Southwestern Michigan College March 23-25 hosts the 39th annual East Central Writing Centers Association (ECWCA) conference in collaboration with Mattawan High School Writing Center.
Theme for the conference is "The Community Lighthouse: How Writing Centers Help Navigate the Changing Tides of Academic Life."
ECWCA is the oldest writing center conference in existence, created in 1978 to foster communication, encourage scholarship, promote research and develop effective practices among colleagues in secondary, community college and university writing centers.
SMC Learning Center Tutoring Support Services Coordinator Louis Noakes expects 162 presenters and about 90 presentations from more than 40 schools in Michigan, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia.
Noakes also organized the Michigan Writing Centers Association's 20th annual Ideas Exchange SMC hosted Oct. 17, 2015, which 145 attended from Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.
Kyle Boswell, who founded Mattawan High School's writing center in 2009, was keynote speaker for the Ideas Exchange and returns as featured speaker before lunch on Friday, March 24.
She previously worked for Western Michigan University as a writing consultant and undergraduate assistant director.
Featured dinner speaker Jill Reglin, Lansing Community College's writing center coordinator as well as a faculty member, closes out Friday.
On Saturday, March 25, Dr. Troy Hicks, Central Michigan University associate professor, concludes the conference.
Hicks directs the Chippewa River Writing Project and additionally worked on Project WRITE beginning in 2007. He is a published author/co-author and member of numerous professional organizations.
Hicks' topic is "Can I Cite That?: Examining What Counts as Evidence in a Digital World."
In an era of fake news and alternative facts, it has become increasingly complicated to think about what "counts" as evidence in academic writing.
Long gone are days when writers could simply trust a ".org" or ".edu" site or be told to dismiss Wikipedia as unreliable.
Building on the Association of College and Research Libraries "Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education," Hicks will examine the tensions — and possibilities — that arise when writers use different kinds of text (including images, videos, tweets and blog posts) as evidence in academic argument.
Hicks, who grew up in Jackson, will also explore the boundaries of copyright and fair use, exploring the intersections of these legal issues with ethical issues of plagiarism and citation.
Reglin said there are many challenges in the community college writing center world, from staffing to service mergers with other student support areas.
"There's lots of disagreement at two-year colleges whether students are qualified to be tutoring peers," Reglin said. "Peers have a natural synergy. They can talk shop with each other without intimidation or a power dynamic. I see my own students shy in class, reluctant to come to office hours, more engaged in a peer setting. They are willing to express to peers things they don't share with others — especially teachers. It's more of an issue at two-year colleges because we don't have English majors."
"Staffing challenges and conflation of student services have periodically been topics," observed Reglin, who started MWCA in 1994 while a graduate student at the Michigan State University writing center.
The Alma College graduate is from Milford, between Brighton and Novi.
With three speakers, ECWCA features a pre-conference meet-and-greet at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 23, at SMC's Niles Campus, where each will have an opportunity to talk with guests and lead small training sessions.
Major conference events such as check-in, breakfast, lunch, dinner and keynote addresses take place at Fred L. Mathews Library and Conference Center on the Dowagiac campus.
Sessions take place in the adjacent Barbara Wood and Foster Daugherty buildings.
Poster sessions will be displayed in Mathews Conference Center West for viewing throughout the day.

Sent in from Nick:
A typical PRO road team requires a lot of stuff, from bikes and wheels to kits and food. A well-funded team receives this by the truckload early in the season: shelves stocked, bikes built, tires glued, and kits disseminated. For the entire season, inventories of gear are kept in some nondescript, bunker-like warehouse on the edge of town. This is known as the Service Course.
When the team travels to races, the trip begins by backing trucks and team cars up to the Service Course to load up gear before rolling out in search of a victory. When in the field, team trucks and buses serve as the rolling Service Course and small parts, pressure washers, vices, grinding wheels, spare parts, spare frames, and spare kits all have a home in the organized and spotless rolling team shop.
But what about the small time team, or the independent rider? Anyone who has ever traveled to a race or even traveled to merely ride knows that the rental car and the hotel room are the Service Course. If hotel management ever knew just how resourceful bike racers are, they would ban us like pets and rock stars.
I have built bikes, rebuilt BBs, mixed bottles, glued tubulars, done laundry, cooked for a crew of 10, and hosted post-race parties all from the confines of team HQ - the hotel.
The hotel room is your sanctuary, your temple for the pre-race prep. Ride the rollers, hang your freshly washed kits in the window, and wash the nasty bike that just endured a warm-up of torrential rain and toothpaste-thick mud. Wheels off, bike on the fork tips, shower on: done... then try to get the big chunks to go down the drain. Gear bags and travel cases stack up in the room's corners like freight containers at port; horizontal surfaces become home to the grocery and messenger bags containing the personal items that help us adhere to the pre-race rituals, attempting to bring the comfort that comes from routine.
Like many of you, I seek out the extended stay types with a fridge, microwave, stove, and often, a common living room area with a couch. The added space is always in-demand and offering up the couch helps out a mate and can offset the travel expenses.
Having a PRO bus and support staff would be ideal, but for those of us who live the dream at our own expense, the hotel room is our beacon in foreign cities and a warm embrace during the cold cyclocross months.
So now you know- SC

Yesterday was supposed to be Harlow's big break.
He had been asked to go to an ad agency downtown to do a photo shoot for a really big pet product brand. Naturally I was hesitant to agree to this. I mean I don't want to sound selfish or anything, but I'm supposed to be the star of this family. I'm the one who has been working tirelessly going to auditions and trying to get an agent hoping one day I'll "make it." Yet it was Harlow who booked his first big gig- without even trying I might add.
So like the good stage mom I am, I said okay. Of course Harlow was ecstatic. Let's not kid anyone here, the guy is a total attention whore. Yesterday he was full of demands before the shoot. Bathe me, scrub my ears, brush my teeth, give me turkey meat, more turkey meat, now a cheese stick. ... Again, I'm a good stage mom so I let it happen.
Harlow was so concerned about looking good he actually tricked me into thinking he was going to be a little bit professional about this whole thing. And that got me excited. If one of us was going to make it I guess I could accept it being him. I could live in his shadow for life, I've already done it for the past three years anyway.
But I was wrong about the whole professional thing.
I knew things were going to be bad when we got into the elevator in the building and Har just started going crazy. Not like a scared crazy, just a crazy-crazy. A vizsla-crazy. He's been on elevators before, all city dogs have, but for some reason yesterday he started jumping on the walls and barking at the buttons.
When we got off on the floor of the ad agency Har ran straight for the front desk and put his paws on it looking for treats. He thinks that every time we go somewhere he just has to put his paws on a counter and he'll get a treat. And because we live in Lincoln Park, that's typically the case. Every business serves dog treats. And they reward his bad behavior because "he's just so cute," or so they say... Speaking of bad behavior, Harlow isn't exactly well trained... He used to be. Kind of. But he's a jumper. That's pretty much my fault though because when I walk in the door I kind of encourage it, what can I say I like Harlow hugs. And who am I to judge, I'm not exactly the best trained human, I don't always stay when people tell me to, so whatever.
After he made his presence known to everyone in the office, truly everyone, we were guided into a room with a white backdrop. The photographer showed us some example photos of what he was looking for, "just a relaxed chill look," he said as Harlow ran full on zoomies around the small office, pausing only to jump on the chairs and desk, a look of pure excited mania in his eye.
Here's the thing about Vizslas, they're not chill or relaxed. They are crazy. I love Harlow so much and will never stray from having a Vizsla, but they cray. I regularly get asked if Har's still a puppy because he still has that clumsy puppy energy. He's going to be four in two weeks.
As you can imagine, he didn't sit in front of the white backdrop and pose nicely. He did anything but. I tried treats, I tried commands, I tried sitting in front of the backdrop nicely myself, but nothing worked. He was tossing his big break down the drain and he didn't even care. I think every shot probably looked like this.
And then after all of his running around, he got super diva like and demanded he be brought an ice cold glass of water. With a lemon.
I'm not supposed to mention the brand he was shooting for (just yet) but if his shots get chosen you'll be seeing his mug all over the place on product packaging. Sadly, I think we all know this won't be the case.
I guess not all dogs are cut out to be model-dogs. Not this guy anyway.

– Includes all three Transformers movies on Blu-ray and Transformers: Dark of the Moon on Blu-ray 3D
- Loaded with over 10 hours of bonus features and packaged in exclusive trophy display packaging
- Features a movie plaque signed by director Michael Bay with images from all three films
- Limited quantityTransformers
"I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?" deadpans Sam Witwicky, hero and human heart of Michael Bay's rollicking robot-smackdown fest, Transformers. Witwicky (the sweetly nerdy Shia LaBeouf, channeling a young John Cusack) is the perfect counterpoint to the nearly nonstop exhilarating action. The plot is simple: an alien civil war (the Autobots vs. the evil Decepticons) has spilled onto Earth, and young Sam is caught in the fray by his newly purchased souped-up Camaro. Which has a mind–and identity, as a noble-warrior robot named Bumblebee–of its own. The effects, especially the mind-blowing transformations of the robots into their earthly forms and back again, are stellar.
Fans of the earlier film and TV series will be thrilled at this cutting-edge incarnation, but this version should please all fans of high-adrenaline action. Director Bay gleefully salts the movie with homages to pop-culture touchstones like Raiders of the Lost Ark, King Kong, and the early technothriller WarGames. The actors, though clearly all supporting those kickass robots, are uniformly on-target, including the dashing Josh Duhamel as a U.S. Army sergeant fighting an enemy he never anticipated; Jon Voight, as a tough yet sympathetic Secretary of Defense in over his head; and John Turturro, whose special agent manages to be confidently unctuous, even stripped to his undies. But the film belongs to Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and the dastardly Megatron–and the wicked stunts they collide in all over the globe. Long live Transformers! --A.T. Hurley
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Pure. Popcorn. Entertainment. That's an exact classification of director Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Think of Transformers 1 on crack. In other words, this sequel took all of the extreme elements that made fans love the first movie and increased them exponentially. The action is nonstop, with battles and explosions from start to finish. The camera (without any subtlety) exploits Megan Fox's hotness to the max. As if she weren't enough, a new sex kitten (Isabel Lucas) is thrown into the equation. Shia LaBeouf is as charismatic as ever, and fills the starring role with ease. And then there's the humor. Sam's parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White)provided some semi-raunchy laugh-out-loud moments in the first movie, but now they take it to the next level. Sometimes it seems like they are trying a little too hard, but it is still hilarious.
As far as the "plot" goes, the writers didn't waste much time–it's really just a context for the giant-robot death matches and dramatic slow-mo sequences. The movie kicks off two years later where the Autobots have formed an alliance with the U.S. government, creating an elite team led by Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel), in an effort to snuff out any remaining Decepticons that show up. The bad guys keep coming, and it turns out that a much more menacing force than Megatron is out there–and it is looking for something on Earth that is tied to the very origin of the Transformers race. Fans of the franchise will be delighted by the addition of many new robot characters (there are well over 40 in the sequel, versus only 13 in the first). The second Transformers has shaped up to be one of the worst reviewed and most successful movies of all time. This strange pairing is really just an indication that this movie has one purpose: to entertain. The creators didn't want to waste time bogging down the action and drama with substance–which was arguably a good decision. –Jordan Thompson
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Talk about "transforming." Michael Bay tested the patience of even the most devoted Transformers fan with the second installment of the franchise, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but the hyperactive director bounces back in energetic form with number three, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. From the long opening sequence (a zany alternate-history reading of the NASA moon program, complete with cameos by John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon) through the predictably extended action climax, Bay is actually on his best behavior. Sure, his taste is as vulgar as ever (is introducing your leading lady via a lingering butt shot part of the director's personal signature?), but the story line is streamlined and the action is coherent: the constant chop-chop of the fighting sequences in Revenge is gone, replaced by a long-take approach that actually shows us who's fighting who. Plus, it's hard to resist a tilting skyscraper that allows the protagonists to slide down its glassy exterior. I know, right?
Shia LaBeouf returns, armed with a new and improbably bodacious girlfriend (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley); although initially unemployed, he's drawn back into protecting the planet from giant outer-space robots, as the Decepticons menace the Earth once again. John Turturro and Josh Duhamel return to help, and Frances McDormand and John Malkovich join the club. Let's reduce critical expectations and say that if you're going to make a dumb movie about mass destruction, this is the way to do it (and if that sounds like faint praise, compare the movie to its abysmal predecessor). Throw in Hangover funnyman Ken Jeong, computer nerd Alan Tudyk doing a German accent, and the voice of Leonard Nimoy as Sentinel Prime, and you've got yourself a three-ring circus of extremely spirited nonsense. Just how Michael Bay wants it. –Robert Horton

Nature, Music and Art always inspired me and creates a perfect symphony.In music instruments I like Veena, Violin, Saxaphone and Flute. Veena- wonderful mood elevator!, Violin is always an Excellent treat to ears, Where the saxophone speaks and Flute create magical melodies. . Everyone is attracted towards the melodious sound of flute.It is made by bamboo tree and sounds very melodious when played in an atmosphere surrounded by Nature.I decided to sketch flute with design and surrounded by nature in Madhubhani Style. Flute is very close to Nature.
It May Have Many Holes
And Emptiness
If You Work On It Carefully
It Can Play
And Emptiness
If You Work On It Carefully
It Can Play
Flutes somehow inspired me to search more on it I go through about flute instrument I got some interesting information about Flute. Flute has been mentioned in the Puranas. Krishna has different flutes and He plays different melodies for different purposes. There are three kinds of flutes used by Krishna.
1) Venu : This is a very small, not more than six inches long, with six holes for whistling.
2) Murali: Murali is about eighteen inches long with a hole at the end and four holes on the body of the flute. This kind of flute produces a very enchanting sound.
3) Vamsi: The vamsi flute is about fifteen inches long, with nine holes on its body.
These flutes were sometimes bedecked with jewels. Sometimes they were made of marble and sometimes of hollow bamboo. When the flute is made of jewels it is called sammohini. When made of gold, it is called akarsini. Krishna would play on any of these three flutes when they were needed. Krishna uses the Venu flute to attract to Gopis, like Venum kvanantam from the Brahma Samhita
Flute being the most natural instrument goes very well with the nature the echo of the sound and it pierces the universal and Thus the vibration enters the ears of all inhabitants.Nature actually talks back to you. Even while krishna playing flute you can see that birds start chirping and try to talk to you through their singing. Although it sounds very melodious, the echo of the sound bouncing back either from the leaves of the trees is simply very delightful. sound pierces the universal covering and goes to the spiritual sky. Thus the vibration enters the ears of all inhabitants. The trees on the bank of the rivers are always jubilant. They appear to be smiling with their flowers and shedding tears in the form of flowing honey.
As Previously said I am not a artist but I wish to try to make this as theme and I sketched in Madhubani style. I used very bright colours and some times when I don't find what I am looking for, I compose my own colours,Flute designed flowers and birds surrounded by leaves. the circles echo back the music..Through this theme I tried to connect Nature, art and music!

The European Central Bank's programme of bond buying has led to a deterioration in market liquidity, Bank of America Merrill Lynch finds.
Data from the bank shows that since the ECB expanded its bond buying programme to include corporate bonds, market liquidity has actually decreased.
"We see signs that since CSPP [corporate sector purchase programme] buying began in earnest on June 8, credit market liquidity has actually deteriorated. Brexit has of course transpired in the meantime, but nonetheless bid-offers for investment-grade bonds have been moving higher," the BofA Merrill Lynch global research report states.
"So while the aim of CSPP disclosure was to preserve credit market liquidity, the initial signs seem to point to something more worrying: that the ECB's dominance in corporate bond buying is in fact becoming counterproductive for market health."
Disclosures from the ECB on its bond buying show it now has "creeping influence" in almost 70 per cent of corporate bonds eligible for the programme, the report states.
"While disclosure is meant to alleviate concerns over market distortion, we fear that it couldmake eligible credits more illiquid," the report states.
As a result, BofA Merrill Lynch expects investors to move allocations away from European corporate bonds, to shift away from the eligible corporate bond market.
It suggests moves will be seen into corporate hybrids, US investment grade, European BB-rated bonds and bank bonds.

After reading this article you will learn about:- 1. Definition and Concept of Method Study 2. Scope of Method Study 3. Indicators 4. Factors 5. Procedure.
Definition and Concept of Method Study:
Method study is basically conducted to simplify the work or working methods and must go towards higher productivity. It is always desirable to perform the requisite functions with desired goal and with minimum consumption of resources. Method signifies how a work is to be done i.e. description of how we consume resources in order to achieve our target?
Method is integral part of work accomplishment and signify:
(1) How well our methods utilize the limited available resources such as manpower, machines, materials and money?
(2) How our methods physically affect production output of the unit?
(3) The quality of output obtained by application of our methods.
Thus methods can determine the amount of input materials, time, power and money consumed. So methods may be considered the core where one can attempt to reduce the consumption of resources thereby reducing cost per unit output through utilisation of proper methods. The method design can decide the cost and quality of output produced.
Method Study may be defined as:
"A procedure for examining the various activities associated with the problem which ensures a systematic, objective and critical evaluation of the existing factors and in addition an imaginative approach while developing improvements."
There are three aspects of its application:
(1) Method study proper is concerned with broad investigation and improvement of a shop/section, the layout of equipment and machines and the movement of men and materials.
(2) Motion study is a more detailed investigation of the individual worker/operator, layout of his machines tools, jigs and fixtures and movement of his limbs when he performs his job. The egromics aspect i.e. studies of environment, body postures, noise level and surroundings temperature also form part of investigation.
(3) Micro motion study i.e., much more detailed investigation of very rapid movements of the various limbs of the worker.
So motion study is an analysis of the flow and processing of material and the movements of men through or at various work stations. Thus motion study analyses the human activities which make up an operation whereas method study or methods analysis has been defined as: "a systematic procedure for the critical analysis of movements made by men, materials and machines m performing any work".
Now because by definition method study includes the study of all facets of human work and all factors affecting the work so motion study is considered as a part of method study.
Scope of Method Study:
The task of work simplification and compatible work system design concerns the followings:
(i) Layout of shop floor and working areas or work stations.
(ii) Working conditions i.e., ergomics etc.
(iii) Handling distances (material movement),
(iv) Tooling and equipment used.
(v) Quality standards to be achieved.
(vi) Operators and operations in achieving the production targets.
(vii) Materials to be used.
(viii) Power required and available.
(ix) Work cycle time.
(x) Working processes.
All these factors are related to method study and possible improvements may be:
(a) Short-term:
The improvements which can be introduced quickly and economically. These may be concerned with management and workforce.
(b) Long-term:
The improvements which are not acceptable to management at present and which require good investment.
Indicators of Method Study:
Some common indicators which show the requirements of method study investigations in a manufacturing process are:
(a) Bottle necks in the production system which results in long delivery dates or unbalanced workflow.
(b) Under-utilization of resources as indicated by idleness of plant.
(c) The quality of the product may be affected by poor workers morale and this may lead to high absenteeism.
(d) Inconsistent wages or earning of workers also indicates a need for review of production techniques.
Factors which Contribute towards the Selection of a Problem for Method Study:
When considering if method study should be utilized for a particular job the following factors should be considered:
(i) Economic Factors.
(ii) Technical Factors.
(iii) Human Factors.
(i) Economic Factors:
These are important in all walks of life but if the economic importance of a job is small it is of no use to initiate or continue a long study. It is important to give priorities to those types of problems/job which offer more potential for cost control or reduction.
Before one goes ahead with the problem a suitable reply to the following questions should be found out i.e., if the job:
i. Have a high labour input i.e. time consuming.
ii. Have excessive idleness of man and machine.
iii. Involve heavy overtime payment to workers.
iv. Have excessive rejection rates of items produced.
v. Have production bottlenecks.
vi. Have a pressing demand.
vii. Have work duplication at various work stations.
viii. Have higher accidents proportion.
ix. Have longer movements of men or materials.
x. Have never been studied for incorporating improvements.
xi. Have high rework rate and cost.
(ii) Technical Factors:
The most important point is to ensure that adequate technical knowledge about the process to be investigated is available if a workable solution is to be found.
For example a particular machine tool is hurdle in achieving the desired production rate and a increase in cutting speed or depth of cut increases the output but affects the quality seriously. In such situations technical expertise in machine tools and metal cutting process is essential in order to solve problems of this kind.
(iii) Human Factors:
Emotional reactions of the working staff to the method study and changes in method are important considerations.
The causes may be summarized as follows:
(i) To earn more wages.
(ii) To attain promotions.
(iii) To be liked by fellow workers.
(iv) To be of some importance among colleagues and senior staff.
(v) To get some satisfaction from the work involved.
(vi) To be party in decision making process concerning welfare schemes for employees.
(vii) To obtain security of job, position etc.
The above cited points are not only objectives sought, nor does every individual hold all of these neither objectives nor do they give them equal weightage but these are the possible reactions needing consideration.
Thus it is desirable that the trade union leaders, employees and supervisors should be told about the benefits and other objective to be achieved from the method study. Even in adverse situations the study may be postponed but should not be dropped altogether otherwise the economic development is not possible.
Procedure for Method Study:
Method study can be performed in following six steps with the help of operation process chart as shown in Fig. 18.1.
1. Selection of Work/Job to be Studied:
This is one of the most important tasks to select appropriate job, activity or situation for method analysis and mainly it is a managerial responsibility. Method study and its implementation will cost money.
Practically any activity is a potential project for improvement but only those jobs should be selected when there are some valid reasons for method study (like job/activity is unpopular or considered dirty by workers). Maximum cost benefit is the normal objective.
2. Collection and Recording of Necessary Information:
Obtain the facts about the present method of doing the job and record them. In order to improve an activity or procedure the factual information is collected from the place where the job under study is being executed by direct visual observation.
This can be done by:
(i) Recording movement of machines or materials.
(ii) Recording the critical procedure in the job.
(iii) Recording the operator's performance.
(iv) Recording the path of movement of workers w.r.t. machines and allied operations, (v) Recording the path of movement to improve workplace layout.
(v) Recording the scrap generated.
There are many standardized techniques (i.e. charts, diagrams, graphs etc.) available which may be used for proper recording and presentation for further analysis. The choice of technique depends on the type of information which is to be recorded.
This is an important step since the improvement m existing method or development of new method depends on how exactly the facts about the existing method have been recorded.
3. Critical Examination of the Existing Method:
Now examine the facts critically. This is a key step in the whole study. The information available in the form of chart and graphs after step II can now be thoroughly studied and analysed m order to detect the production stages where improvement in the method is possible. This is achieved by questioning the different activities of the process in a systematic logical and objective manner.
The questions sequence follows a well-established pattern examines:
These questions can help in the development of new method by getting the answers for:
(i) What should be done?
(ii) When should be done?
(iii) Who should do it?
(iv) Where should it be done?
(v) How should it be done?
The following improvements are possible on the basic of answers to these questions:
(i) Improvement in material flow.
(ii) Improvement in working conditions.
(iii) Improvement in manufacturing techniques.
(iv) Improvement to clerical routine.
(v) Reduction in material waste.
In this way a well conducted examination will determine the purpose, place, sequence of these activities, the person performing them and the resources by which it can be performed so as to select the best/optimum out of the possible alternatives.
4. Develop the New Improved Method:
The analysis of existing work method can provide a starting point for a synthesis of suggested improvements in job performance. The technique specially designed for improving work method is called the process improvement formula.
The four steps of the formula are:
(i) Eliminate the unnecessary activities
(ii) Combine two or more activities
(iii) Sequence the various activities properly and
(iv) Simplify the activities.
Complete elimination of unwanted activities is the most important step in developing an improved method. If elimination is not possible then possibility of combining the different activities should be explored. The next strategy in development stage is to identify scope of changes in the sequence of operations or activities.
The last and most important plus expensive step in process of method development is the simplification of activities in order to allow the operator/worker to complete the job more quickly and easily by reducing the number of operations, reducing or eliminating the delays and storage etc.
Finally after selecting the work method to be adopted, certain amount of experimentation will be required to locate and eliminate snags if any.
Specify the improved method. It is essential that the selected method be described fully and in a systematic manner.
Specifications of the selected method accomplish several purposes like:
(i) Communication of the method to the management for its approval.
(ii) Communication to those concerned with its implementation like instructions to workers and so far as the machines and layout are concerned.
(iii) Provision of an official record of the method.
The new method should possess the following aspects:
(a) Full use of worker's body,
(b) Arrangements of workplace and
(c) Design of tools and Equipment.
The acceptance of new method will mainly depend upon the cost benefit, trade unions approach, working hours and security requirements etc.
5. Install the Improved Method:
This involves training of those who are going to utilize the new method. Cooperation from both supervisory staff and operators is essential to the successful installation of any proposed and selected method. So the installation of the new method should then be entrusted to some responsible person.
The method implemented can be further improved by way of continuous observations and discussions. The trial runs may be carried out during which minor modifications may be made to facilitate working.
Any method selected is ultimately to be utilized by the employees in an environment created by the management. So employees and management should be subjected to intensive analysis so that the proposed method is operated in the best possible manner.
Installation phase of the method study is complete as soon as the newly installed method starts working smoothly and satisfactorily and provides encouraging result (such as time saving and scrap reduction etc.).
6. Maintain the Improved Method:
Even after the workers have been trained and requisite changes in machines and layout have been incorporated, there is no guarantee that the method will be used the way it was designed.
The proper functioning of the installed method is ensured by periodic checks and verifications. The purpose of checks and reverse is to determine if the method being adopted and practised is the same or it has some deviation from the selected one.
Reasons for deviation if any should be explored and the required changes may be incorporated in the procedure being practised so as to revert back to the authorized or selected one.
Views of persons concerned (like operators and supervisors) with the installed method can be of much help in exploring further improvements in the system. Therefore the method should be reviewed at intervals to provide allowances for any changes.

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I think this was a great idea. I actually had a similar idea at one point, but I never got around to it, due to my drawing skills being absolutely terrible and being too much of a perfectionist. But I always wanted to see a flash adaptation of The Shining, and here is one.
*Humour was usually quite good
*Good adaptation of both the book and the movie
*Character personalities were somewhat kept
*Voice acting itself was decent
*One hour long? Seriously? A lot of people will get worn out by that time.
*Animation wasn't too great, but this might have been the point. If it was, ignore this bullet.
*The poopin' beaks running gag wasn't funny, or even shocking after a while. I know it's your user name, but it's not much of an excuse.
Overall, good effort.
thanks for the feedback. poopin beaks is actually not a running gag, nor is it funny. it is a way of life. it is not intended to be shocking in the least. it was a street art project that we had been carrying on for some time, and it has actually manifested itself into something bigger than either of us could ever foresee. please don't take this the wrong way, but if you don't get it you never will, NO OFFENSE. there are people who poop beaks and there are people who do not. it is a freedom of expression and an embodiment of human liberty. this runs alot deeper than defecating bird bills. thanks again for the review i really appreciate it.

Street Fighter LoA2 Demo
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I was a huge fan of the first LoA. And honestly, this demo seemed a LOT better than that game! I'm not kidding - the fighting system, while not quite as intuitive, is a lot more complex, interesting, smooth, and closer to an actual fighting game than the first game.
Seriously - do NOT listen to the people who say the old system was better. As much as I liked the first game, it was NOT a perfect system. It was simple to learn, but it was very glitchy and awkward. Pure QTEs are not my preference.
That being said, the current system DOES have some bugs that need to be worked out. Guarding is definitely a problem here, as it is way too sensitive about where the mouse needs to be to be considered a "high" guard - too high, and it goes back to a "middle" guard. Here, a slight fusion with the old system might work - give the option for the player to use the keyboard arrows to select the guard position.
If people REALLY hate having to use the mouse, then you could let the system be controlled by spacebar presses or something similar instead as an option. But you've made a huge improvement to the engine in this demo, and the last thing I'd want to see is for you to throw it away for something old-fashioned and dated.
Don't worry, It was never my intention to go back to the same old battle system.
What I got from the other reviews is that the new one needs to be a little faster, and that the bar system I used for the attacks ain't appealing as I thought.
All I want is to make the perfect system, and that's why I posted this very short demo, to test out some ideas, make some experiment.
The final result will be something definitely better (that's what I hope, at least).
This Game is a Joke 3

It no longer has that feel the original had. In other words, it's starting to get old.
Don't worry, it's the last ;)
Ultimate Crab Battle
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Excellent game
Way to take an old-school-type video game boss and make it even more insane.
I got first place as of this review! The trick is to hold "a" down instead of pressing it repeatedly. Even once he hits zero health, he will continue to live until his attack is finished. Keep shooting him, anyway, because you get more points.

Heyyyyyyyy – so lets just go ahead and address this elephant in the room that I'm a total dick. I went ahead and I launched this great/ adorable website…I was on it like white on rice (I honestly don't even understand that saying but like, I still get it. Who made that up? What if the rice was brown? or that cool black rice?) Anyways then I kinda just walked right off a cliff and stopped posting. But I have several reasons/ excuses. One is that my schedule's been a bit busier because of a.) my job b.) enjoying summer and my dog and my human and c.) I've been filming Total Diva's. So theres been a lot going on. BUT I'm really trying to get my shit together here and make this website a priority. Also I haven't been cooking very much lately but I have become very close friends with my Postmates delivery man. Also I'm making taco's tonight to just get my ass back into the game, but is it really worth to post about tacos? Buy the Old El Paso kit. Eat a a taco. The End. HOWEVER I am making some street corn so maybe I'll post about that later (insert nails being painted emoji). Also my air conditioning upstairs is busted so honesty I may not even make it another evening in this household. Goner. This Vegas heats is NO JOKE. NO DAMN JOKE!!! We have to sleep in the spare bedroom like we're (heat) prisoners in our own home. It's okay – someone should be here in an hour to fix it.
let's us have a chat shall we?
Tattoo City!!
What in the heck word is up with all of you?? I just got home from a few days on the road for work with WWE. We were in Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. All great! Loved the shows but right meow I'm home and just picked up the fat little dumpling baby Blue and we're kicking it pool side and getting little bit of sun in our SPF 193. No burns over here a thankyousomuch desert sun. Which also means I'm still kinda (not really at all but it was a bit of a segue into this blog post) covering up my TATTOO so it doesn't get all gnarly and scabby and gross.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
16:29 17 January 2013
The Department of Transport revealed back in 2011 there were 3,944 people killed or injured in traffic accidents when there was snow or ice on the roads that year. This highlights the danger of what lies ahead and that drivers need to be wary of the dangers inclement weather can bring.
Prepare your vehicle
It's essential you prepare your car for bad weather. Sub-zero temperatures can do nasty things to your vehicle, from freezing your windscreen to rendering normal tyres useless.
There are simple checks you can do yourself to ensure your motor is in the best shape possible to take on the winter weather. The most important check is your tyres; you can easily lose control if they aren't in decent shape. Fitting winter tyres might be worth consideration as these offer much greater grip and break more effectively under snow and ice.
Some insurance companies see these as modifications so you may need to inform your provider if you do make a change. Your policy should tell you whether this is the case. You won't be charged additional premium provided your vehicle remains roadworthy.
For more winter driving tips check out this article.
Adapt your driving
It's not just your car that needs to be ready for the weather. Inevitably you'll be hitting the roads during the next few weeks and so you need to adapt your driving style to the conditions.
If the roads start to ice up there are things you can do to reduce the risk. It's essential to bring down your speed; this can prevent skidding. It's also important drivers not to brake or accelerate too quickly. If you do feel the car going into a skid, drop gears and gently apply the brakes.
Before you set out, always check weather and traffic updates, this will help plan your journey and go some way to keeping you as safe and stress-free as possible.

Read More About Our Story:
Hi there! I'm so glad you stopped by. I'm Angela, the founder of Out of the Dust. I KNOW that you came to the right place for your rentals, but you may want to know some facts about me and a little bit about how we came to be
Out of the Dust Rentals. So, here's our story.
I live on a dirt road and I love to look at the mountains and sunsets from my backyard. A little coffee with my cream and Jesus are my things in the morning. Well, ok. I have to admit, Instagram too!
On Sundays though, my favorite things are church and bunching with my tribe. I'm shameless to dumpster dive for a good DIY project. Around here at Out of the Dust I'm surrendered by all kinds of DIYs. Come to think of it, my whole life has been a DIY project.
My creative journey began way back in Communist Romania (where I was born and raised). After coming to America when I was 20 years old, in 1984 (dang, that's a long time ago), my creativity turned toward being a wife and mother. My dreams and purpose revolved around my faith, family, and my new country. I absolutely loved it! I spent time sewing, painting, cleaning, organizing, planning, decorating, designing, and everything in between. As if that was not enough to keep me busy, I pursued a passion and cared for the elderly. They still have a soft spot in my heart and always will. In a flash of an eye, my daughter and twin boys (who kept me on my toes and constantly pushed me creatively) were grown. Without me knowing it, life was about to take another turn and big changes were about to ensue—some good and some not so much. The twins were graduating high school, our daughter was engaged to be married, and amongst that craziness, my husband was laid off from his job—did I mention I turned 50 right around this time? Yeah, the silver hair started to rule. Talk about milestones! But, during this stressful and exciting moment in life, Out of the Dust came to be.
From Out of the Dust, literally, (remember we live on a dirt road) it all started—I took my creativity and planning skills, my husband's ability to build and fix just about anything, our daughter's talent and design skills, and of course the twins muscle power, and we decided, as a family, to bring our daughter's vision for her wedding to life. To make it beautiful and one-of-a-kind! That was the beginning of our rental and lifestyle company. Thus, we created and built our signature (patent pending) wood table tops. We collected, restored, and brought to new life the furniture and décor that was used during my daughter's wedding. All of these special pieces truly made her wedding a one-of- a-kind and an absolutely beautiful event. To add the cherry on top, the guests and vendors were awestruck by the ingenuity of our wood table tops – it was then that we knew we were onto something. However, on the day of the event, we were just in euphoric happiness for our daughter and son-in-law and were ecstatic that the bride and groom's dream and vision came true. What a sense of accomplishment! We did it!
Today, from Out of the Dust we create and bring to the "table"—style, without compromise, for any special event.
From our signature wood table tops to every little detail of décor, our goal is to bring our clients vision to life and make each event a beautiful one-of-a-kind experience. So, thank you for stopping by! I hope by reading a little about us you got to know us a bit. Take a moment and browse through our inventory, I hope you fall in love with our pieces and find what you're envisioning for your special event or home. However, if you don't see it here, remember, from Out of the Dust we can find it or build it for you.

Pivot shoe removal
A home owner from USA says:
September 3, 2013
Dear Sir. I had Wintech Industries double hung tilt-in vinyl windows installed in 1997. I need to remove pivot shoes. The side jambs/rails have no cut outs. I tried your 75-069 jamb spreaders with no luck. Vinyl jambs are too ridge. Do you recommend I cut out a portion of the jamb to remove the pivot shoe? Any other suggestions? Your assistance is appreciated. Great website, video's, etc. Thanks, Ron
Paul from SWISCO responded:
September 5, 2013
Hmm... before we start making any cut-outs, can we see a few pictures of the track itself? If we can take a look at it, we can determine whether or not you could use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the track.
A quick learner from Vienna, VA says:
September 5, 2013
Paul, attached are a few pictures showing the jamb. Hope this helps you. If you need anything else please advise. Ron
Paul from SWISCO responded:
September 9, 2013
Ah yes, I see what you mean. Alright, I think at this point you might want to consider creating cut out yourself. Since you're working with the bottom sash, I would make the cut out at the top of window channel. Now, making your own cut out isn't the most recommended course of action. There is a chance you can cause damage to the window or you might even hurt yourself. It's really a last-ditch project when all other options have failed. If you choose to do it, make sure to be very careful. You are cutting rigid vinyl and safety has to be paramount. It might be best if you have a local handy person familiar with this kind of project come out and do it for you.
After you get the pivot shoe out, check the dimensions. It could be either our 15-047 or 15-121.
A quick learner from Vienna, VA says:
September 20, 2013
Paul, I just wanted you to know my son was able to make the jamb spreaders work fine. Pivot shoes came out easily. New ones work great. My son also used your tool to tighten the sprial balances. Thanks for all you help. Ron
Paul from SWISCO responded:

Back in May when we reported excitedly from the launch presser for Pioneer's new AppRadio car audio deck, we were told it'd hit store shelves by late June, and cost in the vicinity of $500. Well, it's arrived, and Pioneer has added a few features to the free AppRadio app. Oh, and they've lopped $100 off the price — it's now $399. Aren't surprises great?
Here're details on the added app functions from today's press release:
The latest update to Pioneer's AppRadio app now adds access to the iPhone's Contacts, Calendar and Photos apps. Contacts provides direct access to stored contact information for hands-free calling via Bluetooth, routing via Google Maps, and enables users to quickly send their current locations via e-mail. With the vehicle parked and the parking brake fully engaged, Calendar displays stored calendar and events information and Photos provides on-screen viewing of the user's photos, slide shows, geotagged photos and videos taken with an iPhone 4.

On Ebay from my experience I would say that used DVDs and video games are insanely popular. Books, just because there are so many, are also a big seller even on Ebay but nowhere near the volume that Amazon does. The volume that amazon sells of books is just absurd!
Dinky little things are incredibly popular on Ebay. Specifically things that weigh between 1-3 ounces, and ship direct from China. Type in any search term with lowest buy it now...your eyes will go numb sifting through it all before you find someone selling an item that's not mass produced, directly shipped from China.
Junk that is shipped from china is much less common on Amazon. Amazon is more well known for suckering book buyers into overpaying for overpriced gimmicky items like inflatable pet beds and obsolete as seen on TV items.

Tough question to answer because what you would think can be sold easily on EBAY or Amazon that is just not the case because the market gets flooded quickly if it is a best selling item.
I used to sell a lot of Hard Rock Cafe Pins at Neil's Hot Deals but over the last year it is very difficult to move them because so many people are now selling them.
My advice is know the item and do your research. Try to sell something unique to where you live. For me it is anything that is made and sold only in New York

I'm not sure about it, but as my experience, C++ is designed for 32-bit system and best run with windows, so if you are doing your work on PC or UNIX, it should be the best one for every kind of applications except its complecity.

The thing I don't like about C++ for fluid dynamics is the inability of the C++ compilers I have looked to run time allocate higher dimension arrays. They can do vectors but not higher order arrays. Fortran can do this so I don't have to recompile for every problem. Now, Delphi also provides a very powerful object Pascal which can also do run time allocation of higher dimension arrays. This makes a very convenient way to build an application if you, as I, are not a full time C++ programmer. Delphi allows you to do object programming and to build beautiful graphical interfaces with little effort. The number crunching is done using F90 or F77 and compiled as dll's to be called by the Delphi interface. Or, you can easily just use Delphi to white an input file for the Fortran program. It makes for a very user friendly program.

I agree fully with the sentiment but the reason "C++ cannot do this" is rarely true. If you want something (like nice higher dimension arrays) then you can do one of two things: (a) write the class yourself or (b) get one from somewhere. The former takes a long time unless an experienced C user. The latter appears quicker but you will have to learn how to use it in combination with other classes which may lose more time in the long run. A typical matrix class (cmat.h) from an old version of the TNT toolkit I just looked at is 592 lines long including comments. This is probably typical for a fully sorted class.
However, you can dynamically create C's usual representation of a multidimensional array in a number of ways at the "raw C" level. For example:
typedef float * float_p; float ** a = new float_p[ ni ]; for (i=0;i<ni;++i) a[i] = new float[ nj ];
and refer to the elements as a[i][j] and pass the array around as float ** a. This is a bit cryptic, slightly messy, a bit unreliable but works. Probably an accurate summary of C?
It is only Fortran 90 and later that supports dynamic arrays. Fortran 77 which is still probably the most widely used does not support dynamic arrays.
I have only heard good things from people about the ease of using Delphi. However, using it locks you into a proprietary system running on Windows. This is often fine for small projects but unacceptable for large ones where portability and maintainance/development over the long term is usually a significant consideration.

I have been using the Watcom f77 compiler for several years to do run time allocation of higher dimension arrays. It works well and has a good development platform.
I agree that Delphi may not be a good solution for those building commercial programs for a wide variety of platforms. There are still many of us out here who are building our own programs to support our own design work and Delphi provides a very productive tool for doing this. I have built a full up 3D general purpose Navier Stokes program using this approach. I use a Delphi front end to write input decks for the f77 program components. This has made a very user friendly interface and I have not had to invest a great deal of time doing computer programming which is not my primary purpose.

The dynamic arrays in Watcom Fortran are a Watcom extension and nothing to do with Fortran 77. I had a student many years ago who used a dynamic array extension on an HP system and when it came to moving the code to a more standard system it required a major rewrite. The use of dynamic arrays had significantly affected the way the program was structured.
Again I would hearitly endorse your sensible approach so long as the portability of your work really is not particularly important. As one gets older and has moved systems and institutions a few times one does tend to recognise and adopt standards more.
I am curious about why you decided to write the solver in Watcom f77 and not keep everything in Delphi? Or did the solver come first?

(1). I think, both approaches are acceptable. (2). Back in 80's, when I was looking for graphic library for Fortran, I had to wait until MSFortran became available. The other approach was to use a third party graphic library. The decision was based on "portability" which turned out to be the right one. The code developed was able to run on PC without any problem, anywhere. It was amazing because in those days, one must have compatible hardware, software, libraries for the mini-computer systems. (3). Since then I have been looking at the windows GUI. There were several approaches available, Visual Basic, Visual Basic + Fortran, Windows + Fortran, Windows in C, Windows in C++. (4). The straight Visual Basic approach was very user-friendly, but the only problem was the speed. It was slow in graphics and number crunching. (5).The mixed language programming of Visual Basic + Fortran didn't work out even though there was a book on that subject. This was back in early 90's, when Visual Basic was relatively new. (6). At that time, MSFortran was limited to DOS system. This was relaxed later and a larger program could be compiled on Windows environment without direct graphic support in Fortran. Once again, the Fortran code with direct graphic library approach was disrupted . (7). At that point, my conclusion was that I have to move over to the C language system in order to get access to the graphics and the window GUI. Without a large market, the Fortran language platform is going to be left alone without strong support. This proved to be true because MS finally decided to stop the Fortran support. MSFortran is still available under different name through another company. (8). The move from DOS based Fortran to window GUI based C is not simple becuase I had to learn C and window programming. The window GUI part is much harder than C. It took me several years , on-and -off, to learn the window GUI programming. (9). Finally, C++ arrived. Suddenly the move from DOS Fortran to windows stopped again. I had to learn C++, OOP and something called MFC (which I didn't understand when I started reading C++). (10). Now I am reading many, many books on C++. And I think OOP is fairly straightfordward for anyone who has written large scale Fortran codes. In Fortran, you package the operation in subroutines, on the other hand, the operation and the data are packaged in class in C++. This OOP approach is much easier to understand. (11). The most difficult part is the use of the memory address of a variable , that is the so-called pointer. For those who work in the post office, this should be very easy to understand, because they deal with the address all the time. They are not allowed to open the mail to see what is inside. I think the advantage of using the pointer is the efficiency. This avoids creating extra copy of the variable when send through the function argument. You are dealing with the home address or the social security number, or the passport number, instead of dealing with the person directly. (12). This has not solved my problem yet because I need to know how to deal with 3D graphics directly, using DirectX and OpenGL. As I dig deeper into this field using C++ concept, it becomes clear that C++ is the only natural language to combind the objects and the related procedures together, this is especially true when dealing with 3-D graphic elements. (13). VC++ is not as easy to learn as Visual Basic. But now here comes the C++Builder for Borland C++. Based on my son's suggestion, this is as easy as Visual Basic. It is also the same thing used in Delphi. So, there is another route to replace the DOS Fortran, that is C++Builder. (14). Well, the world is becoming very complicated now, instead of simple Fortran, I now have to face : C, C++, window GUI in C, window GUI in C++, MFC (class library for VC++), VC++, C++Builder, OWL. (15). I used to work on my car with carburator in old days. But now, I can't touch my car and I can't work on it. It has a computer in it now. And it is more reliable. The car just start each time I turn on the switch. That was not possible with my old car. I think, even if the world is becoming more complicated, we still have to move on because it gets better that way. ( when I saw the words "several hundred thousands copies sold" on a C++ book cover, I knew that I was behind.) Give yourself at least three years to make the transition.

(1). My son recently mention the C++Builder for Borland C++ to me because he said that the GUI is the same as the one used in Borland's Delphi and it is very user-friendly to program. So, I am looking into it right now. (2). My son has used Delphi in his program a couple years ago, and he said that it was very fast. (3). So, the question is " Can I write everything in Delphi to replace Fortran?" Naturally, it should include GUI, 3-D graphics, and number crunching. In other word, can I program in Pascal instead of Fortran? What do you think? ( I guess I need to learn Pascal also. But , that's no problem.)

I have been using C++ for seven years which is why I am disappointed by it. However, I would not claim to have really mastered any of the three alternative implementations of "C++" I use fairly regularly.
You commented on struggling with pointers but did you ask yourself why you should bother? Almost no other programming language I am aware of burdens the programmer with this sort of nonsense (not even Fortran). C++ has inherited this problem (along with many others) by choosing to maintain compatability with the "high level assembler" C.
You listed a lot of packages you feel you need to master in order to use C++ and seem to recognise this as being somehow wrong but accept it. Why? I guess this may be because you have chosen to work in the closed Windows environment rather than a more open environment like unix. As a rare Windows user, it seems to be no problem if you can work fully within a single package and there are some excellent packages (hence my question about why the Pascal/Fortran split). If you wish to use an OOP approach and a single environment why not use smalltalk? Or one of the OOP Pascal languages?
I have never seen the jumble of features that is C++ described as a natural language before. It can certainly have a go at almost anything and in a variety of ways but the cost in terms of reliability, length of code, required knowledge and above all discipline on the part of the programmer is much too high in my opinion. A natural language would surely restrict the user to the implemented approach (i.e. functional, generic, algorithmic, modular, OOP or whatever).

(1). We do need this kind of stimulating conversation. (2). As for the pointer, it really took me a while to understand it. It is probably easier to call it the social security number of a person. It is hard, because you have to think in parallel. There are two ways to reach a person. (3). I think there are many reasons why I have decided to take the window GUI approach. And the mixed-language approach is at most the intermediate solution for me. (4). So, the problem is I set the goal first, that is the package must be able to run on windows environment. ( naturally, it is aiming at PC environment.) From this goal, I tried to find out how to achieve it. (5). The conclusion is, if you take three weeks on Visual Basic, you can write a CFD code in windows including graphics. But it is too slow for 3-D problems. (6). If it can be done in Delphi, then it should be much faster than Visual Basic. I know it can handle the windows and the graphics. But I don't know whether it can handle the number crunching part easily. (7). So, the next level is the windows + C++, I think it can be done either in VC++, VC++ and MFC, or Borland C++Builder. (8). Well, if one is taking the non-windows approach as a goal, then it is a different story. (9). I think the concept of JAVA is ideal for me. It got ride of the pointer and at the same time it has almost everything in it,including the graphics. But the speed is a problem. (10). Well, I think, I have been looking at CFD program from the users' point of view. As for the research, the old F77 is good enough for number crunching. By the way, you can't see your mesh with F77 though, and that was my main concern.

I have been looking for some 'modern' language to replace fortran in engineering calculations for nearly 30 years. They all have come up short for one reason or another. The problem of run time allocation of higher dimensional arrays was the main irritation. Of course, as Andy so passionately states, many ways to work around this problem in C or C++. My problem is I am lazy and just want to to the fun stuff. Java also does run allocation of arrays and it looks fun to work with; especially using Borlands Java builder(Delphi=C++Builder=Java Builder). But, as with Visual Basic, the resulting code is slow with its JIT compiler. With Delphi 4 the first OOPS for the lazy person arrived. If I were starting over with my 3D flow code I would write it entirely in object Pascal. $92 for a compiler including graphics, bebugging, GUI, and run time allocatable arrays ain't bad. Porting the fortran as dlls is straightforward and so far works pretty well.
By the way the run time allocation of arrays fortran 90 extension used by Watcom has proven compatible with Laheys 32 bit compiler as well as its fortran 90 compiler. Also the extensions by both Lahey and Watcom move easily into the Absoft fortran 90 comiler. It really has not been a problem for me to move between these various compilers. I did port the code to both a linux(PC) and to a unix platform(SGI) and used the default f77 compiler. This change required that I comment out 2 allocation statements and add parameter statements for the dimensions in the usual way. The change took 15 minutes for my 3D Navier Stokes code. I really have not had a lot of trouble moving from one computer and/or system to another. My advantage is probably that I have written all of my code with this kind of portability in mind.

(1).Do you always have to write the Fortran portion as DLL in the Delphi (or C++)? Is it possible to write everything in Delphi (Pascal)? I know Pascal can handle the graphics, windows GUI, can we also use it to replace the Fortran portion? (2). In Visual Basic, writing a code with windows GUI , graphics, and number crunching in one single code to replace the Fortran is no problem. This is because Basic language is almost identical to Fortran language. I am not familiar with Pascal language. So, the question is: Can we write code in Pascal to replace the Fortran? Is it possible? Are there limitations?

I have been thinking about all this stuff for a couple of months now and I haven't come to any conclusion yet. Right now I am programming with the Lahey fortran 90 and as you said the export the number crunching package i.e the dlls to a nice user interface generated by delphi works very well. BUT... as soon as your flow conditions change i.e different size of arrays you are running into trouble don't you? or is there a nice way around using dynamic arrays AND common blocks or that kind of things? This probabbly the reason why i still like the good ole HP fortran.
but I will be happy for any recommendation.

(1). I have come to the conclusion that straight C++ (which includes C) is the right way to go. (2). In this way, one can put together the code with windows GUI (using VC++ or C++-Builder), graphics, number crunching and OOP. (3). It is the trend, the market and the support. (4). AS for the memory management, I think, it depends on the purpose of the program, whether it should be dynamic or static.

I am curious. Unlike Fortran 77, Fortran 90 supports variable array allocation so why is there a problem changing the grid dimensions when driving a Fortran 90 solver from a Delphi front end?
I would recommend sticking with whatever language you know unless there is a sound reason to change. But...
ADA 95 is possibly the best standard language for numerical analysis but the commercial compilers are often expensive. It has similarities with the non-standard "OOP Pascal" languages like Delphi, Modula-2, Modula-3, etc... There is a freely availiable version based on the gnu-cc backend but I am not sure it has many Windows widgets (but I may well be wrong). Companies like Aonix supply full development environments presumably with masses of Windows widgets but may be expensive ($92 dollars is pretty unlikely).

yes of course you are right that in fortran 90 there exist a couple of new features like allocatables, pointers etc to use dynamic arrays. the problem is that programing becomes a much bigger effort and I am pretty sure that this slows down the computation. (sorry guys..thats just a guess, so please feel free to prove me wrong). anyway, like john said we have spent so much time on worrying about number crunching efficiency and in the meantime the computer industry doubles the speed of the hardware components. so why worry..? have a nice day

(1). I am just guessing that dynamic arrays ( which will expand and shrink as needed by the program in execution) must be very important for large un-structured mesh programs. (2). I am currently running serveral versions of a program on different workstations in different mesh sizes. (3) There is no simple solution to the first problem, that is you have to use a version of the code compiled on that machine because of differences in hardware and compiler. (4). For the second problem, that is using versions of code with different mesh sizes, I think it can be handled well by using the dynamic arrays. In this way, you don't have to compile and keep several versions of code with different mesh sizes. And, I think, it will improve productivity as well. At the same time, we don't have to worry about the problem of whether the compiled code will run on a particular workstation or not.(because of the installed RAM memory) (5). So, I think, dynamic array is useful in this case.

Hi, Computational efficiency is still main concern for CFD users dealing with large scale industrial furnaces. For example, computation of 12 dependent variables at 200 000 nodes requires at least 10 000 iterations with 9 min /iteration using a powerfull PC. People in industry desire to get the result as soon as possible but without spending more money for computers
Multigrid, multiblock or angular multiblock method are developed as a remedy for computational economy.

Re: Comparison between C/C++ and Fortran?

(1). Multi-grid is one way to improve the convergence of iterative methods. (2). Actually, there are many ways to obtained faster convergence. It depends largely on the problem you are trying to solve. And I think, it is a very good research field by itself. (3). So, I think, it is worthwhile to look into it when the problem is well-established and you also have the time to do some research. (4). In industries, time is money. To write a program quickly and easily, I would use the simplest method, like point S.O.R. or line method. Then you just let the computer to do its job for you. If it takes more than one day, then make sure that you do save the output file to disk from time to time. If it takes more than a week, then it is necessary to install UPS to avoid power outage. (5). Based on my experience, we are limited by the computer RAM memory. One Giga bytes of RAM is about the upper limit for high end workstation in the office. So, the computer time is not the most serious problem ( limitation). (6). The next problem is the network problem. If your workstation is in a network, it is likely that you will run into the network problem once a couple of week. Also, in some area, the power outage is a routine problem. (7). Once you have solved these problems, and if the project and the time allows, then one can start looking into the improved methods of getting faster convergence. (8). If you happens to be using a commercial code, and you have to turn off the multi-grid option and reduce the over-relaxation factors to a small number in order to get it running, then, there is not much you can do about it. (9). I can only say that it is a good research field to improve convergence, and the solutions are problem dependent. You really need to know your problem inside and out before you can do anything about it. (10). This is the main reason why a general CFD code is not ideal for fast design applications. It is not designed to obtain a fast solution for a specific problem. But if you are writing your code for your problem, then , as I siad before, there are many ways you can try to improve the convergence rate. In this area, I think, you are right, only if you have access to the code and have the time to write the code.

Sorry to bring this topic up again after 10 years! But I do hope to see more people could share their insights on the (parallel) efficiency issue, I mean which one is faster.
Has anything changed during these ten years?

For parallel CPU processing I think C++ is as fast as Fortran today.
If you are wiling to consider GPU processing, CUDA-C is way faster than any of the Fortran implementations.
Today it is not a question about language, but about what compiler and libraries you can use to do your computation.
