The Thai stock market has moved higher now in five straight sessions, climbing almost 65 points or 6 percent in the process. The Stock Exchange of Thailand finished just above the 1,160-point plateau, and now traders are anticipating additional support when the market kicks off trade on Wednesday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is cautiously optimistic, with many of the regional bourses remaining oversold and at attractive valuations. There also remains some positive sentiment regarding the Spanish bailout, although caution is starting to take hold. Further limiting the upside, investors will be cautious ahead of this weekend's critical vote in Greece. On the U.S. economic front, the Labor Department reported a drop in both import and export prices. The European and U.S. markets finished higher and the Asian bourses are expected to open in similar fashion.
The SET finished slightly higher on Tuesday following mixed performances from the financial shares and the energy producers.
For the day, the index added 4.86 points or 0.42 percent to finish at the daily high of 1,162.93 after trading as low as 1,145.48. Volume was 5.035 billion shares worth 29.116 billion baht. There were 290 gainers and 168 decliners, with 170 stocks finishing unchanged.
Among the actives, energy giant PTT was up 1.56 percent, while PTT Exploration and Production jumped 2.38 percent, PTT Global Chemicals shed 0.42 percent, Bangkok Bank lost 0.82 percent, Siam Commercial Bank collected 0.72 percent and Kasikornbank fell 0.96 percent.
The lead from Wall Street is positive as showed a strong move back to the upside on Tuesday, after moving sharply lower in the previous session. The markets benefited from bargain hunting following Monday's sell-off, as well as a pullback by Spanish bond yields. The bourses remain at relatively low levels after plummeting in May.
Traders also continued to digest news of a bailout for Spain, which has requested 100 billion euros from a euro area bailout fund in order to shore up its banking system. The Spanish ten-year bond yield hit a euro-era high during the day, but a pullback going into the close also contributed to the buying interest on Wall Street.
On the U.S. economic front, the Labor Department reported a 1.0 percent drop in import prices and a 0.4 percent fall in export prices in May. The drop in import prices, which compared to estimates for a 1.1 percent decrease, was largely due to a 4.2 percent decrease in prices for fuel imports.
Among individual stocks, shares of Texas Instruments (TXN) rose by 2.1 percent after the chip maker narrowed its second quarter guidance. Juniper Networks (JNPR) also ended the day higher after announcing a new stock buyback program to purchase up to $1 billion worth of its stock.
Meanwhile, shares of FactSet Research Systems (FDS) tumbled 12.3 percent after the financial information company reported better than expected third quarter earnings but provided disappointing fourth quarter guidance.
The major averages saw continued strength going into the close, ending the day near their highs for the session as the Dow jumped 162.57 points or 1.3 percent to finish at 12,573.80, while the NASDAQ advanced 33.34 points or 1.2 percent to end at 2,843.07 and the S&P 500 surged up 15.25 points or 1.2 percent at 1,324.18.

REANNZ Network Service Enhancements
Our engineers have recently completed a thorough review of our network architecture. As a result, we've identified actions we can take to increase network resiliency, provide greater flexibility in services, and implement the hardware / software upgrades necessary to support the community's expansion and traffic growth. Over the next few weeks, we will be putting these plans into action.
In particular, we expect the following changes to occur:
- The rescheduled addition of extra 10Gb/s capacity to the Auckland switch
- Software upgrades across all network equipment
- Replacement of core routers for enhanced stability, functionality, vendor support and reduced operational costs overheads
- Architectural changes to an MPLS-based core infrastructure for increased resiliency to failures and better traffic engineering
- Introduction of a new link between Avalon and Christchurch for improved resiliency across Cook Strait
Some of these upgrades will cause short outages or disrupt traffic flowing across the network. While these interruptions can not be avoided, we will work with you to mitigate the impact of these outages as much as possible. So that you can plan accordingly, REANNZ will provide specific outage notifications once the exact dates and impacts of each change are finalised, we publish this information via our "noc" mailing list, on our website and on the REANNZ Event calendar.
We are excited by the enhanced level of service these changes will provide for members, and we appreciate your understanding while these improvements are made. If you have any comments or concerns, please contact us at email@example.com.

More Pipes
Here's another good use of piping -- as a curtain rod, with burlap curtains. The extra long curtain rod -- across the entire window wall -- gives it more impact (and lets you mount it "straight on").

That's definitely taking advantage of the uses of pipes, Sara. But what type of material was it made of? Was it galvanized or brass? Well, if it is brass, then it is definitely made to give your house that added decoration it needs. On the other hand, if it is galvanized, then expect the pipes to have a longer lifespan.

| Can The Blind When Astral Projecting See?
I haven't tried astral projecting myself. It is quite fascinating though. Most of what I know on the topic is from either this board or from Erin's blog. My question, is if blind or vision impaired people when they astral project can see? I ask this because Erin says when she astral projected the last time she was kind of flying around the house and looking at her kids asleep. So, are our "5 senses" that we are taught about in school all awake during astral projecting no matter the state that our physical body may be in? |

They can see if the astral body does not have a mimic-physical-body attitude. Unfortunately in most cases the astral body does just that. If you astral project when your material body is say 65 years of age, usually the astral body will look like the physical one.The astral body adapts to and mimics the physical one. One important detail you left out was to state whether the person was blind from birth. If the person was not blind from birth then it is more likely that person will see through the astral eyes. But if the person was blind from birth, their use of the astral eyes might not be possible since the astral body itself might be using a blind profile for one reason or the other, and thus because of that the physical body mimicked that when the embryo was being created. |

Food campaign news
Food speculation resources
"It is deeply alarming that the greatest proportion of activity in the futures markets no longer involves those in the supply chain but is, instead, taken up by speculators. Food commodities are too important to be played about with by day traders and speculators"

Since we launched the campaign on food speculation in July 2010, we've produced and collected a range of resources on the issue. Here are some of the best.

The SS11 Collection to Covet: Elie Saab
By The Clothes Whisperer
October 08, 2010
For his SS11 collection, Elie Saab paid homage to the Seventies "Icons of the Night," Bianca, Diane, and Lauren. The aesthetic was one of ultra luxe, as a collection of soft, gorgeous clothes walked the runway, radiated cascading elegance and eternal youth. Unlike many of his Parisian peers, Saab eschewed the use of eye-popping jewel tones (save for one, sumptuous coral) and let pastels do the talking. The color palette perhaps reminiscent of a Polaroid that had faded over the years, conjured up memories of a time where glitz, glamour, and the jet-set weren't about the flash, cash, and all-access they are now. Liquid metallic dresses and wide-leg jumpsuits in golden and delicate periwinkles evoked the exuberance of an evening in Bahia, ensembles that were not only easy-to-wear for a variety of body types, but timelessly elegant in their casual, yet statuesque silhouettes. There was one print, a soft abstract chiffon dress in peaches and periwinkles, channeling the ethereal bohemian who has become this season's go-to inspiration girl. Yet for all this softness, the collection oozed a sort of classic femininity modernized by strong accessories. The jewelry was piled on: stacked charms, bracelets, and cuffs snaking up models' arms. Footwear consisted of color coordinated towering suede sandals and little rectangular clutches in nude-colored suede or olive-green crocodile were studded with graphic metal clasps which caught the flashes of light from the photographers' cameras. The bags for daytime, structured 70′s box purses, were bang on trend for SS11 and sure to be a strong selling point. Saab's forte, eveningwear, did not disappoint, and an all-black clad Dita Von Teese sitting in the front row visibly perked when the collection segued from nip-waisted tea dresses and other daytime delights into an array of plunging necklines, gray-tinted sequins worked into a crocodile motif and long, flowing delicately sequined peach gowns. —Kristin Knox, The Clothes Whisperer

Two important trends related to population dynamics and the environment are presently colliding to shape the sustainability of rural livelihoods in many poor nations. First, HIV/AIDS continues to dramatically shape mortality patterns, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Second, many regions are experiencing environmental degradation owing to numerous factors including social inequality and intense natural resource dependence.
Natural ecosystems support human livelihoods and economies in numerous ways. These ecosystem services include carbon storage by forests, water regulation and purification by terrestrial systems, and crop pollination by wild bees. Recent syntheses, such as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and TEEB, have brought widespread attention to this powerful and intuitive concept.
Tree-ring samples collected near the Snake River headwaters were augmented with pre-existing tree-ring chronologies to create a 415-year reconstruction of upper Snake River streamflow, extending the short instrumental record and providing the first description of multicentury water supply variability in this river. Results indicate that the region's early 21st century drought is severe even in the context of long-term climatic variability, and that the instrumental record is representative of low-flow individual years.
Beginning in the eighteenth century, settlers along the Lower Mississippi River used various kinds of technologies to contain the river's flows and protect the riparian land. These efforts accelerated in the nineteenth century, once the federal government became involved. Local levee districts worked with the federal government to maintain the river's depth and heighten levees. However, the devastation caused by the 1927 flood discredited dependence on levees, and Congress charged the U.S.
Rising ocean temperatures have negatively impacted the health of coral reefs and have led to higher rates of coral mortality. Despite this somber outlook, coral thermal stress response is highly variable, and this has fueled significant interest in discovering where the most thermally resilient corals reside to determine the factors that influence their susceptibility.

This article appears to be written like an advertisement. (June 2013) |
METAXA (Greek: Μεταξά) is a Greek Brown spirit created by Spyros Metaxa in 1888. It is a blend of wine distillates, Muscat wines and a secret bouquet of rose petals and Mediterranean herbs. It is exported to over 65 countries and was the first liquor consumed in space.[1]
Contents |
METAXA Creation[edit]
Metaxa exceptional smoothness comes from a double distillation of several different wines (coming mainly from sun-dried Savatiano, Sultana and Rhoditis grapes). The resulting distillates are kept in cellars, in limousine, French oak barrels. French barrels are considered more desirable than those made in North America since French Oak has smaller pores than its American counterpart. This slows the transfer of flavour between the barrel and the liquor contained within, resulting in a more subtle and refined end product. Some of the distillates are moved in large barrels of 3 cubic metre volume to mature further. These are then used for the main body of the blend. The maturation period can be anywhere from three (the Three Stars) to 30 years (the Private Reserve), or the AEN much more aromatic and complex.
In the second part of the process, which happens in parallel with the first, wines from the Aegean Islands of Samos, Limnos and Patras are maturing in used metaxa barrels. It gains a deep caramel colour with rich aromas, characteristic of moschatto wines. These includes aromas of dried fruits, lavender, white roses and hints of various spices. The resulting flavour is rich and sweet.
The third part of the process is a closely guarded secret; and only a few know the process and recipe. A mixture of various spices and distilled water is prepared. Rose petals, spices and botanicals are added to the mix. The final product has a very complex and aromatic character consisting in aromas of roses, pepper, bay leaf, cinnamon and nutmeg. This mixture is allowed to develop its flavour for at least six months. It is then chilled at -6°C for 48 hours,[2] and filtered.
These three blends are mixed at the final blending stage in such a way that the quality, taste, color and aromas of this unique creation are kept as constant as possible. This involves the correction of the color, the balancing of the alcohol levels.
METAXA Range[edit]
METAXA Stars Range: composed of 3 Stars, 5 Stars, 7 Stars, 12 Stars. The number of stars represents the number of years the blend has matured in cask. The main difference between the 3 Stars and the 5 Stars is that the latter is noticeably drier, making the alcohol more pronounced. The 7 Stars and the 12 Stars are more flavoursome and complex. In Twelve Stars the taste is more complex: oak barrels in which the brandy matured is very noticeable. The 12 Stars version is now distributed internationally.
Each METAXA style has a tasting tips! METAXA 5 Stars is usually prepared in long drinks, cocktails. Best mixers are the Tonic Water, the Pomegranate Juice, the Ginger Beer. METAXA Suntonic cocktail, Sunshine and Mykonos Mojito are the three emblematic cocktails you can ask for everywhere. METAXA 7 Stars is consumed neat or on ice. METAXA 12 Stars is best presented neat or on a single rock.
METAXA Reserve Range: with METAXA Private Reserve & AEN METAXA. Metaxa Private Reserve is one of the oldest member of the Metaxa family. Each year a single batch is created with the best wine distillates and muscat wines of the moment. Only 5,000 numbered decanters of METAXA Private Reserve are on the market containing distillates aged for 30 years from Spyros Metaxa's family barrels. Metaxa AEN is a limited edition of 1888 decanters launched in 2008 for the 120 years of the House.
The Specialities: composed of Grande Fine and Ouzo by METAXA, and Grand Olympian.
Special Edition: the AEN[edit]
In 2008, the House of Metaxa launched a unique and limited edition, the AEN METAXA, celebrating 120 years of the House history. For this occasion, and for the first time in METAXA's History, 1888 crystal decanters were filled solely with the precious liquid of Cask No.1 of the METAXA cellars. The Cask No.1, also known as "Spyros' cask" among the workers of the METAXA cellars, is the oldest among the many thousands of barrels of the House of Metaxa. It is the first oak limousin cask that Spyros Metaxa filled in with his eau de vie back in the 19th century. The Cask No.1 has spent more than eighty years blending and maturing its content and that's why the name AEN was given to this reserve. As AEN in ancient Greek means forever it symbolizes the eternal rejuvenation and continual blending process in Cask No. 1. AEN METAXA is the most aged product ever to be released by METAXA. It was packaged in Crystal de Sèvres decanters with a gold painted stopper and the retail prices easily exceeded the $1,000 reference price. Only 1888 (1888 was the year the House of Metaxa was founded) decanters of AEN METAXA were produced and sold internationally.
History of METAXA[edit]
The House of Metaxa was founded by a Greek merchant and entrepreneur: Spyros Metaxa, born in the island of Euboia.[3] He created the first Greek brandy and was involved in the foundation of the first distillation facility in 1888, a little over 50 years after the Greek War of Independence. The business was soon expanded with new factories in Istanbul and Odessa. In 1900 the first exports to the United States took place and the drink became known as "the flying brandy".[1]
Following Spyros Metaxa's death, his sons carried on his work. METAXA is the only Greek industry that survived both World Wars. In 1968 a new factory was built in Kifissia, Athens.
The label shows a Salamina Warrior(Salamina fighter), a figure of an Ancient Greek trireme that was carved on a coin of that period, found during the excavation of the first factory in Piraeus in 1888.
The House of Metaxa has won several gold medals in international spirit competitions, showcased in many of its bottles. In 1989 the company was bought by the British drinks group Grand Metropolitan (now called Diageo) and was later sold to the Remy Cointreau group.[4]
In 2013,Metaxa re visited the Mount Lycabettus creating the METAXA Rise, a small journey to reach the top of the hill and have one of the most breath-taking view in the World.

Vauxhall South West encourages families to Explore England
By LaurenBluck | Friday, March 22, 2013, 10:35
Local Vauxhall retailer, Vauxhall South West, is encouraging families in Falmouth & Truro to explore all that is great about England this Easter, after research by the British manufacturer reveals that people are feeling more proud to be British than ever.
And with the school holidays just around the corner, the dealership in Newton Abbott is keen to share its top tips to help keep children entertained whilst travelling in the car this spring.
Vauxhall's 'Explore England' campaign
Following the events of 2012, a study by Vauxhall indicates that three quarters of people are feeling prouder to be British*.
To coincide with this finding, and to celebrate the fact that Vauxhall is proud to be a great British car manufacturer, the retailer is launching a campaign to encourage local families to explore what this great country has to offer during the Easter school holidays.
A spokesperson for Riders Garage, which owns the dealership, said: "Vauxhall's 'Explore England' campaign is a great way to encourage families to spend time together this Easter exploring not only their region but the country as a whole.
"Whether it's discovering days out, ferrying the family far and wide or taking on the challenge to be a tourist in their own town, we want to inspire families to get out and about in England!"
Keeping kids entertained
With cars full of kids traveling the length and breadth of England this Easter, it won't be long before drivers hear the dreaded phrase: "Are we nearly there yet?"
Fortunately, Vauxhall South West is on hand to help families get the most out of their adventures by suggesting ways in which kids can be kept entertained when travelling.
Continues: "Many of us at the dealership have first-hand experience when it comes to finding ways to break the boredom for young travellers on long journeys.
"One sure-fire way to engage kids in the world passing by their window is to play car games as a family, such as I Spy, the Car Colour game and the Alphabet game. Being well prepared and having a collection of colouring books, puzzles paper and pens on hand will also help to keep passengers occupied, as well as remembering to pack those much-loved toys and teddies!"
"For fans of in-car technology, a kids' DVD or video game is another great way to entertain back-seat travellers, in addition to portable tablets and hand-held consoles. Parents could give children a disposable camera so they can take pictures of interesting sights on their journey, too!"
Other top tips for keeping kids happy in the car include:
· Listening to music
· Singing nursery rhymes
· Reading stories aloud and listening to audio books
· Giving them a map to follow the route
· Having a supply of healthy drinks and snacks available
· Making scheduled stops to help break up the journey
· Travelling at times when children are more prone to sleeping
· Ensuring young passengers are comfy and have plenty of room
Affordable adventures
Whatever the journey motorists take this Easter, those looking for a new car can discover a wealth of family-friendly Vauxhall vehicles at Vauxhall South West.
From the compact and multi-purpose Vauxhall Meriva, which offers fantastic flexibility, relaxing comfort and excellent efficiency, to the clever-thinking and sharply-styled compact seven-seater Zafira with impressive safety features and the similarly spacious and dynamic premium seven-seater Zafira Tourer, there's an option to suit all lifestyles.
What's more, there are options to suit every family's budget too, thanks to Vauxhall's innovative zero percent APR Flexible Finance scheme, which makes exploring England in a brand new model even easier.
Flexible Finance gives motorists the ability to purchase a new Vauxhall car for a monthly payment that fits in with their personal budget. With zero per cent APR Representative, no minimum deposit and a payment term varying between 24 to 60 months, Flexible Finance makes it easy for motorists to buy their chosen vehicle at a cost that suits them.
This means that motorists could, for example, take to the road in a Meriva Exclusiv 1.4 16v VVT (100ps) for just £189 a month for 57 months, with a £5,107 customer deposit.
And to give added peace of mind, all new Vauxhall cars comes with a warranty which could now last a lifetime, so customers can be confident that they are getting the best possible aftercare and service too.
Available to the first owner of all new Vauxhall cars, the warranty is valid for the lifetime of the vehicle up to a maximum of 100,000 miles.
To find out more about Vauxhall's range of vehicles, please visit Vauxhall South West or Riders Garage at, Falmouth Yacht Marina, North Parade, Falmouth, Cornwall TR11 2TF. Alternatively, call 0843 320 6370 or go online to www.vauxhallsouthwest.com.uk.

Toshiba joins all-in-one PC fray
The iMac effect?
Toshiba has launched its first all in one PC, an unusual move for the company more readily associated with laptop computers. Laptop tech is becoming increasingly common in domestic PCs and it seems that Toshiba couldn't pass this opportunity by any longer.
Described as an all-purpose entertainment hub, the DX1215 features a 21.5in touchscreen with full 1080p HD video support. Special attention has been paid to the audio components with Onkyo stereo speakers 'professionally tuned' by signal processing experts Waves.
How much thought has gone into this sonic surgery remains to be seen, as details are sketchy at present, but this Tosh's audio gets treated to Waves MaxxAudio to improve bass response, enhance dialogue and bolster the overall output.
The DX1215 will be offered with Intel Core i5 or Core-i7 Sandy Bridge CPUs, a 1TB hard drive, DVD writer, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports. A TV tuner is also an option. Toshiba is also making a noise about its sleep and music feature that enables the speakers on the DX1215 to be used, even when the PC is off.
Currently, the DX1215 will only be available in the US market from July, 2011 for $930. This could well be a market tester to see how it shapes up against HP's Touchsmart and the long shadow of Apple's iMac. ®
I love the copy cat syndrome. News alert, everybody copies from each other. Unless Apple's recently announced 'iCloud' is a first? Face Time ? iChat? ...
Apple doesn't have touch capability on OSX, when it's introduced in Lion, I trust you'll be scoffing that they are also copying?
Written from my MacBook Pro. I bought into the laptop, not the church. :p
Vertical touchscreens?
That'll be comfortable to use for at least 3 minutes.
It'll also be interesting to see whether they've made the same mistake that Sony did with their all-in-ones, and specified a MB which can't take enough RAM. On the Sony ones you bought the machine with 512MB and it could handle a maximum of 1GB, which meant that it was slow in 2006 and awful by the time XP SP3 came out.
Also - 4 USB? That'll be one for the replacement keyboard and mouse for when the manufacturer's one packs in, one for the printer/scanner combo, one for the backup hard drive, one for the ipod/phone, one for the memory stick, one for the....oh wait.
Lousy Intel Graphics
Save your money and wait for a Llano based system that will be a much better all rounder.

Living in Portugal
Buying Property in Portugal
There are 13 types of snake indigenous to the Iberian peninsula, however if you avoid their natural habitats when you are in Portugal you are unlikely to encounter them. Snakes tend to like damp, cool places during the summer months where they can keep out of the heat of the sun. However first thing on a morning you can glimpse some warming their bodies on the warmth of the roads.
Venomous, but not usually enough to kill a human but bad enough to inflict a good deal of pain. It usually inhabits dry, stony areas heavily populated by lizards such as piles of stones on the edges of fields or near ruined buildings. when hunting it will occasionally rear up and look around, making it resemble the cobra. If it feels threatened it hisses loudly and attacks with the mouth closed. One of its distinguishing features is in fact the prominent ridge above its eyes. It can grow quite large (up to two metres) and is blue with a white underbelly.
Derives its scientific and common name from the markings of its young, which in addition to the pair of dorsal stripes running down the back have dark bars running across their backs. It inhabits coastal regions and can usually be found in sunny areas, stony slopes, open deciduous woods, vineyards. Grows to 1.60m. Juveniles have distinctive ladder pattern, of which the "rungs" fade to become lateral lines when adult. A constrictor. No fangs.
The Viperine snake is aquatic and is found near ponds, rivers and mountain streams. it is not found above 1,400m. It is an extremely good swimmer and can hold its breathe for up to 15 minutes.
Under 60 cm. Has distinct nose horn. Relatively stout with triangular head. Wavy or zig-zag dorsal stripe with darker edge. Quite irascible, but bite not considered serious. (The adder, or common viper found in the UK and northern Iberia is more dangerous than this one of the South).
Up to 65cm, but usually around 45cm. Pallid grey or brown with small dark markings forming bars or streaks. Active at dusk and night. In ruins and old walls during the day - under stones etc. Slow, except when handled. Bites, but fangs at back of mouth and small size prevents effective use on humans.
50cm to 80cm. Grayish/ brownish/ pinkish with dark bars. Not active by day. Rarely bites. No fangs.
Grows to usually 1.2m, but can reach 2m. A snake of damp places. Hisses and strikes with mouth closed. No fangs.
Known as the Cobra-do-Ferradura in Portugal. A shy snake though it is not unknown for them to be found in the open, close to human habitats on warm evenings.
The Horseshoe Whip snake can grown up to 1.5 metres in length, however does not possess fangs and is considered non-dangerous.
The colours of a Horseshoe Whip snake are brighter in
young snakes varying between yellow, off white, olive, grey and in some cases marked with large black or brown spots uniformly placed along the dorsal line with smaller alternating spots along it's flanks. In adults the paler areas within the pattern are much finer giving an overall darker appearance. The belly is pale in shades of peach, yellow, orange or red with dark marks openly dispersed near the head and more dense near the tail. The name stems from a shape on the head which looks like a horse shoe with the points facing back.
Grows normally to 1.5m. Fairly slender. Bold pattern of dark edged blotches. Can be found near human habitat and buildings. No fangs.
Western Whip (Coluber viridiflavus)
Iberian Viper (Vipera seoanei)

Fill time for a pressurised system |

Fill time for a pressurised system
Hi everyone
I have a problem whereby I need to calculate the time to fill and then deflate a catheter balloon. This consists of a hand pump connected to a long tube which then widens out to the balloon vessel. I need to reach a certain pressure in the balloon. The balloon is already expanded and it is assumed no further expansion of the material will occur. I know the volumetric flow rate (Q) from the hand pump. The length (L) of the tube is 1400mm. I have calculated the pressure drop across the tube (delP). How to I determine how long it will take to fill both the tube and the balloon from vacuum to a given pressure and then how long to pull a vacuum on the system? Any help appreciated. I previously used Pressure = mass*Gas Constant*Temperature/Volume. I did this at intervals until the pressure in the vessel equaled the pressure required, giving me the time required. However I found that this did not match my experiment. (The calculated times were much greater than the actual) (I posted this earlier in the wrong the wrong forum, sorry) |
May30-12, 08:10 PM | #2 |
Hi sph99, welcome to the board.
I would neglect any pressure drop through the tube for this since the time it takes for gas to travel the length of the 1400 mm tube is going to be negligible. |
May31-12, 02:39 AM | #3 |
Q_Goest, thanks for your reply. I should have pointed out that this balloon is filled using water or saline and not air. Am I correct in saying that I cannot then use the ideal gas laws?
I have looked at Bernoulli but I dont know how to apply this when one end of the system is closed. Also it does not take into account the viscosity of the fluid. |
May31-12, 06:37 AM | #4 |
Fill time for a pressurised system
Ok, if it's filled with a liquid, the ideal gas equation doesn't apply. Just take your two volumes and calculate the mass needed. The only thing you need is the liquid's density. You said you already have the pump flow rate so you don't need to analyze pressure drop or anything else, so there's no need for Bernoulli either.
May31-12, 06:56 AM | #5 |
that will only work for atmospheric pressure. I want to determine the time to reach a higher pressure (600kPa). how do I find mass at a certain pressure?
May31-12, 07:18 AM | #6 |
You are trying to pressurize a catheter to 90 psi?
May31-12, 08:35 AM | #7 |
Yes, 6 atm or 90 psi is a fairly standard inflation pressure for coronary catheter balloons.
May31-12, 11:26 AM | #8 |
Does the catheter stretch at 600kPa? I suspect it does. I wouldn't worry about a difference in saline density. That's not going to be measurable. But I suspect the catheter stretches, in which case it would be easiest to measure the increase in volume.
May31-12, 11:35 AM | #9 |
No, the balloon is moulded into shape before use and will not stretch at 600 kPa
May31-12, 02:40 PM | #10 |
So you know the volume of the catheter and tube at 600 kPa then?
Is there anything else you're confused about? |
May31-12, 03:17 PM | #11 |
I also need to work out deflation time but that's just the same thing in reverse. I have to also work out the inflation time at 1800kPa. The balloon will stretch in this case. How would I go about that? It is a safety check that we must do. Thanks again |
May31-12, 08:06 PM | #12 |
Jun5-12, 03:39 PM | #13 |
Thanks Q_Goest, but my calculations are not agreeing with my experiments. The calcs are give me less than a second, the experiment giving me 5 seconds. I am happy that the flow rate is accurate. I think this is due to the long length of very small diameter tube. The length of the tube is 160mm but its diameter is less than 1mm.
Have you any idea what I need to introduce to my calculations to allow for this? |

Strawberries are the best choice for me because I don't like raspberries or blackberries.. I will definitely make this over and over this summer. Peaches or Nectarines might be interesting to try too. I guess experimenting with whatever fruit people like best is the way to find out what works best for them.

Everything was great about our stay! Almost felt like being on a deserted island! Staff were awesome and the activities were great too, snorkelling especially. Loads of animals to see, snakes, frogs, snakes, crocs, lizards. In the day time we saw red macaws flying over head. Hammock on the balcony which over looks the sea was amazing too.

Operators' brands are slipping from view as web companies and over-the-top providers cement themselves in users' consciences
Read more: Oracle Oracle Communications OSS BSS OSS/BSS CRM
Operators' brands are slipping from view as web companies and over-the-top providers cement themselves in users' consciences. However, operators have many of the attributes needed to move from today's transactional relationships to truly personalised interactions that create customer advocacy and ultimately profit. Sponsored by Oracle Gordon Rawling, Oracle Communications: Operators have been trying to solve legitimate problems but haven't tried to address the problems customers are experiencing in a holistic way Operators across the world are moving towards delivering personalised customer experiences. The thinking behind this is to reconnect their brands with their users, deliver services tailored to individual needs rather than segmented for groups of users and ultimately to deliver experiences that have improved to the extent that users become advocates of their brands. The benefits of turning customers into advocates are obvious. A customer who purchases $10,000 of services but influences nobody else to purchase services has a lifetime value of $10,000, while a customer who purchases $1,000 of services but influences $100,000 worth of purchases by other users has a lifetime value of $101,000. Operators today keep this data — if they even have systems in place that track it — in disparate, disjointed silos and therefore are challenged in understanding true customer lifetime value. For example, for the customer who spends $10,000, it may cost $5,000 to set them up, $1,500 to acquire them as a customer and $3,950 in customer support costs. The apparently high value customer actually results in a $450 loss. However, the lower headline value customer who spends $1,000 may incur set up costs of only $40, acquisition cost of $80 and support costs of $150, resulting in a profit of $730 for the operator. Customer-centric brand experience — from transactional interactions to customer advocacy Operators have been moving along a developmental path that is seeing them transform from the traditional telecoms industry approach of selling a service bundle to a near anonymous customer. They have tried to create loyalty for frequent customers but initiatives have had only limited success — as Rajeev Tankha, senior director of solution marketing at Oracle Communications, explains: "They have failed in this for many reasons," he says. "Their loyalty rewards have been unappealing and mostly oriented around trying to sell more to the customer. For example, what money do you have to spend before you have enough air miles for a free ticket? "A lot of operator businesses are all trying to achieve personalisation and ultimately advocacy," he adds. "But personalisation is not about making you buy more, it's about making you an advocate. The challenge for operators is how to turn their customers into advocates from where they are today. People walk into Apple stores in their own free time, not to buy products, but because they like it. Who goes to their operator's retail store just because they like it?" That requires a giant shift in mindset for many operators who have run their customer relationships on purely transactional bases. To move along the path in the figure, Oracle advises a three stage approach. The first step is to unify the experience and demonstrate clear understanding of the customer and their behaviour. Then the operator can move to personalise their customers' journey by providing a consistent, personalised, engaging customer experience. Finally, and this point is more recognisable to traditional operators, they can optimise the execution thereby improved services to customers at lower cost. Complex operating environments The challenge for operators isn't just in the customer facing areas of their operations. The fragmented nature of their operating environments means that even if they have the latest CRM front ends that integrate with the multiple customer care channels to provide a consistent user experience, the back office continues to be constructed in silos and the data from each disparate system isn't necessarily exposed to the touchpoint a user selects. Typically, operators' architectures are composed of multiple CRM and billing systems along with a confusing web of other systems that comprise policy management, fulfilment and provisioning, business intelligence, networks and other IT applications. Add to that the multiple sales and customer contact channels, the many OSS stacks per technology, the legacy of largely customised integration and the duplication of applications or siloes caused by regulation, mergers and acquisitions and the history of the operator involved and scale of the challenge rapidly starts to spiral out of control. Yet, integrating those to provide near real-time customer profiling is essential if operators are to get to the goal of customer advocacy. Gordon Rawling, director of EMEA marketing at Oracle Communications, expands on the challenge: "Operators have been trying to solve legitimate problems but haven't tried to address the problems customers are experiencing in a holistic way," he says. "It is arguable that if they take a step by step, piecemeal approach they won't get where they want to in time." Operators that take a step by step approach are leaving themselves open to recreating the mistakes of the past in their new architectures. The list of negative attributes such fragmentation creates limits operators to their current generic offer creation, impersonal and unfocused interactions and rigid business models that make it expensive to serve and support customers. Rawling emphasises that cost, while always important, shouldn't be the only consideration on the journey to encouraging advocacy. "It you want to get to advocacy, it's not just about reducing cost," he says. "It's not just about upgrading your web portal either, it's about unifying the experience, personalising the customer's journey and optimising your execution — in addition to the areas in between them — as opposed to just addressing the individual issues in isolation. All of those piece parts made sense individually but they were deployed for a different world and now we need to produce something fit for purpose. The purpose being that for personalisation the operator needs to understand who each customer is, who their peers are and who they influence." Reducing the gaps in current processes will help operators to strengthen their transformation strategy. Oracle Communications has identified a series of process gaps that need to be closed. Today, product launch can take anything from three months to an entire year with the roadmap prepared the year before. Order fulfilment remains only partially automated in postpaid and corporate environments. For example, 10% of orders are implemented manually in postpaid and 95 % in the business segment. Customer experience is poor in operator shops and online with limited self service capability and transactions in shops take between 30 and 45 minutes to complete and involve around 10 systems. Further to those challenges, customer information is handed at least three times in a retention transaction and customer data can be scattered across three databases in retail and across five databases in corporate. This is compounded by limited prospect management and channels harmonisation. Oracle's customer centric brand experience solution has been developed to enable operators to maximise customer value through unified customer lifecycle management, personalised interactions and to deliver extreme business flexibility to meet ever-changing demands. It encompasses the three key capabilities Rawling describes above: unifying the experience, personalising the journey and optimising the execution. The solution addresses three key metrics: customer lifetime value, customer acquisition and retention and the cost to serve the customer. Only by enabling operators to collect, hold and make use of complete and trusted customer information will they be able to make customised offers — although the advocacy environment isn't about interactions that are exclusively sales-oriented — along with personalised and focused interactions. It will take time both to get the systems deployed and for the shift in operator attitudes to take place but the ultimate goal of moving customers along the development curve to becoming advocates will see operator brands again become significant and deliver operators with the potential to compete in brand value with the current leaders in the digital value chain. Operators will be able to deliver sustainable differentiation by taking their strong network foundation and the superior customer insight that resides within their systems and using that to deliver truly personalised experiences for their customers. Unifying the experience, personalising the journey and optimising the experience on top of that network foundation will be the keys to unlocking the benefits of customer advocacy. It will be a virtuous circle in which they will be able to add to the reservoir of insight that they hold continuously as their networks and services are utilised and the value and differentiation they can provide using will increase commensurately.

"If it's not my phone, it's my Ipad," he said.
For him, it's mostly games, browsing the web and texting, but since he lives in Cedar Park, he's got a new way to connect to the city.
The town's new app called "CP Connect" lets him know if there are any out of the ordinary occurrences going on in the Austin suburb.
"We've long been looking for a way to make it even easier for our citizens to report problems and to have them fixed fast," Mayor Matt Powell said.
A free download for IPhone, Android and Windows phones, CP Connect makes it easy to get the city's attention. It's not for emergencies or police reports, but for everyday city issues like potholes, code violations, clogged storm drains and animal control.
Residents can send in pictures of problems n the area. Using the phone's GPS, it finds the exact location and instantly notifies city staff. City leaders hope the application will allow them to give better customer service and more efficiently schedule work crews."
"It goes straight into city staff and you get it fixed fast," Powell said. "We like to call it, 'Snap Send and Mend.'"
Users can also check out other people's reports and vote for them to raise the priority.

It started last month when workers at a Paso Robles wastewater treatment plant noticed what appeared to be a giant rodent roaming the facility.
The creature eventually swam toward the Salinas River and disappeared from sight, but not before worker Nick Kamp had taken a few photos. He and a co-worker called the California Department of Fish and Game to report what they had seen. Responding wardens used the pictures to confirm that the animal was in fact a capybara — an adult they believe weighs 100 to 120 pounds.

According to the Illinois Tax Code, every corporation receiving income in Illinois is subject to tax on net income. The tax rate is 9.5%, 7% of which is the income tax and 2.5% of which is the property replacement tax (there is no tax on personal property in Illinois).
Illinois corporations are also subject to a franchise tax. The tax is based on the share of a corporation's paid-in capital in the state of Illinois. The initial franchise tax is imposed at the beginning of the corporation's first year doing business in the state. The initial franchise tax rate is 0.15% of the share of paid-in capital in Illinois. The franchise tax must be no less than $25.00 and no more than $2 million. After a corporation's first year, the franchise tax is due annually at a rate of .10%, again with a minimum of $25.00 and a maximum of $2 million.
