A word from Chez Bruce
Bruce Poole and Nigel Platts-Martin opened Chez Bruce in 1995. From the outset, it was their intention to serve the very best food and drink but within a relaxed, informal yet thoroughly professionally orchestrated environment.
At Chez Bruce we are not particularly into gadgets and tricks in the kitchen. Home-made charcuterie, slow cooked braises, offal, warm and cold salads, classical desserts and bread-making could be listed as specialities. We also take the cheese board very seriously indeed and it forms an integral part of the restaurant's day-to-day life.
The Directors of the restaurant are fanatical wine-lovers and are very proud of the restaurant's wine list which truly is one of the very best in the UK.

Diner Reviews
Wonderful, as always, three course
lunch. Service and atmosphere just right. Great value too."
dined on 06/03/2014
Had an amazing meal with my
husband at Chez Bruce. We have been before and were more impressed 2nd time round. All three courses were just so delicious and the red wine we had with our beef was perfect! Shall definitely be going back as soon as possible and will be ordering the same as last time! Thank you Chez Bruce!"
dined on 22/02/2014
One of the benefits of Chez Bruce,
& indeed its sister restaurants, is that they attract a high level of local clientele. As such, the atmosphere seems more convivial and relaxed than some City centre establishments who attract more corporate business. The décor is modern and light; traditional though, not avant garde. The service is excellent and there is great continuity amongst the staff. And so to the food ... the Sunday menu is, as you would expect, a little more traditional than usual. As usual, starting with dessert: there is only one choice for the serious chocoholic - moist sponge cake, swimming in dark chocolate & almonds. So a light main: the cod with truffle mash. To start: curried parsnip soup. Excellent strength & consistency."
dined on 02/03/2014
We hadn't eaten here for about 20
years, in spite of very positive memories, but were delighted to find the food quality, choice and elegant service as good as it was back then. Perfect for a celebration meal and introducing young people to fine dining - an exciting but not scary lunchtime menu choice, attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere, The wine list was a little intimidating in its range (better that than the other, I guess), but we were very well advised on a good match for personal tastes and meal selection. I am advised by my fellow diners that the creme brule achieved the same levels of excellence as 20 years ago. Go nowhere else in South London for a special meal!"
dined on 01/03/2014
We had high hopes following
various [reliable] friends recommendations but these were easily surpassed in every aspect...well worth the drive from South Yorkshire !"
dined on 02/03/2014
Just the most well run, great
food, amazing wine list and predictably fantastic dinner - given variable quality and higher prices elsewhere, this is London's #1 dining destination."
dined on 01/03/2014
Had the set lunch menu. Food was
great and good selection to choose from. Service was very good and place was not too stuffy considering it is a Michelin starred restaurant"
dined on 28/02/2014
Excellent food, very helpful staff
and overall a very enjoyable evening."
dined on 28/02/2014
Chez Bruce has been and remains my
favorite restaurant in London."
dined on 23/02/2014
We went to Chez Bruce to celebrate
a milestone birthday. Having heard excellent things about the restaurant, we were more than thrilled when the food and service surpassed all of our expectations. The staff was easily accommodated a request for gluten-free (serving some of the best gluten-free bread I have ever had). The food itself was superb. I would go back in a heartbeat."
dined on 27/02/2014
Not the best place ive been in
london by a country mile ."
dined on 25/02/2014
I was taken to Chez Bruce on my
birthday for lunch with my family. The food was delicious and their selection of cheeses is excellent."
dined on 13/07/2013
This was a birthday meal for my
wife. Everything was very good and perfectly cooked."
dined on 16/02/2014
Chez Bruce rarely disappoints.
Superb food and service. The weekday lunch is particularly good value for the quality of the food."
dined on 24/02/2014
Chez Bruce is outstanding. My
girlfriend and I go once a year as a treat and it is perfect every time. Food and service cannot be faulted. Probably my favourite restaurant."
dined on 29/11/2013
Fabulous food, wine and service! A
wonderful place to spend a Saturday evening!"
dined on 22/02/2014
We loved the food at Chez Bruce
and would definitely return as it's local and I think good value for money for a Michelin starred restaurant. I was somewhat surprised that the tables are so close together and I was very pleased no one was sat next to us or I would have felt quite trapped. Also a little disappointed with service, wine glasses went empty for too long and took a long time to order our dessert. However when we did interact with staff it was of a high standard."
dined on 22/02/2014
It was our first time at Chez
Bruce, we had already tried the sister restaurants: La Trompette and The Glasshouse, which are excellent. We weren't disappointed, the food was excellent as was the service and the ambiance."
dined on 21/02/2014
Delicious lunch - a treat at a set
price. Thoroughly recommended."
dined on 21/02/2014
Probably one of the best birthdays
I've ever had. Food fantastic, wine well recommended, service absolutely spot on and all for a very reasonable cost. Will definitely go again."
dined on 31/01/2014
Took my girlfriend here for her
birthday on the back of lots of good recommendatins, and was not disappointed. The food was exceptional, the service very friendly and professional and the ambiance very good. The food is pricey, but the 3 courses for £45 means you know what you're getting. The staff gave really good recommendations on the wine, which wasn't overly expensive for un upmarket restaurant. Will definitely be returning for special occassions in the future."
dined on 17/02/2014
As ever Chez Bruce delivers on the
food in an extraordinary way. Booked a table for Sunday lunch and asked to secure a table upstairs by the window (a tradition of ours) which they duly accomodated (after some very helpful manoeuvering on the part of the maitre d'). The menu challenges convention just enough to tempt you to try something different without scaring off the less adventourous diners. We had Ox Cheeks Rendang and Red Mullet as starters followed by Chateaubriand for main course. The starters were superb. The main course was good but made to look average compared to the starters. Dessert was an adult version of that Friday treat - the Crunchie bar. Truly indulgent and ensuring you leave swearing you won't need to have any dinner!"
dined on 16/02/2014
This was without a doubt the best
meal I've ever had, fantastic service and beautiful food."
dined on 15/02/2014
A fantastic lunch with my Mum and
Sister. The food was exceptional and good value, the sommelier very helpful in choosing our wine and the service brilliant. Will definitely be coming back again soon. Thoroughly enjoyed by all. Am now tempted to try out their sister restaurant the Glass House. Add the cheese board is exceptional, would highly recommend!"
dined on 15/02/2014
We went to Chez Bruce to celebrate
my partner's birthday. Fantastic food, faultless service - seamless from beginning to end. Lovely for special occasions"
dined on 15/02/2014
My fiancé and I had dinner here to
celebrate our engagement. We turned up maybe 15 minutes early and they did their best to find us a table right away. The food was absolutely delicious and very rich. I felt like I was eating pure butter with flavour thrown in. We asked for our desert to-go and received two of the same dessert when we had ordered two different kinds. No attention to the garnishing had been made as it said it came with clotted cream, however there was no clotted cream with our takeaway dessert. The service is very good, even if personas are a little neutral (no comment or well wishes of any kind were proffered by staff when we asked them to take a photo of us as we had gotten engaged THAT DAY) I found this to be a little odd"
dined on 13/02/2014
We've just moved to the area and
we'd heard about CB and wanted to try it as soon as we could. Safe to say we weren't disappointed. From start to finish the meal, service and overall atmosphere were fantastic. For a Wednesday night it was buzzing and friendly. The service was exceptional, friendly, attentive, knowledgeable but not in the slightest bit pushy. Thoroughly recommended, will be going back. I've heard the place described as "That cheap little eatery", well it's not the cheapest, but at £45 a head for a three course set menu for an award-winning Michelin-starred restaurant it's certainly not bad value! Oh and we got a 50% off offer for the sister restaurant The Glasshouse. All in all, thoroughly recommended."
dined on 12/02/2014
The food as always at Chez Bruce
is outstanding - there is a reason he has a Michelin Star. The shame was the staff - one in particular (who I think was the head waiter) who could not have been more brusque and condescending... bordering on the rude. Going to a restaurant (and we go to many, both high and lower end) is all about the entire experience....not just about the food. Shame."
dined on 10/02/2014
Chez Bruce once again delivered
the goods. We had an outstanding dinner at the weekend - choices aplenty to suit every taste for each course, and excellent wines that are not exorbitantly priced. Service was polite, informed and friendly as usual. A gem!"
dined on 09/02/2014
I enjoyed a Birthday celebration
with my family at this restuarant and was very happy with my selection. The staff were very friendly, the service was excellent and the restauranr was able to accomodate us even though we arrived early for our reservation. There was a wide range of options for each course on the menu and I struggled to choose between them as there were so many that looked very appealing. I was particularly impressed that some of the dishes incorporated world cuisine and were not limited to a traditionally 'Modern British' style. I would add that this restaurant is very family friendly and there were many tables with mixed age groups."
dined on 09/02/2014
Food was amazing in the Chez
bruce. Great atmosphere and really good value"
dined on 02/02/2014
Having not been to Chez Bruce for
a couple of years, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they offered three excellent courses for £45. I thought this was great value considering the quality on offer. A good selection of wines by the glass was a further bonus."
dined on 09/02/2014
Our meal at Chez Bruce was for a
special birthday and we were not disappointed. The food and service were excellent."
dined on 08/02/2014
I love Chez Bruce: it's a
guaranteed lovely evening at a good price plus it's in walking distance! However, I would say the food wasn't outstanding as it normally is. With places like The Diary nearby producing such fantastic food it needs to watch out that standards don't slip!"
dined on 19/01/2014
For us, Chez Bruce is the gem of
south London. It is always a delight to go there – we mainly book for weekday lunchtimes when there is a relaxed and but pleasantly buzzing atmosphere. The service is friendly and unpretentious, the food is always interesting and beautifully served. The chef is most accommodating to my allergy needs with is much appreciated."
dined on 07/02/2014
Plus points: Food very tasty and
waiters helpful and friendly. Negative points: Tables uncomfortably close together - meaning you can't really have an intimate / private chat! Also, I believe you're obliged to pay for 3 courses - the dishes are not individually priced. (If it is possible to pay for fewer courses, the menu shoould state it)."
dined on 08/02/2014
Had a great night out with
gorgeous food and great intimate room uostairs."
dined on 08/02/2014
Everything was pleasant about our
experience but nothing was amazing. We were seated near the kitchen out of the main room, and sometimes found it hard to attract attention of waiters, and felt a little bit out of the way. One special mention for the sommelier who recommended two delicious wines."
dined on 06/02/2014
I took my girlfriend to Chez Bruce
for her birthday and we both loved it. My only criticism is that I did mention to the staff that we don't drink alcohol but we were still offered the wine menu for the dessert wine. We were there for the food and it didn't disappoint. I'm pretty sure we will be back soon."
dined on 03/02/2014
Chez Bruce is known for its food.
The food is good but I struggled to pick something on the menu that looked really good. The service was way too slow. We had over 40 mins between courses and had to ask more than once for tea at the end the meal which came long after my husband had finished his dessert. The table was cramped and the restaurant was very loud. it was my husband's birthday so I was hoping for our Sunday lunch to be a bit more special. Sadly I feel Chez Bruce needs to change it up a bit and get quicker service."

Victoria, Hong Kong
Victoria, Hong Kong | |||||||||||
A 1915 map showing Victoria City at the bottom
Traditional Chinese | 維多利亞城/域多利 | ||||||||||
Victoria, Victoria City, or statutorily, the City of Victoria,[1] was one of the first urban settlements in Hong Kong after it became a British colony in 1842. It was initially named Queenstown but was soon known as Victoria. It is often said to be the capital of Hong Kong,[2][3] and almost all government departments still have their head offices located within its limit.
Victoria City expanded over much of what is now Central, Sheung Wan, and Wan Chai.[4] However, the city name Victoria has been eclipsed by Central in popular usage.[5] It is nevertheless retained in the names of various organisations in reference to the Victoria City, such as the Victoria City District of the Hong Kong Scout,[6] and the Victoria Junior Chamber.[7] The name Victoria District Court had been used into the 1980s,[8][9][10][11] when it was moved to the Wanchai Tower and combined with other district courts in the territory.
The city is centred in present-day Central, and named after Queen Victoria in 1843. It occupies the areas that are known in modern times as Central, Admiralty, Sheung Wan, Wan Chai, East Point, Shek Tong Tsui, the Mid-levels, the Peak, Happy Valley, Tin Hau, and Kennedy Town, on Hong Kong Island. In 1903, the Hong Kong Government erected seven boundary stones for the city, inscribed "City Boundary 1903" at Hatton Road (克頓道), Pok Fu Lam Road, Bowen Road, Old Peak Road (舊山頂道), Wong Nai Chung Road, Victoria Road/Sai Ning Street (西寧街) and Magazine Gap Road. All remain, except for the one in Magazine Gap Road, which disappeared around mid-June 2007.[12][13][14]
In 1857, the British government expanded the scope of Victoria City and divided it into four "wans" (環, jyutping: waan4, pinyin: huàn, literally rings). The four wans are Sai Wan ("West Ring" in Chinese, present-day Sai Wan, including Kennedy Town, Shek Tong Tsui, and Sai Ying Pun), Sheung Wan ("Upper Ring" in Chinese, present-day Sheung Wan), Choong Wan or Chung Wan ("Central Ring" in Chinese, present-day Central) and Ha Wan ("Lower Ring" in Chinese, present-day Wan Chai). Except "Ha Wan"; "Sai Wan", "Sheung Wan" and "Choong Wan" retain the same name in Chinese today.
The four wans are further divided into nine "yeuks" (約, jyutping: joek3, pinyin: yuē, similar to "district" or "neighbourhood"). The coverage also included parts of East Point and Happy Valley (West of Wong Nai Chung Road on the east side of the Racecourse). In 1903, boundary stones were established to mark the City's boundary and six of them are still preserved today. The stones spread from Causeway Bay to Kennedy Town.[15]
In the 1890s the capital city extended four miles west to east along the coastal strip. Buildings were made of granite and brick. Buses and the new tramway would become the main form of transportation in the area.[16]
Also called yeuks.

ImageLinks Laconic Main main index Narrative
"He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man."
Some badasses are not satisfied with just a Badass Mustache or Perma Stubble to show off their awesomeness. No, they choose to take it further. As opposed to facial hair growing above their upper lip, they won't be content until they have a full blown beard to show off. Many times, it works for them where a simple mustache would just look foolish or out of place. And when it does work, the gentleman in question is a bona fide tough guy, a man's man, a veritable buffet of manliness.
In short, it's what happens when the Badass Mustache gets cranked Up to Eleven.
In Real Life, beards fell out of style (in most places) after the invention of the safety razor. Before that, shaving had to be done with a straight razor, and the risk of cutting yourself was a much more dangerous concern. This is why most historical bearded people were around before the 20th Century. Having a long beard in battle isn't always a good thing, as an enemy can grab on it and pull the guy in reach of a sword.
Distinct from Growing the Beard, but the two can most definitely overlap. Same thing goes for Beard of Evil and Beard of Barbarism. Also see Stroke the Beard. Contrast with Beard of Sorrow, although they could overlap. Sometimes goes hand in hand with Wild Hair. Sometimes part of a Bald Black Leader Guy look.
Do not confuse with The Beard, though they aren't mutually exclusive.

Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen has made it clear he expects his group to be "feared" on the football field.
One way to do that is through punishing hits. The other is to make opposing offenses worried they could commit a turnover at any time.
"It's all about scoring defense," Allen told Broncos TV. "First and foremost, you've got to be able to take the ball away from the offense. Secondly, you've got to be great playing in the red zone. Thirdly, if you can get off the field on third down, those are the things that allow you to be a really great defense. If you can do those three things then you're going to be pretty good."
With all the planning that has been done during the offseason, Allen said he's itching to put the schemes into action.
"I think I've been antsy from the very first day," he said. "I think what we love to do as coaches and players, we want to be out on the field and playing the game of football. That's what we signed up for. That's our passion. That's what we love. I'm ready to start coaching players instead of coaching coaches."

Wily Waves: Build an Oscillating Water Column to Extract Energy from Ocean Waves
The ocean is a wondrous force of nature. It affects the weather, and provides us with food and free and renewable energy to power our lives. How can the ocean provide us with free and renewable energy? One way is to extract the energy that is in the waves. There are many kinds of power systems that can be installed to extract energy from the waves, depending on the location. In this energy and power science project, you will build and test a simple model of an oscillating water column device to create power. How many of these oscillating water columns will it take to power a compact fluorescent lightbulb? If you want the answer, read on!Objective
To build a simple and functional oscillating water column device.

It's a beautiful day and you're walking along the beach, when an ocean wave hits the shore and almost pushes you over. Just like your high-energy friend who runs over to tag you as "it," moving water also has energy. But from where does this energy, in the form of ocean waves, come? Waves are generated by disturbances, ranging from underground earthquakes to a boat moving through the water, but the wind is the most common source of waves. The wind causes ripples on the surface of the ocean, but the strength of the wind, the distance in which the wind blows, and the duration of the wind gust all determine how big the ripples will become.
Figure 1. This figure shows some of the characteristics of a wave. (Courtesy of the Office of Naval Research, 2009.) |
Waves are characterized by their wavelength and their height. Every kind of wave—whether it is a sound wave, a light wave, or an ocean wave—has a crest and a trough. The crest is the highest point of the wave and the trough is the lowest point of the wave. The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive wave crests. The height is the difference between the wave crest and the next wave trough. Another important characteristic of waves is the wave period. This is defined as the time between two consecutive crests (or troughs) as the crests (or troughs) pass a stationary point. Figure 1 depicts these characteristics of waves.
As ocean waves move forward, you might think that the water is moving forward; however, this is not the case. The water actually moves in vertical circles and there is little forward motion of the individual water particles in a wave. A wave is just forward motion of energy or momentum. Scientists gather data from the oceans—such as water temperature, wind speed, wind direction, wave height, and wave period—using ocean buoys, which are devices that float in the oceans.
How can we capture the energy associated with the waves and convert it to something we can use, like electricity? According to the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE), at any given moment, there is enough energy in the oceans' waves around the world to provide up to 2 trillion watts (W) of electricity! Since the oceans will always provide waves, wave energy is a renewable and sustainable form of energy. There are certain parts of the world that are especially rich in wave power. These include the western coasts of Scotland, Australia, South Africa and northern Canada. The northeastern and western coasts of the United States are also good locations to extract wave energy.
The U.S. DOE separates wave energy power systems into two categories: onshore systems and offshore systems. Onshore wave energy power devices include oscillating water columns, tapchans, and pendulor devices. In an oscillating water column, a partially submerged structure has an opening below the waterline to the ocean. It encloses a column of air on top of a column of water. As the column of water rises, due to incoming waves, the column of air is compressed and is forced past a turbine. This causes the turbine to rotate and generate electricity. When the wave recedes, the column of air is depressurized and air rushes past the turbine in the other direction. This causes the turbine to rotate again and generate more electricity. This is illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2. This image shows how an oscillating water column functions. (Energy Futures: MIT Energy Initiative, 2009.) |
An example of a commercially operating oscillating water column is the LIMPET (Land Installed Marine Powered Energy Transformer) system, located on the island of Islay off Scotland's west coast. Figure 3 shows a working oscillating water column. Offshore wave energy power systems are located where the depth of water is at least 40 meters (m). Examples of offshore wave energy systems are the Salter Duck and the Pelamis systems.

In this energy and power science project, you will build and test an oscillating water column device. You will build the oscillating water column from readily available parts and a computer cooling fan, then test it by submersing part of the column into a deep body of water. The fan will create a voltage (measured in volts) and a current (measured in amperes) that you will be able to detect with a multimeter when air pushes past it. Will your oscillating water column create enough energy to light a compact fluorescent lightbulb?

Building the Oscillating Water Column
- Find a location where you can easily dunk or submerse the oscillating water column into water, such as a pool, lake, or ocean.
- The water depth should be at least 8 feet.
- You should find a location at a boat slip, edge of a swimming pool, or a pier so that while you are dunking the oscillating water column, you can lean against or hold onto something.
- There shouldn't be a lot of other people wandering around while you do your experiment.
- Once you have found an acceptable location, use your tape measure to measure the distance between the boat slip, pool edge, or pier and the surface of the water. You can imagine that the length of the whole tape measure will be the length of the oscillating water column. Mark the distance down in your lab notebook. Record the distance as a minimum of 5 feet in your lab notebook, even if the actual distance is less than 5 feet. This is the minimum value required to construct a functioning oscillating water column for this science project.
- Once you've returned home, use the tape measure and mark the value that you recorded in step 2 on the ABS pipe with the rubber band. Now add 3 feet to where the first rubber band is placed. Place a second rubber band at this location. Remove the first rubber band. The purpose of this extra few feet is to give you something to hold on to while you are dunking the oscillating water column.
- Now cut the ABS pipe at the rubber band with the ABS saw. Put on your safety goggles and gloves. Your volunteer should put on a pair of goggles, too. Have your volunteer hold the pipe on the ground so that you can cut the pipe.
- Measure out a 3-in. hole in the top, flat part of the ABS cap hub. Mark the hole with the crayon and make sure that it is in the center of the cap hub. Place the cooling fan on top of the hole to make sure that the hole is about the same size as the fan. There are four screw holes in each corner of the fan case. Make a mark in the cap to match each of the corner holes in the fan case.
- Put your safety goggles back on and drill each of the four corner holes and the 3-in. hole with the drill and the appropriate drill bit.
- Your volunteer should also put back on his or her safety goggles and then help by holding the cap while you carefully drill the hole.
- Use a smaller bit like a 1/4-in bit for the four corner screw holes.
- Use a larger bit, like a 1/2-in drill bit, to make a pilot hole in the center of the 3-in hole. Then use the 1 3/8-in step bit to widen the hole. Go back to the 1/2-in bit and carefully shave off the extra material until the hole is 3 inches wide. Remember to stay within the crayon marking that you made in step 5.
- Make sure that the drilled screw holes are not too big or too small for the screws.
- Cut the gasket rubber with the scissors. Make a hole in the center where you marked with crayon, the same size as the hole in the cap hub. Also cut out the four holes to accommodate the fan's four corner screw holes. The purpose of the gasket is to make a seal between the cap and cooling fan.
- Cut off the connectors from the end of the wires of the fan with the wire strippers. Use the wire strippers and strip off ½ in. of plastic from both ends of the wires.
- Place the gasket material over the holes in the cap hub and then the fan, face-side down, on top of the gasket. Cut any excess gasket material off with the scissors. The gasket should make a good seal between the cooling fan and the cap hub. Make sure to place the fan wires in the case groove, located on the front face, and bring them back behind the fan through the hole. Once you are sure that the fan, gasket, and cap hub are aligned, attach the fan by screwing it down in each corner. Figure 4 shows what a completed fan and cap hub assembly should look like.
Figure 4. Completed fan and cap hub assembly. (Device made by Natalya Dreszer, 2010.) |
- Now glue the fan and cap hub assembly together with the pipe that you cut in step 4, as follows. Read the directions for the ABS cement. Spread the cement around the outside top end of pipe and the inside of the fan and cap hub assembly. Note: Make sure that you don't get any cement on the fan. Attach the two pieces together and let it harden for the recommended amount of time. The oscillating water column is now complete. Figure 5 depicts a completed version of a test oscillating water column.
Figure 5. A completed version of the test oscillating water column. (Device made by Natalya Dreszer, 2010.) |
Testing the Oscillating Water Column
- Prepare the oscillating water column for testing. Wrap a piece of red electrical tape around the oscillating water column, 2 ft. from the open end. Wrap a piece of yellow electrical tape 4 ft. from the open end. Wrap a piece of green electrical tape 5 ft. from the open end of the tube. Wrap a piece of white electrical tape 6 ft. from the open end of the tube.
- Open the multimeter and read the included instructions. You must get familiar with the multimeter and learn how to measure voltage and current before you begin testing. If you need help using a multimeter, check out the Science Buddies Multimeter Tutorial.
- Clip each of the wires from the fan to the leads of the multimeter with the alligator clip cables. Your volunteer will hold onto the multimeter and monitor the readings while you dunk the oscillating water column in the following steps.
- Go to the location by the water that you found earlier. Submerge the open end of the oscillating water column 2 ft. into the water (to the red tape mark on the tube). Turn on the multimeter and monitor the voltage.
- Then practice quickly dunking the water column in and out 2 ft. from the red tape on the tube to the yellow tape. When you feel confident doing this, start recording the peak voltage readings from the multimeter in your lab notebook. Quickly dunk the tube from the red tape to the yellow tape 12 times and with each dunk, record the peak voltage reading in your lab notebook. Dunking the water column 2 ft. represents a 2-ft. wave.
- Repeat step 4, but this time, record the peak current readings in your lab notebook.
- Repeat steps 4–6, dunking the water column 3 ft., moving from the red tape to the green tape. Dunking the water column 3 ft. represents a 3-ft. wave. Record all data in your lab notebook.
- Repeat steps 4–6, dunking the water column 4 ft., moving from the red tape to the white tape. Dunking the water column 4 ft. represents a 4-ft. wave. Record all data in your lab notebook.
Analyzing Your Data
- Now plot your data on graph paper. First plot the voltage data for each wave height. Label the x-axis Wave. You will have 12 data points for waves, since you dunked the water column 12 times. Label the y-axis Volts. You can plot the data for all three wave heights on the same plot.
- Now plot the current data for each wave height. Label the x-axis Wave. You will have 12 data points for waves since you dunked the water column 12 times. Label the y-axis Amperes. You can plot the data for all three wave heights on the same plot. Note: Keep in mind that your current measurements will not be in the full ampere range, but more likely in the milliampere range and you will have to account for this in your plot.
- Now average the peak voltage data and the peak current data for each wave height. For each set of data, remove the highest and lowest reading before averaging to prevent skewing the data too high or low. Once you have calculated the average voltage and current for each wave height, calculate the average peak power. Equation 1 shows how to calculate the average peak power that the water column harnessed.
Equation 1:
- Plot the average power that the water column harnessed at each wave height. Label the x-axis Wave Height and the y-axis Watts.
- Review the Rathjen and Village of Paw Paw references in the Bibliography, above, to understand what power and energy are. How much energy does your oscillating water column harness in a day? How much energy does a typical lightbulb use in a day? How many oscillating water columns would you have to build to use a typical lightbulb for a day?

Matt Richardson's comment,

I also appreciate the sentiment here, but as a geography teacher in high school I also find that students are missing very basic information about the world as it is right now. For example, many of my students can't identify more than about three countries in Africa, and I've had students in the past who could not even find the U.S. on a map. Now I force them to take the dreaded 'blank map' quizzes of the world. Its distressing, but it needs to be done. Interestingly, many of my lower level students like these types of tests because there are online games that teach them the locations in a fun way, and also because it is a very literal task. The ones who struggle with higher level material can at least succeed at this if they study.

Yes, as Seth and several commenters have said, we need both. And too often my students don't seem to know the basic facts/history of a particular situation. You must know where you are coming from if you ever want to get to somewhere new.

One slight difference in dress - hijab or cap - and a world of difference in how she is treated. What makes us "be" part of a group? A hijab clearly marks a woman is Muslim and for some people that is scary, while others welcome you.

In this I saw that when choosing Russia to look at in relation to its relationship with the United States throughtout the years it has both increased and decreased. For example, In 2008 the percentage of relationship with the US and Russia was at 29% then in 2009 it decreased to 27% and then fianlly increasing in 2013 to 31%. As you can see the US and Russia are partners in life today to some extend and have evolved from time to time( past to present). Delete the scoop?

Could not put this down! The video loops about the Yin sisters and Gavin George are mesmerizing. The IQ ranges and other psychometric data about these enormously talented youngsters completely obviate whatever we think we know about whatever it is we think we mean when use the word 'intelligence'! Read this and be humbled!--Lou Excerpt: "....More striking is that every single prodigy scored off the charts in working memory — better than 99 percent of the general population. In fact, six out of the eight prodigies scored at the 99.9th percentile! Working memory isn't solely the ability to memorize a string of digits. That's short-term memory. Instead, working memory involves the ability to hold information in memory while being able to manipulate and process other incoming information. On the Stanford-Binet IQ test, working memory is measured in both the verbal and non-verbal domains and includes tasks such as processing sentences while having to remember the last word of each sentence, and recalling the location of blocks and numbers in the correct order in which they were presented. There have been many descriptions of the phenomenal working memory of prodigies, including a historical description of Mozart that involves his superior ability to memorize musical pieces and manipulate scores in his head. (See here for a demonstration of the exceptional memory of a physics prodigy.) The researchers also found that as a group, the prodigies showed higher levels of autistic traits compared with a control group consisting of people weren't prodigies (but the prodigies scored only slightly higher than those with high-functioning autism, or Asperger's)....." |

NCRC - WWU Winning Still |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
The game was played in front of another large crowd on campus despite the wet and cold conditions. The Vikings took the lead at the four minute mark on a try by Kevin Kinloch and never looked back. Matt Tiscornia had an excellent game, scoring three tries, while Matt Jenson added two more. Joe Cote and Quinton Wilms also scored for the Vikings while Nick Salimano kicked two conversions. With the win, WWU wins the west division of the NCRC and will host the first round of playoffs on April 6 and 7. WWU will play the winner of the Saturday match on the Sunday. The winner of that contest will play April 13 for the Championship. Eric Populus scored both EWU tries and kicked a conversion, moving his league-leading try total to 15 and points total to 105. One game remains in the regular season, and it's a big one. Washington State plays Idaho in Pullman, Wash. this coming Saturday. If Idaho wins, they take the NCRC East. Idaho can also clinch with a tie as long as they score four tries to get the bonus point. A non-bonus tie would keep Eastern Washington in 1st, as would an Idaho loss. |

GOWANDA - The Eden Raiders rushed for 430 yards en route to a 48-0 thumping of the Gowanda Panthers (0-3) on Friday in non-league high school football.
Eden was led by Joe Trippy's 108 yards rushing on 11 carries and Alex Smythe's 83 yards on 10 carries as the visitors jumped out to a 27-0 halftime lead.
Gowanda's lone bright spot was the running of Brennan Geiger who rushed for 63 yards on 18 carries. The Panthers were plagued by two lost fumbles and seven penalties for 75 yards.
