EXIF is a data chunk embedded inside a JPEG or TIFF. It is used by nearly every
digital camera manufacter out there presently.
The data is usually a whole lot of parameters from the camera
(fstop/focallength/exposurelength etc.) Also there is a thumbnail
created by most cameras embedded inside the file (your camera uses this
for the thumbnail directly), and there are a few applications that use
it for the thumbnail as well (Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro on windows, not
certain about linux).
I'm told that WindowsXP has native support for reading EXIF data inside
explorer, and shows the information in the status bar.
Here are some example images of mine, with a small subset of the available
info displayed below them.

December 19, 2014
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory says job creation will be his top priority if elected.
In a new television ad released Thursday, McCrory says state government needs to give North Carolinians more opportunities.
He said that can be done by drilling for oil off the North Carolina coast and lowering the state's high school dropout rate. He also calls for lowering taxes.
The 30-second TV ad is running statewide.
Last week, Democratic candidate Beverly Perdue released an advertisement claiming McCrory is a threat to the middle class because he supports private school vouchers. The TV spot also says Perdue is a "strong supporter of public schools."

Spring is here and we have been noticing lighter looks. One noticeable trend has been the variety of orange lipstick shades we've spotted on the red carpet. Emma Watson showed up at the 'Noah' premiere in NYC on March 26 rocking this trend and looked amazing. See some of our favorite orange lipsticks below!
Emma Watson, 23, showed up to the premiere of her film Noah in NYC on March 26 looking gorgeous. The actress made a bold statement with her makeup, allowing her lipstick to add the perfect pop of color. Find out some of our favorite orange lipsticks below and find out how you can get Emma's look!
Emma Watson's Lipstick At 'Noah' Premiere — NYC Beauty
For Emma's look, she kept her face makeup to a minimal. This is a brilliant way to draw attention to other areas of the face.
With neutral eyeshadow, a peach tone blush and lightly contoured face, this look was exactly what was needed to pull off a bold lip.
Emma Watson Rocks The Orange Lipstick Trend
With spring finally here, a lot of new makeup trends are popping up and orange seems to be the pop of color everyone wants. To get this look, there are several products you can try. For the daring divas out there, a bright, bold orange lip like Emma is worth wearing. For this, you can try MAC Neon Orange lipstick.
For beauty on a budget, Milani Sweet Nectar lipstick is an amazing alternative. For the less daring darlings, feel free to try Sonia Kashuk Moisture Luxe Tinted Lip Balm in Coral. This allows you to re-create a toned down orange lip color while still sporting this awesome trend.
We have a bunch of amazing orange lipsticks and lip balms in the gallery — check them out!
So will you be following this trend, HollywoodLifers? Have you already purchased your orange lipstick? If so, let us know which products you love below. – Jenn Baez

Most other reverse lookups force you to pay for a name.
Unfortunately for cheaters who use anagram solvers, the tool would only provide
them with lists of words they're able to build and not necessarily inform
them where to place it. You would key in "70" inside the little box under where it says "value" in cheat engine.

coun•ter•claimˈkaʊn tərˌkleɪm; ˌkaʊn tərˈkleɪm(n.; v.)
a claim made to offset another claim.
a civil action brought by the defendant against the plaintiff.
Category: Law

To file a counterclaim.
Webster Dictionary
a claim made by a person as an offset to a claim made on him
In civil procedure, a party's claim is a counterclaim if the defending party has previously made a claim against the claiming party. Examples of counterclaims include: ⁕After a bank has sued a customer for an unpaid debt, the customer counterclaims against the bank for fraud in procuring the debt. The court will sort out the different claims in one lawsuit. ⁕Two cars collide. After one person sues for damage to her car and personal injuries, the defendant counterclaims for similar property damage and personal injury claims. Counterclaims did not exist at common law; they are an invention of modern civil procedure.

- Convex hulls of polyominoes (2007)
- In this article we prove a conjecture of Bezdek, Brass, and Harborth concerning the maximum volume of the convex hull of any facet-to-facet connected system of $n$ unit hypercubes in $mathbb{R}^d$. For $d=2$ we enumerate the extremal polyominoes and determine the set of possible areas of the convex hull for each $n$.
- Zwei auf einen Streich: Optimierte dynamische Einsatzplanung für Gelbe Engel und Lastenaufzüge (2007)
- Wir modellieren zwei verschiedene dynamische Einsatzplanungsprobleme: die dynamische Einsatzplanung Gelber Engel beim ADAC und die Steuerung von Lastenaufzügen in einem Versandlager der Herlitz PBS AG. Wir benutzen eine Reoptimierungspolitik, die die Steuerung des Systems mit Hilfe der Lösung von statischen Schnappschussproblemen durchführt. Für die auftretenden Schnappschussprobleme vergleichen wir zwei Modellierungsansätze (Flussmodell versus Tourenmodell), von denen nur einer echtzeittauglich ist. Das Verfahren zur dynamischen Einsatzplanung Gelber Engel ist beim ADAC in Betrieb.
- Nilmanifolds: complex structures, geometry and deformations (2007)
- We consider nilmanifolds with left-invariant complex structure and prove that in the generic case small deformations of such structures are again left-invariant. The relation between nilmanifolds and iterated principal holomorphic torus bundles is clarified and we give criteria under which deformations in the large are again of such type. As an application we obtain a fairly complete picture in dimension three. We show by example that the Frölicher spectral sequence of a nilmanifold may be arbitrarily non degenerate thereby answering a question mentioned in the book of Griffith and Harris. On our way we prove Serre Duality for Lie algebra Dolbeault cohomology and classify complex structures on nilpotent Lie algebras with small commutator subalgebra. MS Subject classification: 32G05; (32G08, 17B30, 53C30, 32C10)
- Enumeration of integral tetrahedra (2007)
- We determine the numbers of integral tetrahedra with diameter d up to isomorphism for all d<=1000 via computer enumeration. Therefore we give an algorithm that enumerates the integral tetrahedra with diameter at most d in O(d^5) time and an algorithm that can check the canonicity of a given integral tetrahedron with at most 6 integer comparisons. For the number of isomorphism classes of integral 4x4 matrices with diameter d fulfilling the triangle inequalities we derive an exact formula.
- Integral point sets over finite fields (2007)
- We consider point sets in the affine plane GF(q)^2 where each Euclidean distance of two points is an element of GF(q). These sets are called integral point sets and were originally defined in m-dimensional Euclidean spaces. We determine their maximal cardinality I(GF(q),2). For arbitrary commutative rings R instead of GF(q) or for further restrictions as no three points on a line or no four points on a circle we give partial results. Additionally we study the geometric structure of the examples with maximum cardinality.
- Inclusion-maximal integral point sets over finite fields (2007)
- We consider integral point sets in affine planes over finite fields. Here an integral point set is a set of points in $GF(q)^2$ where the formally defined Euclidean distance of every pair of points is an element of $GF(q)$. From another point of view we consider point sets over $GF(q)^2$ with few and prescribed directions. So this is related to Redeis work. Another motivation comes from the field of ordinary integral point sets in Euclidean spaces. In this article we study the spectrum of integral point sets over $GF(q)^2$ which are maximal with respect to inclusion. We give some theoretical results, constructions, conjectures, and some numerical data.
- Lotsize optimization leading to a p-median problem with cardinalities (2007)
- We consider the problem of approximating the branch and size dependent demand of a fashion discounter with many branches by a distributing process being based on the branch delivery restricted to integral multiples of lots from a small set of available lot-types. We propose a formalized model which arises from a practical cooperation with an industry partner. Besides an integer linear programming formulation and a primal heuristic for this problem we also consider a more abstract version which we relate to several other classical optimization problems like the p-median problem, the facility location problem or the matching problem.
- On the minimum diameter of plane integral point sets (2007)
- Since ancient times mathematicians consider geometrical objects with integral side lengths. We consider plane integral point sets P, which are sets of n points in the plane with pairwise integral distances where not all the points are collinear. The largest occurring distance is called its diameter. Naturally the question about the minimum possible diameter d(2,n) of a plane integral point set consisting of n points arises. We give some new exact values and describe state-of-the-art algorithms to obtain them. It turns out that plane integral point sets with minimum diameter consist very likely of subsets with many collinear points. For this special kind of point sets we prove a lower bound for d(2,n) achieving the known upper bound n^{c_2loglog n} up to a constant in the exponent.
- There are integral heptagons, no three points on a line, no four on a circle (2007)
- We give two configurations of seven points in the plane, no three points in a line, no four points on a circle with pairwise integral distances. This answers a famous question of Paul Erdös.
- Integral point sets over Z_n^m (2007)
- There are many papers studying properties of point sets in the Euclidean space or on integer grids, with pairwise integral or rational distances. In this article we consider the distances or coordinates of the point sets which instead of being integers are elements of Z_n, and study the properties of the resulting combinatorial structures.

Re-Envisioning the Chicago River
Adopting Comprehensive Regional Solutions to the Invasive Species Crisis
In response to a public health emergency more than 100 years ago, engineers reversed the Chicago River and built the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to carry wastewater away from Lake Michigan, the city's source of drinking water. The canal also provides a shipping link between the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes, opening navigation not only to recreational boats and commercial barges, but also to invasive species, and it diverts massive amounts of water from Lake Michigan. The unfolding Asian carp crisis reveals more than just the challenges faced by local, state, and federal agencies in stopping invasive species from entering the Great Lakes. It also exposes critical infrastructure deficiencies in the region's wastewater, stormwater, and transportation systems.

Young Irish dancers on the air alongside hoarders, Honey Boo Boo
BY LORI RACKL TV firstname.lastname@example.com October 8, 2012 7:00PM
Marina Flatley-Griffin of New Lenox is seen on the on performance stage on the documentary, "The Big Jig," on TLC. TLC Photo
9 to 10 p.m. Tuesday
on TLC
Updated: November 10, 2012 6:15AM
You might get a kick out of this: TLC, the network that takes viewers into the lives of the Amish, hoarders, conjoined twins and Honey Boo Boo, is taking on Irish dance.
An hourlong documentary called "The Big Jig" bows at 9 p.m. Tuesday on the basic cable net. It features five girls — two of them from the Chicago suburbs — as they train and compete in the 2012 World Irish Dancing Championships, held earlier this year in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
"Quite frankly, I'm just shocked the world would want to watch Irish dancing," said Elmhurst resident Sheila Wright with a laugh.
Her 11-year-old daughter, Grace, took up the leg-centric dance style when she was 5. The regional champ takes lessons at Mullane Healy Godley, an Irish dance academy with studios in Elmhurst and Edison Park.
"If I keep getting more awards, I'm probably going to need a bigger room," Grace says in the show.
Her instructor is "Scary Gary" Healy, who coaches another local girl in the TLC program: Marina Flatley-Griffin, 12, of New Lenox. Marina is the niece of Michael "Lord of the Dance" Flatley. No pressure there.
A recurring theme in "The Big Jig" is the ferocious dedication the girls must have — the eye of the Celtic tiger, if you will — to compete at this level.
One dancer, an 11-year-old from Rochester, N.Y., models her workouts after Rocky Balboa, right down to drinking raw eggs. Others spend countless hours in their garages and studios, being told that kick wasn't high enough, do it again.
Grace, who competed in her first world championships this year, sometimes practices five to six times a week. She's had to take it easy lately. Her foot is in a cast.
"I fractured my growth plate," the sixth-grader said in a phone interview during a birthday party. "I was on my friend's trampoline doing an Irish dance move and fell down on it funny."
The feet take quite a pounding in Irish dance, where powerful kicks and steps are as much a hallmark as the girls' elaborate, pricey costumes and tightly curled ringlets of hair.
"The Big Jig" illustrates how punishing the dance can be on the body and how nerve-wracking it is to compete. One girl loses her lunch on stage. Another scene — shown in slow motion — depicts a young dancer painfully rolling her ankle during rehearsal.
We see hints of stage-mom behavior from some of the mothers, who aren't shy about driving their daughters to push harder or shelling out a few thousand dollars on costumes.
Sheila Wright said that's not her style.
"I consider us a very normal family," she said. "This is just something Grace has found that she loves, and she's really, really good at it."
Wright was confident that producers wouldn't — couldn't — make her out to be a stage momster, and they didn't. But she admits to having some initial trepidation about Irish dance being portrayed in a child pageant-like fashion. She felt better knowing that the board that governs the world championships worked closely with "The Big Jig" producers, Sirens Media, the same company behind Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New Jersey."
"The Irish dancing community is very well respected," Wright said. "It does not want to portray Irish dancing in a 'Toddlers & Tiaras' light. To them, this is a sport. These girls are athletes. They want to protect that."

Posing for the paparazzi during a seal tour in Chatham Harbor. Photo by Maggie Kulbokas.
Editor's note: The following excerpt is published with the permission of Boston Magazine. The original article appeared in Boston Magazine's July issue.
A few summers ago, after my family and I had moved to Cape Cod from the Washington, DC, area, we were introduced to an unexpected treat: seal watching. Plopped on our chairs at Nauset Beach, a short drive from our home, in Orleans, we watched groups of cute gray seals frolicking offshore. Other beachgoers joined us in this happy pastime. To behold a seal's face when it bobs up out of the water—those large, imploring eyes; that splay of whiskers; the dark, glistening nose—is to have the feeling you're looking at a lovable Labrador retriever, with flippers. Seal watching is so popular around here, in fact, that special tours are offered out of Chatham. "Seeing these adorable mammals in their natural habitat," one tour operator promises, "will make your family vacation one to remember."
Not everybody loves the local seals, though. "Wolves that went into the water" is what my neighbor Bill Amaru calls them. Amaru is a fisherman who operates his boat out of Chatham harbor and has been working the Cape waters for a living since the early 1970s, when he was just out of college. He began noticing seals in the late 1980s, and then watched as their numbers gradually increased over the years—until the mid-2000s, when the population exploded. These days, he says, he can see between 4,000 and 5,000 seals on a single fishing trip in the area around Monomoy Island, south of Chatham. The National Marine Fisheries Service very crudely estimates that nearly 16,000 seals now inhabit the Cape and Islands, and one local marine biologist, Betty Lentell, who works with the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association, projects that the population will grow at a rate of about 20 percent annually for the foreseeable future.
That's a lot of seals.

Bees, hornets and wasps can cause considerable damage to properties. As the wasp nest gets larger, the queen's workers increase the nesting area by excavating the surrounding materials. This can lead to the wasps eating through insulation board, walls, ceilings and floors causing them to enter occupied rooms.

Did you know?
A bee uses its sting only defensively, where as a wasp uses its sting to subdue prey and as a defense. This is why the bee stinger detaches from its body, while the wasp's stinger does not. So each wasp can sting multiple times without risk to itself.

State Calculations - page 2
My facility was recently retagged for incorrect diabetic flowsheets. Nurses either forgot to put the correct insulin given or forgot to notified MD if bg was outside of parameters. During the state's revisit, the surveyor... Read More
- 0May 8, '11 by txdonThanks for trying to help me understand this. This tag was generated by a complaint, it was not due to a regular survey. The complaint visit revealed holes in MARS and TARS which was tagged differently. The surveyor also found multiple discrepancies with the diabetic flowsheets. MD's were not called, wrong dosages were given, etc. It was a G tag. When he came back for the revisit he took 6 flowsheets and found 3 with problems, so we were recited. Our window has closed but they can't do the survey until we are cleared. We have submitted ALL of our diabetic flowsheets to show compliance on all but 2 others, but I am thinking that since we weren't cited on medication error tag it won't matter. The quality of care tag just has to show an error not that the error is less than 5%. Also, if a facility is recited what happens to medicare reimbursement? Thanks again for helping me understand this.
- 0May 9, '11 by CapeCodMermaid, RNNot to muddy the water, but...did the surveyor show there was actual harm done to a resident? I had a complaint survey last year...long story short, a resident had a low blood sugar on an out trip but suffered no harm. Surveyor said she'd give me a G tag unless the doc. could say that despite all of our efforts, the woman's blood sugars were brittle. I was all set to argue no harm but she backed off once the doc told her all the ins and outs. How can you get a G tag if there is no harm?
- 0May 10, '11 by debRN0417Quote from CapeCodMermaidThat's what I am wondering. How did the surveyor prove there was harm? Did any residents have to be hospitalized or something? You are right CCM- you cannot get a "G" unless there is proven harm.Not to muddy the water, but...did the surveyor show there was actual harm done to a resident? I had a complaint survey last year...long story short, a resident had a low blood sugar on an out trip but suffered no harm. Surveyor said she'd give me a G tag unless the doc. could say that despite all of our efforts, the woman's blood sugars were brittle. I was all set to argue no harm but she backed off once the doc told her all the ins and outs. How can you get a G tag if there is no harm?
If you were recited then there will be another revisit. Your complaint survey restarted the cycle.
The first "G" is usually a CMP.
The second re-cite (first revisit) can mean no reimbursement- not always though. It may be another CMP. The second revisit, if you do not clear will certainly stop medicare reimbursement. A thrid revisit that does not clear results in termination from the program.
Hopefully you will clear and it will be okay, however I am confused at what was the initial harm that started this whole thing.
- 0May 10, '11 by txdonI miss spoke, we received an E tag for 309. The G tag was in the category of special needs. This was the revisit for that we got recited on 3 out of the 7 original tags. We are waiting for the 527. It is due by Thursday of this week. What happens if it's late? Any thoughts on clearing on the 309 tag since we provided facilitywide flowsheets?
- 0The 2567 is the statement of deficiencies that the state provides the facility that lists the deficiencies and the findings of the survey team. It will let you know exactly what was cited and what you have to address. You have 10 days to respond to the 2567 from the date that you receive the written report which is usually within 10 working days from the date of exit (end of the survey).
If you were recited on 3 of the original 7 deficiencies, then you will have to submit your plan of correction on the 2567 for each of those three deficiencies. When you do your plan of correction, you must be sure that you have credible evidence that you have corrected the deficiency which could be the flowheets that you are talking about....HOWEVER- you have to have a plan of action to ensure that the deficient practice will not reoccurr. That means inservicing, auditing, or whatever it is that your facility will need to do to make sure that if/when the survey team comes back that they do not find a repeat deficiency again. (I hope I am not telling you stuff that you already know or is redundant for you but I just want to make sure that I am giving you information that is helpful and I am not sure how much info you need regarding the whole survey process).
So if you cleared your "G" tag then you MAY not get another survey. It is up to the state agency whether or not they will come back. They CAN but MAY not. In my state we usually do not do a revisit if the facility has cleared the harm tag and just got recited with a "D" in other areas. The supervisor at the state agency may do what they call a "desk review" and look at your plan of corrrection and may request your credible evidence to prove that you have responded to the citation and done what you need to do in order to correct the deficiency as well as have a plan in place to prevent it from happening again and for continued monitoring of the issues.
I hope this is helpful information. Let me know if there is other information I can help you with or if I didn't anwer exactly what you needed to know. I'll do my best to help you.
Hopefully your 2567 will be on time, however if it is late for some reason then the clock starts ticking for you on Thursday for your 10 CALENDAR days (not working days) so just make sure that you are ready to respond to the report as soon as it arrives and get the POC back to the state agency within the 10 day time frame (which I believe would start for you on Thursday if I understand you corrrectly). Try to set your allegation of compliance date (AOC) date as soon AS POSSIBLE. If AT ALL POSSIBLE do not set the date at the 45 days because should you get another complaint or an issue within that time frame then you will definitely get a revisit and it could keep the door open as far as your cycle and cause greater problems in terms of trying to clear. BUT make sure that whatever date you set (whether is is before the 45 days or on the 45th day) that you will have everything done and that you are sure that if there would be a revisit after the date you set that you have all your credible evidence, that you are monitoring and have all the auditing evidence, monitoring evidence, inservicing evidence, or whatever
it i that you said you were going to do to correct the problem and prevent recurrence and that there are no further issues.
- 0Jut to clarify something about the AOC date: for example: If you set your AOC date at June 30th- that is the date you are saying that you have everything corrected and that there are no further issues with the deficient practice, that it no longer exists. During the time from now until June 30th- your cycle is still open. That means you are saying you will not be in compliance until June 30th. If you get a complaint or something before your AOC date (Jun 30th) then you are still in an open cycle and you will get a revisit becuse you are till out of compliance. After June 30th, you are considered back in compliance. Any complaint or anything that comes in after that date is a new cycle and they cannot go back to the original deficiencies that you got.
That is why it is important to try and not wait the 45 days if at all posible so that you can close your cycle as soon as possible and be considered back in compliance.
I hope this make sense.
- 0May 11, '11 by txdonThanks for clarifying the POC process. We did get our 2567 back and were recited on two tags, one recite G, 1 new G tag with 4 D tags. The problem is once we're cited in a specific area, everything in that area is under scrutiny. The surveyor isn't looking just at what was cited but other things within that category. These citations occurred prior to my employment there. This is all new to me. Corporate has flocked to our facility. This is very serious. At any rate, I do have another question - I have done countless inservices on handwashing, disposal of soiled linens, and not wearing gloves in the hall. However, CNA and nurses are still being seen wearing gloves in the hall and not complying. Their excuse is, "I know, I was in a hurry and forgot." Any suggestions on what I need to do? It's so frustrating because I spent a lot of time educating but they chose not to apply what they know their supposed to do. I need suggestions.
- 0Progressive discipline. Start out with the verbal warning. Document the date and time of the verbal warning. Then written warning. Then disciplinary action. Make sure you have documented that you have formally inserviced all staff on the proper procedure and that you have a sign in sheet that every staff member has signed in and was inserviced. Place a copy of the inservice documentation in each employees file with the documentation that they attended the inservice and are aware of the correct procedure. Make sure each employee understands the ramifications of their not following proper procedure. Spell it out with exactly what the expectations are and what will occur if the proper procedure is not followed. Enlist the aid of others (managers, supervisors, charge personnel) to help you monitor staff behaviors. You are only one person and cannot be expected to be everywhere at all times. They need to understand that not only is it a violation of the proper procedure, but it also places a risk on the well being of the residents (and staff) not to mention their continued employment. Handwashing and use of gloves is basic nursing and something that should be second nature. They should not have to think about how to do the right thing It should be natural. At this point with the revisits and re-citations that your facility has had, your facility is loosing a great deal of money which also hurts the residents and will end up also affecting staff in terms of future raises and benefits that the facility will not be able to provide employees.
Infection Control is a BIG deal. It risks the staff health as well. I wish there was a magic spell that you could use to make everybody always do the right thing, but we all know there is not. Unfortunately it may take an actual write up with the risk of termination to make some people get a grip and think about what they are doing.
Cover yourself. Make sure you have documented everything you have done to correct the problem and if the employees do not do the right thing and they have been educated, then that is their choice and they have a clear knowledge and understanding of what is at stake. As long as you have done (and documented) everything, you should not be held responsible for others "memory lapses". BUT make sure administration and corporate know the challenge you are facing and enlist their help in monitoring.
- 0Jan 21, '12 by CathRNIf you are looking for the "tags", go to www.cms.gov and download appendix PP, which is the tags themselves, appendix P,which is the survey process and appendix Q, which is the Immediate Jeopardy appendix. Nothing the surveyors do are secret, it out there on the web to be found.
Also, in Texas, you will need to go to the DADS website and download the "Texas Food Establishment Regulations" because the DONS and nurses are responsible for nutrition for the residents as well.
I hope this helps

A home that is nestled up against a river bank in England might not expect rising water. But after being built in 2008 by John Pardey Architects, it somehow experienced some elevated levels and the entrance to the Hind House became accessible by trodding through the unavoidable flooded water heights.
Beyond the water discrepancies, the home is otherwise sleek and contemporary with a driveway below. A narrow metal stairway carries residents up to the timber encased home, and different wings of the home continue on to separate the public and private areas of the architecture. Each room offers uncanny window views, and there is even a gorgeous home section that has floor to ceiling glazed panels included. Constructed from steel frame and timber infill, there are all kinds of elements to help this residence from the river challenges it might face.

I want know more about friction
February 23, 2011
I want know more about friction. Please send friction documents.
Aswani - India
Feel free to go through all our lessons on friction. Also look at the Reader Feedback in the Friction lessons.
What will happen if friction is not there?
August 13, 2010
What will happen if friction is not there? Explain briefly.
Aninda - India
Others have asked this question and are seen in Answers to Readers Questions.
You could not walk or pick up a pencil without friction, because everything would slip. You could not even turn over in bed, because friction is needed to do that.
Friction is needed to keep things from sliding or slipping.
Why take small steps on ice?
November 16, 2005
While walking on ice, one should take small steps to avoid slipping. why is it so?
bns - India
When you take a large step, you are putting more force on the rear foot, increasing the slipping. Also, the angle that the shoe is on the ice is larger, which will reduce the normal force and thus reduce the friction.
What happens to friction energy?
November 15, 2005
What happens to the energy that is used to overcome friction, where does it go?
The energy turns from mechanical energy to heat energy. Just rub something vigorously and you will feel it get warmer.
Sport where friction is important
October 26, 2005
select a sporting activity where the case that starting friction is greater than sliding friction can be advantageous to this case.
henry - Ghana
If you try to run, you want the friction to be great enough to move you forward without sliding. Any sport where there is running requires the static friction (starting) to be greater than the kinetic friction (sliding).
Coefficient of friction of mild steel on rubber
August 30, 2005
Hi there!
I'm desperately looking for the kinetic coefficient of friction value of mild steel on rubber (sponge rubber as used in automotive door seals)
Pls assist me or give me some broad guidelines.
Best regards
Desai - South Africa
I'm sorry, but we haven't been able to find that information. You might try to determine the value experimentally.
How can friction be helpful?
February 27, 2005
how can friction be helpful and how can it make things difficult? Please give me two reasons. I need it as soon as possible for my science test on tuesday. Thanks. And also, can you tell me how friction was involved. Because on my experiment, I used a block of wood and rubber band and let the spring scale move on the sandpaper. I don't know why it takes more force on the sandpaper than the other surfaces like waxpaper. Thanks.
Queenie - Canada
You couldn't walk without friction, because you'd slip like on ice. But friction make it hard to slide things.
Rough surfaces have a higher coefficient of friction and smooth surfaces.
Wants to increase friction in Sitar
January 16, 2005
I have a musical instrument (Sitar) whose wooden pegs become smooth due to constant use and do not stay when turned but slide back. What subtance can I use to increase friction?
Thank you
Dr Mony
Subramony - Malaysia
If you sanded the pegs, they would have more friction again. But unfortunately, they might also be slightly too small to stay in place.
Wrapping each with a piece of masking tape might work. But, you may end up having to replace the pegs. I would think this is a common problem with the Sitar, so I wonder if local music stores would have a better solution?
Best wishes on getting it to work properly.
Coefficient of static and dynamic friction
November 22, 2004
.what is the diffrence between the coefficient of static and dynamic friction.
describe the term, limiting coefficient of static or dynamic friction.
hassan - UK
The coefficient of friction is the number that affects the resistive force of friction. Dynamic friction is the same as kinetic friction. It is the resistive force on a moving, sliding object.
How do we overcome friction?
May 17, 2004
By what methods do we overcome friction?
Thanks for your kindest help.
sibel - Canada
Friction is a resistance to a force pushing an object. The force overcomes that resistance. You can reduce the friction by means of a lubrication, like grease or oil.

Chaya is used as a food, in soups and medicine. The white milky sap that comes with a bruise or break to the stem is applied to pimples and warts. Chaya can be made into a tea and used as a daily beverage to improve eyesight and prevent cataracts. Chaya cures skin blemishes. Ross-Ibarra and Molina-Cruz (2002) propose that the efficacy of the sap for skin problems derives from the proteolysis (protein-digesting) enzymes in the stem, and that it is useful for dry skin (if applied directly to the skin), hardening teeth, disinfecting, preventing anomia and arthritis, and regulating the menstrual cycle. It also serves as an anti-inflammatory for veins and haemorrhoids, and can be used to treat a scorpion sting. For a stomach-ache make a tea of chaya leaves
Research conducted by the Social Security Institute in Guadalajara on a group of over 100 individuals working in the health field found that chaya was among the most commonly used herbal medicine.
Biomedical Use
Medicinally, chaya is used to treat arteriosclerosis and weight problems, since it helps reduce carbohydrate cravings. Chaya stimulates the liver, allowing for better digestion and can also be used as a laxative. It is good for blood circulation, and for the eyes and vision if taken in an infusion for 15 days. It helps prevent cataracts due to its high content of Vitamin C. In water or tea, chaya is effective as a diuretic
Study conducted by the Mexican National Institute of Nutrition and Texas A&M University confirmed the following healing properties of Chaya. "
- Ø Back pain, kidney pain, kidney stones:
- Ø Blood purifier and circulation, heart disease:
- Ø Cholesterol
- Ø Boils, warts, pimples or other skin conditions: -

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

A report on R&D notes that Apple isn't a leading spender but ranks high by executives in innovation
The Council of Canadian Academies' panel on the state of industrial R&D in this country concluded that building a strong foundation of IR&D "is an essential part of developing that capacity for the future, thereby ensuing that Canadians firms can successfully compete in a global economy increasingly centered on knowledge and technology."
IR&D "is a cornerstone of long-term sustainable growth."
But R&D doesn't necessarily translate into innovation, the report adds.
In a sidebar it notes a 2010 international survey found executives called Apple Inc. the most innovative firm in the world. Yet Apple ranked only 81st in total R&D spending among corporations.
Google and Microsoft spent more than three times as much of their revenues on R&D.
In fact, of the top 10 ranked most innovative firms, only three were in the list of top 10 R&D spenders.
"Apple's successful record of innovation was clearly not a function of R&D spending alone," says the report. "It was also related to investments in innovation in its supply chain, marketing, and design."Related Download

Yochai Benkler at the Gartner Web Innovation / Open Source Summit
I spent the latter half of this week at the Gartner Web Innovation and Open Source Summits. (Officially two different conferences, but held over the same three days in the same location).
Luckily, despite some overlapping sessions, the keynote by Yochai Benkler was shared across summits and I was able to attend.
If you're not familiar with Prof. Benkler, you should be. His book The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom is the treatise on /study of commons-based peer production. (It's available in many formats including free versions under a Creative Commons Noncommercial Attribution Share-Alike License).
He's also the author of "Coase's Penguin, or Linux and the Nature of the Firm," in which he argues that:
while free software is highly visible, it is in fact only one example of a much broader social-economic phenomenon. I suggest that we are seeing is the broad and deep emergence of a new, third mode of production in the digitally networked environment. I call this mode "commons-based peer-production," to distinguish it from the property- and contract-based models of firms and markets. Its central characteristic is that groups of individuals successfully collaborate on large-scale projects following a diverse cluster of motivational drives and social signals, rather than either market prices or managerial commands.
What follows are my rough outline notes of his talk. Benkler's the kind of speaker where the notes or even the slides don't do justice to seeing him speak – but at least I've got some of the highlights and examples down.

The People's Poetry Festival is a 3-day event (August 19 – 21) that will showcase local artists and help you become a poet too. Much of the detail hasn't been revealed yet, but here is what we do know:
The festival will be made up of "Poetry Walks" (strolls down some of Kensington's narrowest alleyways to check out the verses spread out on the walls), "DIY Verse" (spur-of-the-moment street composition sessions and public slam stations), and "Beer Hall", which I imagine will involve some combination of poetics and drinking.
We also know and are delighted that the library gets to join in the fun by hosting a one-hour whirlwind introduction to poetry. The details:
Join volunteers from the People's Poetry Festival for a rapid-fire look at what poetry is, how it's written, why people write it, and how it's evolved over time, from Shakespeare's sonnets to Tupac's lyrics. Put your newfound skills to the test and write your own poem!

|The Sims 2: Pets
North American Box Art
|Electronic Arts
|PC, Playstation 2, Wii, Nintendo DS, PSP
|Release Date(s)
|(T) Teen, 7 +, 12 +
[edit] Background
Basically, the Sims 2: Pets is a remake of the ever-popular "Unleashed" for Sims 1. Sims can now have their very own pet, such as dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. You can accessorize the Sims' home, as well, by adding new features that only your animals are able to use.
The game features new pet-related objects and more... this is a major expansion pack.
[edit] General Information
Your Sims will have to feed their pets, spend time with them, and take care of them. Pets have needs just like Sims.
You can customize your Sims and their pets from head to toe... Or head to tail. Everything about them can be changed to suit you, from their looks to their clothes to their personality.
Your pets can have jobs. (Only a dog can have a job.) As Sims need skills to build up. Pets need to learn new tricks from their master. While you earn some cash, your pets can unlock some gifts for your pets when they get promoted.
Pets will also make friends with other animals, other Sims, and especially you. Make them realize that you are their master!
Pets is a new, challenging experience where you will no not only have to manage your Sims, but their pets as well.

I'm trying to find the title for music containing all percussion instruments (pianos/xylophones not included) such as drum corps and marching band drum breakdowns.
