What Sized Prop for 2200KV Motor?
I've been enjoying electric gliders and planes so much that I bought a $12 brushless electric motor from Hong Kong off ebay. It had free shipping. I got it mostly to experiment with and play with. Anyway, I am thinking about putting it
in my Harbor Freight Wild Hawk. I have a new 40amp ESC and also a UBEC.
I'm wondering what kind of prop I should get for it. I don't have a watt meter yet.
Below are the details of my new motor. It does recommend a prop: 8040. But I'm not sure what that means. Also I would like to the opinion of others. This motor and prop would be used on my Harbor Freight glider with the motor/prop on top in back.
Model No.: 2212-6
Rpm/V: 2200KV
Weight: 50g
Motor Dimensions: 27.7*26.3mm
Shaft Size: 3.17*37mm
Battery Opernating: 2-3 Lipo
Idle current: 1.8A
Load current: 18.5A
Power (Watt): 240
Ri(M Ω): 0.03
Prop/recom: 8040

That's a common Suppo 2212/6 outrunner. They're sold in various places under various names, but they're really all the same and they're very popular for parkjets, wings, and planes such as the Wild Hawk, EasyStar, Bixler, and others with limited room for props.
The "8040" refers to a GWS HD 8040, which in "standard" nomenclature is an 8x4 prop. That would be a decent prop choice for the motor on TWO LIPO CELLS. For 3S operation, you'll want about a 6x3. The motor can take a prop with a bit more pitch, but on the WH that extra pitch would really just be wasting power and generating heat.

Since I want this prop to push my wild hawk, do I need a pusher prop? I'm not very up on props since I've not had to buy one yet. There is a difference between regular props and pusher props, right?
|Jun 20, 2012, 12:10 AM
Let's be extremely careful with this one...
The whole "pusher/tractor" designation is highly confusing and utterly useless with brushless motors. It's a carry-over from the days of glow engines that only ran one way, or ran better one way. "Normal-pitch" and "reverse-pitch" are more accurate and less confusing.
The prop doesn't know if it's "pushing" or "pulling". The only important bit is that it's mounted correctly, which is simple enough (but also really freakin complicated when dunderheads try to explain it).
Sorry for the rant. This particular topic has given me much grief when I try to explain it to others, and it doesn't help when forty other guys are spreading their incorrect information
I assure you that I'm right.

I just realized how neurotic that last post sounds...
It's for a good cause.

Thanks for the info! So now I learned another thing about R.C. flying!
|Jun 20, 2012, 11:03 AM
Totally agree with Mr. C4H10, but for the sake of completeness I wanted to add the counter-rotating scenario with a twin-engined aircraft. It is almost always better to have the two motors rotate in opposite directions, so that they cancel out each other's torque effects. Obviously, if one motor is turning clockwise and the other anti-clockwise, the two props cannot be identical. In that specific instance, one of the props should be a "pusher" so that it can do the exact same job - while rotating in the opposite direction.

Also, I'd like to point out that HobbyKing sells them as CounterRotating props and GWS does too. In fact, I mistakenly bought some reversed props by mistake because I didn't understand the nomenclature.
GWS props
DD = Direct Drive
RD = Reduction Drive
RH = Right Hand Rotation
Also, some of the HK prop sizes have an "R" to indicate counter rotating such as 8x4.3R and 5x3R.
Even if you do like me and get the reversed props just mount them normally and reverse the motor. No problem.
I think the most common mistake people make is that they want to mount the prop facing themselves instead of facing forward in the direction of travel.
Normally, the side of the prop with the size/pitch information is facing forward. But I've got some props with no writing at all on them but there are dimples. I still don't know if dimples indicate the front of the prop or back...
|Jun 21, 2012, 02:14 PM
The one surefire way to know correct orientation is that the convex surface of the blade faces forward, that is, toward the direction of travel.

Speaking of motors. What happens if you have a big crash. Then after repairs you put your motor in (lets say on the nose) and the motor/shaft looks a tad off center. The reason i ask is because I crashed my electric glider where the motor is on the nose. I had to fix the nose with fiberglass. The motor shaft is center when I examined it. But my fiberglass might be a little uneven on the firewall. When I put the motor on it's mostly straight but might be a little pointed to the left or right. But it is solid on the mount. How can a slightly crooked or more than slightly crooked mounted motor on the nose effect the glider?
|Jun 22, 2012, 04:47 AM
Generally all model aircraft motors are offset to the right and down a few degrees. The right offset is to counter the tendency of the aircraft to turn left due to the torque and prop wash over the vertical stabilizer. The down thrust is to overcome the tendency to climb under power.
So after your repair you should have a bit of right and a bit of down.
|Jun 22, 2012, 12:35 PM
Is that something you can fix through trimming/trim buttons?
|Jun 22, 2012, 12:57 PM
The best way to set up your thrust angles is to use washers to shim the motor for a little down/right, then fly it and trim for level flight at cruise speed. When you cut the throttle and glide, the plane should keep going straight ahead and not pitch up or down severely. If it pitches down, you need a little more downthrust and a little less down trim.
The downthrust is usually quite a bit more important in my experience, but it does vary from plane to plane.
|Jun 22, 2012, 12:59 PM
|Jun 22, 2012, 03:08 PM
What kind of washers? Aren't washers perfectly flat/smooth all around? Can you explain this a little more? Thanks.
Also, just got back from flying my glider, the one that I had to do the fiberglass job on. She flew pretty good although it was a little windy. Tomorrow is suppose to be nicer with less wind so I give it a good flying.

Day 19 - A picture of your nicknames you have; why do you have them.
I have lots of nicknames...with a given name like Elizabeth, it isn't hard to figure out a way to shorten it in some way or another.
Lizzie Borden...you know the axe murder. Eliza, Beth, etch. I could go on and on.
I am going to tell you all about two nicknames I have. One is Lizard. I got this from this little guy...
Surely you remember the taco bell dog! Watch the commercial... you'll get why within the first 3 seconds...
Here Lizard Lizard! LOL Too cute! :-)
The second one is one I have no picture to use for. It goes along with my username.
This story goes WAY back, before kids and when we had money to spend eating out every weekend...we would go out with a group of friends all the time. So much in fact that we used to make a game out of giving the hostess at restaurants our name. This was back when they used to ask for last names and before the little vibrating box they give you now adays...Our friend gave the hostess the name of Chris PP. Well the idea was for her to call
"Pee Pee party of 6" - my apologizes to all restaurant hostess out there!
Well it didn't work. the lady called us "Chris P Party of 6" so I laughed so hard and told him I would forever call him ChrisP!! and I have...that had to be near 15 years ago. So I call him Chris P and he calls me Liz P as the years have past a lot of my friends and even my husband calls me Liz P....and you thought "P" was the start of my last name!
Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity, and the reasons why it is the biggest
I really want to wear a bikini. There I said it. I don't think I have ever admitted that to anyone before.
All of my weight sits in my belly. Well at least it does right now. I will not wear a bikini until there is no more "dun lap"!!!
My biggest insecurity is my stomach. I do my core exercises and I know I can't spot reduce, so I keep doing my cardio and hope that it'll come off and stay off. :-)

The Evolution Deceit
Title of work
1-13 / Total: 13
Kurdish people are blessed people, they are very honorable and devout, they are decent kind people. When they talk about a Kurdish person, I feel sure that I will definitely come across a decent person. This is not in a stereotypical sense; they genuinely are decent, pious people. They are superior because of their piety. That is the reason why I love them.
Kurdish people mean Turkey. Laz people mean Turkey. Circassian people mean Turkey. Kurdish people are refined members of the Turkish Nation. Kurdish, Turkish, Laz, Circassian; we call all of them Turkish people.
Keeping a straight face, keeping silent, constantly sulking, being worn out and exhausted; those acts would make the satan smile, they would make the satan rejoice. A Muslim would never act in that way. That would be unlawful and unbecoming in the religion.
Kosovo is the homeland of the descendants of the conquerors. Kosovo is our soul, our excitement, our crown jewel. Our Prime Minister's words; "Kosovo is Turkey. Turkey is Kosovo" is a display of endearment. There is no policy of conquest in these words, there is the policy of love and peace.
Kicking up a row in Islamic countries is the easiest thing to do right now. That is because they have put aside love and affection and indoctrinated hatred. They have numbed their minds with Darwinist-materialist education, they have brought about a completely different, aberrant understanding of religion with idolatry and radicalism, they have taken Islam, the Qur'an from their hand and created insane societies. Mahdi (pbuh) is the doctor for the cure of this infliction.
Knowledge is in the Sight of Allah. We cannot know anything other than what Allah teaches us. Consequently Allah is the One Who knows everything, we are always ignorant. Allah is the One Who possesses everything, we are always in need.
Kurdish people are my brothers; they are a part of me. Laz people are my brothers as well. They are all the people of our nation. We are relatives, we are one, we are one family with them. Consequently we would not let anyone harm even a strand of their hair.
King Messiah, Shiloh, meaning the Mahdi (pbuh)- is the one who stops the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Knowing the Qur'an, yet arguing against it requires one's conscience to be completely demolished. It is impossible for a reasonable mindset to deny the existence of Allah that is because such a person would not be able to do that.
Kurdish can never ever be accepted as an official language. Our official language is Turkish. But everyone can speak in any language they like.
Kurdish people are people of moral perfection. They are very innocent. First of all our Kurdish brothers are very civil and respectful. They know how to respect other people very well. They are full of love, very humane, just like all the people of Anatolia. We are all the sons of Prophet Adam (as). Making discrimation towards them, talking against the Kurdish tribe is a trait peculiar to the most base people.
Knowing Allah is not something that demands an extraordinary talent. A PERSON OF NORMAL INTELLIGENCE NOTICES ALLAH'S EXISTENCE TO THE END. He knows it exactly and has faith in the true sense of the word. If I suddenly come out of a room, I come across a very decent system; there are cups, pencils, beautiful people. What kind of a meaning would I attach to it? The first thing that comes to my mind is, "It has an Owner", "There is a Creator." Is there anything to be amazed at this?

When schools undertake a Response to Intervention model, one important piece involves progress monitoring (PM). Conducted at least monthly, these assessments can inform instruction, estimate rates of improvement, and identify students who are not making adequate progress.
Each of those are important to ensuring that kids are getting what they need out of their reading instruction. There are several excellent resources that provide guidance regarding progress monitoring. I'll highlight two here.
In last week's blog post, I wrote about the research on access to books for kids in poverty. In short: all kids, but especially kids from lower-income households, need access to books over the summer. If there are no books laying around to read, it's unlikely that a child will lay around to read.
My neighbor's son, a second grader, was just found eligible to receive special education services for a specific learning disability (LD) in reading. His Mom called me to find out what resources I could recommend to help her talk with her son and her family about LD. As I gathered resources for her, I thought I'd share them with you too.
Lots of kids with reading difficulties have trouble on measures of rapid automatized naming (RAN). RAN tasks measure the time taken for a child to name alphabet letters, digits, colors or common objects presented in a random order. Poorer readers consistently perform more slowly on automatized naming tasks.
As I write this blog on Wednesday morning after our historic presidential election, I'm struck by an article I read on msnbc.com. Howard Fineman summarized what he saw as Obama's seven-prong approach to his campaign that served him well.
It was easy for me to see how well these same seven prongs could serve schools and districts well as they consider how they teach reading.
Below are the seven prongs as described by Fineman, with each prong's relationship to reading summarized. See what you think!
My friend Kathy has a son with mild to moderate disabilities. Henry is going into third grade this year, and I just got an email from her:
"Back to school" has special meaning for Henry. Transitions are tough for him, so these first few weeks of getting adjusted are hard for everyone. I know things will eventually settle down, but I wish these this time of year could be easier. So many tantrums, so many tears.
A few weeks ago I blogged about a kindergarten lesson where the students were confused by the word pause, thinking the teacher meant applause or paws. I promised that teacher I'd send her some materials about vocabulary development with second language learners. I thought I'd share some of the resources I like.
I love the Florida Center for Reading Research. The center is directed by Barbara Foorman and Joe Torgesen. And no one that works there must need sleep! They're always cranking out really good reports and publications. It's one of the first places I go when researching something.
Working with struggling readers is darn hard work. Progress is slow, and it takes an enormous amount of effort. Really concerted, dedicated, sustained effort. The students I work with usually make me want to bang my head against a wall out of frustration and leap across the room for joy, and that's within a 45 minute tutoring session!
Just a few examples of the types of words students are asked to read on a Nonsense Word assessment. Some assessments are timed (how many nonsense words can you read in one minute?), and some assessments use a ceiling (stop when the student incorrectly reads 5 in a row).

Dogan Sirketler Grubu Holding AS (DOHOL), the owner of Turkey's biggest media company, surged the most in almost four months on bets shareholders will benefit from a planned merger with unit Dogan Yayin Holding AS. (DYHOL)
The shares rose 8.8 percent to 0.74 lira at 10:21 a.m. in Istanbul in the biggest advance since Dec. 25. More than 34 million shares changed hands, or 4.4 times the three-month daily average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Dogan Yayin climbed 12 percent, the most since November 2012, to 0.57 lira. The Borsa Istanbul 100 (XU100) index added 0.2 percent.
Dogan will take over Dogan Yayin, the companies said in separate public filings after the market closed yesterday. Investors who object to the proposed deal will have the right to sell stock at 0.67 lira for each Dogan Holding share and 0.5 lira each for Dogan Yayin, according to the statements.
"Both companies were trading at significant discounts over their net asset values," Haydar Acun, who manages the Sardis Turkish Equity Fund, said by phone in Istanbul. "The holding company will be acquiring the media company's assets for cheap. There would also be significant cost savings after."
The merger plan lifted other Dogan companies listed in Istanbul, too. Hurriyet Gazetecilik ve Matbaacilik AS rose 13 percent in the biggest surge since January 2011. Dogan Gazetecilik AS (DGZTE) increased 7.4 percent, its first gain in four days.
Dogan Holding, Hurriyet and Dogan Gazetecilik are among the Sardis fund's top 10 holdings, according to March data published on the its website.

That something is the lake.
Instead of acres of water, there is only a bed of silty mud. Starkly visible on the hillsides surrounding the reservoir is the high-water mark, a horizontal white stripe that's 50 feet above what little lake remains.
Many visitors, surprised by the water level, immediately head for one of the reservoir's hubs of activity: the Lakeside Restaurant and Cantina. In the parking lot there rests the popular Dolly Steamboat, beached like a whale.
"People are in shock," restaurant owner Debi Justice said. "They ask, 'What did they do with the water? Is the drought that bad?'"
Human hands created Canyon Lake. For the moment, those same hands have drained it.
Salt River Project, which provides electricity to the Valley from the Salt and Verde rivers, is performing maintenance on the dams that bookend the reservoir.
To do that work, the lake's level had to be dropped more than 50 feet.
The draining — or drawdown, as SRP calls it — began in late September. Some time in the next few days, the floodgates at Horse Mesa Dam, upriver from Canyon, will be opened and the lake will be filled to the top.
For the people who make their living at the lake, it won't be a moment too soon.
"The loss of business has been huge for us," groaned Cindi Busboom, owner of the Dolly Steamboat.
It was two years ago that SRP informed the restaurant, steamboat and marina that the drawdown was coming.
"We were hoping they would change their minds," marina operator Chuck Richards said.
That didn't happen, so the businesses tried to make the best of the situation. Dolly, in a dry dock of sorts, is undergoing a massive renovation from pontoons to paint job.
The marina towed its scores of boats to what deep water remained. Once the lake rises, an overhaul costing more than $1 million will begin, with the result being 70 additional slips, a breakwater and more bathrooms.
Despite the hardship, the businesses expressed their gratitude that SRP treated them as partners rather than annoyances. The utility even hung two large informational posters in the restaurant to explain the drawdown isn't due to drought.
Also at work during this time has been the U.S. Forest Service, which oversees recreation on the lake that is in the Tonto Forest. There were docks to repair and beaches to clear of large rocks, but deputy recreation staffer Anthony Miller said, "Our main job was getting all the debris off the bottom."
And what debris there was.Twenty-two sunken boats, one still in its trailer. Two cars. A rusted four-wheeler that was left behind because it crumbled on contact. Anchors, folding chairs, cell phones, coolers, marine batteries, wedding rings and sunglasses.
In all, the Forest Service removed at least three trailer-trucks filled with junk, Miller said.
They left behind a sandy lake bed with few features. That's a lousy fish habitat, so the Arizona Game and Fish Department created dozens of "Pisces pyramids" to use as homes.
The pyramids consist of three wooden palettes and are erected in a triangle shape. Discarded Christmas trees are lashed to the slats and then the habitats are attached to the bottom.
SRP's work involves "a lot of manual labor," as much as $2 million worth, principal engineer Roger Baker said.
On a recent Monday at Mormon Flat Dam's massive spill gates, workers prepared to install dozens of bolts. Far beneath the water's surface, a pair of divers worked in near zero visibility at the dam's base.
Baker and SRP chose this time of year for the work because the Valley's water demands are typically lower, recreation on the lake decreases and the weather is usually mild.
On that last point, though, nature didn't cooperate. Earlier this month, consecutive rainy weekends resulted in the lower watershed's third-wettest December in the utility's long history.
"That did set us back a little bit, but our goal is to make sure (the lake) is filled by the end of January," Baker said, "We may just start a little bit later."

"Loyalty has become a new pillar for Cobone.com. Our customers have embraced our loyalty initiatives, with 5% of our rewards members purchasing more than 10 times in the last 4 weeks." said Paul Kenny, CEO of Cobone.com.
A recent Cobone survey conducted with 10,000 respondents showed that 63 percent of customers had purchased between 1 and 3 deals from Cobone in the last three months, with another 19 percent of frequent shoppers having purchased between 4-10 deals in the same period.
The survey indicated that 82 percent of respondents were swayed by price when considering purchasing a deal. The discount on offer, location of the deal, and the brand making the offer were also important factors.
Over 70 percent of respondents were highly interested in travel deals. Other popular categories include food & beverage, electronics, fashion and health & beauty.
"Cobone has seen significant growth in the past quarter as we have focused on both loyalty and innovation within the business. In the past two months we have launched a shopping cart, Cobone Rewards Program, and a hotel search and booking engine being the latest addition to the Cobone portfolio." Added Kenny.
Launched on the 28th of August 2012, Cobone's loyalty programme has already gained over 100,000 members that have spent over 1 million loyalty points with the company. The launch month saw repeat transactions rise by 40 percent over the preceding month, with repeat visits increasing by 60 percent.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

First things first ...My pedometer is alright which I'm so thankful for. I now double check my pockets whenever I throw laundry in the washer. In the weight loss department I've done wonderfully over the holidays which is great but I'm not overwhelmed with joy about it. There were a few days when I didn't log my food at all. Also I've been really wanting to go to the gym to exercise but haven't made it there. So even though i've lost lbs I feel like I've been a bit of a slacker these last couple of weeks. So this week I'm starting anew. I'm going to get back on track with my nutrition tracking and working out.
Oh I wanted to mention today was a new milestone for me on my journey. I've lost 70 lbs total since joining sp...wow I can't even believe it myself. I'm 3.5 lbs away from changing my bmi category from obese to just overweight. To change categories is a really huge thing for me mentally considering I have been in the obese category since middle school. My goal is set a to be out of the obese category about three days before my 24th b-day...what a wonderful b-day gift to myself that will be.
Oh and I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!! May great things find their way to you in 2008!
Please pray for the recovery of my pedometer. Tonight I opened the washing machine and sitting on top was my soaked step counter. I'm hoping that it just needs to dry out a bit, but a part of me is thinking that it is dead forever. I just cannot believe I did something so stupid. If this is the end of the road for my Omron pedometer, I just want to say you have served me well. In fact that pedometer is the reason why I joined Sparkpeople in the first place. So this little gadget holds a special place in my heart. Thanks for turning my life around, in the right direction.
I haven't had a ton of it lately, or rather should I say I haven't had much time to myself lately. Over the course of this month I've been kind of going through the motions of being a responsible adult with my numerous errands and well paying the bills (aka work). But even so I've still am consistent with my work outs and have managed to keep my eating under control so I'm proud of myself for that. Though last week I did gain a pound, I'm sure it will be gone by my wednesday weigh in. I've come to a small realization. I've read so many times that "SP is a lifestyle change and not a diet." Well I think I finally transitioned my thinking into knowing that statement is 100% truth. When I joined sparkpeople I wanted to lose weight then be healthy ...in that order. This is how I know I've transitioned so to speak. The "old me" just wanted to lose weight and didn't really care how or if it was safe. I seriously felt that I didn't have to be healthy until after I lost the weight ( how silly is that). The "new me" actually pays attention to the nutrients I eat. I take a supplement and strive stay in the recommended ranges. Also I don't freak out as much when the scale doesn't give me the number I want that day. I know as long as I'm eating healthy and moving more I will get there eventually.
I weighed in at 196 lbs today. That is a total 2 lb loss for the week. Yippee! Now I'm just 6 lbs away from my next mini goal. Oh and I'm only 3 lbs away from a total weight loss of 60 lbs.
So I received my "motivation" to lose the next ten pounds in the mail today. This adorable jacket will fit soon! I cannot wait to sport it out and about. I bought it at torrid on a 50% off clearance sale. Woohoo! I'm estimating that I'll be able to wear it in about a month or two. It is a torrid size 0 (10/12 plus) which makes me excited because soon I won't be able to shop there anymore. In just a few months I'll be able to wear normal sizes and walk into any clothing store not feeling like people are thinking "Did she get lost on the way to Lane Bryant?"
The future beholds wonderful things!

A 33-YEAR-OLD man is in critical condition after an accident which caused a large oil spillage in Erith on Saturday (Jan 18).
The man drove a Mini Cooper into a parked Mercedes in Bexley Road at 1.48am with such force that oil from the car was spread across the road.
He was taken to Royal London Hospital with head and facial injuries.
A passenger was seen to leave the scene before police arrived.
A Bexley police spokesman said: "Police were called to collision between a Mini Cooper and a parked Mercedes in Bexley Road at 1.48am on Saturday, 18 January.
"The 33-year-old male driver of the Mini was taken to the Royal London Hospital where he remains critically ill with head and facial injuries.
"A passenger was seen to leave the vehicle prior to police arrival and remains outstanding.
"Enquiries continue."

The area has been heavily sanded and is now safe for traffic.

Thursday, 16 October 2014 09:41 Written by Matthew Weinstein
Utah's state budget has been undermined due to a nearly 1200% increase in General Fund earmarks during the past decade. Earmarking ties policymakers' hands so they can't adapt the budget to the evolving needs of the state's ever-growing and ever-changing economy and population. And these are "unfunded" earmarks, meaning that…

Day trip to Tangier with Azia: We had a great day with Aziz in late August. We managed to see just about everything that the had said we would during a one day tour, despite the ferry arriving late in Tangier from Spain. My kids had a great day in Tangier (12 and 10), and it was a great mix of culture, vistas, shopping and food. Altough we had a great day, i would highly recommend staying a little longer as there was so much we wanted to take in but simply did not have the time.

Well, here it is, the evening of May 5, 2013 and the class of
2014 has reached the end of classroom work and is about to enter
the world of clinics. Tomorrow morning at 8am a brand new set
of 4th years will begin to care for patients, talk to
clients, and take the last step to become great doctors. This
is the last that you readers will be hearing from me, as I am
entering that new world with the rest of my classmates, and I will
no longer be blogging and giving tours of the College. It has
been a fantastic two years of sharing my passion for veterinary
medicine, and I thank all of you out there for your tolerance of my
rants, and for your support for all of us students. There
have been so many adventures, highs and lows in the last three
years, and it is my classmates who have always been there pulling
me through. 2014 is a stellar class, a family in its own
right. We have finally made it, and I know our bonds will
only grow stronger as we traverse this crazy year of rotations
together. I look forward to every minute. I am excited
and honored to serve the patients of this hospital alongside my
classmates. This has been one wild ride, and we are about to
get on the last train, the home stretch. 2014ers, thank you
for a great three years; I look forward to all of the adventures
that we will share for the rest of our lives. I am so
thankful to be a part of this class, and I think that some amazing
veterinarians are on their way.
So watch out clinics-the class of 2014 HAS ARRIVED!!!!

This study focuses on a real program to understand households' attitudes toward HKWS and to estimate the value of HKWS services. The results of this study revealed that 41.4% agreed to accept the proposed price of HKWS services, while 42.2% refused to pay, but with a positive attitude toward the HKWS program. In addition, respondents' WTP for proposed HKWS services is significantly related to the level of bid price and their gender, age and education experience. Attitudinal factors that affect resident WTP were also found. For example, respondents who perceive themselves as having a higher ability to conduct HKWS at the source are more willing to pay for their HKWS services, while respondents who complain of the inconvenience of conducting HKWS show negative WTP. The results also showed that on average each household is willing to pay about US$1.44 per month for HKWS services, which is based on 327 respondents after excluding 64 (16.4% of all sample) who indicated complete opposition to the HKWS program. Open Access Article: Historical Image Registration and Land-Use Land-Cover Change Analysis by Fang-Ju Jao, Hone-Jay Chu and Yi-Hsing Tseng Environments 2014, 1(2), 181-189; doi:10.3390/environments1020181 - published 9 December 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: Historical aerial images are important to retain past ground surface information. The land-use land-cover change in the past can be identified using historical aerial images. Automatic historical image registration and stitching is essential because the historical image pose information was usually lost. In this study, the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm was used for feature extraction. Subsequently, the present study used the automatic affine transformation algorithm for historical image registration, based on SIFT features and control points. This study automatically determined image affine parameters and simultaneously transformed from an image coordinate system to a ground coordinate system. After historical aerial image registration, the land-use land-cover change was analyzed between two different years (1947 and 1975) at the Tseng Wen River estuary. Results show that sandbars and water zones were transformed into a large number of fish ponds between 1947 and 1975. Open Access Article: Assessing the Influence of Nonpoint Source and Discharge Changes on Water Quality in a Tidal River Estuary Using a Three-Dimensional Model by Wen-Cheng Liu and Wen-Ting Chan Environments 2014, 1(2), 157-180; doi:10.3390/environments1020157 - published 26 November 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: The change of nonpoint source and freshwater discharge as a result of land use change might affect the water quality in a river. In the current study, a coupled three-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality model was created and applied to the Danshuei River estuarine system and its adjacent coastal ocean. The hydrodynamic and water quality models were validated using observations of water surface elevation, salinity distribution and water quality state variables. The predictions of hydrodynamics, salinity, dissolved oxygen and nutrients from the model simulation quantitatively agreed with the observational data. The validated model was then used to investigate the possible effects of the nonpoint source and freshwater discharge changes at the upstream reaches on water quality conditions in the Danshuei River estuarine system. Three scenarios were investigated to predict the dissolved oxygen using model simulations. The simulated results indicated that increasing nonpoint sources at the upstream reaches degraded the dissolved oxygen under low flow conditions. However, increasing freshwater discharges at the upstream reaches would overcome the loadings of the nonpoint source, which would result in increasing the dissolved oxygen in the tidal river estuary. The model can provide a useful tool for developing management practices for nonpoint sources to protect the water quality in the estuarine system. Open Access Article: Impact of Different Types of Activated Carbon on the Bioaccessibility of 14C-phenanthrene in Sterile and Non-Sterile Soils by Ayodeji Oyelami, Babajide Elegbede and Kirk Semple Environments 2014, 1(2), 137-156; doi:10.3390/environments1020137 - published 27 October 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: In this study, the impact of three different types of activated carbon (AC) on the bioaccessibility of 14C-phenanthrene in non-sterile and sterile soils was investigated. A single dose (1%) of each of the different AC (CB4, CP1 and AQ5000) was blended with soil spiked with 50 mg·kg−1 of 12C/14C-phenanthrene. The mineralisation of the 14C-phenanthrene was monitored over a 14 day incubation period by indigenous soil microflora and an enriched inoculum of Pseudomonas sp., while uptake in earthworms, Eisenia fetida, was measured after incubation for 10 days at 1, 25, 50 and 100 d. Bioaccessibility was assessed using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) solution. Results showed that the presence of AC had a significant effect upon the extents of mineralisation, earthworm uptake and HPCD extraction, when compared to the control. Aquasorb CB4 was the least effective amongst the different AC used. The characteristics of the different AC used was also seen to have a major influence on how each AC would have an effect on its use in soil remediation in reducing bioaccessibility, mobility and risk. Open Access Article: Impact of Coastal Land Use Change on Shoreline Dynamics in Yunlin County, Taiwan by Kwong Fai A. Lo and Chethika W. D. Gunasiri Environments 2014, 1(2), 124-136; doi:10.3390/environments1020124 - published 13 October 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: Located in the west coast of Taiwan, Yunlin County is considered as one of the most industrialized counties. The impact of land use on the coastal zone is significantly high. The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of coastal land use changes in Yunlin County between 1996 and 2011 on shoreline dynamics. Two sets of satellite images (SPOT and FORMOSAT-2) are used as major data sources, and all analyses are performed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques. Land use classification includes seven types. Their area changes and correlations with shoreline area changes are calculated. Results indicate that between 1996 and 2011, the Yunlin coastal zone has experienced substantial land use changes, with dramatic increase of industrial and residential area along with significant loss of sandy coast. For the last sixteen years, Yunlin shoreline has undergone both erosion and accretion position changes. However, accretion is more prominent and common in many places. The net shoreline change observed is an accretion area of 1.65 km2. Results also further reveal that area changes of agriculture, residential, abandoned and aquaculture lands have caused a negative impact on the shoreline, moving it landward. However, area changes of industrial land and the sandy coast have exerted a positive impact (shifting the shoreline towards the sea). This positive impact is mainly due to land reclamation projects and destruction of natural coasts. As such, this is not favorable for natural coastal environments. This study also clearly indicates that, human induced coastal land use changes do exist in Yunlin. These changes may have created long-term shoreline position shifts and significant impact on its coastal environment. Open Access Article: Pollutant Flux Estimation in an Estuary Comparison between Model and Field Measurements by Yen-Chang Chen, Wu-Seng Lung, Han-Chung Yang, Bo-Jhih Chen and Chien-Hung Chen Environments 2014, 1(1), 107-123; doi:10.3390/environments1010107 - published 26 August 2014 Show/Hide Abstract Abstract: This study proposes a framework for estimating pollutant flux in an estuary. An efficient method is applied to estimate the flux of pollutants in an estuary. A gauging station network in the Danshui River estuary is established to measure the data of water quality and discharge based on the efficient method. A boat mounted with an acoustic Doppler profiler (ADP) traverses the river along a preselected path that is normal to the streamflow to measure the velocities, water depths and water quality for calculating pollutant flux. To know the characteristics of the estuary and to provide the basis for the pollutant flux estimation model, data of complete tidal cycles is collected. The discharge estimation model applies the maximum velocity and water level to estimate mean velocity and cross-sectional area, respectively. Thus, the pollutant flux of the estuary can be easily computed as the product of the mean velocity, cross-sectional area and pollutant concentration. The good agreement between the observed and estimated pollutant flux of the Danshui River estuary shows that the pollutant measured by the conventional and the efficient methods are not fundamentally different. The proposed method is cost-effective and reliable. It can be used to estimate pollutant flux in an estuary accurately and efficiently. Latest articles -

*ARC received from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review
This book is a collection of Steampunk Fables based on fairy tales. These stories take you back to a time long ago but with a twist. I
loved them. My favorite would be You Will Attend Until Beauty Awakens. This one is based on Sleeping Beauty and I just loved the story.
Each of the Fables in this book stick to your mind and you will always remember them and I love that about a book that I read. So many
times you can forget what the books were about but this one will always stick.
The technology in these makes a person like me, 'a tech nerd', happy and learning about Steampunk was a great experience for me.
You had gears, laboratories, mechanical dogs and treasure. You get a little and a lot all at the same time. Short stories but great on
detail and Steampunk goodness. This was my first book on Steampunk and I will definitely be checking out more of this genre now that
I got to get into the worlds in each of these Fables.

Lean Startup Tools for Scrum Product Owners
In just a few years, the Lean Startup movement has gained influence by promoting a powerful but simple agile product management toolset—one that complements agile software development approaches such as Scrum and kanban. Arlen Bankston explores the tools and techniques product owners at startup companies and others are employing today for project visioning, experimental design, evaluating new feature impact, prototyping, split testing, and gaining early customer feedback. He demonstrates tools like Google Analytics and reveals where to find and how to exploit "pirate metrics." With case studies, Arlen illustrates how these approaches have been applied on large and small projects. Because the Scrum Product Owner role is often oversimplified yet difficult to execute well, these techniques have been welcomed in organizations ranging from Silicon Valley startups to the US government and its contractors. Join Arlen and add your name to the list!

I loved the first 3 games in the series but after playing through revelations I'm getting sort of tired with Assassins Creed. Heres to hoping 3 turns out well because I really did love those first few games.
Assassin's III a true fallow up to the series

Assassin's Creed 2 made one look like a tech demo. And I loved ACI. It's just a fact. I'm hoping for something in a similar vein (it's clearly not going to be the same leap, but hopefully a nice departure) with 3. Skipped the cash-ins (although borrowed Brotherhood, which added some cool things, but still.)

@probablytuna said:Honestly at this point I'm only really interested in Desmond's story and how crazy the ending was to Brotherhood, do they go into more of that with Revelations or do you think I'll be ok just picking up 3 and skipping this or is the Desmond stuff just some crazy shit that needs to be seen? That's really the only thing making me want to check out the game.
@MilleRD said:If anyone who has played Revelations reads this, is it worth playing? I played I, II and Brotherhood, but everything I saw of Revelations put me off it and I was feeling a bit burned out on the series (because I don't like Ezio). Should I play it before I get III or am I ok just going to a wiki and reading the plot of the story and skipping the game entirely?
I finished it a few months ago in preparation for ACIII and I think it was good but not great compared to Brotherhood which I felt is the best AC experience so far. It just did too little to change the formula while the new additions weren't that significant (bombs and den defence). Still, the introduction of the hookblade was awesome and made climbing buildings faster and more satisfying (something I kinda didn't like too much in the previous games). Even if you just want to know what happens in the game, I don't know if it warrants a purchase because story-wise it's pretty much a side story with no real revelations, contrary to the game's subtitle.
They barely mention what happens in the aftermath of Brotherhood other than a few lines about taking care of Lucy (I don't want to spoil). In terms of Desmond's story, there are basically five main story beats (unlocked by collecting certain amount of memory shards in-game) that expands upon his backstory, his childhood memories/key events that shaped him into the person you first meet in Assassin's Creed. Honestly nothing really happens to Desmond, he falls into a coma in the end of Brotherhood, he wakes up in the end of Revelations. I doubt you will miss much jumping straight into ACIII. And apparently some of the real revelations were released as DLC which is a total dick move in my opinion (related to Subject 16).

Nadal, Murray, Blake win openers
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Top-ranked Rafael Nadal put together a dominating performance Tuesday, routing Belgium's Christophe Rochus 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 in the first round at the Australian Open.
Showing no sign of the knee problems that sidelined him at the end of last year, Nadal yielded only eight points in six games in the first set. When Rochus finally got on the board while already down a break in the second, the capacity crowd in Rod Laver Arena gave him a huge ovation.
Nadal said he just wanted to get off to a good start and wasn't trying to send a message.
"I played well, especially the serve and the forehand," Nadal said.
Nadal, who reached the semifinals here last year and is seeking his sixth Grand Slam title, finished with 47 winners to just seven for Rochus and also blasted 10 aces. The 75th-ranked Belgian, who fell to 13-31 in Grand Slam play, managed to laugh several times, realizing there was little he could do.
Nadal broke for the seventh time to pull ahead 5-2 in the final set, then held at love with four winners to finish off the victory in 77 minutes.
Rochus suggested that he might need to consider a change in professions. Nadal said it's too dangerous to show any mercy.
"Sport is like this," Nadal said. "If I had some mistakes ... anything can happen."
Conditions were perfect for the last match of the night, a sharp contrast to the brutal sun and swirling winds that plagued players earlier in the day.
Meanwhile, Britain's Andy Murray got a mixed blessing when Andrei Pavel, who was hoping to make a farewell tour of the majors before retiring, had to quit after 45 minutes when his bad back acted up.
"I would have liked to have been on court a bit longer," said the fourth-seeded Murray, who won for the first time on center court here. "You don't want to win a match like that."
Most everybody else was eager to finish fast with the temperature topping 104 degrees in the afternoon. Murray, a 21-year-old Scot, said he could feel his feet burning on long points. Photographers at courtside draped their heads, bodies and cameras in wet towels. Spectators fanned themselves with paper and official programs.
Murray was installed as the favorite or joint favorite for the tournament by British bookmakers after beating Roger Federer three times since losing the U.S. Open final -- his best run at a major to date.
"I'm aiming to go one better here and I need all the support I can get," he said, noting the number of Scottish flags unfurled around the stadium. "It's nice. Hopefully they'll keep coming throughout the tournament."
In other men's matches, No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat Argentina's Juan Monaco, No. 6 Gilles Simon downed Spain's Pablo Andujar, and fellow Frenchman Richard Gasquet, seeded 24th, ousted Diego Junqueira.
Tsonga had upset wins over Murray in the first round and Nadal in the semifinals here last year before losing the final to Novak Djokovic.
Ninth-seeded James Blake, who reached the quarterfinals at Melbourne Park last year to match his best effort at a Grand Slam, had more than twice as many winners as unforced errors while beating Canada's Frank Dancevic.
No. 13 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile, runner-up here to Federer in 2007, ended local hope Lleyton Hewitt's 13th Australian Open. Hewitt, a former U.S. Open and Wimbledon champion, lost the final at his home major in 2005 to Marat Safin.
