Cables and Connectors Technology Showcase
May 31, 2011 8:21 AM, by Bennett Liles
One of the primary time savers in permanent installation and remote setups is AV composite cable and among its extensive cable line, Canare offers a variety of AV composite cable types for OB vans, ENG/EFP applications, and AV combo snakes. A2V1 provides two 25 AWG balanced audio lines in twisted pair with a foil shield and drain wire along with a single 75Ω video coax channel. Also available is the A2V2-L with two audio, two video, and four lines for intercom or tally triggering. In addition there are cables with various multiples of audio and video lines. Also from Canare is the LF series hybrid fiber/copper camera cable combining fiber with separate conductors for power and control.
Crestron's CBL-HD-certified HDMI interface cable is a Category 2 HDMI cable with 24k gold-plated Type A connectors to support 1080p60 HDTV with 16-bit color depth. Capable of handling resolutions up to WQXGA, the cable is sheathed in a High-flex CL3-rated jacket and is available in popular lengths up to 30ft. The MP-WP125 wall plate is typical of Crestron's Media Presentation wall plates and provides eight gold-plated RCA connectors color-coded for component and composite video along with stereo sound. No stranger to the fiber realm, Crestron also offers the high-performance CresFiber 8G, a gradedindex multimode fiber cable tested to wavelengths up to 1550nm.
Designed to transport high-speed digital DVI and HDMI signals with bit rates up to 2.25Gbps over long distances, the Super High Resolution (SHR) cables from DVIGear maintain high signal integrity. The SHR cables form active cable assemblies when used with DVIGear's Active Cable Extenders (ACE) for fully DVI and HDMI compliant transport up to 197ft. The DVI-2300-FO series series provides optical transport for DVI with resolutions up to 1080p and PC resolution up to 1920x1200 in a hybrid copper/fiber cable supporting bidirectional DDC communication. The DVI-2500-FO series series consists of four high-speed glass fibers and six copper wires and carries HDMI signals over 300ft.
Extron Electronics has introduced its new OM4 MM P laser-optimized multimode fiber cable for signal distances up to 2km with OM4 performance. Also new is the LockIt HDMI cable-lacing bracket. This is used to secure HDMI cables to a product's connectors, reducing stress on the connector and reducing intermittent signal loss. Extron's new Captive Screw Connectors for DC power, audio, and control connections have a strain-relief tab that provides a tie-down point for a securing a zip tie. They also feature an extended barrier between the two-wire openings to prevent shorts. In addition, DC power connectors feature a lock-out tab that prevents the connector from being inserted into a blue signal port on the back of an Extron product.
The HDMI Extreme cables from Gefen offer an integrated HDMI cable solution composed of fiber-optic cable and electro-optical components built into the HDMI connector at the endpoints. These cables come in several lengths and are HDCP-compliant. A single power supply is included for use on the display end of the cable in case the video source signal is too weak to power the entire extension distance. Also from Gefen is the DisplayPort fiber-optic extender cable, which runs USB 2.0 up to 1000ft. on single-mode cable. Offering plug-and-play connectivity between DisplayPort computers and Apple's new 27in. LED Cinema Displays, the DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort adapter adapter is another recent addition.

CHP Officer Pinned Against Fence During Stop
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A stolen vehicle suspect fled on foot after putting the car in reverse and pinning a California Highway Patrol officer and his motorcycle against a fence in East Los Angeles.
The officer wasn't seriously hurt in the Tuesday night incident.
CHP Sgt. Tariq Johnson says the motorcycle officer was on routine patrol when he saw the driver of the stolen car run a red light at about 7:30 p.m. After pulling over the car, investigators say the driver put the car in reverse and pinned the officer against a fence.
The Los Angeles Times says the man then got out of the car and ran away.

Stopping the destruction of the rainforest
Name: Della Curtis Status: Other Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
What groups are making an impact on the stopping the slash and burn of the rainforests?
That is a really tough question. There are many groups involved: the commercial agricultural and industrial interests who are clearing the land, the consumers who buy the products brought to market by the commercial groups, the UN Environmental Programme who sponsored UN resolutions to control tropical forestry, and a whole bunch of environmental organizations who have made rain-forest preservation their leading cause, not to mention the World Bank and International Monetary Fund who gave out development loans for massive projects like dam-building and road-building in countries with rainforests. Many adjustments to policy have followed from the bad publicity brought about through the efforts of environmentalists, including new screening procedures for World Bank and IMF loans that take environmental impacts into account.
Ultimately, I think the group that has the most impact in slowing tropical deforestation will be any group that can prove that more money can be made from an intact forest than from a deforested desert. Rubber tappers are one example of a group that has an economic interest in keeping the forest intact, and pharmaceutical and "bio-tech" companies are another example of groups who will bring pressure to bear to protect their economic interests in rain-forest conservation.

Proper etiquette
A traditional MC club commands respect for one reason. There is a very deep level of personal commitment and self-discipline that a man has to demonstrate and sustain in order to wear a patch. They realize that a club's "Colors" are closely guarded and the membership process is long and difficult. Other factors notwithstanding, they respect Patchholders for what they have accomplished by being able to earn and keep the patch they wear. This is respect born out of recognition of dedication and accomplishment. This is especially true as it pertains to those persons outside of the motorcycle community. They will therefore conduct themselves as upstanding citizens in every way…"Good neighbors" so to speak. The goal is to be admired and respected by the general public rather that feared. The serious club, and all or its members and guests, will always conduct themselves publicly in a highly professional manner.
A traditional MC Patchholder will not discuss any club business whether it's about membership numbers, club goings on, or any member's personal information with anyone outside of the club. Wearing a patch means more to MC Patchholders than getting together for good times. It also means getting together for the other times, too. It's committing themselves to a lifestyle in which they do not look for how their brothers or sisters can help them, but for ways that they can be of help to their brothers and sisters. IN GENERAL MEMBERSHIP IN TRADITIONAL MC's CONSISTS OF A MUCH HIGHER LEVEL OF COMMITMENT THAN MEMBERSHIP IN RC's OR SOCIAL MC's.
DO'S AND DON'TS FOR RIDING CLUBS & SOCIAL MC's
AVOID GETTING INTO A DISCUSSION WITH A TRADITIONAL PATCHHOLDER ABOUT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: a) comparing levels of committment in your group with theirs, b) whether your patches are purchased or earned, or c) whether you are a traditional MC or a social MC. TRADITIONAL MC's BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM RC's IN THESE WAYS AND THEY ARE VERY TOUCHY ABOUT IT. IT IS BETTER TO KEEP YOUR CLUBS RULES AND AND INFORMATION PRIVATE AS THEY WILL DO WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THEIR
Women as patchholders, while not totally unheard of, are rare. That's just the way it is in that world. Most MC's would rather deal with a man if there is business to conduct. Whether or not they will deal directly with a woman depends on the individual MC/Chapter. There is no set rule for this and they will let you know if it's OK with them or not. SO BE CAREFUL WHEN FEMALE MEMBERS DEAL WITH TRADITIONAL MC PATCHHOLDERS. DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS ON THIS SUBJECT. JUST ACCEPT THAT THIS IS THE WAY IT IS IN THAT WORLD.
The term "Brother" of "Bro" has special meaning to a MC Patchholder, do not call a MC Patchholder Brother or Bro. Their Brothers are fellow MC Patchholders and those that have earned that term.

Officers' Quarters: Raiding addons aren't optional {WoW}
Oct 18th 2010 11:25PM I used to use DBM, back when Ulduar was still the shit. After the initial thrill of finally being able to raid, it began to get boring and repetitive. I complained about how raiding was too easy to my guild one day, and most of them agreed. One of our dps though, asked me if I was using raiding addons, and when I said yes, he said to turn them off and I might have more fun. At first I basically was saying "lol no" to him, but he kept pestering me about it, because I kept complaining.
I finally went one Ulduar raid without any addons turned on, and I was so overwhelmed with stuff I had to keep track of that I caused a multitude of wipes. And you know what? I had fun. My guild bitched for a while about it, but I decided then to start going addon-less on fights we had on farm, and eventually stopped using them entirely. And I got better at it! Soon I was back to being my guild's go-to healer (though that's not saying much, heh).
And so the moral of the story? If you were using raiding addons during Wrath, I swear by the Light you better not have been saying raiding was too easy, or that it was boring. If you think that, mix things up a little! Make things a bit more hectic! Get rid of the stuff you just said make things easier! Either that, or quit complaining, because YOU are making it easier, not Blizz.

This report analyzes how recent immigrants to France fare in the country's labor market over time. The research shows that new arrivals initially face a hostile labor market and ultimately improve their employment outcomes—but their process of labor market insertion and advancement is a slow one.
Many of Sweden's immigrants are refugees who lack the skills and education to gain employment soon after they arrive. Over time, however, newcomers to Sweden have improved their employment rates, displayed income growth similar to natives, and moved from low- to middle-skilled positions. This report assesses how new immigrants—refugees, labor migrants, and others—fare in Sweden's labor market.
A quiet policy transformation is taking place in Europe, as policymakers increasingly turn to a strategy of "mainstreaming" immigrant integration—seeking to reach people with a migration background through needs-based social programming and policies that also target the general population. This report assesses mainstreaming efforts across government in Denmark, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
This report assesses how new immigrants to Spain fare in the country's labor market, evaluating the conditions under which they are able to find employment, and their progress out of unskilled work into middle-skilled jobs.

From the moment I first saw Daniel, I knew he was someone special. I later found out that he was pretty curious from the start about me, too. =)
There was something about that connection that has always stuck with me. Daniel has always felt familiar to me, like he was a long lost friend, but from some distant place I don't really remember.
Though it sounds strange, we both knew very early on that we were meant for each other. Within days of meeting, we had a discussion that led me to confessing to him that I was supposed to marry him and he responded with the words that will never leave me, "I know". With little understanding from anyone, we moved forward, because something inexplicable had happened. We had faith that God had led us to each other.
We're certain that most of the people that came to celebrate that December day we were married were confused or concerned, but almost nine years later, we've only fallen deeper and deeper in love.
We've seen our share of storms in life, one of the biggest being the challenges we've faced bringing a child into our family. Daniel has always been there for me. He has lovingly listened and comforted me as I've struggled to understand what God's plan was for us. He has held me and uplifted me and made our little family of two abundant in love.
When I look at these photos, I know of the hope and the joy we had to see what the future held for us. Nine years later, we still hold that hope and it has become more sacred and precious to us. We know there is a plan. We know that when the moment is right, God will bless us with the child that he's intended for us all along.

Record Freshman Class launches new era of technology
Anderson University to use iPad in new mobile learning initiative
When a record 530 freshman arrived at Anderson University on August 13th, they received room assignments and schedules like students anywhere, but when they received brand new iPad2s early the next week, they marked the beginning of a cutting-edge initiative not to be found on this scale anywhere in the region.
"We are aware of some instances where the iPad and similar technology is used in specific disciplines, but we are not aware of other institutions in our region that are employing the new technology across the curriculum," said Dr. Evans Whitaker, Anderson's president.
Anderson University's Mobile Learning Initiative (MLI) has been under development for over a year and is the result of faculty research into how the devices, combined with ubiquitous Internet access, can be leveraged to transform a college learning experience that has historically been bound by classrooms and class times into a limitless interactive event that takes the best of traditional learning and expands it to the full capabilities of today's technology.
"This movement isn't about simply replacing sound teaching with the latest technology," says Nathan Cox, Associate Professor of Art, and one of the faculty leaders behind the MLI. "It is about augmenting what the AU faculty already does best. Face-to-face, critical discussions in the classroom are combined with highly engaging, collaborative, interactive ways of communicating and sharing information, both within, and outside of class."
"One of the many things I appreciate about our faculty members is that they fearlessly embrace change, especially when that change positively impacts teaching and learning," Whitaker said. "A small group of faculty members led out in exemplary fashion, but many more quickly joined them."
Anderson professors have been piloting several new programs over the past year to test the capabilities of the iPad and iPad2 as a platform for instruction and learning. Simultaneously, the campus has significantly enhanced its wireless infrastructure to accommodate the technology. This year, each and every freshman will utilize the devices over the course of their first year classes. Collaborative and interactive learning will get its start in the traditional classroom, but go beyond those limits in a variety of creative ways devised to enhance the college experience.
Cox says, "With an iPad tablet computer, students can carry all of their textbooks for the entire semester on a mobile device that weighs slightly more than a pound - far less than that of even a single printed text. My freshman Art majors will be using an e-text that allows them to takes notes, look up definitions on the internet, add their own course content, make journal entries, take quizzes, and take and shares notes over the air with other students using the same text - all within the book itself. The very definition of 'book' is being redefined. Student can now carry entire libraries of information with them wherever they go."
Is MLI a fad like laptop computers were shortly after their introduction when several high profile universities distributed them to all their freshmen?
Anderson University is convinced it is not. According to Whitaker, the laptop computer giveaways of the 1990s were for the most part a "hardware fad," which Anderson University never embraced.
"In contrast, the concept of mobile learning is really about harnessing the campus-wide availability of the internet with its growing academic resources and putting them in the hands of forward-thinking professors and digitally savvy students to use as a powerful 'take-anywhere' tool that will likely transform the way we teach and the way our students learn," he explained.
Already, Anderson is viewed as a leader in the employment of mobile learning technology. When Anderson's provost, Dr. Danny Parker, led an open discussion about higher education trends at an academic conference this summer in Texas, he was pleasantly surprised to learn that many of his colleagues had heard about the initiative and were impressed by it.
"I didn't go to Texas to talk about the Mobile Learning Initiative," Parker said. "But I soon learned that my colleagues were far more interested in learning what we are doing with the iPads than they were in anything else I had to say."
This year's freshman class, which far exceeds the record number set last year at Anderson, will be the first to be immersed in MLI, but each succeeding freshman class will also use the latest mobile devices available at the time until the entire campus is fully leveraging mobile technology for learning.
With 530 new freshman and 85 transfer students headed to AU this fall, the institution will welcome its 6th straight record group of new students. The campus enrollment, which exceeded 2,500 for the first time in school history last year, will likely push past the 2,600 mark this year.

Several years ago I experienced overwhelming problems with food sensitivities. I took time to study my blood type and now I gravitate toward blood type B foods, herbs and spices. I can honestly say that my digestive system is much happier now. Thank you for sharing some very healthful recipes with me and for understanding if I need to tweak them a little so they jive with my physiology. I've also had the opportunity to develop some recipes that i would be happy to share. My favorite positive affirmation is: I love food...and...food loves me!
Turkey, broccoli, lima beans, any salad dressing that make my veggies taste like heaven and chocolate...of course.

Here are just a few of our main topic areas:
With NextBillion Health Care, our goal is to highlight both market-based approaches as they relate to driving change within large-scale institutions. In other words, it's not one model versus the other, but how to bring the efficiency of markets and the scale of public systems to affect the most people. Kyle Poplin serves as editor for the blog.

The Center for Health Market Innovations has released its annual report, "Highlights: Findings From 2014," which identifies health care programs and policies, documents and analyzes promising practices, and spotlights programs with potential for scale up and adaptation within and across borders.
India accounts for 27 percent of global newborn deaths, the highest in the world. Dasra, a Mumbai-based strategic philanthropy foundation, has been conducting research which highlights a critical "missing link" that can help India address newborn survival at scale: corporates.
According the United Nations' official MDG Progress Chart, two of the goals lagging furthest behind are MDG 3 – which aims to promote gender equality and empower women – and MDG 5 – which aims to improve maternal health. "How can we tell (the women of the world) that their health and equality simply wasn't a priority?" asks former Malawi President Joyce Banda in this rare interview.
It was an eventful week in global development - it almost always is. But this week featured a number of particularly important developments, ranging from Bill and Melinda Gates' trend-shaping annual letter, to some significant new research on microcredit's impact on poverty.

Who's last name to use?
So my hubby and I have been legally married in California for 3 years now. Ever since we decided to get married the question loomed, who's last name do we pick. I want to use his name and he wants to use mine. Unfortunately his last name is two words already and I don't think we could use both as that would really be long. Then the question would be, who's goes first? This discussion has been going on and off since. Any suggestions? How do you choose? Then my other question is in California how do you go about changing your last name? :confused3
I have a friends, opposite sex couple, who combined their names rather than using either. Not a hyphen but a new word - name.
Of course we had a great time at work playing with names - especially one woman who's last name was Moore and her husband's Dickey. :lmao: Another thought is do you plan on having children and is either name the end of the line that you would like to continue. |
:) Here in the deep South...you chose hubby's last name (generally) and your Maiden name becomes your new middle name. In California where my MIL is from she kept her original middle name, dropped her last name and took her hubby's last name. I have always liked having my Maiden name as my middle name. I hear Yankees do it differently :lmao:
I think I would pick your last name since it is one word Maybe you could use your last name as a middle name for both of you then his last name at the end. Olivia Newton-John marries John Travolta....here in the South she would be Olivia Newton-John Travolta. :lmao: Use to work with a lady whose name was Mavis Havis and they paged her overhead all the time. We also had a Joe Blow and the overhead operator finally had to start calling him Joseph Blow. To change my last name is Mississippi I took my marriage license to the social security office and got it changed there first--everything else followed. I would love it if same sex marriages were allowed here...I am a supporter of that and am very happy for you both....hopefully I will live to see the day. |
New life new name.
My husband (I am a woman) has a horrible last name. Think it always must be spelled and is a mouthful to pronounce. My last name is not much better, but someone famous has the same name so it has some basic street recognition (by that I mean people can guess the first 3 letters). I suggested when we got married that we both changed our names. Not a combination of the 2 bad names, but something totally different. I was heavily leaning toward some of his family names, think East, White, Smith....very easy to spell very generic american. He rejected the idea, as I rejected his last name as it would have been a ridiculous amount spelling combined with my already unique first names. Now we have a baby. She has my last name, and a super plain first name. He is sad we did not become the Grey family, or something equally generic. My advise. First consider if you will have children (names matter, kids are cruel), if you will pick the name that is the most generic (also helpful in job situations if someone does not have any preconceived notions about the ethnic group). If both are somewhat complicated, pick a new name that you both agree upon. If you are not going to have kids, then go crazy and make a 37 letter combination if it will make you happy. In the grand scheme the name won't make you happy or unhappy; just the person you have to look at for the next 75 years (I am an optimist). BTW Congratulations. |
Don't think kids will be in our future. Maybe if I was younger(40's). My hubby is 15 years younger and I've often wondered if he wants kids but so far he says no. Thanks again for the thoughts! |
Interesting, I've often wondered who's name you'd choose.
I know OP said you weren't keen on a triple-barrel name, and I can imagine it might cause a few headaches - however another way to look at it is that it certainly would be unique. People might mistake you for European Aristocracy. ;) |
Thanks for the advice. |
I had an acquaintance from Barcelona while I was still living in San Francisco. While I was studying Spanish at the time, I was never fluent. She spoke almost no English so our conversations were juvenile enough to bore anybody fluent in both languages, but we hung out together anyway. She had bright red hair, which I have heard is not that rare among the Spanish. This meant that she was often treated very rudely in places such as the Mission Delores District for ordering her food or otherwise conducting her business in Spanish. Hispanic vendors would sometimes snarl at her that she did not need to be so condescending because they could speak English. Lupe was not being condescending. The only language which she felt confortable in was Spanish, although she did know some Catalon, so she was often angry and saddened around other Hispanics. Yet, if you watch the television shows from South America, it is not unusual to see very European-looking people, who are native speakers of Spanish, as newcasters and stuff. A possible diplomatic move is to trade last names with your husband. It might go some distance in getting acceptance that each of you are now members of the other's family if anyone is having any difficulty with your same-sex marriage. |
We just each kept our own. Saves a lot of paperwork ;). I do find myself having to explain at times that his last name is not mine...but he is my lawful ( opposite sex if you are wondering) husband.
A married couple we know had almost the same last names, the only difference was his had an "i" in the last name and hers doesn't. They each kept their own last names, but they have to be really careful that the airlines don't change one of them thinking that is a typo. (actually happened to them once.) |

Jane Hotel
New York, NY, 10014, United States
While the Jane, designed by Sean MacPherson (the Bowery Hotel, the Maritime Hotel), is romantic in theory—an old riverfront building with tiny rooms modeled after European train sleeper cars—keep in mind that a New York hotel with starting rates in the double digits comes with drawbacks. Our room during a recent stay had a 27-inch flat-screen TV, an iPod dock, and complimentary water bottled on-site, but the room was too hot, and opening the window wasn't an option because the property is next to the roaring West Side Highway. Bathrooms are shared and coed, which won't appeal to all travelers.

Moon and Weight
Name: libby Status: other Age: 11 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 4/16/2004
What would happen to your weight if you went on the moon? Why does this happen?
Weight is what you get when you stand on a scale. Scales are weight measuring devices that use a spring or some kind of metal bar that stretches or bends when your weight is applied to it. The heavier you are, the greater the amount of stretch or bend. That flexing is transferred to the dial of the scale so you can read your weight.
The moon is much smaller than the earth. As a result, the force of gravity on the moon is only about one sixth as strong as gravity on earth. Gravity is what holds us down on the earth's (or moon's) surface.
If you were to weigh yourself on a scale here on earth and then could take that same scale to the moon and weigh yourself there, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth weight. So, If you weighed 100 pounds on earth, you would weigh only about 16 pounds on the moon.
ProfHoff 840
You have a certain mass. Mass is how much stuff you are made of, and it is the same whether you are on Earth, on the moon, on Mercury, or anywhere else you can think of. You are held on Earth by gravity. Gravity pulling on your mass is your weight (you will learn in school about gravity as a force, if you have not already). The amount gravity pulls on you anywhere depends on your mass and the mass of the other object (and how far apart the objects are). The moon is smaller than Earth and has a smaller mass, so the moon won't pull on you as much if you are standing on it. The moon's gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth's gravity. If you weigh 60 pounds on Earth, fly to the moon with a scale and stand on it, you will weigh about 10 pounds. If you weigh 120 pounds on Earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. If you want to figure out how much YOU would weigh on the moon, take YOUR weight and divide it by 6.
Pat Rowe
Libby -
Weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other. The bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity. (And gravity is what causes weight.) If you weigh 100 pounds on the earth, you would weigh more on a larger planet... like Jupiter where you would weigh about 236 pounds.
On the moon, because the moon is much smaller than the earth (but remember, you are the same size) you would weigh about 17 pounds. Think what a great high jumper you could be! However, in order to survive on the moon you would need a survival suit that could weigh as much as 300 earth pounds... or about 50 pounds more on the moon. Even with that, you and your suit would only weigh about 67 pounds. That is lighter than you are as you sit reading this note.
Have you seen movies of men walking on the moon? Do they appear to be lighter? They are. More than that, because the moon has less mass (and therefore less gravitational force) when something falls, it falls more slowly.
Are you ready for the trip to the moon. I have been for a long time. More than that, it seems there is an interest in returning there. Let's go!
Larry Krengel
P. S. If you want to calculate your weight in other parts of the solar system, you can at this web site -
Hello Libby!
Before we get into answering your question, there are 2 important definitions that need to be brought into the conversation. These include the definitions of weight and mass. All too often these terms are used interchangeably, which drives most scientists up a tree!
Mass is the amount of matter (material) that makes up an object. The tricky definition of mass deals with inertia, which is probably a bit beyond where you are at in science class. Technically mass is a measure of how much inertia an object displays - but if that confuses you don't worry about it for now. :) The important thing to remember about mass is that it is constant, and therefore if you are on Earth, the Moon, Mars, or anywhere, your mass is always going to be the same.
Weight is defined as the product of a body's mass and the gravitational acceleration in which the mass is located. (Weight = Mass x Gravity) What this means is that your weight depends on both your mass (which doesn't change) and the gravitation force of the place you are located. Therefore, a place with less gravity would cause an object to have less weight. So on the moon, where there is less gravity, you would weight less than you do on Earth where there is more gravity. (Have you ever seen a video of a Moon walk? The astronauts, when they step they look like they are bounce around? That's because there is so much less gravity on the Moon. It looks funny because we are use to seeing people walk on Earth where there is more gravity).
Let's look at an example, but we'll use the metric measuring system because it is the best measuring system to use in science.
Let's say we have a 1kg object (a kilogram (kg) is a measure of mass). The value of gravitational acceleration on Earth = 9.8m/s^2. On the moon, gravitation acceleration is 1.67 m/sec^2. So how much does that object weight on the Earth verses the Moon?
1kg X 9.8m/s^2 = 9.8 Newtons
1kg X 1.67m/s^2 = 1.67 Newtons
Although the units used in this calculation may look confusing (in a few years you'll be a wiz at the metric system), you can nonetheless see that on the Moon a 1kg object weighs MUCH LESS than it does on the Earth!
Now, isn't that much better than any diet you've ever heard of! Anyone feeling the need to lose weight simply needs to be sent to the moon ;) hehehe . . . I crack myself up.
I hope that helps, and good luck!

Your weight would be 1/6th of what it is on the Earth. This is because the mass of the Moon is 1/6th that of the Earth.
Howard Barnes.
Hi Libby,
Weight is actually the measure of gravity pulling on you. On Earth, the Earth pulls on you, and you pull on it. The amount of gravity is determined by the size of the two objects pulling on each other. The moon is about 1/6 as big as the Earth. So it pulls on you with about 1/6 the force. So if you could go to the moon, you would weigh about 1/6 of what you weigh on Earth. Weird isn't it?! Now lets say you get to travel to Jupiter. Jupiter is A LOT bigger than the Earth, so you weigh a lot more because Jupiter would be pulling on you with a greater force.
One more weird thing to think about. You wouldn't get skinnier by going to the moon, or fatter by going to Jupiter. The amount of stuff that makes you up would still all be there. That's called you mass. Mass never changes. Weight changes depending on where you are in the universe. Your weight actually changes a teeny bit here on Earth if you are on the top of a very high mountain compared with your weight at sea level.
I hope this explains a little. There might be some books in the library that would be helpful. Ask your friendly librarian. Good question.
Happy Science!
Martha Croll
The unexplained answer is almost exactly 1/6. But how that happens is more important. Isaac Newton discovered the "universal" law of gravity. At the time, and even today, this law of gravity confuses some people because they confuse MASS and WEIGHT. The MASS of an object is the quantity of matter it possesses. You can ask, "How do we know what that is?" But the answer to that question is too complex to go into here. Just assume that every object contains a quantity of matter, and that quantity is called its mass. Give it the symbol 'M'.
The WEIGHT of an object is the force exerted upon it by all other objects in the WHOLE UNIVERSE!! Give that mass the symbol 'm'.
Fortunately, only a few and usually only 1 or 2 objects are close enough to have their effect important. In our case only the Earth, Moon, and Sun are important. If we never left the surface of the Earth, the distinction between MASS and WEIGHT could be used interchangeably, but they are different. If you have ever ridden on a roller coaster, and felt like you were being "squeezed" into your seat, or you were "floating" you experienced the difference in your WEIGHT even though your MASS remained the same.
Isaac Newton discovered the formula that connects the WEIGHT, the MASS, and the DISTANCE separating two objects. The formula is: W = G * M * m / R^2. In his formula: W is the WEIGHT of the object, M is its MASS, m is the MASS of the other body, R is the distance that separates the two and G is a universal constant. G = 6.67259x10^-11 (m^3*kg^-1*sec^-2) but you don't need this to answer your question, as you will see.
Standing on the Earth your WEIGHT depends upon your mass, M, the mass of the earth, m, that remains fixed, and R, how far you are from the center of the Earth. The reason people confuse WEIGHT and MASS is because, so long as you remain stationary everything in the formula W= G * M *m / R^2 stays the same so it doesn't make any difference if you use M or W in comparing two objects.
Now back to your Moon question. The ratio of your weight on the Moon, Wmoon, compared to your weight on the Earth, Wearth is: Wmoon / Wearth = G * M * m(moon) / (Rmoon)^2 / G * M * m(earth) / (Rearth)^2. This simplifies by cancellation to: Wmoon / Wearth = m(moon) / (Rmoon)^2 / m(earth) / (Rearth)^2. Notice that the ratio of your weight doesn't even depend upon how much or how little your mass is. The quantities you need then, are:
m(moon) = 7.35x10^22 kg,
m(earth) = 5.9743x10^24 kg,
Rmoon = 1.738x10^6 meters,
Rearth = 6.378x10^6 meters.
So, plugging these numbers in you find that: Wmoon / Wearth = 0.1668 and 1/6 = 0.1667 Hmmm! Is this a coincidence, or is there some underlying principle??
There are a couple of other interesting facts. The local force of gravity, that is the apparent weight of a known mass varies from place to place on the Earth (and other astronomical bodies too) depending upon whether you are on a mountain or in a valley and whether you are standing on dense rock or loose sand. There are instruments that can measure this difference. The most sensitive are pairs of satellites orbiting the Earth that compare their position as the pass over the same spot on the Earth at different times. Using these instruments, scientists are making detailed gravitational "maps" of the Earth.
If you would like to know how much you would weigh on other planets, find the site:
http://kids.msfc.nasa.gov/Puzzles/Weight.asp and plug in your weight.
Vince Calder
The gravitational attraction at the lunar surface is one-sixth of that experienced on Earth's surface ( a 100-pound person on Earth weighs only 17 pounds on the Moon). This difference allows an astronaut to lift a "heavy" life-support system with relative ease. If it were not necessary to carry such a load, an astronaut could jump six times higher on the Moon than on Earth. I hope that this helps answer you question.

I don't know how anyone could ever claim that pitching duels are boring. Tonight's blistering pitching pace set by two groundball machines was a nerve racking affair until Tim Hudson took his domination to the other side of the inning with a two run home run in the bottom of the seventh off Ricky Romero.
Despite threatening in the top of the ninth, the Blue Jays couldn't figure out Hudson nor Braves closer Craig Kimbrel as Toronto fell to Atlanta 2-0.
Anatomy Of A Dominant Performance
Look at all those swinging strikes and in play outs in the bottom right corner of the strike zone. That's what Tim Hudson's eight innings of dominance looked like tonight as he kept the Blue Jays off the scoreboard, allowing only two hits and a walk while striking out eight batters.
Hudson threw fifteen swinging strikes, or 16% of his pitches caused whiffs from the Toronto Blue Jays lineup. Nine of those were on his slider, of which the Braves starter threw 22. By mixing that slider in with his sinker, the Blue Jays were made to look absolutely foolish through most of the game.
Most Important Play Of The Game
This shouldn't take a lot of guess work. Tim Hudson's seventh inning home run with Diory Hernandez on first base gave the Atlanta Braves a two run lead that the Blue Jays could never equal. His single swing of the bat increased the Braves probability of winning by 34%.
Between that play, his other at bats and his pitching, Hudson increased his team's probability of winning by 60%.
Biggest Disappointment Of The Game
Corey Patterson at bat which went from back to back failed bunt attempts to a strikeout with two runners on base decreased the probability of the Blue Jays winning by 11%
The Shamsky Award
Named after Art Shamsky, who single handedly increased the Cincinnati Reds' chances of winning by 150.3% in a losing effort during a game in 1966, The Shamsky Award is given to the player on the losing team who contributes the most to them winning.
Mike McCoy's single at bat of the game pinch hitting for Shawn Camp in the top of the ninth resulted in a walk and the highest amount of win probability added for the Blue Jays in a losing cause.
The Aggravating Thing That John Farrell Did
I'm going to ignore the fact that Ricky Romero had thrown 101 pitches after seven innings when he was pulled from the game. That's because I'd like to focus my ire on the decision to allow Corey Patterson to bunt with two men on base and none out in the ninth inning when the GODDAMN team needs TWO runs to tie the game! How is giving away an out at this point from the second hitter in the batting order at all justifiable.
The only way a manager can justify it is by admitting that he made a mistake by batting that player second. Otherwise, it makes no sense whatsoever, a successful execution would've decreased run expectancy from 1.542 (with runners on first and second with none out) to 1.438 (with runners on second and third with one out) when the team needs it most.
The Statistics You Won't Believe
Yunel Escobar's first three at bats resulted in a groundout to Alex Gonzalez, the player he was traded for. During his fourth at bat, he produced a single through second and third base.
Coming into tonight's game, Atlanta Braves reliever Craig Kimbrel had 55 strikeouts in 36 innings. He faced three batters tonight and struck out all three. And not just any three either: Corey Patterson, Jose Bautista and Adam Lind.
Jose Bautista has only two extra base hits in his last nineteen games.
Tim Hudson threw four pitches to retire the side in third inning.
The Blue Jays grounded out to Alex Gonzalez nine times in total tonight.
Game time: two hours and twenty minutes.
Usually, this is reserved for Blue Jays relievers, but Craig Kimbrel coming into the game with two on and none out and the two, three and four hitter due up for Toronto deserves a special mention. His striking out of all three batters he faced increased his team's win probability by 27% and can most certainly be considered a shutdown (with an exclamation point).
Carefully Selected Quote Cliche Of The Game
From Baseball Prospectus, tonight I'll go with:
When it comes to my at-bats, I should have done a better job. He kept us off balance. You've just got to tip your cap. We had our chances through this lineup to get a hit. Opportunities are there, but we just haven't seen them get that hit.
Stray Observations Of The Game
I love Yunel Escobar, but he looked as though he was trying all game to do too much in his return to Atlanta. It didn't surprise me at all to see his error almost cost the Blue Jays a run, and in some way lead to Tim Hudson's home run being a two run shot. I liked that Hudson jokingly tossed his rosen bag at Escobar as he passed by in the first inning.
Remember that mystique, dare I say the swagger that Jose Bautista had through the first month or two of the season. It's not there anymore is it?
If anyone would like to suggest that Ricky Romero doesn't know how to pitch to the score, I'd like to suggest you let me hurl bricks at you.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Maintenance and Repair
charlesm Posts: 1Hi: Although I would not recommend that you drive with a faulty ESP, it could be dangerous, even in sunny Cal. It may not be the problem. I just got a MB trouble code reader and reset tool. You can get them on ebay for about $50. It will give you a diagnostic of what is wrong. And you'll be able to reset the warning..Then take it to someone who can fix it.. Everything for a Merc is expensive unfortunately... but its worth it.. I'm looking for a service light reset tool now. Merc want 400 Euro here for an A service (plus parts)..
jrct9454 Posts: 2,363Yes, the symbol is counting down to the required service. To reset it, you need the proper instructions, and any good MB shop knows how to do it. You presumably plan to have the car serviced somewhere, whether at a dealer or an independent - take it to them, tell them you need it reset, and promise to be back when the car needs its next service. The charge will be zero or minimal, and you can judge if this is a place that should get your business.
lawman1967 Posts: 314Stragely, the warning went off after another day of driving, and has not returned after 1,100 miles. I've since had a warning to check the right front marker lamp, which went away when I restarted the car, and a check engine light that went off after I refueled.
The check engine light I am not worried about, as the fuel tank was low and the light came on after a panic stop from 85MPH on a 6% downgrade. The freeway in front of me was closed suddenly due to a fatality accident and after coming to a screaching halt (extremely smooth and undramatic, by the way), the car sat for two hours on the downgrade waiting for the freeway to reopen, at whcih time I had the check engine light (car was shut off until the freeway opened). I tried openeing and closing the gas cap but to no avail, called the roadside assistance and they suggested adding fuel.
So far I love the car, it is the most comfortable and quiet cruiser I've ever driven, just nervous about electrical gremlins that these are famous for.
I do have one gremlin that the selling dealer (not MB) will cover repair of and that is that the sunshade in the back window doesn't work about 60% of the time. Sometimes I push the dash button and it works perfectly, sometimes it does absolutely nothing. I'll have this checked in 3,000 miles when I take the car to MB for my A service. Hopefully they can explain the ESP warning and other messages at that time.
My car's service history shows two electrical system services at 18,000 and 25,000 miles, so obviously this has occured before. -
jrct9454 Posts: 2,363I would not be surprised to learn that the wiring harness upgrade has not been accomplished on this car....these kind of seemingly random electronic "events" can be a symptom of this problem.
I've owned dozens of cars in my time, and our '02 C240 is our 14th MB - and there is nothing else out there at anything like the price that I would want more. Ours has been reasonably trouble-free - the wiring fix was the only thing that smelled like the ubiquitous electronic problems that so many people have had. In our case, the ESP messages could always be reset by shutting the engine off and restarting, and it only happened a few times, but twice in the last year so I told them to get out the Service Bulletin and apply the standard fix. No problems since. -
jjlarci Posts: 1After looking at MB's c230's and BMW's 325i's for 2006 and reading your message boards for problems on these cars. I like to ask which vehicle you recommend?. I know MB changed the engine to a 6cyl and MB is partly owned by Chrysler does this also impact my decision? If i sound like a dummy so be it but I like your expert opinion.
thanks -
jrct9454 Posts: 2,363The Chrysler connection is irrelevant [in any case, Daimler bought Chrysler, not the other way around - Chrysler is now technically a German company].
For this model year, and assuming you're talking about automatic transmission cars, it is almost a straight wash. The BMW is in its first year, and there are the usual list of first-year problems, though none of them are especially serious so far. The MB is in its 6th [and next-to-last] model year, though the drivetrains are heavily revised as of this year. The BMW handles better, the ride is probably a wash, and the MB has a bit more room in the cabin and the trunk. BMW has gone exclusively to run-flat tires, which for a variety of reasons I am unhappy about [expensive to replace, can't be fixed if you actually USE the run-flat feature]. MB has the worse reputation for problems, but that is mostly old news and simply doesn't apply to the current year car - the E90 BMW is in its first 9 months, and there are some teething problems.
If you want a manual trans, then I would probably go with the 325; by a small margin, I think their manual box is better.
Also keep in mind that the C230 comes standard with the so-called sports package, which is extra on the 325. That's why, for me, the car to have is the non-sports C280, not the C230, but to each their own. I think the sports package is nothing but problems - ride compromised, staggered tire sizes, unidirectional tires - but again, it's whatever your priorities are.
You'll hear a lot of bad-mouthing here about the C; I think the '06 version of the C matches up very nicely with the 3er. It comes down to how important that last bit of handling and "sportiness" of the BMW is to you vs the better refinement and slightly more room of the MB. And, what you think of the local dealers - this can easily be the tie-breaker is all else is equal in your mind - whichever one you pick, these cars are German, not Japanese, thus you and the dealer are inevitably going to spend some time together after the sale. I've had mostly good service from the MB dealerships I've dealt with [MB Sacramento, Reno, and Portland OR for our current car]; my history with BMW, which goes back a few years, was less good. It all depends on who's better in your market, and that's a hard thing to know in advance... -
lawman1967 Posts: 314Is this wiring harness TSP something that would be a free fix even after the factory warranty runs out? My car had two electrical system repairs while under warranty, so I'm wondering if I can get Mercedes to do the wiring harness upgrade on their dime when I bring it in for my A service in 3,000 miles.
jrct9454 Posts: 2,363Don't know - and I wouldn't wait. More time means a better reason for them to say no.
Technically, once out of warranty, you're out of luck, but dealers have the power to make these decisions, within reason. It's going to be up to you to make someone see reason, assuming this is the problem, of course.
It's a Service Bulletin, or a Service Campaign, or words to that effect....mention the ESP messages as the primary symptom. Because ESP is a safety feature, you may get more consideration out of warranty. -
dfc3 Posts: 87I'd go along with jrct9454 for the most part. It depends what's most important to you, but I don't think your comparison is apt. The MB C280 would trump the BMW 325i in my mind; but the 325i would trump the C230. The C280 is meant, I think, to be a competitor to the 325i (the C350 would compare to the 330i).
There are a few other things that weren't mentioned that are important to me. I believe the C280 is 3.5" narrower than the 325i - although that may have changed. I live in an urban area, and stuff like that is important to me. In addition the C280 has a slightly narrower turning radius; albeit not significant. I like to be able to make sharp turns.
These are subtleties, though. -
kcap67 Posts: 2I had a new battery installed, code doesn't work. My mechanic contacted Mercedes...got "another" code and still doesn't work. Mechanic tells me it will take 1/2 day to remove/re-install radio in order for them to get serial # of radio to give to dealer for yet another code. No radio for 3 weeks now...anyone have this problem? Any advice other than paying $65/hr for 5 hrs to remove radio/re-install????
rowlandj Posts: 254That amount of time to remove the radio is insane. The unit slips out of the dashboard after insertion of removal 'keys' into a few slots around the radio. From what I understand the unit can be out of the vehicle in about 5 minutes.
Try someone else for the job as this does not make any sense at all.
mwrogers1 Posts: 1I have a 2002 c240 sedan with 82,000 miles. Recently got a couple warning messages about "excessive oil level." Car was being driven on level ground. The message appeared briefly and then went away. Had an oil change a month ago. Similarly, over the summer I got a warning message once-in-awhile that said "check coolant level." I did and the level was fine each time I checked. Is the same defective sensor involved?

mbz66 Posts: 9We have similar foul odor problem from A/C vents. Our car is 2004 C230 Sport Sedan, purchased in May 2004 from MB dealer at Buena Park (CA).
The foul odor usually occurred within 15 to 30 minutes after there was a mode change in A/C operation - from OFF to ON, or vice versa.
In August 2005, the dealer replaced the A/C evaporator unit with a new one, coated with Biocide. After two weeks, the odor problem came back.
We have written to both the dealer and MBUSA. However, there has been no response from MBUSA. The dealer called and left message: "bring the car and we'll see what we can do".
The dealer did not offer any clues what they'd do to address the odor problem.
If other readers have had the A/C foul odor problem solved, we'd appreciate it if you can share your success stories. -
al240 Posts: 2
tony24 Posts: 15My c240 also had the odor problem and the dealer did the following A/C system wynn's Ultrasonic cleaning. I do not know if that will fix the problem because this is my second time with the odor issue. This is seems to be common problem with these cars from the articles that I have read. I am aware that the statement "common problem" is not a scientific conclusion but a mercedes benz should not have such a foul odor.

ka7tjo Posts: 4I HAVE A 2000 C230 KOMPRESSOR THAT I HAVE HAD FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AND WHEN I FIRST GOT IT IT SEEMED A LITTLE GUTLESS ON THE BOTTOM END BUT AFTER A LONG TRIP I TOOK SOME WHERE ALONG THE ROAD IT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO RUN LIKE IT SHOULD. A WEEK AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE THE GAS TANK SENSOR WENT BAD AND I HAD IT REPLACED. AT THIS POINT I NOTICED I HAD NO POWER ON THE LOWER END LIKE THE KOMPRESSOR WAS NOT WORKING AGAIN. ANY BODY HAVE ANY IDEAS? DON'T THINK THE SENSOR HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. HOW DO YOU CHECK THE COMPRESSOR?
cdurst Posts: 10We have a 2003 C240 that has a ticking when we acellerate. (Sounds like a card in the spokes of a bicycle wheel.) It does not do it all the time. The dealer did some work on the lifters and cam (Starmark warranty) but it seems to still do it after driving for some time. Any suggestions. Thank you.
jensbenz Posts: 2Has anyone experienced a low grunting-whining noise from steering? (sounds like "wurrr-wurrr" when the wheel is turned)It has been extremely cold and I'm wondering if this is the cause as the noise started occuring soon after the drop in temp. The steering function has not been comprimised. Is this normal?
