Nursing »
Why a BSN?
You can become a Registered Nurse after you earn an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN). Why is it worth the extra time and study to receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)?
In a word - Opportunity.
A BSN is superior to an Associate degree in that it gives you the opportunity to create a nursing career that can be rewarding across a lifetime of work. More opportunities for advancement are available when you earn your BSN, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Some career paths are open only to nurses holding a Baccalaureate degree. A BSN is a prerequisite for admission to graduate nursing programs in research, consulting and teaching. Four of the most prestigious and highest-paid nursing specialties - clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, and nurse practitioners - require their candidates to have a bachelor's degree.
- The BSN becomes especially necessary if you ever decide you want to pursue an administrative or teaching position, which for many in the nursing field becomes a way of extending their careers past the age where the physical demands of direct patient care become uncomfortable and could present a hazard.
- In a competitive employment market, the Registered Nurse who has earned a BSN has a recognized advantage over a job candidate with an Associates degree, an advantage that could make the difference between landing that sought-after position and being passed over for a better qualified applicant.
- The curriculum you encounter while pursuing your BSN will go beyond the teaching of clinical skills. You will receive crucial training in key areas like communication, leadership and critical thinking - enhanced knowledge that will become ever more valuable in the complex and changing future of health care delivery.
Read the June 23, 2012 NY Times article online.
A Bachelor of Science in Nursing is your ticket to career satisfaction and security that can last a lifetime.

The Vapor-X series is one of Sapphire's main lines when it comes to offering performance graphics cards. With the main focus being on cooling thanks to a completely new cooler, when compared to the stock one we've seen the series perform well, not only recently but ever since its introduction.
Recently we had a chance to look at the HD 5750 and HD 5870 Vapor-X models. After looking at both of them there was a clear hole in the middle with the much loved HD 5770 and HD 5850 not being part of the lineup.
The good news is that the HD 5770 has now joined the Vapor-X series and if the whispers we're hearing are anything to go by, the HD 5850 shouldn't be all that far away either.
So let's take a look at the package of the HD 5770 Vapor-X before having a closer look at the card and the cooler it carries. Then we'll have a look at the specifications and get stuck into the benchmarks to see just how the model performs.

The View From Here
Edinburgh Film Festival -- the pre-blog!
Tomorrow, I'm off to the Edinburgh Film Festival. I've got loads of fond memories of previous years -- many of them, I have to admit, caught up in Scotland's marvellous, forward-thinking policy towards pub opening times -- but this year's festival promises a bundle of fine films.
I'm particularly looking forward to seeing I'm A Cyborg But That's OK -- a rom-com as only Oldboy director Chan Park-wook can deliver -- Gus Van Sant's Paranoid Park, and something called Ex-Drummer, about three drug-addled, disabled punk rock musicians' search for a drummer.
There's a flavour on a previous Edinburgh blog of what else to expect this year.
Oh, and if I have time I'll slip off to the other festival to catch Nicholas Parsons' Happy Hour. As a huge fan of Radio 4's Just A Minute, I can't wait to see the great man live.
But, of course -- film comes first, and I'll be blogging at least once a day from tomorrow through to the weekend, about what I've seen, what parties I've blagged into, and all the latest news and gossip from the Royal Mile.

The big bad A4U Expo wrapup post
18 Responses to The big bad A4U Expo wrapup post
You really can write for England:)
Well done…great overview.
Pingback: A4U photos | Doug's mouthpiece
Hi Kieron,
I got a lot out of A4U and it was good to catch up with you and other twitter users!
I'm chuffed you think I'm an SEO – I haven't the faintest idea what Dave and Dixon are on about most of the time. Great to meet you at last and catch up soon!
Great summarisation of the expo Kieron. Real pleasure to catch up with you there.
I thoroughly enjoyed the SEO sessions, though, like some others have commented elsewhere, there was too much glorification of black hat cheating by some of the panellists which I throught was disappointing.
The names of these pop groups get stranger by the year. There used by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Now I see you're listening to "Ne-Yo ft Jadakiss – �By My Side�"
thoroughly enjoyed my time at the conference being a first timer!
attended some excellent presentations (e.g. Mark Russell & Keith Budden on incentivising affiliates and Duncan Jennings on ppc) and also some ropey ones (e.g writing paragraphs of text on presentation slides)!
will defo look forward to next year!
Pingback: A4Uexpo was a blast! | Roy Huiskes . com
Pingback: Making An Exhibition Of Ourselves | pfft
Hi Kieron,
I was a great Pleasure to see you in the "meet the super affiliate" session.
How can I contact you for more personal discussion.
Yes, I know I'm a Bully, Yet shy sometimes
BTW – Great Blog!
Emil -
Thanks for the wrap-up. Looks like you guys enjoyed the expo.
Pingback: Reflecting on the a4u expo experience (and a few session notes) » Self Made Minds
I thought this year's a4u Expo was good, but not great. I found the SEO sessions especially useful and have already put some of the tips into practice, with the rest on my to-do list.
One thing I do find off putting though is how clichy a lot of the 'super' affiliates are. There seem to be a lot of in-jokes that whilst it's fun to observe the banter, I'm sure may intimidate a lot of newbies and alienates the rest of us.
I think Gadget's post about "cliquey" super affiliates is an interesting one. I don't think it's cliquey per se, and it was the same in some of the SEO seminars as there was a lot of in-jokes and esoteric uses of terms and people in the industry e.g. talking about Matt (Cutts – of Google) etc assuming everyone would know who they were.
I think it's difficult for the speakers to be all things to all people as you have a mix of newbies and people who have been involved for a lot longer so I would guess it's difficult to find a level to pitch the session at without alienating the different groups of listeners.
I didn't think it was as good as last years, but still worth it. Some really good presentations and some decidedly iffy ones. I'm learning to avoid the self-styled gurus which helps.
The venue is pretty ropey and could it be in a worse place – I thought my DLR days were long gone.
I think gadget is correct with some of the Clique-iness..
and as one speaker said to me in private "You won't see the real Super Affiliates at a conference like this, they're sat in their mommas basements raking in the cash!"

From BEAM Robotics Wiki
(Redirected from Processed)
We apologize for the need to display ads on this wiki. But somehow we must pay for hosting.
In BEAM robotics this generally refers to utilizing BEAM neurons, networks and circuits to interpret, and manipulate signals and to use the results to influence the behavior of other BEAM neurons, networks and circuits, and ultimately BEAMrobots.
The kinds of signals that are processed include those from sensors, other neurons, microcontrollers (see: Horse and Rider) and/or similar sources.
Processing techniques that have been used by BEAMers include filtering, timing, and even storing (in some relatively simple form) certain events, relationships, and/or sucessful responses to particular conditions See: Bruce Robinson's Learning Robots.

The Queue: The one with a pun {WoW}
Jul 27th 2011 11:33AM A couple of months ago my raid team zoned back into SW and we noticed trade district was on fire. The guys who hadn't gotten their achievement yet flew over there and got it. I didn't see Deathwing, just fire. Maybe it was a fluke?
The Queue: The one with a pun {WoW}
Jul 27th 2011 11:30AM I was watching a friend taming the spider in the cave with the runes. He was almost done when a pally of the other faction taunted it and killed it. People really suck sometimes.
The Queue: Day Man {WoW}
May 17th 2011 1:13PM Yessss omg yes, thank you for the picture. I saw the show live in Philly last year- fantastic show.
If you don't know what it's from, do yourself a favor and YouTube It's Always Sunny Day Man.
I started the song in /trade one time and squeed when someone continued it.
The Queue: Huggbees {WoW}
May 9th 2011 11:48AM I'd love the idea of being able to leave a comment when replying "tentative" to a raid. Would Blizz ever allow something like this?
Sometimes a couple of my raiders become extremely busy during the week and reply tentative to the raid and I'm not able to talk to them. Do you need the raid pushed back a half hour or something? I'd love to know in advance without trying to track them down and a quick comment would be fantastic!
(I realize a guild site would be great for this but we're still trying to get ours up and running.)
Breakfast Topic: What brings people back to WoW? {WoW}
May 9th 2011 8:57AM I haven't quit yet but if I did and returned, it would be because of the friendships I've made and of course, I actually enjoy the game. Maybe that's why I haven't quit :)
A lot of my friends have quit since Cata came out, I hope they come back.
Breakfast Topic: When other players become other people {WoW}
Apr 26th 2011 8:22AM Oh, for sure. I'm fb friends with several people I know strictly from WoW and even text a few. None of my IRL girlfriends play it so sometimes I can relate to my WoW friends more. It's nice.
The Queue: Almost our celestial anniversary {WoW}
Apr 13th 2011 11:25AM Might be a dumb question, but how do you know a bot when you see one? Is there anything different from just the farming itself? Perhaps a gibberish name?
Breakfast Topic: What haven't you gotten around to doing yet? {WoW}
Apr 11th 2011 10:16AM Wow. Well I was originally going to say I haven't done much but after reading these comments, I guess I have. Got my Defender of a Shattered World title yesterday, I've won about 30 TBs, slowly getting through some old world zones, started arenas for the first time, I have 14 arch rares complete, etc. I'm a dork I guess.
Things I haven't done yet:
Win each BG
Have a second max-level toon (ever)
Get loremaster
Finish up 100 mounts
50 exalted reps
Etc etc
The Classifieds: Keep plugging away for guild recruitment {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2011 3:42PM After raiding with the same core group of people for a couple of weeks, I ended up joining the new guild they had formed to get more serious. We're almost lvl 5, which is nothing to brag about I know, but we're already 10/12 and planning on doing old content to keep gaining xp. We're now recruiting for a second 10-man because we have that much interest within the guild.
I was a bit worried too but it helps when you have people willing to start from the ground up. Sometimes it's worth the risk :)
The Queue: Cats dot jpg {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2011 11:25AM I apologize if this has been asked before. Does the Random Dungeon Finder look first within your server, then battlegroup then all for players?

This morning I was going to write to you the poem I composed in my sleep, about a sumptuous breakfast of bacon and eggs. You would have loved it, I'm sure: my lavish attention to detail, my dry wit and melancholy, my clever cadence. Yet now it seems so futile.

It's been thirteen years since we started Odopod.
We've always wanted one thing: to do the best work of our lives. Along the way, we have been joined by an eclectic and exceptionally talented bunch of people who wanted the same thing. Together, we've built a company we love.
Two years ago, Odopod was acquired by Nurun.
The acquisition was a validation of everything we had built. It was also a catalyst for some big changes we wanted to make. We began to tackle bigger, thornier problems and to work all over the world. With Nurun, we've had a series of huge wins and have been producing our best work yet.
That's why we recently decided to retire the Odopod brand, formally adopt Nurun as our name, and take the reins of Nurun's US operations.
We're all still here—same team with the same appetite for great work, only now with different e-mail addresses and more frequent flyer miles. And we're growing, so send your talented friends our way.

Arthroscopy - This method for diagnosis and treatment involves the use of an arthroscope to view the interior of the joint and examine and fix issues such as damaged cartilage and ligaments. The
advantages of this procedure over typical surgical procedures include:
- Minimally Invasive
- Reduced Recovery Time
- Less Scarring
- Does Not Require Fully Opening the Joint or
The most typical joints that an arthroscopy is used for include the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, foot, and wrist.
Arthroplasty – With this method of treatment the affected joint is repaired through replacement, remodeling, or realignment. In many cases this requires replacement with prosthesis such as polythene or many other materials. In this area our orthopaedic specialists also utilize minimally invasive techniques.

Namikawa M et al. – The assessment of serum HCV–RNA FW + 12, using the highly sensitive real–time PCR assay, is almost as effective as FW + 24 to predict sustained virological response (SVR). There are false negatives in female patients with a high viral load of genotype Ib when the SVR is predicted by FW + 12. The current standard with FW + 24 is reasonable, but the assessment of serum HCV–RNA FW + 12 may be effective in most patients.
Methods- 222 patients with chronic hepatitis C were included in this study.
- Pegylated interferon (Peg–IFN) and ribavirin were administered for 24–72 weeks based on the genotype and viral load.
- Serum HCV–RNA was measured using real–time PCR at pretreatment, the end of treatment, FW + 4, FW + 8, FW + 12, FW + 16, FW+20 and FW+24.
- 200 patients had a virological response at the end of treatment.
- 148 of 200 (74.0%) patients with a virological response at the end of treatment had an SVR at the FW + 24.
- The positive predictive value (PPV) to identify patients with SVR at FW + 4, FW + 8, FW + 12 was 87.1, 96.1, 98.0%, respectively.
- The viral load showed a reversion to the basal level as early as 8 weeks in relapse patients.
- There were only 3 patients who relapsed after FW + 12 and all 3 of these patients were females with genotype Ib and a high viral load.

One of the most motivating art journalists I've come across is Donna Downey…..now, this girl is SERIOUSLY busy, so we're feeling VERY privileged to be able to share with you her inspiring words today….enjoy!
Art is definitely my life - & for that I could blame my kids! You see, the urge to create struck when I had them…I began scrapbooking so that I could illustrate my memories of all 3 of them in a unique way. From there, much of my journey was chance – truly! I was lucky enough being in the right place at the right time. Firstly, I started submitting my work to mags & I got published.
Then becoming a columnist for Simple Scrapbooks magazine [now Creating Keepsakes mag] allowed me to start traveling the world teaching my art. Of course, my skills & how I liked to create was changing as time went by. At this time, I started developing my first mixed-media scrapbooking line with Prima, & soon after I launched my online website starring all my fave products.
Somehow, it seemed a natural progression from that to hosting a yearly art event …& now we've opened my very own 'bricks & mortar' store, Donna Downey Studios, where I have my art gallery & also offer workshops thru the year….when we're not on the road, which is quite a LOT!
Also, I've have developing a range of rubber stamps with Unity Stamp Company, & I'm really enjoying that partnership.
As well, I do some art licensing in the gift industry where I have a line of home decor, journals, aprons, pillows etc.
You know, most of my product lines start because it's been stuff I wanted to use myself, in my own creative process. And I think that's really important. These things ARE Donna Downey. They're things I feel passionate about & I think that's why they work! A good example of that is Pan Pastels – a fabulous mixed media material - which I've also been collaborating on atm.
My favourite products seem to constantly change as my art changes. However I always need my:
- Paint brushes
- Golden acrylic paints
- Pan Pastels
- Canvases
- Gelatos
I find inspiration in simple moments throughout the day. That's why I think scrapbooks and art journals are perfect ways of expressing yourself artistically.
I always say "All things material can be creatively transformed into a personal piece of artistic interpretation." I really believe that creativity is not a measure of skill, but of passion…you've got to LOVE what you do. I do!
I wanted to bring these artists and a bit of their culture to a more global venue and I couldn't think of anything more global than the internet.
So, I asked 4 very talented artists to accompany me in this first workshop in the series.
I shipped each artist a big box of my products and asked them to video record their creative process. For some this was their first time in front of the camera; for others it was old hat…their only instruction was that they had to use some part of every product in the box.
How did this go?
With no limitations on their creative styles, additional products or finished result, the results were authentically beautifully representing each artist and showcasing their stylistic niches. I watched each artist create, absolutely in awe of their creative process and how they transformed my products.
This was truly inspiring & I am very proud of the results. Each artist's video is around 1.5 – 2 hours in length & it's a great jump start for your own creativity.

Review: #Square Make Square Photo is a stylish, fast photo editor for Instagram
Crop and resize photos on the go using this good-looking image editor.
#Square Make Square Photo offers plenty of good looks and quick performance if you need to quickly make your photos square sized. While it does a good job of cropping and resizing, it doesn't have any advanced filters or recoloring features. However, if you don't need those, this app is still one of the nicer photo editors in terms of ease of use. You'll find it especially useful if you frequently post photos on Instagram.
#Square Make Square Photo can edit any picture already on your phone or tablet, but lets you take pictures from inside of the app, as well. The app's menus are very stylish and allow the app to process your edits, instantaneously. Once you're done editing, you can share the picture on multiple social networks right from the app or save it to your Android device -- but you can't choose your own folder unless you pay for the premium version of the app. While the app crops and rotates photos well, it's missing brightness, saturation, and other controls you'd probably expect from a photo-editing app. There aren't even any stickers or tools for adding text to your photo, which could be a deal breaker for most photo-editing fans.
While #Square Make Square Photo has all of the polish and speed of a five-star app, it doesn't offer enough in terms of features. Give it a try if you only need to crop your photos, as you'll appreciate its abundant style.

It's not Oxbridge that's the national disgrace, Dave
This is a guest post by Andy McGowan, Access Officer at Cambridge University Students' Union
So Nick and Dave are at it again – and I don't just mean making embarrassing slips of the tongue like this one. They've also gone back to having a go at easy targets as a smokescreen for their own failures – in this case the number of black students admitted to Oxford.
As someone who has worked in widening participation for the past four years, I am obviously keen to see more bright students from under-represented backgrounds get the opportunity to study at Cambridge or Oxford. As a first-generation law graduate labelled by some student journalists as the "free school meals kid", I am also very keen to see more students from ethnic minority and poor backgrounds do well in life. Under-representation, however, does not automatically mean that the institution is the one to blame.
Let's look at the issue of wealth. On average, the University of Cambridge admits around 22 students each year who were eligible for free school meals. This is out of just under 3500 UK students admitted each year. Cue shouts of "shame on Cambridge – Cambridge obviously hates poor students". At first glance, those numbers do look rather damning, but if you look at the issue of educational achievement amongst the poorest students on a bigger scale (think mosaic as opposed to postage stamp), the picture looks rather different. In 2008, only 160 students who were eligible for free school meals achieved 3 As nationally – that is out of around 30,000 students nationally who achieved AAA.
Shadow Higher Education MinisterDavid Lammy recently waded into the debate as well, and drew unfavourable comparisons between Oxbridge and the likes of Harvard and Yale. He mentions the fact that at Harvard (which he actually calls Yale), 'no one with a household income of under $60,000 [pays] a dime in tuition or cost of living'. He seems to be suggesting that Oxbridge should do the same. Harvard's financial support costs "a record-breaking $160 million", which is about the same amount of money that will be generated when every single home undergraduate at Cambridge is charged £9000 a year (£95 million). Yes, Oxbridge have their endowments, but they are peanuts when compared to their Ivy League counterparts. The other way in which Harvard et al get their income is by charging the other 80% of non-eligible students much higher fees ($56,000 a year), and the average parental contribution is $11,400 per year per student. So unless he is all of a sudden advocating removing the cap on fees (which I sincerely hope he isn't) or unless he knows of a huge pot of money that no-one else has found, it is rather unrealistic to assume that Oxbridge can all of a sudden do financial support the American way.
Lammy also seems to imply that Oxbridge should again 'do as the Americans do' by writing to every student from low-participating neighbourhoods who gets, for example, 3 As at AS Level. On the face of it, it sounds like a great idea – invite them along to an open day, give them details about how to apply, maybe even offer some e-mentoring. But like all ingenious plans that have yet to be enacted, there is a fundamental flaw – how exactly are the universities supposed to know which individual students from these backgrounds have got these high grades, without breaching the Data Protection Act? Once again, unless he knows something we don't, it's a bit unfair to expect Cambridge and Oxford (or indeed any university) to facilitate the breaking of the law, even if it is in the name of access.
As with students from poor backgrounds, there is again an issue of prior academic achievement impacting on ethnic minority students when it comes to university admissions. But this can't just be labelled as a general "ethnic minority" issue. For example, if we look at Black students, UCAS data shows that fewer than 9% of Black students achieved 360 UCAS Tariff points or more (as opposed to 33% of Asian students). This means that Black students account for just 1.2% of degree applicants who secure AAA at A Level.
Where are the politicians calling these damning statistics on A Level performance, careers advice and inequality of attainment at secondary and primary education "a disgrace"? Where are the politicians questioning why 80% of students eligible for free school meals don't get the GCSEs that many sixth form colleges require, let alone universities? And where are the politicians who are asking why, in 2011, your socio-economic background is still the biggest indicator of your likely educational journey? Positive discrimination, widespread use of differential offers and quotas are all methods that have been bandied around for years as a way of increasing representation of the under-represented, yet these would just be the plaster covering the bullet hole of educational inequality. Everyone knows they don't solve the bigger problem and everyone knows that we need bigger action, But time and again we go for the plaster anyway.
Universities have a huge role to play in raising aspirations amongst students from a younger age and encouraging applications from a diverse range of students, but they cannot do it alone. Politicians constantly saying "naughty old Oxbridge" without the slightest bit of context (or sometimes even evidence) does not help in the slightest – all it does it cement perceptions about the "type" of student who goes to these universities. Instead, they need to be tackling the issue of low attainment, often triggered by low aspirations, amongst those from under-represented backgrounds. This is not about forcing students down one route or another, or claiming that one type of educational journey is less worthy than other. Rather, this should be ensuring that decisions about what and where to study are based on what is best for the individual student, not their gender, race or family income. It should be opening doors rather than shutting them off and it should be about promoting the opportunities available, rather than trying to grab easy headlines.
So yes, I do want to see more money going into outreach work with those schools who never send any students to Oxford and Cambridge; yes, I want to see Cambridge using creative ways to reach out to bright students through engagement with charitable organisations and local community groups as well as schools; yes, I do want to see more universities looking at more than just raw grades and instead consider the potential of the individual by looking at the environment in which those grades were obtained. But it is also time for the Government to up their game. Instead, what they've done so far is scrap EMA, treble tuition fees, and abolish AimHigher. So rather than the inevitable headline-grabbing finger-pointing at universities, let's see their master plan for eradicating educational inequality, because frankly, it is their actions and their complete failure to deal with the bigger issue of educational inequality which are the 'disgrace'.

This is a measure of the maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the RDAC transfer function. It is expressed in LSBs. In other words, for a nonlinear device, the differences between heights of adjacent values are not equal.
In-phase and Quadrature - A modulation technique whereby signal information is derived from a carrier frequency at its 0° and 90° phase angles.
I/O modules are the primary constituents of controller modules. They are available as analog input and output modules, and digital input and output modules. The analog modules measure (input) or transmit (output) either voltage and/or current. Analog input modules can also measure RTD and thermocouple sensors. Along with I/O modules, there are also CPU modules and communications modules in the controller system.
This modulation technique creates I(in phase) and Q(quadrature components by mixing the input RF signal with a 0° and 90° phase offset version of the carrier or pre-determined mixing frequency. This enables the waveform to be represented in terms of both phase and amplitude. The transmitted signal is then captured through down-conversion and to re-create the original signal.

It enables military and national (civilian-located ATC) interrogation systems to identify aircraft, vehicles or forces as friendly and to determine their bearing and range from the interrogator.

IEC61508 is an international functional safety standard targeted at all industries with its origins in process control. The assessment and reduction of risk in industrial systems is central to the standard. Risk is defined as a function of the likelihood of a hazardous event and the severity of the consequences of such an event. The risk can be reduced to a tolerable level by doing a safety analysis and applying safety functions.
Image stabilization is a technique used to decrease image blurriness and is enabled by using gyroscope technology. It is often used when compensating for camera vibration (shaking).
Response of the device to a digital impulse applied at the input. Typically used to characterize interpolation filters.
Industrial Ethernet is based on the standard Ethernet computer network technology but tuned for use in an industrial environment for automation and process control. Compared to incumbent Fieldbus solutions, Industrial Ethernet reduces the cost and improves the performance of communications between industrial controllers. It is faster, easier to configure and enables a more expandable network. There are three major Industrial Ethernet protocols in use today; Profinet, Ethernet I/P, and EtherCAT.
Inertia is the resistance of an object to change its state of motion.
An IMU senses motion — including the type, rate, and direction of that motion — using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes.
An inertial navigation system (INS) is a navigation aid that uses a computer, motion sensors (accelerometers) and rotation sensors (gyroscopes) to continuously calculate via dead reckoning the position, orientation, and velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object without the need for external references. It is used on vehicles such as ships, aircraft, submarines, guided missiles, and spacecraft. INS is often used so that systems in flight can operate autonomously to complete a mission without being confused by jamming or disabling of external navigation aids
An inertial sensor is an instrument that uses the principles of inertia to perform measurement. An accelerometer, for example, compares the motion of a mass fixed to the accelerating object, and a suspended mass. The fixed mass moves with an accelerating object, but the response of the suspended mass lags due to its inertia or resistance to change. The difference in motion can be related to the object's acceleration.
The current flowing into or out of the inverting and non-inverting input terminals.
The proportional change in input bias current vs. temperature. Given as a value in the data sheet over the specified temperature range.
The difference between the two input bias currents.
The ratio of change in input offset voltage to a change in temperature.
The input voltage noise is the internal rms voltage noise of an amplifier, with no input signal, that appears at the output divided by the gain of the amplifier. It is dependent on the bandwidth so it is specified in volts per square root Hertz (nV/√Hz).
More commonly associated with ADCs, bandwidth is the input frequency range over which an ADC can be operated before its transfer function causes the digitized output to decrease in amplitude by 3 dB when the input remains constant. Bandwidth is usually specified under two conditions: with a full scale input signal and with a small scale input signal.
Integral nonlinearity (INL) is a measure of the maximum deviation in a converter's transfer function, from a straight line passing through negative full-scale and positive full-scale. Measured in LSBs, INL is generally considered to be one of the important measure of a converter's DC performance.
When two or more signals of different frequencies are converted, IMD is a measure of the creation of unwanted new frequency components that are not found in the original signals.
If the digital inputs to the DAC are sampled at a multiple rate of fDATA (interpolation rate), a digital filter can be constructed that has a sharp transition band near fDATA/2. Images that would typically appear around fDAC (output data rate) can be greatly suppressed.
Interpolation refers to the process of converting a sampled digital signal (such as a sampled audio signal) to an effective higher sampling rate using various digital filtering techniques to "fill-in" missing data. Decimation is a technique for reducing the effective sampling rate in a discrete-time signal by discarding every Nth sample.
Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for safe operation applied to the design of electronic equipment in explosive atmospheres and under irregular operating conditions. The concept was developed for safe operation of process control field instruments in hazardous areas, particularly oil and gas platforms and chemical plants.
An isolator is a device that separates two electrical systems for safety or circuit functional requirements.

Facts about Cosmo
- Breed: American Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
My name is Cosmo!
Cosmo's Info...
Meet Cosmo - Cosmo is a male short haired black and grey tabby with white markings. He and his siblings were orphaned in March 2012 when they were 5-6 weeks old. They were discovered in a piece of sewer pipe. Residents waited several days hoping mom would show up to nurse them but no signs of momma.
Cosmo is neutered, current on all vaccines, and is negative for FIV and FELV. He is playful, sweet and great with dogs. He is a major purr machines who seeks human and canine attention.
For more information, contact Sylvia at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About Barrio Dogs, Inc.
About Our Rescue Group...
First, the Barrio Dogs Youth and Paws (YAP) Program provides visits to elementary, middle and high schools featuring educational presentations, bilingual literature, guest speaker discussions, and an occasional visit by a rescued and rehabilitated dog. Also, Barrio Dogs Tales to Tails reading program helps children increase their confident and fluency in reading through one-on-one story telling sessions with a Rescue Education Ambassador Dog (R.E.A.D).Second, the Barrio Dogs Therapy Program involves healthy, gentle-natured rescue dogs giving back to communities by visiting local nursing homes, children's homeless shelters, and hospitals to bring comfort and encouragement to people in need.
Third, the Barrio Watch Dog Program will empower residents to recognize that animal neglect and abuse is a crime. With the Barrio Watch Dog Program, we aim to raise awareness of abuse in these communities, educate regarding standard and lawful animal care, and transform ignorance into action by reporting abuse. In particular, we aim to create intolerance of dogs chained to trees, animals locked in kennels, breeding and raising animals to sell, and dog-fighting culture.
Fourth, the Barrio Dogs for Better Communities is dedicated to creating a new narrative for dog owners, by providing an opportunity for a better quality of animal care in these low income areas. Fortunately, neglect is often unintentional as owners do love their companion animals, but often do not have the economic means for ideal animal care. For example, many dogs are chained due to the lack of appropriate fences. Barrio Dogs seeks to identify these owners to provide them with Freedom Fences, so they may unchain their pet, creating better pets and better communities.
Currently, the sad reality is that rescue work is unavoidable, because there are so many animals being neglected, abused or otherwise homeless in our communities. Due to the lack of a full-time staff or physical location, Barrio Dogs cannot serve as "first responders" for emergent cases of animal cruelty or rescue. We aim to provide information and other resources to the community, through our outreach and educational interventions, to encourage residents to take charge and be their own hero. By working together, everyday people can transform Houston's inner city low income communities.
We appreciate your donations and support. Barrio Dogs is a 501c3.

Canyon Carvers
Since the 1960s, sporty Buicks have been rare. In fact, the last one with any heat under the hood was the turbocharged, 276-hp GNX24 years ago. The new Regal, also turbocharged, promises to change that.
On paper, the American stallion should have the edge from stoplight to stoplight. But even though the Regal packs 258 lb-ft of torque71 lb-ft more than the G25it beats the Infiniti by a mere .21 seconds from 0 to 60 mph. Still, the 220-hp Buick feels quicker, and we dig listening to the snorty turbo as it whistles and pops. The Buick's engine is the rebellious punk of this pair, a radical that also returns an excellent 27.1 mpg. Meanwhile, the Infiniti's 218-hp, 2.5-liter V6 is as exciting as a college professor's cardigan. Sure, it's velvety smooth and quiet (study hall, anyone?), but it left us wanting for torque and good, old-fashioned fun when we tried to wind it up. Out in the canyons, the G25 shines. The chassis is fluid and balanced. It feels solid, like it could take the corner-carving punishment all day. The G25 uses the same basic chassis as the Nissan 370Z sports carno wonder it moves so well. But you've got to keep that little V6 above 4500 rpmand make sure the transmission is in the manual modeor else the whole powertrain feels lethargic, as if every gear, rod and piston is coated not with some magical Lucas lubricant but with Elmer's Glue.
The Buick requires more work to drive fast, but, man, does it hustle. There's a lot of grip and razor-sharp turn-in from the 19-inch tires, and the torque reserve allows you to merely toe the throttle to set up for the next turn. It's a thrilling ride but ultimately less substantial-feeling than the Infiniti. The Regal creaks and groans over rough pavement; it's as if Buick had used a thinner grade of steel in its chassis. The Regal's steering and braking require little effort and are thus difficult to operate precisely. The Buick also seems to work hard to maintain its running speed, which the Infiniti does effortlessly.
Ultimately, the Regal has a higher fun factor, but the Infiniti, which has more significant bearing and pays better attention to detail, is more rewarding. Inside, for instance, the Infiniti is sharp and well-crafted. The Buick wears an attractive gauge cluster and splashes of tasteful chrome, but some of the trim feels less securely affixed than in the Infiniti; it's as if the Buick's fasteners could have used an extra quarter turn of the wrench on the assembly line. On a more important note, the Regal's infotainment system is so incredibly frustrating to use that we defaulted to iPhone navigation to get home one night.
In this battle the Buick gamely fought. The drivetrain was frisky and entertaining, the chassis athletic. Also, the Regal's crisply tailored design makes it the best-looking domestic sedan on the market. But the Infiniti simply handles better, is more polished and feels more expensive despite costing slightly less as tested. This was a heated contest, but the G25 refuses to surrender the sport-sedan throne to the Regal.

Bar managers schedule the weekly shifts, supervise workers and oversee the ordering of liquor. And, in a pinch, they may pitch in behind the bar.
In addition to their weekly salaries, some managers receive a share of all the tips collected.
Like many hospitality jobs, income varies greatly with the success of the business and the prices they charge. A bar manager in a high-end restaurant can easily earn six figures, according to PayScale.

Teaching assistants: Support in action
Teaching assistants, and similar learning support staff, are a substantial part of a workforce that spans the public sector. They are sometimes referred to as 'paraprofessionals' – workers who supplement and support the work of qualified professionals. We would argue, however, that teaching assistants have a distinct professionalism themselves which often overlaps with and which is comparable to that of teachers. Since first being introduced into in the 1960s as 'aides', 'helpers' and 'auxiliaries', teaching assistants have become essential to children's learning in primary schools across the UK and further afield. Whatever your learning support role in schools may be, you are part of this historic development.
For convenience, we have adopted the generic term 'teaching assistant' throughout this unit. We use these words in preference to 'TAs', which, we feel, is reducing of status. 'Teaching assistant' is currently the preferred term of government but there are many others in use across the UK. We therefore use 'teaching assistant' to refer to the various kinds of volunteer and paid adult (other than qualified teachers) who provide learning support to primary aged children in the UK.
A central feature of the teaching assistant workforce is its considerable diversity – in terms not only of titles and linked responsibilities but also of previous experience, formal qualifications, in-service training opportunities, ways of working and skills for carrying out support work. The recruitment of paid assistants and volunteers has brought into schools a range of adults in addition to qualified teachers, with much to offer children. Their work enhances children's experience of learning in school. This unit aims to reflect this diversity and to encourage you to think about your part in the many roles that teaching assistants can play.
One interesting feature of the teaching assistant workforce is the extent to which it is overwhelmingly female. Why are women, especially many who are mothers, drawn to this work, and why are there so few men? This is one of the themes you will explore in this unit.
As with teachers and their work, teaching assistants require many skills for working with children, and there is often more than one way of being effective. Later in this unit we examine the approach of one teaching assistant, Caroline Higham, and consider how she collaborates with a class teacher and brings her distinctive practice to a maths lesson.
Teaching assistants are a very significant and essential resource in primary classrooms, so much so that it is hard to imagine how schools could manage without them.
