Euler, Leonhard
Euler, Leonhard
biographical name(born April 15, 1707, Basel, Switz.died Sept. 18, 1783, St. Petersburg, Russia) Swiss mathematician. In 1733 he succeeded Daniel Bernoulli (see Bernoulli family) at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. There he developed the theory of trigonometric and logarithmic functions and advanced mathematics generally. Under the patronage of Frederick the Great, he worked at the Berlin Academy for many years (1744–66), where he developed the concept of function in mathematical analysis and discovered the imaginary logarithms of negative numbers. Throughout his life he was interested in number theory. In addition to inspiring the use of arithmetic terms in writing mathematics and physics, Euler introduced many symbols that became standard, including for summation; n for the sum of divisors of n; e for the base of the natural logarithm; a, b, and c for the sides of a triangle with A, B, and C for the opposite angles; f(x) for a function; for the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle; and i for . He is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
8 Hark, your watchmen lift up their voice, together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the return of the LORD to Zion. | 8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the LORD returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes. |
9 Break forth together into singing, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. | 9 Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. |
10 The LORD has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. | 10 The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God. |
11 Depart, depart, go out thence, touch no unclean thing; go out from the midst of her, purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels of the LORD. | 11 Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure, you who carry the vessels of the LORD. |
12 For you shall not go out in haste, and you shall not go in flight, for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard. | 12 But you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the LORD will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard. |
13 Behold, my servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. | 13 See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. |
14 As many were astonished at him--his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the sons of men-- | 14 Just as there were many who were appalled at him-- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-- |
15 so shall he startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which has not been told them they shall see, and that which they have not heard they shall understand. | 15 so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
RUSSIA - Medvedev: Russia may target US missile shield
Released on 2012-10-11 16:00 GMT

MOSCOW (AP) - Russia's president threatened on Wednesday to deploy
missiles to target the U.S. missile shield in Europe if Washington fails
to assuage Moscow's concerns about its plans, a harsh warning that
reflected deep cracks in U.S.-Russian ties despite President Barack
Obama's efforts to "reset" relations with the Kremlin.
Dmitry Medvedev said he still hopes for a deal with the U.S. on missile
defense, but he strongly accused Washington and its NATO allies of
ignoring Russia's worries. He said that Russia will have to take military
countermeasures if the U.S. continues to build the shield without legal
guarantees that it will not be aimed against Russia.
The U.S. has repeatedly assured Russia that its proposed missile defense
system wouldn't be directed against Russia's nuclear forces, and the
Pentagon did that again Wednesday.
"I do think it's worth reiterating that the European missile defense
system that we've been working very hard on with our allies and with
Russia over the last few years is not aimed at Russia," said Capt. John
Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman. "It is ... designed to help deter and defeat
the ballistic missile threat to Europe and to our allies from Iran."
But Medvedev said Moscow will not be satisfied by simple declarations and
wants a binding agreement. He said, "When we propose to put in on paper in
the form of precise and clear legal obligations, we hear a strong
Medvedev warned that Russia will station missiles in its westernmost
Kaliningrad region and other areas, if the U.S. continues its plans
without offering firm and specific pledges that the shield isn't directed
at its nuclear forces. He didn't say whether the missiles would carry
conventional or nuclear warheads.
The U.S. missile defense dispute has long tarnished ties between Moscow
and Washington. The Obama administration has repeatedly said the shield is
needed to fend off a potential threat from Iran, but Russia fears that it
could erode the deterrent potential of its nuclear forces.
"If our partners tackle the issue of taking our legitimate security
interests into account in an honest and responsible way, I'm sure we will
be able to come to an agreement," Medvedev said. "But if they propose that
we 'cooperate,' or, to say it honestly, work against our own interests, we
won't be able to reach common ground."
Moscow has agreed to consider a proposal NATO made last fall to cooperate
on the missile shield, but the talks have been deadlocked over how the
system should be operated. Russia has insisted that it should be run
jointly, which NATO has rejected.
Medvedev also warned that Moscow may opt out of the New START arms control
deal with the United States and halt other arms control talks, if the U.S.
proceeds with the missile shield without meeting Russia's demand. The
Americans had hoped that the START treaty would stimulate progress in
further ambitious arms control efforts, but such talks have stalled
because of tension over the missile plan.
While the New START doesn't prevent the U.S. from building new missile
defense systems, Russia has said it could withdraw from the treaty if it
feels threatened by such a system in future.
Medvedev reaffirmed that warning Wednesday, saying that Russia may opt out
of the treaty because of an "inalienable link between strategic offensive
and defensive weapons."
The New START has been a key achievement of Obama's policy of improving
relations with Moscow, which had suffered badly under the George W. Bush
"It's impossible to do a reset using old software, it's necessary to
develop a new one," Medvedev's envoy to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, said at a
news conference.
The U.S. plan calls for placing land- and sea-based radars and
interceptors in European locations, including Romania and Poland, over the
next decade and upgrading them over time.
Medvedev said that Russia will carefully watch the development of the U.S.
shield and take countermeasures if Washington continues to ignore Russia's
concerns. He warned that Moscow would deploy short-range Iskander missiles
in Kaliningrad, a Baltic Sea region bordering Poland, and place weapons in
other areas in Russia's west and south to target U.S. missile defense
sites. Medvedev said Russia would put a new early warning radar in
He said that as part of its response Russia would also equip its
intercontinental nuclear missiles with systems that would allow them to
penetrate prospective missile defenses and would develop ways to knock
down the missile shield's control and information facilities.
Igor Korotchenko, a Moscow-based military expert, was quoted by the state
RIA Novosti news agency as saying that the latter would mean targeting
missile defense radars and command structures with missiles and bombers.
"That will make the entire system useless," he said.
Medvedev and other Russian leaders have made similar threats in the past,
and the latest statement appears to be aimed at the domestic audience
ahead of Dec. 4 parliamentary elections.
Medvedev, who is set to step down to allow Prime Minister Vladimir Putin
to reclaim the presidency in March's election, leads the ruling United
Russia party list in the parliamentary vote. A stern warning to the U.S.
and NATO issued by Medvedev seems to be directed at rallying nationalist
votes in the polls.
Rogozin, Russia's NATO envoy, said the Kremlin won't follow the example of
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and take unwritten promises from the
"The current political leadership can't act like Gorbachev, and it wants
written obligations secured by ratification documents," Rogozin said.
Medvedev's statement was intended to encourage the U.S. and NATO to take
Russia seriously at the missile defense talks, Rogozin said. He added that
the Russian negotiators were annoyed by the U.S. "openly lying" about its
missile defense plans.
"We won't allow them to treat us like fools," he said. "Nuclear deterrent
forces aren't a joke."

A Private Finance Initiative (PFI) is a partnership between the public and private sectors. PFIs are used to help fund big projects such as new schools, hospitals and roads. Local authorities change from being the owners and operators of assets to purchasers of services.
Unlike traditional procurement the public sector does not buy the assets but pays for their use, together with associated services. Capital investment in the assets is made by the private sector which recovers its costs over a long contract period .
The Government helps by providing PFI 'credits'. In the South Coast Streetlighting PFI, a private sector contractor will be given responsibility for designing, installing and operating the streetlighting service for the next 25 years.
PFI credits are a measure of the private sector investment which will be supported by central government. Issuing a PFI credit is a promise that PFI grant (money paid by central government to local authorities) can be claimed once the project is operational, and the level of PFI credits determines the amount of grant.
Without a PFI there would not be enough funding to carry out such a large scale replacement and improvement programme. It allows us to invest in the latest technology to save energy and cut carbon emissions.
A PFI also allows the risk to be shared between the public and private sectors.
Many of our street lights are old and need replacing. Without the Government's money we wouldn't be able to undertake such a large replacement programme. Also, many of our town centres need to be lit to a higher standard to make people feel safe and to encourage their use after dark. The replacement programme includes new technology lamps which are more energy efficient and effective.
Note: Question Four has been removed.
The work is being done in phases over five years to minimise disruption. Also, the programme is being coordinated with other work to avoid as much disruption as possible.
There will be a slight increase in the number of lighting columns on the road network, but the lanterns used will be more efficient and better directed, so that they light the roads and pavements and not the night sky. Improved control equipment will help reduce wasted or misdirected light.
As a general rule any lighting stock over 15 years old is being replaced with white fluorescent light in residential areas, giving greater clarity and colour representation. Carbon emissions will be reduced through the introduction of remote lighting management, having the ability to change lighting times and levels. And as faults can be automatically registered, there should be no more need for staff driving around looking for problems.
Solar powered street lights are still in the development stage and are currently not cost effective. They are also visually intrusive, don't provide a reliable source of light throughout the night and easily vandalised or stolen. Another drawback is they are not suitable for high power lights, as they often need back up batteries. Trials are being carried out but this is not yet proven technology.
The service started early in 2010 and innovation is encouraged. The contractor has set aside funding to enable emerging technology to be incorporated in their installations.
New or replacement lighting is designed to British and European lighting standards and will be "white light" in residential areas. The aim is to provide the right standard for the type of road, traffic flow and local conditions. Some roads will have noticeably brighter lighting for these reasons.
In line with the design standards, new or replacement lighting columns will be sensitively placed on boundaries wherever possible or where they cause the least intrusion. We will try our best but some designs will be limited by the available electrical supply, the position of trees or other street signs.
All lights are being dimmed by 25% to reduce carbon emissions but safety is a priority. Research shows that better street lighting helps improve road safety as well as reducing crime and the fear of crime. Residents will be fully consulted where dimming is proposed.
You can phone Hampshire County Council: 0845 603 5633 between office hours and SSE Contracting: 0800 048 2437 for out of office hours. There is also the fault reporting website www.lightsoninhampshire.co.uk. Alternatively you can e-mail email@example.com if you any questions.
Replacing or upgrading thousands of street lights means a big increase in work, but this is being programmed and planned over five years to reduce disruption and take account of local circumstances whenever possible.
Consultations with key project Stakeholders, such as local councils, societies and historic groups, are taking place throughout the five year programme. All residents will receive information in the post advising them of the project as it comes to their area.
There is provision for the sympathetic replacement of existing heritage lighting. Hampshire has many historic and conservation areas and replacements in these areas are handled in a sensitive manner in order to strike a balance between the need for lighting and protecting the character of these special areas. Parish and district councils are consulted to either agree the appearance of the replacement lighting or request that in such areas the old stock remains where it adds to the character of the area.
Staff currently employed in the street lighting service have transfered to the new contractor.
Following the first five years of the contract, when all the lighting is being replaced or upgraded, the next 20 years will focus on maintaining and operating the system. This includes Hampshire County Council's monitoring team keeping a check on project delivery and operations.
Around 13,000 of Hampshire's street lights are operated by district, town and parish councils and most of these are expected to be included in the PFI. There are no plans, at present, to install lighting in currently unlit locations
At the end of the contract maintenance of all street lights reverts back to the County Council.
There are several ways to find out more information. Details of the project timetable will be published on rthese web pages. During the five year replacement period public events will be held in all affected areas to inform local residents what's happening and why. Any enquires regarding the PFI can be e-mailed to email@example.com or you can call the County Council's contact centre Hantsdirect on 0845 603 5633
The majority of modern lanterns have optical controls designed to limit or counteract intrusion into properties. However on occasions where a light shield is felt necessary you can request one by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com. For street lights that have been replaced as part of the PFI a charge will not be incurred to fit a light shield, however if the street light in question is older and not part of the PFI maintenance and replacement programme a charge will be incurred.
If you would like a column removed please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. There may be a cost involved in the removal but each case is individually assessed.

Hunters' Lodges
Hunters' Lodges
Secret organization of Canadian rebels and U.S. adventurers dedicated to freeing Canada from British colonial rule. It was formed after the failure of the 1837 rebellion and was concentrated in the northern U.S. border states. In 1838 two attempts to invade Upper Canada (now Ontario) were stopped by local British Canadian militia. Minor border raids continued until Pres. Martin Van Buren ordered the lodges disbanded in accordance with U.S. neutrality laws.

We're partway through summer already! You know what summer means: warm weather, time with the family and, if you're lucky enough to have one, a trip to your summer home. It was a long winter, and you probably have not been able to get back there since last summer. You can't wait to play horseshoes with your kids, fire up the grill and get some time away from the office. Your summer home is your oasis! Since you've been away, it's important to make sure that your summer home has remained undisturbed. A homeowner's greatest fear is to return to broken pipes, an infestation or worse — a break-in. By taking these few steps as soon as you return to your summer home, you can quickly put your mind at ease and get on with your vacation!
1. Is Anything Unlocked?
Your first act, before doing anything, should be to try opening every entry point that can be opened, meaning doors and windows. Get in there before children or guests so you can be sure that everything's remained shut until you, yourself, opened them. It's better to have one person doing this task rather than to rely on your niece's memory of which doors she's opened. Was a screen window torn? Was anything unlocked? If so, even if there was no other sign of burglary, you should probably get your locks changed. Was anything forced open, or hanging open? Get back out of the house (What if someone's still there?) and phone the police. That's what they're there for.
2. Is Everything There?
Most people don't keep valuable items in a vacation home (after all, you may need them and you're smarter than that). But sometimes you may leave things such as papers relating to the home (with all your information on them), a pill bottle or vehicles you only use at the vacation home (bikes, golf carts, etc.).
Be aware of the burglar search pattern: They start in the master bedroom, looking for jewelry and documents with your personal information on them. So you should start there too— is the firebox still locked and still there? Next, on to the bathroom, where a thief will look for prescription drugs. If you left anything in the medicine cabinet, is everything as it should be? Then check out your kitchen and living room to confirm that electronics and vehicle keys are all there — if you keep any spare keys, make sure nothing's been moved or is missing.
Finally, check your garage or shed: If a burglar took your keys, you can bet that vehicle is gone. While you're doing your sweep, make sure furniture is where you left it. Burglars rearrange things while looking for a safe or other valuables. If things are moved or if an item is missing, don't assume someone borrowed it or moved it. File a police report. It's better to sound a false alarm and wipe the egg off your face later than file no report and wish you had.
3. Have Any Non-Human Pests Been Here?
Before you go about unpacking all of your barbecue ingredients, be sure you'll be the only one eating your food! While you're at it, make sure no one's eating your house. Know what pests are popular in your area by contacting a pest control professional and asking. Check your cabinets, closets and baseboards for signs of inhabitation (sawdust, mouse droppings). Take a peek in your attic and basement, too, as creepy-crawlies like accessible dark corners, and these spots provide just that. Check your mattresses for white spots (bed bug larvae) or little black dots moving and shaking — pull back the seams to check, as this is a common hiding spot. Even if you haven't been back here recently, bedbugs can survive a long time without a person to munch on.
And lastly (and especially important if you have children or pets) check sheds, garages and the exterior of your house for signs of biting or stinging insects (Can you see any nests? Are there any high concentrations of wasps, fire ants or carpenter bees?) or even menacing wildlife (Are there signs that something's been killed by coyotes in your backyard?). If you find anything, use the Orkin Pest Library or the Pest World Pest Guide to identify it and call your local pest control professional to describe your situation. If you have menacing wildlife, look up your local animal control number. But remember: Wildlife is part of the appeal of your house! Don't just go killing things willy nilly; only call animal control if it's posing a threat. In most cases, all you need to know is how to avoid the wildlife — avoid it and it will avoid you.
Regardless of what you find, it's a good idea to call in a pest control professional when you're opening your house for the season. Professionals will spot things that you may not, and getting your house treated is a good way to prevent future problems. Never having an infestation is better than finding one and taking care of it quickly, after all.
4. What About Mold?
Ugh, mold: pervasive and hard to get rid of. If you smell mold in your house, contact a removal professional right away. Try turning on your temperature control system — if the smell gets worse, your heating or cooling vents are where that mold lives and you've just narrowed it down. Also, check areas of your house that have historically had moisture or flooding problems — basements, attics and bathrooms are usually good candidates for this. If you notice any signs of water damage, call a mold removal professional. It could be hiding under flooded carpets and floorboards, or behind the walls. Deal with it right away, because mold can cause asthma, itchy skin and sore throats. Those are definitely symptoms you don't want wrecking your vacation, and mold only gets worse.
5. Any Maintenance Issues?
The best way to discover maintenance issues is through testing. Turn on faucets, flush toilets, walk around decks and porches and try your oven (If you smell gas, don't try your oven. Leave and phone the appropriate emergency number instead). Creaks, smells and blockages should all be dealt with by a professional. And do it as soon as possible to prevent it from getting worse. But even more importantly, the sooner you deal with it the less it's going to interfere with the rest of your summer. Relaxing is easier with no projects hanging over your head.
Once you make sure your home has not been invaded, by humans or other creatures, and everything is functioning properly, you can finally relax. Now, your attention can go to more important matters: barbecuing, summer reading and the first beach trip of the year. Job well done!

If you have been considering adding a collection of photos, drawings, art, paintings or prints onto your wall, there are options for your look. Either a an organized arrangement of different sized wall art or a very symmetrical no bending the rules version.
Today I bring you two little living rooms...both feel very fall. Dark greens, browns, rich textures like velvet, suede, cane, patterns ... both feature gallery art walls behind classic sofas. The wall above is a wonderful mix match of photos, prints and clearly collected items. The living room below has a more tailored gallery wall with uniform framed botanical prints.
Which do you prefer...? This or that?
Happy Wednesday!

Love both for different reasons.... But if I had to choose I would pick the 1st one as it has a very warm and inviting feel
ReplyDelete I love the first photo for its willy-nilly arrangement, but the second one's sofa is totally awesome!! That green velvet is simply scrumptious and the globe....I could swoon for days over that globe. So if I had to choose, the 2nd one, but it's a hard decision to make... Thanks for posting these, I've been working on my own gallery wall above the sofa in my living room re-do. I appreciate the great inspiration!

Thousands protest coal mining practices in Australia
POSTED: Tuesday, May 1, 2012 - 7:30am
UPDATED: Tuesday, May 1, 2012 - 7:34am
NBC News — Thousands of protesters in Sydney marched through the city's streets calling for tougher restrictions on coal seam gas mining. The disposal of contaminated water is one of the most controversial aspects of the multi-billion dollar industry.
Opponents say there are insufficient safeguards to protect groundwater. Protesters came from various groups across the country including farmers, environmentalists, rural residents and families. They called on the government to provide greater protection of water resources and farmland. Coal provides about 85% of Australia's electricity production

text: I got a treadmill. I am soo excited. I have been wanting one for a long time but I was scared it would end up being a wast of money. I got it from a friend for $50. She is moving and does not want to take it with her. I can even run on it. I did the first day of C25K today and my goal is to run a 5K in April. Anyone else have a treadmill? If so do you use it enough to make it worth it? Alos, who is doing C25K?

Comments about Loaf Lock® - Set Of 3:
I love these. Much easier to use than the ties.
Bread Savers
By Judy
from Newport News, VA
These are the best inventions. I no longer have to tie those little wires around the bread bags any more. They hold the bags tighter.
These really are great
By bonnarino
from phoenix az
Great for closing bread bags. My favorite use is closing my bag of ice. Used to have to use 3 clothespins at least to get it tight. I don't use these to close chip bags. But these are really great because they work so well for what they were designed for - tightly closing plastic bags.
love them

Keeps bread and all twist tie bags closed quick and easy.
Great product!!
By Nana N
from Branson, MO
I have ordered these several times. I gifted my daughters a few sets each (terrific stocking stuffers). I use them to seal all partially used packages in my kitchen. They seal tightly and stay in place. I have arthritis in my hands and they are easy to grasp and open.

About Me Avid Cook
I began using Loaf Locks as soon as I saw them in your catalog. couldn't begin to tell you how many I have purchased, as I have given so many away as gifts.I still have originals because they never break!
I would buy this product again

I needed something like this.
By CaroL Texas
from Conroe, TX
I know I posted before but I had to post again. The plastic is super strong. I wouldn't call them bulky, but they're not compact either since they spread so far. At first I thought these to be a little pricey but then I remember how many times I've replaced chip closures and replace clothespins I used on bags. These will last. I haven't put them in the dishwasher, but I do clean them since multiple hands touch them all of the time. I wish they came with a choice of colors or at least more updated colors, but then again they're in a cabinet all the time and it's not a huge issue. Great gifts. I think I've purchased 5 sets or more.
Good Buy
By GRITS

Good idea. Well made. I may get another set!

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In order to deepen and broaden our understanding of Layers, in this movie we are going to talk about History. History is built in the Photoshop. There is also a History brush that we can use in order to modify what we have created in our Photoshop document. All right, well let's open up the file history.psd. Press F to go to Full Screen View mode, Spacebar to reposition the image. Here you will notice I have a Background layer, a Text layer and then I have a Drawing layer. Let's click in the Drawing layer to target that layer. Next navigate to your Window pulldown menu and choose History.
All right, well here you can see my history panel, I'm then going to grab my Brush tool and I'm going to paint a brush stroke at 2005. Interesting, History noted that I did that and I'll go ahead and add some more brush strokes and let's say I'm going through time so to speak. Now we are going to talk about History analogously just a little bit here. One of the things you will notice is I have these different brush strokes here and all of them are included in my Layers palette. Now how many History States will be recorded in this History panel? Well, that depends on your Preferences, right? If you navigate to your Photoshop pulldown menu Preferences and General, that's for a Mac. For a PC, Edit > Preferences > General and then select Performance. Here is where you can choose how many History States, you want Photoshop to remember. Okay, well so far I have these states remembered how then do I Undo those? Well, let me show you a couple of different techniques. One is Ctrl+Z on a PC; Command+Z on a Mac goes back one step and then goes forward one step. So it allows you to go back and then go forward to Undo and then to Redo. But let's say you want to Undo multiple steps. on a Mac/Command+Option+Z, on a PC, Ctrl+Alt+Z and then press Z multiple times and here you can see I'm stepping back to the History.
Now let's say you don't like shortcuts. Well fine, all you need to do is in your History panel, click on the different states and you can go forwards and backwards to those different edits that you have made. Well, let's now take a look at another tool that we have here. It's called the History brush. I'm going to bring this History panel over here for a second. I'll go ahead and close my Actions. I really want to focus in on the History. What I'm going to do is point out the History brush that we have, the icon right there, great. Now when I click on the History brush, I can then paint across my image, make my brush a little bit bigger and when I paint across my image, what I'm going to do is I'm going to paint back to an earlier era of time. What era am I painting back to? Well, this era here.
So I can go ahead and paint across the image and remove everything. Okay well, that's kind of interesting. Let's now step back to when we had those brush strokes. Bringing this back over here and looking at a little icon, we can actually move this icon. Now we know that this was 2009, this is 2008, this is 2007. So I'll click here. Now when I paint across the entire of the image, all that I'm going to do is paint back to that particular time. So one of the things that you discovering is that you can use the History palette in kind of a linear way, simply press Command+ Z on the Mac/Ctrl+Z on the PC to go forwards and backwards or you can step back or Undo multiple steps that you have taken. on a Mac/Command+Option+Z, on a PC Ctrl+Option+Z or you can use the History panel.
Now keep your mind what the History panel is doing is remembering or taking note of what you have done. In the Layers palette, we have all of that content here. Now another way that we can deal with this content is to grab the Eraser tool. Now when I grab the Eraser tool, I'm not thinking about History at all. All I'm doing is clicking in this Layer, Eraser tool and now I'm going to go ahead and make my brush big by pressing the right bracket key and then I'll click and paint all of these brush strokes away. So one of the things that we discovered here is that you can do the same thing a couple of different ways. Now History gave us a little bit more flexibility than using the Eraser tool. So which technique is better? Well, there isn't one technique that's better. Rather, it's important to know a little about Layers.
It's also important to know a little about History so that as we begin to build our Layer documents we know how we can Undo or Redo all of the different types of adjustments and corrections and edits that we are making on our images.

"isurf.co.om is a community portal and so involvement in a community event like the Origin Oman Exhibition is logical for us," says Rafid Mukadam, GM of Infocomm, speaking of his company's involvement in the local products and services exhibition. "To be worthy of the title 'Community Portal' we have to be part of the community and this is a great opportunity to do just that," he adds.
Community portals are a worldwide phenomenon and have a key role to play in today's digital society. The portals are more than a listing of local entertainment and offers, although this function should not be underestimated.
Their other role is to let outsiders learn more about the community itself and as such they are a vital part of economic development toolkits and project an image of a dynamic and connected community. Businesses want to move to communities that are comfortable with technology and that are clearly giving priority to staying current. Indeed, research points to community portals playing a part in helping economic development in towns and cities across the globe.
isurf.co.om is Oman's leading community portal with cinema listings and movie clips, news on local events, games and more. Since its launch two years ago, it regularly attracts more than 250,000 visitors a month.
"Of course, we're pleased about the number of users who come to the portal and that number will grow as internet penetration increases in the sultanate. But more than that, we're very proud that our users come from all sections of the community. That's a real achievement and a testament to the fact that we're hitting the right balance with our content. We feel that there's something for everyone. But we're always excited about the chance to bring isurf.co.om to a wider audience and I feel that the Origin Oman exhibition will give us a good chance to extend our reach," the Infocomm GM comments.
"And in an effort to bring the real and virtual communities closer together we're going to post images from the Origin Oman Exhibition on isurf.co.om. We plan to do the same at the 150 Kilometre Meal which is being held this week at the Oman Tourism College. It's another great initiative for us to be involved in. We are constantly looking for ways to upgrade the portal and get more people involved and we don't just want unique visitors, people checking in to see what we are about. We want people to keep on coming back to us because they enjoy what we have to offer," he added.
This is not the only community involvement that Rafid has in his sights: "When we say community portal, we really mean it, and it's not just a virtual community, it's about being part of the wider community and participating in it. We have a responsibility to give back to the community and isurf's exploring ways of taking part in more of what's going on in Oman. You can expect to see us active in events with a broad range of appeal across all sectors of society."
isurf.co.om is part of the Knowledge Oasis Muscat based Infocomm Group which provides m-Commerce solutions, e-Learning packages and WAP/ Data services. Infocomm also offers innovative full turnkey wireless and mobile enabling technology solutions for telecommunications operators, government organizations, ports, airports, hotels, shopping malls, business and of course consumers. Indeed, many of its products are already in use across the Sultanate.
