This stock will be $20 when a loaf of bread costs 50 bucks. Should have sold back at $6.
Should have sold at $6? You must be some sort ofgenius to figure that out. I should have held MSFT at$26. Don't blame CTE for the runup to $6. They didn'thype the stock, they've had relatively conservativeupdates to their progress on all fronts. Remove the spikeand we have very nice progress from both a technicaland business sense over the last 6 months. IMHO
This firm,which recently received 353,123 sharesof CTE common upon conversion of the Series Aconvertible preferred,has apparently filed a Form 144 to sellhalf of its holdings.[See todays news release re theconversion]This is obviously what is placing pressure on thestock and should be over in a couple of days.This isthe kind of thing that creates major buyingopportunities.Good luck everyone.

Caps question
About 2 years ago, one of my 7 year old Trane heat pumps quit during AC season. Cap was bulged. Service guy replaced the dual section cap and all was well until today when the same one quit again. No fan or compressor running outside. Cap not bulged, but a little warm. I had bought two new caps, 35/5/440, after the previous failure. Installed one, outside fan runs, but even after a few minutes, the compressor is not running. So the other spare cap was installed. Running fine now. How often does one encounter a bad cap that has not been used before?
And if neither the fan or compressor is running, did the entire capacitor fail all at once? How frequently does that happen?
I have read comments from professionals stating capacitors made in China are unreliable. If is very possible a brand new capacitor could be bad right out of the box.
Anything is possible once a dual capacitor starts to go bad. The dielectric and plates of each of the capacitors may be interwined. One cap could take out the other depending how it is constructed.

Easter cactus help please
I got these easter cactus cuttings in a trade recently and they are shriveling up pretty bad and the buds have mostly dropped off. They seemed to be doing well when I first got them but they are not rooting well. I am afraid they will die. The leaves are now pretty thin and shrivelly.
Can some one help me please to know what to do to try to save these cuttings?
I'm not an expert, but when I happen to knock off some leaf segments, I just put them into some soil and wait. Yes, they will look awful, and start to shrivel. They should root fairly quickly, and when they do you'll know. The cuttings should re-plump. I read your other post, and that sucks. I have never traded here, but I do have LOTS of succulents. If these die on you, maybe I can try to replace them?
Thank you for responding to my post its good to know that they are looking as they should. So far now 1 white and 2 of the red have tiny roots starting to grow so I am getting more hopeful. I didt know they shriveled up so bad before they root. Thank you for your kindness.
You can easily save these cuttings if you follow these simple rules. First, moisten the bottom of the cutting. 2. Dip the bottom of the cutting in a rooting powder. 3. Allow cutting to sit for twenty-four hours so the bottom will callus. 4. Pot cutting in a cactus potting soil 5. Do not water cutting, however mist everyday for four weeks. After week four, water but allow to dry slightly between waterings. I've been following this procedure for over thirty years for my Easter, Christmas, and Orchid cactus. I haven't lost a cutting yet and I give many "new" plants to friends. I currently have twelve cuttings outside, in the shade that I started last week. I gow all of mine outside on a porch that receives filtered early morning sun. I hope this helps you. The only time my plants come inside are when temps go down to freezing, which thankfully isn't very often.

Gerald Green scored 20 points and Tyler Hansbrough, starting in place of the injured David West, had 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 111-90 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night. West missed the game with a sprained lower back sustained Saturday against Philadelphia, but the Pacers dominated without their second-leading scorer. Green scored 13 points in the second quarter and Hansbrough, making just his second start of the season, led a balanced attack. Paul George scored 14 points while Roy Hibbert added 12 as the Pacers avoided losing three in a row for the third time this season. C.J. Miles led Cleveland with 21 points, but injuries continued to plague the Cavaliers. Guard Dion Waiters didn't play after the first quarter because of a sore left knee and Cleveland played its fourth straight game without All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, who is out with a sprained left shoulder.

5/5 - Very smooth animation and good job on the shadowing, it looks really good.
Classic Windows cursors with built-in shadows and antialiased edges. This set contains all classic cursors and three alternative ones (pendulum arrow, lightbulb, and animated unavailable sign).
If you are using this set on Vista Beta 2, be sure to disable cursor shadow in control panel. The cursors already contain shadows.
5 out of 5 stars.

4.5 out of 5 stars.
Glad you made some normal but fun cursers! They are cool!
is genial!
nice job what the fuck is wrong with the pendulum cursor?!!!!!!
5 out of 5 stars.
The pendulum cursor is not wrong, it's just not displayed in the most optimal way. In actual uses the hot spot only moves when you move the mouse. The pointer will appear to swing back and forth, like a pendulum. It is actually very creative, I think it's the only animated cursor I've ever seen to utilize the hot spot in this fashion.

Microsoft Sues Motorola Over Mapping Patents 57

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
As soon as someone sells hardware along with the software, software patents turn into hardware patents and then you can sue even in Europe. It's magic!
Does anyone know why two American companies are suing each other in Germany? Are these German patents?
Two reasons that I can think of...
1. The patent in question is european [freepatentsonline.com] (although it appears to be also filed as a US patent [freepatentsonline.com] as well).
2. The law firm they are using, Bardehle Pagenberg [bardehle.com], has apparently won more injunctions against Android than any other law firm in the world.
AFAIK, the patent in question actually came into Microsoft's possession after it purchased Multimap.com [wikipedia.org] (a UK based company) back in 2007, which jives with the european flavor of this dispute.

Last updated March 8, 2015. Created on May 21, 2013.
Edited by oadaeh, batigolix, george.plescan, bbinkovitz. Log in to edit this page.
Main topic described: project metadata
An essential part of a Drupal 8 module, theme, or install profile is the .info.yml file (aka, "info yaml file") to store metadata about the project.
These .info.yml files are required to:
- Notify Drupal about the existence of a module, theme, or install profile.
- Provide information for the Drupal Web UI administration pages.
- Provide criteria to control module activation and deactivation and Drupal version compatibility.
- General administrative purposes in other contexts.
The following is a sample .info.yml file:
name: Example Module
description: Example Module description.
package: Custom
type: module
version: 1.0
core: 8.x
- node
configure: example.admin_index
The .info.yml file should have the same unique name as the .module file (if any) and reside in the same directory. For example, if your module is named "Example," and has a
example.module file, then your .info.yml file should be named
Looking at the example info.yml file above lets take a look at each line to see what it does.
The first three lines are primarily used in the administration UI when allowing users to enable or disable your module. The
name and
description (both required) keys provide the text that is shown on the module administration page and the
package key allows you to group like modules together. Core, for example, uses
package: Core to group all of the modules provided with Drupal 8 together, likewise you might use
package: Custom to group all of your projects custom modules together making them easier to locate and enable.
type key, which is new in Drupal 8, is required and indicates the type of extension, e.g. module, theme or profile.
For modules hosted on drupal.org, the
version number will be filled in by the packaging script, you should not specify it manually, but leave out the
version line entirely.
core key is required and specifies the version of Drupal core that your module is compatible with.
The optional
dependencies key provides Drupal with a list of modules that are required in order for your module to work correctly. For example, if you're going to call code from the node module or implement a hook provided by the block module, then you would want to specify them as dependencies. This key tells Drupal that your module cannot be enabled unless its dependencies are also present and enabled. You can include core, contributed, and custom modules alike.
If the module provides one or more configuration pages in the administration section, then the
configure key can be used to specify the route (see a short intro to routing later in this quickstart example) for the administration page.
In addition to the properties shown in the example you can also specify
hidden: true which will hide your module from the module list on the Extend page (
/admin/modules). You might find it useful to hide a module if, for example, it only contains tests for the testing framework to use, or it is a sub-module that's only intended to serve as an example for developers who need to implement the main module's API. To avoid clutter on the Modules list, you can choose to hide them.
Debugging .info.yml files
Module is not listed on
- Ensure the info file is named
modulename.info.ymland is located in the root of the module directory.
- Ensure that the file has the line:
type: module
- Ensure the module name starts either with a letter or an underscore. Excerpt from the PHP documentation:
Function names follow the same rules as other labels in PHP. A valid function name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores. As a regular expression, it would be expressed thus: [a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*.
Module is listed on
admin/modules but its checkbox is disabled.
- Make sure that the core compatibility is set to 8.x:
core: 8.x
- Ensure that all the module dependencies are available. You can expand the module information to see which requirements are missing:
Note that some modules have been moved out of Drupal 8 core, whereas other contributed modules have been moved into core or replaced by new core modules.
Module description is empty
Remember that the
descriptionkey is required.
description: Example Module description.

FilmDistrict to Distribute Zac Efron's 'Are We Officially Dating?'
FilmDistrict will release the Zac Efron starrer Are We Officially Dating? in the U.S. on Jan. 31, 2014, the independent studio announced Monday.
FilmDistrict has acquired U.S. distribution rights to the Treehouse Pictures-produced romantic comedy.

In addition to Efron, the film stars Friday Night Lights alum Michael B. Jordan and 21 & Over's Miles Teller as guys who vow to stay single to support a friend still recovering from a recent breakup but end up falling in love. The movie is writer-director Tom Gormican's first feature.
Jason Barrett, Efron's manager and partner in his Warner Bros.-based Ninjas Runnin' Wild production company, is among the film's executive producers.
STORY: Fox Picks Up Crime Thriller 'Narc' With Zac Efron Attached to Star
"We are all excited to be involved with Are We Officially Dating? and all the rising talent in front of and behind the camera," FilmDistrict CEO Peter Schlessel said in a statement. "Tom wrote a script that is as funny as it is heartfelt, and we are pleased to release his directorial debut."
Treehouse Pictures president Justin Nappi added, "We couldn't be happier that FilmDistrict will be releasing Are We Officially Dating? in the U.S., ensuring that Tom Gormican's highly relatable comedy with an amazingly talented cast has the chance to connect with the largest possible audience."
FilmDistrict is set to release the sequel to its blockbuster horror film Insidious in September. Treehouse Pictures recently produced the Richard Gere starrer Arbitrage as well as another Zac Efron movie, At Any Price.

'Burn Notice' Guest Star Angelica Celaya Dives Into Uncharted Territory
After working for 10 years in the Spanish market, the telenovela actress talks to THR about making the jump to English-language television in the USA Network drama.
Burn Notice welcomes telenovela star Angelica Celaya, who makes her English-language TV debut in Thursday's episode.
For Celaya, who worked for a decade in the Spanish market though she was born and raised in Tucson, Ariz., the Burn Notice gig (she plays Angela Flores, the high-maintenance girlfriend of a dangerous Russian engineer suspected of selling weapons technology on the black market) represents a new chapter in her career. But the change, as she tells it, was drastic.
"It was different in the sense that I always related work to Spanish," Celaya told The Hollywood Reporter. "My head is always going through the scenes in Spanish and I had to change the internal chip to English. It was difficult because it was out of my comfort zone. After a number of years working, you know where your voice level is at and you're in control."
STORY: 'Burn Notice' Boss Previews Explosive Death and the 'Enormous Fallout'
For Celaya, getting used to how her voice sounded in English was an adjustment -- at first. "My voice goes in a different direction when I speak English; it's a little higher-pitched," she said. "Hearing myself consistently working like this was weird and nervewracking."
As with many characters on the USA spy drama, there's more to Celaya's character than meets the eye.
"She has a lot of things planned, she wants to get out of her situation and she wants to be left alone," Celaya said. Cue Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar).
"She asks for Fiona's help and they seem to get along very well. They build this camaraderie to where they understand each other with looks," she added. "There's something about Angela's boyfriend that she doesn't like -- and it could also be that she is a little smarter than she lets on."
PHOTOS: Summer TV Preview 2012
The toughest scene to tackle comes at the end of the hour, when Angela's true motives are revealed to all involved.
"That's when Angela stops being the doe-eyed girlfriend," Celaya said. "It's the switch and that to me was the most difficult situation to play."
Celaya has starred in Telemundo's Ladron de Corazones, Marina, Gabriel and Perro Amor.
Burn Notice airs 9 p.m. Thursdays on USA.

I applied online – interviewed at Intel Corporation in November 2014.Interview Details
Initially there was a phone interview with basic statistic questions:mean, normal distribution, standard deviation. After that interview I went to Phoenix for a face-to-face interview. Was required to do a presentation on PhD project the day before the interview. During the RUSH event they gave an interview of the company and some of the benefits. There were two-one hour interviews with two people in each of the interview rooms.Interview Questions

The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Intel Corporation.Interview Details
I was fortunate enough to get an interview in Phoenix, AZ for this position. They had a short phone interview after which they invited me to come on site. Many of my friends interviewed at that location and received a schedule with interview details a week before the interview. Unfortunately I did not get a schedule until the day of my interview so I was going in to the interview blind. I even had to email the hiring manager the night before just to get the building address.
Upon arrival I was told that I was given the wrong building number, luckily I came early and was not late, since the correct building was only a block away. There were four other candidates for the position. We were all given an introduction to the job at the same time, after which we had four private interviews. Everyone was very nice, knowledgeable and laid back. We had a very good conversation with a few behavioral questions in between. The questions they asked were very similar to the ones posted on this website. The only question that was not on the list was "why is your GPA not so great? Why not 4.0?". My GPA is in the 3.6-3.8 range so it is not too horrible. I replied that I had to balance my classes with research which resulted in a couple of B's, however, classes that were applicable to my field of study are all A's. In addition, my research resulted in a number of publications with novel concepts, so at times I had to sacrifice some study time to advance my projects. The interviewer seemed to take this response positively, noting that the job will require balancing multiple important projects at the same time and often requires compromise.
After the interview, I sent a thank you letter as is customary. Since they did not tell me how long it will take for them to get back to me with an answer I waited for two weeks before contacting them again. I did not hear back from them since the interview three months ago. The hiring manager didn't reply to any of my inquiries so I am assuming I didn't get the job.
Note that this experience only reflects on the management style of one group. Many of my friends heard back within two weeks of their interviews whether they got it or not. Most groups will let you know, this was my unique experience.Interview Questions

The transportation of semiconductor wafers along a track on an air film. The supporting air film is controlled by the track configuration and fluid relationships to eliminate the need of a wafer guide on restraint to keep the wafers on the track.
1. A method of controlling the motion of objects such as semiconductor wafers along a surface of an elongated track on a bed of air comprising:
emitting air against one side of the object from a plurality of rows of jets positioned longitudinally along the track with openings in the surface of the track and passages to the surface which are at least four times longer than the diameter of the openings and which are inclined towards each other in opposing pairs made up of jets from different rows to define the path of travel for the objects positioned over the jets; and
evacuating air introduced by each row of jets from the surface of the track over the side of a channel extending longitudinally along the track in the surface of that track which side is spaced alongside the row in the direction of inclination of the passages of the jets and which side is curved to cause a Coanda effect.
2. The method of claim 1 including setting the pressure of the air emitted by the jets at an equilibrium level that suspends the objects on a thin bed of air.
3. A track for transporting objects such as semiconductor wafers on a bed of air comprising:
a substantially elongated transporting track having rows of holes in it that extend longitudinally along the track and are separated from adjacent rows by channels also extending longitudinally along the track, the holes being the output ends of passages that are at least four times as long as the holes are wide and are inclined toward each other in opposing pairs made up of jets from different rows and the channels having curved side walls on the sides towards which the passages are inclined; and
a gaseous fluid supply means coupled to the input ends of the passages for directing gaseous fluid through said passages to the transporting surface to be directed against the facing surface of the transporting objects and then over the curved side walls of the channels to form a thin layer of gaseous fluid for holding the objects suspended above the track.
4. The track of claim 3 wherein the passages are inclined both towards the centerline of the track and in the direction of desired transportation down the track to provide both motion and stabilizing forces to the transporting objects.
5. The track of claim 4 wherein there are a plurality of rows and passages on each side of the centerline.
6. The track of claim 5 wherein the inclination of the passages in the direction of the centerline is less in any given row of passages than it is in a row of passages which is further from the centerline of the track.
7. The track of claim 6 wherein the inclination of the passage in the direction of transportation is greater in any given row of passages than it is in a row of passages further from the centerline of the track.
8. The track of claim 7 wherein there are three rows of passages on each side of the track.
9. The track of claim 5 wherein the air supply means is for supplying gaseous liquid under greater pressure to any given row of passages than is supplied to a row of passages that is closer to the centerline of the track.
The present invention relates to the transportation of objects such as semiconductor wafers along a track on an air film and more particularly to the minimization of movements of the objects in any direction but the desired direction of transportation.
For some time now objects such as semiconductor wafers have been moved along a track on an air film during manufacturing and testing processes. In the past, the forces exerted by the air film on the wafers has resulted in the wafers contacting with dust or environment control shields covering the track or with the guides placed along the track to constrain the motion of the wafers. This has resulted in damage to the wafers lowering the yield rate of the semiconductor circuits on the wafers. Therefore it is desirable that the need for such guides to correct the motion of the wafers be eliminated or reduced.
The transportation of a wafer on a supporting air film, without boundary guides is difficult because low sliding friction and momentum of the moving wafer causes the wafer to diverge from the desired direction of transportation. A system having such a wafer handling capability must have an air film "structure" with unique control properties. Namely, it must be able to constrain the wafer motion in various directions while allowing controlled motion in a desired direction and manner. Furthermore, these control characteristics must be inherently stable and thus resistive to extraneous effects which could cause motion instabilities.
Ideally, this system also features simple and low cost construction; ease in installation and maintainability; low air consumption; performance insensitivity to clean air enclosures; clean operating environment; and, high overall reliability.
Therefore in accordance with the present invention, the supporting air film characteristics are controlled to reduce movement of the wafers in all but the desired direction of transportation. To this end an axi-radial effect and a Coanda effect are generated by a track surface construction containing rows of long air feed nozzles separated by evacuating channels. The air passages of the nozzles are at least four times as long as they are in diameter and terminate in flat regions of the track surface. The sides of the passages are inclined toward the axis of symmetry of the track surface and the flat region in which they terminate are bounded on the axis of symmetry side by a smoothly curving surface forming the sidewall of one of the channels.
The air film produced by this configuration can be considered as a "control" flow volume of an essentially constant film thickness, bounded by the track surface on one side and the wafer surface on the other side. The control volume fluid generates forces acting on the wafer of a given weight, in directions normal to and in the plane of the wafer surface. These forces are a calculated result of the combined effects of the above mentioned axi-radial and Coanda flow phenomena.
Therefore it is an object of this invention to provide a new wafer transportation system.
A second object of the invention is to provide a wafer transportation system which minimizes movements of the wafer in the directions other than the desired direction of transportation.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a wafer transportation system which features simple low cost construction, ease of installation and maintainability, low air consumption, high insensitivity to clean air enclosures, clean operating environment and high overall reliability.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from the drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a plane view of a section of track for the wafer transportation system.
FIG. 2 is a side view of that same section of track.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3--3 in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is an expanded view of a portion of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a section taken along line 5--5 in FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a plot of static pressure vs. distance from the center line of the passageway illustrated in FIG. 4.
FIG. 7 is a more general view of FIG. 3 illustrating the forces exerted on the wafer in the normal direction.
FIG. 8 is a graph of the height of the wafer over the track surface as a function of the air supply flow rate.
FIG. 9 is a plot of the fluid shear force.
FIG. 10 is a schematic representation of forces acting on the wafers as they move along the track;
FIG. 11 is a plot of transverse restraining force on wafers; and
FIG. 12 is an enlarged view of a portion of the track shown in FIG. 1.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 thru 3, a semiconductor wafer 12 is transported over a track 14 on an air film fed to the top surface 16 of the track from air manifolds 18 in the track 14 through nozzles with long thin passages 20 arranged in six rows positioned symmetrically around the center line 24 of the track 14. These passages are inclined with respect to the vertical at an angle γ in the direction of the centerline and at an angle θ in the direction of motion along the track. An exhaust channel 26 is formed in the track 14 on the centerline side of each row of nozzles. These exhaust channels are asymmetrical in cross section in that the wall 28 towards the centerline is vertical and straight while the exterior wall 30 is curved with a radius R and terminates tangentially with the top surface 16 of the track.
The top surface of the track and the wafer are enclosed in a clear, plastic cover (not shown). This cover is to provide a barrier from dust and dirt and does not constitute a boundary for the movement of the wafers. In fact, if the track is properly configured and the air pressure properly adjusted, the wafers will not contact the shield. For instance, a silicon wafer 33/4 inches in diameter and 15 mils thick can be transported over a track of the type described with sufficient control of the wafer to eliminate the need of wafer guides when the track is constructed and operated to the specifications set forth in the following paragraph.
The film hole inclinations γ� and θ� could be the same for all the film holes. This represents one constructional situation. If this were the case these angles, for example, would be: γ =15� and θ =10�. However, marked advantages in wafer motion control can be obtained by changing film hole angles γ and β for each opposing pair of film hole rows.
FIG. 12 shows three pairs of opposing film hole rows spaced at distances t1, t2 and t3. The film hole spacing is denoted by "a". Each pair of film hole rows has a particular set of angles γ� and θ�. Thus, at row 1 the film hole angles γ and θ are such that planar velocity components Val and Vtl exist and where V1 is the planar resultant inclined at an angle β1. Similarly, the γ, θ values for other rows are implemented so as to obtain the qualitative vector picture shown in FIG. 12. In addition to the angular difference, vectors V1, V2 and V3 are different in magnitude because of the different supply flow rates in corresponding manifolds. Thus, V3 > V2 > V1 reflect the supply flow rate variation, viz., flow rate 3 > flow rate 2 > flow rate 1.
The underlying reason for the film hole angular variations just described is to give a much improved transverse stability to the moving wafer. When the wafer C.G. is moving along the a-axis, the transverse velocity components Va dominate in producing fluid forces to propel the wafer. If the C.G. moves in the t-direction while the wafer moves down the track, the Va induced fluid forces diminish with deviation distance, t, while Vt increases progressively to provide more effective transverse restoring force. The overall result is a stronger resistance to deviation from motion. Furthermore, when this condition does occur, the recovery (damping) is more rapid.
Typical film hole angles for the film hole rows are as follows:
row 1: γ = 10�, θ = 20�
row 2: γ = 15�, θ = 15�
row 3: γ = 20�, θ = 10�.
Film hole row spacings can vary somewhat without sensitive influence on wafer motion. For example, typical spacings for both 31/4 inch and 21/4 inch wafers are as follows:
t1 = 7/8 inch to 1 inches
t2 = 2 inches to 2 1/16 inches
t3 = 27/8 inch to 3 inches.
Also, typical film hole spacings, "a", range from 3/4 inch to 7/8 inch.
Film hole diameters range from 0.0135 inch to 0.025 and lengths range from 0.065 inch to 0.12 inch. A typical track uses 0.0135 inch diameter film holes for lengths ranging from approximately 0.065 inch to 0.076 inch; the variation in lengths being due to the different inclination angles γ and θ.
Referring to FIG. 5, the following typical dimensions are used in the track:
channel radius, r = 0.125 inch
distance, s = 0.250 inch
distance, h = 0.125 inch
distance, w = 0.072 inch.
This set of dimensions represents one of a number of other practical conditions. For example, the channel radius, r, can be varied to augment transverse stability on the track. In other applications such as an orientor, or an intersection, the radius becomes less important because the axial wafer momentum force is absent. Indeed, a radius r ≈ o is used in our latest orientor designs.
Referring back to FIG. 12 the manifold supply flow rate is set by placing a manometer total pressure tube over film hole 20 and adjusting manifold pressure to give desired monometer readings. Thus, typical stagnation pressures for the film hole rows as measured by the manometer are as follows:
row 1: 6 to 10 inch water column
row 2: 15 to 20 inch water column
row 3: 28 to 34 inch water column.
The common reservoir for the manifold has pressure in the order of 1.5 to 2 psig upstream of the three adjustment valves for the film hole rows.
Referring now to FIG. 5, air issuing from any one of the array of film holes 20 within the control volume strikes the wafer 12 and undergoes an abrupt change in flow direction. This change in direction results in a flow separation over the track surface which produces the static pressure variation in the radial direction which is shown in FIG. 6. The integrated effect of this variation, over a given surface area around the film hole, is both to attract and repel the wafer 12 by producing both an attracting and repelling force on the wafer. (One aspect of the curved surface 30 is that it acts to extend the attraction force over a wider region.)
The repelling force from the film hole acts to repel the wafer 12 from the track 14. This, however, is prevented by the coexisting attraction force and the weight of the wafer. The net result is that for a given air flow rate, a state of dynamic equilibrium occurs at a certain film thickness t, where the forces balance, in a direction normal to the track surface. The film thickness is characteristically constant and its value, for a given element weight, depends on the air flow rate. Any tendency of the element to tilt relative to the track surface is continuously counteracted.
This analysis can be extended to the entire wafer surface bounding the upper side of the control volume. As shown in FIG. 7, the wafer 12 of weight w is subjected to an average force Fs due to the combined suction effects of the film holes in the control volume or in other words, the air volume under the wafer. This force acts in the normal direction n and is opposed by the sum of normal momentum force components of the film hole flows, namely, Σ Pn. The dynamic equilibrium condition, at the film thickness h, is thus, Σ Pn = W + Fs. The control volume air film embodying this action of normal forces exerts a continuous, uniform, stabilizing effect on the wafer in the normal direction, n. Thus, as the wafer moves in the axial direction, a, it does so at an essentially constant film thickness, h, due to this overall motion constraint in the n-direction. The magnitude of the constant film thickness is, for other conditions fixed, a function of the air flow rate. This variation of h with track flow rate is illustrated in FIG. 8. Since the relationship Σ Pn = W + Fs exists for each value of h, the shape of the curve reflects the relative magnitudes of the quantities Pn, W, and Fs. A variation in the wafer weight W, for example, is reflected by a shift to a new equilibrium value of h.
Up to this point the discussion has been focused on motion constraint properties in a direction normal to the air track and wafer surfaces. In addition to these properties, there coexist motion control forces in directions parallel to the wafer surface. The forces are incorporated into the air film by use of the Coanda effect in conjunction with the axi-radial phenomenon.
One kind of force in the plane of the wafer is due to the planar components of the momentum repelling force acting on the wafer element. These components are introduced by inclining the film holes (i.e., at angles γ and θ) so that planar components normal to, and parallel to, the track longitudinal axis are obtained. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, this resolution consists of axial and transverse momentum force components on the wafer element, at each film hole site. The second kind of force in the plane of the wafer is due to the boundary layer induced frictional forces associated with the air flow parallel to the wafer surfaces. To illustrate this, a typical velocity profile is shown in FIG. 9. This profile represents the variation of the parallel flow velocity components with normal distance in the air film. In accordance with boundary layer theory, the flow shear force is proportional to the rate-of-change of this velocity, taken at the wafer surface. Hence, a fluid shear force is produced on the wafer element surface. The magnitude of this force, for other conditions equal, depends on the shape of the velocity profile in the neighborhood of the wafer surface (i.e., the greater the velocity rate-of-change, the higher the shear force). The channel action promotes a profile of the kind illustrated which, in turn, is very effective in the above process.
The combined effect of the above two kinds of forces is represented by the resultant planar force vector acting in the i-direction, as shown in FIG. 4. The constituent momentum and shear forces increase as the air flow rate is increased. For a given flow rate, the average velocity of the flow parallel to the wafer surface changes with distance from the film hole. Consequently, this is reflected in a corresponding variation of the shear force acting on the wafer surface. In the present case, the coupled action of the axi-radial suction region and the channel, produce a unique net effect with regard to the shear force characteristics. First, the flow separation over the suction region results in a high velocity parallel to the wafer surface. Second, the curved surface in "pulling" a large part of the efflux flow into the channel, enhances the velocity profile shape. Consequently, this coupled action results in a high, essentially constant shear force over the surface region encompassing the film hole and channel.
By referring back to FIG. 7 and 4, we can extend the above discussion to the entire wafer surface bounding the upper side of the control volume, the resultant planar force vector at a film hole is denoted by P, and its axial and transverse components by Pa and Pt, respectively. As shown, each film hole row and its channel is opposed by an equal such arrangement located at the same distance and at the opposite side of the symmetry axis. In the illustrated track configuration, there are three pairs of symmetrically opposed film hole row -- channel arrangements. Their spacing on the axis is essentially uniform with respect to the wafer diameter. The manifold pressure (i.e., film hole flow rate) is smallest for the innermost film hole rows and largest for the outermost rows. Correspondingly, the sum of the P forces for an innermost film hole row is smaller than that for the outermost row. Now, when the wafer center is on the axis of symmetry, the sum of the Pt forces on one side of the symmetry axis is just balanced by the sum of Pt on the opposite side. Denoting the sum of the Pt forces acting on one half of the wafer surface by Rt, it is seen that Δ Rt =0 for the above symmetrical case. Now, if the wafer shifts in the transverse direction, an unbalanced situation in Rt results due to two reasons. One, the wafer encounters increasingly higher Pt forces in the transverse direction due to the manifold pressure settings discussed above. Two, more surface area of the wafer is exposed to the film hole effect in the shift direction. Consequently, an unbalanced force Δ Rt results which acts to return the wafer to the symmetry position.
The action of the Rt transverse constraining force is illustrated in FIG. 10. As shown, the wafer moving axially along the track is continuously subjected to the centering Rt force field. Any tendency for the wafer to travel in the transverse direction produces a Δ Rt force that acts to bring its c.g. on the symmetry axis as it moves in the axial direction. The variation of Δ Rt with wafer displacement in the transverse direction is sketched in the figure. Once an axially moving wafer is displaced transversely, it is desirable to restore its motion back to the symmetry axis, in the shortest possible downstream axial distance. The characteristics of the Δ Rt field are very effective in accomplishing this action.
Referring again to FIG. 10 the sum of the axial force components Pa is denoted by Ra. This unbalanced force scheme moves the wafer on the air film along the axis of symmetry. Another scheme is discussed below in connection with motion control techniques.
The above air film embodies unique characteristics of concurrently acting normal-direction and planar forces acting on a moving wafer. It is thus capable of exerting multidirectional constraint on a wafer moving in a prescribed manner. For linear wafer motion, the force field constrains its transverse and normal direction motions in a stable manner. For rotational motion, in a variation of the film surface shown in FIG. 2, the force field acts radially and normally to provide precise, stable rotation with respect to the symmetry axes of the surface. The generic air film surface can take different forms depending on the application and/or emphasis on certain control properties (e.g., air tracks, intersections, orientors).
By this basic configuration, a unique air film is generated having multidirectional wafer motion control properties. This film surface, based on a synthesis of two fluid mechanics phenomena, can take various forms depending on the application. The key feature of its operation resides in the effective coupling of the axi-radial and Coanda flow characteristics. The fundamental surface construction feature by which this is accomplished is illustrated, in essence, by flat surface regions containing long, thin air film holes interrupted by channels having a certain cross-sectional shape. Among the important geometric quantities are included the film hole diameter, length, and inclination; the extent of the flat surfaces containing the film holes; the dimensions of the channel cross-section; and, the spacing arrangements of the film hole rows and channels with respect to the wafer surface. Some of the fluid mechanics parameters include air flow rate supply and distribution to various film hole regions.
Therefore it should be obvious to those skilled in the art that many changes can be made in the above embodiment of the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Navajo Toddler
By Isreal Shortman
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
The Navajo Toddler App is designed for children ages 2 to 9 to learn to speak the Navajo language through the use of interactive visual flashcards, audio, and gameplay lessons.
The use of the app will introduce children to basic Navajo vocabulary in categories such as numbers, food, colors, body parts, common sayings, and animals. Children can flip through the fun illustrated flash cards for a visual association of the word and listen to the audio pronunciation of each word to get familiar with how the word is spoken. Once a child becomes familiar with the words they can play a visual and audio game that will give them three fun illustrations to choose from and one word in Navajo to increase there memory of words and pronunciation. The game is random and kids can keep playing an increase their knowledge of the language.
Learning Navajo is a fun and exciting exercise for your child especially at a very young age. With the Navajo Toddler app, your child will enjoy the attraction of interactive flashcards, audio, and the positive feedback and progression through gameplay of the play module.
Here's what is in the Navajo Toddler app:
• Develop basic vocabulary in Navajo
• Immerse your child through our use of a native Navajo speaker
• Form word relationships quickly with categories of content
• High-quality and fun illustrations that help increase retention and
visual association
How to play:
• Select a lesson or category.
• Swipe from image to image and tap on the image to listen to the
native Navajo speaker
• Have you child repeat the word in Navajo to practice pronunciation
• Watch as your child enjoys learning the Navajo language.
• Select play
• Listen to the native Navajo speaker say the word.
• Click on one of the three images that match the word.
• After selecting the correct word and getting feedback, a new word
and set of images will appear.
• Your child can keep playing and become more familiar with
each word and pronunciation.
Additional features and lessons coming soon!

I love it but it needs to be updated
Apparently the app doesn't work well with the new iOS update and it is showing the check mark over icons during the quiz after the first question is answered. It doesn't say it is right there is just a giant green checkmark over some of the icons. Small factor for a great app that is helping me learn some vocabulary. :)
It's nice to see a Navajo language app on the App Store. The spelling, audible pronunciation and illustrations are really great. Although it does lack a lot of basic stuff: not all the colors are there, the bigger numbers beyond the teens and some more useful phrases. I hope the developers add more content soon.
Fix right and wrong checks on game mode
Love this app but when you play the game the x's and the check mark stay on the screen as you get the gestures or words right or wrong.. You can't see the pictures.. Please fix..

You need to set it up in the BIOS so that the computers first boot choice is the CD-ROM rather than the hard disk. You usually need to tap one of the function keys as the PC starts up. Have a look here to find out... http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm

What's happening now? Has it booted to Windows? Or do you have a set of options to choose from? If you have some options you could first try "restore to an earlier time". If that still doesn't work, try a "startup repair".

Gr 2–4
In this clever barnyard tale, Gallileon, a rooster with a large dose of teenage angst, must fill in for his father during his absence. The pressure of welcoming the new day is intense, but he succeeds after a few false starts. Returning to the coop, he finds his sister Pepina in trouble with their mother for being a bad influence on the smaller chicks. Forced by the hen to spend the day together, Gallileon and Pepina run into three menacing ducks and the meanest goose on the farm, Prattle. When he plays a practical joke that results in the kidnapping of Pepina, Gallileon must find the courage to defeat the bullies once and for all. The author has developed a cast of engaging and endearing characters. Gallileon and Pepina are particularly entertaining with their true-to-life, often-complicated, brother/sister relationship. The plot is quick paced and will keep the interest of readers new to chapter books. Occasional line drawings depict the animals' emotions. This engaging romp deserves a place in any library, urban or rural.—Melissa Christy Buron, Epps Island Elementary, Houston, TX

When I think of smooth and creamy desserts, the first two things that come to mind are pudding and mousse. While they share similar characteristics, these creamy, no-bake desserts have a few differences. Do you know what sets pudding and mousse apart?
After 1723 posts and several years of use, I've switched my blog from the proprietary, Google-owned-and-hosted Blogger to a self-hosted instance of the free software Ghost blogging application. If you are reading this in one of the blog agregators I'm carried on, you may have seen some old postings showing up as a result; apologies if this happens.
I've been watching the Ghost project for a while waiting for it to reach the point I could reasonably use it for my needs. It got there recently and I had the opportunity to move to a new server recently so took the plunge.
Here's what I really like about it, and why I went with it:
While the first three may be obvious in terms why they are important, I'd like to take a moment to talk about the last two.
It may sound like stating the obvious, but: I want a blogging system for my blog. Not a web site builder. Not a content management system. A blog application. As a counterexample, Wordpress has long exited the land of simple blogging system and become a website building suite. There is nothing wrong with that, but it means it diverges from my desire for a clean, minimal and elegant system for blogging. I've run a few Wordpress sites over the last few years, so I'm not just speaking hypothetically but from first-hand experience.
With Ghot, you write your blogs in a very plain and simple full-screen, two-pane user interface using markdown. No word-processor-wannabe toolbars, switching between keyboard and mouse, lots of menus everywhere. Just a text editor, a live preview next to it and all the editing and formating you could want in a blog. Tags live in a bar below, configuration in a slide-in drawer on the right, and a simple button to save and publish.
Yet in this simple system it still manages to have multiple author support, tag and author specific RSS feeds, static pages, theming ...
Since it runs as its own process, I can have systemd manage it as a separate service listening on a local socket with haproxy forwarding traffic to it. Upgrading the blog becomes a simple matter of setting up a parallel install, testing it, and when I'm happy with it changing the haproxy routing and restarting haproxy. Zero downtime, even if things go wrong. If a security problem or some other issue arrises, I can shut down just the blog and none of the other things I have running on the server are affected. I can even move it to another machine if desired without interuption.
While setting it up, along with other "must have" tools for me such as Kanboard, it reminded me of some aspects of the Kolab architecture, specficially how it is built around a swarm of services that take care of different aspects of the task of "collaboration suite" in concert with each other.
Finally, I'd like to give a shout-out to the author of the Willsong II theme. I purchased the theme after trying his no-cost Willsong 1 theme; it looks nice and professional, and I both wanted to support his efforts and get some of the nice features of Willsong II. It also happens to use the KDE Oxygen font by default, which I thought was pretty spiffy. Unfortunately I ran into some small problems with the theme after installing it. I wrote the author and he responded almost immediately and quickly identified and fixed a bug in the theme. He even customized it a bit for me, even though I didn't ask for that. So: great customer support, and he's got a few other themes with a shared common core that he's working on. If you're looking for a good Ghost theme I recommend giving his efforts a look.

Glassware in the laboratory comes in a range of different shapes and sizes, and is used for a number of purposes. Don't know your round-bottomed flask from your Florence flask, or your pipettes from your burettes? This graphic has you covered. Below there's also a little detail on the usage of each.
Basic Glassware
These items should be familiar to anyone who's been in a chemistry practical lesson in school. Test tubes are the archetypal image of chemistry, whilst beakers also make frequent appearances in school practicals. Boiling tubes aren't that different from test tubes in appearance, but are used when heating is required – they tend to be made of thicker glass, and are slightly larger and wider.
Of all the flasks used in chemistry, the most iconic is the conical (Erlenmeyer) flask. Named after the German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer, who created the flask in 1860, it's designed so that its contents can be swirled easily without spilling out. This also makes them useful for boiling liquids, and additionally their necks can support filter funnels.
Volumetric flasks are used primarily in the preparation of standard solutions. To create a solution of a specific concentration, we need to know the volume of the solution; the narrow neck of the volumetric flask will have a thin graduation to show where a specific volume is reached.
Round-bottomed flasks and Florence flasks look very similar, but there is a slight difference between the two. Both have round bottoms, designed to spread out heat evenly when they are heated. They are frequently used by chemists for reactions and in rotary evaporators. Whereas round-bottomed flasks will usually have a ground glass joint on their neck, to allow connection to other apparatus, Florence flasks, supposedly named after Florence in Italy, tend to merely have a lip. They can also come with either a flat bottom so they are free-standing, or a rounded bottom, and have longer necks.
The Kjeldahl flask has an even longer neck, and was developed for use in the Kjeldahl method, which is used to determine the nitrogen content in a substance.
Pear-shaped flasks are usually rather small flasks, used for small-scale distillations. Their shape allows recovery of more material than the round-bottomed flasks.
The rather odd-looking retort flasks are used in distillations, though their use was primarily before the advent of condensers. Today, they are very rarely used.
The Schlenk flask and the Straus flask are another two that look fairly similar. Schlenk flasks are commonly used in air-sensitive chemistry, as the side arm allows an inert gas such as nitrogen to be pumped into the vessel. The Straus flask, on the other hand, is used to store dried solvents. The main neck is actually filled in halfway up, and connected to a plugged smaller neck; this main neck can be connected to other apparatus, and allows the solvent to be extracted when the plug is slightly withdrawn or removed entirely.
Finally, the Claisen flask, designed by chemist Ludwig Claisen, is designed for vacuum distillation; distillation under vacuum produces problematic amounts of bubbles when solutions are boiled. Claisen's flask includes a capillary tube that inserts small bubbles into the liquid, easing the ferocity of boiling, whilst the branched portion of the flask hosts a thermometer. Today, Claisen's flask is less commonly used.
Funnels, Analysis & Separation
A variety of different apparatus can be used for filtration. The most obvious is the filter funnel, into which filter paper can be placed, and a mixture can then be poured through. The smaller thistle funnel is not used for filtering at all, but to add liquids into apparatus.
The Buchner flask can be used in conjunction with a Buchner funnel in vacuum filtration, and is a much quicker process than the gravity filtration used with normal filter funnels. A vacuum tube can be affixed to the flask's sidearm, which rapidly sucks through the solvent, leaving any solid in the Buchner funnel.
For separating solutions or liquids of different densities, separating funnels can be used. Liquids of a lower density will float to the top, then the mixtures can be tapped off separately. The similar-looking dropping funnel is used to add liquids or solutions to a reaction.
Another method of separating mixtures of compounds is column chromatography, which can be carried out using a chromatography column. The mixture is passed through a column of silicon dioxide or aluminium oxide, with different components of the mixture taking differing amounts of time to pass through the column.
Finally, the Thiele tube is a piece of apparatus used to determine the melting point of a solid compound. It contains and heats an oil bath, into which a sample can be placed along with a thermometer. Heating then allows melting point to be determined. The design of the flask allows the oil to circulate, ensuring even heating.
A range of different condensers can be utilised in laboratories as important components of distillation apparatus. The most commonly seen condenser in schools is the Liebig condenser, which has an inner tube through which vapour flows, surrounded by a 'jacket' through which cool water passes and condenses the vapour. The Graham condenser is similar to this, but has a coiled path for the vapour to flow through and condense. Meanwhile, the Friedrichs condenser inverts the arrangement, having a spiral coil through which the coolant flows, with the vapour surrounding it. Other varieties of condenser are also available, though are not shown here.
Another piece of glassware that falls loosely into this category is the fractionating column. This helps separate a mixture during distillation, as vapours collect and distill on the small glass 'trays' ascending the column. Only the most volatile gases will ascend all the way to the top of the column to be distilled off.
Measuring Apparatus
A number of pieces of chemistry glassware are used to accurately measure volumes; the most obvious being the graduated cylinder, or measuring cylinder, which can come in a variety of sizes.
For measuring volumes of solutions more precisely, a volumetric pipette can be used. These come in a variety of sizes, each measuring a fixed volume of solution. Graduated pipettes can also be used, which allow various small volumes to be measured out. For measurement of volumes during titrations (the addition of one solution to another to determine an unknown concentration) burettes are used. These are long, narrow tubes, with incremental volume markings, which allow precise volumes of solutions to be dropped into another solution.
For measuring the volume of gas produced in a reaction, a gas syringe can be used. This piece of apparatus can be attached to the top of a flask via a piece of tubing, and the gas produced pushes the plunger out of the syringe, allowing the gas volume to be measured.
The only piece of glassware we haven't mentioned is the Soxhlet extractor. This is used to extract chemicals from a solid sample into a liquid. You can see it in action in this video which details the extraction of caffeine from coffee.
