Growing up in rural Bihar and later in Kolkata, I have fond memories of the festival of Raksha Bandhan. In our ancestral village in Bihar, as a child I did not know for a long time that Dr Bhola mama, the homeopathy practitioner belonging to the upper caste Kayasth in our village was not my real mama (maternal uncle). It was only later that I learnt that since he did not have any blood sister, my mother had started tying a rakhi on his hand every year. The new relation that had suddenly begun then, has been maintained by both families even today and every time we visit the village we make it a point to meet him. I also remember his daughter tying a rakhi on my thin wrists.
When I was about 12 years old, my family permanently shifted to Kolkata. Our neighbour's daughters continued the tradition of rakhi here as well. But in middle and high school, it was a day of horror for most boys. The new girl in class you may have been eyeing for months may suddenly turn up with a rakhi for you instead! I myself had at least two such teenage heartbreaks. It did not matter if the girl was Muslim or Hindu, she would tie a rakhi and as a brother you were required to give some gifts (it would often be chocolates or pens).
As a Muslim, we were not very comfortable with artis and tika, so often only the ritual of tying a beautiful rakhi was done, followed by gifting sweets. Sometimes, our right hand would be filled with many rakhis and no one seemed to mind. When I moved to Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia for college, the ritual was not as widespread, but you still saw many girls tying rakhis.
Although a Hindu festival, Raksha Bandhan has truly turned into a secular Indian festival. Legend has it that Rani Karnavati of Chittor had sent a rakhi for the Mughal Emperor Humayun seeking protection from imminent invasion of Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. In 1905, as the British planned to partition Bengal under its policy of 'divide and rule,' Rabindranath Tagore invoked the rakhi to spread the message of mutual respect and communal harmony and encouraged members from two communities to tie sacred threads for each other.
The tradition has since continued in most parts of the country. But in today's communally vitiated environment where call centers are being opened to register complaints against eve-teasers only if they belong to a particular community, segregation is becoming the norm rather than exception. The onus of blame is not entirely on right-wing activists though, as increasingly everyone seems to be turning more puritanical.
For me, among all Hindu festivals, Raksha Bandhan still inspires most respect in my heart simply because of its sacred concept of promise of protection. However, as I continue to live in the so-called ghetto of Jamia Nagar in Delhi, I miss those sacred threads spreading friendship, fraternity and harmony.

Building types and floor plans vary by state and by region. By selecting your location, we can show you the products available in your market.
Modular building experts are standing by and ready to send you pricing and information on your modular building, classroom or storage solution needs.
From floor plan flexibility to great savings, the modern modular
building can offer your childcare facility many advantages when it
comes time for enrollments or opening a new childcare location.
Ease of construction. New,
permanent building projects are time consuming, expensive, and
require the services of hired architects and engineers to
successfully complete. Modular buildings, on the other hand, are
prefabricated at our facility and delivered to your site, ready to
Speed of installation. Once
your permits are in place and you are ready to receive your
building, delivery and installation of your new Mobile Modular
building will be complete in a matter of weeks.
Durability and maintenance.
A modular building is designed and built using materials that
require little maintenance beyond surface cleaning. Engineered for
long life and effective reuse, our modular buildings are
constructed to be highly durable and damage resistant. More
significant maintenance and repair needs are performed by Mobile
Adaptability. Depending on
your location and where you need to place your building, your
options for locating your new building are wider than that of fixed
construction. Modular buildings can be moved, modified and expanded
to meet your facility's changing space needs.
Cost. Compared to the
expense of building a new permanent structure, the costs of
selecting modular construction for your childcare center are very
attractive. You only pay for the building until you no longer need
it, and then it is redelivered back to our factory. Greater control
over the expenses involved in space acquisition and use directly
translates to a better ability to make good decisions that affect
the success of your business.
At Mobile Modular Management Corporation, it is more than taking another order - it is about providing you the solutions you require for your space needs.

Okay, so it's unconfirmed news, but the title of J.J. Abrams' next Star Trek movie has possibly been revealed. The Internet sleuths at Comingsoon.net found two domains registered through Markmonitor, an anonymous domain registry service used in the past by Paramount Pictures.
A recent interview with Chris Pine (Captain Kirk) hinted at a darker journey for the Enterprise crew, which makes the rumored title Star Trek Into Darkness seem more than appropriate.

Executive Committee of the American Institute of Physics
Minutes of Meeting
October 1, 1965
Members Present: Ralph A. Sawyer – Chairman, W. W. Havens, Jr., R. B. Lindsay, Vincent E. Parker, Mary E. Warga
Absent: S. A. Goudsmit, S. L. Quimby
AIP Staff Present: Van Zandt Williams, Wallace Waterfall, G. F. Gilbert, Mary M. Johnson
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 2:35 p.m.
1. Minutes
Upon motion made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote, the minutes of the 10 June 1965 Executive Committee meeting were approved with the following correction: Page 6, Item 7, Line 5, change "19 April 1965" to "26 April 1965."
2. Financial Matters
Corporate Resolution on Safe Deposit Box
The Secretary reported that the Institute had accepted custody from William F. Meggers of his coin and stamp collection of which we will receive as a gift from Mr. Meggers a portion of the collection not to exceed $6,000 each year. An appraisal is being made and we should have the report soon. The collection is being kept in a vault at Bankers Trust Company and we are required by the bank to furnish a resolution authorizing the rental of the vault. The following motion was made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote:
MOVED that the form of resolution required by Bankers Trust Company for the rental of a safe deposit vault be approved.
Bankers Trust Savings Account
The Treasurer distributed copies of a memorandum (copy attached to official minutes) outlining details of a loan made on 25 August 1965. The Institute borrowed $200,000 from Bankers Trust Company at 4 ½% interest to keep intact for the full quarter our savings account which is earning 4%. Interest on the $200,000 in our savings account will be $2,000 for the quarter. The loan can be paid on 1 October and the interest will be $925, giving us a net gain of $1,075.00.
There is a balance of $941,977 in our savings account and the staff recommends that $300,000 be transferred to the Investment Advisory Account. This would leave $441,977 after payment of the loan, and it is believed this would be an adequate reserve for current operations in view of increasing receipts during the balance of the year. The following motion was made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote:
MOVED that the staff be authorized to proceed with the financial transactions proposed above.
Salary of Treasurer and Controller
The Treasurer absented himself from the meeting and the Secretary reported that Mr. Gilbert had not been granted an increase in salary at the time he was appointed Treasurer and Controller last April, with the understanding that his salary would be reviewed in October. The Director and the Secretary recommended that the Treasurer's compensation be increased starting 1 October 1965 and, after brief discussion, the following motion was made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote:
MOVED that the salary of the Treasurer and Controller be increased to $18,000 per year, effective 1 October 1965.
(MOTION on official minutes only.)
3. Election of Corporate Associates
The Secretary reported that the following organizations had requested to become Corporate Associates of the Institute and, upon motion made and passed they were so elected:
|Kollmorgen Corporation (effective 1965)
|Tibbetts Industries, Inc. (effective 1966)
The Director commented that the number of Corporate Associates for 1965 is 161, compared with 166 last year.
4. Approval of Increases in AIP Journal Page Budgets
The Secretary reported that increased pages in some of our journals are anticipated for this year, as follows:
|Original Budget
|September Projection
|Increase Over Budget
|8750 pages
|8900 pages
|150 pages
|2300 pages
|2450 pages
|150 pages
|1600 pages
|1750 pages
|150 pages
|640 pages
|650 pages
|10 pages
The increased page budgets were shown in the projection to the end of the year in the quarterly financial statement for the period ending 30 June 1965 on the assumption they would be approved by the Executive Committee.
Upon motion made, seconded and passed, the above increases were approved.
5. Appointments
Upon motion made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote, the following appointments were approved:
Van Zandt Williams was appointed AIP representative to the Scientific Manpower Commission for a 3-year term beginning 1 January 1966 to replace W. C. Kelly whose term will expire on 31 December 1965.
Mary E. Warga was reappointed as one of our two representatives to the AAAS Council for a 2-year term beginning 15 January 1966.
The Secretary stated that additional appointments which should be made before the end of this year are as follows:
Five members of the Magnetics Conference Advisory Committee for 3-year terms.
Members of the Advisory Panel on Project to Assist Science Writers in Following Advances Reported in AIP Journals for 1-year terms.
Editorial and Advisory Boards for AIP Journals for 3-year terms.
The Secretary said that candidates are being sought and, upon motion made and passed, the Chairman and Director were authorized to make the necessary appointments when suitable nominees have been found.
6. Request to Support Publication of Handbook on "Radiation Protection for Teaching Institutions"
Lauriston Taylor, President of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, had approached Mr. Quimby about AIP financial support for publishing the handbook but, because both Messrs. Quimby and Taylor have been out of the country, the Secretary said he had had difficulty getting details. He had reached Mr. Taylor by telephone on the morning of this meeting and Mr. Taylor had suggested that no action be taken on his request at this time. Further information will be supplied when it is available.
7. Publication of "Soviet Physics – CRYSTALLOGRAPHY" Volume I
AIP started its publication of "Soviet Physics – CRYSTALLOGRAPHY" with Volume II of the Russian journal. We have been informed that Volume I contains valuable material and a survey has indicated that we should be able to sell at least 400 copies. It is an expensive volume to publish because of color plates but we should break even selling 400 copies at $50 each.
The following motion was made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote:
MOVED that the Institute be authorized to undertake the translation and publication in English of Volume I of "Soviet Physics – CRYSTALLOGRAPHY."
8. Subsidy for Current Papers in Physics
The Secretary reported that the Institution of Electrical Engineers in London is planning to start a new semi-monthly current awareness publication for physicists, "Current Papers in Physics." It will contain the titles and names of authors of current journal articles in physics. Details have not yet been worked out but it appears that IEE must get about $8.50 per subscription based on 5,000 member subscriptions, including 3,000 from the United States. If the total number of subscriptions is greater, the price can be less.
Our Physics Abstracts Committee has recommended that AIP enter into an agreement similar to that which we now have on PHYSICS ABSTRACTS, whereby we would offer member subscriptions at $5.00 with the Institute absorbing the difference. The estimated subsidy required from us would be between $7,500 and $10,000 for a year.
The $10 abstract charge which we now collect on journal articles is being used to subsidize member subscriptions to PHYSICS ABSTRACTS but it appears that there will be $15,000 to $20,000 which will not be used for PA subsidies this year and could be used to subsidize CPiP. The Director said a suggestion to request a grant from NSF was rejected on the grounds that the amount involved is small enough that it can be borne by AIP.
After brief discussion, the following motion was made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote:
MOVED that up to $10,000 be appropriated for the purpose of subsidizing member subscriptions to "Current Papers in Physics" in the manner indicated, with the understanding that this program is limited to one year and will be re-examined at the end of that time.
9. Future Meetings
Dates for future meetings of the Executive Committee were set as follows:
- Saturday, 11 December 1965
- Friday, 28 January 1966 (breakfast meeting at New York Hilton)
- Friday, 25 March 1966 (preceding Governing Board meeting 26 March 1966)
- Friday, 10 June 1966
The meeting adjourned at 3:45 p.m.

Today's Local Music: Sage
By Steven Short
There are all sorts of sub-categories of music, but we think the band called Sage, who you are hearing now, may be the only practitioners of what they call Ukulele Rock.
Sage will be one of three bands performing Sunday, October 27th at the Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco. It's a Halloween show, with a "party animal" theme. The audience is asked to come "as a spirit guide animal." It can be your least favorite, or favorite, imaginary or real. Perhaps you should let your spirit animal guide help with your decision. Doors open at 8:00pm.

Activity and Interests
The City of Bradenton Beach is located at the southernmost end of Anna Maria Island. While Bradenton Beach is by far the narrowest part of the island and at times is less than one block wide, the activities and action of this vibrant city are boundless. Many restaurants and shops await you.
Coquina Beach at the very south end of Bradenton Beach is a wide, tree lined public facility featuring numerous picnic tables, outside showers and public restrooms. White sandy beaches and emerald green waters lure beachcombers to spend the day in the sun. Just across from Coquina Beach is Leffis Key, a largely undiscovered nature trail with almost ½ mile of boardwalks meandering through a nature preserve. It's a designation for many bird watching groups.
There are three additional parks in Bradenton Beach. The Katie Pierola Sunset Park; the Herb Dolan Park on 26th Street North and Avenue A and the Lou Barolo Park on Highland Avenue and 4th Street South.
Many fishing piers and marinas can be found in Bradenton Beach. If you want to rent a boat during your stay, stop by the Bradenton Beach Marina. They have whatever type of boat you need. At the end of Bridge Street, you'll find the Bradenton Beach City Pier which is historically the end of the original bridge coming onto the island. Boat ramps can be located at Bay Side Park at the southern tip of the city.
The Tingley Library is located on 2nd Street North in Bradenton Beach.
Restaurants abound in Bradenton Beach. If you're hungry for a pizza, a burger or a romantic upscale dinner on the beach, it's easily found!
At the south end of Bradenton Beach you'll find the bridge to Longboat Key, our neighboring island to the south. The bridge offers easy access to Sarasota, Lido Key, Sand Key and St. Armand's circle.
Reminiscent of days gone by, Bradenton Beach features many quaint shops and galleries, featuring the work of local artists. Many festivals, farmer's markets and art shows take place on Bridge Street on a regular basis. It's peaceful, it's quaint; it's a way of life!

"I am looking forward to attending this year's HBA because our world is changing so rapidly that it will be interesting to see how suppliers are keeping up with new trends, ideas and innovations to meet this new challenging world," said Philippe Chansel, Director Product Development, MAC Cosmetics.
More than 100 new products are expected to be showcased by HBA exhibitors which includes top suppliers of primary and secondary packaging, high performance ingredients and raw materials, private label and contract manufacturers, brushes, delivery systems, naturals, and for the first time finished goods.
"I always find the HBA show stimulating;
For three days, anyone involved in product development will be immersed in the latest developments for cosmetics, fragrance, personal care, skin care and wellness industries. "The life blood of the cosmetic industry is new products, new delivery systems and innovative packaging…without the HBA Expo we would be dependent on individual client/supplier meetings which could limit the scope of our explorations and new product development,"
Debbie Feynman, Manager, Product Development, Maybelline, also finds value from the HBA event. "Attending the HBA intensifies my passion for beauty and helps stimulate my creativity,"
In addition to the new products and services being displayed on the HBA exhibit floor, attendees will also have a classroom to the industry with the HBA Global Conference. Organized around five tracks, the HBA Conference will cover sessions on Marketing, Technical Advancements, Green Products and Sustainability, International Business, and the latest in Skin Care. More than 200 experts in all facets of beauty, branding, personal care, product development, and retail sales will present new information and ideas at this in-depth educational program

Leon Draisaitl remains with the Oilers past nine games, but there is always room for improvement. Head Coach Dallas Eakins expects Draisaitl to just continue to improve and show the things that kept him here.
"What every player on our lineup is doing," Eakins said. "We're always looking to improve our habits, we're looking to be students of the game, we're looking to be very fit, we're working to compete very hard every night. It's nothing that we aren't asking of all our players."
The decision to keep Draisaitl was an easy one according to Eakins. He continued to improve and never fell off when it came to facing the pressure or competition.
"He continues to improve," Eakins said. "If he had fallen off of a cliff somewhere along the way that would have been the easy decision. It's been a very easy discussion. He's earned his right, he continues to get better and those are positive signs for us."
Oilers Head Coach Dallas Eakins spoke with the media after practice on Tuesday and provided injury updates on the team.
Nikitin (back spasms) will likely have an MRI and Hendricks had a simple maintenance day today after plenty of bumps & bruises last night.
— Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) October 28, 2014
Viktor Fasth and Luke Gazdic are both on the mend and each player is getting "very close to returning."
Their statuses have been upgraded to "day-to-day."
Nikita Nikitin missed last night's game against Montreal. He is suffering from back spasms and will likely have an MRI.
Matt Hendricks was the only other player to miss practice on Tuesday, but the prognosis is good. It was a maintenance day for the winger after a tough game last night. He was knocked out of the game for a bit after being pushed into the boards by P.K. Subban. He did return to the game.
For the time being, Leon Draisaitl will continue to don the Edmonton Oilers sweater. The club made that official on Tuesday morning after practice when Head Coach Dallas Eakins made the announcement.
"You shouldn't be surprised that he's on the ice," Eakins said. "He's part of our hockey team, he's earned the right to be here today and be in the lineup tomorrow. It shouldn't be a be a big distraction for our team. It's part of the process of us getting better and it's not a big topic at all in our room. All we're concerned about is practice today and the Nashville Predators tomorrow."
The third-overall pick in this year's draft will play his 10th NHL game tomorrow night against Nashville.
Stay tuned for more from practice.
Scrivens, Bachman & Fasth (groin) all participating in #Oilers practice today in Leduc. Nikita Nikitin, however, is not on the ice.

No Nikita Nikitin on the ice. He missed last night's game. No Matt Hendricks either. He was on the receiving end of a head first hit into the boards last night. He returned later in the game.
The Oilers have racked up four straight wins and they've come against quality opponents. Perhaps their toughest task yet was tonight against Montreal and they shut them down, 3-0.
A large contingency of Habs fans were in attendance at Rexall Place and they energy in the building was high. The Oilers and Habs fans chanted and screamed throughout the game. It was loud and exciting.
The Oilers fed off their crowd, as they have all throughout this homestand.
"I know one thing," Head Coach Dallas Eakins said. "Since we've been home here our crowd has been able to push us along, whether we've been even in the game, down by a goal or up by a goal. The guys are talking about it on the bench, when they get behind you like that. It happens when these teams like Montreal or Toronto comes in there are lots of people that want to wear their colours. When you've got your own fans up there fighting with the other ones, our guys want to get in on the action too. It was electric down there on the ice. There was a lot of stuff going on down on the ice, a lot of players yapping back and forth and you saw the battles. It made for a fun night here in the building."
The Oilers have rattled off four straight wins, all against Eastern Conference opponents. They've been quality opponents too, with the Oilers beating Montreal, Tampa Bay and Washington.
But why haven't the Oilers had success against teams in their own conference?
"It may be a confidence thing, I'm trying to figure it out," Head Coach Dallas Eakins said. "It's easy to sit and say that word 'heaviness' in our division and things like that. I'm starting to not buy that. It may be a confidence issue and we're going to look at that. That's a very good hockey team that we played tonight and we were able to play with them, we got some excellent goaltending, we were able to kill penalties when we needed to and we were able to score when we needed to. I can't see why we can't have that same type of confidence that our players exuded tonight against teams in our own division."
The Oilers still have plenty of hockey left to prove they can get their own conference record on par with that against the East. As they've shown, starting 0-4-1 wasn't the end of the world either. They're sitting at 4-4-1 with two games left in their homestand.
"I think it's great," Benoit Pouliot said. "Our start wasn't the best but it's a long season. We're only nine games in so there's a lot of hockey left. Even though you start bad… we're not going to be winning every night for sure. It's just a matter of being consistent at doing it and not going into a slump like at the beginning of the year and we'll be fine."
The National Hockey League announced today, Ben Scrivens has been named the second star of the week.
Scrivens posted a 3-0-0 record with a 2.33 goals-against average and .920 save percentage to lead the Oilers (3-4-1, 7 points) to their first three-game winning streak since Jan. 26-29. He made 22 saves in a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning Oct. 20, a season-high 32 saves in a 3-2 triumph over the Washington Capitals Oct. 22 and 27 saves in a 6-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes Oct. 24.
The 28-year-old Spruce Grove, Alberta native is 3-3-0 with a 3.31 goals-against average and .882 save percentage in seven appearances this season. This marks the second time in Scrivens' 79-game NHL career that he has posted a personal winning streak of at least three games; he won a career-high four consecutive games from Nov. 14-19, 2013, while with the Los Angeles Kings.

Nail Yakupov had a difficult season last year. It resulted in some frustrations with the winger, who saw his successful rookie season get overshadowed by a less productive sophomore season.
The first-overall pick in 2012 has bounced back to show marked improvement in his third NHL season.
"Night and day," Head Coach Dallas Eakins said. "His confidence level is much higher, he has a firm grasp on how to play without the puck and he's getting good looks at the net. Last game he had a couple of incredible (Grade A) chances that just missed. He knows that if he keeps getting those chances they're going to go in. All that stats stuff will look after itself if he keeps playing the way he is. He's been a real physical play for us as well. He's come in not afraid to throw his body around, he's providing some electricity with the puck."
Eakins says he's a better player having gone through a disappointing year like he did.
"He's a far different young man this year than he was last year and that was a hard year for him last year. It's tough to go through, but the silver lining in all that is that it's important to go through because it makes you stronger, you learn lessons and then he's able to help out players coming on behind him that will go through it too. He's a far better player and he's maturing nicely for us."
The Oilers have shown an ability to rebound when their opponent takes the lead or steals back momentum by tying things up. It's been a theme for them in their three straight wins.
That mentality that they can bounce back in the face of adversity has been a turnaround from last season.
"I think it's a combination of everything," Jeff Petry said. "It has really been said by the coaching staff but also from the players, maybe even before the coaching staff had said it, that it was just our feeling as a group to move forward we've got to a team that if we do go down one or we're up one we're not changing the style of play. We're going to play that style for 60 minutes and that's something that we've just got to sustain."
There is a calm demeanour on the bench when the Oilers get pushback from their opponent. They've been able to erase the memory of a negative play and turn things around on the next shift.
"It is more calm," Petry said. "It's not if a bad play happens it deflates the bench. It's the next shift that's the most important. Whoever is going out there is going out there to do a job and to focus on that next shift. That play that happened just prior is done. I think that's something that we've done a lot better. If we do get down a goal it's not, 'here we go again,' it's let's turn up the pace even more to get back in there, get down there and score a goal to tie it up."

For the first time scientists have engineered a series of molecules that show quantum effects similar to that observed in the light-harvesting complexes. Greg Engel's group in University of Chicago have been able to both understand as well as mimic the efficient mechanism of light transfer happening in plants.
Aside from other benefits, this would lead to the production of artificial energy-transfer devices which could use the mechanism efficiently.
Photosynthetic antennae are arrays of proteins and chlorophyll which transfer absorbed light energy to the reaction centres where light energy is converted to chemical energy. This enhances the efficiency of light transfer compared to the process when light is absorbed directly by the reaction centres themselves. The secret of the efficiency of the transfer process lies in quantum electronic coherence that stretches over some femtoseconds (a femtosecond is a millionth of a billionth of a second). When there is coherence, energy from the incoming photon can simultaneously explore every possible cholorophyll route from the protein's surface to the reaction centre at its core and then settle for the shortest route. Compare this with the time and energy wasted if the photon had to sequentially try out every path before reaching the reaction centre. Thus the efficiency of the process is increased manifold.
The researchers have engineered a series of molecules that show quantum effects similar to that observed in the light-harvesting complexes. Biological light-harvesting systems are so complex that they obscure the design principles involved. However, the model systems engineered by the group are simpler yet manage to capture the physics involved, according to the report published on April 18 in Science Express.
The main actor in this is a dye-like material called fluorescein. The researchers modified fluorescein and linked parts of these together rigidly to form a series of compounds. The resulting molecules were able to mimic the behaviour of light-harvesting centres in plants that use photosynthesis, especially the coherences which persists for over tens of femtoseconds. They infer the presence of this coherence using two-dimensional spectroscopy.
To observe the quantum coherence in the system, the team shone laser light into the system and recorded the emitted light by means of a camera and recorded it in movies.
Every frame of the movie was a two-dimensional spectrum. The movie showed quantum beats, or oscillations, in a particular region, which is evidence of quantum coherence. It is an exciting thought for the future that discovery of this molecule series and the mechanism of energy transfer may initiate the development of synthetic light harvesters which could lead to highly efficient and green energy manufacturing units.

Charge transfer chemical ionization (CI) was among the ionization types studied decades ago by researchers investigating fundamental characteristics of chemical ionization.1 However, the technique was not widely adopted for use in vacuum source mass spectrometry. This is likely due, at least in part, to practical difficulties associated with maintaining the proper reagent gas density to promote efficient charge exchange in a mass spectrometer equipped with an ion source under vacuum. Conversely, atmospheric pressure ionization sources have a very high gas capacity, allowing optimum conditions for charge exchange CI without placing excessive (gas) load upon the vacuum system of the mass spectrometer.2
More recently, an Atmospheric Pressure Gas Chromatography (APGC) system was developed by McEwen,3 then at DuPont (Wilmington, DE). The system couples a standard GC to a modified LC/MS instrument (Waters Corp., Milford, MA). The system was further developed and commercialized by Waters in 2008. The source is based on a Waters universal source architecture for which the sample cone used in electrospray is replaced with a specific ion chamber for APGC (Figure 1).
A corona pin is present inside the ion chamber and is used to generate a nitrogen plasma that reacts with either the analyte molecules or any modifier present in the ionization region.
There are two primary mechanisms of ionization that APGC can undergo:
It is possible to influence the ionization in APGC by altering source conditions. APGC ionization is "soft," i.e., fragmentation of compounds is very low, especially when compared to electron ionization (EI). This means that sensitivity and selectivity are increased and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) precursor selection is simplified. The system is designed such that it can be changed from LC to GC quickly without the need to break vacuum.
The use of APGC for the analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) was investigated using a Waters Xevo TQ-S as an ultratrace quantification platform. Two examples of the data are given below.
Kotz, Winterhalter, and Traag used a Xevo TQ-S for the analysis of dioxins and furans and compared it to existing GC-high-resolution MS (GC-HRMS). Sample preparation and cleanup were performed using a validated method developed by the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL),4 and were identical for both techniques. A reduced cleanup was also analyzed to test instrument selectivity. Calibration solutions (0.0125–0.5 pg/μL, 2,3,7,8-TCDD [2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin]) were analyzed to check the linearity of the system. Dilutions of the lowest standard (31.3, 12.5, 6.3, 3.1 fg, TCDD) were used to test the absolute sensitivity of the technique.
The raw, unsmoothed chromatograms for the MRM transition (m/z 320 > 257) for 2,3,7,8- TCDD (absolute concentrations between 2.5 pg and 3.1 fg) are shown in Figure 4. The peak areas showed good correlation to the absolute injected amount on column with an R2 > 0.99.
Data acquired using APGC-MS/MS show an appreciable level of background noise; this permits the use of signal-to-noise to calculate limits of detection. However, in order to check the reliability of the results in this low concentration range, the ion abundance ratio and the relative response factors are important additional criteria. The deviations of the theoretical ion abundance ratio should be within ±15% of theoretical value and the deviation of the relative response factor of the mean value ≤30% (with a CV ≤20% for the complete calibration). Applying these criteria, LOQs were calculated based on calibration standards and dilutions. For 2,3,7,8-TCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-furan), LOQs were obtained in the range of 10–30 fg on column. These results are similar (and in some cases better) than a magnetic sector instrument.
Results of APGC-MS/MS measurements were compared with assigned values from proficiency testing (PT) and mean values of quality control materials obtained from GC-HRMS analysis. The APGC-MS/MS system showed sufficient sensitivity to analyze samples in the range of action and maximum levels. Deviations of the results of APGC-MS/MS from reference values were below 20% for the WHO-PCDD/F (polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans)/TEQ (toxic equivalent) (Figure 5). Also, deviations for individual congeners fell within acceptable tolerances.
The fish oil sample was analyzed after applying normal cleanup (A), cleanup without a carbon column (B), and cleanup without a carbon and florisil column (C). For fish oil sample C, considerable differences between the assigned value and the APGC-MS/MS result could be observed due to unresolved interferences on PCDFs. This indicated that cleanup is important for the quality of the analytical results (as in magnetic sector analysis), but carbon column cleanup may be removed.
Initial studies demonstrated sufficient sensitivity of the APGC-MS/MS for the monitoring of maximum and action levels for PCDD/F in feed and food matrices. As previously shown for other GC-MS/MS systems, the monitoring of two transition product ions provides selectivity for the analysis of PCDD/F, which is comparable to GC-HRMS at a resolution 10,000 (at 10% valley). The proposed amendments to EU regulations for the application of GC-MS/MS as a confirmatory method can also be met by the APGC-MS/MS system. The application of different cleanup methods for fish oil demonstrates that the extraction and cleanup steps have considerable influence on the quality of the analytical results.
Work carried out by Hernández et al.5 showed application of a pesticide method developed for the Xevo TQ-S APGC. The pesticides under study were sorted into three model groups as a function of their fragmentation pattern under the EI source:
Group 1—No M+ present
Group 2—Highly fragmented compounds
Group 3—EI spectra are similar.
Due to the nature of ionization by APGC, it is known that this technique can offer some significant advantages for difficult pesticide analysis by increasing the intensity of the molecular ion. Table 1 shows the relative intensity of the molecular (or quasi-molecular) ion in each different mode of operation.
* +, very small peak; ++, clearly identifiable peak (>20%); +++, base peak(or >80%).
It can be seen from the table that the majority of the compounds tested show a good intensity of the molecular (or quasi-molecular) ion. This is a significant advantage for the selection of the precursor ion for MS/MS analysis. When combined with the high sensitivity of the Xevo TQ-S and the ability to swap between LC and GC, it is a powerful system solution.
Preliminary experiments on linearity and precision of the APGC-MS/MS method have been performed with satisfactory results. Applicability of the method has been also tested in real samples comparing responses of fortified blank QuEChERS extracts and standards in solvent. No matrix-induced differences in ionization or fragmentation have been observed, and few, if any, interferences have been detected in MRM transitions (see Figure 6).
The Waters Xevo TQ-S APGC offers significant advantages over traditional EI/GC/MS methods. Due to the nature of the ionization, reduced fragmentation is observed, and therefore a higher abundance of the molecular ion, leading to higher sensitivity and selectivity. The ability of the system to be rapidly changed from LC to GC makes it possible for the analyst to react to business demands with minimal down time. The Xevo TQ-S APGC offers highly sensitive, selective, easy-to-use, and flexible analytical performance.

We used to break the needles and burn out a lot of plugs running 40% Powermaster and as much compression as possible. I never did break an engine from a crash, though. Even the plastic carb housings would allow the needle to swing without stripping the threads..so they lasted quite well. The TD engines didn't start breaking down [in droves] until after the VAs and Norvels arrived. The flyers started cutting down the rubber 5x3s to help keep the TDs competitive and the extra rpm [anything above 25,000] lead to predictably rapid failures. Nobody I knew of were running lightened pistons back then, though. If so, then these engines can run near 28,000 for much longer before something goes wrong...much like a good KillerBee does.
Wow, CP, you really drove those engines hard in competition, amazing and fantastic, what it took to maintain a competitive edge over the competition. About the only thing that I that may even come close are two of the old 290 red square back engines of the late 1960's, donor engines from the Cox RTF's like the P-51's. I remember articles in the modeling magazines of using them for 1/2-A Proto racing. I gather Leroy Cox or one of the other engine experts knew what they were doing back then.
I think that what prevails is simply what is available through left over parts. I think that those who purchased the remaining inventory are doing their best to QA so that one is not stuck with a dysfunctional engine, but at least is guaranteed to have a reasonably successful engine experience. This is why now one pays $25 US instead of $7 US.
The Sure Start based series of engines are not intended to be anything more than sport engines. They will basically perform as well as the Babe Bee engine and provide those with a satisfactory experience, if properly applied in the correctly matched airframe and TLC exercised in fuel choices. Of course one can tweak them to improve, such as drilling out the venturi hole, changing out the piston and cylinder with one that has SPI, etc.
The more expensive engines have more scrutiny put into them, with better parts for improved performance, which would be expected, IMO.

I came in when the TDs were being run really hard, but their popularity was on the downward slope. If it wasn't for a lucky encounter with local combat flyers going at it, I would have never given it a try.
Larry Driskill wrote a great article about how to get started in 1/2 A combat for Model Aviation back around 1987. He submitted a construction article for his own plane and also about how to make the TDs competitive. Being from Texas, he was right in the middle of a very strong combat community...guys who traveled all over the USA and the World to fly combat.
Detailing the fit of the crankshaft to the case by polishing the crank [by spinning it with a drill motor and rubbing it with sink cleaner mixed with oil] and grinding away a little bit of excess surface area on the crank journal was one of Larry's hottest tips that any Cox engine would benefit from. Anyone who followed Larry's advice with a handful of low time TDs should have been able to come away with at least 1/2 of them contest ready.
Joe Klaus at Kustom Kraftsmanship was another valuable resource. I would have liked to see how he was able to crank out those little parts fast enough to keep the prices low and without going bonkers if he had to stand over the machine while each and every single part was being made.
Finished! Time to fly.....

Probably a good idea, yeah.
And people who say "you'll only get a virus if you're careless" are talking nonsense. Don't need to go around clicking .EXE files you find in emails, all it takes is one dodgy web site to get you with a drive-by download.

In twenty odd years of using PCs I've had to deal with a virus on my own machine maybe three or four times in total, each time something fundamentally harmless. On the other side of the coin, working in IT shit I saw countless computers that were pretty well protected on the virus side of things that were still infested from people randomly clicking on things and following links on emails and so on and so forth. I'm pretty confident in saying that 90% of virus problems will be because of end user spasticity rather than any stealthy backdoor nonsense.
Yeah it's all rather silly. Chrome+Adblock and some basic free scanner with a mixture of common sense is far better than whatever some sponsored website will recommend.
Nothing is fool proof, why pretend anything different.

meme wrote:Well no that's not the simple answer because you don't need to browse dodgy web sites to get hit. I've been using PCs my entire life and only had a couple of virus issues, but the most problematic was fairly recently when an exploit on a site injected some stupid bloody malware that hijacked the system and royally fucked up Windows. This was Win 7, using Chrome with AdBlock, on a site that I had visited previously without issue and was not flagged as a threat by Google or any of the security software until it was too late.
It was pure bad luck, and sometimes that's all it takes. My experience was out of the norm, but saying 'just don't go on dodgy sites' is of absolutely no help to anyone.
Well, it was more suggesting that if you pay attention to what you're doing you don't need a/v scanners running constantly in the background. It's usually fairly obvious if malware jumps on from a browser exploit, and most of those times a/v protection wouldn't do jack shit about that anyway.
I stand by the opinion that individual end users at home are better off educating themselves and having an ounce of common sense, doing a one-off scan every once in a while than relying on constantly running software in an attempt to protect themselves from their own stupidity.
On business networks it's another story, obviously.

You cannot seriously think it's worth risking a buggered up system or worse just to claw back a few MBs in memory or a % of CPU resources. Unless you're using a really shitty outdated and poorly maintained machine (or running Norton or McAfee) you will be able to keep AV running in the background without any noticeable impact on performance.
If someone got a virus because they'd opened an attachment on a viagra email, and they weren't running AV as they'd been informed it was pointless, I'd blame the person who told them that.
No, I think that, for an educated user with common sense, the risk is negligible enough to not warrant being concerned about it, system resource hog or no.
I also never said "running AV is pointless". Someone who's stupid enough to click on viagra spam attachments needs protection, sure, but sensible people don't do that.
Any person who educates themselves about security would conclude that having AV software running is a perfectly sensible thing to do.
Edited by PearOfAnguish at 18:38:05 21-03-2013
That's like saying any sensible person who educates themselves about road safety would conclude that staying inside all the time is a perfectly sensible thing to do.
It is, but at the same time, it isn't.
Now you're getting silly.
What exactly are the downsides to having AV running in the background?
No real downsides other than it being a bit pointless for anyone who knows what they're doing. Use a decent browser with ad-block, keep software and the OS up to date, don't click on random shit, do a mwb or super scan every once in a while will keep things just as clean as leaving AVG running 24/7.
The first three you should be doing regardless of any a/v stuff anyway.

I sailed (both raced and cruised) a C&C37+ for 10 years and did a few off-shore races. I would not consider that boat a serious off-shore boat. By sparten do you mean no radar, no lfe raft, no weather routing, no dodger? What is the skipper's experience on the boat on far off-shore sailing? You do know that you will probably experience strong fronts aabout every 3-5 days that time of year. At this moment here in Sint maarten we are experiencing the Christmas winds over 30kts with 15 ft seas. That C&C will pound hard enough to loosen your dental fillings.

Cambridge day 1Posted 16th February 2010 by ecemmerson
Dear All,
It has been quite an experience since landing in England yesterday. I have had a day and half to make preparations for the next week as The Learning English Video Project continues in Cambridge. As you will have seen from previous posts, our objective here is to find out about homestay and to provide you with an insight as to what homestay is like in Cambridge and how it might benefit English language students. I am pleased to say that I am working with Bell International College, one of the biggest schools of it's kind, and Homestay Consultancy in interviewing hosts, educators and students about their homestay experiences.
Today I met with two Bell homestay students, one from Venezuala and one from Belgium. They both had some very interesting things to say about homestay, making for a great start to the project here in Cambridge.
Keep checking the blog for more updates as I hope to write every day and to start including some pictures of Cambridge very soon! In the meantime, please see a couple of pictures from today's escapades below.
Best wishes,
An interview at Bell International College

America's greenest college: University of Washington
Sierra magazine's 2011 Cool Schools list is out, and the University of Washington has earned the top spot.
Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 11:16 AM
Sierra magazine's fifth annual Cool Schools list is out, and the University of Washington takes the top spot with a score of 81.2. The University of Washington climbed up from number four last year to oust Green Mountain College from the first-place spot.
Sierra magazine recognized several different eco-conscious programs in place at the school including the University of Washington's green building program. Every new building completed since 2006 has earned a LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Other green features recognized by Sierra magazine include the use of EnergyStar appliances, the school's use of renewable energy and a comprehensive campus recycling program.
Poultney, Vermont-based Green Mountain College, last year's greenest college, came in just behind the University of Washington with a score of 81.1 out of 100. Green programs in place at the school include a renewable energy program courtesy of Central Vermont Cow Power — yes, cow power. The company captures the biogas from cow manure and converts it into usable energy.
The University of California at San Diego (UCSD) earned the number three spot this year, climbing up from number 15 on the Cool Schools 2010 list. UCSD's generous use of solar energy helped the school snag a top three ranking this year.
While these three colleges should be commended for their eco-friendly commitments, the entire top 10 list deserves recognition.
Sierra's 2011 Top 10 Coolest Schools:
- University of Washington (Seattle, Wash.)
- Green Mountain College (Poultney, Vt.)
- University of California, San Diego (San Diego, Calif.)
- Warren Wilson College (Asheville, N.C.)
- Stanford University (Stanford, Calif.)
- University of California, Irvine (Irvine, Calif.)
- University of California, Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz, Calif.)
- University of California, Davis (Davis, Calif.)
- Evergreen State College (Olympia, Wash.)
- Middlebury College (Middlebury, Vt.)
The 2011 Cool Schools list was created after 118 different schools responded to Sierra magazine's 12-page eco questionnaire. The survey included questions in 10 different categories, with a maximum of 10 points available in each category: energy supply, efficiency, food, academics, purchasing, transportation, waste management, administration, financial investments and other initiatives.
For more information on the top 10 schools or to see how your alma mater ranked, visit Sierra's 2011 Coolest Schools information page.

SANTUC — A local church will host a free event for its entire community this weekend.
Santuc Community Fun Day will be held from 3-6 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 21, at Salem Baptist Church, 1835 Tinker Creek Road.
Pastor Jim Wiseman said this event is for everyone in the surrounding community.
"We had been talking for awhile on how we could let the rest of the people in our community know that we care for them," Wiseman said. "How could we show them that God loves each and every one of them? Someone suggested we throw them a party, and that's what the Santuc Community Fun Day is all about. We're having a party for all of the people in our neighborhood."
The event will feature a bounce house; free hot dogs, snow cones, popcorn and drinks; a dunk tank (dunking Pastor Jim); balloon animals; face painting; temporary tattoos; games; and live music from the Cathcart family at 5 p.m. A fire truck from the Santuc Fire Department will be on display for the children. There will also be a door prize giveaway of items donated by local businesses.
Event coordinator Heather Barnado said this Saturday's event is part of a church outreach project to promote a sense of community and encourage the community to become involved in church life.
"We began an outreach program in the community last year with a clothes giveaway and hot dog lunch," Barnado said. "The block party is another step in our outreach project. We are a small community church that just wants to share the love of God with others."
Wiseman said everyone is invited to come and have fun, meet new friends or get reacquainted with old friends.
"We're hoping and praying that having a party for the neighborhood will show them we do indeed care about them — and that they will see God loves them through us," he said.

Mercy Care for the Adirondacks, a renewed mission of the Sisters of Mercy established in 2007, announces that Jeremiah M. Hayes, a recently-retired attorney from Tupper Lake, has been elected to serve as its Board President. Jerry Hayes replaces Paul J. Reiss, Ph.D., whose board term expired in June. Mercy Care is governed by a local Board of Directors composed primarily of residents of Tri-Lakes communities.
Jerry has chaired Mercy Care's Fund Development Committee. He served previously as Chairman of the Board of Adirondack Medical Center. He currently serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of Adirondack Foundation. He served previously as a member of the Board of Directors of Tupper Lake National Bank. In addition to Jerry's stellar qualifications as a community leader, he has a strong personal commitment to supporting ministries sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy. He served previously as a member of the Board of Mercy Healthcare Center and Uihlein Mercy Center. He was honored in the past by the Sisters of Mercy with the Distinguished Service Catherine McAuley Award in 2001.
Jerry remarked, "Paul Reiss was Mercy Care's founding President. His leadership resulted in rapid and strategic advancement of Mercy Care's mission to enhance the fullness of life of elders in every dimension living in their community." Mercy Care's 100+ Friendship Volunteers and 12 Volunteer Parish Nurses are assisting 104 of their elder neighbors with friendship and companionship, health education and referral, and other assistance that they may need.
Paul Reiss said, "I cannot think of another person so well qualified and so well connected to his community than Jerry to lead Mercy Care forward. Jerry's leadership will make it possible to advance Mercy Care's new social model of extending mercy to elders living in their communities to relieve their isolation and loneliness and to serve as a catalyst and facilitator of systemic change to empower older adults to age in place more successfully.
Mercy Care for the Adirondacks is located at 185 Old Military Road, Lake Placid, NY 12946. For more information, please visit Mercy Care's web site at http://www.adkmercy.org
