Locating the arch????
I'm laying out the floor on my oven - and am marking where I think the arch / opening should be located. I've seen pics of folks that have the arch too far our - and the dome has to "reach" out to the arch.
Is there a rule of thumb for locating the opening / arch? If I'm building a 42" oven with a 20" opening - do I just locate the opening where the 20" intersects the 42" diameter oven wall?
Here's a plan I found where the 20" opening is still set back a bit into the oven:
Here, in Dino's oven - the 20" opening seems to be set outside of the 42" oven diameter:
is there a preferred location? Has anyone seen any pitfalls associated with locating it in a particular place?
Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Re: Locating the arch????
You are right. If the entry is fairly deep you have way more trouble in working the oven. I believe that if you have decent funneling to the flue pipe then you can make the entry not very deep at all. In my case I made the entry only 5" deep, but my oven is only 21" diam with a 5" flue pipe.I also made the oven mouth quite wide to make it easier to work The disadvantage is probably that more heat is lost through the door. I also placed the entry actually inside the oven diameter too. Works ok. every design change is a compromise. It's like boat design.

Im sure its all about dome to arch height that determines where the arch goes? But I could be wrong. :confused:
I did a rough drawing about it for another thread, Ill see if I can find it.
The other thread is here. http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f8/teardrop-15579.html
Re: Locating the arch????
By sketching out the dome profile you will more clearly be able to see where the arch top meets the dome and perhaps place the arch there, although this approach may not give you the exact opening width you want to end up with, but close.
Re: Locating the arch????
If you are going by the plans, than you want to draw it all out to see how your dome will intersect with the arch.
You should read the Teardrop thread, This is what I didn't know. Or check out my build Round shape to see how I am working with my arch being too far out (I was using the plans as my guidelines for the size of the opening).
Re: Locating the arch????
1 Attachment(s)
one would think, though, that there would be a good, approximate location for the arch. Given the relatively standard oven opening (for the 42" Pompeii) - the intersecting point should be pretty standard. At least it would get you in the ball park.
okay - I haven't messed with SketchUp in a while - I just downloaded it and threw this together. Does this look right? 42" radius dome, 20" dome height, 12" arch height. The inside edge of the arch should be 4 1/2" inside of the inside wall of the oven. That would make the top of the arch meet the inside edge of the dome where they intersect.
Is it more difficult than that?
Re: Locating the arch????
Underside of arch to intersect the underside of the dome no matter the size of oven or arch.
If you mess with 1 dimension you have to mess with the other.
I cant see opening width being a factor, height yes.
Re: Locating the arch????
The wider the arch the greater the heat loss, but the access to the oven is improved.
Re: Locating the arch????
For what it's worth, my dome is 39.5"W at the bottom, dome Height 19.5", opening width 19" and opening height 12". As you may be able to see from the attached, I used a dome template made of plywood. It allowed me to radiate from the center point of the floor to see how the dome would progress from any angle. I just set the inner arch where I wanted it to intersect with the dome, if that makes sense.

Further, the frontal profile of the hemispherical-entryway suggests that it may create an easier task to merge the dome to the inner-arch. Granted, per the FB plans, the vertical-sided inner arch is less daunting in its initial construction requirements, but IMHO, I believe the hemi-arch solves many transition problems (including arch location) and results in a stronger, symmetrical arch that requires no buttressing.

Brian Matusz is as smooth as Mozart in Orioles 'pen
Like appreciative kids wearing mouse ears at Disneyland, Matusz is in the right place.
For now.
"Down the road I see him starting,'' Palmer said. "I still think as good as he has been, he can be even better.''
Matusz is content, making the transition few predicted when he was the West Coast Conference's pitcher of the year.
"It's definitely a challenge finding your routine as a reliever,'' he said. "But once you get out on the mound it's still about making quality pitches. It's the same game, regardless if you're in a relief role or a starting role.''
Matusz is on a roll, so why rock the boat? He's fished the starting seas and has a choppy 23-33 record and 5.51 ERA on his stringer.
"Still, he probably will be a starter again,'' Showater said. "But his one constant has been his ability to pitch against left-handers.''
While left out of the rotation, this Bird isn't squawking.
"I'm in the bullpen, that is my role and I'm going to do everything I can out there,'' Matusz said. "But I won't be turning down starting again.''
Especially after starting over.

text: Gadgets This iPhone case uses electromagnetic radiation to power its LED notification lights Image Credit: Devindra Hardawar/VentureBeat January 8, 2014 3:26 PM Devindra Hardawar 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. LAS VEGAS — You've probably seen plenty of articles warning you about the dangers of cellphone radiation — but what if you could use that energy to power something useful? The Lune case, developed by gadget startup Concepter, does just that. With no battery or power connection to your iPhone, the case can light up when you receive a call. Concepter was showing off the case at Eureka Park, the early-stage startup section of the International CES. Check it out in action below: Under the hood, the Lune sports a capacitor to harness the electromagnetic energy that your phone emits when it's being called, as well as a controller for its LED lights. While it feels a bit like a gimmick, there's plenty of potential for Lune's notification to actually be useful — and if it truly doesn't use up your phone's battery life, all the better. Researchers have been exploring the concept of harvesting electromagnetic energy for years now, but the technology hasn't yet made its way to consumers. Most recently, German student Dennis Siegel showed off a method for recharging a AA battery using electromagnetic fields. Above: Concepter revealed a plain iPhone 5S under the Lune case, though we weren't able to see inside the case itself.Image Credit: Devindra Hardawar/VentureBeat I was able to see a Concepter employee remove the case, which revealed a normal iPhone 5 with no extra battery pack. I wasn't able to see the inside of the case, though, as Concepter claimed it was just a messy prototype. (So there's a chance Concepter still snuck in a battery.) Concepter founder Vlad Tislenko tells me the company plans to launch a Kickstarter for the Lune Case in February. Conceptr also developed the iblazr, a $49 LED flash accessory that plugs into your phone's headphone jack. This also started out as a Kickstarter project. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Extraordinary work as Jonathan Frantini photographs Shanghai acrobats
The strength of acrobats allows them to contort through space, seeming to defy gravity and a comprehensible level of grace that all other humanoids can only dream of. A performance is only as good as the years of practice put in and a single movement might be practiced a thousand times to resemble a contradictory act of effortlessness.
Looking at the practice and environment this training takes place in, Jonathan Frantini photographed a story called Shanghai Acrobats for Another magazine. These images are so calm and have so much information in them that they appear as if in slow motion with the time spent looking animating each part of the image. These photos play informal witness to the little-seen space and fitness and flexibility exercises of these artists, as well as offering candid portraits of the performers. His perspective often mirrors the unusual reality of their acts; moving between that of the acrobat and that of the audience, all with a quietly composed choreography.

Grand Sheik of Al-Azhar Sheik Ahmed el-Tayyib looks on during his first day on duty at his office in Cairo, Egypt. (AP Photo/Amr Sharaf)
CAIRO: Egypt's top Muslim cleric on Saturday called for an international ban on all forms of attacks against Islam, after a provocative film sparked violent protests in the Middle East and North Africa.
Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayyeb, grand imam of Cairo's Al-Azhar, the highest seat of Sunni Muslim learning, underlined "the need for an international resolution (banning) any attack on Muslim religious symbols," in a statement addressed to UN leader Ban Ki-moon and published by official news agency MENA.
The resolution should "criminalise attacks on Islamic symbols and on those of other religions, after the violence against those who provoked challenges to world peace and international security," said Tayyeb.
A low-budget film produced in the United States, "Innocence of Muslims," incited a wave of bloody anti-American violence in Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Yemen and in several other countries.
The imam said it was the UN's responsibility to "protect world peace from any threat or aggression," so that "these dangerous events cannot recur."
He also called on "Egyptians in these trying times (to show) wisdom and restraint," condemning the targeting of innocent people and underlining the need to protect foreign diplomatic missions.
Tens of thousands of people across the Islamic world on Friday staged anti-American protests against the film, which portrays Muslims as immoral and gratuitously violent.

The Government is planning to verify assets of every civil servant and those found to have amassed wealth illegally, risk losing their property, ethics minister Simon Lokodo has said.
"All civil servants are going to be subjected to verification of their property. If found that you earned it illegally, it will be confiscated by the Government," Lokodo said.
The minister was responding to a comment from Rwampara MP, Vincent Kyamadidi, that the Government was not committed to the fight against corruption.
"President Yoweri Museveni in 2004 declared zero tolerance to corruption, but his Government is not walking the talk," Kyamadidi said.
Kyamadidi commended Lokodo for not being involved in any scandal, but advised him to tell his fellow ministers to step aside once their names are mentioned in any corruption scandal.
Lokodo said the directorate of ethics and integrity will come up with a law on asset recovery to punish those who have ill-gotten wealth.
"We are going to apply draconian laws and recover the assets," he said.
The minister was launching an artistic impression to create awareness among the community in the fight against corruption at Kayabwe in Mpigi district last week. The mural was designed by the Uganda Debt Network.
Lokodo also said accounting officers will now be recruited on a contract basis.
The executive director of Uganda Debt Network, Patrick Tumwebaze, urged the Government to strengthen laws against corruption because at the moment, a 10-year imprisonment for a person who embezzles money is too lenient.
The resident district commissioner of Mpigi, Fred Bamwine, observed that unless new laws to fight graft are introduced, it would be hard to stamp out the vice.

Press for KAYAK
Time Magazine just released their list of the 50 Best iPhone Apps of 2011. While we're only a month into 2011, a good portion of these could be considered must-have's. Four Boston companies were lucky enough to make the list. With the Verizon iPhone available for pre-order tomorrow, make sure to download these Boston-based companies' apps and fill up your new phone with the rest.
Kayak, the popular meta-search website, has created an app that makes it easy to search for hotels, flights and car rentals even while you're away from your desk. Budding road warriors will appreciate the airport information section, price alerts and fee table, while bean counters will appreciate that the app comes in a free, regular version.

Strategic Patenting 4: A Case Study of Success
The Takeaway: In the 4th post in this Strategic Patenting Series, a case study is presented of a company that created durable market-making patent protection for a successful consumer product innovation using a disciplined patenting strategy. The strategic patenting efforts of Procter & Gamble undertook with its market-leading Swiffer Wet Jet® floor cleaning system allowed the company to create strong protection of the function of the basic product. This, in turn, resulted in protection of the underlying consumer benefits provided by this innovative floor cleaning system, a fact that allowed the company to prevent functional aspects of its system from being included in knock-off products. Moveover, P&G leveraged its ongoing consumer insights to continue to grow its patent portfolio. In short, the company's successful strategic patenting efforts have "made it cheaper to go through them than around them," thus contributing to its market leadership for this innovation for the past 15 years. The Long Story: In a previous blog post in this multi-part Strategic Patenting Series, I explained how the vast majority of innovators fail to maximize the full scope of the value proposition of their innovations in the marketplace. In short, the missing piece in most patenting efforts is Continue Reading →

FORT WALTON BEACH - A 33-year-old Destin man was arrested for DUI after an Okaloosa County Sheriff's deputy spotted a car driving on two flats and and trailing a shower of sparks.
At a little after 11 p.m. on Dec. 2, the deputy spotted the car on U.S. Highway 98 just east of Site A-3 on Okaloosa Island. It was shooting sparks from both rims on the passenger side. The deputy stopped the car and spoke to the driver, Billy Leon Thorn of Destin.
Thorn said he hit a curb just east of the intersection of U.S. 98 and Stahlman Avenue, which blew out his tires.
The deputy noted Thorn had red, glassy eyes, slurred speech, and an odor of alcohol. He had Thorn perform field sobriety tests and arrested him for driving under the influence.
The deputy said when Thorn learned he was being arrested, he tensed up. The deputy told him not to do that, but he pulled his arms away and tried to flee. Deputies tried to Taser him but missed, and he was taken to the ground and handcuffed.
Later, they learned his license had been suspended.
Thorn was charged with DUI and driving with a suspended license, third or subsequent offense.
His court date is Jan. 29, 2013.

Less resistant rocks froms bays.
Beaches form when waves tides, or currents bring and deposits materials onto the shore..
When longshore cirrents encounter a bay or a bend in the coast with shallow sheltered water, the materials will be deposited along the direction of the long shore drift.This is known as a spit..
A tombolo is an extention of the coastline made up of mainly sand and other materials tha join an offshore island to main land.
As waves break against the sea wall, the wave is redirected backwards resuslting in a strong backwash which would wear away the base of the seawall causing it to weaken and eventually collasp[e.
Ineffectiveness. Effectiveness. Breakwaters are unable to provide complete protection as the leave areas of the coast unprotected, which are more prone to erosion.. breakwaters are granite walls built parallelto the coast. It creates a zone of shallow water between itself and the coast, such that the waves will break before reaching the coast..
Effectiveness. Ineffectives. A groyne is a low wall built at right angles to prevent materials from being transported away by the longshore drift .Transported materials accumulate on the side of the groynefaceing the longshore drift.. The materials deposits by the longshore drift would not be replenished at the other side of the groyne. Hence the beach further down the coast may be eroded away..
Gabions are rocks stored in wire chages to form a wall to protect the coast from erosion and other coastal protection such as seawalls. Ineffectivesness. Gabions are temporial features as they last ony to about 15 years whereas seawalls, breakwaters and groynes lasts for about 30 years. Gabions are much cheaper compared to other coastal protection measures such as seawalls, breakwaters and groynes.. Gabions can be easily destroyed by powerfull waves during storms and the wire rusts easily..
Soft Engineering is involves applying the knowledge of natural process to stabilise the coast and reduce erosion. Stabilising coastal dunes. Planting Mangroves along the shores. Beach nurishment. Encouraging growth of coral reefs. Effectivenesss. Ineffectivenesss. Effectivenesss. Ineffectivenesss. Effectivenesss. Ineffectivenesss. Effectivenesss. Inffectivenesss. Planing vegetation such as marram grass along coasts, roots of vegetation trap and bind the sand together, preventing sand from being blown inland. Human activities sucha as property development ad recreational activities have to be minimised along these coasts. Planting mangroves helps to protect coasts from erosion as many moagrove trees have prop roots or kneed roots that anchor the tress frimly in the soil. As young mangrove trees are fragile, mangrove planting requires cooperation of the local people living in the area.. Adding large amounts of sand to a beach that have been eroded from a beach to replenish sand eroded by the longshore drift.. Lasts only for about 10 years. Cost is high for beach quality sand. Reduces coastal erosion by reducing speeds of waves as they approach the shores.. It requires constant effort from various groups of people. Corals can only grow well in clear waters.
Erosion. Transport. Deposition. Currents as agents of erosion. Waves as an agent of erosion. Waves and currents as agents of transportation. Waves as an agent of deposition. During high tides, water extends up the coast.. During low tides, the water retreats down the coast. large waves cause coastal erosion. A wave is a rising and falling movement of the water surface.It is usually produced by winds blowing across the sea or ocean. Waves approaches the coast at an angle, the swash carries sediments up onto the coast at that angle. The backswash then carries the sediments back into the sea. Longshore Drift. Low-energy waves have a swash that is stronger than the backwash. this occurs on a gently slopping beach. When the backwash returns to the sea, some sediments are left on the coast. Low-energy waves are also called constructive waves.. High-energy waves have a backwash stronger than the swas.Causing more materials to be removed from the beach instead of being deposited..

Friday 2 March 2012 Dear Parents, As you may be aware, the school is holding a Creative Arts Week from the 16 th – 20th April. The week will involve numerous activities and projects from across the Creative Arts departments in both Primary and Secondary, culminating, we hope, in a performance of "Recycle Recital" on Friday 20 th. In order for to us to create and perform this extraordinary work we ask for your help in providing the essential instruments for our recital. We need your old pots and pans, tins of any description, providing they are safe with no sharp edges, water bottles, the larger the better, and any lid or otherwise unusable junk that can be turned into a percussion instrument. The idea is that every child in the Primary School will have a percussion instrument of some sort, all of which will be able to be recycled following our performance. With regards to the empty water bottles, particularly the 19 litre type that we specifically require, we realise that these have value and we can return these to you at the completion of the weeks events if required. Please complete the tear off strip at the bottom of the letter and return this to school as soon as possible so that we can get an immediate idea of how much equipment we can source. More information will follow shortly regarding additional events that will take place during the week and I sincerely hope that you will be able to join us for the final performance and for other activities that will occur throughout the week. Thank you so much for your ongoing support. Yours faithfully Peter Lawson Primary Music Teacher Please tick next to any of the potential percussion items that you may be able to provide for our "Recycle Recital" and indicate how many you may be able to provide.

Senate passes immigration billThe Senate has passed historic immigration legislation offering the hope of American citizenship to millions, while promising a military-style surge to secure the border.
By: Agweek Staff Report, Agweek
WASHINGTON — The Senate has passed historic immigration legislation offering the hope of American citizenship to millions, while promising a military-style surge to secure the border.
The vote was 68-32, eight more than needed to send the measure to the House. Prospects there are not nearly as good and many conservatives are opposed.
Vice President Joe Biden presided, and senators cast their votes from their desks, both steps reserved for momentous votes.
The bill, a priority for President Barack Obama, would amount to the most sweeping changes in decades to the nation's immigration laws.
The immigration reform measure strengthens the border security apparatus to discourage the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. From the standpoint of farm employers, it creates an entirely new visa category for their workers, both current employees, and prospective new employers. This new visa system will be administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, making it easier for farmers and ranchers to access and use. It will also assure a future flow of new workers, so that as the economy evolves and jobs shift between sectors, farmers will have the means to recruit and hire new dairy workers.
"We've known for years that the status quo employment situation in dairy farming is not sustainable. Today, the Senate moved decisively past that admission, and voted to change our labor and immigration laws for the better," says Jerry Kozak, president and CEO of the National Milk Producers Foundation. "Rather than tinker with what wasn't working, this new immigration measure builds something new and much better.
"Dairy farmers have been concerned that their current workers might be overlooked by the reform efforts, but the Senate bill addresses that concern, by allowing currently employed, but undocumented, workers to maintain their jobs. This is a huge benefit, both to workers, and their employers."
Kozak notes that regardless of the region of the country, many dairy farmers "face ongoing challenges finding a sufficient number of workers to care for and milk their cows. Securing a reliable and competent workforce for our nation's farms and ranches is essential to ensuring that American consumers continue to enjoy dairy products on their grocery store shelves."
Kozak stresses that even with today's history Senate vote, much more work on immigration reform has to be done this year on Capitol Hill. Negotiations are continuing in the House of Representatives, which is working on a separate bill, and where broad support for a comprehensive immigration reform measure is less certain.
"The key is to demonstrate to a majority of the House that action is needed," Kozak says. "The bill the House will consider is going to be different than this Senate bill, but the critical thing is that a bill addressing the needs of agriculture must be passed by the House. Inaction is not an option."
"This legislation makes a serious investment in securing our borders," says Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D. "Through an increase in border agents and other measures, there are significant steps in place to reduce the number of people entering our country illegally. Ensuring that we are on a track to finally secure our borders was a top priority of mine.
"I am also incredibly proud that this bill permanently authorizes and enhances the Conrad 30 program. This allows international doctors to remain in the U.S. longer than their visas initially allowed under the condition that they practice in underserved areas such as rural communities. With such a demand in our state, it is common sense to make it easier for talented professionals to come here and practice."

As I suspected, darlings…. even Miley Cyrus' own father Billy Ray is doubting that she's actually going to tie the knot with Liam Hemsworth. In a new interview with Nightline, daddy Cyrus opened up about his daughter's relationship saying, "They're young. They're kids. The great news is, they're great friends. They're really, really good friends." Then, when asked if they are going to get married, he replied, "I don't know. I play it by ear."
It seems like only yesterday the two got engaged and I was predicting her early start to amassing ex-husbands, but alas, I'd rather see them go their separate ways pre-wedding than have another Kim/Kris fiasco. Oh, who am I kidding? That would be just as fun!

So the Red Sox overcame their curse. Or (as one banner-waver in the stands suggests), Ruth has forgiven them. Either way, cool, baseball-historically speaking. Although I wonder how long it will take Bostonians to adapt their mentality to being metaphysically victimized fans no longer.
The lunar eclipse was pretty, incidentally, but we can discuss eclipses in some other post, so as to avoid further encouraging the tired astronomy/astrology yuk-yuks.
I've got a couple of real posts drafted and almost ready to go, but since the Series ended around 6 am local time, I'm probably not going to finish any of them today. I'll be in Tel Aviv for some or all of the weekend, so hopefully we'll have more photos next week, but maybe not much posting before then. So in the meanwhile, go admire John's photos of astronomers carving pumpkins. My department at its finest. And slimiest. Too bad we don't

Stark News Details
Russian Pianist Halida Dinova Performs March 2Posted Feb. 20, 2012
Kent State University at Stark's Music Department proudly presents a recital by Russian pianist Halida Dinova on Friday, March 2 at 7:30 p.m. in Main Hall Auditorium, 6000 Frank Avenue NW in Jackson Township. This event is free and open to the public. No tickets are required.
At Kent State Stark, Dinova's performance will include memorable compositions by Bach, Brahms, Debussy, Chopin and Liszt. Dinova has performed and recorded with Europe's finest orchestras. A champion of rare and interesting 20th century repertoire from her native Russia and America, she is known for her virtuosity and exquisite interpretations.
Her new CD, Music That Tells Stories, gained outstanding reviews in New Zealand and the USA in 2011. Dinova released her first solo album, Masterpieces for Children by Bach, Debussy, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, in 2005. Her recording of Brahms's Second Piano Concerto with the St. Petersburg Academic Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra was released in 2004. Two years earlier, she premiered the concerto Shadow of the Swan with Russia's State Capella Symphony Orchestra. The concerto was inspired by the memory of those who lost their lives in the Challenger Space Shuttle and Kursk submarine disasters and was later adapted into an award-winning documentary. Dinova will soon launch a series of solo recitals, entitled Sic resplendit Gloria Mundi, which focus on reviving rare gems of piano literature from different periods of musical history.
Born in Kazan, Russia, Dinova studied at the Kazan Conservatory and after finishing her degree, she was one a few pianists chosen to participate in the Russian doctor of musical arts program. Upon completion of the program, she taught at the Kazan State Conservatory four years before entering the Geza Anda competition, which earned her a concert tour and scholarship from the European Mozart Foundation. Soon after relocating to the United States, she earned an artist diploma from the Cleveland Institute of Music.
A prizewinner of several international competitions, Dinova has performed in North America, Russia, Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Bulgaria, Germany, France, Italy, Turkey and Argentina. She has also appeared in numerous international festivals.

Researchers are inviting local residents to provide input on whether the Thad Cochran Research, Technology and Economic Development Park needs a pedestrian path.
The come-and-go meeting will take place in the parkтАЩs Multi-Tenant Building in the upper-level conference room.
Since the mile loop was built, people have driven there to exercise, said Dr. Ron Cossman, who wrote question-and-answer survey to gauge support of the idea from residents and tenants and employees of the park.
One of them asked how likely would they walk to a coffee and sandwich shop it if were built in the research park.
тАЬThatтАЩs a big consideration,тАЭ Cossman said. тАЬWe just want to collect some information on whether or not they are ready for something like this. Then, the question will be, can we afford it.тАЭ
Restriping of the four-lane road to give pedestrians and cyclists a lane would cost between $15,000 to $25,000.
The City of Starkville owns the road and, as of now, would have to pay for the project, while the Oktibbeha County Economic Development Authority operates the rest of the park in a partnership with the City of Starkville, Oktibbeha County and Mississippi State University.

Violence in Osmania University as right wing students groups attack Beef Festival of Dalit students (India Today)
"Violence erupted in the historic Osmania University in Hyderabad on Sunday evening, when student groups representing right-wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad clashed with the Dalit and minority student groups in protest against the celebration of the first-ever 'Beef Festival' in the campus.
"The Dalit students were celebrating the 'Beef Festival' (Pedda Koora Panduga in Telugu) - cooking and serving of beef in the open - on the OU campus as an expression of their cultural identity and constitutional right.
"The students have been opposing the imposition of what they call Brahminical culture on the food habits of SCs, STs and minorities in the educational institutions.
"However, the event was strongly resisted by the ABVP students stating that it was against the Indian culture and would hurt the sentiments of the Hindus who treat cow as a holy animal.
"The rightwing student groups distributed pamphlets in the last two days asking the students to stay away from the beef festival. They described the festival as a mischief being perpetrated by a few individuals who claim themselves to be Dalit intellectuals and scholars having a political agenda.
"Trouble began at around 6.30 pm, when more than 1,000 students assembled at the Ambedkar Hostel, where the Dalit Students Federation made elaborate arrangements for the festival. [...]
"As the Dalit students were raising slogans, singing songs and eating biryani made of beef, several ABVP students swooped on the venue and ransacked the area. This resulted in the two groups of students attacking each other and pelting stones. Several students and media persons covering the event received injuries.
"As the students continued with stone pelting, the police had to lob teargas shells to disperse the students. The irate mobs also set afire a vehicle belonging to a television channel. [...]
"Beef festival organizer B Sudarshan, a research scholar, said it was unfortunate that some upper caste students tried to disrupt the festival which was going on peacefully. 'We have not made any slaughter of animals in the hostel premises but only distributed food among the students to acknowledge the age-old custom of Dalits and minorities. We wanted to remove the dirty image associated with beef, as spread by the Brahminical culture,' he said."

Hyderabad: VHP, Bajrang Dal men purify Osmania University campus (Express News Service, April 28, 2012):
"Just when the dust seemed to have settled at the Osmania University following the controversial beef festival, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bajrang Dal on Thursday conducted a ritual at a temple adjacent the Arts College to 'purify' the campus."
And see further:
Is it India's Rosa Parks moment? by Ajaz Ashraf (Daily Times (Lahore), April 27, 2012):
"For nearly a century and a half, the cow wasn't just a cow but an incendiary political issue, which periodically ignited many a communal conflagration all around India. Underlying the acrimony was the demand asking Muslims to eschew beef-eating in respect for the religious sentiments of Hindus, who considered the cow holy. It tacitly assumed a monolithic Hindu community united in its veneration of the cow and the need to save her from the Muslim butcher's cleaver.
"This assumption stands challenged in Hyderabad, not by Muslims, but by assertive lower-caste Hindus who were contemptuously treated and referred to as Untouchables and who now have adopted the nomenclature of Dalit (oppressed) for defining their identity. On April 15, Dalit students organised a beef festival at Hyderabad's Osmania University, where 2,000 of them publicly partook of the savoury beef biryani even as a singer belted the song: 'Beef is the secret of my energy.'
"This demonstration of defiance was in support of their demand to have beef included on the hostel's menu. Their logic was — beef is taboo for high caste Hindus, not the Dalits, sections of other backward castes, Muslims and Christians, whose diet includes beef. In excluding it from the menu, the university, they said, is guilty of showing an unjustifiable predilection for the religious sensitivity of high-caste Hindus. At one stroke was thus shattered the myth of the Hindu community being a monolith."

Most of the time (in the case of software naming conventions), those
acronyms aren't true acronyms, but are a bastardization of the process
("borrowing" letters which are not initials). But there's not much to
do about that.
Your specific example, though, is a clear reason to use apostrophes,
at least in those situations. Unless there's another way to
typographically disambiguate them.

That's too bad. They could have called him "Mess" for short!
She still can, Amy. That story's a month old, another judge has already overturned it.

Transmission To Transition
Posted 15 October 2009 - 06:39 PM
This is a really good video that addresses concerns of today's veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan where returning to civilian roadways and driving (e.g. miscommunication and misunderstanding by law enforcement when approaching and handling veterans they pull over), attending schools (e.g. discrimination and ostricizing - like the Penn State Video), and getting back into the employment sector (e.g. discrimination).
Please watch and give feedback (which can be relayed to the producer, if you wish).

I was drafted in 1968 and went to College in Texas which still pretty much supported the War.
Did you go to college before or after you were drafted, Pete? As you know, the Summer of 1968 was a pivotal point of the anti war movement on campus. I was off active duty, and entered college during the Summer of 68'. When I visited the student union, I was a treated like I had the plague.

Claims that Vietnam vets exaggerated the mistreatment they received when they returned to the States, was in the news recently. We discussed it on Hadit. Something about returning Vietnam vets being spit on, was just a myth...
here is a link to the Vietnam anti war movement in the U.S....
Again, it has been said "If we don't learn from the past then we are doomed to repeat it."

Thanks for the videos and the flashback @16.35 min. of the "Transmission on Transition" video, when the young vet was walking through the halls of his college. The absents of anti war protesters was notable. I flashed back to1968, when I got home and returned to school, and being treated with destain from the staff and fellow students. We were hated by many of our peers back then. Others thought that we were fools for going to Vietnam. PTSD was not recognized yet, and combat related stress disorders were considered manifestations of poor self discipline and/ or cowardice by the medical community & civilians. I'm glad that the new returning vets do not have to experience that kind of rejection. It's tough enough to readjust, now a days, without that additional insult and condemnation for military service.
Flashbacks were not my intention, and I doubt it was the producers either.
The video was meant for information to make others aware of what today's veterans are going through.
It's too bad someone didn't care enough to do the same for the Vietnam era veterans.

I am sure that flashbacks were not your intentions, nor the producers'. I found it notable, and meant it in jest, to point out the indifference experienced by the vets of yesterday and today, when they returned to school..

The most radical part of the project involved the team's strategy for improving the car's cornering. Inspired by Jim Hall's Chaparral 2J "sucker" car from the '70s, it developed a plan to generate speed-independent downforce. Doing so would increase tire-to-road frictional force, theoretically giving the car the ability to pull higher g levels in turns. As far as the engineers knew, this concept had never been executed on a production car, and the challenge was intriguing to them.
After extensive calculations and testing with a prototype sled, the team identified the amount of airflow and vacuum required to suck the car to the ground with 1,500 pounds of force (the amount necessary to boost the Corvette's skidpad rating from 0.9 to 1.4g). To stay within budget, it sourced a surplus intake blower from an Army M1A Abrams tank to generate vacuum, powering it with a 33hp snowmobile engine.
To maintain suction during upward suspension travel, a unique, two-piece skirt frame connected by bellows was developed and installed under the car. Casters attached to the lower frame would maintain a half-inch gap between the skirt and the ground as it raced around the course. Custom front A-arm bushings and adjustable tie-rod linkages were also fabricated and installed.
Once mechanical work was completed, the engineers ganged up on the body and interior. With the help of two-part epoxy, rivets, screening, filler, and a lot of sandpaper, the team was able to force the fiberglass back into shape. The team liked the "rat rod" look of the flat-black primer so much, it decided to carry the look over to the car's final paint scheme.
Next, a rollcage was constructed from scrap pipe and color-matched to the silver turbo piping that stuck out of the hood. A half-inch Lexan barrier shield was also installed between the driver and the sucker system. A full race harness was then added, and a fire extinguisher was mounted within reach of the driver. A main battery-kill switch was wired on the back of the Corvette, and a separate sucker-system kill switch was made for the blower engine and fuel pump.
At the event, the engineers-now going by the moniker "Team Cheaparral"-swept all four categories (Autocross, Concours Judging, Best Engineered, and Top-Finishing Team) and were declared the $2,007 Challenge Overall Champion. (The drag-race portion of the contest was cancelled due to bad weather.) "At the awards banquet, we went up so many times to accept that it was almost embarrassing," says Lockar. "You'll notice I said almost."
Its first set of objectives accomplished, Team Cheaparral hope to use the "Sucker Vette" as a way of getting young people interested in engineering careers. Later on, it plans to sell the car and donate the proceeds to the Cincinnati United Way.
Follow along as we show you how Team Cheaparral earned the title of Overall Champion at the Kumho Tires/Grassroots Motorsports $2,007 Challenge.

Product Details
The ADP5090 is an integrated boost regulator that converts dc power from PV cells or TEGs. The device charges storage elements such as rechargeable Li-Ion batteries, thin film batteries, super capacitors, and conventional capacitors, and powers up small electronic devices and battery-free systems.
The ADP5090 provides efficient conversion of the harvested limited power from a 16 µW to 200 mW range with sub-µW operation losses. With the internal cold-start circuit, the regulator can start operating at an input voltage as low as 380 mV. After cold startup, the regulator is functional at an input voltage range of 80 mV to 3.3 V.
By sensing the input voltage at the VIN pin, the control loop keeps the input voltage ripple in a fixed range to maintain stable dc-to-dc boost conversion. The VIN OCV sensing and programmable regulation points of the input voltage allow extraction of the highest possible energy from the PV cell or TEG harvester. A programmable minimum operation threshold (MINOP) enables boost shutdown during a low light condition. In addition, the DIS_SW pin can temporarily shut down the boost regulator and is RF transmission friendly.
The charging control function of ADP5090 protects rechargeable energy storage, which is achieved by monitoring the battery voltage with programmable charging termination voltage and shutdown discharging voltage. In addition, a programmable PGOOD flag monitors the SYS voltage.
An optional primary cell battery can be connected and managed by an integrated power path management control block that automatically switches the power source from the energy harvester, rechargeable battery, and primary cell battery.
The ADP5090 is available in a 16-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP package and is rated for a −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
