Bashar ibn Burd
Bashār ibn Burd (714-783) (Arabic: بشار بن برد) nicknamed "al-Mura'ath" meaning the wattled, was a poet in the late Umayyad and the early Abbasid periods. Bashar was of Persian origin;[1] his grandfather was taken as a captive to Iraq, his father was a freedman (Mawla) of the Uqayl tribe. Some Arab scholars considered Bashar the first "modern" poet[2] and one of the pioneers of the badi' in Arabic literature. It is believed that[who?] he exerted a great influence on the subsequent generation of poets.
Bashar was blind from birth and said to have been ugly. He grew up in the rich cultural environment of Basra and showed his poetic talents at an early age. Bashar fell foul of some religious figures, such as Malik ibn Dinar and al-Hasan al-Basri, who condemned his poetry for its licentiousness. He exchanged Hija with several poets. being anti-Mu'tazili, he criticized Wasil ibn Ata, who by some accounts is considered the founder of the Mutazilite school of Islamic thought.
After the Abbasids built Baghdad, Bashar moved there from Basra in 762. Bashar became associated with the caliph al-Mahdi. Due to his libertinism, he was ordered by al-Mahdi not to write any love poetry. This ban was quickly breached and as a result, Bashar was charged with heresy and zendiqism, imprisoned and beaten to his death and his body was thrown into the Tigris river.[2]
Most of his Hija' (satires) is in traditional style, while his fakhr expresses his Shu'ubi sentiments, boasting the achievements of his Persian ancestors and denigrating the "uncivilized Arabs". The following couplet from Bashar demonstrates his admiration for Zoroastrianism (the religion of his Persian ancestors) over Islam by preferring prostration (Sajdah) towards fire (Shaitan like other jinn was created from smokeless fire) in lieu of soil (Adam's origin).[1]
الارض مظلمة و النار مشرقة
والنار معبودة مذكانت النار
Bashar ibn Burd was condemned as a heretic (Blasphemy) and finally executed by the Caliph al-Mahdi in 783.[3]

Danaher Brakes and Clutches.doc Title: Clutches and Brakes Seize the Market for Low-Cost Load Control Author: John Pieri Title: Thomson Deltran Product Line Manager Company: Danaher Motion Location: Wood Dale, IL Web: www.DanaherMotion.com Email: email@example.com Deck: This tutorial covers the basic principles of operation of clutches and brakes and can save you a fortune when selecting a motion control component for a new product. Text: A wide variety of motion control applications require brakes and clutches for holding, stopping, indexing, jogging, or releasing a mechanical load. When the prime mover is an electric motor, it can often perform a dual role, that is, not only accelerate the load, but also bring it to a preprogrammed position and hold it there. Servomotors and step motors are excellent components for doing this job, but they usually cost 10 to 15 times more than comparable mechanical and electromechanical brakes and clutches. Only those applications that require relatively expensive equipment and extremely high duty cycles, such as mail sorters, can justify the cost of these motors. For most other jobs, clutches and brakes are the optimum choice. Clutches and brakes can be used with any type of motor or no motor at all. They come in a variety of sizes, selectively grouped in torque and speed between a range of 3 to 5000 lb-in. and 150 to over 20,000 rpm. Their specifications are spread over four modes of operation: start, index, slip, and hold. The start and slip modes are rated exclusively for clutches, the hold mode for brakes, and the index mode for both clutches and brakes. Clutches and brakes come in many designs but this article will focus on two key technologies, wrap spring and electromagnetic. They have unique specifications that make one type more suitable for a specific application than the other. Electromechanical brakes come in two types, power on, and power off. The power-on type engages the brake when power is applied to the holding coil. Power off, on the other hand, releases the brake when power is applied. In the second case, a spring holds the brake closed or engaged (without power) during normal operation. This type is used more frequently because the brake holds the load in a fixed position in the event of an unanticipated power failure. The power most component manufacturers use to engage or disengage the clutch is typically 12 to 24 Vdc. Other voltages, including ac, however, may be ordered. Clutches and brakes are often selected for one or more dynamic and static characteristics including torque, speed, accuracy and as many as thirteen other specifications. Although these specifications apply to both wrap spring and electromechanical clutches and brakes, about half of these specifications apply more aptly to one type, and the other half to the other type. Wrap Springs Clutches and brakes that use wrap springs tend to excel in performance for six of the characteristics; torque capacity, low power, positive engagement, stopping accuracy, and pneumatic or mechanical actuation. They are also most suitable for single revolution operation, and are on an even par with electromechanical clutches and brakes for rapid cycling capability. On the down side, their one most limiting characteristic is their speed that tops out at about 1750 rpm. Wrap spring clutches and brakes are composed of three basic parts, an input hub, a wrap (coil) spring, and an output hub. These clutches come in overrunning, start-stop (random positioning), and single revolution types. A fourth type is the clutch-brake combination which uses two wrap springs. In the basic form of an overrunning clutch, when the input hub rotates, the spring wraps down to engage the two hubs. (Fig. 1.) When the input stops or reverses, the spring unwraps to release the output hub, and lets the load overrun. These clutches also are used for one-way indexing and backstopping functions. The overrunning clutch may be modified to become a start-stop clutch by adding a control tang to the spring. (Fig. 2.) It lets the clutch engage and then disengage the load when the tang locks into position with the stop collar. After it's disengaged, the load coasts freely from the continuously running input. A single-revolution clutch can be made by securing a second tang to the output hub. (Fig. 3.) When the control tang engages, the output hub cannot overrun because it is secured to the spring. Because most single-revolution clutches can stop only about 10% of their starting load capacity, make certain the selected clutch has sufficient braking torque capacity for the job. Wrap spring clutch/brake combinations use two control tangs to hold open either the clutch or brake spring. (Fig. 4.) When the clutch and brake control tangs rotate with the input hub, the clutch spring positively engages the input hub and the output shaft. When the stop collar locks the brake control tang, the brake spring wraps down to engage the output shaft to the stationary brake hub. Simultaneously, the clutch spring unwraps slightly, and lets the input hub rotate freely. Wrap spring clutches and brakes perform hundreds of simple motion processes that can be controlled through overrunning, start-stop, and single revolution functions. The torque capacity of a spring wrap clutch or brake is a direct function of the diameter of the hub and the tensile strength of the spring. That is, it will not slip, but rather supply the torque demanded up to the mechanical limitations of the spring. When the spring is allowed to wrap down to grip the hubs, the output hub typically accelerates to the input rpm in 0.003 sec., and the output in 0.0015 sec. The dynamic torque of acceleration or deceleration is proportional to the product of rpm and the load inertia, divided by the acceleration time. This implies that spring clutches and brakes are inertia sensitive, that is, the more inertia, the higher the dynamic torque. In addition, the torque demand on the spring clutch equals the system frictional torque of the load plus the dynamic torque of acceleration. When approaching the stop position of the cycle, enough energy must be available in the rotating mass of the load to let the spring release its grip on the input hub. This means that when there is a large frictional load, or a torque demand when the load comes up to the top of a cam, sufficient energy must be available in the rotating mass to open the spring. Without sufficient energy, the input hub could wear excessively and generate noise. Electromagnetic clutches Electromagnetic clutches tend to excel in performance for another six of the 16 possible characteristics; random start/stop, power-on and power-off braking, soft start/stop, bi- directional rotation, and speeds exceeding 1750 rpm. A simple electromagnetic clutch is a device that connects a motor to a load. (Fig. 5.) Generally, the motor shaft is pinned or keyed to the clutch rotor-shaft assembly bore (input) with the load connected to the armature (output) of the clutch with a pulley or a gear. Before the coil energizes, the armature assembly does not couple, so it cannot rotate with the input rotor shaft. When the coil energizes, however, the rotor shaft assembly becomes part of an electromagnet, attracts the armature plate, engages this with the rotor assembly, and drives the load. When the coil de-energizes, the two elements no longer attract and a spring within the armature assembly separates them. The motor shaft and load disconnect so the load cannot be driven. The clutch lets the motor run while the load idles, which decreases cycle times and yields better overall system efficiency. Clutch couplings also connect two parallel shafts with pulleys, gears, or sheaves. (Fig. 6) Although an anti-rotation tab or flange prevents the field (electromagnet) from rotating, the rotor and armature assembly mount on a single shaft with the rotor secured to the shaft. The armature mounts through bearings and rotates freely. When the coil energizes, the armature engages the friction surface of the rotor and drives the load. Electromagnetic clutch couplings provide the same efficient, electrically switchable link between a motor and a load for in-line shafts. Here again, an anti-rotation tab or flange prevents the field assembly from rotating, and the rotor and armature assembly securely mount on opposing in-line shafts. When the coil energizes, the armature engages the friction surface of the rotor, couples the two in-line shafts, and drives the load. Power-on brakes operate under the same principle as the clutch, but with only a single rotating component, the armature assembly. (Fig. 7.) The brake is generally positioned on the load shaft with the armature assembly secured to the shaft and the field assembly is mounted to a non-rotating component or bulkhead. Before the coil energizes, the armature assembly rotates freely. When energized, the field assembly becomes an electromagnet, attracts the armature plate, and stops the load. Power-off, spring-set brakes operate under a slightly different principle (Fig. 8). Compression springs within the field assembly apply the braking force. In the normal power-off mode, the springs apply pressure to the fixed (non-rotating) armature plate, which in turn applies pressure to the rotor. The rotor can float back and forth under the applied pressure, depending on the state of the coil. A spline or hex couples it to the load shaft through a hub. Some rotors are suspended between two diaphragm-like springs to reach the floating state. Power-off, permanent-magnet brakes use the attractive force of a permanent magnet to create the braking action, while the electromagnet negates this force and lets the load rotate (Fig. 9). In normal power-off mode, the permanent magnet in the fixed field assembly creates an attractive force on the armature assembly, which is attached to the load shaft with setscrews or pins to stop or hold the load. When the coil energizes, the electromagnet forms an opposing magnetic force to the permanent magnet and lets the armature assembly rotate freely (no brake). Tooth Brakes and Clutches Clutches and clutch couplings provide an efficient, positive, switchable link between a motor and load on in-line or parallel shafts when used in either static or low-speed engagement applications (Fig. 10). A fixed flange prevents the field assembly from rotating, and the rotor generally attaches to the input shaft. The armature assembly mounts securely to either an in-line load shaft or a parallel shaft with pulleys or gears. When the coil energizes, the teeth in the armature positively engage the teeth in the rotor, which then couples the two in-line or parallel shafts and drives the load. Tooth brakes provide an efficient, positive, switchable means of either holding a load or decelerating a load from a slow speed, generally 20 rpm or less. Using the same principle as the tooth clutch, these brakes can be used to effectively hold a load in position. They come in power-on and power-off types and are ideal for applications requiring very high torque in tight places. Multi-Disc Brakes and Clutches Multiple disc clutches provide a smooth, efficient, switchable link between a motor and load on in-line or parallel shafts (Fig. 11). Like the other components, an anti-rotation tab on the flange prevents the field from rotating, and the rotor securely mounts on the drive shaft. The armature assembly is then mounted either directly on an opposing in-line shaft or indirectly on a parallel shaft with gears or pulleys. When the coil energizes, the armature engages the friction surface of the rotor which further engages the multiple discs within the assembly until full torque is reached, couples the two in-line or parallel shafts, and drives the load. Multiple disc brakes offer the same smooth, efficient operation as a standard braking device. Here, the rotor component is eliminated and the electromagnet engages a static field assembly plus a rotating armature assembly to accomplish braking. These types of brakes provide high torque in a compact package, and are intended primarily for custom applications in the aerospace industries. Boxes Box #1 Title: Selecting a spring wrap clutch/brake Text: Wrap spring clutches and brakes are prepackaged, pre-assembled units that are surprisingly easy to select and install. It takes only three steps: Determine the clutch or brake function, determine the size, and verify the design considerations. The selection process assumes that the diameter of the shaft at the clutch or clutch/brake location has been designed with good machine practice. For most applications, this process determines the proper size product. When the performance requirements of an application are marginally within the capabilities of a product, consider using the next larger size. In cases where the required load/speed performance data are known and unit size is uncertain, contact the manufacturer for a more in-depth technical selection process guide that will help you review all necessary aspects of your application. Step One: Determine the function These units can perform three functions, overrunning, start-stop, and single revolution. Determine the function that provides the best control for the application. Select the series that best fits the application requirements from the manufacturer's selection charts. Step Two: Determine the Size First, determine the maximum clutch or brake speed and the shaft diameter for mounting the wrap spring. A wrap spring clutch engages almost instantly, and because spring wrap increases with load, the unit must be sized properly to ensure that it is correct for the application. If there is any uncertainty regarding the correct unit size, use the technical selection process guide from the manufacturer mentioned above. Select the correct wrap spring unit by locating the appropriate speed and shaft diameter points on a chart that correlates to the model that best suits your application. For applications that require higher speed or larger diameter shafts than those shown, the manufacturer will offer additional assistance. Step Three: Verify the Design Function Considerations After selecting the appropriate series and model size, review the design considerations. A complete checklist of these and other options are detailed in the "How to Order" section of the manufacturer's catalog for each series. Box #2 Title: Selecting Friction Brakes and Clutches Text: It may be necessary to consider clutch or brake inertia and engagement time in calculating load acceleration for some applications. When the inertia or engagement time of the clutch or brake initially selected represents more than 10% of the load inertia or acceleration time, use the inertia-time equation to solve for acceleration time. Use an inertia value equal to the sum of the load inertia and the clutch or brake inertia. Then verify that the sum of the acceleration and clutch or brake engagement time is still within the required acceleration time for the application. Brake Selection Step One: Determine if the application requires a static (holding) or a dynamic (stopping) brake. Step Two: For static brake applications, determine the required static torque to hold the load under worst-case conditions, including system drag. Skip to Step Five. Step Three: For dynamic braking applications with a specific stopping time requirement, first calculate the dynamic torque (TD) necessary to decelerate the load using the inertia- time equation: TD = (0.104(I)/t) -D Where: I =total system inertia, lb-in.-sec2 = shaft speed. rpm t = time to zero, sec D= load drag, lb-in. Multiply by 1.25 to convert to static torque. Go to Step Five. Step Four: For dynamic braking applications that require the ability to only stall a load, calculate the appropriate static torque (Ts) using the horsepower-rpm equation: Ts = (1.25)(63000)(Pk)/ Where: P = horsepower, hp k = service factor = speed, rpm Step Five: Select a brake model from the manufacturers catalog with a static torque rating greater than the required torque. Verify that the selected brake fits into the available application envelope and mounting configuration. Clutch Selection Step One: For applications with a specific acceleration time requirement, first calculate the dynamic torque (TD) required to accelerate the load using the inertia-time equation: TD = 0.104(I)/t + D Where: I =rotational load inertia, lb-in.-sec2 = Differential slip speed, rpm t = time to speed, sec D= load drag torque reflected to the clutch, lb-in. Convert to static torque by multiplying by 1.25 Step Two: For applications requiring only the ability to accelerate a load, calculate the static torque using the horsepower-rpm equation: Ts = (1.25)(63000)(Pk)/ Where: P = horsepower, hp k = service factor = differential slip speed, rpm Step Three: Select a clutch model from the manufacturer's catalog with a static torque rating greater than the required torque. Verify that the selected clutch fits into the available application envelope and mounting configuration. When engaging a clutch dynamically, carefully consider the proper energy dissipation. Calculate the total energy dissipated per minute: E = (Ek + Es)N Where: Ek = kinetic energy, ft-lb/min Es = slip energy, ft-lb/min N = cycle rate, cpm If the total energy dissipation is more than allowable, then consider using a larger series clutch.

See each caption for page location.) Figure #1, Overrunning Clutch Caption: The wrap spring clutch is an overrunning clutch. When the input hub rotates, the spring wraps down to engage the two hubs. When the input stops or reverses, the spring relaxes, and releases the output hub. (Page 6.) Figure #2, Start-Stop Clutch Caption: A control tang lets the clutch engage, then disengage the load when the control tang locks in position. When disengaged, the load coasts freely. (Page 6.) Figure #3, Single Revolution Clutch Caption: This clutch has a second tang secured to the output hub. When the tang engages, the output hub cannot overrun. (Page 6.) Figure #4, Combination Clutch/Brake Caption: A brake/clutch uses two tangs to hold either the clutch or brake spring open. When both tangs rotate with the input hub, the clutch spring engages the hub and the output shaft. When the stop collar locks the brake control tang, the brake spring wraps down and engages the output shaft to the stationary brake hub, and the clutch spring unwraps a little, which lets the input hub rotate freely. (Page 6.) Figure #5, Electromagnetic Clutch Caption: The armature is normally decoupled and free to run until the coil energizes. When the magnetic field is generated, the rotor-shaft assembly attracts the armature plate, engages with the rotor assembly, and drives the load. (Page 10.) Figure #6, Electromagnetic Clutches and Clutch Couplings Caption: Clutches couple two parallel shafts with pulleys, gears, or sheaves. An anti- rotation tab prevents the assembly from rotating until the coil energizes, thus engaging the armature with the friction material and driving the load. (Page 11.) Figure #7, Power-On Electromagnetic Brake Caption: The armature assembly rotates freely until the coil energizes, attracts the armature plate, and brakes the load. (Page 10.) Figure #8, Power-Off Electromagnetic Spring-Set Brake Caption: Compression springs normally apply the braking force. In power-off mode, the springs apply pressure to the armature plate, which, in turn, applies pressure to the rotor. When the coil energizes, the brake spline decouples from the load shaft and the load rotates freely. (Page 10.) Figure #9, Power-Off Electromagnetic Permanent Magnet Brake Caption: The permanent magnet provides the normal braking force. When the electromagnet energizes, its field opposes the permanent magnet's field, which then allows the armature assembly to rotate freely. (Page 10.) Figure #10, Tooth Brakes and Clutches Caption: Tooth clutches link a motor and a load on in-line or parallel shafts. A fixed flange prevents the electromagnet from rotating. When the coil energizes, the teeth on the armature engage with the teeth on the rotor, couple the shafts, and drive the load. (Page 127.) Figure #11, Multi Disc Brakes and Clutches Caption: Disc clutches also link a motor and a load on in-line or parallel shafts. Similarly, a fixed flange prevents the electromagnet from rotating until the coil energizes. When energized, the armature engages the friction surface of the rotor, which in turn, engages the multiple discs until full torque is achieved. Then the two shafts couple and drive the load.

Stretching a thin crystal to get better solar cellsJune 26, 2015 6:59 am | by Tom Abate, Stanford Engineering | News | Comments
Nature loves crystals. Salt, snowflakes and quartz are three examples of crystals—materials characterized by the lattice-like arrangement of their atoms and molecules. Industry loves crystals, too. Electronics are based on a special family of crystals known as semiconductors, most famously silicon. To make semiconductors useful, engineers must tweak their crystalline lattice in subtle ways to start and stop the flow of electrons.
Sprayable foam slows bleedingJune 25, 2015 1:00 pm | by American Chemical Society | News | Comments
Traumatic injuries, whether from serious car accidents, street violence or military combat, can lead to significant blood loss and death. But using a material derived from crustacean shells, scientists have now developed a foam that can be sprayed onto an open wound to stop the bleeding. They report their successful tests on pigs in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering.
Pointing the way to crack-resistant metalsJune 25, 2015 11:20 am | by Joe Kullman, Arizona State Univ. | News | Comments
Potential solutions to big problems continue to arise from research that is revealing how materials behave at the smallest scales. The results of a new study to understand the interactions of various metal alloys at the nanometer and atomic scales are likely to aid advances in methods of preventing the failure of systems critical to public and industrial infrastructure.

Rose Byrne to Make Broadway Debut in 'You Can't Take It With You'
The Australian actress will star opposite James Earl Jones, Kristine Nielsen and Annaleigh Ashford in the fall revival of the classic 1936 comedy by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart.
NEW YORK – Rose Byrne will take a break from her demanding schedule as one of the go-to actresses for screen comedy, switching it up with a stage turn in the Broadway revival of You Can't Take It With You.
The 1936 classic by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart about a family of Manhattan eccentrics will mark Byrne's New York stage debut. She stars opposite previously announced lead James Earl Jones and Kristine Nielsen, a Tony nominee in 2013 for best play winner Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.
Also joining the cast of You Can't Take It With You is Annaleigh Ashford (Masters of Sex, Kinky Boots). She and Byrne will play sisters Essie and Alice Sycamore, the latter unleashing trouble in the comedy when she invites her fiance and his uptight parents to dinner.
Scott Ellis directs the production, which will also feature Mark Linn-Baker, Crystal A. Dickinson, Julie Halston, Marc Damon Johnson, Patrick Kerr and Reg Rogers, with additional casting to be announced.
PHOTOS Hollywood on Broadway 2013-14 Season: Denzel Washington, Daniel Craig and More Stars Onstage
The play begins previews Aug. 26 at the Longacre Theatre, with official opening night set for Sept. 28.
Jason Robert Brown, a double Tony winner this year for his score and orchestrations on The Bridges of Madison County, will compose original music for the production. The deluxe design team includes David Rockwell (sets), Jane Greenwood (costumes) and Donald Holder (lighting).
Lead producers on the revival are Jeffrey Richards and Jerry Frankel, who in addition to Bridges, shepherded this year's Tony winners All the Way, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill and The Glass Menagerie.
Best known for Bridesmaids and her long-running role on Damages, Byrne was recently seen onscreen opposite Seth Rogen and Zac Efron in Neighbors. Next up, she appears in the all-star ensemble of This Is Where I Leave You, which includes Tina Fey, Jason Bateman, Jane Fonda, Adam Driver, Connie Britton, Kathryn Hahn and Timothy Olyphant; and in the remake of Annie, with Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhane Wallis.

Toys R Us said Monday that it plans to launch its own tablet computer aimed at children called Tabeo on Oct. 21, a low-priced entry into the increasingly crowded tablet business.
The news comes ahead of the holiday season, which can account for up to 40 percent of retailers' annual sales. Toys R Us has focused on exclusive toys rather than discounts as it faces tough competition from online retailers like Amazon.com and discounters like Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
The 7-inch touchscreen tablet comes with 50 preinstalled apps selected for children, including games such as Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, and a book app called istorybooks. It will retail for $149.99, is equipped with WiFi and runs on Google Inc.'s Android 4.0 operating system.
Toys R Us sells other electronics including Apple Inc.'s iPad, but this is its first store-brand tablet. The Tabeo's main competitors include LeapFrog Enterprises' LeapPad, one of the biggest hits last holiday season, and VTech's similar InnoTab.
In the privately held retailer's most recent quarter ended July 28, its net loss widened slightly from a year ago, hurt by weakness in Europe and a decline in video game sales.
The introduction hurt shares of LeapFrog, which fell 57 cents, or 6.2 percent, to $8.58 in midday trading Monday The stock had fallen about 48 percent since the beginning of the year.
Children's tablets are increasingly popular. In addition to the LeapPad and the InnoTab, other children's tablets include the Kurio Kids Tablet from TechnoSource and the Meep Kids Tablet from Oregon Scientific, both matching the Tabeo's $149.99 price tag.
Meanwhile, the adult tablet market has been heating up. Last week, Amazon unveiled a $499 4G high definition Kindle, a $299 Wi-Fi HD model and a smaller 7-inch Kindle starting at $199. The most popular tablet remains Apple Inc.'s iPad, which starts at $399.
Needham & Co. analyst Sean McGowan said it is hard to say how a new kid-oriented tablet will fare since the market is so new, although LeapFrog's LeapPad proved popular last holiday.
"Toys R Us' Tabeo appears to offer great value, but the challenge with Tabeo will be keeping the product from occupying an awkward middle ground — not quite cool enough to get people to spend the money, but not cheap enough to be an impulse purchase," McGowan said.

Exclusive Hockey Equipment Retailer of USA Hockey
The Bauer Vapor X80 Grip Composite Stick is the king's court officer, providing excellent features while securing your wallet with a great price. Intelli-Sense Shot Technology allows you to get a well-rounded responsive feel on all shots. The X80 utilizes the Aero Foam 3 blade as well as the Pure Shot blade profile, all of which are main features that can be found in the king Vapor APX 2 hockey stick.
The Intelli-Sense Flex Profile is an advanced, dual-kick-point system that gives players the optimal flex profile based on the type of the shot being taken and the location of their lower hand on the stick. Wrist shots and snap shots activate the low kick point while slap shots and snap shots activate the softened handle at the top of the stick to flex creating a secondary flex zone. This dual kick point allows for players to gain optimal flex on either kick point.
Bauer equipped the X80 with their Aero Foam 3 blade core. This blade turns back the clock and gives players an updated feel. The single-density foam blade core provides you with a strong yet lightweight feel that is backed by the Pure Shot blade profile. Pure Shot is simply an expanded connection point between the blade and shaft, allowing pinpoint accuracy behind your shots without sacrificing durability.

- 1500 Epcot Resorts Blvd, Orlando, FL, 32830
BarCampOrlando 2011
Saturday, April 2, 2011 from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (EDT)
BarCamp Orlando is Saturday April 2nd at Wall Street Plaza starting at 9:30 AM! If you want a T-shirt and a speaking slot I highly recommend you come early (as in before 11 AM). We always seem to run out of both as the day progresses.
Thanks to our friends at CoLab Orlando, they're allowing use of their parking lot! If you print out and placethis flyer on your dash, you'll be able to use their parking lot all day. If that lot is full when you arrive, there are plenty other lots around wall street. You should expect to pay $12-$15 for the full day (FYI).
If you plan to present with slides, please bring the proper VGA adapter for your laptop and do not depend on / expect any wifi. Also please try to ensure your talk does not go too far beyond the 20 minute mark. Each talk slot will be on the hour and half hour, allowing for a little time for questions (5 mins) and for foot traffic (5 mins).
The board will open for talk signups at 9:30 AM and the first talks will start at 10 AM.
We'll have the same venues this year as last, with Singapours (AKA. Envy Labs Room), One Eye'd Jacks (AKA. ad summos room), Gibson Showroom (AKA. Tropo Room), and the Globe will be open for round table discussions (no projector).
Helping Setup
If you want to help setup (which mostly means unload chairs), feel free to come hang out around 9 AM.
Orlando's biggest pillow fight will also be this saturday, at 5 PM downtown. If you want to be a part of the madness bring your pillow. The location of the event will be announced this evening at Midnight, but I've been told it's walking distance from BarCamp.
Here is the Schedule for Saturday (right off the website)
9:30 am Doors open, people can sign up for talks on the big whiteboard.
10:00 am Talks start. There are three rooms for presentations, and each presentation will have 25 minutes and they will be spaced out. We recommend that you limit your talks to about 20 minutes to allow 5 minutes for discussion (and incase you run long).
12:00 pm Lunch is served (free), we take an hour break.
1:00 pm Talks resume.
6:00 pm BarCamp ends and the after-party starts at Baby Grands!
See you guys this Saturday!

Apple rarely shies away from copying good ideas. One of the most recent examples is iOS's notification center, which behaves an awful lot like Android's notifications panel. Now, according to 9to5Mac, Apple may be about to nab another feature from a competitor: split-screen multitasking.
The site quotes "sources with knowledge of the enhancement in development" as saying that iOS will introduce a split-screen multitasking feature. That feature, the site says, will let users "run and interact with two iPad applications at once."
Here's a mockup of what split-screen multitasking might look like in iOS, courtesy of 9to5Mac:
The benefits of using two applications on the same screen are obvious. In a modal interface like iOS or Windows 8's Modern UI mode, a split-screen mode is probably the best way to offer that kind of functionality. I'm not thrilled with the way it's implemented in Windows 8, though. There seem to be too many opportunities to enable it by accident, and it feels a little awkward. Here's hoping Apple—if it does borrow the feature—will do a cleaner job.
This discussion is now closed.

The allure of climbing Mount Everest [1]Submitted by eldes.tran on May 29th 2013, 10:27am
Sixty years ago, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest, known as Qomolangma in China and Chomolungma in Tibet. Their bavery and resilience set an example for many other adventurers in the following decades. The challenge of scaling Everest still attracts thousands of people from all walks of life who want to push themselves to the limit.
Hong Kong-based mountaineer Paul Niel successfully reached the top of the 8,848-metre Everest last week. And just for good measure he then scaled the nearby Lhotse, which is the world's fourth tallest mountain at 8,516 metres.
Niel also became only the ninth person to reach the summit of both Everest and Lhotse within 24 hours. Read the full story [2].

2. Aubrey McClendon, CEO, Chesapeake Energy (resigned as chairman, still CEO)
CEO of America's second-largest natural gas producer and champion of hydraulic fracking has a long history of mingling personal and company finances exposed. Often seen as an aggressive visionary, he was forced to sell all but 1% of his shares in 2008 and since then was allowed to run amuck by Chesapeake's board. The board stripped Aubrey of his Chairman title, but he remains CEO. Stock down 20% YTD.
Documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show that several major Wall Street banks lent Aubrey money and then received lucrative work as public-offering underwriters or financial advisers to Chesapeake.
Personally borrowed $500 million from EIG Global Energy Partners, which had also been a large financer for Chesapeake. In securing personal loans from his company's business associate, McClendon exposed himself to a potential conflict of interest, as it's reasonable to expect him to feel pressure to serve EIG's interests in future corporate transactions, potentially at the expense of the best interests of shareholders.
Reuters exposed a $200 million hedge fund trading oil and gas McClendon ran at the same time he was CEO of Chesapeake -- an obvious conflict of interest.
Personal piggy bank and conflicts of interest. While all disclosed, actions are opposite of appropriate corporate governance and leadership: Company jets for personal purposes, Chesapeake employees working for McClendon personally, corporate sponsorship deal for Oklahoma Thunder while McClendon was an owner of the team), old friends on board. Reminds me of Rigas family of Adelphia (not disclosed, so they ended up in jail), and other CEOs who couldn't keep personal and business sides of life separate.

-Paving the Way for ETP Innovation-
New York, January 29, 2013 – NYSE Euronext (NYX) celebrates the 20-year anniversary of the inaugural listing of SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE Arca: SPY) on January 29, 1993 and the significant growth and innovation of the Exchange Traded Product (ETP) industry since the landmark listing. In New York and Paris, NYSE Euronext executives and distinguished guests rang the Opening Bell while State Street Global Advisors (SSgA), executives rang the NYSE Closing Bell yesterday to celebrate the inaugural launch of SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE Arca: SPY) in honor of the occasion.
"NYSE Arca is proud to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the SPY listing and extraordinary growth of the ETP industry," said Laura Morrison, SVP, of Exchange Traded Products and Global Index Group. "We are proud of our leadership position in the ETP space and are committed to paving the way for issuers to bring innovative new products to the market in 2013 and beyond."
SPY is the most traded equity security in the world by dollar volume and the largest Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) with nearly $125 billion in assets under management. Since the listing of SPY, over 1,450 ETPs have been listed in the U.S. representing over $1.38 trillion in assets and accounting for nearly 30% of all U.S. equity trading. NYSE Arca continues to have the highest market share of any U.S. exchange in both exchange traded product listings and trading.
To further mark the celebration, NYSE Euronext launched a 20th Anniversary website featuring an interactive ETP timeline, videos, and additional information on the industry.
Click here to watch the video footage from today's ETP anniversary opening and closing bell ceremonies posted on NYSE YouTube channel.
