Aztec Part 1
By David Besozzi from Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School in HISTORY
This video belongs to the following courses: Mesoamerica
The Aztec empire was a tribute empire based in Tenochtitlan, which extended its power throughout Mesoamerica in the late postclassic period. It originated in 1427 as a triple alliance between the city-states Tenochtitlan, Texcoco and Tlacopan who allied to defeat the Tepanec state of Azcapotzalco, that had previously dominated the Basin of Mexico. Soon Texcoco and Tlacopan became junior partners in the alliance which was de-facto led by the Mexica of Tenochtitlan. The empire extended its power by a combination of trade and military conquest. It was never a true territorial empire controlling a territory by large military garrisons in conquered provinces, but rather controlled its client states primarily by installing friendly rulers in conquered cities, by constructing marriage alliances between the ruling dynasties, and by extending an imperial ideology to its client states. Client states paid tribute to the Aztec emperor, the Huey Tlatoani, in an economic strategy limiting communication and trade between outlying polities making them depend on the imperial center for the acquisition of luxury goods. The political clout of the empire reached far south into Mesoamerica conquering cities as far south as Chiapas and Guatemala and spanning from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans. The empire reached its maximal extent in 1519 just prior to the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors led by Cortés who managed to topple the Aztec empire by allying with some of the traditional enemies of the Aztecs, the Nahuatl speaking Tlaxcalteca.

November 25, 2015
The Republican presidential hopefuls are duking it out, two days before Tuesday's primaries in Alabama and Mississippi.
Santorum, who decisively won Saturday's caucuses in Kansas, argued that a head-to-head contest between himself and Mitt Romney should "occur sooner rather than later."
For his part, a defiant Gingrich is predicting victories on Tuesday.
He called Romney the weakest Republican front-runner since Gen. Leonard Wood, who ran for the nomination in 1920 but lost on the 10th ballot to Warren Harding.
Losing Alabama and Mississippi would effectively spell the end for Gingrich, who has been banking on an all-Southern strategy.
The former House speaker's lone primary wins have been in South Carolina and Georgia.
A win for Romney in Alabama, where polling shows a tight three-way contest, could all but bring the GOP nominating process to a close.
The former Massachusetts governor has built a substantial delegate lead against his rivals.
But he has yet to win a state in the Deep South, home to the Republican Party's most conservative voters.

Adam McCloud was out with friends late one night last week when he got into a fight at Smalley's Caribbean Barbeque & Pirate Bar in downtown Stillwater.
Now, McCloud, 29, of Bayport, is fighting for his life.
McCloud is in critical condition in the intensive-care unit at Regions Hospital in St. Paul. Family members say he suffered a serious head injury after he was punched, fell backward and hit the floor of the bar at Smalley's, 423 S. Main St., about 2 a.m. Friday, Sept. 28.
"A moment of thoughtless action has ruined Adam's life and the life of the person who hit him and countless other individuals," Larry Odebrecht, McCloud's brother-in-law, said Tuesday, Oct. 2. "As a family, we hope that others will learn from this and realize that senseless violence can sometimes destroy lives."
Stillwater police on Monday arrested Eric Richard, 22, of Stillwater, in connection with the assault. Richard is being held at the Washington County Jail on suspicion of first-degree assault -- great bodily harm.
McCloud grew up in Bayport, graduated from Stillwater Area High School and works as a bartender at Acapulco Restaurante Mexicano in Stillwater. A Caring Bridge page has been set up at caringbridge.org/visit/adammccloud.
McCloud and Richard did not know each other, but they had been interacting throughout the evening, said Sgt.
When police arrived at Smalley's, McCloud was lying on the floor and appeared to have a head injury, Stender said. "The victim was conscious at the time, but officers were told by witnesses that he had been knocked out," he said.
The victim was taken to Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater then transferred to Regions after the seriousness of his injuries was determined, Stender said.
Richard wasn't arrested until Monday because police at first thought the victim's injuries were minor, Stender said. "Over the course of the weekend, the victim's medical status deteriorated," he said. "On Monday morning, we were informed the victim was in critical condition with an uncertain prognosis."
Richard is expected to be charged Wednesday in Washington County District Court, Stender said.
Police have been called to Smalley's three times in the past 10 days to investigate assaults, Stender said.
"It was a Thursday night," Odebrecht said. "He was out with friends. You don't think that a family restaurant in Stillwater is going to be the place where this kind of thing happens."

Sanctuary Cove report, major new player in Australian Marine Industry
What a week! Boats in all their myriad extrusions and price tags, along with every conceivable marine and lifestyle accessory, event, media and organisation congregated at Sanctuary Cove for the 22nd annual boat show last week. AND for once, we can report that no exaggeration was necessary to inflate performance and reaction to the event.
It was a great year for all. While numbers were down, thanks to a taste of tropical (more like Antarctic) conditions on the Friday, business was bustling over the four days.
Sales, leads, enquiry and sea trials were all running hot during and now post-show. What more (other than blessed sunshine) could exhibitors wish for?
All the brands - big and small - share their SCIBS experiences and bumper sales results.
Also this week, stats and recent data from the US NMMA, outlined by Thom Dammrich, who was special guest at the marine industry breakfast last week to open Sanctuary Cove; news of upcoming boat show; some exciting news from Barry Jenkins who stepped down after 22 years in the role of GM at the Sanctuary Cove Intl Boat Show; the details of the marine industry's most innovative way to sell and buy boats, thanks to the entry of Ray White Surfers Paradise in a joint venture with the owners of Marina Oceanus.
As an advertiser or potential advertiser you need to look carefully at our story about online competitions.
Steven Bond from OziOpti in Melbourne is getting priceless feed back. 100+ entries after only one day - with a 23 question survey completed and with full contact information. OziOpti will get thousands of these data sets and we are providing the full data analysis system so Steven and his team can make the best use of all this information.
A shining example of how Sail-World.com and our group not only reach your target market, but generate a response that cannot be gained with any other marine media group.
After you've read this newsletter, spend five minutes and enter the competition and think what we could do for your company. Who knows at the same time you might win an Opti for the kids or grand kids and one for the Club!?
Have a great week! Enjoy some positive news and great business insight.

Big plays lift Union past Leechburg
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Lightning strikes delayed kickoff, and big-play strikes plagued Leechburg after action started.
The game was delayed about 30 minutes because of lightning, then Union raced to a 35-0 win over Leechburg in a nonconference game at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Union produced eight plays of 15 yards or more, with four going for touchdowns.
"We live and die by the big play," Union coach Stacy Robinson said. "We hope we can continue that through the year, but we have to get better and be able to be more methodical in our approach."
Leechburg junior running back Kris Smith finished the game with 79 rushing yards on 14 carries and one catch for 7 yards.
Union running back Drew Robinson put the first points on the board with a 72-yard run on the third play of the game.
Following a Leechburg fumble, Union quarterback Joe Salmen hit receiver Clifford Clark for a 37-yard score and a 13-0 lead. Salmen's point-after attempt missed.
Salmen later connected with Robinson for a 41-yard score before running one in from 11 yards out. Union led, 27-0, at halftime.
"Once they got a couple of big plays, they started taking it to us," Leechburg coach Mark George said. "We just didn't come back and take it back and them."
Robinson rushed nine times for 111 yards and one score and caught one pass for 41 yards and touchdown.
"He's the main guy I expect to do it," Robinson said. "Drew can do it. When Drew gets it done, that just opens it up for everybody else."
Robinson added another score on defense, returning a fumble 74 yards for a second-half touchdown.
Salmen completed 5 of 13 passes for 131 yards.
"He has the ability to make the big play," Robinson said of Salmen. "He can scramble and make something good happen."
Leechburg's big plays weren't its their way, but its ability to move the ball downfield was not lacking.
"We have a drive, we have to punch it in," George said. "We did last week; we didn't this week. We just have to get better at that."
Leechburg had three drives end with an interception and two with fumbles.

"In your heart you know he is right." Bumper Sticker from the Barry Goldwater/Curtis Le May Republican campaign against Lyndon Johnsonin the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination.
Goldwater told the American people we were going into a war in Vietnam and he and Gen. "Nuke 'em till they glow" Le May said they would be in and out of Vietnam in six months.
The left's rejoinder was, "In your guts you know he is nuts."
Johnson promised to keep us out of a war in the southeast Asian jungle. Johnson lied, was elected and the war went on for 14 years. It was fought strategically with limited goals to avoid widening the war. We were not allowed to sink supply ships from Europe or rail lines from Russia and China, nor could we hit some targets in the north or Cambodia. We fought the politicians' war.
We may be on our way to WW III in Syria by accident with limited political objectives. But, unless a war is fought against all enemies simultaneously to win a war, it is not worth the fight.
Le May and his B52 fleet of the 1960s could have defeated Russia and China, as well as Vietnam. Goldwater was right, and the left was wrong again.
After WW II, Joe McCarthy was right about the infiltration of communists at the highest levels of our government. Those he named were proven to be spies and traitors after the Soviet Union fell in 1989. The Roosevelt administration was loaded with socialists and communists as FDR sought a third term, just as the present administration is loaded with leftists and communists who want to transform the USA into a NAZI state.

Re: sql2k5 schema qualifier

Hi Dave
If you do not specify a schema name, SQL Server will look in your default
schema, then in the dbo schema.
This is very similar to what we happens in SQL Server 2000, in that
unqualified objects are first checked to see if they are owned by the
current user, then checked to see if they are owned by dbo.
Roles, permissions,etc do not help determine what schemas to check.
The reason is that there can be objects of the same name in different
schemas (or in SQL 2000, owned by different users).
What if MIS and MIS_TABLES both included a table named foo_bar? Which one
would you want?
Can you explain what behavior you saw in SQL 2000 that makes you say it was
Kalen Delaney, SQL Server MVP
"Dave Joyner" <d4ljoyn@xxxxxxxxx> wrote in message
I need to make it so that a given user can access objects in two different
schemas without the qualifier
addg (default schema MIS)
now log in as addg
select * from foo (works)
select * from foo_bar (this doesn't work)
select * from mis_tables.foo_bar (works)
I can't figure out how to do this -- after trying adding roles and
altering users, etc., etc. seems like it was easy in 2k.
This has to do with external tools that embed the fully qualified object
name in everything.
Thank you for your time

XIX International AIDS Conference
The International AIDS Society (IAS) AIDS Conference held in the District of Columbia in July of 2012 was a success. Treatments are getting better, the importance of prevention and condoms were reinforced, and ideas exchanged, as well as hope for an AIDS-free generation raised. President Bill Clinton addressed the Conference Delegates and said:
"…In the City [the District of Columbia], government and community leadership has been reinvigorated around community viral load testing and test and treat strategies. They are making a difference. Since 2007 there has been a three-fold increase in the number of people being tested every year, a ten-fold increase in the number of condoms being distributed every year, 300,000 clean needles provided every year, and 90% of the people who test HIV positive from Washington, DC see a doctor within three days."
Additionally, over 50 abstracts and posters were submitted and approved for presentations from the District of Columbia. Much time and effort was given to make this event a success.
Below are links to many of the Conference highlights sponsored by the IAS.

"The food is pretty good The vegetables are fresh and are wonderful! The meat is anywhere from good to great depending on the texture you like The breakfast options are a little sad with just eggs with a meat side so if you aren't a big breakfast person, I would just make eggs yourself as I wasn't a big fan of the egg texture or the bacon's texture The snacks are good too Value is great with the groupon and still not horrible compared to other food systems without it Some of the food needs more time in the microwave than on the package (meat is sometimes cold in the middle even with full time+10 seconds) I take out the meat after microwaving, remove it from the plastic, and then cut in the middle and feel the temperature to make sure it's done Have not measured self or weighed self since that is their recommendation but feel slight differences in clothing fit Worth a try if you want to change your eating habits"

PortalGuard's Five Layer Authentication Offers Quintessential Solutions for the Worsening Webmail Vulnerability Crisis
AMHERST, NH, Jan 31, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- The PortalGuard platform's layered authentication approach adds protection which is crucial in defending Outlook Web App (OWA) against attacks, an often overlooked and critically weak focal point for illegitimate access to most any corporate network, with minimal tradeoff between security and usability.
Through providing a variety of two-factor authentication methods for logins, the PortalGuard platform effectively alleviates the threat of compromised webmail credentials, greatly enhancing and securing OWA's native simple password authentication. In addition, the platform presents options for enhancing the authentication for self-service password reset, eliminating the compromise between allowing user self-service and softening security.
"It is very clear that in an unprecedented number of accounts involving the compromise of corporate infrastructure in recent years, access to employee email accounts were a primary factor," says Thomas Hoey, founder and CEO of PortalGuard, a company whose principals have always centered on providing companies with low-risk, robust functionality, and dedicated customer service, all while maintaining usability at an affordable price point. "Webmail access is sought after by hackers for an overwhelming number of reasons. An email account contains a wealth of data that can be easily leveraged for further takeover of the individuals or company's assets or services," Hoey says. "Everything from password reset links, sensitive corporate information, and all of your personal data is there as well, to be waded through for answers to password recovery questions. It's in essence an archive with everywhere you've been and everything you've done online, making it the perfect place to initiate any sort of attack. Most OWA logins are publicly available and typically secured with the simplest lock available: a basic password." To hearken to the theme of usability, PortalGuard also offers completely transparent One-time Password (OTP) delivery methods to achieve its two-factor authentication in addition to the traditional, tangible type. Through use of its Transparent Tokenless Toolbar (TTT) browser plugin, the enhanced protection of two-factor authentication is combined with utmost usability, when a user is able to submit a full-fledged two-factor authentication without the need of a phone, hard-token, or anything the user has besides their laptop. The TTT automatically generates time based OTPs (TOTPs) on a regular interval, as well as encrypts the OTP value with public key cryptography. This ensures that the OTP is only able to be decrypted and read by the PortalGuard server, as well as severely limits the amount of time the OTP is valid if it were to be somehow compromised.
With the TTT plugin installed, authenticating on a machine that passes a set of risk-based criteria requires just the users' password, nothing more than a standard OWA login, despite that a secure two-factor authentication is actually taking place.
"For many, the importance of locking down your webmail access appears to be overlooked," Hoey continues, "Others are certainly actively securing their OWA logins, through SSL, or hiding them behind reverse proxies, which are all partial answers. The fact of the matter is: multi-factor authentication is the only solution that addresses the issue of it being a weakest link in its entirety." The full version of the PortalGuard authentication platform software is available for $7,500 USD per installation, and comes with a 90 day money back guarantee. A trial version of PortalGuard is also available. For details, please visit the company website (www.portalguard.com).

Josh Durham
Many might think of dusting for fingerprints, scouring phone records and hunting for physical clues as typical investigative work for police.
During an internship with the Springfield Police Department, Joshua Durham learned that computer forensics is another way to crack a case.
Durham graduated in May from Missouri State University with a double major in computer science and mathematics. He is now pursuing a master of science in natural and applied sciences at the university.
He completed his internship with the police department as an undergraduate. He helped retrieve data from computers in criminal cases.
"As an intern, I learned about the techniques and tools used in computer forensics and how to apply them to real world cases," said Durham.
The internship not only taught Durham how to retrieve data, but it also allowed him to help write software for tracking data.
"Some of the types of data we looked for were file systems, pictures, videos and actually just about any kind of digital data you can think of," he said.
One of the most important tasks Durham had during his internship was to locate items that had been deleted.
"When people had tried to delete, modify or hide data on their computer, we could find it, and it could be used in court or help in an investigation," said Durham. "This process can be tedious; data has to be copied bit by bit in order for it to be recovered completely."
Durham is a graduate assistant for Missouri State's office of Web and new media. He helps maintain and develop code for MSU websites and Web-based applications.
"It has a lot to do with my degree since it has required me to utilize everything I've learned while studying computer science at Missouri State University," said Durham. "It's really great because the job is so dynamic, and I learn something new every day."
Durham plans to pursue a Ph.D.
"I was pretty set on pursuing an advanced degree before I started the internship," he said. "However, it sparked an interest in computer security for me."

South Allegheny believes playoffs within its grasp
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Could this be the year the South Allegheny boys basketball team breaks its drought?
The Gladiators haven't been to the WPIAL playoffs since the 2002-03 season, but there's plenty of reason to think this could be a breakout year.
"We're excited," said senior swingman Kordell Thompson, one of four returning starters and the team's leading scorer the past two seasons. "Everyone on our basketball team can come in and make an impact."
South Allegheny coach Tony DiCenzo, in his second season, offered similar sentiments after witnessing the Gladiators' progress a year ago, when they rebounded from an 0-21 record to post an 8-14 overall mark, 4-8 in Section 3-AA.
"We missed the playoffs by one game in the standings," DiCenzo said. "We were playing competitively in the end, but a lack of experience and familiarity with winning kind of hurt us."
The 6-foot-1 Thompson averaged 16.5 points per game in 2012-13 to help South Allegheny improve dramatically over the previous season.
"We're working hard in practice. We seem to have a lot of good chemistry with this team," Thompson said, adding that the addition of 6-1 senior Ty Cook, who hasn't played organized basketball since he attended ninth grade at McKeesport, likely would give South Allegheny a boost heading into its opener on Friday against Class AAA Elizabeth Forward at the Brownsville Tipoff Tournament.
Cook, a versatile two-way player for the South Allegheny football team, is expected to join Thompson, senior point guard Harry Matczak and 6-3 senior forwards Jeiron Lewis and Derek Vargo in the Gladiators opening-night lineup.
The bench is expected to be led by 5-10 junior Johnny Perkins and 5-11 junior Dylan Papson.
Cook, who threw four touchdown passes to Thompson during the football season, joins the basketball team much in the same way that another former South Allegheny football player, Brandon Murn, did in 2012-13. The 6-2 Murn, a freshman running back at Division II West Virginia Wesleyan, provided a defensive spark for the Gladiators a year ago.
"A very similar situation," DeCenzo said. "Brandon was an incredible defensive player and rebounder who many times guarded the other team's inside player. We really don't have a dominant inside player. Ty is going to be very good at that spot this year, but I believe he has the ability to play anywhere and score a little bit more than Brandon did."
Cook is adjusting to the hardwood with ease, saying that learning the team's offensive sets has come easy.
"I knew it instantly," he said. "It just came naturally to me because, really, basketball actually was my first choice before I became serious about football when I came to South Allegheny (from McKeesport) my sophomore year."
With Thompson again expected to lead the way on the offensive end, DiCenzo hopes Cook's presence will spark continued defensive awareness at South Allegheny.
"We're not going to sneak up on anyone this year," DiCenzo said. "Coming into games last year, I doubt teams prepared much for us, so we were able to play competitively at times, with a lot of the upper echelon teams in our section. We're going to have to work a little bit harder to be better this year.
"We preach and preach and preach defense. We were among the top teams in points allowed (45.9 ppg.) in the WPIAL last year. If we could hold teams to low numbers, we had a chance to be in the game. We hope the kids buy into that again this year."

KUSA - 9Wants to Know rode along with a team of civil engineers conducting emergency inspections of flood-affected dams. The state identified 200 dams that needed to be inspected over a 10-day period.
9Wants to Know has been investigating how the state and federal governments are working to repair the roads, bridges and dams that were put to the test during September's massive storms. 9wants to Know reporter Melissa Blasius joined a crew Wednesday as it scrutinized the dams in the Red Feather Lakes area of Larimer County. Many of the emergency dam inspectors are civil engineers from private companies who volunteered to assist the state.
Dam safety experts say critical dams protecting neighborhoods, industrial areas, and populations are designed to withstand the "maximum possible flood". They say smaller dams in Colorado are usually designed to withstand a 100-year flood, but some areas were inundated beyond that level.
"Big Elk Meadows near Allenspark is where we got hit really hard," said Colorado dam safety engineer Kallie Bauer. "There were five dams in a row, and they were cascading down, and they got a lot more water than they could handle."
Bauer says at least nine small dams were breached during the flooding. She says inspectors have found minor damage to some other dams, but that damage does not impact the dams' overall safety.
"Our dams have performed really well," said Bauer.
As of Thursday, inspectors had completed 89 condition assessments. The Colorado Department of Natural Resources' Dam Safety Branch says 62 reports show no damage. There are 24 reports of some minor damage that is not a safety concern. There are 2 condition reports that need follow-up from dam engineers; however, the conditions are described as low hazard. State officials hope those results will alleviate people's worries about dam failures.
The state's Dam Safety Branch regulates and inspects nearly 2000 dams in Colorado. Inspection frequency is based on hazard level, which indicates the potential damage that would be caused by a dam failure. The state classifies 373 dams as high hazard, 333 as significant hazard and 1028 as low hazard. Nearly 250 dams inspected are considered to pose no public hazard.

In Arabic, English, Governance, Human Rights, Middle East & North Africa, Photos, Quick Reads, Saudi Arabia
You are not allowed to name your newborn daughter Eman, or Sandy, or Yara. And if it is a boy, names like Abdelnasser, Amir or Abdulmoeen are a no go. But that's only in Saudi Arabia. On Twitter, Iyad El Baghdadi shares this list of baby names banned in the absolute monarchy:

Home ⋅ Thank You Notes and Photo Baby Thank You Cards ⋅ Flowers & Nature ⋅ Frames & Flourishes ⋅ Thank you
"I was looking for a twins-themed thank you card to use for my baby shower gifts. This design was great b/c it is gender neutral (mine are boy/girl) and also appropriate for my couples shower (i.e., not too girly). I customized the text to say "Thank You" instead of having my name. It just seemed to make more sense. I also changed the font since the default suggestion seemed a little bit passe. The finished product is clean, simple, and cute! One nit-picky suggestion was that I would have liked the option to extend the yellow border or design to the back of the card. I did not have the perfect photo(s) to use in that space, but hated to leave it entirely blank."
"These thank you cards are perfect for spring as well as anytime of the year. They are true to the description. I also ordered the labels which were just as lovely."
"Great cards for a young lady. Big enough to write her own message without being intimidating to a youngster. I enhanced her cards with her own colored pen."
"Just like with the invite, I customized the coloring on the thank you notes and Customer Service was very very helpful! Thank you!"
"These cards make me smile every time I look at them! Although they are meant to be baby shower thank you cards, I personalized them with my name and my husband's name and plan to use them as general purpose note cards. The card stock and print quality are very good, and I appreciate the matte paper finish which makes them easier to write on."

Simple Distillation
|Please note: (from top) use of clips to hold apparatus together, position of the thermometer, and the clamp holding the round bottom flask in place.
|Please note: from left: use of clamp to hold collection flask, white tubing is where water goes in, red tubing is where water goes out.
Distillation is probably the most common technique for purifying organic liquids. In simple distillation, a liquid is boiled and the vapors work through the apparatus until they reach the condenser where they are cooled and reliquify. Liquids are separated based upon their differences in boiling point. Two important things to note: 1) the tip of the thermometer must be correctly positioned slightly below the center of the condenser to accurately reflect the temperature of the vapors (see above left) and 2) the water supply should be connected to the lower port in the condenser and the drainage tube connected to the upper (in the picture on the right the right tube is connected to the water supply and the red tube is a drainage tube). Also be sure to use the thin-walled tubing and not the heavy walled vacuum tubing. Be very careful that your water lines do not come in direct contact with your hot plate, as the lines could melt resulting in a flood. Be sure to clamp both the round bottom boiling flask and the collection tube. Knocking over your collection tube at the end of the experiment if VERY frustrating. Below is a diagram of assembly: Generally, boiling stones will be added to the boiling flask to ensure even boiling. It is also wise to use some type of clamps to connect the various pieces of the distillation apparatus together. For low boiling liquids, enough heat may be provided simply by resting your flask on the hot plate (as shown above). You can also insulate your boiling flask and Claisen adaptor with aluminum foil. For higher boiling liquids it may be necessary to use an oil or sand bath to reach higher temperatures. The individual pieces of glassware needed for a simple distillation are diagrammed below.
Be sure to use the blue clips to attach the vacuum adaptor and
the Claisen tube and the distillation adaptor.
Fractional Distillation
The setup for a fractional distillation is very similar to that for simple distillation. The only difference is the addition of a fractional distillation column, usually packed with some material of high surface area that produces a more efficient separation than the simple distillation. The same advice regarding the thermometer placement, clamping, and hook-up of the water tubes in the simple distillation also apply to the fractional distillation. As this apparatus is larger, practice additional caution to be sure that no glassware is broken or product loss. The choice whether to use the simple or the fractional setup will depend on the compounds that you are trying to separate. Obviously, the simple distillation setup is simpler and the distillation generally will be quicker than the fractional. However, the fractional setup is more efficient at separating liquids with fairly similar boiling points and at times is required.
|On the left, note that the tube
connected to the spigot is connected to the lower part of the
condenser, while the drainage tube is connected to the higher part. Also, note the position of the thermometer.
|Please note the use of clamps to secure the round bottom flask and the collection flask.
Pictured on the left is the fractional distillation apparatus. A closer shot is on the right. Notice that the only difference between this apparatus and the simple distillation apparatus is that here, the fractional distillation column has been placed between the boiling flask and the distillation head. As in the simple distillation apparatus, not that the white tubing is connected to the water supply and the red tubing is the drainage tube. Also notice the position of the thermometer, blue clips, and clamps. A diagram of the apparatus is below.
