By this point, most students have already built their studying playlists from the ground up with songs that either pump them up or help them accept their futile desperation. Video game music, however, is often gravely overlooked in the dragging-and-dropping process. Sure, it's doubtful that the Call of Duty franchise's bro-out mix of electric guitar and orchestra will likely inspire anyone to crank out a 10-page paper, and one can only listen to the Tetris song looping for so long before considering self-lobotomizing. Luckily, Mario has had us covered since 1983 with surprisingly applicable songs to get through finals week, highlighting the good, the bad and the ugly. For those looking for a little more variety than throwing on Mumford and Sons on repeat and calling it a day, here are 11 classic Mario tracks fit to characterize any past or present gamer's finals week.
11.) The day before Reading Day (Super Mario 64 – "Bomb-omb Battlefield")
At this point, everyone is on top of the world. Strutting down Green after the last class of the semester, splurging on food and getting ready for whatever the night holds in store are all ideal ways to passively ignore the insurmountable amount of stress that will come shortly thereafter. From the synthesized bass to the ska-ish trumpets, "Bomb-omb Battlefield" is the song that introduced an entire generation to Mario on the N64. Let's face it, those were happy times.
10.) Occupying yourself with every social media/phone distraction possible (Super Mario Kart – "Koopa Troopa's Ranks")
You may have ambitiously planned out your entire final's week itinerary, but despite waking up at the crack of dawn to get started on preparing yourself, Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat are always a few clicks away. Koopa Troopa is always sort of aloof, clumsy even, so his racing anthem will likely match the mindlessness of sifting through tweets upon tweets of semi-interesting but irrelevant information.
9.) The moment when six cups of coffee finally kicks in (Mario Kart 64 – "Rainbow Road")
All of a sudden, spending three hours staring at a blank Word document turns into a night filled with vigorous typing and restored attentiveness. Rainbow is consistently the longest course to race at in the Mario Kart series, so when this triumphant melody comes on, you know you're in it for the long haul.
8.) When you FINALLY find your studying sweet spot (Super Mario World – "Athletic Theme")
The "Athletic" tracks in Mario games are normally meant to induce stress, but the surprisingly hectic yet calming, upbeat and foot-tapping Super Mario World rendition is one of the series' most light-hearted compositions. It takes a while, sometimes even hours, but once you find your stride and get off Facebook, pulling an all-nighter is a cinch.
7.) The post-all-nighter, coffee-fueled haze (Super Mario Bros. [All-Stars] – "Underwater Theme")
Tunnel-vision at its finest, this one is for emerging out of the UGL and nearly being burned by the sun's intensity like a hermit coming out of his cave for the first time. While the "Underwater Theme" is placid and elegant, the effects of six cups of caffeine and a whopping zero hours of sleep on a student are not. It's a fairly dreamy song appropriately fitting for a likely defeated, dreamlike state.
6.) Running late to a final after over-sleeping (Super Smash Bros. – "Starman Theme")
This one's probably best for when the alarm clock "malfunctions" conveniently on the day of your most important final. While it's certainly not a guarantee for invincibility, you'll probably break through a few walls running at that speed in attempts to not completely fail a class.
5.) Relaxing after destroying/bombing your first final (Super Mario Sunshine – "Sirena Beach")
Soothing bass, spacey synth and slightly twangy guitar can easily instill the image of resting on a beach while gazing at the shoreline sunset. If you're heading to the coast this summer, chill out for a second and let "Sirena Beach" remind you of what's just around the corner.
4.) The anxiety before taking your most important final (Super Mario Galaxy 2 – "Haunty Halls Galaxy")
Depending on how much you prepared, this exam could be a breeze or an absolute catastrophe waiting to happen. Either way, the worst part isn't taking it, but rather the sweaty, finger-spasm anticipation as your professor begins administering the exams. The "Ghost House" theme has been making gamers uneasy since Super Mario World, and this revamped edition is no exception.
3.) Taking one glance at an exam and not remembering anything (Super Mario Bros. 3 – "Ice Land Theme")
World 6 of Super Mario Bros. 3 has always been a little rough on the ears with its harsh twinkles. Granted, this song would probably produce more unnerving stress than needed during this situation, but at least it will make searching for the inevitable "throwaway" question all the more dramatic.
2.) Powering through your last final at the five-minute mark (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island – "Giant Baby Bowser Battle")
Granted, processed drum machine speed metal had its time and place in the '90s, but it wasn't always a headache to listen to. Out of all of Bowser's final boss themes, the most intense and robustly epic anthem belongs to a battle between a miniature version of Mario's arch-nemesis, strangely enough. Whether you've finally had a pique of inspiration or just filling in random bubbles as fast as possible, this track will make sure you finish that last exam with adrenaline surging.
1.) After finishing the semester (Super Mario Bros. – "Flagpole Jingle")
Take this one as if that last final was the hardest "level" you've ever beaten. Short and sweet, the series' iconic end-of-the-level jingle instills a sense of triumph and relief no matter what the circumstance. Plus, bonus fireworks are always a welcome extra.

"Space" is the ninth episode of the first season of the American science fiction television series The X-Files. It premiered on the Fox network on November 12, 1993. It was written by series creator Chris Carter, directed by William Graham, and featured guest appearances by Ed Lauter and Susanna Thompson. The episode is a "Monster-of-the-Week" story, unconnected to the series' wider mythology. "Space" earned a Nielsen household rating of 6.5, being watched by 6.1 million households in its initial broadcast, and received negative reviews from critics.
The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files. When investigating possible sabotage in NASA's shuttle program, Mulder and Scully find that an astronaut who had been Mulder's childhood hero may be possessed by an extraterrestrial spirit.
Series creator Chris Carter was inspired to write "Space" after reading about news of the "face on Mars"—an instance of pareidolia wherein a mound in the Cydonia region of Mars was taken to resemble a human face. The episode was conceived as a low-budget bottle episode, due to several earlier episodes having exceeded their budgets. Although the episode made use of a significant amount of inexpensive stock footage from NASA, the construction of the command center set was subject to cost overruns, eventually leading the episode to become the most expensive of the first season.
The episode opens with news footage from 1977, showing the discovery of water on Mars and a face sculpted into the planet's landscape. Lt. Col. Marcus Aurelius Belt (Ed Lauter), the commander of the mission, is plagued by flashbacks of an encounter with the disembodied face during a spacewalk.
Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are approached by Michelle Generoo (Susanna Thompson), a communications commander for NASA's Mission Control. Generoo believes that someone within NASA is sabotaging launch attempts. A recent space shuttle liftoff was aborted seconds before commencement, and Generoo fears the next launch will be similarly compromised. She also has a personal interest, as her fiancé will be aboard the next mission.
Mulder and Scully travel to NASA and meet Belt, a childhood hero of Mulder's. Belt, who now manages the shuttle program, dismisses the agents' concerns and states that nothing can possibly go wrong with the mission. He allows the agents to watch the launch from Mission Control. The launch is successful. As the agents are leaving however, Generoo informs them that contact is lost with the shuttle in orbit. While driving back to Mission Control, Generoo sees the face come at her through her windshield, causing her to crash her car.
The shuttle has moved into direct sunlight and Mission Control is unable to rotate it into a safe position, putting the astronauts' lives in danger. Generoo believes that the uplink is being sabotaged. Belt orders the uplink to be cut, allowing the astronauts to rotate the craft manually. Over the objections of Generoo and the agents, Belt orders the mission to proceed and lies to the press about its progress. Belt tells Mulder that the shuttle program may be cancelled if the mission is not completed successfully.
Belt returns home and has another flashback, screaming as an astral presence leaves his body and flies out the window, heading into the sky. The astronauts then report hearing a thump outside the shuttle and begin to experience an oxygen leak. Belt fixes the situation, but orders the mission to proceed. The payload is successfully deployed, but a crew member reports seeing a ghostlike entity outside the ship. The agents examine NASA records and find evidence that Belt played a role in other failed missions, including the Challenger disaster.
Belt collapses and paramedics are called. Before Belt it taken away, he tells the agents that the shuttle will not survive reentry due to sabotage by the face, which had lived inside his body and possessed him. At his urging, they alert the shuttle to change its trajectory and are able to land it successfully. In the hospital, Belt continues to wrestle with the presence, and eventually leaps from the window to his death, experiencing a lengthy flashback to his last space mission as he falls. Mulder theorizes that, while Belt was compelled to sabotage the launches by the entity possessing him, he was also the one who sent Generoo the evidence of what was taking place. He lauds Belt's final sacrifice, stating that in the end he gave his life for the mission, as befits a true astronaut.[1]
"Space" was conceived as a low-budget bottle episode, due to several earlier episodes having exceeded their budgets.[2] Series creator Chris Carter was inspired to write the episode after reading about news of the "face on Mars"—an instance of pareidolia wherein a mound in the Cydonia region of Mars was taken to resemble a human face.[3] Although the episode made use of a significant amount of inexpensive stock footage from NASA, the construction of the command center set was subject to cost overruns, eventually leading the episode to become the most expensive of the first season.[4] Carter blames this on the infeasibility of showing the astronauts in the stricken shuttle, requiring additional exposition to explain their situation—something he found he could not manage "on an eight-day television budget".[3] Carter also claims that the episode suffered from being filmed shortly after the pilot episode was broadcast, with the crew overwhelmed by the input, noting that "everything was happening at once".[2]
Several scenes in the episode were filmed at a Canadian Airlines operations center in Richmond, British Columbia. The crew were given permission by the airline to use their flight simulators, leading to the production being delayed while everyone had a turn simulating flights over Canada.[5] The problematic command center set was constructed and filmed at an amphitheater in Vancouver, whose sloping surfaces helped to suggest computer terminals without needing much construction, although false computer monitors were added for shots when they would be in view.[6]
Guest star Ed Lauter had previously worked with the episode's director, William A. Graham, on the film Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones. On his role in the episode, Lauter has stated "I don't really have a lot to say about that, except I thought I did a nice job, and that it was nice working up there in Vancouver with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson".[7]
Broadcast and reception[edit]
"Space" premiered on the Fox network on November 12, 1993, and was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC Two on November 17, 1994.[8] The episode earned a Nielsen household rating of 6.5 with an 11 share, meaning that roughly 6.5 percent of all television-equipped households, and 11 percent of households watching TV, were tuned in to the episode.[9] A total of 6.1 million households watched this episode during its original airing.[9]
The episode—reportedly Carter's least favorite[10]—was very poorly received. Frank Lovece, in his books The X-Files Declassified, called it "perhaps the series' dullest, least suspenseful episode", citing the spectral antagonist's "highly unclear motivations".[11] Keith Phipps, writing for The A.V. Club, reviewed the episode negatively, rating it a D+. He felt that the episode's special effects were "pretty decidedly unscary", and that the episode's premise was confusing and "a little tasteless" in its treatment of the Challenger disaster.[12] In a retrospective of the first season in Entertainment Weekly the episode was similarly derided, being rated a D- and described as "one dead hour".[10] Matt Haigh, writing for Den of Geek, reviewed the episode negatively, feeling that it was "nothing much to write home about", and that the episode's antagonist was "distinctly unimpressive, lacking any true sense of menace or intrigue".[13]

Basic piezo technologies for motion control applications
The most common piezo actuators and motor types are "simple" piezo actuator, flexure-guided, piezo actuator, ultrasonic friction motors, piezo stepping motors, and Ultrasonic transducers. Different piezo actuators and motor types are available. The most common ones are:
Piezoceramic motors and actuators have fewer mechanical component parts to wear out and service, and have ability to provide more accurate positioning, attractive attributes for medical device manufacturers. Different piezo actuators and motor types are available. The most common ones are:
A) "Simple" piezo actuator—expands proportionally to voltage. Motion is proportional to drive voltage.
Sub-groups include:
- Stacked actuator is the most common type, with high force, fast response, and short travel;
- Shear actuator has fast lateral motion, and XY systems are available. They can have high force and very high frequency, though travel typically limited to 20 µm;
- Tube actuator is mostly for microdispensing applications and atomic force microscopy (AFM) scanners; and
- Bender actuator has long travel (deflection) to several mm, but low force and low frequency.
B) Flexure-guided, piezo actuator has frictionless flexures, and motion amplifiers provide longer travel, and extremely straight motion. Motion is proportional to drive voltage.
- Integrated multi-axis systems are available;
- Motion range up to 2 mm and above; and
- Frictionless, without wear and tear.
C) Ultrasonic friction motors
- Based on high frequency oscillation of a piezo plate (stator);
- Unlimited motion, high speed, fast response (10 to 10s of millisecs);
- Oscillation is transferred to a slide or rotor via friction; and
- Due to friction, resolution is limited to typically 50 nm.
D) Piezo stepping motors
- Basically unlimited motion range;
- Based on accumulation of small controllable steps;
- Picometer resolution dither mode (direct piezo actuation);
- Compact and high force to 155 lb. (for off the shelf units); and
- Fast response (less than 1 millisec). Very high stiffness.
E) Ultrasonic transducers
- Plate or disk-driven with a high frequency at resonance; and
- Used as sensors or transmitters, and in nebulizers.

Annual Salary Survey
After almost a decade of uncertainty, the confidence of plant floor managers is soaring. Even with a number of challenges and while implementing new technologies, there is a renewed sense of optimism among plant managers about their business and their future.
The respondents to the 2014 Plant Engineering Salary Survey come from throughout the U.S. and serve a variety of industries, but they are uniform in their optimism about manufacturing. This year's survey found 79% consider manufacturing a secure career. That's up from 75% in 2013 and significantly higher than the 63% figure when Plant Engineering first started asking that question a decade ago.

History can be preserved, but how you remember it is what brings it back to life.
The historic Grande-Grossman House at Heritage Park was built in 1904 by my great-great grandfather Benito Grande's family.
The home, which originally was located at 709 Artesian St., was moved to Heritage Park in 1982 to save it from demolition.
The League of United Latin American Citizens Council No. 1 restored the home, which historians said was acquired in 1925 for Rebecca Grossman, the matriarch of the Grossman family that emigrated from Russia.
I knew about the house growing up, but during my childhood I didn't understand its impact on the community. And, I rarely visited the site on North Chaparral Street when traveling to Corpus Christi during summer vacations and spring break while growing up in San Antonio.
As I've grown and became a journalist, I appreciate what the home stands for and what it has to offer.
For me, it's a link to my past and a chance to find a common thread among family members. As a journalist, I also have an opportunity to share its allure and history.
The more I talk about the home with family, the more I want to know.
My great aunt Camilla Cherry Michael is the unofficial family historian and has a binder filled with family photos complete with handwritten notes from long ago.
My family said that when the home was on Artesian, it featured water fountains, a merry-go-round and a nearby park built for the family's children.
When my great-great grandfather's father died, Benito Grande took over the family business.
His saloon, the Ben Grande, was the city's greatest saloon in the early 1900s, wrote retired Caller-Times Viewpoints Editor Murphy Givens in a 2010 column.
"The Ben Grande had cockfights and, it was said, a man could ride up on his horse and a drink would be brought out to him," Givens wrote.
During Prohibition the saloon transitioned into a grocery store, Givens wrote.
It's those stories that I cherish. It's a part of the fabric of my family.
There's a sense of pride in knowing your heritage.
My husband and I got married in 2010 in front of the Grande-Grossman House.
We have a lot of pride for the house and its history. Maybe it's because we are journalists, but it's really because we care.
We got married at the front steps of the home ? in the blistering heat of June ? and our family members and friends took notice of the history, the culture and the infectious feeling of being a part of something and wanting to cherish it.
My grandfather died in February. He was the son of Clotilde Cherry, whose father was Ben Grande.
I see it as my role to keep branches of the family tree thriving long after generations have gone.
My 14-month-old son will know his Grande family history because of my husband and I.
With the Tejano Civil Rights Education Resource Center's Tejano Civil Rights Museum taking shape at the Grande-Grossman House, I have even more reason to cherish the home.
It's not only a home signifying my family's history; it's a place for the community to visit and learn more about South Texas culture while sharing in the passion of history and its longevity.

From Haaretz.com:
:On what must have been a slow day at the Knesset, the de facto head of the Health Ministry, MK Yakov Litzman, stated Monday that swine flu would be from here on in referred to as "Mexico Flu," as pork is non-kosher and considered unclean under Jewish law.
While "Mexico Flu" sounds like something you'd contract during a long weekend in Nuevo Laredo, and which could be treated through a quick visit to a local free clinic, swine flu can kill, and if the early reports end up to be correct, it may have already made its way to Israel.

Ronald Valenta
Thank you Chris. Good morning and thanks for joining us to discuss General Finance's results for the second quarter of our fiscal year 2014. I'll begin with a brief discussion of our operations and then discuss the outlook for our companies. Then our CFO, Chuck Barrantes will provide a financial overview and following his remarks we will open the call to your questions.
Our second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was another quarter of continued positive results where we delivered year-over-year growth in total revenues and adjusted EBITDA for the 15th consecutive quarter. We continue to significantly invest in our container fleet and also completed three accretive acquisitions to a North America and one in the Asia Pacific region. Our growth during the second quarter was led by another quarter of very strong performance in North America were at Pac-Van revenues and adjusted EBITDA grew 18% and 56% respectively. The increase in revenues at Pac-Van was primarily the result of the 28% year-over-year increase in leasing revenues as demand improved across most sectors. But particularly in construction, retail and commercial which also includes oil and gas customers. Pac-Van's lease grew by 32% year-over-year to nearly 18,600 units with all of the growth occurring in our storage, office and portable liquid storage tank container product lines. This is consistent with our status strategy to increase our investment in the container asset class.
Average fleet utilization was 80% during the quarter driven by continued strong utilization across most product lines particularly in storage containers where we experienced an 87% average utilization rate. We are very pleased with the broad based growth that we continue to see in this product line across both our end markets and geographies. We continue to experience solid results for our portable liquid storage tank container product line, we have responded to strong customer demand particularly in the oil and gas sector by expanding our leased fleet which is more than quadruple in the last 12 months to over 1,000 units at the end of the quarter.
We are also continuing to expand our portable liquid tank business to include non-oil and gas customers. And while this still represents a small portion of our current business, 10 out of the 20 branches that lease portable liquid tanks serve only non-oil and gas customers and we believe that we can continue to diversify into other end markets for the container product over time.

Get ready to hit the road with this rough-and-ready accessory bundle from Kodak. The olive-green hard-sided case is fabric-covered and zippered for easy access, plus it has an interior pocket for memory cards, and a belt clip for hands-free carrying. The accessory bundle also includes a matching olive-green camera strap, a flexible, rubberized, grip-anything tripod, and a 4GB Class 4 SDHC memory card so you can take those hard-won photos from your camping trip home with you.
Did not need but it came with the camera---free is always great.
Case is nice - hard shell. The memory card is a good starter. Not sold on the tripod yet, but it is light weight and so I hope it is useful as a 'just in case" carry along.
Bought this along with the camera, and it is a bundle of the nice to have extras to get started with a new camera. Especially if this is your first camera.
Bad quality cover !
Had this added when I purchased a Nikon Coolpix 3100 camera. For the price, one would be nuts not to get this package. The case fits well, the 4GB card is large enough for most uses, and the tripod comes in handy.
Pros: Price. Case seems good. 4Gig SD card. I like the tripod.
Cons: None
The strap is OK, and camera case is good quality; but the tripod is junk, and can easily break. It can twist into different positions which makes it perfect for a tinker toy
Great addition to camera

Islam never paid much attention to extraordinary phenomena and it didn't refer to superhuman personalities to convince people to adopt its message. We see this in the method the Prophet employed from the beginning in disseminating the message of Islam. In other religions, extraordinary events and miracles were commonly employed as proof of the religious message. In comparison, the only miracle employed by the Seal of the Prophets was the Holy Quran, which directly appeals to "righteous reason" (akl-ı selim) and a "fair disposition" (temiz fıtrat).
Let us imagine ourselves among the people of Quraysh whom Prophet Muhammad gathered together and addressed for the first time in A.D. 610. Let us ask ourselves, "What would my reaction have been had he invited me to join the new religion?" I am sure we would quickly reply, "Of course I would have believed him." But things are not as easy as they may seem. Suppose someone named Muhammad brought together people who had been believers in the same faith for centuries and asked them, "Would you believe me if I said, 'There is an enemy army behind this hill'?" All of them would reply, "Yes, we would." Muhammad would respond: "Then believe this as well. God is one and there is no god other than He and all the other gods you worship are nothing. The Angel of Revelation came to me. I am the Messenger of God."
Here the important thing is that this man who said that he was the messenger of God did not produce any miracle. The people whose mental and spiritual processes were disrupted did not see the Angel of Revelation. True, he was the most trustworthy and reliable person in Mecca. But what was the truth value of his words? He was just speaking.
Now let us ask: How did the Meccans verify the truth of his words? To what did they refer in doing this? Put yourself into the shoes of the first person Muhammad addressed and ask yourself this question: Would you quickly renounce your old beliefs, adopt new ones and change you lifestyle? Would it be so easy? How could they be sure that Prophet Muhammad was telling the truth?
Clearly they had nothing but their own reason and conscience to consult. They pondered the Prophet's words and made comparisons, and they discussed and criticized his words before coming to a conclusion. There were only two faculties which they could use as guides: reason and conscience. Only by using their reason and conscience would they be able to conclude whether or not the Prophet was telling the truth. Indeed, those who were able to seek guidance from their reason and conscience were eventually able to believe in him, and those who could not refused to believe.
This indicates that Islam directly appeals to "reasonable people." It sends its message to righteous reason and it calls on people to think, meditate and reason about everything. Therefore, contrary to what many Westerners claim, Islam suggests that there is an important link between belief in God and the nature of reason. In doing so, Islam also stresses that people should not stick to old habits and practices blindly, because people in the past may have failed to use their reason effectively. In Arabic, one sense of the term "aql" (reason) is something that connects two things. So from an epistemological perspective, reason is the bond between man and God.
Islam's greatest achievement was to return reason to its proper value and position. Humans have, through the guidance of revelation, used their intellect, produced knowledge and experimented. They regarded reason as the first step on a spiritual journey. Some peripatetic philosophers (Mashsha'i) and Sufis even argued that Archangel Gabriel was "Aql ul Fa'al" (active intellect). If the most precious piece of knowledge is to know oneself, then one can only learn about oneself via one's reasoning soul.

Additional Location Information
Casa Lucia is situated in the centre of Minori, along the Amalfi Coast, but only 4 Km. from Amalfi and 8 Km. from Ravello. We do not recommend having a car at this property - the nearest grocery shop, bus stop etc... is 200 m.
Minori is an enthralling small town near Amalfi, nestled on a narrow valley which stretches down to the sea, where it becomes a bay in a crescent moon shape. It is famous for its sweet specialities, and you have to try the candies and desserts of its pasticcerie (bakeries) !
Nearby tourist attractions Amalfi is about 5 km (about 3 miles) away, and Positano is 15 km (about 9.3 miles) away. Minori is connected to other towns of the coast through buses of the company SITA. From the harbour of Minori, ferries leave to Salerno, Amalfi, Positano, Capri, Sorrento, and Naples. Staying at La Siesta is ideal for those who wish to enjoy a beautiful and large beach close to places of the area of great tourist interest as Amalfi, Ravello, Positano, Capri, Sorrento, Pompeii, Paestum, the Reggia (Royal Palace) of Caserta, among others.
From Minori there are SITA buses which connect all the Amalfi Coast towns and Sorrento Coast, also ferry boats to Capri Positano and Sorrento.
From Casa Lucia, those who like hiking and climbing will be able to easily reach the famous trail along the ridge of the mountains that overlook the Amalfi Coast. For its extraordinary beauty, made of precipices and breathtaking views, the trail is called "Sentiero degli Dei�: Path of the Gods.
If you are fond of archaeology, Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum are easily within reach, and, of course, Naples and Salerno as well.

|METHOD FOR VAPOR-CLEANING OBJECT TO BE CLEANED AND DEVICE THEREFOR - When an object to be cleaned is vapor cleaned in the prior art, a tubular cleaning tube is arranged on the top face of the cover plate, at the outer periphery of the outlet, so that the cleaning vapor can accumulate, allowing very little pushing out the air in the working chamber. In the present invention, an outlet is provided in a cover plate through which cleaning vapor flows out into an ordinary pressure working chamber thereabove; condensation of this outflowing cleaning vapor at a low position in the ordinary pressure working chamber is made possible by a condensation unit; and a tubular cleaning tube is arranged at the outer periphery of the outlet on the top face of a cover plate, whereby the cleaning vapor rises up in the cleaning tube so that an object to be cleaned can be vapor cleaned by receiving it in this cleaning tube.
|APPARATUS FOR WASHING OBJECT TO BE WASHED - [Problem] Since a working chamber for performing an operation of washing an object to be washed is provided so as to move vertically in a washing tank and be separated from the washing tank and airtightly shut off, a minimal space required for an operation of washing the object to be washed such as drying under reduced pressure can be provided, and drying under reduced pressure can be efficiently performed in the presence of washing liquid or washing vapor in the washing tank without unnecessary burden on a reduced pressure system.

Report: Fatah-Islam, Palestinian group behind minister assassination
Lebanese investigators have concluded that al Qaeda-inspired militants killed a Christian Lebanese minister in 2006, a Lebanese newspaper reported on Saturday.
An-Nahar daily said results of the investigation into the Nov. 21 assassination of Industry Minister Pierre Gemayel would be made public soon and would show proof against Fatah al-Islam militants.
Gemayel was assassinated while driving in a Christian suburb of Beirut. The country's ruling coalition, to whom Gemayel's Phalange Party belongs, accused Damascus of his killing. Syria denied any involvement.
Lebanese investigators found a car suspected of being used in Gemayel's murder last month during a crackdown against militants across the north, security sources have said, according to Reuters. Lebanese sources claim Ahmed Jibril's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command played a role in the murder.

In an app I'm building, One of the features i'd like users to be able to discover people around them easily. I'm using the GPS to get the latitude and longitude, then storing that information in the mysql db along with the other user information under a column for latitude and another with the longitude. What's would the best practice be to do a query that looks at the person whos making the query's information...and then have it find the closest possible relatable lat and longitude then start there and limit it to 24 results? And furthermore, how would I remember where it stopped so I could allow another query to start where it left off and return more getting further and further away
Basically, to generalize how can I do a mysql query that starts as close as it can to 2 latitude and longitude points that I supply and then have it grab the next 24 sorted by closest to furthest?
I feel like its going to be hard to do because its being based on 2 columns. Is there a way I should/could be combining the GPS values into 1 column so it will be easy to find relative distance?
Maybe I could somehow get the zip code (but then that might cause non US problems). I'm not sure. I'm stuck.
If anyone has any experience on this, or is a MySQL Master could you please share any insight on this topic? It would really help. Thanks!

Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
In the building, free or for a fee
The Space
Rosslyn is one of the oldest character homes in Nairobi and it has been our family home for more than 50 years.
We offer bed and breakfast in a small but cosy single bedroom, 'Amanda's Room', in our historic home.
Across the pretty courtyard with water feature is shared bathroom (only if we have other guests or family) with original claw foot bath and hand held shower and toilet and basin.
Full English breakfast is a house specialty, fresh fruit, tea or freshly brewed fine Kenya coffee, cooked breakfast with our own free range eggs, toast, marmalades, muesli/oats/porridge are all available. If you have any dietary requirements please let us know at time of booking.
Rosslyn was used as the home and garden of 'The Constant Gardener' 2005 drama thriller film starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz who won an Oscar for her role.
Guest Access
You have access to and use of the living areas of the house, sitting room, dining room, front or side verandahs, kitchen, courtyard, bathroom, secure parking and 2 acres of English style garden with expansive lawns.
Interaction with Guests
You can chose your level of interaction; keep your privacy or join whoever of the family are in our home at the time.
Sonia, my mother, lives at Rosslyn and is a great hostess and I spend about half the year here.
The Neighborhood
Thigiri, or New Muthaiga, was until the 1970s a large coffee estate when it was sold for residential 1 acre plots. Our home, Rosslyn, preceeding the development, was built by Andy Anderson, a hunter, in 1919.
Rosslyn is a 5 minute drive to the Village Market, 7 minutes to the United Nations offices at Gigiri (more at peak times), 10 minutes to Westlands, 20 minutes to downtown Nairobi, 45 minutes to JKIA International Airport and Wilson Airport. These last 3 times increase at peak traffic times.
If you need a taxi we can arrange one for you at reasonable rates.
We are close to the beautiful Karura Forest which offers hundreds of hectares of safe walking, running, biking. Small antelope and monkeys can be seen.
Getting Around
You can walk to Village Market (25 minutes), matatus (local public transport vans) are ubiquitous, or have your own vehicle or taxi (can be recommended).
We prefer that you don't smoke in your bedroom or in the living areas of our home, but outside on our 2 spacious verandahs is fine.

Cooking demonstration and tasting dinner at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington, DC.
Join me to celebrate the 25th "Silver" Anniversary of the Mexican Cultural Institute with a menu in homage to Mexico's Silver Route. In the colonial era, this route connected Mexico City to Zacatecas, the premier mining area, passing through Queretaro, Guanajuato, Aguascalientes and San Luis Potosí. The menu will take its inspiration from that era and route, so you will be able to sample both the flavors and the history.

- Mark Kiszla: Let statue of Joe Paterno stand as reminder of wins, and faults
Say you're the parent of a 10-year-old boy who, according to a grand jury report, was raped in the Penn State football shower by a former assistant coach. Or you know the young boy whom, the report says, the same coach performed oral sex on in the football building.
Then you turn on the TV on Saturday and see 100,000 people in Beaver Stadium cheering the man who could've stopped it.
Allowing disgraced coach Joe Paterno one last bow would've been the sleaziest on-field act in the history of college football. The Penn State board of trustees' decision Wednesday night to fire Paterno was the bare minimum it could've done.
Having Paterno remain the face of the university and community for one more day would've been a catastrophe. The nation would look upon a people lionizing a man who for more than nine years proved to be the biggest hypocrite in college sports.
Imagine being a parent of an abused child — or a former abused child yourself — and hearing "JOE-PA! JOE-PA!" ring out over your TV, or hiding in your home Wednesday while angry students rioted over the "audacity" of firing a record-setting coach over a child-abuse scandal.
That's after knowing that since March 2002, he remained friends and associated with the sickest public figure we know.
The fallout from this scandal is transcending society. From gold-plated offices of university presidents to the dark alleys of the sexually perverse, this has touched us all.
I'm not a father. I have never wanted to be a father. Yet reading the graphic grand jury report on former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky made me turn away from my laptop.
In 2002, the report says, then-grad assistant Mike McQueary informed Paterno of seeing Sandusky sexually assaulting a 10-year-old.
We all know this is what eventually cost Paterno his job. He informed his spineless athletic director, Tim Curley, about it and did nothing else. Nobody did.
Yet Sandusky, who had retired in 1999, continued to use university property to aid his youth foundation, The Second Mile, and frequently walked the halls of the football offices.
I have one overwhelming question that hasn't been answered: What did Paterno talk to this guy about? "Hey, Jerry, how about coming over and looking at this new Cover 2 zone we're working on?" "How's the wife?"
Or, worse yet, "How's your youth foundation going?"
We don't exactly know how McQueary described what he saw to Paterno. The report says Paterno's message to Curley was of Sandusky "fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy."
Don't the terms "fondling" and "young boy" send up red flags for most people? Apparently, it didn't with Paterno or Penn State officials, who felt such loyalty to a 32-year assistant who built Linebacker U. they didn't want to embarrass him by investigating further or calling the cops.
Or help the children he abused or prevent more from being abused.
The hypocrisy in college athletics always has disgusted me. From the hallow screams about graduation rates yet scheduling midweek football games, to the presidents railing about a playoff system, college athletics is only about money.
But this tops it all. Paterno always has been about morality. The life lessons he taught his players have been trumpeted since he took over as head coach in 1966.
Yet this church-going pillar of "doing the right thing" didn't do a darn thing when the most despicable immoral acts known to society were taking place down the hall from his office.
This is not going away, and Penn State knows it. That's why it must do more. McQueary will not coach in Saturday's game against Nebraska because of threats.
The threats won't stop, and he should never be allowed to coach there again.
However, he should be forced to answer the questions: Why didn't you break up the rape? Did you tell your daddy before Paterno? Why didn't you call the police? Ever?
Next, Penn State must establish a victim's fund. Nine have come forward. Considering that Sandusky established Second Mile in 1977, you know there are more. Any victim brave enough to step forward and can prove his abuse should have Penn State pay for counseling, emotional distress and a college education.
Penn State's football program netted $53.2 million last year. While the school is bankrupt morally, it is not bankrupt financially.
I always told critics who felt Paterno should go because his Nittany Lions are no longer national title contenders that he's earned the right to decide on how to leave.
He did.

Some day you or a collaborator may accidentally commit sensitive data, such as a password or SSH key, into a Git repository. Although you can remove the file from the latest commit with
git rm, the file will still exist in the repository's history. Fortunately, there are other tools that can entirely remove unwanted files from a repository's history. This article will explain how to use two of them:
git filter-branch and the BFG Repo-Cleaner.
Danger: Once you have pushed a commit to GitHub, you should consider any data it contains to be compromised. If you committed a password, change it! If you committed a key, generate a new one.
This article tells you how to make commits with sensitive data unreachable from any branches or tags in your GitHub repository. However, it's important to note that those commits may still be accessible in any clones or forks of your repository, directly via their SHA-1 hashes in cached views on GitHub, and through any pull requests that reference them. You can't do anything about existing clones or forks of your repository, but you can permanently remove all of your repository's cached views and pull requests on GitHub by contacting GitHub support.
Purging a file from your repository's history
Using filter-branch
To illustrate how
git filter-branch works, we'll show you how to remove the Rakefile from the history of the GitHub gem repository (and add it to
.gitignore to ensure that it is not accidentally re-committed).
Clone the GitHub gem repository.
git clone https://github.com/defunkt/github-gem.git Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/tekkub/tmp/github-gem/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 1301, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (769/769), done. remote: Total 1301 (delta 724), reused 910 (delta 522) Receiving objects: 100% (1301/1301), 164.39 KiB, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (724/724), done.
Navigate to the repository's working directory.
cd github-gem
git filter-branch, forcing (
--force) Git to process—but not check out (
--index-filter)—the entire history of every branch and tag (
--tag-name-filter cat -- --all), removing the specified file (
'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch Rakefile') and any empty commits generated as a result (
--prune-empty). Note that you need to specify the path to the file you want to remove, not just its filename.
Be careful! This will overwrite your existing tags.
git filter-branch --force --index-filter \ 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch Rakefile' \ --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all Rewrite 48dc599c80e20527ed902928085e7861e6b3cbe6 (266/266) Ref 'refs/heads/master' was rewritten
If the file used to exist at any other paths (because it was moved or renamed), you must run this command on those paths, as well.
Add the Rakefile to
.gitignoreto ensure that you don't accidentally commit it again.
echo "Rakefile" >> .gitignore git add .gitignore git commit -m "Add Rakefile to .gitignore" [master 051452f] Add Rakefile to .gitignore 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
Double-check that you've removed everything you wanted to from your repository's history, and that all of your branches are checked out.
Once you're happy with the state of your repository, force-push your local changes to overwrite your GitHub repository, as well as all the branches you've pushed up:
git push origin --force --all Counting objects: 1074, done. Delta compression using 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (677/677), done. Writing objects: 100% (1058/1058), 148.85 KiB, done. Total 1058 (delta 590), reused 602 (delta 378) To https://github.com/defunkt/github-gem.git + 48dc599...051452f master -> master (forced update)
In order to remove the sensitive file from your tagged releases, you'll also need to force-push against your Git tags:
git push origin --force --tags Counting objects: 321, done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (166/166), done. Writing objects: 100% (321/321), 331.74 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 321 (delta 124), reused 269 (delta 108) To https://github.com/defunkt/github-gem.git + 48dc599...051452f master -> master (forced update)
Tell your collaborators to rebase, not merge, any branches they created off of your old (tainted) repository history. One merge commit could reintroduce some or all of the tainted history that you just went to the trouble of purging.
After some time has passed and you're confident that
git filter-branchhad no unintended side effects, you can force all objects in your local repository to be dereferenced and garbage collected with the following commands (using Git 1.8.5 or newer):
git for-each-ref --format='delete %(refname)' refs/original | git update-ref --stdin git reflog expire --expire=now --all git gc --prune=now Counting objects: 2437, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (1378/1378), done. Writing objects: 100% (2437/2437), done. Total 2437 (delta 1461), reused 1802 (delta 1048)
Note that you can also achieve this by pushing your filtered history to a new or empty repository and then making a fresh clone from GitHub.
Using the BFG
The BFG Repo-Cleaner is a faster, simpler alternative to
git filter-branch for removing unwanted data. For example, to remove any file named 'Rakefile' (and leave your latest commit untouched), run:
bfg --delete-files Rakefile
To replace all text listed in
passwords.txt wherever it can be found in your repository's history, run:
bfg --replace-text passwords.txt
See the BFG Repo-Cleaner's documentation for full usage and download instructions.
Avoiding accidental commits in the future
There are a few simple tricks to avoid committing things you don't want committed:
- Use a visual program like GitHub Desktop or gitk to commit changes. Visual programs generally make it easier to see exactly which files will be added, deleted, and modified with each commit.
- Avoid the catch-all commands
git add .and
git commit -aon the command line—use
git add filenameand
git rm filenameto individually stage files, instead.
- Use
git add --interactiveto individually review and stage changes within each file.
- Use
git diff --cachedto review the changes that you have staged for commit. This is the exact diff that
git commitwill produce as long as you don't use the

you do very fine work, my compliments
Incredible textures and geometry, and very serene dawn atmosphere. I also love the clearly defined lines on cockpit and fuel tank under the wing, it gives a mild cartoon effect. But IMHO the vignette effect is too strong and distracts the viewer from the model.
Wonderful job. Love the animated pilot that is actually doing something other than glaring out the front of the canopy.
WOW! This looks REALLY great!
there is only one wing?
Love It!
Very nice! I like how well you texture the models, brilliant lighting as well, keep it up
Oh finally!
Fantastic, really like the metal material, some wonderful reflections in there, would like to know more about it, waiting for your mail! . Really beautiful rendering, your work is always top notch!!
Would love to see this against a Sabre or a Shooting Star.
Excellent work!
Very nicely done, I especially like the way the paint is chipped and faded on the numbers.
Great render, lovely!
Sorry you felt the need to dumb-down your description.
Mig alley.
To answer Pupkim question: its the antennae or communication radio line.
This is really awesome job!
Why those jets, like the MiG and the Zero have that string attachteched to the tail?
I'd buy this kit based on box art alone!
Fantastic!! I love this plane
great angle showing off it's wings and fins
awsome work congrats
The F-86 nemesis. Nicely done.
That is a wonderful piece of work, just stunning! o_o

CROSSVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Crossville Police said Franklin Moser broke into the Arches building on Main Street Wednesday morning.
Officers said Moser smashed through several doors and ransacked offices. They said he got away with about $1700, a gun and various electronics.
An observant man saw Moser going into the building - and tipped police off.
"He was able to give us a tag number and upon following up on that, we were able to find the suspect and most of the property that was taken from the businesses," said Detective Danny Harris with the Crossville Police Department.
"He broke through our window and we noticed that the filing cabinet was broken into and we were missing about 270 bucks in petty cash," said Matt Clyde, who works for Rengo Design in the Arches building.
Right now, Moser is charged with felon in possession of a weapon. Police said other charges are likely - the case is heading to a grand jury.
