Hey monicaisobel.
Can you explain what these P and S waves are? How are these waves sent and how are they received (also which ones are sent and which ones are received back)?
I've been assigned a task to find the epicenter of an earthquake:
"3 of the Australian government seismic measurements stations have reported the following data -
Difference between arrival times in seconds (S and P waves*)
Gold Coast - 97.8
Townsville - 71.1
Mt Isa - 54.5
*You may assume that the speed of a P-Wave is 7.5km/s & the speed of an S-Wave is 4.5km/s"
It then gives a suggested method to be followed:
- Find distance from each 3 place to the epicente
- Build diagram that uses longitude and latitude as its co-ordinate system
- Define any further variables
- Develop vector relationships between each of the cities and the epicenter of the earthquake and use these to find the epicentre
- Generalise model for any 3 seismology centres and arrival times
OKAY so I'm kind of confused about how I'm supposed to find the epicentre and also how I am supposed to incorporate vectors and latitude/longitude into the solution
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Without a Fighting Chance – The Broken Captaincy of Jameer Nelson
The following is a guest post for MBO written by Preston Raulerson:
A hundred thousand words have been written of Dwight Howard, and the same of Otis Smith, Stan Van Gundy, and the Magic's ownership. An equal amount has been burned between the contracts (and validity of their existence, even) of Hedo Turkoglu, Chris Duhon, and Jason Richardson. All of this is as it should be: the Orlando Magic organization sits at a dangerous intersection between relevance and risk, with the disoriented ego of their co-captain directing traffic.
Co-captain. There are two captains for the Magic. One is a 2004 first round draft pick that's played his entire career with the Magic, and so is the other. Jameer Nelson has been a foundational cog for everything Dwight and the Magic have accomplished these last 7 years. This is the All-Rookie Team Jameer Nelson, the All-Star Jameer Nelson. The Naismith Player of the Year Jameer Nelson. The Wooden, The Oscar Robertson, The Rupp Trophy Jameer Nelson.
This is also the Broken Jameer Nelson. The Wronged, the Rejected, the Unconsidered Jameer Nelson.
Often in sports, we have a few categories of individuals and their plights that we can generalize into. LeBron is used as the example (fairly or not) of a player whose talent and ability have never seriously been questioned. Shaq fits in there too, along with hoards of others who ooze with raw talent, ability, and size. There are those whose talent and ability are slightly less elite, but that have a chiseled mental function that they've used to create a more complex but just as undeniable skill set (Ray Allen and his shot, Steve Nash and his passing, Tim Duncan and his footwork). There are other stereotypes, handfuls of them, that can be used to try and generalize what Dwyane Wade has, what Paul Pierce has gone through, and the peculiarities of Larry Bird's success.
Oh, but The Runt.
The Runt transcends basketball. The Runt is familiar to each of us, and at every level of competition we've experienced. The player who is identified by his or her size, but who is defined by their fight to eclipse it. Those rarest of athletes whose success at each level is not through their natural physical gifts, but in spite of them. Think about them now, the ones that you surely know and the impression they left on you. Each of them have played the subject in a sentence that mentioned "just a few more inches", or "a little more bulk", and of course those comments that wished for a bit greater natural speed, innate quickness. Those players where the premature terminations of their careers came off the decisions of coaches and recruiters. All of them fight, and all of them seem to win those games they play…and all of them seem to be ended not by the games they lose, but by the ones they aren't invited to.
Jameer Nelson, the Runt. His path was not a gilded road to follow, but one that had to be paved with advocates, one that required a concrete foundation that only his play could make, mix, and pour. From high school, to St. Joseph's, and then to Orlando, I have zero concern for anyone's opportunity to find a champion of Jameer Nelson. I'd go as far as to say every coach, nearly every teammate, would volunteer to be counted in those numbers. 'Nearly' indeed.
Place yourself into this current situation for the Orlando Magic, and both of their co-captains. The foundation for so many of the rumors and demands from Dwight is in the current inadequacies of the Magic. Sure, the market is smaller than NYC and LA, and the roster doesn't have another 'max' player, another perennial superstar. But the subtext is more important, and more painful. It is there in that subtext of Dwight's player wish list of Deron, Paul, Monta that you understand how deep the slice of his desires has hurt that Runt.
Because Dwight Howard, above all people, knows the character of Jameer Nelson. Outside of ownership, Jameer and Dwight have the longest tenure of any Magic resource, on and off the court. The GM has changed, the team president has changed, the coaches have changed. No teammates remain from the 2004 team. They've won and lost together, have grown together, and have called each other best friends. They have spent more than half of their post-pubescent lives together. Use this time to relate this to your own life: do you have someone that you've worked/traveled/lived for more than 7 years if your life? Chances are, if you do, it's either a spouse, a sibling, a parent, or a child. Understand that we are talking about a level of interaction that is rarely found outside of family. Family.
So when Dwight, through others, says that the Magic need to acquire any number of star point guards to progress and achieve his goals, the message is much more than outlining Otis's options. Dwight is saying that, after 7 years of weighing and measuring, Jameer has been found wanting. It is the Runt's effort-paved road developing a sinkhole…a brother calling his brother inadequate. Granted, it is basketball, and at the end if the day we as observers see well-paid men playing a game.
But for Jameer? This is his life's work, and his identity, shattered by it's closest observer. Dwight might not be the greatest personnel evaluator in the world (as evident by his pining for Big Baby, Stephen Jackson, and Anthony Morrow as ideal 4-3-2 additions), but certainly is the one with the most information. At season start, Jameer's sub-par play was noticeable. The offensive efficiency and fluidity has cracked again and again, and the Boston game showed just how fragile his hold is. Improvement has not arrived, and disappointment, frustration have both renewed their lease within the Magic locker room to enjoy the unravelling. Lost in this all, until Otis mentioned it a few days ago, was just how shallow our perspective has been around the personal dynamics between the players.
We talk all the time about the relationship of confidence to performance for athletes-how has this been so undersold? Careers have been made on psychologically analyzing Tiger Woods' swing pre/post his Thanksgiving "drive". For Jameer Nelson, he is asked to pass and screen with the source of his broken confidence. Co-captains.
We need to revisit that: the leaders of the team, and nearly the longest tenured Magic employees, are destroying each other. Not Hedo's contract, nor Otis Smith's incompetence, nor Big Baby's offensive limitations are to blame for this disfunction. It is foundational, if only because the two of them make up the deepest basketball roots of the organization. How do you fix that without removing one of them? How do you reconcile something so core to team play, to teamwork? In a Disney movie, Jameer would overcome, and Dwight would reinvest his faith in him (and Justin Beiber would be the assistant coach to come up with the championship-winning play).
Sadly, proximity to Disney doesn't make this a movie, and this will play out just as so many other broken teams have. They will deconstruct the Magic, moving one or both of Jameer and Dwight, and hopefully sooner than later. This is a torturous situation for Jameer, and a trade would be more of a reprieve than disruption for him. Free him, give him a chance to recapture a sliver of confidence and handle with teammates than can appreciate it. More than anything he needs someone to say 'show me what you can do for me', instead of 'let me remind you who I want more than you'.
For those Magic fans distraught in potentially losing both cornerstones of the team as they know it, two things to understand. First, there is no positive end in having either someone against his will (in Dwight), nor someone suffering through his environment (in Jameer).
But secondly, do you have joy with this dynamic? Is there something that you are gaining by observing and rooting for it? The team led by these captains is already lost, certainly in spirit and on the way to being lost in performance too.
Dwight said after the New Orleans loss that they are a team of professional athletes, paid to perform, and there's no excuse because of that. When the last leader left standing is calling out to his team with the rallying cry 'remember that you're paid', you can know he expects nothing else to be invested.
This shouldn't be about Dwight Howard's poor leadership though, because we all recognize that he is an immature leader (this is not a revelation of any sort). Granted, he has improved with age and experience, but his leadership comes through his play on the court, not in his motivation of men. But that is exactly why he is a co-captain, so that he doesn't have to fail under that burden of effective motivation and leadership. So that he has someone else to deliver a better rallying cry than 'paychecks'.
I wish I could end this with: "Thank God for that co-captain. Where would the Magic be without him?" Instead, we end with the answer to just that question.
Where would we be? Right here. Exactly right here.

Crash brings down power lines along Highway 2 at Rambo Road
Published On: Dec 28 2012 09:21:16 AM PST Updated On: Dec 28 2012 10:18:49 AM PST
Highway 2 at Rambo Road was closed in both directions for several hours Friday morning due to downed power lines.
A car hit a power pole at around 7 a.m., shearing the pole off and sending power lines down across the road.
The road was closed while crews worked to remove those power lines.
At 9 a.m. the Washington State Patrol reported that one westbound lane remained blocked and the power company was on the scene making repairs.

Description: The CPC1822 is a monolithic photovoltaic string of solar cells. When operating in sunlight or a bright artificial light environment the optical energy will activate the cell array and generate a voltage at the output. The solar cells are capable of generating a floating source voltage and current sufficient to drive and power CMOS ICs, logic gates and/or provide "trickle charge" for power applications.
Uh, yeah…. For one, the plots don't show the 50 uA = I_sc. Take a look at that datasheet again and perform even conservative estimates for max power output and you'll see that it claims better results than a perfectly efficient solar cell of 1cm2 area in one sun (1kW/m2 * 1m/(100cm/m100cm/m) = 0.1mW). A rough estimate of this cell with conservative correlations for maxPower is: 0.75V_oc * 0.8*I_sc = 0.12mW. Note that this cell is smaller than 1cm2.
I then checked short circuit current with my most accurate meter which has resolution of +- 5 uA and the shorted output didn't even register. Using a light estimated at about 100,000 lux, I saw about 200 uA. This is not a precise experiment (especially without a known light intensity), but provides a rough idea of the reality that this cell is NOT what the datasheet claims. Is there or is there not a special place in hell for datasheet fraud?
I might have more data later if I use these.
People – you need to read the datasheet more closely. These DO NOT produce 50uA at 4V. 50uA is the SHORT CIRCUIT current. At that current the voltage would be in the millivolts. In practice, you'd probably get a few microamps out of them. However, use one of these to charge a supercap and you might be able to run a super-low-power microcontroller for a few ms every couple of minutes. Would be very cool to see what kind of limits you could push with this thing.
I think the only real "work" a person is going to get out of this solar cell is enough power to drive a MOSFET, maybe a small 4000-series chip, maybe a PIC or AVR running on a 32Khz crystal. That's about it.
Trickle charge a small battery? Even the smallest LiPo battery sold here, at 20mAh, in a perfect world, with perfect physics, with perfect light, with zero losses in the wiring, with a perfect battery, would take an absolute bare minimum of 400 hours (16 2/3 days) in continuous bright light to charge it up completely (ignoring all the complicated math that goes with charging and discharging).
I think I'll go buy a Shamwow!
You are correct, in every way. People should really look over the datasheet and realize you can't just plop this in and drive a circuit with it. It has its uses for sure, but isn't magic.
Let me know how the shamwow treats ya. ;-)
I was thinking about packing several of these on a board, focusing a lens in front of them and polling them to make really crude pictures that I could process with a microcontroller.
People aren't reading the datasheet correctly.
Open circuit maximum voltage output = 4v
Open circuit means zero current flow. Put a load on it and the voltage will drop off dramatically. If you've got maximum voltage, but can't support any current flow, you can't do any work.
Short circuit maximum current output = 50 uA
Again, short circuit means maximum current flow with little or no voltage behind it (hence the term short circuit). If you've got maximum current flow, but no voltage behind it, can't do any work.
What this datasheet doesn't have is a voltage over current graph, which will show the 'knee' of the curve, which would be the optimal region to operate this solar cell.
Ya can't have an open circuit and a short circuit at the same time.
Also, note in the description in the datasheet:
The CPC1822 is a monolithic photovoltaic string of solar cells with switching circuitry. When operating in sunlight or a bright artificial light environment the optical energy will activate the cell array and generate a voltage at the output. The solar cells are capable of generating a floating source voltage and current sufficient to drive and power CMOS ICs, logic gates and/or provide ?trickle charge? for battery applications.
does 2 of them have enough juice to charge a phone
Does it have enough power to charge a phone?!?!
LOL, you're joking, right?
Iam making a watch and with a 3.3v ardoino pro mini do u think it would be resonable to add one of these to slowly charge the battery or at least keep it charged for longer?
You could use these micro solar cells as active sensors. Since they generate their own power they would not have to be powered off the controller. I fly quad rotor RC models with lighting on them for show. During the day one of these on a load switch would keep the lights off. In the absence of ambient light the lights would be switched on. Seeing as electric RC models run on batteries, having something that doesn't draw off current would be a plus. There's a board on here somewhere that has opto isolators that gate some mosfet switches. One of these could drive the led in the opto isolator. Hmmm
These would be cool for projects such as heliostats, where you want to track maximum power. You could use a grid of them (say 5) at slightly different angles to work out the angle that is perpendicular to the suns rays…
This minature solar cell worked well for driving a couple of mosfet logic level gates, using only a hi-brightness red led. You don't get much extra power, just enough voltage across a 1 Meg resistor to operate the gate. Previously, i tried the old "red led as a voltage generator" idea, but while that got 2.1 volts in sunshine, it wasn't enough to activate the mosfet with only another red led as light source.
The application note states that it requires a MOSFET for it to work in a recharging circuit. Can anyone (esp Sparkfun) help or link me to a source for this MOSFET or any alternatives as diodes will be too costly a waste of power, according to the app note. Thanks!!!
I'm not fully sure what type of charging you want to do but this site used one of these, a 0.33F supercap and and a diode for reverse voltage protection to charge the supercap to 3.9V with a a fair mA output.
Can I use this to charge a 3.7v coin cell?
My guess would be that the drop from 4v open will result in a voltage that is too low for charging? Then again I could use several of them in series and in parallel to boost voltage and current?
Yes they could, however the sheer number needed in parallel to charge that battery would be very impratical.
can these be tied to gether to mak eup to a 12 or 18v feed?
Theoretically, if tied in series the would supply 12 or 18V, at 50uA, to use these for any practical purposes you would need to use hundreds in parallel to get even a few mA's.
It may not "trickle charge" a battery, but it will do something analogous with many microcontrollers. For example, the MSP430G2231 (one of two microcontrollers in the $4.30 TI Launchpad Kit) draws email@example.com in Active Mode at 1 Mhz, but only 0.5uA in standby. In some monitoring applications, the microcontroller is mostly in standby, but wakes up every second, minute or hour to check a measurement, then goes back to sleep, resulting in a very low average consumption. One of these, charging an ultracap 8 hrs a day might maintain sufficient charge to run the uC as well as sufficient surplus to trigger an alarm signal if the monitored condition goes out of bounds. I've also been working with the Linear Technologies LTC3108, to turn low power sources into usable ones.
Is the datasheet correct in indicating that the internal "diodes" are aligned with the conventional current flow, not against it? If so, wouldn't it be pretty difficult to use these to "trickle charge" a battery?
("Trickle charge" always seems to be in quotes, so I'm wondering if it can really trickle charge anything, or if those words imply something else, like some sort of "simulated" trickle charge.)
It depends, a "battery" would entitle many, many days of charging in full sun for a fair charge, a super capacitor could charge in a few hours.
4v 50Ua so how many to run an led under room lighting? also maybe use a capacitor and get at least a blink out of an led?
Hooked up in parallel, 200 of these in perfect conditions could run a very little, low power Led, with a capacitor maybe a few hours of sun for a couple of minutes at a time, these are not designed for -all things being relative- high current applications.
No this will not power a robot but if it produces 50ua in sunlight at 4V that is enough to charge a supercap that can then run some low power micros like the MSP430 from ti or the PIC16F1827.
1 supercap
1 cpc1822
They all can fit on a 1 inch square pc board and you have a working sun powered micro.
For the price, you could always string together 10 or 20 of these at varying angles :P
Combined with a 0.33F supercap, you can get a full charge (3.9v) in one day. http://dorkbotpdx.org/blog/laen/an_itty_bitty_power_provider
With that power, you can run a 10mA LED for 1 minute. Or power an ATtiny at 32KHz in Idle 24/7 and wake up to take measurements several times a day.
Yes, you need to be very careful about power saving modes and leakage.
No, it will not charge your LiPo minty-boost.
Thats the link i was looking for. I think I'll be ordering a board or 3 on the next panel over there.
I've seen these used with a super cap to drive an underclocked pic for a couple mins a day. May be useful in a simple outdoor logging application. Something like logging soil moisture or daily sunlight measurements.
There is no switcher, this is a raw solar cell which is effectively a stack of diodes. It will output a voltage relative to the amount of light. Noon-day summer sun I got about 4.2 volts open circuit. Indoors at 5pm indirect light 2 volts. Night indoor lighting 0.4 volts.
Hi gpeek,
You are correct and the datasheet is incorrect. There is NOT "switching circuitry", as the datasheet puts it, within these solar cells. I will be sure to update the doc when the new one becomes available.
Thanks for catching that!
Why would you need this? Too little current… and even if you boost the current, will you have enough voltage to drive anything?
These are primarily used alone as trickle chargers for batteries, see app note for reference.
So am I correct in thinking that this will give about 4V or nothing. When the light intensity reaches a threshold it'll start outputting 4V but it will stay at zero for any light below that threshold? Is this the "switching circuitry" mentioned?
Yes, that is correct. For you to get close to the 50uA spec at 4V, you will need to be in view of sunlight or a really intense lamp. The solar cell will not trigger to 4V with ordinary room light.
I'm wondering the same thing. At first I tought these devices had a step up switching converter that boosts the output voltage to around 4V. But I cant determine that for sure from the datasheet. They do look like pretty cool devices. They could be mounted on the PCB using standard pick-and-place.
The price per amp seems pretty high though, and it might be tough finding an application for them with low enough current requirements. Personally I'm hoping Sparkfun starts stocking something like these:
They are still relativly small cells but output 10's of milliamps (rather than microamps).
I am assuming they are using some kind of switcher as well to maintain the 4V.
Also, thanks for the link! I will do some investigating to see if we can get our hands on something similar.
4 volts from this? I bet it's crazy low current but still, very interesting.
Yeah, we have yet to test that figure. The datasheet specs 50uA in full sun I believe. But still cool!
Based on 1 ratings:
0 of 3 found this helpful:
They look awesome, ill gives specs later… spark fun, plz change my feedback to 5 star, I cant.
Just checked… with a reading light like luminosity intensity, it gives 4.2 V and 2uA :(, but I think its would be better with sun light

Prep Wrapup: Riordan baseball stuns Mitty in extra-inning thriller
Prep Wrapup is our new feature where we will hopefully provide a broad overview of the previous day's action. Coaches, to contribute to the Prep Wrapup, please send scores and details the night of the game/event to email@example.com or call our scores line at (415) 251-0918.
Baseball: Riordan 6, Mitty 5 (8 innings)
At first, it looked like so many other Riordan baseball games in recent history.
The Crusaders (8-5, 2-3) trailed 5-0 after the fourth inning against visiting Mitty (4-6, 1-4), but this year is different for the City West Catholic Athletic League teams.
Riordan scored six unanswered runs to end the game, capped by a bases-loaded, two-out hit-by-pitch by Eduardo Santos that drove in the game-winning run. Matt Craig walked, Chris Davis reached base on an error and Nick Hovland singled to load the bases in the eighth.
The Crusaders also trailed 5-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh, but sent the game to extra innings on a bases-loaded walk from Chris Trigueiro and a two-RBI single from Anthony Ramirez.
Riordan senior pitcher Jacob Blea pitched all eight innings to collect the win and only allowed two earned runs off eight Mitty hits.
Baseball: Washington 8, Denver Christian 5
The Eagles (10-8) went 2-1 in the Coach Bob Invitational in Phoenix, Ariz. and were the runner up in the A Division of the tournament.
Junior Chris Hau and senior Avery Velasco both had two hits against the Crusaders (5-4) and Hau was named to the all-tournament team, mostly for his pitching performance. He collected a win and a save in the tournament.
Girls Soccer: Jewish Community 2, Waldorf 0
Both of the Wolves' (2-1) goals came from sophomore Sophia Gluck and were assisted by senior Sophie Navarro.

Detection of point mutations on 23S rRNA of Helicobacter pylori and resistance to clarithromycin by PCR-RFLP in Spain
Abstract number: P1865
Agudo S., Alarcón T., Pérez-Pérez G., López-Brea M.
Objective: The identification and characterization of clarithromycin resistant Helicobacter pylori strains is a long and expensive process that requires culture and isolation of H. pylori from gastric biopsies. The purpose of the present study was to identify H. pylori strains resistant to clarithromycin and determine the most common point mutation present in the 23S rRNA gene using a PCR-RFLP technique.
Methods: Gastric biopsies were obtained by endoscopy from paediatric patients with gastric symptoms. H. pylori was cultured according to standard microbiological procedures and clarithromycin resistance determined by E-test. DNA extraction was performed by NucliSens platform with the NucliSens magnetic extraction reagents (bioMérieux) according to manufacturers instructions. Clarithromycin resistant and sensitive strains were determined by PCR and DNA sequencing for mutations in 23S rRNA gene. Restriction fragment length polymorphism was performed using BsaI enzyme to detect restriction sites that correspond to the mutation.
Results: We found 42 out of 118 (35.6%) strains resistant to clarithromycin by E-test. E-test results were confirmed for the presence of point mutation in 34 (88.1%) of these strains. There were 8 H. pylori strains resistant to clarithormycin by E-test but without any point mutation in the 23 rRNA gene. Mutation A2143G was found in 85.3% of the strains. Restriction enzyme analyses with BsaI was able to detect the presence of that mutation in 100% of the resistant cases.
Conclusion: PCR-RFLP is an usefull method to detect clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori infection in countries with a high prevalence as Spain. Only A2143G mutation could be detected with this assay, but it is the most prevalent in Spain as well as in the other countries. It may be useful to apply this methodology before choosing regimens of H. pylori eradication.

Parent well-being is affected by their child's oncology treatment regimen and associated caregiving demand. Parental caregiving demands and well-being were evaluated in 161 parents from 47 sites whose child was randomized to receive either a 4-hour (outpatient) or 24-hour (inpatient) methotrexate infusion during consolidation treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A majority of patients randomized to the 4-hour infusion (66.3%) received the infusion as an inpatient. The most frequently reported reasons for this were lack of an adequate outpatient facility (53.6%) and physician preference (25.0%). There were no differences between caregiving demand and well-being total scores by either randomized or actual infusion location with one exception: well-being scale fatigue scores were significantly greater (P=0.001) for parents whose child received the outpatient infusion. Mean total well-being scores for both the 24-hour arm (µ=42.6; SD 16.2) and the 4-hour arm (µ=40.6; SD 14.1) were elevated compared to healthy control populations. Additional research is needed to characterize impact of treatment setting on parental caregiving demand and well-being during their child's treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Investigators examining impact of treatment location in randomized clinical trials need to control for institutional variability in outpatient care delivery resources.

|National Science Foundation toolkit highlights impact of NSF investments Toolkit includes new video on merit review, infographics and directorate brochures
Today the National Science Foundation (NSF) released a robust toolkit that includes new videos, infographics, fact sheets and brochures that describe NSF investments in fundamental research and how they contribute to the nation's science and engineering enterprise.
"NSF's toolkit offers a range of information about the vital work of the Foundation in a compelling way using modern communications methods," said NSF's Office of Legislative and Public Affairs Director Judith Gan. "We encourage the NSF community and the general public to explore the materials we're releasing today to learn more about how the agency helps our nation remain at the competitive forefront of discovery and innovation."
Part of the toolkit package is an animated, NSF-produced video describing the agency's rigorous merit review process. The agency also developed infographics called, "Data by Design: Snapshot of NSF's Programs, Processes, Funding & Impact." These colorful charts showcase the Foundation's role in building tomorrow's workforce, driving innovation, influencing national and international discoveries, and facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations.
In addition, NSF developed brochures that highlight each directorate's contributions to pushing the frontiers of science, engineering and education. These contributions include the fundamental research that led to self-driving cars, the artificial retina, modeling seismic waves, accuracy of GPS devices, real-time emergency information to emergency workers and residents, unraveling cancer, rescue robots, building a diverse STEM workforce, and more.
For more than 60 years, NSF has supported fundamental researchers who devote time, inspiration and hard work to unraveling mysteries, solving problems, spurring the economy and offering insights into our world. NSF's research directorates include biological sciences, computer and information sciences, education and human resources, engineering, geosciences, mathematical and physical sciences, and social, behavioral and economic sciences.

Borderlands is the game that keeps on giving, and The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is no exception. In fact, Armory is the best DLC to date, and possibly better than the core game itself. How can it be so good? The writing, strategy, missions and characters are unmatched by anything Gearbox has released prior. Add on the crazy amounts of XP you'll get, plus the treasure trove of weapons and mods Armory has to offer and you'll end up feeling like the baddest thing in the wastelands…until you meet Crawmerax.
A quick note for those about to load up the new content: Armory doesn't scale to your character's level, so players middling about in the 40's have the problem of being overpowered (on the first playthrough) or cannon fodder (on the second playthrough). Even starting out on playthrough two at level 50, you'll want to recruit some friends to help; some of the bosses cap out at level 64, so even when you reach 61, the new level cap, you'll be too underpowered to fight it out alone.
Now that you (ideally) have your party together, Armory furthers the story of the corporate entity Atlas and its operations on Pandora. Off the bat you'll be introduced to Athena, the only other person on the planet with a bounty on her head larger than yours, as well as returning favorites Scooter and Mad Moxxi. Your ultimate goal is to storm the armory where Atlas' General Knoxx has a considerable weapons cache, all while eliminating the company's nasty throngs of soldiers and of course, going on random missions for pretty much anyone who asks. The notable character additions are Mr. Shank, (understandable) ex-husband to Mad Moxxi and the endearing General Knoxx, who everyone in my party decided they didn't really want to kill (no way around that), since he's just a man doing a job. From Shank waxing homoerotic about his fellow band of psychos or Knoxx's frustration with his incompetent superiors, the DLC provides you with the most engaging and hilarious characters in Borderlands to date. Scooter also taught me the phrase "smokin' Jesus cinnamon titties!" which is now engrained in my vocabulary for all time.
Strategy becomes another important improvement in Armory. Most enemies are resistant to some sort of attack so keeping a rotating arsenal of varied elemental weapons becomes key. I thought about strategy in Armory far more than I ever did in Borderlands proper. The enemies also become delightfully varied, the Crimson Lance soldiers all have different abilities and strategies, the long-legged Drifters terrorize the deserts and then there are loot midgets that hop out of chests, skags mounted with ferocious riders and ninjas. Yes, ninjas. You can never get bored on Pandora.
The real downside to Armory, and it's not a giant deal, is that like the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned DLC, there is no fast travel available. That means some extensive roadtrips from one side of the rather large map to the other which can be really frustrating when all you want to do is turn in a mission. On the plus side, the new vehicles are sweet. The Monster gives you homing missiles, the Racer provides speed and the Lancer transports four people at once, plus it boasts a turret, mines and bombs for support.
So, power level yourself up to 50, find some friends and start on The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, the indisputably best piece of contents released for Borderlands to date. My level 50 siren had plenty of work cut out for it on the race to level 61, so there's plenty on tap here for fans. If you pay attention to only one thing of late that involves a giant mech suit battle on a planet called Pandora…it should be this.

The surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect has told investigators that he and his brother discussed detonating the rest of their explosives in Times Square, senior law enforcement officials told NBC News on Thursday.
The surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, initially told investigators that they planned to go to New York to party after the Boston attack, the officials said. The New York police commissioner also gave this account Wednesday.
Under subsequent questioning, the officials said, Tsarnaev said that the brothers had discussed a follow-up attack on Times Square.
The officials cautioned that the idea was undeveloped. One senior official described the plan as "aspirational at most."

Every day, payday and car title lenders drain $23,951,459 out of the pockets of hard-working Americans with predatory lending practices. That's over $8.7 billion every year and that doesn't include predatory installment lending or capture every loan. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) started the process of rulemaking in March of 2015 - we can't wait anymore. We need a strong rule that puts a stop to the debt trap now. Tell the CFPB we can't wait any longer to stop predatory loans!
Annually, more than twelve million hard-working American men and women fall victim to the underhanded business practices of these predatory lenders. Loans average 300% APR or higher and more than half of borrowers must take out a new loan on the same day their previous loan was due. Click here to learn more about the debt trap.

NBC News Digital has signed up oil company Shell as the sponsor of its "Meet the Press" experience on the Zeebox second screen app. Zeebox, which launched in the U.S. late last year, will also use feature its new "SpotSynch" ad technology with the partnership. The tech will feature an interactive Shell add in the app, as a Shell ad appears on "Meet the Press."
Zeebox, of course, adds a layer of interactivity to live or taped TV programs, with features like trivia, behind the scenes photos and other interactive features. With the sponsorship, NBC's longest-running newscast will get the treatment.
"A primary mission of 'Meet the Press' is to educate and inform our viewers about the significant issues of the week," said Betsy Fischer, Senior Executive Producer of "Meet the Press" in a statement. "This app fits perfectly with that mission allowing us to engage directly with viewers and provide even more content, real time while they're watching the show on Sunday morning."
More information, below.
Sponsorship of second screen experience includes interactive surveys, integration with on-air and expanded content for "Meet the Press" audience
NEW YORK, NY—June 4, 2013—The NBC News Digital Group announced today it has teamed up with Shell for an exclusive sponsorship of the "Meet the Press" experience on zeebox—a free app that integrates "second screen" tools into the TV viewing experience. Launching July 1, 2013, this deal marks the first zeebox sponsorship of a NBC News property. The deal, which was brokered by global media agency MediaCom, includes a fully interactive second screen experience that will allow viewers in the zeebox app to participate in the show while they watch by answering topical survey questions, viewing behind-the-scenes photos and accessing additional content during the NBC program.
Viewers using the app will also be able to further immerse themselves in each episode with custom 'zeetags.' These live, contextual links present viewers with richer information about the topics discussed and the guests, the moment they appear in the show.
The zeebox experience will be further enhanced to include expanded content and social features so viewers can engage around the show topics either through their social networks or exclusively on the app using zeebox's proprietary chat and commenting capabilities. Since launching in December 2011, zeebox has been downloaded more than 5 million times.
"Meet the Press" on zeebox will also feature zeebox's proprietary new ad product 'SpotSynch.' SpotSynch presents viewers with synchronous Shell ads within the app at the same time they appear on TV. Viewers will be able to engage with the ad and the Shell brand message in a highly contextual way that never takes them out of the show experience itself.
As the longest running show on American television, "Meet the Press" is one of the most talked about programs on the web, according to Trendrr. The NBC broadcast is the only Sunday public affairs program that ranks in the top ten.
"A primary mission of 'Meet the Press' is to educate and inform our viewers about the significant issues of the week. This app fits perfectly with that mission allowing us to engage directly with viewers and provide even more content, real time while they're watching the show on Sunday morning," said Betsy Fischer, Senior Executive Producer of "Meet the Press." "Within the zeebox app, users can watch as NBC producers and correspondents live-tweet the show, view special photos and join in the 'Meet the Press' conversation unlike ever before."
"This sponsorship is a great example of how publishers like NBC News Digital Group are working with marketers to experiment and innovate around the second screen. Our research shows that synchronized ad exposure across multiple devices helps drive higher engagement metrics and increases the connection the consumer has with the brand." said Peter Naylor, EVP of Digital Media for NBC News Digital Group. "'Meet the Press' has a highly engaged audience on social media, and with this partnership, Shell will be able to reach this valuable audience in this new frontier."
Meanwhile, Shell's target consumers are embracing multi-screen behavior. By taking Shell's partnership with "Meet the Press" to the next screen, the company will be able to directly measure enhanced engagement with the brand on a new platform.

S.Korea - Many Gas Stations Going Out of Business
An increasing number of gas stations are shutting down in South Korea largely attributed to the prolonged economic slump and protracted high oil price trend.
According to the Korea Oil Station Association (KOSA) Monday, 88 gas stations closed in Korea between January and September this year. Only 76 gas stations closed during the same period a year earlier.
KOSA said of the 11,402 gas stations nationwide, 20 gas stations closed in Kyonggi Province, 14 in South Cholla Province, 10 in Seoul, nine in North Cholla Province, six South Kyongsang Province and a combined five in Pusan, Taegu, Taejon and North Chungchong Province.
The number of gas stations in Seoul reduced sharply from 886 at the end of 1996 to 739 at the end of last year and to 729 at the end of last September.
Meanwhile, KOSA said there are a total of 111 gas stations laying idle across the nation. The number of gas stations that suspended their businesses due to low profitability was the greatest in Kangwon Province with 21, trailed by North Chungchong Province with 20, South Cholla Province with 14, North Kyongsang Province with 14, Kyonggi Province with 11 and South Kyonggi Province with 10.
``The continued economic slowdown and high price trend of gasoline have significantly worsened profitability of local gas stations, leaving companies with no choice but to abandon the oil station business for their subsistence. The decrease in the number of gas stations in Seoul region is more striking because of the higher wage level and land prices,'' said a KOSA official.

Last year's Tea Partay viral was pretty successful. A day ago, a video was posted to youtube where the seeded the idea of east coast vs. west coast.
Today, the sequel has been posted with the West Side representin' with their Green Tea.
Shame it's not as good as last year's vid. But it does have a few ha moments.
I just stumbled onto this (warning derail) : Should Smirnoff be Advertising on YouTube?
For fifty years, the friendly corporations that serve you hard liquor voluntarily declined to create commercials for broadcast television, but then changed their minds in 1996. During that time, advertising for other mood-altering substances came and went — cigarette advertising was banned on television, while the ban on advertising pharmaceuticals was lifted here in the United States.
Now, I'm not calling for a repeal of the repeal of prohibition, but since YouTube and most other popular video sharing sites have taken the hard line on nipples, why isn't anyone asking the same question about the promotion of booze, pills and cigarettes?
That wasn't a very good follow-up ad. Also, youtube sucks.

Short, but sweet! It isn't an adjective commonly used to describe Fight of the Night candidates. In fact, the fights that are considered to be the best of the sport are typically lengthy affairs.
Griffin/Bonnar, Liddell/Silva and Shogun/Henderson all made their way to the scorecards, as did several other fights that immediately come to mind when thinking about outstanding MMA. However, that doesn't mean that quick bouts can't be thrilling engagements.
Here is a look at the five best one-round fights of 2012.

Low Carb - only 3g of carbs per serving Low Calorie - 20 calories per 4 oz serving No Cholesterol No Sugar Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Contains 10% Calcium Vegan Guilt-Free Tofu's main ingredient is the soybean. HOUSE FOODS uses only non-genetically engineered, soybeans grown in the United States. Because of its main components of soy protein and anti-oxidants known as isoflavones, soy, and ultimately Tofu, is a great source of healthy energy. Both of these high-quality, nutrient-dense compounds add greatly to a nutritious diet.These attributes, along with the ability to combine Tofu with many partners (including vegetables, fruit, nuts, meat, sauces, and spices), allow the resulting "super food" to be economical, appetizing, and one of the most important elements in today's new trend of super nutrition. Not only is versatile Tofu celebrated in the vegetarian world, but it is now rapidly becoming a staple to the rest of the population. Benefits Of TofuBecause of its soybean constituency, Tofu is a SUPER FOOD! As such, our Tofu products contain a high concentration of essential nutrients that can attribute to a healthy lifestyle.Tofu's most important nutrient is soy protein. Soy protein is the only plant-based protein that has all of the eight essential amino acids, thus making it a "Complete Protein." HOUSE FOODS Premium Tofu and HOUSE FOODS Organic Tofu are high in protein and low in calories, sodium, and carbohydrates, while containing no cholesterol and trans fat. Also, these products are gluten- and lactose-free.Adding to Tofu's list of important nutrients are calcium, iron, minerals, polyunsaturated fatty acid, and isoflavone, a type of phytoestrogen derived from plants. In addition, most of HOUSE FOODS' products are Kosher certified. Below are five of the many health benefits of soy:Heart HealthThe FDA states that consuming 25 grams of soy protein a day as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce your risk of heart disease.Animal proteins are high in saturated fat and cholesterol. Replace these unhealthy proteins with healthy soy protein. Because soy protein has a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acid, fiber, minerals, and low saturated fat content, this replacement may reduce the risk of heart disease. Women's HealthSoy has been shown to give women who are going through menopause a much needed break! According to several studies, isoflavone in soy can reduce the frequency of hot flashes and their severity. Also, the high amounts of iron found in soy protein are especially important for women of child-bearing age. Bone HealthSoy can help prevent osteoporosis by building healthy bones, and may also increase the density and quality of bones in menopausal women. In addition to calcium, soy also contains magnesium, which is especially important for athletes. Healthy WeightWhen incorporated into a lifestyle that has a well-balanced diet and routine exercise, soy has the ability to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Soy foods, such as Tofu, can replace foods in your diet that are high in calories and saturated fat, which can contribute to weight gain. To reduce your daily caloric intake, try tips found on our "Cooking Tips" page on how to use Tofu as a substitute for fatty, unhealthy foods!Another benefit of Tofu in a weight-loss plan is the feeling of fullness it provides. This satiety prevents over-eating. Turn to foods with soy when you need a quick snack. DiabetesDiabetes is all too common these days and soy foods can play an important role in keeping it under control. Soy protein, with the potential of decreasing harmful effects of kidney disease, which can occasionally result from diabetes, can help manage diabetes. Normalizing blood sugar levels is another feature of soy foods, since they have a low glycemic index. The HistoryTofu is the perfect example of the "old being new" again - and now, better than ever. Tofu production is an ancient technique. Tofu was first made in China over 2000 years ago by individual families. Only within the past century has Tofu been made in modern factories. At HOUSE FOODS, we are proud that our state-of-the-art factories on both the East and West Coasts are able to manufacture Tofu in a combination of traditional and modern methods. Not only are all our Tofu products refrigerated to maintain our superior freshness, we use a special type of pasteurization in order for the Tofu to maintain this quality of freshness and purity. Frequently Asked Questions COOKING TOFUHow do I cook Tofu?There are many different ways to cook Tofu. The easiest way is to cut the Tofu into cubes and add it to your favorite soup. Also, you can add Tofu to your favorite stir-fried meals. How do I marinate Tofu?Unlike meat, which is usually tenderized by being marinated, Tofu starts out tender. However, marinating Tofu is a great way to give it flavor. First, cube or slice the Tofu to create more surface area for the marinade to soak in. The length of marinating time will depend on your taste and choice of marinade. For example, many sauces, such as soy sauce, can be absorbed within 15 to 30 minutes. Heating the marinade before pouring it over the Tofu is a trick to speed up marinating time. Firm and Extra Firm Tofu soak up a marinade the best. Be sure to store your Tofu in the refrigerator while it is marinating.Is it safe and healthy to eat Tofu straight from the container?Yes. House Premium Tofu is pasteurized during the manufacturing process and is both safe and healthy to eat straight from the container. Additional heating is not necessary for proper digestion or absorption of nutrients.I have noticed Tofu comes in several forms - how do I know which firmness to select?This is a very common question and the answer deserves repeating: House Premium Tofu comes in five levels of firmness depending on its water content. Soft Tofu is great for dips, salad dressings, sauces, shakes, and cheesecake. Medium Firm Tofu works well in casseroles, soups, salads, or when you are in doubt of the firmness you need. Use Firm and Extra Firm Tofu for crumbling, stir-frying, and deep-frying.STORING TOFUHow long can I keep the Tofu once it is opened?If the Tofu is within the code date, it will last approximately 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. However, the Tofu must be kept in an air tight container. Water should be added to the container in order for the Tofu to keep its moisture.How should I store unused Tofu?Keep the unused portion of Tofu in an airtight container. In order to keep it moist, it is strongly recommended that you keep the Tofu in water. Once the Tofu is opened, we suggest that it be consumed within 2 to 3 days. Our Tofu is pasteurized, somewhat like milk, so it might last shorter or longer depending on the condition and the code date of the Tofu.Can I put Tofu in the freezer?Tofu needs to be kept in the refrigerator in order to maintain its quality. However, if you would like the Tofu to adopt a chewy, meat-like texture, freezing is an option. Do not be surprised if the Tofu comes out of the freezer with a completely different texture! To use frozen Tofu, simply let it defrost and squeeze out any excess liquid. It is now ready to soak in a marinade or use as is. It makes a great substitute for meat in this form!Why is House Premium Tofu packed in water?Tofu packed in water is freshly-made Tofu because the water helps it maintain its bulk and form. Tofu sold this way has a fresher taste and better consistency than Tofu that has been packed without water in aseptic packaging.FRESHNESS CONCERNSThe water of the Tofu I bought is a little yellowish. Is it all right to eat?Tofu is made from soymilk. As time goes by, the coagulated soymilk dissolves into the water. This is why sometimes the water looks yellowish.The House Premium Tofu that I bought has expired, can I eat it?No. Just as you cannot drink expired milk for the sake of your health, you cannot consume expired Tofu. We do not assure the freshness of expired products.The Tofu I bought was spongy. Is it all right to eat?The texture of Tofu will take on a chewier, meat-like texture once it has been frozen. If the Tofu you purchased was spongy, it was most likely frozen at some point. We recommend that you ask the store to exchange the Tofu.The Tofu I bought was sour. Is it all right to eat it?No. Sour Tofu is an indication of a high level of microbes, just like milk. If the Tofu has not been refrigerated at the right temperature, it will spoil before the code date. Ask the store where you purchased the product for an exchange.DIETARY CONCERNSAre you using genetically engineered soybeans?No. All of the soybeans used at our company have been cultivated through traditional breeding methods and have not been genetically engineered using recombinant DNA technology.I'm convinced Tofu belongs in my diet, but how do I convince my kids?Start by gradually adding small amounts of Tofu to their favorite dishes, and/or camouflage Tofu by blending it into a smoothie, pudding or soup to make a creamed soup. I've been told to watch my cholesterol and fat intake; does Tofu fit into my diet?Tofu is an excellent plant-based protein source with virtually no cholesterol and less than one gram of fat per ounce. Not all fats are created equal. The majority of fat in Tofu is unsaturated, which is considered a "good fat" that does not harm blood vessels. Unlike the good fat in Tofu, animal protein contains cholesterol and a higher level of unhealthy saturated fat.What are Calcium Sulfate and Glucono Delta Lactone listed on House Premium Tofu labels? Are these substances used as preservatives?They are both coagulants and are not preservatives. Since Tofu is made from soymilk, it must be coagulated by using Calcium Sulfate and Gulcono Delta Lactone. Gulcono Delta Lactone is a coagulant made from corn syrup. House Premium Tofu is pasteurized by a unique double-cool pasteurizing method and does not contain any preservatives.What is Nigari?Nigari is a coagulant made from sea water extract. The main ingredient of Nigari is Magnesium Chloride.I heard that Tofu contains a lot of Isoflavones. What is an Isoflavone?Isoflavones, found in high concentrations in soybeans, are compounds that have been known to help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and breast cancer, as well as osteoporosis and post-menopausal symptoms.

The graph of:

Write the new equation of g(x) in the form :
Ive tried using the GDC to graph f(x) and then translating points by the vector, but was wondering if there is an algebraic way of doing it without using the GDC? Thanks appreciate it.

Hey Rodimus79.
Hint: Avg1 = Sum_Of_Scores/n = 74. Avg2 = (Sum_Of_Scores + 100)/(n+1) = 75. Eliminate the Sum_Of_Scores variable in one equation to get a function only in terms of n.
The average score of a class is 74.
After adding 1 more student with a score of 100, the average score becomes 75.
Find the no. of students in the class
(Answer = 26 - please solve by non-algebraic method - I have no idea how to explain by non-algebraic method)
Algebra method would be
74x + 100 = 75(x+1)
If by an algebraic method the problem authors meant a method that involves solving equations, then here is a non-algebraic method. If the new student's score were 74, the average score would not change. Instead, 26 extra points were distributed to all students, including the new one, to give each one extra point. Therefore, the new number of students is 26/1 = 26.

In May of 2012, President Ricardo Martinelli issued a Presidential Decree 343 declaring that citizens of 22 friendly nations could apply to become permanent residents in a fast track manner. This "fast tracked" visa has become to be known as Panama's friendly nations visa.
Since then, other Decrees have increased the number of friendly nations to 50 along with clarifying the requirements to apply.
The formal wording of this permanent Panama residency visa is for "citizens of friendly nations with professional and economic ties with the Republic of Panama".
List of 50 Friendly Nations for Panama Visa

Requirements of Friendly Nation Visa
The words "professional and economic ties with the Republic of Panama" means that citizens of these 50 countries must establish professional or economic relationship with Panama. This can be accomplished by starting a new business or purchasing an existing business or being hired to work for a Panama company.
An "Economic Activity" means the applicant owns either a Panama corporation or a Panama company (new or bought an existing business) which is doing business in Panama. Foreigners are prohibited from owning a Panama retail business.
Another option is to prove "Professional Activity". Meaning the applicant is employed by a professional Panama company, has a Panama work permit, and is registered with Panama's Social Security system. In addition, proof of income like the employment wages needs to be provided by the employer. Documents proving these activities must be submitted. Foreigners are prohibited from practicing certain professions such as: medical & veterinary doctors, attorneys, architects, and engineers.
Proof of Economic Solvency is another requirement. This can be met by having at least $5,000 USD (plus $2,000 for each dependant) deposited in a Panama bank account. Whether an applicant is solvent enough is not clearly defined leaving the matter up to the discretion of the immigration officials.
Dependants include the spouse and children up to the age of 25 if they are full time university students. The applicant must provide a written letter of responsibility regarding the dependants. Every son or daughter dependant over the age of 18 must provide an authenticated being single certificate from their respective country.
After the application is filed along with all required documents the immigration office will issue a one year temporary residency card (carnet) which will be replaced by a permanent residency card once the application is approved.
Once the application has been approved, the foreigner can apply for a Work Permit. Panama's president recently issued a Presidential Decree ordering Panama's Ministry of Labor to fast track acceptance of work permits for the 50 friendly nations citizens.
Current Panama Immigration Required Documents
Law 3 of 2008 under Article 28 requires the following documents from an applicant:
1. Application for Permanent Panama Residency with a Special Power of Attorney
authorizing a Panamanian attorney to act on behalf of the applicant who is duly
authenticated by a local notary with the proper government stamps.
2. Copy of the entire passport notarized by a Panama Notary.
3. Criminal history background check from the applicant's country of origin or the country where he has lived consistently for the two past years. The Panama immigration department requires the applicant to provide an authenticated criminal history report issued by a "federal", "central", or "national" police force or criminal investigation authority. The criminal history records that do not have an expiration date will be valid for 3 months from the date of issue for immigration purposes.
(a) If the applicant is providing a criminal background report from a country where he is not a citizen, but a resident, the applicant must provide the legal residency identification which must be authenticated or Apostilled.
(b) If the applicant has been residing in Panama for the past two consecutive
years (without leaving the country) the criminal background check must be prepared by the national police (DIJ).
4. Panama immigration will require the national criminal history report to be authenticated by a Panamanian Consul from the country that issued the document or by Apostille which is an internationally recognized government agency authentification of its issued documents by attaching certain seals to the document. Here is a list of Panama Consulates Worldwide.
5. Original medical examination report from a Panama medical doctor.
6. Two Certified Checks:
(a) $250 USD in favor of the National Treasury for immigration fee; and
(b) $800 USD in favor of Immigration for repatriation purposes (deportation).
IMPORTANT: Once immigration has issued a resolution whether it's an approval or denial of the application of residency the checks are non-refundable.
7. Personal Sworn Affidavit explaining the purpose for seeking Panama Permanent Residency and ability to support family and dependents. (This form will be supplied by Panama Offshore Legal Service's immigration attorney.)
In Addition, the recent Presidential Decrees require the following documents:
1. 3 Passport Size Photos;
2. A written Statement describing the economic or professional activities to be conducted by the applicant in Panama. These can be explained in the following manner:
(a) Economic Activity: Produce documentation that the applicant is a member of the Board of Directors or majority shareholder of a Panama Corporation
or is the owner of a Panama company. If the Panama Corporation or Panama Company is new provide proof of its franchise tax being paid and its commercial license. If the corporation or company is over one year old provide proof of its tax return, paz y salvo, or in good standing certificate. Further proof of bank accounts in the corporation or company's name along with any real property generating income it owns, and any activity generating income.
Note: The economic activity cannot be one reserved for Panamanian nationals such as a retail business.
(b) Professional Activity: A professional activity is a job with a local company. The applicant must provide proof of an employment contract, that the company is registered with Panama Social Security and the applicant has a social security card and work permit. There are several ways to obtain a Panama work permit including the allowable 10% foreign employees or the Marrakech Treaty. The professional activity cannot be one reserved only for Panama nationals such as an attorney, architect, engineer, medical or veterinarian doctor.
3. Proof of Solvency: In addition to the documents that demonstrate the applicant's economic or professional activity the applicant must also provide the following:
(a) Proof from a Panama bank that the applicant has at least $5,000 USD deposited plus $2,000 USD for each dependant.
(b) Proof of income such as employment salary with a letter from the employer
which includes applicant's social security number and work permit.
Note: Part (b) is vague which can be interpreted by Panama immigration at its discretion to verify the applicant's solvency.
4. Copy of Applicant's I.D.: From applicant's country of origin such as driver's license or government issued photo I.D. This is in addition to the passport to prove residency and citizenship. This document must be Apostilled or authenticated by a Panamanian consulate.
5. Dependants require a letter of responsibility from the primary applicant.
(a) Proof that the dependants are related either with a birth certificate or if it's a spouse, a marriage certificate.
(b) Dependants other than a spouse can apply up until the age of 25 if enrolled as full time university students or are disabled
(c) Dependants over the age of 18 must submit an affidavit that they are single which must be Apostilled or authenticated by a Panamanian consulate.

In April 2006, House Bill 1319 created the Marino Swim Central Adaptive Aquatics Certification. This bill requires certification of swimming instructors working with people with developmental disabilities and is imperative to the safety of these individuals.
The Foundation received funding from the State to develop and implement the instructor training program and produce the instructional video and program manual designed specifically to address the unique needs encountered by individuals with developmental disabilities in learning to swim.
The Foundation partnered with Broward County Parks and Recreation to host the instructional website and award certifications. The video, manual, and website were developed and completed in 2007.
Certifications are ongoing. For more information about certification, visit us at: https://www.nicklauschildrens.org/about-us/locations-and-directions/dan-marino-outpatient-center/swimming-instruction-and-water-safety-program/nicklaus-childrens-hospital-marino-adapted-aquatic.aspx
