Work and Energy
Unit 4
W = Fcosq Dx
Lesson 1 : Work Done by a Constant Force
When a force acts on an object while displacement occurs, the force has done work on the object.
The magnitude of work (W) is the product of the amount of the force applied along the direction of displacement and the magnitude of the displacement.
N . m = Joule (J)
+ Work
- Work
If the force has a component in the direction of the displacement.
If the force has a component in the opposite direction of the displacement.
Units of Work
Determining the Sign of Work
Rank the following situations in order of the work done by the force on the object, from most positive to most negative. [Displacement is to the right and of the same magnitude.]
Example 1
4.0 kg
5.0 m
m = 0.30
Find the work done by all forces as a 4.0 kg mass slides 5.0 m down a 30o incline where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.30.

Graphical Analysis of Work

W = Fcosq Dx
A . B = ABcosq
W = F .Dx
Work is a Scalar (Dot) Product
A particle moving in the xy plane undergoes a displacement Dx = (2.0 i + 3.0 j) m as a constant force F = (5.0 i + 2.0 j) N acts on the particle.
Example 3
a) Calculate the magnitudes of the displacement and the force.
b) Calculate the work done by force F.
W = SFxDx
Lesson 2 : Work Done by a Varying Force
lim S FxDx =
Dx 0
As Dx approaches 0,
A force acting on a particle varies with x, as shown above. Calculate the work done by the force as the particle moves from x = 0 to x = 6.0 m.
Example 1
The interplanetary probe shown above is attracted to the Sun by a force given by
1.3 x 1022
Example 2
This equation is in SI units, where x is the Sun-probe separation distance. Determine how much work is done by the Sun on the probe as the probe-Sun separation changes from 1.5 x 1011 m to 2.3 x 1011 m.

Generalized Work Done on Spring
Example 3
A common technique used to measure the spring constant (k) is shown above. The spring is hung vertically, and an object of mass m is attached to its lower end. Under the action of the "load" mg, the spring stretches a distance d from its equilibrium position.
a) If a spring is stretched 2.0 cm by a suspended mass of 0.55 kg, what is the spring constant of the spring ?
b) How much work is done by the spring as it stretches through this distance ?
c) Suppose the measurement is made on an elevator with an upward vertical acceleration a. Will the unaware experimenter arrive at the same value of the spring constant ?
Example 4
If it takes 4.00 J of work to stretch a Hooke's Law spring 10.0 cm from its unstressed length, determine the extra work required to stretch it an additional 10.0 cm.
Example 5
A light spring with spring constant 1200 N/m is hung from an elevated support. From its lower end a second light spring is hung, which has spring constant 1800 N/m. An object of mass 1.50 kg is hung at rest from the lower end of the second spring.
a) Find the total extension distance of the pair of springs.
b) Find the effective spring constant of the pair of springs as a system. We describe these springs as in series.
Example 6
A force F = (4xi + 3yj) N acts on an object as the object moves in the x-direction from the origin to x = 5.00 m.
Find the work W = F . dx done on the object by the force.

Work - Kinetic Energy Theorem
If work done on a system only changes its speed, the work done by the net force equals the change in KE of the system.
Example 1
A 6.0 kg block initially at rest is pulled to the right along a horizontal, frictionless surface by a constant horizontal force of 12 N. Find the speed of the block after it has moved 3.0 m.
Example 2
A man wishes to load a refrigerator onto a truck using a ramp. He claims that less work would be required to load the truck if the length L of the ramp were increased. Is his statement valid ?

Lesson 4 : Situations Involving Kinetic Friction
SFx = max
(SFx)Dx = (max)Dx
Dx = ½ (vi + vf) t
vf - vi
(SFx)Dx = m
½ (vi + vf) t
This is not work because Dx is displacement of a particle – the book is not a particle !
-fkDx = DKE
(SFx)Dx = ½ mvf2 – ½ mvi2
(SFx)Dx = -fkDx = ½ mvf2 – ½ mvi2 = DKE
DKE = -fkd + SWother forces
d = length of any path followed
-fkd = DKE
KEf = KEi - fkd + SWother forces

a) Find the speed of the block after it has moved 3.0 m if the surfaces in contact have a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.15.
b) Suppose the force F is applied at and angle q as shown below. At what angle should the force be applied to achieve the largest possible speed after the block has moved 3.0 m to the right ?
DEint = fkd
Change in Internal Energy due to Friction
The result of a friction force is to transform KE into internal energy, and the increase in internal energy is equal is equal to the decrease in KE.
DEsystem = DKE + DEint = 0
-fkd + DEint = 0
Example 2
A 40.0 kg box initially at rest is pushed 5.00 m along a rough, horizontal floor with a constant applied horizontal force of 130 N. If the coefficient of friction between box and floor is 0.300, find
a) the work done by the applied force
b) the increase in internal energy in the box-floor system due to friction

The energy transferred in 1 h at the constant rate of 1kW = 1000 J/s.
* Note that a kWh is a unit of energy, not power.
An elevator car has a mass of 1600 kg and is carrying passengers having a combined mass of 200 kg. A constant friction force of 4000 N retards its motion upward, as shown above.

b) What power must the motor deliver at the instant the speed of the elevator is v if the motor is designed to provide the elevator car with an upward acceleration of 1.00 m/s2 ?

Lesson 6 : Potential Energy
Work done on system by external agent in lifting book
When book is at yb, the energy of the system has potential to become KE.
When lifting at constant velocity,
W = (Fapp) .Dx = (mgj) . [(yb – ya)j] = mgyb - mgya
Ug = mgy
W = DUg
Gravitational Potential Energy
Units for Ug are Joules (J). Like work and KE, Ug is a scalar quantity.
Example 1
A bowling ball held by a careless bowler slips from the bowler's hands and drops on the bowler's toe. Choosing floor level as the y = 0 point of your coordinate system, estimate the change in gravitational PE of the ball-Earth system as the ball falls. Repeat the calculation, using the top of the bowler's head as the origin of coordinates.
Example 2
A 400 N child is in a swing that is attached to ropes 2.00 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy of the child-Earth system relative to the child's lowest position when
a) the ropes are horizontal
b) the ropes make a 30o angle with the vertical
c) the child is at the bottom of the circular arc.
As book falls from yb to ya, the work done by the gravitational force on the book is
Won book = (mg) . (Dx) = (-mg j) . [(ya – yb) j]
Lesson 7 : Conservation of Mechanical Energy
From the work-kinetic energy theorem,
Won book = DKEbook
DKE = -DUg
Won book = mgyb - mgya
DKEbook = mgyb - mgya
For the book-Earth system,
mgyb – mgya = -(mgya – mgyb) = -(Uf – Ui) = -DUg
Bringing DU to left side of the equation,
This sum of KE and Ug is called mechanical energy.
Emech = KE + U
represents all types of potential energy
Conservation of Mechanical Energy (isolated, frictionless system)
KEf + Uf = KEi + Ui
DKE + DUg = 0
(KEf – KEi) + (Uf – Ui) = 0
Us = ½ kx2

A pendulum consists of a sphere of mass m attached to a light cord of length L. The sphere is released from rest at point A when the cord makes an angle qA with the vertical, and the pivot at P is frictionless.
Example 2
a) Find the speed of the sphere when it is at the lowest point B.
b) What is the tension TB in the cord at B ?
The launching mechanism of a toy gun consists of a spring of unknown spring constant. When the spring is compressed 0.120 m, the gun, when fired vertically, is able to launch a 35.0 g projectile to a maximum height of 20.0 m above the position of the projectile before firing.
Example 3
a) Neglecting all resistive forces, determine the spring constant.
b) Find the speed of the projectile as it moves through the equilibrium position of the spring (where xB = 0.120 m).
A bead slides without friction around a loop-the-loop. The bead is released from a height h = 3.50R.
Example 4
a) What is its speed at point A ?
b) How large is the normal force on it if its mass is 5.00 g ?
An object of mass m starts from rest and slides a distance d down a frictionless incline of angle q. While sliding, it contacts an unstressed spring of negligible mass as shown above. The object slides an additional distance x as it is brought momentarily to rest by compression of the spring (of spring constant k). Find the initial separation d between object and spring.
Example 5
Example 6 : AP 1989 # 1
A 0.1 kg block is released from rest at point A as shown above, a vertical distance h above the ground. It slides down an inclined track, around a circular loop of radius 0.5 m, then up another incline that forms an angle of 30o with the horizontal. The block slides off the track with a speed of 4 m/s at point C, which is a height of 0.5 m above the ground. Assume the entire track to be frictionless and air resistance to be negligible.
b) On the figure below, draw and label all the forces acting on the block when it is at point B, which is 0.5 m above the ground.
a) Determine the height h.
c) Determine the magnitude of the force exerted by the track on the block when it is at point B.
d) Determine the maximum height above the ground attained by the block after it leaves the track.
e) Another track that has the same configuration, but is NOT frictionless, is used. With this track it is found that if the block is to reach point C with a speed of 4 m/s, the height h must be 2 m. Determine the work done by the frictional force.
Example 7 : AP 1985 # 2
An apparatus to determine coefficients of friction is shown above. The box is slowly rotated counter-clockwise. When the box makes an angle q with the horizontal, the block of mass m just starts to slide, and at this instant the box is stopped from rotating. Thus at angle q, the block slides a distance d, hits the spring of force constant k, and compresses the spring a distance x before coming to rest.
In terms of the given quantities, derive an expression for each of the following.
a) ms, the coefficient of static friction
b) DE, the loss in total mechanical energy of the block-spring system from the start of the block down the incline to the moment at which it comes to rest on the compressed spring
c) mk, the coefficient of kinetic friction
Lesson 8 : Conservative and Nonconservative Forces
Conservative Forces
1. The work done by a conservative force on a particle moving between any two points is independent of the path taken by the particle.
2. The work done by a conservative force on a particle moving through any closed path is zero. (A closed path is one in which the beginning and end points are identical.)
Wg depends on y coordinates and is independent of the path
Wg is zero when the object moves over any closed path (where yi = yf).
Examples of Conservative Forces
a) Gravitational Force
Wg = mgyi - mgyf
Ws depends on y coordinates and is independent of the path
Wg is zero when the object moves over any closed path (where yi = yf).
b) Force exerted by a spring
Ws = ½ kxi2 – ½ kxf2
Nonconservative forces acting within a system cause a change in the mechanical energy of the system.
Nonconservative Forces
A force that does not satisfy the properties of a conservative force.
Work done by force depends on the path.
Friction force is a nonconservative force.
If book is displaced along blue path, work done against friction is less than if book is pushed along curved brown path.
DEmech = DKE + DU = -fkd
If the forces acting on objects within a system are conservative, then the mechanical energy of the system is conserved.
If some of the forces acting on objects within a system are nonconservative, then the mechanical energy of the system changes.
If a friction force acts within a system,
Example 1
A 3.00 kg crate slides down a ramp. The ramp is 1.00 m in length and inclined at an angle of 30.0o. The crate starts from rest at the top, experiences a constant friction force of magnitude 5.00 N, and continues to move a short distance on the horizontal floor after it leaves the ramp. Use energy methods to determine the speed of the crate at the bottom of the ramp.
Diagram for Example 1
A child of mass m rides on an irregularly curved slide of height h = 2.00 m. The child starts from rest at the top.
Example 2
a) Determine his speed at the bottom, assuming no friction is present.
b) If a force of kinetic friction acts on the child, how much mechanical energy does the system lose ? Assume that vf = 3.00 m/s and m = 20.0 kg.
Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley. The block of mass m1 lies on a horizontal surface and is connected to a spring of force constant k. The system is released from rest when the spring is unstretched. If the hanging block of mass m2 falls a distance h before coming to rest, calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block m1 and the surface.

The Wrong Kind of Love
Two friends, one guy. Only, the guy is the least of their problems. (LGBTQ themes)
"He's just sooo cute Hol!" Another teenage girl tripping over herself to chase after the latest hottie of the month. Miranda was nothing special in that regard. This was a completely ordinary thing to do, done by most females throughout the ages.
"I bet. Show him to me if we see him." I took a big slurp of the frozen drink in my hand, biting down on the large red straw. I say "most" because there was the occasional girl like me. One who was abnormal, strange… wrong. One who was in love with her best friend. Her best, female, friend.
"I heard he works at the food court on weekends," she squealed, her freckled cheeks glowing. That would explain why I had been woken up at 9am on a Saturday (I like my sleep), told to drive down to the pathetic excuse for a mall my little town has and made to "promise to wear something that doesn't embarrass her."
"So, you don't even know if he's actually here," I grumbled, still gnawing on the straw. It was now around 10:30am, the oldies just starting to make their appearance around the shops. My eyes locked onto the game store as we passed, my heart full of longing. I had a friend who worked there, and he was saving me a copy of the latest Left For Dead video game. Miranda wouldn't be caught dead in that store however, so I had to wait until our mission was accomplished.
"I do too! Fate's gonna bring us together, I'm telling you." I pulled my eyes away from the store and smirked at her, shaking my head. I didn't bother to argue; once she got that look in those blue eyes of hers, there was no bringing her back. At this point the only thing I could do was break her fall when he pushed off her cloud. The cycle had repeated itself for countless times with nameless boys, but she never gave up. Maybe it was that determination that kept me from giving up too.
Once we had walked the short distance to the 'court, Miranda suddenly stopped just before the turn in. She spun around on her heels and stared at me with fire in her eyes.
"Okay, teeth check," she said, smiling at me. I gave her the thumbs up. "Face check?" She tilted her head from side to side as I carefully examined her. She was so tiny, like a little pixie. Freckles dotted her upper cheeks, the only reminder her hair used to be light. Now, it was cut to her jaw line and a darker shade of brown than mine. She had a scar just under her eye from when a cat scratched her when we were 10. She was so beautiful, and even her little flaws just made her look cuter to me. I wanted so badly to reach out and touch her cheek, to stop her from going after anyone else ever again. But that's not what best friends do. In fact, I felt horrible for even thinking of her like that while she was trusting me to do a friendly, between-girls check, completely unaware of my thoughts. So, instead of doing what every ounce of my heart was screaming to do, I tugged down on her earlobe.
"Ow!" she complained, her balance slightly shaken for a moment. "What was that for?"
I smiled a bit and replied, "Luck." Her face lit up in a smile. She smoothed out her hair to get the little frizzies that stuck out on top, then walked around the corner into the food court.
It was crowded, no surprise there. I was a little surprised at the influx of teenage activity though. I had never been to the mall this early on a Saturday before, but for some reason I expected a lot more of the elderly. I hadn't been disappointed on the walk here, but this area still seemed completely adolescent dominated. As I glanced around, I noticed a particularly large group on the left side, where a couple sandwich shops and an ice cream place were located. We had barely made it to the tables before Miranda was hissing at me, "Oh my God, there he is! Right over there!" She was looking over at the large group of teenagers I had noticed just a moment ago, and after a few seconds of closer inspection it didn't take me long to spot him. My first thought was that he screamed poser. Light shaggy hair, semi-tight jeans that hung too low, and a pair of Vans that looked way too expensive to fit his supposed image. He had a nice smile, decent build. But I couldn't really see the "swoon-factor" that Miranda saw. She obviously wasn't the only one who thought that way though. He was leaning against the wall of Subway, a group of girls gathered around him. His uniform matched the green and yellow letters of the sign. Flirting while on break I thought; what an excellent use of time.
Miranda glanced from the group to me, then finally grabbed my hand and started pulling me other there with her.
"Hey!" I cried. "I was gonna wait for you!"
"Please come Holly, I don't want to go up there by myself. Pleaaasseee?" she begged, turning those doe eyes on me. After a moment I sighed and let myself be dragged up the group. As we neared she called loudly, "Heya Jimmy!" Several pairs of irritated, drowned in make-up eyes turned towards us. I looked away sheepishly and shoved my hands into the pockets of my basketball shorts, wanting no part in their game.
"Oh hey Miranda," he replied cheerfully. She hadn't told me they were on a first name basis already. What did she need me for? I glanced over at him to check his expression, and noticed his gaze was right on me. I frowned a bit and didn't engage.
"Oh, this is my best friend Holly. Holly, this is Jimmy. We sit together in economics," she introduced cheerfully. I took one hand out of my pocket to wave at him vaguely before plunging it back in, trying to look as disinterested as possible. I really didn't need people talking to me.
"Nice to meet you." His eyes were still on me, a little bit too long for my taste. Maybe it was because I was the tallest girl here, maybe it was because I was the only one with my hair thrown up and no makeup on my face. Maybe I was like some spectacle to him because I wasn't trying to show off for him. Arrogant bastard. I already hated him.
"Are you in our grade?" he continued, now ignoring the other girls who were formally in the group. They all glared daggers at me, but how was it my fault?
"Yup," I simply responded. I glanced over at Miranda, who was looking from him to me now with a bit of concern. Crap, I thought. Stop paying attention to me and look at her already.
"Is that the Left For Dead hand on your shirt?" he asked, pointing towards the zombie four fingered logo. I glanced down out of habit, then nodded. "I love that game! I just got the third one a little while ago, it's awesome."
I perked up a bit at that, I couldn't help it. "Is it? I haven't had a chance to get it yet, but I hear it's the best one."
"I dunno about that. Originals are always hard to top." He shrugged.
"What are you talking about man?! Two totally blew the first one out of the water. It was crap compared to #2!" I argued. He laughed, and we went back and forth like that for the next several minutes. Throughout our conversation, a few girls muttered their goodbyes and took off. As we continued, I noted several comments that were definitely attempts at flirting with me. He asked for my number, but I compromised with my Xbox 360 gamer tag instead. Miranda was silent the entire time. We ended up talking through his break, and he said his goodbyes to the both of us as he headed back to Subway.
Miranda just looked at me for a moment. I knew I had screwed up the second I met her gaze. It wasn't as if I liked him or anything, but of course there was no way she could know that. There was no way she could know I would never love anyone but her. Her look turned into a glare and she suddenly turned around and started stomping away. I quickened my pace to catch up with her, which wasn't hard given her short legs. I didn't say anything, knowing it would do no good. I just followed her like a little puppy for a few stores down until we hit the end of the mall and had to turn around. When she finally had to admit she couldn't go any further, she wheeled on me.
"What the hell was that?!" she yelled, looking like she was about to cry. I felt terrible.
"I didn't mean to hog the conversation Mir, I'm sor-"
"You were totally flirting with him!" she cried. I blinked, confused.
"I definitely wasn't," I assured her. "He's not my type." He's not a girl named Miranda with beautiful eyes and memories to share with me.
"I shouldn't have asked you to come. It's so obvious he's interested in you," she said sadly. Her miserable expression made my heart break.
"No, Mir, it's not-" She put her hand up to stop me, glancing back behind me at the food court for just a moment before walking off, making it clear I wasn't to follow. I watched her back as I had hundreds of times walking away from me again. With nothing else to do but wait, I sighed and sat down on a nearby bench. She would get over it. She wasn't the type to let jealousy ruin a friendship. But, as I closed my eyes and pictured her betrayed face, I began to wonder which hurt worse: Loving someone who didn't care about you at all, or someone who loved you in the wrong way?

Das beste Theme für mich.Schade,das es nicht auf

Ralli11 Dortmund (Germany)
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
I really love the color yellow and gold combined together. I gave it a 3 star rating because when you put your cursor on the bookmarks, it turns red and the text is blue. it does not match with the over all color.
I also agree that it is hard to know what is the active tab.
hoping for the progress of this theme.
Bright and cheerful but rough at the edges Rated 3 out of 5 stars
I love the colours! How very refreshing. However, I have uninstalled this theme as I find some of the smaller icons (e.g. with the lists of my bookmarks) very difficult to see clearly.
Also many of the buttons seem to be wearing woolley coats which seem out of place with the beautiful sunshine. And some of them just have a rather scruffy, unfinished look.
If this was tidier I would use it. It is a shame because I love the colours!

You'll also know I'm not the most technically minded of people so I thought I'd ask for advice from you lovely lot. As far as I can make out Dragon seems to be the software to go for, but there are different versions, and I've no idea what the difference between the standard or preferred editions is, or if it's even important. Can anyone advise, please?

I bought Dragon for the boys [complete failure but probably for different reasons]
You may possibly [can't be sure it's just my best guess] need to be careful about your accent.
You need good diction, no slurry speech. You need to speak smoothly at a steady pace no big pauses [whilst your brain catches up!] or suddenly speed up.
A good part of it is that you can put it in 'teaching mode' ramble away for hours and hours until it gets used to your voice and that seems to help [or it would do but for the hic-cups outlined above]
As for the different versions etc. I'll leave that for the more technically minded amongst us.

I used Dragon a couple of years back when I was lecturing in a university. I got it free in the university and because of that I assume that it's the best one out there. My GP told me that her husband uses it (my orthopaedic surgeon - it does amuse me thinking of letters going back and forward between them, do they hand deliver them??).
Overall I found the software to be fairly good, although you need to have no background noise otherwise it will pick up that. It did, however, really slow my laptop down.
It definitely did relieve my wrists from having to type too much with no wrist support and I was lucky in that there were days when typing was not as painful so I could alternate between using it and not.
It probably would be a good investment but while I would go for an uptodate version, I would not spend up on £100 on it and would stick to the standard version at under £40 on Amazon.
I also did not find it that much of a hardship to be tied to the laptop when using it as if you need to leave it you just tell it to go to sleep, so I'm not convinced of the need for the wireless microphone.
Hope this helps.

Its a big jump in price,but I would go for the wireless version,if it comes with the dictaphone too..thats not very clear in the blurb.
When you start your novel,wireless and dictaphone will be very handy..you can dictate your raunchy chapters from on top of the Captain!
You might even be able to claim some back as expenses,when you get to the point of being a self employed writer..keep the receipt safe.
Completely unrelated..remember that american robot suit I showed you?Have a look at the japanese version..its almost a nintendo wii accessory
hope all is well with you bendy x.
**heck - Fionas experience has negated everything I suggested!

try the latest version microsoft ship with vista (get all the updates too before starting)
id try that one as its basically free (if u get vista) first, before spending any money

I looked into it a while back, and for the programs I need it to support I would have had to buy the $900+ version as the lower ones don't support Outlook (just outlook express) or any of the other programs I use often other than MS Word. Didn't seem like it would be worth it just to use in MS Word and I got really frustrated with Outlook Express a number of years back and refuse to go back to it. Also Dragon requires a LOT of RAM and memory space and an updated speaker/microphone and some other media card, which of course they don't tell you, in order to run well enough without slowing your computer down to turtle speeds. So it will probably in the long run cost you more than just the price of the software. BUT everyone I have talked to says that Dragon does make the best voice recognition software so if you're going to do it at all, go the Dragon route. For me now, $900 is more than typing in pain, therefore pain will continue.
Good luck!

Maddy: TY. Sorry to hear it didn't work for the boys. Fortunately my diction is clear, no slurring these days and I have an overall British accent but no strong regional one.
Fi: Hello, and thank you. Like you I've not been convinced of the need for either wireless microphone or the 'preferred' version, but I do have concerns my laptop will not be able to cope. Ho hum.
You picked well there, a GP married to your ortho surgeon! Cynical as I am I bet the NHS makes them put all the letters in the official system lol BG
Northerner: I see if I ever make it as a writer not only will I have to credit you for advice, but also get you to do my tax returns;)
I checked out that link, OMG how fast have they develpped that technology?! Its amazing. Hope life is being kind to you X
Anonymous: Hello. Thank you, that's an option I hadn't even considered!
Katrin: OMG, $900. The one I'm considering is like $80-90. Wow. I'm like you, pretty much decided it'll have to be Dragon if I do get it, but from all the advice I suspect I'd need a much more powerful laptop/pc to run it. Back to the drawing board for now. Thank you. BG
Vi:Cheers my love. I don't know if you've ever used it, but ebuyer usually comes up the cheapest for most computer related stuff (it didn't for this one though!) It's worth looking for any wine related laptop crisis though! BG x

Shareholders in Romania's Fondul Proprietatea voted overwhelmingly to renew Franklin Templeton Investments' mandate to manage the fund at a shareholder meeting on October 29, despite a worse-than-usual performance in the last 12 months.
Fondul Proprietatea, which means "property fund" in Romanian, was set up to recompense Romanians whose property had been confiscated under the communist regime. With stakes in 49 companies including some of the largest Romanian energy companies, it has become a proxy for exposure to the Romanian market among international investors.
Fund manager Greg Konieczny told a press conference in Bucharest that for the first time in the four years Franklin Templeton has been managing the fund, it had negative returns on net asset value (NAV) over the last 12 months, while the discount has increased. "The last 12 months have been very difficult, not only for the fund but across financial markets in frontier and emerging markets... but I want to show you that there is a future for Fondul," Konieczny said.
Mark Mobius, executive chairman of Templeton Emerging Markets Group, who was at the press conference, expressed his confidence in the Romanian market in the long term. "Romania is one of the fastest-growing countries in Europe. If you look forward under President [Klaus] Iohannis, and at the general trend towards reform, assets here will become more valuable," Mobius said.
Despite this year's difficulties, Konieczny said that between 98% and 99% of shareholders voted in favour of signing the new investment management agreement with Franklin Templeton at the extraordinary general meeting. Its new mandate to manage the fund will start from April 1, 2016 and last for two years.
The new agreement amends the fee structure, and sets out performance objectives, namely to raise NAV and bring the discount down to below 15%. A new discount control mechanism will require the fund's management to take actions including buybacks and cash distributions if the discount exceeds 15% for more than half of any financial quarter.
In addition to poor market conditions, Konieczny listed several factors that have affected the fund's performance over the last 12 months. He cites "a number of regulatory issues" such as delayed decisions from Romania's financial regulator, the ASF, delayed implementation of corporate governance legislation, and gas market liberalisation.
As many of Fondul Proprietatea's portfolio companies are in the energy sector, low oil prices have affected the fund's performance, as has the regional security situation given Romania's proximity to Greece and Ukraine.
Key to bringing down the discount is reducing the share of unlisted companies in Fondul Proprietatea's portfolio. "One of the main reasons for the discount is the structure of our portfolio, where unlisted companies account for more than 50% of the total, and even the listed part is not very liquid," said Konieczny.
Progress on planned IPOs of several portfolio companies remains slow. Hydropower producer Hidroelectrica remains in insolvency while court battles over cancelled contracts with private traders - the so-called "smart guys" - are in progress, although according to Konieczny an IPO could take place in summer 2016. Concerning power company CE Oltenia, which had previously been considered an IPO candidate, "there is no chance to see Oltenia on the stock exchange any time soon. This chance is suspended from our point of view," Konieczny said.
Romania's finance ministry is working on a shortlist of more companies to list, and a decision is expected very soon, meaning there may be the chance to see one or more companies list in 2016. Potential candidates include Bucharest Airports, salt monopoly Salrom and Posta Romana after an attempt to sell to a strategic buyer fell through in September.
However, Konieczny stressed that Franklin Templeton "is not desperate" to sell assets and confirmed the continuation of the RON500mn (€113mn) credit line from Citibank used for financing of the buyback programme.
Konieczny also pointed out that the successful listing of Fondul Proprietatea's GDRs on the London Stock Exchange in April "has proven that the listing of our GDRs in London is welcome to investors". Fondul Proprietatea is currently the fifth largest listed fund on the London exchange, and its portfolio company OMV Petrom has since decided to list its own GDRs in London.

DAO Semiautos: CZ100 Is A Best Buy; Pass on S&W's 4053TSW
This matchup of .40 Smith & Wesson-chambered autoloaders finds a superb $399 Czech product that outdoes the Tactical model from S&W and Ruger�s pricier P94DC pistol.
Many states have passed "shall issue" concealed-carry permit laws, allowing their citizens to exercise a Constitutional right to self defense. There is even a continuing effort to pass a national concealed-carry permit law that will recognize any state permit throughout the country, not unlike automobile registrations. As these "carry" gun laws continue to develop, gun-savvy permit holders, who want a small-frame gun carrying as many powerful rounds as possible, have spurred development of the .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge. Accordingly, this has led to a proliferation of handguns chambered for the round, and we have reviewed many .40 S&W pistols, some as recently as December 1998.

Learners Senedd visit to experience the home of politics in Wales
Have you ever fancied having your own VIP tour of the Senedd? Business learners from NPTC Groups Newtown Campus did just that when they took a trip to the Welsh capital as part of their Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Diploma.
The days events included a whirlwind of political debate on the engagement of young adults and students into politics. As the discussion took place, American Ambassador, Matthew Barzun joined the learners in discussions about their studies and plans for the future.
Later, the learners took part in a practical workshop where they dissected current issues of the day such as smoking in public areas, organ donation and other health matters.
While visiting the Senedd the learners experienced the home of Welsh politics in style with a talk from AM Russell George in one of the Senedds debating chambers.
Donna Litten, business lecturer, explained: Russell lives in Newtown and has travelled to the Senedd for the scheduled afternoon debate. He talked to us about how politicians voted during the debate. He also discussed the topic of the afternoons planned debate on school meals. The students thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the Senedd and the first-hand experience they received from meeting with Russell George and Matthew Barzun.

Opinie o innych obiektach tego gospodarza
The apartment was spacious and the location was close to the city center. The service of the host was good and swift. The downside was that overall the apartment and for sure the bathroom were not clean at all…in the apartment there was a lot of dust and there was mold in the bathroom.
A very good apartment, it had everything we needed, washing machine, iron, iron table, soap, dishes, hot water ...etc
few things werent that perfect: it's on a second floor without an elevator 'cuz it's an old building .. the light enters through the window in the early morning and there's no way u can prevent it so be prepared if u sleep late at the previous day . other than that everything was almost perfect.
Everything was very very good! I like this flat.
For the advantages are:
geographical localization (just five minutes from metro and tram stations;
the shops are not far;
very quiet area;
nice interior, the kitchen is fully equiped (except the corkscrew if you need to open a wine bottle)));
the bathroom nice and clean;
computer with the internet access;
there were five of us, so three rooms were preatty enough.
For disadvantages are:
only one key,so it's pretty complicated if your company needs to separate and walk in different ways;
the computer is also disdvantage, because it plays on the nerves))) it is very slow and sometimes can reboot (I believe that the RAM will soon be dead);
In conclusion I would like to thank the stuff, especially Emil. He was very friendly and patient answering to my questions via this site.
Have a nice time guys!
We had a very good time in this apartment. The office for the key is only 2 minutes walk from the main train station and the apartment too. In a quiet street. Everything in walking distance. For example 15 minutes to the Carls Bridge. Our bikes had a good place inside the apartment. The people at the office where you get the key we were very kind and helpfull.
Definitely a place we would recommand to friends!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Tout c'est bien passé. L'appartement était grand, propre et proche du centre.
J'ai eu un problème de bagages avec l' aréoport et on m'a aidé dans mes démarches pour récupérer mon sac.
C'était super!!!
Everything was nice. The flat was big, clean and close to the city's center.
The airport keep my luggage but I have been helped to get my bag back.
it was awesome!!!
Excellent apartment with a great location. Everything was clean and working. Building is very quiet, though the apartment was echoing. Very modern kitchen and bathroom. Strong waterpressure and instant hot water. Only few things that might bother people. The beds are quite low, so that might be a problem if you have mobility issues. The kitchen is also quite small if you are a large party. Those didn't affect us. The only minus for us was the fact that there wasn't any reading lamps near the beds.
Over all the apartment was great and everything worked smoothly with the renters. Prague was amazing, we are hoping to return soon. (and wouldn't hesitate to rent this apartment again)
We arrive to this apparent, but it wasn't the apartment advertised. The woman didn't tell us despite having spoken to me the day of our arrival. They made it out like our new apartment was do much nicer and it was like they were doing us a favor but the shower smelled of urine, there was urine on one of the pillows, fluff on the floor and the sofa bed tilted so that it hurt our backs and made us fall half down a gap. We also messaged the owner asking for some information but still no response and we have now left.
the apartment is right in the new city center, we could walk to old town in about 15 minutes and had everything - shops, bars, cafés right around.
The apartment was VERY clean, which is great! It offers basically everything, coffee-machine, water-boiler, big fridge, hairdryer, even a washing machine.
Everything seemed really new - the furniture and the bathrooms. We especially loved the "rain"-showerhead! ;)
The beds are comfortable and the rooms look very nice.
On our last morning, the electricity went off - but we called the "emergency number" of the office and they send a guy over in just a few minutes that repaired everything. Great service!
The kitchen could be equipped better. The Appartment was clean, the neighbourhood was pretty quiet. All in all a nice appartment.

This can't be true. It can't can't can't. If it is and I was the girlfriend I would NEVER return to that house again.
According to a story posted on Reddit an 18-year-old kid in Texas says he was hooking up with his girlfriend about a month ago, when his MOM walked in.
They weren't having sex . . . in fact, they were fully clothed. But it's still been SUPER awkward between his mom and his girlfriend ever since.
So his mom decided to clear the air . . . by baking a CAKE for the girl, and writing in frosting, quote, "Sorry we caught you dry humping our son. We still love you!"
The kid posted a photo of the cake online a few days ago, and it started going viral.

Look up the box score of the Angels' game from 25 years ago today and you'll see an "8" under the bottom of the ninth inning. You'll see that the Angels rallied furiously and somehow beat the Detroit Tigers 13-12.
But you won't quite get the improbability of that night's crowning event.
Of all the people to hit a walk-off grand slam in the heat of a pennant race, few players were less likely to do so than Dick Schofield. A .217 lifetime hitter at that point, the 23-year old shortstop had averaged six home runs a season in his first two-and-a-half years in the big leagues.
Forget about whether Schofield would hit a home run in that spot. Why would he even bat? Manager Gene Mauch had Reggie Jackson sitting on the bench that day. What was he waiting for to pinch-hit Jackson, a gold-plated invitation?
But Mauch went with his hunch -- Schofield's bat had started to heat up judging by hits in two previous at-bats -- and it paid off magnificently in one of the Angels' most memorable wins. Schofield connected on a hanging breaking ball from Detroit closer Willie Hernandez, who had won the AL MVP award just two years earlier, scoring the final four runs of the Angels' bizarre comeback.
"The Angels win, and I don't believe it," said broadcaster Ron Fairly after the ball carried over the left-field fence.
The sequence of that at-bat made Schofield's heroics even less likely. Hernandez threw a breaking ball for a strike to get ahead, then he dropped his best pitch, a screwball, in the dirt and Schofield swung and missed it by two feet. He seemed set up for another off-speed pitch that would put him away and end the game.
"I kind of circled the plate, came around behind the umpire and then just said, 'All right,' just make contact,' " Schofield recalled in a televised interview later that season.
The swing would preserve the Angels' 4 1/2-game lead and they would win the division by five.
Of course, another late-inning home run -- Dave Henderson's off Donnie Moore -- would lead to the end the Angels' run against the Boston Red Sox in the playoffs that season. But nobody knew it at the time. It seemed as if the only miracle of 1986 would be the crazy comeback and the unlikely home run from a light-hitting shortstop.

The Spain striker is hoping that rivals Chelsea can do Manuel Pellegrini's men a favour by defeating the Reds at Anfield on Sunday
The Reds face Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday in a crucial clash at the top of the table where a win for the Blues could give Manuel Pellegrini's men a lifeline in the race for the title.
City would then be able to draw level on points with Liverpool, were they to win both of their games in hand, and Negredo is hoping Jose Mourinho's side can help his side out.
"We know this is Liverpool's toughest game on paper," he told Sky Sports' 'Weekend Warm-up'.
"But we are not going to give up the fight. So we want it to go in our favour and then, as I say, it is down to us to do our job by winning four games that will put us in a position where we have a chance."
Liverpool have won their last 11 games in a row to storm to the top of the table but Negredo is hoping their winning run does not continue.
"It's tough because it is not in our hands," he added. "We will battle until the end and you never know teams might slip up along the way somewhere and drop points themselves.
"There is still a lot of hope in the dressing room. While there are points available it is possible that other sides might make mistakes.
"We have to go all out to win every game. We have four left and we have to win them all and then sit back and see what happens."

That's where bionic ear cuffs come in. TCAPS, or Tactical Communication and Protective System, is a device that protects soldiers' hearing while helping them maintain awareness of their surroundings. TCAPS analyzes every incoming sound, then amplifies the quietest ones—for example, conversation with a fellow soldier—and turns down the loudest ones, such as the blast of an IED. On top of that, they also broadcast radio communications. The cuffs are small enough to wear comfortably under a helmet, so a soldier could probably wear them all day without any drawbacks. So far, about 20,000 TCAPS devices have been deployed in the field since 2014, mostly to Special Operations forces. In fact, the Navy SEALs who stormed Osama Bin Laden's compound in 2011 were wearing TCAPS, according to author Mary Roach. Learn more about the devices in the videos below.
Though hearing loss is a problem for everyone, avoiding it is easier for civilians: if you know you'll be in a loud environment, just pop in some earplugs and you're good to go. Soldiers, on the other hand, don't know when they'll be exposed to loud sounds, since explosives go off and firefights break out without warning. That's one reason 1 in 5 U.S. soldiers suffer from hearing loss. Keeping earplugs in at all times isn't an option, since the majority of a soldier's day is spent quietly and earplugs have the undesirable side effect of muffling everything, not just the loudest sounds. The problem gets even more dire when you think about the fact that the loudest military environments, like the aforementioned firefight, are the ones where good communication is most essential.
