Jacob Brodbeck
1865 Airship
German-born Texas immigrant and Texas Hill Country school teacher/inventor JACOB BRODBECK makes his first manned power flight some 40 years before the famous flight of Orville and Wilbur Wright, about the time the brothers abandoned their diapers...
By Logan Hawkes
Sure, tales in Texas can get pretty tall. Like the state though, Texans and their often far-out ideas can be pretty big when it comes to striving for greatness.
True, not all of them are the best of ideas. But for German-born Jacob Brodbeck, riding in a lighter-than-air powered machine was a dream destined for greatness, and the school teacher-turned-inventor set out to prove his idea was more ambition than senseless daydreaming, a quest for greatness that culminated in what may well be the world's first powered flight involving a human passenger.
It happened in a field not far from Luckenbach. Yep - Luckenbach - long before Willie, Waylon and the boys first stepped onto the scene. The year was 1865 in fact and the Civil War was coming to a slow end. Americans were beginning to set aside their political differences and get back to the idea that America was great - great enough to pioneer new technology and ideas that would some day change the world.
Born in the duchy of Württemberg, Germany, in 1821, Jacob attended a seminary in Esslingen and taught school for six years in Württemberg before sailing for Texas to start a new life on the Texas frontier. He reached Fredericksburg in March of 1847, became the second teacher at the Vereins Kirche and later taught at the Grape Creek school and other Gillespie County schools. He became a United States citizen in 1852, and in 1858 married Maria Christine Sophie Behrens. Apparently the art of invention didn't consume all his time. He and wife Maria eventually had twelve children.
Once a commissioner in Gillespie County, Jacob kept his idle hands busy by working on inventions. In Germany he had attempted to build a self-winding clock, and in 1869 he designed an ice-making machine.
But the projects just weren't big enough to keep Jacob happy, so settling into his new life in Texas, he decided to accomplish something that no other had been able to do. Perhaps inspired by the stories of H.G. Wells and other speculative writers of the time, Jacob began to formulate a plan for the construction of an "air ship," a self-powering passenger carrier that would, he hoped, replace the wagon as a primary form of contemporary transportation.
It was an ambitious project, but armed with financial and moral support from a group in nearby San Antonio, Jacob put together a prototype of his first aircraft design and set about building it in his past time.
In 1863 he built a small model with a rudder, wings, and a propeller powered by coiled springs. Encouraged by the success of his model at various local fairs, Brodbeck set about raising more funds to build a full-sized version of his craft. He persuaded a number of investors, including Dr. Ferdinand Herff of San Antonio, H. Guenther of New Braunfels and A. W. Engel of Cranes Mill, to buy shares in the project, promising to repay them within six months of selling the patent rights to his flying machine. On September 20, 1865, a small crowd gathered in a field near Luckenbach to see if the spring coil air ship could actually fly.
The airship, which featured an enclosed space for the "aeronaut," a water propeller in case of accidental landings on water, a compass, and a barometer.
While there were plenty of credible witnesses to the history-making event, no one bothered to take photographs, so the exact size, shape and success or failure of the air ship's maiden voyage is purely a matter of speculation. But according to published accounts, Brodbeck's air ship managed to lift off from the ground above 12 feet and fly a distance of about 100 feet before the coil came unwound and the ship crashed into a chicken coup injuring the inventor.
It may have not been an earth-shattering feat, but it certainly qualified as the first successful powered flight of an aircraft, predating Wilbur and Orville's Kittyhawk flight by 40 years.
What happened from that point in the story is rather melodramatic. While his physical injuries were classified as minor, the first flight failed to impress his investors. The lack of press coverage and local enthusiasm over the project apparently caused Brodbeck to become irritated and discouraged. He burned the wrecked air ship and walked away from the idea never to return to the drawing board.
Perhaps he, like the majority of people of those days, figured that flying through the air was an ambitious project the likes of which belonged in fairy tells and action novels. But it stop a small group of project supporters from immortalizing the inventor with a bronze sculpture that eventually was placed in San Pedro Park in San Antonio.
The project may have been abandoned, but it didn't take away the fact that his flight was a historical first.
You may not find Brodbeck's name and story in the history books of early flight, but his accomplishment goes down in Texas history as one in a long list of remarkable feats initiated by a Texan.
Hats off Jacob! From Texas with Love...

text: Hey fellas, I'm thinking about buying a 6.5 x 12' open alumium landscape trailer. It's quite a bit more $$ than a steel one of the same size but just on looks alone it's far & away nicer than the steel. Not to mention 1/3 of the weight. Does anyone have aluminum trailers and how do you like it? Any problems mounting racks to them? Any feedback would be good!! Thanks

About LEV Home Elevators
LEV home elevators were marketed in the US from about 1999 until 2012 by the German-owned company ThyssenKrupp Access, a special division of ThyssenKrupp created to sell residential elevators in the US market. Brand names included LEV, and later, National Wheel-O-Vator and the Destiny Home Elevator.
ThyssenKrupp Access ultimately decided to end manufacturing of all their home elevator lines. Their official announcement, sent out to LEV dealers, stated:
These changes were brought about by a combination of slow economy, sluggish sales, and lingering manufacturing issues.

Google Street View of Tryon Baptist Church that will be moved by the province to make way for a more gentle curve of the Trans-Canada highway in Tryon.
A sharp curve in the Trans-Canada Highway in Tryon will soon be straighter and safer.
Work is set to begin in mid-August on a realignment of a dangerous 1.6 km section of the highway in Tryon.
"I know there have been quite a few accidents on this particular stretch of road," said Darrell Evans, design manager with the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal.
"We've had instances where we've replaced a guard rail on that curve and then the next week it was damaged due to a truck flipped over, so it's a bad curve."
Department officials say this curve does not meet current national safety guidelines.
The curve radius of this particular stretch of the Trans-Canada is about 270-280 meters. This will be improved to a 600-metre radius curve.
"That will greatly improve the safety of the road going around this curve," Evans said.
In order to straighten out this part of the highway, the Tryon United Baptist Church will be moved to an adjacent property.
This is the second of three changes to realign the Trans-Canada Highway, which were first proposed in 2011. The first of this three-stage project was completed the last year in Churchill. That project, known as the Plan B highway realignment, was met with deep concern and protest over the environmental impacts of the highway.
Alternately, the project this year has not received any negative feedback from the public. Evans says this project is significantly smaller in scale and cost. The Plan B highway cost $16-million, while the tender for the realignment in Tryon has come in at $1.75 million.
"It's not a very complex project," Evans said.
"The one last year was a six-kilometre stretch of road and fairly hilly, as you know, and steep hills, lots of cuts, lots of fills. This one is not as complicated as that."
The work is expected to take six-to-eight weeks to complete. Construction may cause some temporary travel delays, but not for any great length of time, Evans added.
The final phase of the Trans-Canada realignment is a proposed bypass behind Crapaud to the south-west.
But this project is still in the planning phase and would still need to go to public consultation.
Also, other capital projects may come sooner, such as the Cornwall bypass or an extension of this year's Tryon project, which would see additional improvements on a second a curve further north.
"It all hinges on our own budget availability and other external factors," Evans said.
Provincial officials are still awaiting word on whether some of the cost of this year's Tryon highway work will be shared by the federal government, as was the case for the Churchill realignment last year.

U.S. government agencies are breaking tradition to be among the first to adopt something new and exciting from the world of technology.
Large bureaucracies tasked with delivering services across the breadth of a large country, without the margin for error or ability to decide not to deliver the service after all – as commercial companies can do – don't leap at unproven processes or technology.
That's exactly what they're doing, though, including the chance they'll fall flat on their faces while continuing the 25-point "cloud-first" total-government migration plan created under the leadership of U.S. CIO Vivek Kundra, who is quitting that job for the second time.
Kundra introduced the plan in 2009, in conjunction with the Obama White House, and put it place in December as part of an overall "e-government" cost-saving efficiency raising effort that included regular progress reports to the public and struggles with budget cuts and other bureaucratic potholes.
Kundra, the former CIO of the District of Columbia was appointed to the post of U.S. CIO months after the Obama adminstration took office.
Among his highest-profile, highest-impact goals was to consolidate more than 2,100 data centers to 800 by 2015.
The other was to modernize and consolidate federal IT data centers using cloud technology to continue increasing their efficiency and cutting their costs.
Federal CIOs and analysts credit Kundra with energetic leadership and significant progress in an area that has seen little of either ever in its history.
Through debate and tooth gnashing at the closure of so many facilities, and objections to the adoption of technology that hasn't been proven in the private sector, Kundra kept the discussions, if not the project itself, on track.
He announced in June he would resign to take a fellowship at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
A third of the 25 milestones in the plan should have been accomplished by now, progress hasn't been nearly that fast, according to Computerworld.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) did create a standard definition of what constitutes "cloud" computing, and an outline of how to make them secure, which must have helped.
A new survey shows that federal IT may not even know how many computers they have or what is being done with them, let alone how quickly they're consolidating all that hardware onto virtual servers and then into a cloud.
Of 157 agencies surveyed, only 25 percent said they're tracking the amount of storage they own or use and 41 percent said they know how many servers they operate.
Only 31 percent of federal data-center managers knew the average computing load across their data centers, compared with 90 percent in private-sector companies, the survey showed.
Despite sometimes-gloomy reports on the progress the feds are making toward cloud, it's possible the agencies have no idea how much progress they've actually made, or not.
Some of the remaining CIOs want to take a breath to make sure the cloud plan is in good shape. Many of the rest are optimistic about completing the plan – or at least continuing it.
"Now you have a perfect situation where the stars are aligned to make massive change," cloud fan Shawn Kingsberry, CIO at the federal Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board told Computerworld. "When you look at what this means, federal government has the opportunity to make moves forward."
Moving things forward is the thing the other CIOs praised in Kundra. Many described him as a "change agent."
The thing about change agents – at least in chemistry, if not in politics – is that when you remove them, the change stop.
In bureaucracies – government or commercial – the same thing happens if you pull out the money.
The Dept. of Interior just cut $500 million from its IT budget; other agencies may follow suit.
The decision to consolidate the number of federal data centers by 60 percent, layer cloud platforms over them to make better use of their resources and improve their ability to share data was uniquely bold and visionary, especially in the federal government and most especially among projects that actually got off the ground.
Without the catalyst credited with articulating planning, evangelizing and launching the project, the chance that it will continue on the same track is small. The chance that it will continue to a conclusion that delivers enough to declare victory even with a fraction of the progress in the plan is also small.
Far more likely, with parties in Congress refusing even to disagree with each other, let alone work out any differences, budgets shrinking, milestones being missed and the project leader on his way to academia, the odds are very strong that the federal cloud unity project will be declared complete months or years in the future without making a lick more progress than it made the day Kundra quit.
The frustrating thing is that it's just as likely that Kundra quit because the project had hit a permanent stall, not caused it by leaving.
Which would mean federal IT is even more hidebound and resistant to improvement than even the most pessimistic expectations.

January 1996
by William A. Henkin, Ph.D.
Copyright © 1996 by William A. Henkin
<Q> My friend is a submissive woman whose top has begun to punish her outside their play scenes: for instance, at dinner the other night he slapped her without notice, explaining to me later, when I asked, that he had been punishing her for being disobedient about something I did not understand. Is this still SM?
<A> Probably not in my book. I say "probably" because I don't know the couple and I don't know what they've negotiated. If they've negotiated a lifestyle or a scene of consensual nonconsent, for example, and you're seeing the results without knowing the background, what they're doing may still be what I would call SM. In some ways my answer might depend on how your friend responded to being slapped: did she like it, appreciate it, or feel humbly chastised? Or did she dislike it, resent it, or feel unhappily humiliated?
SM as I know it is consensual, negotiated, erotic play that takes place within agreed-upon limits. If it is not consensual, if it is not negotiated, if it is not erotic, and/or if the agreed-upon limits are violated, chances are good that people have crossed a line from intense sex play to what I would call abuse.
Another point that may sound like mere PR for the world's leather communities really goes much deeper: if you or I could interpret what your friend and her play partner are doing as abuse, it also probably looks like abuse to other people who have less knowledge about SM than we do. Even if this couple's scenes do concern consensual nonconsent, the people around them when they play in public, such as you, have not agreed to participate as voyeurs or bystanders, and it's never polite, in Sybil Holiday's felicitous phrase, to bring your bedroom into other people's living rooms.
None of what I've written so far answers your question if your friend's definition of SM is different from mine. I don't know your definition and I don't know that of your friend and her top. I support the "safe, sane, and consensual" slogan of the organized SM communities, and I can justify it if need be. But just as there are people who say that what they do is not SM even though the bondage, spanking, and other variants of their sex play look like SM to me, so also there are people who say that what they do is SM even though it doesn't look like SM to me.
In any case, if you believe your friend is being abused which I know you never said, but which I find implicit in your question why not ask her how she feels about what she and her play partner are doing? If she says something like, "Wowie zowie, Chad, this is the best time I've had since the frost line descended," you probably can rest your worries. On the other hand, if she doesn't know or if she feels as if she is being abused, just having someone notice enough to ask might start her on the road to improve or leave a relationship that is not in her own best interests. And whatever answer your friend gives you, at least you'll have enough information to settle your own mind about what's going on with her.

a barrier to lateral movement within an organization, often due to prejudice
Trying to climb this mountain of wickedness is like trying to climb a glass wall with your bare hands.
The glass wall was etched with the names of the 295 people the company lost on September 11.
With a protesting squeak, the glass wall disappeared into the rock.
The thickness of the glass wall was in most cases less than .01 mm.
The ball of fire moved steadily toward the glass wall of the tube, and with a crash the glass exploded inward.
Calhoun nodded his head toward the para behind the glass wall.
I saw a rifle being shown to Marina in an adjoining cubicle with a glass wall between us.
"Possibly," answered Heinrich, knitting his forehead as he stared through the glass wall out into the night.
It slid softly along the carpeting before coming to a halt a few inches from the glass wall.
The crash of gunfire, it seemed, must crush the glass wall like an eggshell by the sheer impact of its own thunder.

Vancouver, British Columbia (UPI) Dec 7, 2011
A Canadian firm that recycles phosphorus from wastewater is aiming to open a second European plant in the Netherlands, a company official said this week.
Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies of Vancouver is close to striking an agreement with backers in the Netherlands to open a new plant there, Ostara board member Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Water and Wastewater International Magazine.
"We are in talks with various groups in the Netherlands and we are very confident we'll be able to work with at least one of those groups to arrange an installation in the next year or so," he said.
If so, it would come on the heels of a deal struck last year with Britain's Thames Water to introduce new phosphorus-and-nutrient recovery technology at its Slough Sewage Works west of London in a $3.1 million project.
Kennedy, a U.S. environmental activist and venture capitalist, told the magazine there is much potential to extract valuable phosphorus from waste streams in "Germany, the Baltic States and also Scandinavia."
The technology aims to halt the inexorable dwindling of the world's phosphorus supplies -- a key ingredient in agricultural fertilizer needed to maintain global food security. Unlike oil, another finite natural resource, phosphorus can't be replaced with alternatives, so conservation of supplies is imperative, environmentalists say.
The Global Phosphorus Research Initiative, a collaboration among independent research institutes in Australia, Sweden, Canada and the Netherlands, says the coming of "peak phosphorus" -- a global peak in phosphate rock reserves -- is likely to happen within the next 30 years, with the depletion of all reserves possible in this century.
About 75 percent of the world's known reserves are in the Western Sahara and are controlled by Morocco, which is restricting exports.
Because of dwindling supplies, prices for phosphorus have spiked, making fertilizer unaffordable to many farmers in developing nations.
Kennedy told Water and Wastewater that 80 percent of phosphorus used in agriculture "runs off, so it's a very wasteful use of the resource. It either becomes bound in the soil or it leaches and runs off into the local waterways, usually most of it during the first rainstorm."
One of most efficient ways to add to the phosphorus supply is to "mine" it from wastewater at sewage treatment plants. Ostara says its system works by removing a concrete-like mineral deposit called struvite that builds up on sewage treatment equipment and chokes pipes.
It processes the unwanted scale into a slow-release commercial fertilizer, thereby saving the utility money on cleaning costs and recovering phosphorus from a sustainable source.
Ostara President and Chief Executive Officer Phillip Abrary said several hundred plants in Europe are potential candidates for the technology.
The public-private partnership between Thames Water and Ostara in Britain will produce 150 tons per of fertilizer. Under the deal, the utility is paying only a monthly fee to Ostara -- less than what it is currently paying to deal with costly maintenance resulting from the damaging buildup of struvite in pipes.
Thames Water didn't need to make any capital investment in the system, Asset Management Director Piers Clark said.

Ceramic thermal barrier coatings are critical to improved engine performance
[Gas Turbine and its Components] If you have ever flown on a jet aircraft or used electricity generated from natural gas, you have benefited from gas turbine technology. The metallic components of gas turbines are protected from the extreme combustion temperatures in part by high performance ceramics known as thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), Figure 1. For the last 30 years, the current industry-standard TBC composition has been 7-8wt% (weight percent) Yttria (YO1.5) Stabilized Zirconia (ZrO2), commonly known as 7YSZ. Both power generation and aviation industries aim to increase the operating temperatures of gas turbines to reap the economic and environmental benefits of improved engine efficiency. Unfortunately 7YSZ has inherent temperature limitations that prevent it from performing well at high (>1300°C) operating temperatures. This has motivated researchers to search for novel TBCs with higher temperature capabilities.
CeO2-, TiO2-stabilized ZrO2 (CeTiSZ) shows promise at 1350°C
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have investigated several systems as alternatives to 7YSZ. The greatest challenge for novel TBC systems is developing materials that are phase stable (i.e. don't undergo harmful phase changes at high temperatures) and have adequate toughness. Often TBCs that are phase stable have low toughness, while TBCs that have adequate toughness are susceptible to phase transformations that degrade performance. In a recent study (referenced below), TBCs in the CeO2-TiO2-ZrO2 system exhibit both phase stability and adequate toughness up to at least 1350°C. In this system the tetragonal phase does not transform, which is critical to maintaining high toughness. Experiments indicate that the new CeTiSZ system has toughness values that are higher than 7YSZ and increase with aging at 1350°C.
Research is ongoing to investigate the performance of CeTiSZ at even higher temperatures
While the results at 1350°C are promising, turbine manufacturers are now interested in developing TBCs that perform well at 1500°C so that they can increase operating temperatures (and thus efficiency) from today's current levels. Therefore, before CeTiSZ is adopted by industry, its performance at higher temperatures must be investigated. If the system's performance at higher temperatures is proven to be resistant to phase changes, it may enable gas turbines to be operated more efficiently, saving energy, fuel costs, and lowering carbon emissions.Author: Chandra Macauley, November 2013

After detailing how the economy has been derailed, HEIST offers a robust Take Action section with real world solutions and up-to-the-minute footage from the current Occupy Wall Street movement--an essential primer for everyday Americans to participate in the restoration of economic fairness and our democracy.
Amongst those featured are Gar Alperovitz, Alan Stuart Blinder, David Brock, Bob Crandall, Rep. Donna Edwards, Leo Gerard, Jakada Imani, David Green, David Cay Johnston, Van Jones, Robert Kuttner, Kimber Lanning, Michael Lind, Lou Mattis, Lawrence Mitchell, Nomi Prins, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Drew Westen. The film is narrated by Thom Hartmann.
Grade Level: 10-12, College, Adult
US Release Date: 2012
Copyright Date: 2011
Reviews"Compelling...This hard-hitting documentary ties together the seemingly separate factors of deregulation, union-busting, eroding pensions, campaign finance, growing inequality, right-wing think tanks, big corporations, and compliant, wrong-headed politicians of both parties to provide an explanation of the recent financial crisis and much more. Finally, the Occupy movement has a platform for addressing the problems that have brought so many people into the streets demanding action." John R. Boatright, Professor of Business Ethics, Professor of Management, Loyola University Chicago, Author, Ethics and the Conduct of Business and Ethics in Finance
"Heist pinpoints and explains those key aspects of our recent history that led to the current deep and lasting economic crisis. It shows dramatically and effectively why we must end the structure of inequality in the US today if we are to avoid repeating the economic crisis in the near future." Richard Wolff, Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Author, Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism (forthcoming)
"A timely, entertaining and provocative film. Its message is that class warfare began decades ago. It has been prosecuted by political elites from both parties and by all three branches of government. It has resulted in reduced taxation of the rich, fewer checks on the excesses of capitalism, a weaker social safety net, fewer worker rights, and a dearth of good American jobs. Students in college-level classes in sociology, political science or economics would benefit from watching and discussing this film." David Cingranelli, Professor of Political Science, Binghamton University, SUNY
"Heist gets to the core of the problems with America: the sell-off of democracy and the hijacking of the American Dream of shared prosperity and the pursuit of happiness. We need to reclaim that dream and create a new vision of a country and a world that have sustainable human well-being as the highest goal, not unsustainable growth of the 1%." Dr. Robert Costanza, Professor of Sustainability, Portland State University, Editor-in-Chief, Solutions
"It's punchy and provocative, and that it speaks with an authentic voice. I think it's important to get it into every multiplex in the land because the issues it raises are basic, controversial, and need to get discussed in every home, luncheonette, drug store, firehouse, and community college in the nation...Heist is a film that gets you going." Morris Berman, CounterPunch
"Politically charged...Live footage of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and a call to get involved politically to change disastrous public policies distinguishes this sharp wake-up call to Americans everywhere, especially those who are struggling the hardest to survive." The Midwest Book Review
"A valuable resource in high school history, economics, or government classes." Rethinking Schools
"Timely and well-organized...Provides an understandable description of the current crisis...This versatile program would be effective in a variety of settings." Dwain Thomas, School Library Journal
"The film provides a crisp, succinct answer to a question that nags most Americans: What the hell happened?" Chuck Bowen, Slant Magazine
"Has the virtue of taking the long view of a crisis that recent films like Inside Job and Too Big to Fail have only sketchily explored. It makes a strong case that government regulation of business is essential for democracy to flourish." Stephen Holden, New York Times
"A persuasive case for the swift reinstatement of watchdog laws to prevent bailed-out Wall Street from turning the America Dream into a neverending nightmare for folks on Main Street." Kam Williams, aalbc.com and Sly Fox Film Reviews
"Causey and Goldmacher's film cogently argues that the economic collapse is a direct result of decades of deregulation in various forms at the service of corporations..." Basil Tsiokos, what (not) to doc
"Heist is well timed as a one-stop summary of reasons for ordinary Americans to be furious at our financial systems. Its last third turns from compiling past outrages to encouraging activism, making this snappy, solid docu an ideal candidate for savvy distribs to jump on immediately. With grassroots marketing, pic could ride the wave of burgeoning Occupy Wall Street-related protests as a ready-made primer." Dennis Harvey, Variety
"Heist rails at death of American middle class" David Wagner, San Francisco Chronicle
"Be sure and see the full film...you'll be surprised by who takes what position, and may end up rethinking some of your own notions." James Huang, WhoWhatWhy
"At a time when many documentaries are done only to further some political agenda, Heist remains true to educating the public and offer solutions, resting the blame with the politicians on both sides of the aisle, large corporations and big banks that have contributed to the demise of the American economy; protecting the rich and leaving the poor to struggle, 'sink or swim.'" Oscar Flores, The Word
"For the last 400 years, there has been an ideology on the American continent that life is, and should be, about hustling...about the unlimited acquisition of money and property. During the last 30 years in particular, this ideology entered a no-holds barred, virulent phase, in which constraints on that vision, and alternatives to it, were almost completely suppressed. Market fundamentalism, the dogma that economic growth is the solution to our problems and that the poor and middle class will not be left behind because of the prosperity that will 'trickle down' to them, became the unquestioned narrative, along with the endless media celebration of globalization. But virtually nothing trickled down, the rich became super-rich, globalization hollowed out American industry, and finally the system came crashing down in 2008. The narrative of the mainstream media proved to be nothing more than a myth. What we have in Heist is a much-needed corrective to this, a counter-narrative, if you will, of what reallyhappened during the last 30 years. The danger is that this brilliant movie, along with those texts that give the lie to the dominant narrative, will be suppressed and marginalized...as is anything courageous enough to challenge the power of the American elite. In the end, the hustling culture destroys everything human, which is what we see happening in America today. Heist is a very real attempt to restore our humanity, and thus needs to have the widest distribution possible." Morris Berman, author, Why America Failed

Is it right that Plasma grid should redirect here? Abbreviations tend to redirect to full titles so strikes me it should be other way around--Archer4real (talk) 10:42, October 27, 2014 (UTC).

- Ok I'll bite, and it's a lean support. First of all, as I understand it abbreviations tend to link to full titles just because policy says they should be spelled out. Since EPS grid doesn't litteraly stand for Plasma grid (but rather Electro-plasma system grid), I don't think that policy demands a change. But, on the other hand, EPS conduit redirects to Plasma conduit, EPS flow regulator to Plasma flow regulator, EPS manifold to Plasma manifold and EPS regulator to Plasma regulator. (In fact, as an aside, researching that stuff I've got some ideas for possible merges to suggest :-D) So the move you're suggesting would make sense for consistency's sake if nothing else. -- Capricorn (talk) 17:01, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

Predicting the Strength of Leonid Outbursts
- 42 Downloads
A simple model is described that predicts the time of occurrences and peak activity of Leonid shower outbursts. It is assumed that the ejection speeds of escaping particles at each return of the parent comet near perihelion are very small, but solar radiation pressure acting differently on different particles causing a spread of particles into different period orbits. Earlier papers predicted the position of the resulting dust trails. This paper sets forth to better predict the strength of the expected outbursts by considering the role of non-isotropic effects in the interaction with the solar radiation on the dispersion of particles away from the dust trail center. This paper determines the approximate magnitude of the relevant effects. Predictions for the next few years are presented that include such considerations, for reasonable assumptions of particle properties. For example, earlier predictions for the 1999 storm of ZHR = 6,000−7,000 are now reduced by a factor of two, which is in better agreement with the observed ZHR ∼ 4,000. The success of the technique, when applied to historic meteor storms and outbursts without need of additional free parameters, lends confidence to the soundness of the underlying model and to its application for future predictions. We predict that the best encounters of this return of the parent-comet will occur in the years 2001 and 2002.

Research Interests
- Mammalian embryogenesis
- Reproductive biology and disease
- Stem cell biology
- Evolution and development
Our research focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that lead to the formation of the mammalian body plan, the genesis of tissues and organs during embryogenesis and the pathology of developmental defects. In addition, we study the genetic mechanisms that result in organ morphology and physiology differences that have evolved between species. We utilize genetic, embryological and comparative approaches.
The mammalian reproductive organs are essential for the continuation of species and are common sites for disease. We are interested in defining the factors that cause the male and female phenotypes, including gonad and reproductive tract differentiation. To facilitate these studies, we have generated transgenic mice expressing novel fluorescent reporters for live-imaging to follow the behaviors of cells during reproductive organ formation. In addition, we are creating mouse models for cancers of the reproductive organs, e.g., the ovary. These mouse models may be useful for understanding the formation of human ovarian cancer and devising therapies.
Stem cells can generate more of themselves (self-renewal) or can produce the different cell types of the body (differentiation). Embryonic stem (ES) cells are derived from pre-implantation embryos and have the potential to form any cell type of the body. Adult stem cells are present in our bodies to replenish cells that wear out (for example red blood cells, skin and even neurons). Adult stem cells can give rise to single or multiple cell types. We are currently genetically modifying human ES cells and other types of stem cells to devise future therapies of human disease.
We are also investigating developmental processes in divergent mammalian systems, including marsupials and chiropterans (bats). Mammalian embryogenesis and reproduction are very diverse between species, comparisons provide novel insights for reproduction, embryonic development and organogenesis. We collaborate with Marilyn Renfree (University of Melbourne) using the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii) model to study sexual differentiation and limb development. Bats also offer a unique system to study the genetic mechanisms that diversify organogenesis. We have collaborated with John Rasweiler (SUNY Downstate) to establish the molecular embryology of the fruit bat, Carollia perspicillata, and are transferring bat genes into mice for functional studies of limb development. Our wallaby and bats studies are supported by field collections on Kangaroo Island, Australia and the island of Trinidad, respectively.
Rats are large laboratory rodents that are useful for studies of physiology, behavior, and other fields of biology. The rat genome has been sequenced, assembled and annotated. One particularly valuable resource to facilitate studies of mammalian gene function that is sorely lacking in the rat system is a large collection of mutants and a continuous source of new mutations. The ability to easily generate new mutant rat strains and to efficiently identify the mutated genes would significantly advance the use of this primary laboratory animal for biomedical research. We have used coat color-tagged transposons (piggyBac and Sleeping Beauty) to generate transgenic rats for random insertional mutagenesis. Our mutagenesis screen should lead to new rat models of human biology and disease.

The history of early manned spaceflights to the moon
Nasa's first human spaceflight programme was Project Mercury.
This ambitious undertaking was launched in 1958 – about a year after the USSR had signified the start of the Space Age with the successful launch of the satellite Sputnik 1. The Mercury missions began the space race in earnest and drew upon the vast resources of the US government and private sector – an estimated two million Americans contributed. Testing the limits of the human body in space was an important objective of both programmes. To this end robots and animals were blasted aloft – most notably Mercury's Ham the chimpanzee and the Soviet dog Laika.
Though Ham returned to Earth and earned a comfortable retirement at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, Laika died aboard Sputnik 2 in 1957.
First humans in space
Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space when he orbited the Earth in a Vostok spacecraft on April 12, 1961. About a month later Alan Shepard Jr became the first American in space on May 5, 1961, when he was launched aboard Mercury-Redstone 3.
His 15-minute flight, dubbed Freedom 7, was watched by some 45 million television viewers.
Between 1961 and 1963, six manned spacecraft flew as part of the Mercury project.
Mercury pilots rode in wingless capsules, which detached from their launch rocket and fell back to Earth.
The small craft were designed to withstand the tremendous temperatures of re-entering the planet's atmosphere and also survive a dramatic splashdown in the ocean.
Just a few weeks after Shepard's flight, President John F. Kennedy announced his intent to put a man on the Moon by the end of the decade.
The challenge signalled the birth of Nasa's Gemini and Apollo missions. Yet Mercury had more to accomplish.
In February 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth on the Friendship 7 mission.
Nasa's Gemini programme was designed to refine spacecraft so that they could perform rendezvous, docking and other advanced manoeuvres that would be necessary to land an astronaut on the moon and return to Earth.
As the missions of this era grew longer, astronauts became more adept at living within their spacecraft and even venturing outside it.
Soviet cosmonaut Aleksei Leonov became the first person to exit an orbiting spacecraft in March 1965.
Moon landing
The launch of the Apollo missions precipitated an American triumph in the space race and was a major first in space exploration.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin became the first people to reach the moon when they touched their lunar lander down in the Sea of Tranquility.
Before the Apollo project ended in 1972, five other missions visited the moon.
The Apollo spacecraft included a command/service module, which could orbit the moon, and a lunar module that astronauts could detach, land on the surface and then blast off to rejoin the orbiting command module for the return tripto Earth.
Later missions carried a lunar rover that could be driven across the satellite's surface and saw astronauts spend as long as three days on the moon.
The Apollo missions achieved tremendous successes, but they came with a terrible cost.
Astronauts Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward White, and Roger Chaffee were killed in a launch pad fire during training before the first Apollo flight.
When the Apollo missions ended in 1972, the first era of human space exploration closed.

Single Pillowcase
Enjoy a luxurious nights sleep as you lay your head against the finest 22 momme, 100% pure mulberry silk in moody midnight black.
Not only will you be guaranteed the most comfortable sleep, but your hair will continue to have that just-blowdried-bounce and your skin will look refreshed and smooth the next day. 100% pure silk pillowcases allow your skin to slide over the surface as you turn throughout the night - this eliminates creasing across the surface of your skin which results in premature ageing.
Each single silk pillowcase is made to fit both international standard queen (50cm x 70cm) and king (50cm x 90cm) pillow inserts. What makes Shhh Silk pillowcases extra special, aside from the superior quality, is the unique zip-closure that stops them from sliding off throughout the night - no other silk pillowcases offer this feature in Australia. Your pillows will always look neat, tidy and elegant nestled on your bed.
International Certification: OEKO-TEX Standard 100
Care Instructions:
Keep your pillowcase looking new by washing on a warm, gentle machine cycle inside your Shhh Silk wash bag. Shhh Silk pillowcases are dry cleanable and can be ironed inside-out using a cool iron.

Dennis Technology Labs Names Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 the Best Solution in its Class
Dennis Technology Labs Names Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 the Best Solution in its Class
Woburn, MA –October 26, 2012 –Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of security and threat management solutions, is pleased to announce that Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 was ranked as the best performing product in the Home Anti-Virus Protection category of Dennis Technology Labs' comprehensive assessment of Internet security suites. Including products from eight top security vendors, the independent testing was conducted in the summer of 2012 and placed the Kaspersky Lab's then-current product as the leader in its class.
The overall score for the Kaspersky Lab solution was an impressive 390.5 out of a possible 400 – the highest score among all home user solutions tested, earning Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 Dennis Technology Labs' top AAA award.
The testing focused primarily on the ability of each software suite to protect users from real-life Internet threats. Each product was pitted against known malicious websites to check how effectively the products prevented users from accessing these dangerous sites. The tests also evaluated each product's ability to detect and neutralize threats trying to infect the system, and for removing malware from already-infected systems.
The results of this test placed the Kaspersky Lab's solution in first place with a near-perfect score of 298 out of 300 – the average for all products tested was less than 240. Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 was the only product that successfully prevented all threats from compromising the system, scoring 100 out of 100. The analysts also carried out false positive testing, in which blocking a legitimate application was deemed more serious than issuing a warning. This was not an issue for Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 which generated a small number of false warnings without blocking legitimate software, scoring 92.5 points out of 100.
As the Dennis Technology Lab testing concluded in August, Kaspersky Lab announced the latest versions of its consumer software for 2013. The current version of Kaspersky Internet Security includes all the protection and features evaluated by Dennis Technology Labs, and includes new enhancements. Two of the most notable enhancements in Kaspersky Internet Security are Safe Money - Kaspersky Lab's unique technology designed to protect the user's money when shopping and banking online – and Automatic Exploit Prevention – which monitors and protects against vulnerabilities in out-of-date programs installed on your PC.
Oleg Ishanov, Director of Anti-Malware Research
Kaspersky Lab
"Every day millions of people are subjected to hidden attacks when using the Internet, which is why it's essential for today's security software to effectively protect users from online threats. We are confident that when Dennis Technology Labs tests the new version of our product, it will be able to repeat this outstanding result."
A summary of the test results for home user solutions is available on the official Dennis Technology Labs site at: http://www.dennistechnologylabs.com/reports/s/a-m/2012/DTL_2012_Q3_Home.pdf

Usher filed court papers in which he affirms his role as a father, denies canceling Tameka's credit card, and maintains his desire for joint custody.
They'll be going to court on February 27th to hash things out, so stay linked to the GossipCenter for the latest on this developing story.

Nine's push, Meakin on struggling Project, Harold Mitchell
Controversial plans for
Ten's chief executive
Speculation has been swirling for several months that a combined Ten-Foxtel sales unit could be announced or ready to launch by July this year.
MCN chief executive
Executives from Ten and MCN would not comment on the state of the venture although it is understood there is still willingness from both sides to continue pursuing options. "There might be some developments in the next month or two that could bring it back front and centre," said one executive familiar with the proposal.
Some of the largest media buying groups said they remained cautiously supportive of a Ten-Foxtel advertising sales joint venture. The contrast in fortunes between Ten and Foxtel on the advertising front is stark. New figures from Ernst & Young show pay TV ad revenues increased 15.4 per cent to $262.9 million for the December 2013 half, putting pay TV on track to breakthrough $500 million in annual advertising revenues for the first time.
Ten, meanwhile, has been bleeding market share revenues to Seven and Nine and ad growth for FTA networks overall was around 2 per cent last year.
Equity stake
Ten had indicated to MCN that it would want an equity stake in a joint venture between the two, which would sell more than $1 billion in television advertising, putting it on a par with market leaders Seven and Nine Entertainment Co. Seven wrote to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission in September after the Australian Financial Review revealed the partnerships talks. Seven argued against any consolidation between free-to-air and pay television.
MCN is 75 per cent owned by Foxtel and 25 per cent owned by Fox Sports. News Corporation effectively controls MCN through News Corp Australia's 50 per cent shareholding in Foxtel and 100 per cent stake in Fox Sports. Ten is chaired by
MCN sells advertising on behalf of Foxtel's myriad television channels and its websites. It also sells advertising across the Telstra's media assets, including Big Pond (Telstra holds the other 50 per cent of Foxtel).
Meanwhile, MCN is leading the charge among TV broadcasters to launch automated airtime trading in April, a move which is likely to eventually cut trading desk headcounts for media agencies and media owners by up to 25 per cent although they plan to redeploy people to higher margin revenue initiatives. Nine Network is also thought to be close to unveiling a new airtime booking and trading system.

The DWE7491RS is the largest of three table saws introduced by DeWalt in 2013. It has a number of improved features but its main claims to fame are a rock-steady stand, a 32 1/2-inch rip capacity, and a guard with its own dust port. I wrote about this saw after seeing it previewed at a DeWalt event last August, but that's not the same as using it on a day-to-day basis. The manufacturer sent me a saw early this year and I gave it to finish carpenter Jesse Wright so he could put it to work on one of his projects. After using it for a month he invited me to the jobsite and I shot a video (see below) in which he describes the pros and cons of the machine.
DWE7491RS Specs
- Motor: 15 amps
- No load speed: 4,800 rpm
- Blade diameter: 10"

How does Huck grow as a person? What life lessons does he learn from his encounters on the river?im writing a 5 paragragh essay and need 5 quotes and i have gone completly brain dead
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
Huck learns responsibility:
He is immature at first, playing practical jokes on Jim, treating him the way Tom Sawyer would--as an inferior toy. However, Jim teaches him to be responsible and to care about other people's feelings. Recall the rattle snake incident when Jim got bitten by a dead snake's mate. Recall the fog incident when Jim was worried sick whether or not Huck was all right, but he thought it was hilarious to lie to him that it was just a dream. For the first time he learns to apologize to a slave, and that a slave is just like anyone else and deserves respect.
Huck learns about love:
His father was an abusive drunk. He did not teach Huck any good values, did not allow him to get an education, taught him how to steal, neglected him, and regularly and brutally abused him. Huck had to stage an elaborate plot of his own death just to escape from Pap's abuse.
However, Jim teaches what it is like to be loved. Each night he keeps Huck's watch and lets Huck sleep, he calls him "honey" and is always nice to him. He teaches him values of respect, friendship, and loyalty. For the first time, Huck has a father figure who shows him what love feels like. He grows emotionally by developing a bond and care with someone.
Huck learns morals--what is right and wrong:
This is the major inner conflict. All along he has been torn by the decision whether or not to turn Jim in to the slave catchers. At first, he saves Jim because he needs him. Huck is lonely and prefers to have company when he runs away from Pap. Later on, he lies to the slave catchers that his family has the small pox on the raft and deters them, but he says that whether he tells the truth or lies, either way he would have felt terrible, so he'll do whatever comes easier. This is a child talking. Finally, in the end, when he tears up the letter to Miss Watson telling her where Jim was, he DECIDES to damn his soul to hell in order to protect Jim. This is a much more mature decision. He has developed a love for Jim, and consciously decides to go against the teachings of his society and PAY A PRICE for it--go to hell. His motive this time is not a selfish one, but a selfless one--for his friend Jim.

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Hello. This is Dr. Christian. I'd like to help.
When did the bloating start? Is he eating well and passing normal stool?
How long ago did he get over the parvo?
Has he had any vomiting?
Good. It sounds like he is doing great.
Some bloating is normal in puppies, especially after they eat but my suspicion is that some worms are still present and causing the bloating.
A second deworming may be needed.
Bloat wouldn't occur in a puppy this young so don't worry about that.
Usually 2 weeks between dewormings.
If he starts vomiting, acting lethargic, develops diarrhea or won't eat then I'd have him srechecked.
I can understand your worry. If his belly becomes more bloated looking than have him checked but it sounds like he is doing great, especially considering what he's gone through.
That sounds like a very good plan. It won't hurt to deworm him a little earlier than 2 weeks.
It wouldn't be a bad idea since they know his case so well. I'm sure they'd like an update on his progress.
I know I would in their situation.
It doesn't sound like that to me at all.
Bloat doesn't occur at this age and symptoms would be vomiting and lethargy.
You're welcome. How much does he weigh?
Probably 1/2 to 3/4 cup per day at most.
You're welcome. I'm glad I could help. Good luck and good night.

Yes - I'm pretty sure you're hitting the maximum of ~4000 state
table
entries. That's the default value for ipfilter, and can unfortunately
not be changed
without recompiling the kernel.

Since m0n0wall wasn't initially meant for high volume setups
like
yours, the state/NAT hash table sizes and maximums were just left at
their default
values. I posted a message to m0n0wall-dev about two
weeks ago, asking people who'd like to help
with m0n0wall to figure
out what increasing the state and NAT table sizes would entail
in
terms of memory and CPU requirements (especially for small embedded
PCs). The goal would be
being able to increase the table sizes to
something on the order of 80000 to cover all but the
biggest setups
with a single image per platform. I haven't seen a response yet.

The new album from Thinking Aloud: OROGENY
Orogeny features twelve new (and new-ish) tracks including 'Whispers To The Wind', 'Sacramento Springtime', and 'Worth The Wait'. For me it's the conclusion of the journey started in "Syncline".
Thinking Aloud is just me, recording some of my own songs. They're usually piano-driven, acoustic or rocky, with meanderings in other directions as the mood dictates. In addition to the piano, you'll find the occasional Mellotron, flute, cello and symphony orchestra creeping in from time to time.
In the player on the left is a selection of songs I've crafted, some new, some not-so-new, and some dating from the 80s and 90s that have been given a rework, but all recorded or re-recorded since 2006. I've home-produced a handful of CDs (I'm a bit of a traditionalist - I like to group songs into coherent assemblages, and have something tangible to hold in my hand), and contributed rock and orchestral arrangements and recordings to a few other productions, details of which you'll find on the various pages of this site.
So have a look around, have a listen, and hopefully enjoy. My only aim is to make the kind of music I'd like to listen to - hopefully you'll like it too!
And that's it: Thinking Aloud in all its glory - not the best piano-player in the world, not the best singer in the world, not trying to be famous or anything, just music for the fun of it.

At the Comprehensive Thoracic Oncology Program, we are fortunate to have the support of the Eliana Program for our patient navigator. From the first sign of an abnormality, patients can experience an enormous amount of pre-treatment testing. This level of testing continues through the confirmation of a diagnosis and preparation for multimodal treatment, which is distributed across various disciplines or among a range of providers. Some testing procedures are complex and unpleasant for the patient. Among the most common tests are MRIs, CAT scans, and stress tests in nuclear medicine. In addition, bronchoscopies, esophagoscopies, and mediastinoscopies must often be completed before main treatment begins. Coordination of care, and attentive care, are critical to creating positive patient experiences. Carefully coordinated care is also essential to ensuring timely procedures throughout the treatment process, and, ultimately, to promote better outcomes. To ensure that this fundamental aspect of optimal treatment is provided, the Eliana Center has hired a dedicated patient navigator. The key functions of the patient navigator are:
