Yes, I am having this issue too...any suggestions on how to have it bypass the arrow?
2. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5hello1966 Jul 30, 2012 2:28 AM (in response to Kurrykid)
No, Unfortunately not. And you?
3. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5Kurrykid Jul 30, 2012 6:43 AM (in response to hello1966)
I haven't been able to bypass having to click to start but I was able to remove the arrow and replace that image with an image that looks like my quiz and says click here to start. It took some code modifications and lots of testing but it is much better than it was.
4. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5hello1966 Jul 30, 2012 7:28 AM (in response to Kurrykid)
Well, that is one possibility. I have the content in a lms, with SCORM implemented. When the student start in the lms the content it think it is very bad, if they have to start a second time! Above all, I still use the table of contents, which looks even more stupid. This is not professional.
5. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5guitaristtuckty Jul 30, 2012 9:53 AM (in response to hello1966)
If you want autoplay with HTML5, edit index.html and find function DoCPInit(). After CPPostInit(), add the lines
This will sort of automatically press the play button for you on load. Please note that this will cause problems with audio if you are using IOS. This is because of apple's standards - https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/Using_HTML 5_Audio_Video/Device-SpecificConsiderations/Device-SpecificConsiderations.html#//apple_ref /doc/uid/TP40009523-CH5-SW1
I disabled autoplay for a captivate project I use as a course menu, and I had no problems because there was no audio in the background. However, with projects that have background audio, I just have to get used to the big play button.

Hey Kurrykid;
I am really curious about your arrow image swap solution. It sounds like something that will work for me. Can you explain it a little. Specifically what image did you swap (was it the PlayIcon in the Playbar folder? If so how did you size it correctly?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
7. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5Kurrykid Aug 4, 2012 8:43 PM (in response to StevePixel)
Hi Steve,
It took quite a bit of digging into the code to solve this. I had to modify the Index.html file and a CSS file (CPLibrary.css). This css file determines the size and image name and the Index file is checking for the correct browser (and will throw an error...at least how I am using it). It also causes the play button to be centered.
What I did was created an image the size of the screen (1024x768) and "pasted" the play arrow on top of it. So I replace the play Icon image with my image with the play arrow. Here's some details: Edit the index.html to #1 Remove the Browser check #2 Remove the code that is causing the play arrow to be centered.
On the CSS side, you need to change the code in the CPLibrary.css file to reflect the new image file and the size. #1 shows the original and #2 shows it edited:
So what happens now is I get a screen that looks like the first page of my quiz with a play button on it. I click it and the quiz begins. Not the best way to do it but it's a decent workaround.
I hope it makes sense and it helps.

Hey Dave;
Thanks for the detailed answer. Makes total sense ! Appreciate your time and expertise.

10. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5Mike McCauley Feb 26, 2013 2:59 PM (in response to Kurrykid)
Hello Dave,
Do you know of a way to make to make this permanent? I modified the CSS library and deleted code in the Captivate source html but it keeps moving the file to the left of center when I publish.
11. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5Kurrykid Feb 26, 2013 3:14 PM (in response to Mike McCauley)
Are you updating the files you changed and saved to your webserver? Also, you may need to clear your cache. That's about the only things I can think of as to why the changes wouldn't be permanent.
12. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5ryan.vontrapp Sep 6, 2013 8:38 AM (in response to Kurrykid)
I opened up the HTML template in <installed directory>\HTML and added the following line of code at the bottom of the script (just above "</script>"):
The play button still loads, but the cp.movie.play() command happens so fast that you don't even notice the play button.
13. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5BarbaraFEWW Nov 14, 2013 6:37 AM (in response to hello1966)
Is there a way to eliminate existence of the start arrow? I am using 6.0 and outputing to HTML5 with Autoplay and Preload checked but the program doesn't start automatically - the user must press start. I don't want to change the image, I want the start arrow to be eliminated.
14. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5dt4pt Nov 14, 2013 7:14 AM (in response to BarbaraFEWW)
I'm using CP7 and would be keen to know how to get rid of the start arrow once and for all. A solution that requires implementation each time I publish isn't going to be viable.
15. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5jeanrouge Oct 4, 2014 6:52 AM (in response to dt4pt)
By the way if you are using CP 8 and need to achieve a similar effect let me know and I will show you the required steps
16. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5IdeaTrack Nov 12, 2014 3:32 AM (in response to jeanrouge)
jeanrouge - hey I'm using Captivate 8 and I can't get the bloody thing to autoplay. When I load the published files in Chrome from my web server it doesn't autoplay! It just sits there with the playbar.
Please show me the required steps!
17. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5Randall Fujimoto Dec 18, 2014 12:51 PM (in response to IdeaTrack)
In Captivate 8, I opened up index.html and added:
at the end of "function initializeCP()" right after the line "cpInit();"
Now, there is no play button at the start on tablet and mobile versions. Hope that was what you were looking for.
18. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5jeanrouge Jan 15, 2015 12:53 PM (in response to Randall Fujimoto)
Could you please add a screenshot of the location of cp.movie.play()
I tried adding it as you mentioned but the movie doesn't load anymore it just sits there with the loader spinning.
20. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5jeanrouge Jan 15, 2015 3:05 PM (in response to Randall Fujimoto)
Thanks a Million
Works like a charm
21. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5GMOMike Feb 5, 2015 3:00 PM (in response to hello1966)
Thanks Kurrykid for the detailed workaround. I have Captivate 8 and am having this problem as well, but I think my LMS (Docebo), being over-zealous about security, strips out the window.cp script object. So I can't just use cp.movie.play();
I'm hoping there's a way I can use HTML5 so that I can avoid Flash for mobile devices, but I'm finding that in Chrome, HTML5 can't be made to autoplay, in Firefox, it throws up the Unsupported Browser box (disabled this with $("#CPUnSupportedBrowserWarning_ID").remove();)
I don't mind editing code a little, but I need some kind of workaround: my users aren't going to know what to do. I was originally hoping to have my own simplified buttons on each slide but I don't see a good practical way around the default playbar.
Can anyone from Adobe chime in on this issue? I would like to see if I can verify that the LMS is stripping out Javascript in the SCORM file. Thanks so much for any help!
22. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5windscorpion Feb 6, 2015 5:52 AM (in response to GMOMike)
Put an alert('hi'); into the javascript, you will see if the javascript is being run or not then
23. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5GMOMike Feb 6, 2015 8:48 AM (in response to windscorpion)
Hi windscorpion thanks so much for responding - Javascript is working, it's the window.cp object that is getting stripped out. Sorry, I shouldn't have made it sound as if ALL js was getting removed. ScormCloud LMS lets me interact with window.cp, but not Docebo.
Does anyone know an alternate way of getting that movie to play without access to the cp object? Thanks again
24. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5RBurke82 Mar 5, 2015 2:25 PM (in response to guitaristtuckty)
I'm sorry. Where is the index.html file? Is it in the Captivate project or in the published files? Thanks
25. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5Lilybiri Mar 5, 2015 2:43 PM (in response to RBurke82)
With the Published files.
26. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5RBurke82 Mar 5, 2015 2:59 PM (in response to RBurke82)
Hey GMOMike,
I just tried adding the cp.movie.play() to the index_SCORM.html file as suggested above and this worked in Docebo (in Chrome), so apparently it is not getting stripped out of Docebo.
However, Firefox and IE still throw the error message. I want to try $("#CPUnSupportedBrowserWarning_ID").remove();) as you suggested, but I don't know where you put that. Can you maybe include a screen shot of your code?
Here is mine (this is what worked for my HTML5 project in Docebo/Chrome)
27. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5RBurke82 Mar 6, 2015 1:33 PM (in response to RBurke82)
Ok, for everyone struggling with this issue I hopefully have a fix (it worked for me so hopefully it works for you too).
I made my HTML5 project autoplay in Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Safari by adding some code. This worked great EXCEPT Firefox kept giving me the error mentioned above, so I added some additional code to strip out the error message. Works like a charm now in all four browsers (thanks to our development team who looked at the code for me). If you haven't been following the thread, this code should be added to the index.html file in our collection of output files you get after publishing the project (the screen shot shows the middle section of the index.html file).
One more note: in order for me to even edit this file, I had to tell my OS to open the index.html file with Notepad (by default, it wanted to open in my browser, which does you no good). Good luck!
28. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5GMOMike Mar 6, 2015 1:53 PM (in response to RBurke82)
Hey RBurke82, this is great, thanks. You're right. I was looking at what Docebo was doing too simply. It isn't stripping it out, just encapsulating it several layers down so it's hard to get to from the console.
I'm going to have to try your solution - it would seem like something you could put into the Index.html file in the Captivate folder's HTML folder BEFORE you create your SCORM files.
I've been running a regular expression in a text editor after-the-fact:
In the CPM.js file, first I replace:
,showRuntimeWarning:function(a,c,e){log("browser warning: ",a,c,e)}};
That keeps the warning present; it just puts it into a console log instead of an obtrusive dialog box that would frighten users.
Next, I replace:
That provides a universal console log if they don't have Firefox Firebug extension.
I do already have the fastclick.js fix applied. I found that somewhere else in this forum. That fixed the autoplay issue with Chrome browser for me.
Now, I have a question for you. If you're using Docebo LMS, are you also having any trouble with URLs? There are several ways to link to an address from within Captivate, and all of them seem to be thwarted by Docebo.
Thanks again for your help

The good news is that this works. The not-so-good news is that it blows by the invisible checkbox I inserted with the "Pause project until user clicks" option, meant as a way of stopping the timeline. I had the checkbox enter after 1 second, to eliminate conflict with the code, but the slides advance, anyway.

I got the CP movie to play automatically on mobile but I'm not getting audio with it. Any suggestion to get the audio to play? When I had to tap the play button to run the CP on mobile, I got everything but now that it plays automatically, there's no audio. Thanks for any help!
32. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5bartk67848914 Apr 11, 2016 11:02 AM (in response to Express1999)
Same here. Removing the play button using the method above breaks any video functionality in my particular project. There has to be a better way.

38. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5GMOMike Sep 28, 2016 11:27 AM (in response to arunshete)
Autoplay in HTML5 was resolved with Captivate 9, I believe. Until then, the solution I provided above was working OK for us. I think Docebo was being overzealous about security during one of its releases but it also seems to be OK at this point.
As far as bookmarking is concerned, I haven't had any trouble with that in SCORM. My LMS has finally started supporting Tin Can (xAPI) and bookmarking doesn't seem to work in THAT.
39. Re: Autoplay with HTML 5jeanrouge Oct 8, 2016 8:30 PM (in response to b.rembrandt)

Room 13 International (www.room13international.com) is TBWA's long-supported CSR initiative, which represents a growing network of student-run arts studios in schools and community settings worldwide. The story of Room 13 began in 1994, when a group of students established their own art studio in Room 13, Caol Primary School near Fort William, Scotland. They ran the studio as a business, raising funds to buy art materials and employ a professional Artist in Residence to work with them. Slowly and organically, Room 13 has gone on to establish a network of creative studios and a thriving community of young artists and entrepreneurial thinkers that stretches around the globe.
TBWA\Greater China has supported Room13 locally since 2008. More than 100 local children and all TBWA\Shanghai staffs are involved in Room 13. New projects are launched quarterly to fund money, connecting the children and staffs, and generating more creativity and sparks.
In October 2016, a team of volunteers from across the TBWA collective participated in SIYEZA (meaning "we are coming" in isiZulu)—a five-day photo-adventure across South Africa. TBWA teams, led by Emmanuel Andre, President, International at TBWA Worldwide, visited five different Room 13 studios to teach photography skills to Room 13 students and raise crucial funds for the studios in South Africa. In addition to his "day job," Andre is an accomplished photographer whose portraits have been published and featured in galleries around the world.
The Room 13 exhibition included photographs featuring the young people of South African townships who participated in SIYEZA. The sessions aimed to unlock the talents of young people by giving them a rare opportunity to learn photography skills and explore their own creative intuitions.

Inflation fell back to zero in July while household spending dropped again, official data showed Friday, with the disappointing numbers sure to stoke speculation that the central bank will unleash more stimulus.
Core inflation, excluding volatile fresh food prices, was flat year-on-year, the internal affairs ministry said, as a result of lower fuel prices and other energy costs.
Household spending also fell 0.2 percent in July after declining 2.0 percent in the previous month, the ministry said.
The two monthly drops followed a strong rise of 4.8 percent in May that offered some hope for spending after consumers snapped their wallets shut in the wake of a consumption tax rate hike last year.
The sales levy increase — the country's first in 17 years — was aimed at taming the huge national debt. Instead, it slammed the brakes on consumer spending and pushed the world's number three economy into a brief recession.
While Japanese economic growth crawled out of the red in the last quarter of 2014, the economy turned negative again with a 0.4 percent contraction in the three months to June due to a slowdown in China, weak consumer spending at home and slowing exports after two consecutive quarters of growth.
Revised second-quarter figures are due next month.
Analysts have pointed to China — a major trading partner with Japan — as a red flag amid worries over the health of the world's second largest economy and a stock market bloodbath that has sent global equity markets into a free fall.
The inflation figures on Friday are way below the Bank of Japan's 2 percent inflation target and are sure to boost expectations that it will expand its already record ¥80 trillion ($640 billion) annual asset-buying plan to counter the downturn.
"The 2 percent inflation target no longer stands a chance of being achieved by early next year. It seems likely that the BOJ will have to launch additional easing," said Junichi Makino, a chief economist at SMBC Nikko Securities.
Earlier this week, BOJ Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda held out the possibility of more monetary easing measures.
"At this stage, we have no concrete proposal for further accommodation. But if necessary, we will certainly make (an) . . . adjustment," Kuroda said in a speech delivered in New York.
The slowdown comes more than two years after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe launched a policy blitz, dubbed 'Abenomics,' to kick-start anemic growth and conquer years of deflation.
The program called for big government spending, massive BOJ monetary easing and reforms to cut red tape in Japan's highly-regulated economy — reforms that have now stalled, however.
"Japan's economy isn't looking good," Yoshiki Shinke, an economist at Dai-ichi Life Research Institute, told Bloomberg News.
"Private consumption and exports are much weaker than what the Bank of Japan saw a few months ago."
Core consumer prices are likely to remain below year — earlier levels "for the foreseeable future" due to the decline in oil prices, Shinke said.
"There's a good chance for additional monetary easing in October," he added.
Despite the weak figures, Japan's labor market remained tight with the unemployment rate inching down 0.1 point to 3.3 percent in July, according to separate figures also released Friday.
A closely watched labor index also released Friday was at its strongest level in 23 years, at 121 job offers for every 100 people looking for work.

In short order, the AFC West has become a quarterback division and comparisons to Peyton Manning in Denver, Philip Rivers in San Diego and Carson Palmer in Oakland will be natural and easy.
But a renewed spirit in Chiefs camp also adds pressure to everyone on the roster as Kansas City arguably has the most talent on their roster as anyone in a division that is winnable by any one of the four teams.
Simply put – everyone wants to win!
The truth of the matter is that Chiefs Nation should take a wait and see approach with Cassel.
Limited to nine games in 2011 and injuries - including his own – greatly hampered his ability to live up to a monster 2010 season where high expectations were set.
Two years ago, Cassel was aided by a solid running game. That made him more effective as a starting quarterback. In 2010, the Chiefs ran the ball 555-times for a 4.7-yard per carry average. Last season, essentially without Jamaal Charles for the entire campaign rushed 487-times with an average tote of 3.9-yards.
Running effectively on first down cuts down on passing downs and the pressure of forcing balls into traffic to try and make plays. The inability to have any kind of play-action game cuts the field down for defenses, which again leads to poor decisions knowing that the only way to move the ball was through the passing game.
Under new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, the Chiefs will go "old school". In a pass happy National Football League Kansas City will ground and pound. A revamped offensive line, a healthy (we hope and pray) Jamaal Charles and the addition of depth at running back in Peyton Hillis –who had his best season as a pro in Cleveland under Daboll in 2010 are all reasons to be optimistic about improved play from Cassel this season.
There are however some factors going in to camp that are troubling. Namely no Dwayne Bowe as of right now and how long will it take tight end Tony Moeaki to be healthy and contribute.
Cassel told me in an interview during mini-camp that it takes all 11 guys on offense, and while the competitor in him says he can put a team on his shoulders and win, it's just not realistic.
Many Chiefs fans will roll their eyes and scoff at the comment as passing the buck from his poor 2011 performance. I however take it for what it is – the truth.
Let's all just wait and see.
Dave Barr is a 19-year sports radio veteran who has worked for ESPN, Sporting News Radio and in markets like Cincinnati, Little Rock and Tulsa. Currently Barr is the program director for 1450 The Score in Joplin, Missouri and hosts the A.M. Grind weekday mornings from 6-9am. Want more Dave follow him @Daveabarr on Twitter.
Will Chiefs fans every buy into the fact Cassel is the quarterback of the present and future?

Senator Squadron, Senator Adams, Elected officials, and Community Members Advocates Urge Albany Special Session on Gun Violence
After Bloodshed Around NYC, Squadron and Advocates Call on Albany to Pass Critical Gun Control Bills, at Site of Recent Shooting
NEW YORK – Today, State Senator Daniel Squadron joined community and elected officials and advocates to urge a special legislative session in Albany to address the crisis of gun violence in New York City and around the state.
This year, 1,329 people have been injured or killed by guns in New York City alone. Early Monday morning, a young man was shot in the leg on the grounds of Campos Plaza; the perpetrator has not been indentified and remains on the loose.
At the site of the recent shooting at Campos Plaza, Squadron and the coalition called on legislators to immediately return to Albany to vote on a package of gun control bills that would make New York 's gun laws the strongest in the country. Among the bills are Squadron-Rosenthal legislation to broaden the definition of "assault weapon" to include a number of military-style guns, legislation to ensure the microstamping of shell casings, a bill to limit the number of guns an individual can purchase to one-per-month, and measures to close loopholes in background checks.
As discussions continue about a possible special legislative session on a number of issues, including a pay raise for legislators, Squadron has been urging focus on these critical gun control measures.
Senator Adams states: "This year, gun violence has been very prevalent in New York City. These incidents compel responsible legislators and community members to combat the scourge of gun violence. As legislators, we must collaborate on solutions to make our City a safer place. We have the duty to protect our citizens from the disastrous effects of gun violence."


text: I had my aux input installed a little over a month ago by the dealer while I was getting work done on my car. I never tested the aux input because I didn't have a MP3 player at the time and I never thought that it wouldn't work. Now I find out that when I scroll through the mode functions, I don't have access to the AUX IN function. I just have RADIO and CD. Any thoughts to why this may not work? Did the dealer mess up the install? When I go through the sound options, I get BASS, TREBLE, FADE, etc... and a TONE LIN that says OK near it. Any suggestions. I'll probably bring it back to the dealer to get fixed but I hate the hassle.

My surgery is schedule for Aug 28, 2012 i am very excited to get my tt and bbl. I had a baby 1 year and a half ago and i want to look and feel better. This will also help the path of my career i am trying to achieve. I cant wait to see the final results. I know it wont be easy at first but once i am able to exercise and continue my normal life, i am going to put so much effort into making my results even better.
My surgery is schedule for Aug 28, 2012 i am very...
So today is july 1st and its getting closer to my...
So today is july 1st and its getting closer to my surgery. I am super excited, i am doing a lot of research throught this website to see how many ccs i would like for my bbl. I am comparing myself to the before pictures in this site. I am thinking i want 900 ccs in each buttock. However i still have to talk to my doc about it and see his reconmendation. I just see that theres a lot of woman who say they dont see much of a difference and that is a concern for me. I am going to try and post before pics.
So i am 4 weeks post and i am feeling 90 percent...
So i am 4 weeks post and i am feeling 90 percent better, im still a little swollen but overall im doing great. I went back to work when i was 3 weeks post, my job is a standing job but i felt good enough to continue. My results are incredible im very happy with my results. My scar is healing extremely well also, the ends of the scar like by each hip is taking longer then the rest but that is completely normal. So for my bbl, well im pleased with the results its not as big as i wanted it to be but it has def made a difference. I like the difference you can see in the clothes i wear. I got 650 in each buttock! I will be posting pics of me with clothes and later on i will post of my actual belly. Oh and my belly button is also healing good, at first i was worried cause it looked weird but he told me to put a ear plug in it and so i have been. And it does work!! I recommend Dr. Alkon he is very good at what he does.
My tummy
So this is me 16 months later. I have to continue eating well and attending the gym as much as possible.
Back and butt
My buttocks has stayed and I haven't list one bit of it. So happy with the results still after 16 months.
A year and half later jan 2014
So I want to update a year as half later of my Ty & bbl. I am still very happy with my results. I still work out 3-4 x a week and I try to eat healthy 85 % of the time. My stomach is still flat and I love my results.
My plump butt
I never lost volume and so grateful for that. I always had this shape it was just plumped a lot more. Bbl"s take the shape that you already have and just enlarge it. So my advice for woman who want a bbl but don't necessarily a have the shape they want is just be realistic and don't expect something unrealistic.
i am scheduled for a TT and BBL. I am unsure of how many CC's put into each buttock. I want to see a big difference. I am considering 650 ccs and i hope this is enough for what im looking to get.

Andover Historic Houses - Abbot Homestead
From Andover Answers
The Abbot Homestead, located at the corner of Andover Street and Argilla Road, was thought to have been built circa 1685. Benjamin Abbot, the first owner of the house, accused neighbor Martha Carrier, "Queen of Hell," of witchcraft after a boundary dispute. Carrier was executed in 1692. The Public Television Station program "History Detectives" examined wood borings taken from the beams of the house and determined that it was actually built between 1703 and 1708.

My daughter loves her Degas leotards, the colours and fabrics are unusual and so comfortable. The leotards fit like a glove. She now only wears her Degas leotards because they make her feel so special as they flatter her body and they are not available in the local dance shops so she feel like she has something very exclusive. The customer service from Linda is great with super fast shipping for in stock items. Initially it was a bit of trial and error to find a perfect fit and exchanges all the way from Australia have been no problem at all. We just love Degas Leotards.

Listen, ladies, while I sing
The ballad of John Henry King.
John Henry was a bachelor,
His age was thirty-three or four.
Two maids for his affection vied,
And each desired to be his bride,
And bravely did they strive to bring
Unto their feet John Henry King.
John Henry liked them both so well,
To save his life he could not tell
Which he most wished to be his bride,
Nor was he able to decide.
Fair Kate was jolly, bright, and gay,
And sunny as a summer day;
Marie was kind, sedate, and sweet,
With gentle ways and manners neat.
Each was so dear that John confessed
He could not tell which he liked best.
He studied them for quite a year,
And still found no solution near,
And might have studied two years more
Had he not, walking on the shore,
Conceived a very simple way
Of ending his prolonged delay--
A way in which he might decide
Which of the maids should be his bride.
He said, "I'll toss into the air
A dollar, and I'll toss it fair;
If heads come up, I'll wed Marie;
If tails, fair Kate my bride shall be."
Then from his leather pocket-book
A dollar bright and new he took;
He kissed one side for fair Marie,
The other side for Kate kissed he.
Then in a manner free and fair
He tossed the dollar in the air.
"Ye fates," he cried, "pray let this be
A lucky throw indeed for me!"
The dollar rose, the dollar fell;
He watched its whirling transit well,
And off some twenty yards or more
The dollar fell upon the shore.
John Henry ran to where it struck
To see which maiden was in luck.
But, oh, the irony of fate!
Upon its edge the coin stood straight!
And there, embedded in the sand,
John Henry let the dollar stand!
And he will tempt his fate no more,
But live and die a bachelor.
Thus, ladies, you have heard me sing
The ballad of John Henry King.

File Extension QRP
File extension QRP is mostly derived when files are generated through the QuickReport application. QuickReport files may contain images, graphs, text, and fields that can be attached to an email and later printed. Along with other Delphi report generators, QuickReport exceeds the functionality of other applications making it one of the mostly used generators that can work on both Delphi and C++ Builder IDEs. Primarily, Delphi applications work on Microsoft environment.
When working with the QuickReport application, files can be sent directly to the printer or can be saved to a storage media using different formats such as File extension HTML, File extension PDF, XL, File extension CSV, and several other known formats. With its working environment, a user can embed information derived from relational databases such as MS Access and Oracle. Most developers use this method when presenting reports against databases.
Common issues encountered concerning the use of QuickReport occur during printing and viewing files. Some printers do not produce the exact layout as designed and others do not even print. Previews and paper sizes are also affected by similar issue. To address this concern, an update to the later version of the software is recommended. Developers may also download a fix for the issues by visiting the publisher's website.
Applications that can generate QRP extensions include the native QuickReport application developed by QuSoft and other third party applications. Developers may also develop their own application that can be use to render QRP files. By using Dr. Regener QuickReport Viewer in opening QRP files, installation of the native QRP application is not necessary. Unlike older techniques used in printing QRP files, the use of such viewer enhances the portability and flexibility of the file by allowing users to make use of it even with no installed QuickReport application.
RepView, another Quickreport viewer published by Zylsoft, is a freeware that can be used to view QRP files. It is a Windows based application that can be installed on most Windows operating systems including Win 95, Win 98, Win ME, Win XP, Win NT, Win 2000, and Windows Vista.
For more general information about files, file extension qrp and registry you can read one of the following articles:
- Windows registry - Windows registry is included in modern Windows operating systems to replace the older INI files which also contained system configuration. Let's concentrate on the structure and purpose of Windows System Registry and show some concerns that makes it vulnerable to attacks...
- Folders, files and paths - Files are the entries or information stored on your computer. These are represented by binary coding and written on the tracks on a disk. Files are often represented by distinct icons, a normal practice done by Microsoft with their products including system files for their series of operating systems...
- What are file extensions? - File extensions are unnoticed yet are very crucial parts of the computer world. But many are still unaware of the basic foundation and principles behind the remarkable wonders of computers...

Frustrated parents discuss proposed school budget cuts
"This isn't the Alaska I grew up in."
ANCHORAGE -Parents concerned and frustrated over proposed budget cuts at the Anchorage School District met Saturday to find solutions.
"Year after year after year I'm seeing so many cuts happening and we're getting down to the point where it's bare bones and it's very directly affecting my kids," said Janel Walton.
Walton was one of the many parents, students, educators, politicians and community members who attended the meeting at Winterberry Charter School. Three parents, who wanted to educate and initiate a school budget battle plan, organized it.
"As we all know, there are cuts that are being proposed for the Anchorage School District and districts across the state," said Becca Bernard, one of the organizers.
The cuts are a result of flat funding for education across the state, she said.
Gov. Sean Parnell proposed to increase school funding for the first time in four years during his State of the State speech Wednesday.
Even with the proposed increase, ASD would still be left with almost 150 position cuts this year, said Rep. Les Gara, D-Anchorage.
"Something close to losing a thousand staff, teachers, guidance counselors over the last four years," Gara said. "That's moving education backwards."
Some of the ideas mentioned during the meeting were to rally, to contact lawmakers, to do away with SB 182 — which caps municipal funding for schools — and to file a class action lawsuit.
"Ketchikan is deciding that they're going to be suing the State of Alaska." Walton said. "Anchorage needs to investigate it as well."
Walton believes there is a violation of what is supposed to be done in terms of adequate school funding.
"This isn't the Alaska I grew up in," she said.
"We've got to keep it strong," said Tina Bernoski, another meeting organizer. "I'll use the governor's quote, 'Alaska strong' but let's mean it. Let's not just throw out chump change. Let's mean it and do it for our kids."
Organizers said they hope the ideas proposed will serve as a call to action for the hundreds of thousands of people that call Alaska home and that count on its school systems to educate their youth.
They hope people will attend the next school board meeting to voice their concerns about the budget plan.
The meeting is scheduled for Feb. 3 at the ASD Education Center at 6:30 p.m.

All Aboard for South India!
The Golden Chariot travels round-trip from Bangalore, or Bengaluru, India's high-tech hub. A 20 to 24-hour flight from the East Coast to Bangalore, India, including one or two stopovers, can be daunting. But a custom tour operator like OPG can design pre and post-trips. Before flying to Bangalore, a client might spend a night or two in Mumbai, or Bombay, India's bustling fashion, financial and filmmaking hub. Here the most famous hotel is the 560-room Taj Mahal Palace (www.tajhotels.com), an ornate, block-long Victorian-style structure completely renovated after the November 2008 bombings. Doubles start at $335.
From Mumbai, it's a two-hour flight to ultramodern Bengaluru International Airport. At Yeswantpur Station, the gleaming purple-and-yellow cars of the Golden Chariot, a joint venture between Indian Railways and Karnataka State Tourism, await passengers, who are greeted with traditional fresh-flower garlands. Turban-clad porters then whisk guests off to deluxe cabins featuring silk bed coverings and carved-wood furnishings as well as an LCD TV, a DVD player, Wi-Fi and a private bath. In addition to 44 cabins, there's a gymnasium car with massage rooms and a conference-room coach for meetings of 25-30. There are also two restaurants, where most breakfasts, lunches and dinners are served, both continental fare and spicy Southern Indian specialties like chicken curry with fresh coconut.
The first night, the Golden Chariot travels two hours from Bangalore to Mysore, 85 miles southwest. In the morning, vans shuttle guests into Karnataka's interior for a safari and overnight stay at one of two wildlife lodges run by Jungle Lodges & Resorts, Ltd. (www.junglelodges.com). Kabini River Lodge, with both tented and walled cottages, offers elephant sightings aboard traditional round wicker boats called coracles. Bandipur Safari Lodge runs jeep safaris into Bandipur National Park, a major tiger reserve.
The next afternoon, passengers visit Mysore, "City of Palaces." Most famous is 1912 Mysore Palace, a confection of sculpted pillars and domed ceilings. Ten miles away is Srirangapatna. Fortress of Mogul warrior king Tipu Sultan, it includes his mosque, with twin minarets, and 9th-century Ranganathaswamy Temple. The day ends, with a dinner show at Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel (www.lalithamahalpalace.in), a 1931 domed Italianate palazzo.
Karnataka's Great Temples
Over the next three days, the Golden Chariot explores some of India's greatest temples. Sixty miles northwest of Mysore is Hassan and nearby Shravanbelagola, with a colossal 58-foot-high granite statue of Jain saint Gommateshwara. Pilgrims and other intrepid types climb 700 steps to the hilltop monument, built in the 10th century and believed to be the world's largest monolithic statue. But Golden Chariot passengers can be borne aloft on traditional covered stretchers called palanquins.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Belur lies 23 miles northwest. Former capital of the Hoysala Empire, which ruled between the 10th and 14th centuries, Belur is renowned for its temple complex. Chennakeshava Temple—whose ornately carved façade features gods as well as elephants, horses and lions—took 103 years to build. Five miles east in Halebid, there's yet another cluster of early temples. The standout is 12th-century Hoysaleswara Temple whose wall-to-wall carvings include a dancing Ganesha, the elephant-headed Hindu god.
After visiting Halebid, guests enjoy a relaxing dinner aboard the Golden Chariot. Overnight, the train travels 160 miles north. At dawn, it pulls into the town of Hospet, gateway to Hampi, one of India's grandest UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Spread over 10 square miles, Hampi is former capital of the 14th-century Vijayanagar Empire. In the site's Sacred Area, with more than a dozen temples and shrines, is one of India's oldest functioning temples, 7th-century Virupaksha Temple, a mass of elaborate towers and courtyards.
In the site's Royal Centre, Hazara Rama Temple is covered with hundreds of carved bas-reliefs based on the Ramayana and other epics. Other top attractions are the Queen's Bath, with verandas and arched windows overlooking a romantic courtyard pool, and the Elephant Stables, with domed chambers for the royal pachyderms. The highlight of Hampi's riverside ruins is 15th-century Vittala Temple. An architectural extravaganza of halls, temples and pavilions, it includes the Stone Chariot shrine, shaped like a temple chariot drawn by two stone elephants.
The next stop on the itinerary is Badami, capital of the Early Chalukya Dynasty of the 6th -8th centuries. Here are four sandstone cave temples, including one depicting the god Shiva in 81 different dance poses. Pattadakal, about 14 miles away, is where early rulers were crowned. It's known as the "Red Town" because of its red sandstone temples, including the richly sculpted Virupaksha Temple.
From Portuguese Goa to High-tech Hyderabad
After several days of traipsing through 80-degree heat, even the most dedicated history buffs need to decompress. Fortunately, the next stop is the seaside paradise of Goa, about 120 miles west of Badami. From 1505 until 1961, a Portuguese colony flourished here, and the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is filled with 17th-century Catholic churches.
The Baroque Church of Bom Jesus, with gilded altars and marble floors, contains the remains of St. Francis Xavier, Goa's patron saint. On Monte Santo, or Holy Hill, the Church of St. Monica, the East's first nunnery, houses the Museum of Christian Art, a treasury of religious artifacts, including gold and jewel-studded rosaries. Passengers can spend the afternoon at Majorda Beach Resort (www.majordabeachresort.com) whose lush, palm-studded gardens stretch down to a 16-mile white-sand beach.
From Goa, the Golden Chariot backtracks south to Bangalore, where the train trip ends. Guests can fly back the same day, or add a few more days of sightseeing. Though Bangalore is India's high-tech capital, impressive early sites include the 1790 Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace with elaborate teak balconies and pillars. Centrally located, the historic 117-room Taj West End (www.tajhotels.com) has doubles starting at $260. A stay at the world-renowned Soukya International Holistic Health Centre (www.soukya.com), 13 miles outside the center city, is another good option (see box).
Hyderabad, to the north, is also a popular sidetrip. Nicknamed "Cyberabad" for its many high-tech business campuses, the city's most famous site is the massive 13th-century Golconda Fort with bazaars, barracks, camel stables and armories. Hyderabad's newest hotel is the 60-room Taj Falaknuma Palace (www.tajhotels.com), a grand hilltop retreat of crystal chandeliers and marble staircases where doubles start at $445.
A Soukya Wellness Retreat
From spa visits to overseas surgical procedures, medical tourism is on the rise. Melding ancient Hindu treatments with cutting-edge therapies, India is a world leader in holistic health. If you're visiting Bangalore, consider a stay at Soukya International Holistic Health & Ayurvedic Treatment Centre.
Proclaimed "best wellness center" at India's 2010 National Tourism Awards, Soukya balances the health of body, soul and mind.

WORLDTEMPUS - 23 August 2010Benjamin Clymer In early July, former expert racecar driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel established a brand new Guinness environment record with the cockpit of new Bugatti sporting activities vehicle known as the Veyron Tremendous Activity: Raphanel piloted the French coupe, boasting 1200 horsepower, to your velocity of 267. eighty one mph. The much lesser device on Raphanel's wrist as he broke the land speed was similarly impressive. Parmigiani's Kind 372 is really a legitimate driver's watch, sitting down correctly within the wrist for straightforward legibility even though driving. Worldtempus / Ben Clymer The Pebble Beach front Concours d'Elegance, which befell August 13-15 in Monterey, California, marked not only the official unveiling with the Bugatti Veyron Tremendous Sport, but also a sneak preview with the second iteration with the Bugatti replica watch developed by Parmigiani Fleurier. The award-winning Form 370 Bugatti watch,
replica swiss watches
the long-withstanding focus of Parmigiani's fleet of difficult replica watches, was retired following the last piece of the 250-watch established was sold in 2009. Fifty replica watches had been produced each year considering the fact that its 2004 inception at an approximate retail rate of $230,000 each individual. The Bugatti Super Sport watch, identified internally because the Kind 372, is really a direct descendent from the 370, and proudly displays a great deal of its primary genetics. The Parmigiani Bugatti Tremendous Activity shows unique properties in the Kind 370 along with the Bugatti sports automobile that prompted its start Worldtempus / Ben Clymer A real driver's watch, the dial in the Sort 372 sits vertically around the wearer's wrist, which makes it possible for some time to become quickly examine without removing a hand within the steering wheel. The vertical dial is positioned perpendicularly to Caliber Bugatti PF 372 by means of a complicated process of double pinions. It really is these pinions that allow for the horizontally positioned movement to provide vitality for your shows on the vertically oriented dial. This configuration, as founder Michel Parmigiani factors out, is exactly what makes the kind 372 so particular and so unique within the first Bugatti watch. The manually wound timepiece contains 337 areas plus a ten-day electrical power reserve. The replica watch is crafted in white gold and options carbon fiber accents to the dial harking back to the fabric utilized in the Bugatti Super Activity car. A again look at of your spectacular timepiece helps make it simple to discover the ingenuity which has long gone into the watch's generation Worldtempus / Ben Clymer The dial itself is angled at 60 levels and displays just the hrs and minutes. The case is usually a thin teardrop framing 6 items of sapphire crystal,

two of which sandwich the dial. Spattered during the replica watch are doses of burnt orange, an homage for the record-setting Super Activity car or truck, which dons a two-tone carbon and orange paint career. Parmigiani CEO Jean-Marc Jacot expressed delight that his enterprise was ready to create this watch, and generate it speedily. He discussed that from the tumble of 2009 a lot less than one year ago Bugatti approached him with the news the vehicle firm might have one thing extremely special to unveil for the Concours d'Elegance in 2010. The concept was for Parmigiani to also have something to show there in tandem. With the time, the replica watch was nothing much more than a principle; to fulfill the problem, he place extra than forty on the manufacturer's designers and engineers around the task full-time. "We have a very whole lot to confirm with Parmigiani because we are so youthful," mentioned Jacot. "And with this particular watch, we have now tested how innovative we could be. "The Form 372, when revealed to pick out journalists at Pebble Seashore, will not formally be introduced until finally the SIHH in January. Only thirty replica watches are scheduled to check out the light of day each and every year, each carrying a retail cost of $259,000. The initial concluded timepiece has already been reserved with the British government who will be acquiring the 1st Bugatti Tremendous Activity auto off the assembly line. When Jacot was questioned if he considered the 1. six million euros the person is purchasing the Bugatti was ample to warrant acquiring a no cost Parmigiani watch,

he responded, "I wish I could, but this replica watch is simply too distinctive to give absent, even for 1. 6 million euros. "

Clear Language for Overseas Voter Enfranchisement (CLOVE)
In response to the recent events, which profoundly affect the overseas voter community, a coalition of overseas organizations will announce a new initiative focused on Clear Language for Overseas Voter Enfranchisement (CLOVE Initiative).
The goal of CLOVE will be to ensure that the printed and online documents used in the voting process by overseas citizens are implemented with plain language forms and instructions that support voter enfranchisement.
The Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) is the form used by overseas Americans to register to vote and/or request ballots. Recent changes to the FPCA constitute one example of the importance of plain language in voting forms.
In 2011, the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) began the process to redesign the FPCA form. The process lasted from March 2011 to October 2011. The new FPCA Standard Form 76 (Rev.08-2011) was operational and available beginning November 1, 2011.
The primary concern is the following change. Block I of the previous FPCA Standard Form 76 (Rev.10-2005) presented a simple list of options to check when identifying your voter status:
Block I, renamed "Classification", on the new FPCA Standard Form 76 (Rev.08-2011) requires the overseas citizen voters to make a declaration:
The Block I change on the FPCA form results in numerous serious voter problems:
- It decides for the voter that they are requesting ballots for all elections in which they are eligible. This may not be the case. The voter may be using the form to request ballots only for the next upcoming General Election.
- It forces the voter to make a declaration of their "intent" to return or not to return to the U.S. This is an emotionally charged question to which many individuals simply do not know the answer, or do not feel it is the U.S. government's business to know.
- It presents a third option, which refers voters to consult a Voting Assistance Guide that they very likely would not have at hand, and that is intended as a support tool for trained Voting Assistance Officers, not civilian voters.
- Overseas citizens may fear that they are unintentionally exposing themselves to State tax liability, as some States list voting in State elections as a factor in determining taxable residency, even in the absence of physical presence.
- Voters may think that selecting "I am a U.S. citizen residing outside the U.S. and I do not intend to return" will be a perceived as a step towards renunciation of citizenship.
Most people will balk at filling out a form which forces them to make a declarative statement that they are unsure about – especially one so serious that they must sign under the penalty of perjury. It is likely that overseas voters who encounter it will be unsure of the implications, and perhaps discouraged to vote.
The voter can feel uneasy or even intimidated by being forced to choose between "intend to return" and "do not intend" to return. For most overseas citizens, "do not intend at the present time" is the more accurate answer. But the present formulation forces the voter to make a stark choice, which can easily be interpreted as a definitive statement for the future.
Moreover the voter is then required at the end of this form to affirm under the penalty of perjury that this information is true and complete to the best of their knowledge. Thus the voter is forced to answer an ambiguous question, which could be variously interpreted and subject themselves to a possible charge of perjury.
A voter faced with this question who has not decided their intent to return will wonder what the implications are of indicating their intent on a government form, and will very likely not continue further.
Citizens overseas, who may be especially vulnerable to disenfranchisement, will consequently be disinclined to provide information such as this on a voting form. In their confusion and reluctance to sign a form, many voters may throw their hands in the air and walk-away.
CLOVE's first action is a survey on the on the new FPCA form. Overseas voters are encouraged to complete and promote the CLOVE survey at this link:
Following is a selection of typical comments that have been entered into the open comments box of the survey:
- "I have no idea how to answer the 'Classification'. I do not know whether I will return. I have no defined plan either way. This question prevents me from moving ahead on the form! I don't know the implications of any of these choices either. It is impossible to know what the final choice 'otherwise granted ... under State law' means. Why no clear instructions?"
- "I am not sure what the fifth choice in the classification section means. Also, 'do not intend to return' seems so final. I do not want to check that box, even it is possibly true."
- "I would add 'I intend to return to the US someday.'"
- "I liked the old form '... residing outside the U.S. indefinitely' (vs. and 'I do not intend to return') The new classification '... otherwise granted military/overseas voting rights under State Law...') is confusing - no instructions on the FPCA and no info in the VAG. As to voting address and voter's oath, there needs to be a voter classification for those who have never resided in the U.S. and who have voting rights if their eligible–to-vote parents last resided in one of the currently 23 states that allow those who have never resided in the U.S. to vote from their parent's voting jurisdiction."
Overseas Vote Foundation will provide only the safe version of the FPCA form (Standard Form 76 Rev.10-2005) throughout the 2012 General Election year. Voters can continue to register and request their ballots on all OVF websites without forced declarations.

October 5th, 2006 Paychex Offers Roth 401k Retirement Savings Option
Paychex Inc., one of the largest payroll, human resources and business solutions company in USA has added the Roth 401k option to its fleet of 401k retirement services. Introduced by the Economic Growth and Tax Reconciliation Act of 2001, the Roth 401k Option is meant to encourage more small to medium sized businesses to enroll their employees in 401k retirement plans. Contributions to the Roth 401k are made in after-tax dollars and withdrawals are tax-free (upon retirement).
Pre-tax contributions are also possible with this Roth 401k option. You pay pre-tax dollars now and upon retirement (when you withdraw your 401k savings), you will be assessed a tax then. Tony Tortorella, VP of Paychex Human Resource Services quotes, "The Roth 401k may be the right savings vehicle for newly hired and younger workers who are in a lower tax bracket now, but expect their income and tax burden to grow as their career progresses. The Roth may also be a good fit for highly paid workers who want to manage their tax burden in retirement. For employers looking to add the Roth 401k feature to their plans, Paychex 401k Recordkeeping service seamlessly handles the integration between payroll and 401k deductions."
Those choosing to enroll with Paychex Roth 401k Option can contribute a maximum of $15000 in the year 2006 towards their 401k retirement savings. People over the age of 50 can contribute an additional $5000 in 2006. This is what's known as 401k Catch-Up contributions. A further advantage in contributing towards a Roth 401k plan is that there are no income restrictions for people making 401k contributions, while there are income restrictions in traditional 401k retirement plans.
The Roth 401k Option offered by Paychex can be accessed at the company's website, http://www.paychex.com

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
I think that it is very nice that you are concerned about your daughter and her finances. With that being said, she is an adult and it is going to be very difficult for her to share something with you regarding how bad her finances are and her inability to pay bills. Since you have contacted her so many times regarding her bills and even offered to assist her with payments and have heard nothing, more than likely she does not want your assistance in paying the bills. Do not take it personal, she just may not want your help. One thing that you can do, is you want to teach her how to better budget money. There are several places that offer free financial counseling and how to better teach people to budget there money. Perhaps finding one and telling her that you yourself would like to go to these classes and you would like her to join you, may be a good idea, so she does not feel like you are telling her what to do, but that you are asking her to join you. The thing is, you want her to learn a permanent solution to managing her money so that she is not always coming to you or in trouble with her finances. She may be more open into listening to a professional than she is to you, and they can pull her credit report and let her know how this can affect her future and teach her how to fix it.
As for the tires, I would not mention it to her anymore. I would asked the company to remove me from a reference and to stop calling, but your daughter knows that they are trying to contact her, and I would hate for you to put yourself in a bad position with her by continuing to mention it. I think it is better for her to learn permanent money management skills so that she does not find herself in this position again.
Thank you for the advice. She lives over 800 miles away so taking classes together would be impossible. I did send her a Suzie Orman (sp) book on how to manage money, etc. Of course, she never mentioned that she has read it. If the tire company calls me again, I will ask if she put anyone else down as a reference. If so, take my name off and call that person. My daughter lived at home until she was 28 so is still trying to figure it all out, I think. It took her 7 years to get her Associate's Degree then never did finish college. When she got into college, she had trouble with deadlines, etc. If she received help, she would do fine. She just wasn't self-motivated. I really do believe she has an ADD problem. I've read up on this and she displays so many of the symptoms.
Thanks again for your advice.

Preparation of Phosphoric Acid (from calcium phosphate)
by Magpie
January 5, 2013
A. Introduction
This procedure provides a method for producing about 160mL of 25% phosphoric acid from Ca3(PO4)2 and con H2SO4. It is loosely based on the "Dorr strong acid" industrial process (ref 1).
Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2SO4 + 6H2O ---> 2H3PO4 + 3CaSO4•2H2O
B. Chemicals
• 207.4g of Ca3(PO4)2 (0.669 moles)
• 110 mL con H2SO4 (1.98 moles)
C. Equipment
1000mL beaker
1000mL suction flask
15cm Buchner funnel w/filter paper
1000mL RBF (pot)
500ml RBF (receiver)
distillation head
water cooled condenser
vacuum adapter
ebulliator tube w/thermometer adapter
heating mantle w/variable power supply, or other heating device
magnetic stirrer/hotplate
large magnetic stir bar
aspirator or other vacuum source
plastic kitchen spoon
stiff stirring rod
fume hood (strongly advised) or face shield
lab coat or long-sleeved heavy cotton shirt
lab apron
heavy rubber gloves
D. Procedure
I. Reaction
1. Add 500mL of DI water to the 1000mL beaker. Stir and heat to a boil on the magnetic stirrer/hotplate.
Don all safety apparel (labcoat, apron, gloves, and face shield).
3. Carefully spoon 103.7g of Ca3(PO4)2 into the boiling liquid to form a slurry as shown in the picture below. Be careful of hot steam releases.
Ca3(PO4)2 slurry
Carefully and slowly
drip 55mL of con H2SO4 into the slurry. Dangerous spattering due to localized high heat of dissolution can occur. Continuous stirring and slow addition of the acid will prevent this. When the slurry becomes too thick to stir remove the beaker from the hot plate, remove the stir bar, and stir by hand using a stiff stirring rod until all the acid has been added and thoroughly mixed into the slurry. When finished the slurry will look like stiff cottage cheese as shown below. Its temperature will be ~ 75°C.

II. Filtration
5. Using the plastic kitchen spoon, place all of the slurry in the Buchner funnel.
6. Apply suction while pressing the filter cake. Wash the cake by pouring 4x25mL of DI water onto the cake during suction. The pressed cake is shown in the picture below.

7. Discard the cake. To appreciate the volume of the pressed cake see picture below.
CaSO4 filter cake
8. There should be about 470mL of filtrate. Place this in the 1000mL beaker and top off to 500mL with DI.
9. Return to step 2 above and repeat this procedure (once), this time using the filtrate in place of DI water, and stopping after step 7.
III. Removal of Settled Solids
1. Set the filtrate aside overnight to allow any CaHPO4, etc, to precipitate and settle to the bottom of the flask. (ref 2.).
2. If precipitate is present, remove it by decantation or filtration.
IV. Vacuum Evaporation
1. Draw a line indicating the 160mL level on the pot using a marking pen.
2. Set up for vacuum distillation using the 1000mL RBF as pot and the 500mL RBF as receiver. Ice-water for the condenser and an ice-water bath for the receiver are recommended.
3. Install the ebulliator tube in the distillation head as shown in the picture below. (See note 2.)
Vacuum distillation apparatus
Make sure all safety gear is in place before placing labglass under vacuum.
4. Warm the pot somewhat then place the system under vacuum.
5. Open the pinch clamp on the ebulliator to provide a full stream of tiny air bubbles to enter the pot near the bottom. This will significantly moderate the bumping.
6. Bring up the heat on the mantle slowly until adequate boiling is achieved.
Monitor closely for excessive bumping.
A picture of the bumping is shown below.
Controlled Bumping
7. Continue to remove water by evaporation until about 160mL of phosphoric acid remains in the pot as indicated by the line drawn earlier.
8. Bring the system pressure up to atmospheric by slowly allowing air to enter. Turn off the heat.
9. Let the acid sit overnight then remove settled solids by vacuum filtration.

Final product - 25% H3PO4
E. Determination of Acid Molarity
1. Titrate a sample of the acid with 0.1N NaOH to a methyl orange endpoint to determine the molarity.
H3PO4 + NaOH ---> NaH2PO4 + H2O
2. Consult a handbook table to determine the %H3PO4 based on the molarity determined.
F. Determination of %Yield
1. Determine the moles of H3PO4 produced by multiplying the volume of acid produced in mL times the molarity/1000.
2. %yield = (moles produced)/[(0.669)(2)] multiplied by 100%. The expected yield is ~ 63%.
G. Discussion
Six years ago when developing this procedure I found that the hydrated CaSO4 produced was slimey and difficult to filter. However, during recent minor tweaking of the procedure I noted that the precipitate was indeed voluminous, as expected, but not slimey, and it filtered easily. This was such an improvement that I decided to write up the procedure for Prepublication. Later, in reading some patents for the industrial processes I saw that increasing the hydrated CaSO4 particle size to facilitate filtration was a major objective. Evidently my procedural changes increased particle size. My guess is that the formation of the dihydrate of CaSO4 (by having plenty of water available) instead of the hemi-hydrate increased the particle size.
Another goal of industry was to reduce the evaporation load on the plant. This was done by using dilute phosphoric acid to make up the phosphate slurry instead of water. This was also done to increase the CaSO4•2H2O particle size. Noting that this technique would cut my evaporation load in half, I incorporated same into this procedure.
It is the intent of this procedure to carry a slight excess of Ca3(PO4)2 into the filter cake. This should reduce the amount of sulfuric acid contamination of the product phosphoric acid. (1.98 moles of 18M H2SO4)/(0.669 moles of Ca3(PO4)2) = 2.96.
The concentration of the final product H3PO4 could be increased well above 25% by further evaporation. However, increasingly severe bumping must be anticipated.
The composition of the settled solids found in the product just before the final filtration is not known. It appears to be a uniform substance with well defined crystal structure. It might weigh ~2g.
1. Strong phosphoric acid at high temperatures can corrode glass. Vacuum is used to reduce the boiling temperature to prevent this.
2. A proper ebulliator tube does not use a piece of rubber tubing and a pinch clamp. Instead, the glass tube is drawn to a hair sized opening (ref 3).

Nice to see this done right! I notice you referenced by site, I also tried this (prior to the attempt on my site) using bone meal. Now that was a nasty mess!

Very nice, Magpie, as usual; a comprehensive and detailed write-up of your work.
How long did you find the vacuum evaporation took?

Thanks. The evaporation took 1.5 hrs. The limiting factor was my condenser which is a 19/22 size about 20cm long. A 24/40 condenser would have shortened this time.
Yield would likely be increased by using more dilution liquid than the 500mL I specify. The price of this would be increased evaporation time, however.
