Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Find info concerning Thomas More College auditing courses, and registering for discussion sections and department seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Consult with an academic advisor, to ensure that your chosen classes constitute a full-time course load, and fulfills major requirements. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Thomas More College major requirement information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Thomas More College.
If you have a particular school in mind that is clearly your first choice, then early decision might work well for you. Please note that if you are accepted under early decision, you are making a commitment to attend that school, unless its financial aid package is inadequate. Usually, you can apply to only one school under the early decision program. If you're not accepted, you still have the option to apply to other schools later, during the regular application period.
Early action is similar to early decision, except that you aren't required to attend a school that accepts you. Some schools allow you to apply for early action while interested in other colleges, but some don't, so you need to request information from each school. Keep in mind that there is less incentive for an early action college to accept you because you aren't committing to attend the school. Beyond degree requirements such as Thomas More College class registration, you may consider Inver Hills Community College course offerings online for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

An Audi S4 with the Cruise RP-1 sensor pod on top. (Photos by Rafe Needleman/Yahoo Tech)
Despite a lot of limitations, the Cruise RP-1 is about the coolest, most innovative automotive accessory to hit the market in probably forever. It makes your car self-driving.
As long as it's a new Audi A4 or S4, that is.
And as long as you keep it on the freeway. In the daytime.
And you don't expect it to change lanes.
That said, there's nothing else like this $10,000 system, which is a combination of a sensor pod for your car, a computer that mounts in the trunk, and a bunch of levers and gears ("actuators," in the lingo) that act on the steering wheel, brake, and gas pedals for you.
I got a live demo of the RP-1 at an old airstrip in Alameda, California. The small Cruise team had laid out a course with traffic cones that included long stretches of straight road, some slaloms, and hairpin curves. Cruise engineer Ian Rust showed me the system. He had the easiest demo job in the world: He got into the the driver's seat of the car (I was in the passenger's seat), started it up, drove it into the demo lane, and pressed the "Cruise" button on the console. The car then drove itself around the track.
The Cruise control knob.
Don't fire the chauffeur
My metric for success in a self-driving car demo is this: Does it drive better than I do? The Cruise-equipped car did not. It "hunted" between the cone lane markers, and it was not a comfortable ride. Rust said the wind had been blowing the cones around, and the Cruise system was constantly trying to arbitrate between what its cameras saw and what the pre-programmed GPS system was telling it to expect. He said that by the time the product is available to the public, it will be a better driver.
I expect that he's right, and he'll have to be before anyone will buy this product. And, yes, it's still amazing that an aftermarket kit can drive a real car. It's just a simple matter of engineering, as they say, to make it better than a human.
Cruise is aptly named, since it's not a full-on autonomous car accessory. It can drive you down the freeway, keep your car in its lane, and adjust its speed so it doesn't rear-end another car. If you tell it your destination (via a smartphone app), it will alert you so you can take control of the car before the exit. Likewise, it can't handle the merge from an on-ramp into traffic. You have to do that, and then engage the system. You can also adjust the default speed.
The Cruise cannot drive in city traffic, or on roads that the system doesn't know about. By launch time, all of the San Francisco Bay Area should be mapped. Adding new roads is not difficult for Cruise, Rust said. He made the point that while Google's self-driving car technology can drive anywhere it knows about, it is a massive effort for Google to map out its driving zones at its incredibly high levels of detail. The Google car is not, Rust says, as general-purpose as most people think.
The Cruise sensor pod. Drivers in front of you might think you're in a police car. That's their problem.
Google's technology also relies on very expensive sensors, like a $70,000 Velodyne LIDAR scanner. The Cruise uses two cameras, a radar sensor, and its own GPS antenna.
What you can get now
The Cruise does not have side- or rear-facing sensors, which is one reason it can't handle lane changes or more complex maneuvers. But with additional sensors and software upgrades, Rust says, the team will constantly be expanding the capabilities of the system.
They'll also be making it available for other cars eventually. For now, the plan is to sell, and do the installation of, 50 systems at $10,000 each to Bay Area owners of Audi A4s and S4s. The company plans to do these installs in the first quarter of 2015, and after learning from these first customers' experiences, it will offer more units for sale.
Cruise's promo video
Cruise technology is totally legal in California and sneaks in under the same regulations that let you use adaptive (speed-changing) cruise control in other states, so once highways elsewhere are mapped into the system, you should be able to use it no matter where you take your car in the United States.
If you don't have an Audi A4 or S4 from 2012 or later, you have no other real options for serious self-driving technology today, although that will change as more automakers layer in autonomous technology. Today, for example, Mercedes has a limited lane-keeping technology in its S-Class luxury liner, but that car starts at about $95,000, and the feature will drive for only 16 seconds before nagging you to take over. The Cruise technology, theoretically, can navigate your car down the freeway from on-ramp to exit.
The RP-1 is available for preorder today. Cruise will do the installations at its facility in San Francisco starting in 2015.

After we were seated, we were presented with two menus - the regular menu containing individual dishes and the chef's recommendations menu containing dishes to share. As we went there with my family, we decided to order entirely from the chef's recommendations menu (some dishes had so many thumbs up it was hard to resist).
We ordered the following:
#1: Stir fry watercress spinach
This was the best dish out of everything we ordered. It was relatively refreshing compared to everything else (you will find out why in a moment) although a little expensive. In Malaysia, we call this vegetable 'kangkung' and we get it for oh so cheap.
#2: Deep fried soft shell crab with salted egg
I decided on this dish two seconds into reading the menu as it was the one with the most thumbs up. When it was served, I was so excited to dig in, but as much as I love soft shell crab I couldn't bring myself to eat too much because it was so salty. I felt that it could have been so much better if they had cut back on the salted egg.
#3: Salt and pepper chicken spare ribs
Again, too salty.
#4: Salt and pepper tofu
Finally, also too salty. The flavour and texture of the tofu within the batter was really nice, and the batter itself was crispy, however, the amount of salt sprinkled on top of everything was almost off-putting.
In general, everything except the watercress spinach was way too salty. At the start, we were served a huge jug of tea. We were surprised and thought that it might be the first time not needing a refill but we were wrong. The tea didn't end up being enough and even with all that fluid, our lips were shrivelled when we left. I wouldn't mind visiting again, however, I will definitely limit our order to one salty dish only. That paired with other toned down dishes, should be a better experience, I hope.

More on Spanish pronouns
Today I will show you how we use some Spanish pronouns in Imperative. The kind of pronouns we will learn are those we use in phrases like: give me, tell them, lend her, take us; and also give it to me, tell it to them, lend it to her, take it to us, etc.
The rule is: Convert the verb into the Imperative, and then add the proper Spanish pronoun at the end.
Lets work with the Spanish verb "dar":
If you are talking to one person (you – singular)
- dame – give me
- date – give yourself
- dale – give him/her
- danos – give us
- daos – give yourselves (Spain)
- dense – give yourselves (Latin America)
- dales – give them
- dámelo/a/os/as – give it/them to me
- dátelo/a/os/as – give it/them to yourself
- dáselo/a/os/as – give it/them to him/her
- dánoslo/a/os/as – give it/them to us
- dáoslo/a/os/as – give it/them to yourselves (Spain)
- dénselo/a/os/as – give it/them to yourselves (Latin America)
- dáselo/a/os/as – give it/them to them
If you are talking to more than one person (you – plural):
- denme – give me
- denos – give us
- dense – give yourselves
- denles – give them
- dénmelo/a/os/as – give it/them to me
- dénoslo/a/os/as – give it/them to us
- dénselo/a/os/as – give it/them to yourselves
- dénselo/a/os/as – give it/them to them
In all the cases seen above, the "da" and "de" at the beginning of each word corresponds to the verb "dar" in the Imperative Mood. What follows is the proper Spanish pronoun or pronouns:
- me, te, le, nos, os, se (for the right person or subject)
- lo, la, los, las (for the object it is referred to, depending on whether it is masculine-singular, masculine-plural, feminine-singular or feminine-plural)
You can find a full list of all the video lessons by clicking on the List of Lessons tab on the Main Menu.
Although we will be focusing more on Spanish words, pay attention to the Spanish pronunciation in the present video lesson, and remember to practice repeating the same words and sounds.

Answered By: Deborah Kelley-Milburn Last Updated: Jul 15, 2015 Views: 205
Whether or not you as a patron will pay money actually depends on your local library, not on Harvard. Some libraries are able to provide the service to their patrons at no charge; others have to charge fees to cover at least a portion of their own cost. You'll need to inquire at the library you have in mind.
At Harvard, Interlibrary Loan charges for lending to other institutions vary by Harvard library. The Harvard College Library, which includes Widener and Lamont, charges a basic fee of $25 for interlibrary loan or photocopying services. Loans to libraries outside the U.S. are $45 and copies $25. This covers up to four volumes or photocopied material up to 50 pages. Costs may be higher if a large amount of photocopying or special handling is needed.
Typically, borrowing libraries pay the fees to Harvard and then charge their own patrons depending on local policy. Payment via OCLC ILL Fee Management (IFM) is preferred, or invoices will be forwarded after the ship date. If paid by invoice, payment must be made by check or money order in U.S. dollars.

(Left) A soft-bodied Allogromiid
Andrew J. Gooday
For more years than I care to remember (or reveal!), I have worked on deep-sea shelled protozoans - basically the foraminifera and the xenophyophores. My work has concentrated in the NE Atlantic but I have also worked in the NW Atlantic, the Arabian Sea and the Antarctic. These single-celled organisms span a size range from a few 10s of microns up to >10cm and include giant forms which do not conform to the usual idea of what protozoans look like. Within these groups I have made a special effort to study soft-shelled species (e.g. allogromiids), an often neglected but extremely important component of deep-sea communities. I have also tried to develop linkages between biological studies and the use of foraminifera in interpreting the palaeoceanographic record.
I have tried to document scales and patterns of foraminiferal diversity. How many species occur locally and regionally? Are cosmopolitan distributions more prevalent among deep-sea species compared to those living in shallow water? Are trends in foraminiferal diversity in response to environmental gradients similar or different to those exhibited by metazoans? My aim is to bring foraminifera into the debate on what controls local and regional deep-sea diversity.
My work on xenophyophores has tended to be more taxonomic. I have described new species and spent quite a lot of time looking for these peculiar protozoans at the DEEPSEAS Porcupine Abyssal Plain site. NE Atlantic xenophyophores tend to be small and delicate compared to their Pacific counterparts, and are quite difficult to spot.

2016 seems to be the year of in-house developed Chipset for Smartphone manufacturers. This new Era was started by Apple and Samsung, and now lot of manufacturers seem to follow this Trend.
Recently we had seen LG, and now its turn of Chinese manufacturers, like ZTE, Xiaomi and Lenovo. ZTE seems to lead the trend, by getting a big fund of $ 74 million from China's National IC Industry Investment Fund, to accelerate the in-house Chip Development.
Chinese manufacturers have already crashed the pricing of Smartphones, now they plan to enter the arena with another round of cheap chipsets. Qualcomm and Mediatek may be the biggest sufferers.
Xiaomi is also working with Chip Designer Leadcore Technology to develop ARM based Soc Chipsets. There are also some more local players who are developing very fast, like, Allwinner, Rockchip and Spreadtrum.
On an average, Processor Market is around 5.8 Bn $ / Quarter ( as reported PRNewswire Data for Q1 2015 )
Let's have a look at Share of Chipset Manufacturers :
Qualcomm : Definitely, Qualcomm is leader in Smartphones,but lately lost ground to Samsung Exynos and Mediatek and now spreadtrum. Qualcomm was relying heavily on Samsung and Foxconn ( Apple manufacturer ). Qualcomm lost over 1 Billion, since these two companies started manufacturing Chipsets
Mediatek : Q3 2015 Mediatek accounted for roughly 18 % of the Smartphone manufacturers. Smartphones below 150 $ have been opting for Mediatek Processor, replacing Qualcomm low end chipsets.
Spreadrom : Though financial Data is not clear about Spreadtrum yet, But in Q3 the company accounted for almost 8 % of the Smartphones.
Please stay tuned with the update : Smartphone Chipset Manufacturers Market Share

Earthing or Grounding
Grounding is the process of creating an alternative(different) path for the flow of fault(excessive) currents safely into the ground in the presence of minimal resistance or impedance.
It connects non-current carrying parts of an equipment to the general mass of earth in such a manner as to ensure, at all times, an immediate discharge of energy without danger.
Classification of Earthing
- Equipment earthing
- Neutral earthing
1. Equipment Earthing
It means connecting the non-current carrying metallic parts in the neighbourhood of electrical circuits to earth. The non-current carrying parts include the following
motor body, tower, poles, transformer tank, sheet, and cables, etc.
2. Neutral Earthing
The neutral point of generator, transformer, transmission, and distribution system or circuit, rotating machine, etc. is connected to earth either directly or through a resistance or a reactance.
Objects of Earthing
- It provides protection to personnel and equipment by ensuring operation of the protective control gear and isolation of the faulty circuit.
- to ensure that all exposed conductive parts do not reach a dangerous potential.
- Maintain the voltage at any part of an electrical system at a known value so as to prevent over current or excessive voltage on the appliances or equipment.
Step Voltage
A person walking on the surface of the ground will experience a voltage between his/her feet. This voltage will generate electric body currents. In this case, the voltage to which the person is subjected is called step voltage.
Touch Voltage
A person touching a structure which has a potential that is different from that of the point of ground at which the person is standing. In this case, the person is subjected to a voltage that will generate an electric current through his or her body. The voltage to which the human body is subjected is called the touch voltage.
The magnitude of these voltages depends on the following factors:
- The value of fault current
- Upper and lower resistivity of the soil
- Area of the grid
Q. What is meant by earth continuity conductor?
Ans. The conductor, by means of which the metal body of an or an appliance is connected to the earth, is know as earth continuity conductor (ECC).
Q. What are maximum permissible values of resistance of system for (i) large power stations (ii) major power station (iii) small substations (iv) in all other cases?
Ans. Maximum permissible values bf resistance of earth system as follows :
Large power stations – 0.5 ohm
Major power stations – 1.0 ohm
Small substations – 2.0 ohm
In all other cases – 5 ohm maximum.
Q. What should be the minimum size of earth continuity conductor?
Ans. The cross-section of earth continuity conductor should not be either less than 2.9 mm2 (14 SWG) or half of the installation conductor size.
Q. What is harm if earth resistance exceeds the permissible value of earth resistance?
Ans. The sensitivity of the protective equipment, system voltage, and the maximum fault current directly relate to permissible valued earth resistance. In case the earth resistance exceeds the permissible value, then in the event of an earth fault, the fault current may not reach a sufficient value to operate the protective equipment (such as fuses or relays) and dangerous condition may arise.
Q. Why charcoal and salt is used in earthing?
Ans. Generally, alternate layers of charcoal and salt are used to increase the effective area of the earth and to reduce the earth resistance respectively.
