Accounting for Buoyancy Effects in the Explicit Algebraic Stress Model: Homogeneous Turbulent Shear Flows
- 74 Downloads
- Citations
Most explicit algebraic stress models are formulated for turbulent shear flows without accounting for external body force effects, such as the buoyant force. These models yield fairly good predictions of the turbulence field generated by mean shear. As for thermal turbulence generated by the buoyant force, the models fail to give satisfactory results. The reason is that the models do not explicitly account for buoyancy effects, which interact with the mean shear to enhance or suppress turbulent mixing. Since applicable, coupled differential equations have been developed describing these thermal turbulent fields, it is possible to develop corresponding explicit algebraic stress models using tensor representation theory. While the procedure to be followed has been employed previously, unique challenges arise in extending the procedure for developing the algebraic representations to turbulent buoyant flows. In this paper the development of an explicit algebraic stress model (EASM) is confined to the homogeneous buoyant shear flow case to illustrate the methodology needed to develop the proper polynomial representations. The derivation is based on the implicit formulation of the Reynolds stress anisotropy at buoyant equilibrium. A five-term representation is found to be necessary to account properly for the effect of the thermal field. Thus derived, external buoyancy effects are represented in the scalar coefficients of the basis tensors, and structural buoyancy effects are accounted for in additional terms in the stress anisotropy tensor. These terms will not vanish even in the absence of mean shear. The performance of the new EASM, together with a two-equation (2-Eq) model, the non-buoyant EASM of Gatski and Speziale (1993) and a full second-order model, is assessed against direct numerical simulations of homogeneous, buoyant shear flows at two different Richardson numbers representing weak and strong buoyancy effects. The calculations show that this five-term representation yields better results than the 2-Eq model and the EASM of Gatski and Speziale where buoyancy effects are not explicitly accounted for.

Surprisingly the old age makeup wasn't that far off.
Wow what is up with Dodge and its popularity in TV shows now? The Connors drive a new Dodge Ram, Clark Kent drives a Dodge Ram now (albeit a 2008 while the Connors drive an 09).
I believe it took Bionic Woman six episodes.
Skynet has aquatic Hunter Killers as well as converted to automated control US Navy Submarines.

As part of my undergrad studies we need to gain an understanding of what science is, what it is not, and – if it is science – how to determine if it is good science. Not all scientific theories are created equal and there are ways to evaluate how good a theory is. Some of the ways involve hard criteria such as leveraging probability and statistical analysis, and some are softer. It's the softer ones that interest me today.
In biological science, the mother of all theories is Darwin's theory on the origin of the species through natural selection (usually referred to as 'evolution'). I'm going to use this theory as a framework to provide examples of what makes a good theory. The theory of evolution through natural selection is a good theory, and here's why.

Wall Street's Just Not That Into You
Category: E-Book
Wall Street's Just Not That Into You: An Insider's Guide to Protecting and Growing Wealth by Roger C. Davis
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1629561177 | 152 pages | EPUB | 1,3 MB

Do you consider yourself a long-term investor? If so, chances are you have parked your money with an advisor and pay little attention to its performance and even less to the amount of risk in your portfolio. You may be told by Wall Street to buy stocks or funds and hold them, or to create a diverse portfolio to protect yourself from risk and downturns in the market. Truth be told, new studies show this approach may not be serving the long-term investor well.
In his new book, Roger Davis reveals point-blank that Wall Street's just not that into you. Drawing on an investment career spanning more than two decades, Davis delivers a dynamic and deadly accurate analysis of Wall Street's "one-size-fits-all" approach-and why even wealthy investors should be wary.
Davis, who has two decades of experience managing funds, raises valid questions about traditional investment techniques, exposing the inherent dangers of relying on any one technique as a primary risk management tool. As a reader, you will be taught critical, innovative strategies like how to stress test your portfolio and "lose your losers." Davis reveals that most investors are less concerned about making a sizeable return on their investments than they are about protecting their wealth; yet many investors have the same unprotected exposure to the stock market that they did in 2008. This book offers investors specific steps they can take to reduce investment risk and the right questions to ask of their current advisors to understand whether they should make a change.
Refreshingly candid and highly informative, offers a bold and thought-provoking alternative to the many books that offer up the same old principles of years gone by.

I'm a new UK affiliate and this month following a leaflet campaign I have generated over £80 (from £0) already in commision and this is displayed in the 'balance' area of my CJ account. However, when I click onto the payment estimate, it says that my estimate is only £5.90 (it was £14 the prev day)!!! Why is this? There have been no CJ corrections on my account. Will I still be payed £80 as shown in the balance area or just £5.90???
October 6th, 2004, 08:37 AM #2
The payment estimate is based on last month's sales and, if you have not reached the minimum payment threshold, the balance will be carried over. You will only receive payment on the 20th of November provided the sales have been locked in.

Review by pokylittlepuppy
This play has sat on my shelf for eight years after getting it for a dollar at a theater flea market. (It's a Samuel French edition, but from London; the size is all wrong and the paper is all funny.) It seemed like a good idea at the time, since coming out of high school I self-educated myself in playwriting by simply reading every play I'd heard of. Heard of this one! But then I just sat there with it. A couple Saturdays ago I pulled it down to read. The play is getting a lot of press right now with a new production, so I wondered what it would be like.It's fine, turns out, is theatrical in the sense that it's hard to grasp the impact of several scenes without staging. There's also very good use of a chorus device, which is a favorite, and I believe that would have great impact on stage too. I like thinking that the writing was inspired by rumored true events, because I feel inspired by those kinds of too-true stories as well, and know they're hard to implement. Psychology and violence and sex and religion are all really thick themes, and here they're blended very seamlessly to all feel like the same impossible problem. That's a powerful feeling, but also requires some kind of conclusion to really be a lasting one. Mostly, though, we just get some 70s angst, which is different than an ending.I think today the play feels really put in its time. It's overwhelmingly male, and intellectual shock in 1973 is now what makes mainstream theater look like theater. It's hard to find plays that don't look like all other plays. It doesn't make them bad plays, but you wish there was something else.

I have a story to tell. So listen closely. It is now 11:33 pm, I have less than a half hour to live. My story actually begins four years ago, the date of my daughter's birth. Seya came in the world the usual way. That's when I discovered my daughter is special.
Yea, I know all fathers believe their daughters are special. But Seya has super powers. No she can't fly, or walk through walls, or throw a magical hammer across the galaxy. She has a connection with the other side. Before you shake your head and walk away, please hear me out.
One cold night six months ago, I put my four year old daughter to bed.
As usual I told her a story and listened to her prayers which she ended by saying – "God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma and good-bye Grandpa."
I thought that was strange so I asked her "Why did you say good-bye Grandpa?"
She smiled and said "I don't know Daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do. I think everything will be fine. He's going to a very nice place."
I said "He told you this when?"
She just smiled and said "When I said my prayers."
I never told anyone about that night.
The next day Grandpa died. I thought of Seya's odd prediction the night before but I just put if off as a strange coincidence. Grandpa was not in the greatest of health and he was eighty-two years old. For a black man that's a good long life.
Just so you don't think my reaction was slightly odd, let me tell you this. Fours months after Seya's birth the doctors told us that Seya's brain was wired differently from most folk. She had several unusual connections.
My wife CoCo and I thought no problem. We'll love her just the same.
It's 11:45 pm. Where was I? Okay.
Life went back to normal as did our bedtime rituals. Bath, story time and prayers. The prediction of Grandpa's death a distant memory.
Several months later I put Seya to bed and listened to her prayers, which went like this— "God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy and good-bye Grandma."
"Seya, you said goodbye Grandma," I asked her.
"Yes, that's what you say when someone goes away. But I think everything will be fine Daddy. She going to be with Grandpa again."
The following day, Grandma died. My goodness, Seya can talk with people on the other side. I called CoCo, my mother and my brother Michael together.
Whew, Michael is another story I could tell. Everything of mine, he has to have. One summer he.. never mind.
Mother said I needed to take a vacation. Michael suggested I should seek professional help. CoCo stretched and yawned like a feline looking for a spot to retire.
For an entire month, I cringed whenever Seya said her prayers.
CoCo wouldn't enter her bedroom. She has always been afraid of Seya.
Hate to repeat myself, but there is a story in that relationship also.
Again things returned to normal. Several months passed. Well, I am sure you can guess what happened next.
Yep, last night when Seya said "Goodbye Daddy" I went into shock. My head actually hurt, like a brain freeze on a hot summer day. I didn't sleep at all last night, not a single wink. I was as nervous as a toddler in a doctor's office.
First sunlight, I sprinted to the office. All day, I stayed in my office. Had lunch delivered in. Drank strong black coffee and watched the clock. Whenever the phone rang, I screamed. I figured if I could get by until midnight I would be okay; as if my office has a Grim Reaper deflector shield.
It's 11:57 pm.
The night cleaning crew just left the building. I will be found in the morning.
Stiff and cold.
"Oww! Oh, that's my cell phone. It's my wife. I'll put her on speaker so that you can hear."
"Thomas, why are still at the office? You left me with Seya all day."
"I .. huh…."
"I have some very bad news. Your brother. Michael came over to help me watch Seya. Honey, he dropped dead in the kitchen!"
I am a retired educator, mentor,and child advocate. In my new life, I am a writer and colorist. I live in Pittsburgh PA USA with my wife, Cornis, and our Pit Bull mix named Tango. I am a lover of children, animals and the written word. Currently I am putting the finishing touches on an anthology of short stories depicting human interactions in an array of different genres.

Impresionante! Me hizo feliz!
- HappyChildOfGod
Very enjoyable and insightful read!
A true inspiration
I like the tone in which it was written, it felt very warm, from the heart.
I truly believe that Federica Sodi being Thalia's sister made a big difference in the narration. She read every word as if she was feeling it, therefore traspassing that to the listener. I enjoyed it very much and strongly feel she was absolutely the best narrator for this book.
The moments where Federica's voice broke from emotion from what she was reading which probably touched her, but that made it so much more credible and honest that it moved me to cry as well.
Thalia did an excellent job writing this book, the tone, the use of words, etc. kept me interested the whole time. And Federica did an awesome job narrating it, making the reader feel and live the story. The absolute perfect combination. This has been one of the best audible books I've had the pleasure to listen to.

Edited: 2012-07-10 06:24
Linking your sitemap in your Robots.txt file can be a useful way to tell search engines where they can find your sites sitemap. To do this you simply need to include another line of code in your robots.txt.
sitemap: /sitemap.xml
If you have multiple sections on your site, you might be wanting to use a sitemap index, in which case you should simply link to the sitemap index – search engines will automatically find the sitemaps listed in your index file. You can read more about these indexes in the XML Sitemap Tutorial.
sitemap: /sitemap-index.xml
Finally there also is nothing wrong with using another extension, such as .php, in case you are automatically generating your sitemaps and/or your index file, just remember to deliver the sitemap with the correct mime-type, which is application/xml.

Students share how they were able to interact with faculty, despite not seeing them in a classroom or face-to-face.
Video Transcript:[MUSIC PLAYING]
NICOLE CARTIER: The instructors were amazing. They were always available, either via phone, fax, email. There would be times I'd be doing homework at 3 o'clock in the morning. I'd shoot an email to my instructor asking a question, and at 3:05, I received an answer.
MARY D. ORIOL: We have a superior faculty. I will tell you that. Our faculty are so committed to what they do. And so often, you're going to hear the faculty say, well, this is what the student needs. So I'm going to spend that extra time. I'm going to work over into the summer to get this student through.
LAURIE BROWN: The professors, I believe, really instill that quality of managing yourself, doing the research, promoting growth. And at the time, I was a clinical manager. I was able to bring that into my role-- knowing how to manage with others, the diplomacy of management, how to seek answers.
The professors were really great about getting back to you timely. I could call professors and I certainly did. Sometimes, I would reach them; they'd be shopping in the store. But they'd always give you your time.
MARY D. ORIOL: There's a measure of excellence that is always expected. We, as faculty, expect that of one another. And so we set the bar pretty high for our students. But for those students that are willing to commit to that, we're willing to bend over backwards to help them.

"I like the leather grip."

I'm not sure that I understand the meaning of this statement: "Granville's raison d'etre as TW reviewer is the leather grip never go out of style."
I believe it was a compliment to Granville.
It should have written as 'Granville's raison d'etre: TW reviewer that never goes out of style; much like the leather grip'.
I must say, I'm lost here. However, I do love a good TW leather grip.
I remember my first post.
The correct spelling of his name is Grainville.
Pretty sure I just made a thread on this subject, except it almost made sense.

Broughty Castle
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
The Grey family eventually sold the castle in 1666, and it lapsed into a state of decay. It was used as a base by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway Company, and finally purchased by the crown to use as defense against a threatened Russian invasion. The War Office rebuilt and strengthened the castle site, and added gun emplacements. The castle was used sporadically by the military until after World War II.
It was finally taken over by the Dundee city council, who now operate it as a museum, focussing on the military function of the site and its colourful past. Visit the museum website for more information. Though the museum is run by the council, the castle itself is under the care of Historic Scotland. The castle site is close to the beach and the Esplanade and offers excellent views across the Tay and Monifieth Bay, which is popular with birdwatchers.

Hey there! I'm Kristi Trimmer, a travel and adventure blogger at KristiTrimmer.com. It all started back in 2013 when I was asked what was the scariest thing I wanted to do. Somewhere deep inside me came a response I never knew was in there – I wanted to be a travel writer and road trip around the world. And so I did.
That first year, I drove all 4 corners of the US, ran in 10 half marathons, and interviewed countless breweries. Then I did something even crazier – I drove up to Alaska! During those years, I camped over 200 days in National Parks all over the US and witnessed more beautiful sunrises and sunsets that have left a lasting effect on my soul. After years on the road, it was time to have a home once again. Alaska is my muse and is the most beautiful place I have ever been. Come visit, I'm happy to show you around my new state and home!
After four years on the road and seeing 50 states and 6 countries, it was time to create a home base.
I am a professional writer and blogger and love to write about craft beer (especially Alaska beer!), travel and fitness tech, cybersecurity, plus traveling as a solo female traveler over 40. I love to write!! What can I say? I've been a writer and technical editor for 20+ years and a blogger for 10 years.
Recently, I also invested in and created a new business as Kristi's LuLaRoe Shenanigans. I have only partial use of my right arm after a fishing injury (I kid you not), and writing for 8-10+ hours a day wasn't going to happen. I still write, but had to take a step back this past year to heal.
{Read: What a First Month Selling LuLaRoe Really Looks Like to learn more about that journey.}
Need a freelance writer or editor? I take on one-on-one projects and am happy to talk to you about yours. I just finished editing an Alaskan Cookbook that has me itching to get back in the kitchen! My past writings includes technical documents for the Department of Defense, articles on cybersecurity, tech news, fitness tech, travel tech, plus I've written for Best Buy, Monster, Samsung, Microsoft, and Target for tech. In my heyday, I wrote 500+ blog posts a year for other bloggers! My other paid writings include soy free recipes, organic gardening, and everything you could possibly imagine about traveling. Most people know me for my alcohol reviews that include craft beer, wine, and liquors – I'm happy to review your new concoction – need to put this super palate to work!
{Read: Brands I Work With to see an assortment of companies I have written for or worked with on product reviews, sponsored posts, or Brand Ambassadorships.}
This is the day when I pulled the tendons and muscles in my arm. But look at all those salmon!
I am open to sponsored posts and Brand Ambassadorships. Drop me a line and let's see how we can work together. Don't worry, I'm still traveling and am happy to check out your destination, travel or tech product. Just because I'm putting down roots in Alaska doesn't mean I still don't love to fly and get my adventure on! 🙂

I live in Texas for several reasons but chiefly among them is the weather. I'm not a fan of the cold even in the slightest. Perhaps a little dip into the 50's or 60's every now and then isn't so bad for jogging but anything below that is just plain too cold for me. So, when the inevitable cold front comes through, I have to find ways to battle the chills.
This morning, I woke up with the blanket pulled up to my nose and it was only 44 outside. But, again, anything below 50 is C. O. L. D. cold to me; I must have lain there for a good 20 minutes before I finally coaxed myself out of bed. I knew I had to find some way to provide relief. A hot shower? That would require a brief moment of nakedness which meant being even colder. Throw my clothes in the dryer? That would require me to shower first which was already ruled out. A nice cup of tea? Oh yeah....
I ended up choosing the Ginger Hibiscus Assam Black Tea. It's strong aromatic presence was great for opening my eyes and the ginger was great for providing that warm sensation all the way into the belly. Some hot water and 3 minutes later, I had relief!
Let me just say that I feel like a fool sometimes with all this tea laying around at the house. I mean, I really should make this my morning ritual more often. The amazing this about this particular tea is that the ginger is great for both cold and hot weather. When it's a thousand degrees outside - okay, maybe not a thousand but pretty close on some of those hot Texas days - the ginger's cooling crisp aftereffects leave me feeling refreshed.
Ahhh, would you look at me! I intended to write a blog entry on cold weather remedies and I ended up plugging summer. Ha! What can I say? I reallllly don't like the cold. I guess my mind is taking back to July in order to help me cope. What are some of YOUR favorite ways to warm up on those cold mornings?

(Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside) Woodsist Records are consistently churning out some of today's best lo-fidelity records, and tonight we're lucky enough to get two of their best bands on the same bill. One from San Francisco, and one from Brooklyn—cities every Portlander secretly envies. Woods, the sugary, slacker folk-psych outfit that sounds like Crazy Horse channeling the spirit of Wowee Zowee, and The Fresh and Onlys, who have favorably abandoned their Cramps-y freak-outs in exchange for a psychedelic, surfy take on the weepy New Romanticism of the Go-Betweens. Plus, surprise! Pacific City Nightlife Vision Band (raddest band name ever) is the inexplicably melted mindfuck of Spencer Clark (The Skaters, Monopoly Child Star Searchers) and Portland's own Scott Simmons, owner of Exiled Records and former member of Eat Skull. CHRIS CANTINO
(Holocene, 1001 SE Morrison) Like any good punk band—and they are a great punk band—the Coathangers have a bit of a reputation. Their dubious backstory (of stolen drum sets and unrelenting live shows) is well regaled at this point, but there is so much more to this Atlanta quartet than their reckless past. Their debut, Scramble, made an art form out of unraveling, raw punk songs that harkened back to the glorious run of underappreciated bands like Huggy Bear. This year's Larceny and Old Lace finds the Coathangers maturing—gasp!—as they don't entirely destroy every song in a violent collision of overlapping screams and crashing instrumentation. While not exactly batting eyelashes and curtsying, the band does savor the moment on melodic and sincere numbers like "My Baby" and "Go Away." While the tempo might have slowed ever so slightly, that doesn't mean the Coathangers aren't afraid to go for the jugular. After all, they have a reputation to live up to. EZRA ACE CARAEFF

by Emily Attwood January 2016
Our article on basketball court branding in the November/December issue of Athletic Business felt all too familiar to Steve Denny, director of athletics at The Master's Academy Orlando, Fla. Many of the details in the article, from brand aesthetics to marketing potential and application techniques had been discussed by the athletic department at great length over the last few months. And this weekend, Masters Academy is unveiling its latest branding tool, a completely black hardwood court.
- Why a Northern High School Opted for an Indoor Practice Facility
by Paul Steinbach December 2015
The tour — the story — starts in a decades-old gymnasium. It was while assessing this modest space in 2006-07, with its original bleachers and hardwood court badly in need of refinishing, that administrators at Hamilton High School began to think big. Enrollment had doubled since the school was built in Sussex, Wis., in 1963. Athletics participation had increased by 33 percent, six sports programs had been added, and interior training space was at a premium. Track athletes were running hurdles down terrazzo hallways. Cheerleaders were doing stunts over library carpeting. Field sports participants in this evolving era of year-round specialization had no place to practice off-season, as Wisconsin's winters rendered the outdoors off limits.

- Basketball Court Design as Branding Tool
by Emily Attwood December 2015
Remember when the University of Oregon changed the look of college basketball with its evergreen-silhouetted court at Matthew Knight Arena in 2011? Or when Florida International University's beach-towel-themed court raised some eyebrows in 2013? The two are notable examples in a growling list of unique court designs. past summer, the University of Maryland unveiled its new flag-bordered design at the XFINITY Center; Northern Kentucky University unveiled a floor "watermarked" with a Norse ship at BB&T Arena; and a handful of NBA teams unveiled new court designs. "Over the past four or five years, there's been a tremendous focus for branding opportunities on basketball courts and getting your message out," says John Prater, president of Chattanooga, Tenn.-based Praters Athletic Flooring, the creative spark behind some of college athletics' most iconic basketball courts.

- Flexible Gym Design Accommodates More than Just Basketball
by Wayne L. Hughes November 2015
Many colleges, municipalities and high schools host sports, events and meetings in gymnasiums filled with history. But many of today's gyms — built in the 1970s, '60s and even earlier — were primarily sized for basketball: A standard 50-foot-wide court of 94 feet in length (at the college level) or 84 feet (at the high school level), and a (typically) too-small clearance around the perimeter. The perimeter walls were often structural, load-bearing walls of concrete block or brick.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
openPQDIF Usage Example
This example shows how to use the GSF.PQDIF library by loading a PQDIF file and accessing different elements of the PQDIF file structure.
First, we need to include the following reference in our project code:
using GSF.PQDIF.Logical;
We can parse the information contained in the file and store it as a list of observation records.
List<ObservationRecord> observationRecords = new List<ObservationRecord>();
using (LogicalParser logicalParser = new LogicalParser(dialog.FileName))
while (logicalParser.HasNextObservationRecord())
Observation records have references to their data source and monitor settings records, and various elements can be accessed via properties to those objects.
ObservationRecord observation = observationRecords[0];
DataSourceRecord dataSource = observation.DataSource;
MonitorSettingsRecord monitorSettings = observation.Settings;
DateTime startTime = observation.StartTime;
string sourceName = dataSource.DataSourceName;
double nominalFrequency = monitorSettings.NominalFrequency;
Channel instances can also be accessed through the observation record, and series instances can be accessed through channel instances.
IList<ChannelInstance> channels = observation.ChannelInstances;
IList<SeriesInstance> series = channels[0].SeriesInstances;
Finally, the values for a particular series can be obtained through the OriginalValues property of the series instances. The type of these original values depends on the physical type of the values, scale, and offset defined in the PQDIF file and are thus
returned as a list of objects, but most types can be safely converted to double.
IList<object> originalValues = series[0].OriginalValues;
IEnumerable<double> values = originalValues.Select(Convert.ToDouble);

Last week, this story came to my attention. It only has a million or so views, so there's a good chance you haven't seen it. It's well worth your three minutes. I've linked up to it at the end of this post.
The long and short of it is that when Tim was a teenager, he dreamed of owning his own restaurant. And now he does. His restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and…hugs. Hugs are free, but you have to order one, and they are all delivered by Tim himself.
Oh, by the way, Tim has Down's Syndrome.
I love Tim's story, because it proves so fantastically the truth that I try to convince my students – and myself – of every day, the truth of the value of our work, and finding our calling.
This is what Tim's story tells me:
The Reality, but Not Finality of Limitations
Tim's upfront and honest. He knows what his limitations are, that he's dealing with Down's Syndrome. There's no getting around it.
Look, we all have limitations placed on us. They come in the form of limits on our time, our money, our energy, our physical and mental talents. And we have a choice to make – are we going to be defeated by our limitations, or are we going to work within those limitations and still do something great. Sadly, I think the mentality that people embrace far too often is the former, rather than the latter.
The Value of Calling
I have no doubt in my mind that Tim is doing what he was placed on Earth by God to do. He is living out his calling.
You know, it really really bothers me that ministry is sometimes referred to as the "highest calling." I suppose teachers, doctors, soldiers, parents and just about every profession can get a little bit prideful and pronounce their calling "higher" than others.
You know what the result is? People are insecure that they aren't "doing enough" with their lives.
Guess what: if God called you to do what you are doing, then you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing. There is no comparing callings when they come from God himself! The point of a calling is not what it is, but Who has placed it on your heart.
The Value of Everyone's Work
I hold my students to high standards.
That doesn't mean I hold them to uniform standards. Every child is going to accomplish something different in my class. That's what makes art class more like real life than say, math class, where every child has to get the same answer.
Now, let me ask you this: does an "un-talented" child's work lack value because he doesn't have the same level of talent that another child has? Not if he is trying his best and working as if he were working for the Lord.
An analogous question: By some measures, Tim's achievements are very modest. Owning a restaurant is not that big a deal to a lot of people. Does that mean that Time's work is not valuable? Are his accomplishments not worthy because he hasn't written a book, invented something new, cured a disease or won an award?
Of course not. But you know, we all get one little corner of the planet and we have the job of stewarding it and making it the best we can. It's only when our personal accomplishments are integrated into the fabric of humanity that they mean something. Make the little corner of Earth God gave you the best it can be.
Whatever Some People Need to Feel Good
Finally, this last point didn't come to me until I read a few of the comments on YouTube, which is never a good idea. I warn you not to unless you want to retch in disgust. They were predictable – people making themselves feel better by making lame jokes about a "retarded" person…just like in middle school.
The comments go to show that some people will do anything they can to prop themselves up, ultimately because they don't feel all that great about their lives, their work or their accomplishments. But tearing down someone else or being negative won't make your life any more satisfying, and it sure won't diminish how satisfied Tim is with himself. Tim has had a lot of limitations placed on him, and he's doing more with what he's got than half of us have the guts to try. Myself included.
Watch the video and tell me what you think. What doesn't Tim's story illustrate to you? Are you living out your calling like he is?
I'll be out of town on Friday as I attend Echo Conference in Dallas, but I'll see you again on Monday.

Day 7- A Sailing Day
Posted: Tue, Aug 6, 2013
Location: The Settlement, Anegada
Today we went sailing to Anegada. It's so beautiful here. Before that we stopped in Leverick Bay and took really nice pictures by the ocean. We met the locals and they were so nice. That was probably my favorite part of the day. Just before leaving we noticed an English red telephone box where sailors usually take their showers. We found that really amusing. I really enjoyed my day today.

The Oracle Integration Repository is a compilation of information about the service endpoints exposed by the Oracle E-Business Suite of applications. It provides a complete catalog of Oracle E-Business Suite's business service interfaces. The tool lets users easily discover and deploy the appropriate business service interface for integration with any system, application, or business partner.
The Oracle Integration Repository is shipped as part of the Oracle E-Business Suite. As your instance is patched, the repository is automatically updated with content appropriate for the precise revisions of interfaces in your environment.
Oracle STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that you never use SQL*Plus, Oracle Data Browser, database triggers, or any other tool to modify Oracle E-Business Suite data unless otherwise instructed.
Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve, and maintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools such as SQL*Plus to modify Oracle E-Business Suite data, you risk destroying the integrity of your data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data.
Because Oracle E-Business Suite tables are interrelated, any change you make using an Oracle E-Business Suite form can update many tables at once. But when you modify Oracle E-Business Suite data using anything other than Oracle E-Business Suite, you may change a row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables. If your tables get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous information and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle E-Business Suite.
When you use Oracle E-Business Suite to modify your data, Oracle E-Business Suite automatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle E-Business Suite also keeps track of who changes information. If you enter information into database tables using database tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track who has changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep a record of changes.

All-BIIF volleyball: Kai Enriques of Ka'u honored as league's best in D-II
He's a smart hitter and a fundamentally sound all-around player, loves volleyball, and grew up in Pahala with the last name of Enriques.
That description could fit any of Kamehameha coach Guy Enriques' sons — Evan, Emmett or twins Addie and Avery.
But none has made history like Kai Enriques, a first cousin of the four volleyball brothers. The Ka'u junior was a spark plug on his school's first Big Island Interscholastic Federation Division II championship team.
The 5-foot-9 Trojan outside hitter was named the BIIF Division II Player of the Year, by the league's coaches, joining Evan in accomplishment.
Kamehameha first captured a BIIF championship in 2005. But Evan's accolades are unparalleled in league history with three consecutive BIIF Division I Player of the Year honors, and the All-State player of the year as a sophomore and senior.
Kai Enriques is joined on the first team by a pair of teammates: senior outside hitter Larry-Dan Al-Navarro and junior setter Brian Gascon, who was listed as an outside hitter.
Trojan senior middle blocker Chance Emmsley-Ah Yee and senior outside hitter Franklin Orcino received honorable mention.
BIIF runner-up Honokaa landed two players on the first team: senior outside hitter CJay Carvalho and senior setter Makana Loo. Hawaii Preparatory Academy senior outside hitter Noah Schenk and Konawaena senior outside hitter Gabriel Trevino round out the team.
"I was surprised I got player of the year. There are a lot of good people and players in Division II," Enriques said. "I'm really honored the coaches chose me. It means a lot, and it feels really good about how hard I've worked, and the people around me, people who put their time in and helped me along the way."
"I just love volleyball," he said. "It's my one sport and passion. I like playing with my friends and against good competition. I feel really good when I'm playing with all my cousins. It's a family bonding thing. I've played with Emmett since I was about 12 years old. Everything I know I've learned from Uncle Guy and his training."
Enriques is playing on his uncle's Southside 17s club team with Gascon. They'll compete in the USA Junior National Championships, which start June 30 in Houston. A few of the Kamehameha coach's players, including libero Kekaulike Alameda and middle Hanale Lee Loy, are also on the 17s club.
Since he was 12 years old, Evan Enriques has played on Pono Maa's Ka Ulukoa club team with Punahou senior-to-be Micah Maa and recent graduate Larry Tuileta. They'll play in the Junior Nationals 18s division. Their club has won six titles.
On the Southside 17s team, Emmett Enriques provides the firepower, while cousin Kai offers a bit of everything as the second outside hitter. The club has finished fourth twice at nationals. Addie and Avery are on the 15s team.
"The thing that Evan talks about a lot is mental focus," Kai said. "That's helped me a lot. It's visualizing in general, taking mental reps about what I'm going to do. It's really good fun playing with Emmett. He's not only a good player, but I also look up to him.
"When we need a point, we all count on him as our big gun. I'll try to bring whatever the team needs. If they need a setter, I can set. But I'm usually the other outside hitter with Emmett."

- Synopsis
- Wally Morris is a good right fielder, but Coach Hutter is trying to make him a pitcher. Wally is a lefty and has a strong arm and good aim. What he doesn't have is the desire to play the position. But how can he refuse? Coach Hutter once saved his life, and Wally feels he owes him. Then he meets Cab Lacey, a former ballplayer whose life story bears some resemblances to his own. Will Cab help Wally see that being true to oneself is sometimes more important than fulfilling another's dreams?

I can't imagine the right gpm setup and > searching the databases hasn't brought enough information to this :-( > X doen't start either, because it doesn't find the mouse. > > So I looked into /dev and ls *mouse* found "atarimouse amigamouse mouse > usbmouse" and ls -l mouse found "mouse -> adbmouse" but I can locate nor > find any file which is named "adbmouse". I think newer Kernels have a new input layer. I can't really tell you the details since Linux on a PowerMac is rather new for me, but the following line in gpm.conf works for me (PowerMac 7600, stock Debian Kernel 2.2.19): device=/dev/input/mice You might also want to put dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode = 87 dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode = 88 dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation = 1 or similar into /etc/sysctl.conf to get 3-button emulation (on F11 and F12 in this case). Best regards, Manuel
