It is finally Spring, yet it does not mean you should be suffering from allergies! Here are a few steps you can take to avoid all the sneezing and coughing:
• Increase your consumption of anti-inflammatory and antihistamine foods: apples, berries, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, raw honey, green tea, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, omega 3 foods (supplement, walnuts, flax, salmon), orange fruit and vegetables, leafy greens.
• Cut out dairy since it promotes mucous production, as well as sugar and gluten since they are inflammatory.
• Eat local raw honey (not for babies under 1 year), take bee pollen which is similar to homeopathy in that you are treating like with like.
• Increase your fluids to aid the body in diluting and expelling what it is try to get rid of (pollen, dust, etc).
• Drink nettle tea or take capsules, it is naturally rich in quercetin to ward off inflammation.
• Take 3 pellets each daily of homeopathic Pollens and Histaminum during allergy season. Let the pellets melt under the tongue, or dilute them in water.
• Supplement with Quercetin (250mg 3x/day with meals), Bromelain, Vitamin C (500mg 3x/day with meals), they are natural antihistamines.
• Rinse your nose daily with a Neti pot (¼ tsp salt + 1 cup warm water), use a nasal spray a few times daily.
• Air your home early in the morning and in the evening to renew the air. Avoid using the AC which will recirculate the toxic air. There are more toxins indoor than outdoor. You can also use an air filtration device in your bedroom.
• Take a shower before bed, change your sheets weekly to reduce your exposure to the allergens and wash hands after being outside.
Happy Spring!

Virtalis Tribon adaptor VR model showing a virtual pump room of an offshore platformTHE VIRTALIS Development Team has created a Virtual Reality (VR) software adaptor that seamlessly exports data created in AVEVA's Tribon CAD package into PTC's DIVISION MockUp and Virtalis' Visionary Render.
The conduit for this development was Shanghai-based RBD Computer Technology Company, which brings Virtalis technology to Chinese industry and academia. Now Virtalis, RBD, AVEVA and PTC are working together to bring the solution to market – the Virtalis Tribon Adaptor.
Jacky Zheng, RBD's sales and marketing manager, commented:"Shipbuilding is big business in China and within this sector VR is too. Most companies have their own VR facilities and the two most commonly used software packages are Tribon and MockUp. However, we identified that moving data between these packages was no simple matter. Everyone seemed to have the same headache. Thankfully, we discussed this with Virtalis technical director, Andrew Connell, last year and he and his team have created the ultimate solution to this previously intractable problem."
Virtalis Tribon adaptor VR model showing a virtual pump room of an offshore platformVirtalis' latest breakthrough allows models created in Tribon to be easily translated into PTC's DIVISION MockUp without any loss of data or formatting. Similarly, the Virtual Reality (VR) models can move in the opposite direction and be translated into Tribon. Virtalis' Tribon Adaptor is an advance that will enable fast creation of high visual quality content for VR installations across the world so that design reviews can have better insight and manufacturing processes can be more efficient.
The first Chinese shipbuilder to install the Tribon Adaptor is Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company Limited, a leading Chinese shipbuilder. They report that, not only is the Tribon Adaptor faster than any other package that purports to do the same thing, the quality of the translated data is unsurpassed, especially in the sphere of pipe data translation.

Abby is a talented writer and her web serial has the unique fantasy feel where she draws you into an entirely different world. Personally though, I'm most jealous of her artistic flair. As the opening "credits" of books prove, few people are gifted enough at both writing and drawing to illustrate their own stories. Abby is one of those exceptions.
Me? I watched my seaside castle burn to the ground.
I only survived because the evil Empress seizing my city happened to forget that King Zam Caspian married a nymph woman and therefore his children are quite self-sufficient underwater. I suppose you could say I was a royal who found out that I was really meant to be long lost.
It's not as bad as it sounds.
My life is much more exciting that it might have been. I've smuggled Angari jewelry, impersonated duchesses, hidden crossbows in hoopskirts, and without my change in fortune I never would have met Quill.
Read the web serial about Zare here: www.zarecaspian.com
They say to write what you know, so I created a character who trains horses, speaks with water and throws a mean right hook. In lieu of speaking with water, I do, in fact, train horses and throw a mean right hook. Story has always been central to my life. When I was a child my father would read aloud after dinner—everything from The Lord of the Rings to The Royal Pavilions—and as we grew he began reading our own creative writing aloud. Also editing it as he went. There is hardly a better way to learn to write than having it lovingly shredded on a weekly basis by the resident English MA. So here I am, writing a weekly web serial adventure story, painting, training horses, and selling real estate. And of course, practicing my puncheswww.theravenslanding.com

Unanswered: Query using multiple copies of same table
I have a query I am setting up and I have two tables (SHIP and ORDER) that both contain the numeric fields (OCODE and DCODE - origin code and destination code, respectively). Both of these tables also have unique key fields ( SHIP = AS_NID and ORDER = AO_NID). There is a field in the ORDER table called AO_AS_NID, which links the SHIP and ORDER tables together.
I have a LOCATION table that contains the detailed info (name, city, state, zip, etc.) for these numeric code fields (OCODE and DCODE). This table has a unique key field called AL_NID and then a field called AL_AS_NID, which should link the SHIP table to it. It also has a field called LOCCODE, which is the field that will relate to the OCODE and DCODE fields in the other tables.
My question is this: I have tried having one copy of the location table and linking on SHIP.AS_NID -> LOCATION.AL_AS_NID. My query is going to have the SHIP.OCODE, name, city, state, zip, SHIP.DCODE, name, city, state, zip, ORDER.OCODE, name, city, state, zip, and ORDER.DCODE, name, city, state, zip. The query will run here, but it only picks up the first OCODE's details and displays them for the rest of the record. I tried making 4 copies of the LOCATION table and linking like this SHIP.OCODE -> LOC1.LOCCODE, SHIP.DCODE -> LOC2.LOCCODE, ORDER.OCODE -> LOC3.LOCCODE, and ORDER.DCODE -> LOC4.LOCCODE. When I try and run that query, it bombs out.
Can anyone help me figure this out, please? I have not done a whole lot of Access DB work lately and am quite rusty. Thanks!!

I would mind seeing you DB structure for these three tables, because it is a little hard following your explaination.
However, I beleive that you problem is the link between the Location table and the Ship table using AL_AS_NID. And why is AL_NID the primary key of the Location table and when it should be LOCCODE which you have link to OCode and DCODE (which should be the only relationhsip you need between Location table and the Ship table)
You are create to many relationships that are not needed. and it is making it hard to Access to determine what you really want.

I figured out the way I needed to handle it.
I agree, those tables are confusing as hell. Someone else created this database and I just started working here, so I am trying to figure out why in the world they structured them this way.
Anyway... I got it taken care of.. thanks for the help!!

What's the right recipe to accelerate your growth?
What's the right recipe to accelerate your growth?
EY helped a private equity-backed food and beverage company develop a data-driven growth strategy.
A private equity (PE) backed food and beverage company had big growth ambitions. The company wanted to pursue multiple routes to accelerate growth, including expanding its product range, widening its distribution network and developing a franchise of retail outlets. However, it had not conducted any detailed analysis on how best to invest for growth. Its PE backers wanted leadership to make well-informed, research-based decisions. The question emerged: how could the company determine the right recipe to accelerate its growth?
A team from Parthenon-EY — EY's corporate finance strategy group — conducted an independent, external and fact-based evaluation by analyzing local and regional market data, conducting competitor and customer research and evaluating the company's routes for growth against the market opportunity. The outcome? The client and PE backers made better-informed investment decisions that identified and prioritized growth initiatives in response to market opportunity.
Better working world
The business leaders and their PE backers were armed with a rigorous analysis of objective market data, which allowed them to take a deliberate and informed approach to accelerating growth.
Outcomes described were from a specific engagement and may not be representative of your results.

I'm Believing God!
Sharon Jaynes
Today's Truth
"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe" (Ephesians 1:18-19 NIV).
Friend to Friend
In Ephesians 1:13 we read: "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him, with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit." We believed - past tense - and were saved, sealed, delivered…we're His! It was completed in the past, once and for all time.
Now let's read a little further down in Ephesians 1:18. "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe." We received salvation when we believed (past tense). We have great power when we believe (present tense).
The Greek word for believe that is used in Ephesians 1:18 is a present active participle. That means it is a continuous action verb. Bible teacher Beth Moore explains: "In other words, the promise given in verses 19-20 is not applied to those 'having believed' as in verse 13 where they had believed to become Christians. Rather, it is applied to those who are presently, actively, and yes, continually believing God."
Maybe you believed in Jesus and experienced salvation. But do you believe the Word of God by faith and understand that you have the same power working in your life that raised Jesus from the dead? It is available to you…if you believe.
A sapling planted in the ground does not become more of a tree as it grows, it just becomes stronger and more mature. Writer Neil Anderson compares our spiritual growth to a tree: "The growth stage cannot alter the organism; it can only ensure that the organism reaches its greatest potential." As a tree's roots grow deeper it produces a greater display of leaves, more shade and beauty for others to enjoy, and stronger branches for tire swings and bird's nests, but it's still a tree. The moment you come to Christ, you are saved…you are a saint by calling with a whole new identity. There is nothing you can do to make your identity more true than at the very moment you accept Christ as your Savior, but there is much you can do to have more power in your life as you mature.
It begins by believing the truth. It is a step of faith. "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). It is "acting like God tells the truth."
Are you ready to start practicing present tense believing today? Are you ready to experience God's power in your life! If you answered yes, then buckle up. God's power is about to be demonstrated in your life in a mighty way!
Let's Pray
Dear LORD, Thank You for giving me the gift of faith. Forgive me when I doubt You. Today, I am choosing to believe. Even if circumstances seem bleak, I know that You are who you say You are and You will do what You say You will do.
In Jesus' name,
Now It's Your Turn

Discussion in 'Fiat India News' started by srida, May 26, 2012.
The Circled area reminds me of the Punto (looks more similar). Only me ?????
For me the alloys is looking similar to that of XUV 500. Did Mahindra copy this or Fiat?
Whatever... the Fiat alloys looks better than XUV's.
Yes ramjn , i too first thought of the same .. it exactly matches
yes the fiat alloys look more muscular and expensive
@Ramjn- These alloys on 500X and XUV are basically based on the same horseshoe design of alloys that is also seen on the India Punto Emotion Pack alloys besides many other cars like Ferrari, Bugatti etc.
FIAT has been using such alloy designs since a long time. Even Palio used to come with similar pattern but since they were more rounded, those alloys were said to be inspired from a telephone dialer rather than a horse shoe.

Missouri voters approve 'right to farm' law by slim margin
Dive Brief:
- Missouri voters appear to have approved an amendment to the state constitution that would guarantee a "right to farm."
- The controversial measure passed by a mere 2,528 votes - less than a third of 1% of voters.
- The vote tally is preliminary only as of press time. Missouri's Secretary of State must sign off on the results for the tally to be made official. But given the narrow margin of victory for the measure, a recount is almost inevitable.
Dive Insight:
The "right to farm" amendment makes it next-to-impossible to create new regulations involving agriculture in the state. Neither legislators nor voters can impose new laws to protect animals, human health, the environment, etc. if such a law involves agriculture. Supporters of the amendment think agriculture needs such protection to save it from animal activists and health advocates.
But the companies that buy and process agricultural goods for American consumers are already taking actions to address the concerns consumers have about such issues -- particularly the concerns about the treatment of animals. Tyson has taken steps to ban the use of gestation crates in its supply chain, for example. So has Cargill. So has Food Lion. Similar actions are being taken by corporations to address other concerns Americans have about the food supply, notably the use of antibiotics.
So the big winner under Missouri's "right to farm" law might be the WH Group, the Chinese-owned company which took control of Smithfield Foods last year, giving it ownership of at least 63 hog farms in Missouri.
The WH Group, which has a massive and insatiable market for pork to feed in China, doesn't need to respond to the concerns of American consumers. And now American consumers can't do much at all to push WH Group or others who produce food in Missouri for export to change.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Butterfly Pavilion, Westminster, CO, USA
I was a biology/life science teacher in the Jefferson County (Colorado) Public Schools for 33 years and so have had lots of experience with young people. In the Fall of 1997, the year that I retired from Jeffco, I began volunteering at the Butterfly Pavilion and have absolutely loved every minute of this experience. The entire staff is wonderful and the relationship between staff and volunteers cannot be any better than it is. The staff and the volunteers are constantly striving to make the experience for both adults and children at the Butterfly Pavilion one of highest quality. I highly recommend this facility as a Green Choice for people of all ages!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have personally experienced, and continue to experience, the goals and ideals of the Butterfly Pavilion every time that I look into the bright eyes, full of excitement, of people at the Water's Edge tidepools, in the Conservatory or in the Crawl - A - See - um where they are anxious to hold Rosie.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Expand the Rainforest Conservatory, using the plans that have already been developed. It is my wish that a corporation will make funds available to the Butterfly Pavilion so that a new and improved Rainforest Conservatory habitat for the butterflies can be built.

text: Some University of Hawaii officials and faculty members are still pushing for a Navy research center on campus despite the Faculty Senate's rejection of the project, according to an AP story. University lawyers are reviewing the contract for a Navy University Affiliated Research Center to address concerns of faculty leaders who recently voted against the proposed military partnership. The vote against the center could be overturned if 100 professors sign a petition asking for a vote of all Manoa campus faculty members, according to the report. University faculty representatives voted 31-18 against the center, with opponents expressing fear it could disrupt existing programs, set up publication restrictions on research and allow for weapons development on campus. Proponents, however, say the center, which would be the nation's first new one in more than 50 years, would bring millions in Department of Defense grants in its first five years of operation. The country's four Navy-backed centers are at the University of Washington, Penn State University, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Texas-Austin. Source: Associated Press

I've read some other threads about creating a gold card, and I was starting to understand it. However I then found another link explaining how to do it, and that if you do not have HBOOT 0.80 or 0.83 (I have 0.93) and an SLCD screen not to try and flash the phone with the same method, and I was just wondering if this applies to the methods listed on these forums If anyone could shed any light on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Error: ATIKMPAG.SYS. Bsod on startup, unable to successfully boot.
Hey Win7 forums,
Recently, my computer has been freezing while doing various things (games, web browsing, whatever.) The computer will sotp responding for a few seconds, then the screen will turn black, and after another 5 seconds, it will turn on again with a popup "AMD display driver has successfully recovered from a crash"
Now, after doing this once or twice, the computer will BSOD, with the error "ATIKMPAG.SYS"
I am completely unable to turn the computer on, as it BSOD's on startup, and then repeats its self-booting cycle.
I've updated the BIOS, (that bricked the whole thing, so i took out the BIOS battery and reset it)
I've made sure all Windows updates are installed.
I've tried MANY different driver versions. 12.10, 13.1, 13.4 beta, etc. The weirdest thing is, the last time I had updated was months ago and it was working just fine, and it was the most recent update, and then all of a sudden this starts to happen.
I've also thoroughly googled it and tried what it's suggested but that hasn't worked.
I don't know what else to try. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can you boot into Safe Mode ?
If you can, Uninstall The elements of ATI/AMD display driver (including the Catalyst Control Center) from Control Panel > Programs and Features. Then follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling to free up the leftovers. Now install another version of the display driver and observe the situation. Is it just the same? If so, it is nothing but a failing GPU. Change the GPU. In the mean time use the onboard graphics.

I've done exactly that a total of about five times now. Like i said, ive tried many different versions of the display drivers. 12.10, 13.1, 13.4 Beta......

If you get this irrespective of display drier version, it is definitely a hardware error.
Working with photoshop will be a pain with it, I guess. As per my experience. Better you either replace the GPU or use onboard graphics.

Another thing worth pointing out is that the ati driver installations go... Roughly. When i try to uninstall it sometimes, the catalyst control center says it cant find a file and doesnt uninstall. Or, itll say that no ati drivers are installed for it to uninstall. As well, sometimes when ive been installing a new/old driver, it will say that the installation completed, but with some errors. Upon opening the explanation up, i see that the drivers have never installed.
Anyways, i believe i have a successful installation on now, but it still wont boot.
And lastly, upon boot, on the motherboard welcome screen, the "Verifying dmi pool data" screen, and a few other boot screens, its covred in artifacts or small green or red dots in a regular pattern.
|My System Specs
|07 Jun 2013
To uninstall the display driver, use AMD Catalyst Un-install Utility .
Try to use the onboard graphics and see if it boots or not.

Without any drivers installed, the system boots properly.

Sorry, I just did what you had outlined in a previous post and removed the drivers completely, booting with the onboard graphics. Whenever no display driver is installed, the system boots properly (BUT, there are still artifacts covering the boot screens and POST screens upon startup.
|My System Specs
|08 Jun 2013
Is the onboard graphics is intel, try updating the driver too.
But artifacts during POST is not good .... Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.
If it comes free from error, and the artifacts continue, the fact is that the POST screen is totally generated by motherboard

Angel Soft Classic White Bath Tissue
Reviews (1166)
Media (20)
I love this toilet paper so much I'm always recommending it to others and have been since discovering them almost ten years ago! I love that they are easy on my pockets and my delicate areas. They've got a nice quilted little pattern on them so they look elegant despite the low price. But the absolute best part about them, that some more popular and more expensive brands can't seem to figure out, is that they don't leave your delicate areas covered in bits of tissue leaving you feeling dirty and unhappy. I've come across so many brands that promise you will feel clean but I'm sorry, a huge amount of tiny little fibers all over my downstairs is in no way gonna make me feel clean and when visiting someone's house I tend to use the toilet paper to soak up water and wash myself by hand when it turns out it's that type of paper. It's so frustrating! I honestly don't know how everyone isn't on the angel soft bandwagon already! You can't get any better then angel soft.
I have limited storage otherwise I'd get the bigger pack. BUT the product is just the same! AWESOME!!
You tend to buy brands your parents got or their parents. I was in a rush one day and accidentally picked this up best accident ever! I know this sounds so silly but finding good toilet paper is hard.
This is soft, durable, and really does last. I even got my family to start using it. Now we can't believe all those years we purchased something else.

It does the job it's meant to do. I like the fact that it is affordable and not to rough on my behind. I do however use flushable wet wipes in combination with this product, that is why I look more for affordability rather then extreme comfort. Over all I would recommend Angel Soft. I have been buying it for years and haven't changed brands. My house guest have never complain about it either.
Budget friendly. It works well enough, and it's much cheaper than some other brands. We go between buying this and getting a competitors product for free (my dad insists that I use it because he works for them, so he'll buy it lol). I definitely notice we have to replace the roll more often with Angel Soft, but I'm sure it still comes in at cheaper than the other brand.
Angel soft is the cheap brand that you can find anywhere. At about .99 cents for 4 rolls you can't beat it. Although it's not as thick as other more expensive brands. I'd suggest it to anyone who's on a budget or has old/bad plumbing. My house has very old plumbing that can get backed up by thicker toilet paper but Angel Soft seems to work for us just fine.
Angel soft is not my favorite go to toilet paper. I will use it when money is tight and I need it sooner rather than later. It leaves pieces behind, and doesn't feel the best. But that being said it is one that someone on a budget could use and not break the bank using. I would recommend this toilet paper to friends, even if it isn't my personal favorite.
Every now and then another brand is on sale so I give them a try. However, none are better than Angel Soft! I love the thickness, the texture, the size of each roll, and pretty much everything about this toilet paper. We are a family of 5 so super thick paper disappears too quickly and I hate extremely thin paper. Angel Soft is perfectly in the middle.
I love this brand of bathroom tissues! It's good! The price per pack is very good, and the tissues are soft. I'd say that I do use more do to the thinness of them, however. They're pretty affordable, probably due to the thinness of the product. Overall I do recommend them because it's a nice expensive option that compensates more rolls for thin paper.
This is a great toilet paper. It's personally one of my favorites not only because it's very soft, but also because it doesn't leave any shedding and is strong enough to not have to use an excessive amount. I prefer scentless things most of the time, but I would like to try the Lavender scented Angel Soft bathroom tissue soon! I would recommend.
Angel Soft bath tissue is an okay product. It's not as soft as you'd think it'd be, however, it gets the job done. Overall the product is pretty effective and for the price I have no further complaints. I would recommend this product for those who wish to save on toilet paper rather than pay for more expensive brands that get the same job done.
I heard this product is way to soft, is that true?
Do you think this is the best buy on toilet paper?
What's your favorite?
I have been looking for a new toliet . how does angel soft work for anybody? does it leave pieces behind?
Do you see much difference between the regular Angel Soft tissue to then using the Premium

With this app, my colleague Janelle was able to illustrate the story of the House of Noir group. She found a photo of each of the members to give the viewers a visual of who was a part of the House of Noir agency. Also, she presented photos of the general places we come from. For example, I am from the thriving city of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge was shown for this. She used this description on the second page of this Steller story:
The House of Noir. Full of golden-heart
jerks and a mysterious woman, the
House of Noir is certainly a wild ride.
From the shores of the west coast to
the live city streets, these 4 come
together to form a new agency. Jack
Spencer, the wealthy business man.
Sebastian Crane, the writer. Jeffrey
Davidson, the bartender. And Melody
Bay, the sultry singer. They unite as one
to create their agency, using all their
combined strengths to their advantage
and bringing a new mystery to the city.
This is House of Noir.
This Steller story summarizes how the members of the House of Noir came from different walks of life with regards to our lifestyles and where we hail from. This is meant to show that when our collaboration occurs, it is an unstoppable and breath taking force. Great minds and hearts come together for the purpose of expressing creativity and developing a mysterious agency.
Our agency we created is the House of Noir Getaways. If you would like to know more about this agency, follow more of the links on this page. You will not be disappointed. Get ready to go on the trip of your life, ladies and gentlemen.

Power Series
Difference Between Power Series and Taylor Series
Taylor series are a specific case of Power series where the constants ( usually functions of n ) are related to the derivative of the function. Many of the same techniques that work for one will work for the other.
The idea with power series is to use the fact that with a geometric series, we know it converges under certain circumstances AND we know what it converges to. So what we do is use algebra and, sometimes calculus, to write a function in the form of a geometric power series.
The geometric series equation is \(\displaystyle{ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{ar^n} = \frac{a}{1-r} }\). We will have equations where r is a function of x.
We then match the values of a and r to get the series form of the function. We also need to specify the values of r for which this series converges, i.e. \( \abs{r} < 1 \).
Why would we do this? Well, one reason is that we can convert a somewhat more complicated function into a polynomial (which happens to be infinite) and it is much easier (almost trivial) to find derivatives and integrals of polynomials.
Sometimes, you can just use algebra, to get the equation in the right form. But other times, you need to do a little more than basic algebra. If you can either take the derivative or integrate the original function to get something in the form \(\displaystyle{ \frac{a}{1-r} }\), then you can do the opposite (integrate or take the derivative) of the sum to get the original function. I'm sure by now you need an example to get your head around this. Let's watch some videos that explain these ideas in more detail with examples.
Here are several very good videos introducing and explaining power series. It will help you to watch all of them, in this order, so that you can get several different perspectives on the same topic.
This first video introduces power series and its relationship to Taylor/Maclaurin series. He also uses the example \(\displaystyle{ \sum_{ n=0 }^{\infty}{ \frac{1}{2^n}x^n } }\) to talk about under what conditions this series converges. If you have time to watch only one video, this is the one to watch.
Dr Chris Tisdell - What is a power series?
This next video clip is more theoretical than the previous one but it will help you understand why power series work.
MIT OCW - Lec 38 | MIT 18.01 Single Variable Calculus, Fall 2007
The next video is very practical, giving you the basics and showing you how to work with power series.
PatrickJMT - Power Series Representation of Functions
Manipulating Power Series
Okay, now that you know how to set up power series, you can do all kinds of manipulations of them to find power series of other functions. In this video, he discusses how to manipulate power series, by taking derivatives and integrating, in order to find power series representation of functions that are not already in geometric series form.
Dr Chris Tisdell - What is a power series?
Finding a Power Series Using The Binomial Series
The binomial series can be used to expand a special class of functions into power series.
If k is any real number and \( |x| < 1 \), then
\(\displaystyle{ (1+x)^k = 1 + kx + \frac{k(k-1)}{2!} x^2 + \frac{k(k-1)(k-2)}{3!}x^3 + . . . = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{ \left( \begin{array}{c} k \\ n \end{array} \right) x^n } }\)
where \(\displaystyle{ \left( \begin{array}{c} k \\ n \end{array} \right) = \frac{k!}{n!(k-n)!} }\)
You can also use Taylor Series Expansion to expand these kinds of functions. There are a couple of practice problems below that use this series.
Radius and Interval of Convergence
Radius and Interval of Convergence
This section is part of the discussion found on the radius and interval of convergence page, where you will find more information, videos and practice problems.
Once the Taylor series or power series is calculated, we use the ratio test to determine the radius convergence and other tests to determine the interval of convergence. Without knowing the radius and interval of convergence, the series is not considered a complete function (This is similar to not knowing the domain of a function. As we say in the page on domain and range, a fully defined function always contains information about the domain, either implicitly or explicitly stated.) In this case, we can't leave off information about where the series converges because the series may not hold for all values of \(x\).
Using The Ratio Test
The ratio test looks like this. We have a series \( \sum{a_n} \) with non-zero terms. We calculate the limit
\( \displaystyle{\lim_{n \to \infty}{\left| \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} \right|} = L} \).
There are three possible cases for the value \(L\).
\( L < 1 \): The series converges absolutely.
\( L = 1 \): The ratio test is inconclusive.
\( L > 1 \): The series diverges.
So we use the first case ( \(L<1\), since we want convergence ) and we set up the inequality \( \displaystyle{\lim_{n \to \infty}{\left| \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} \right|} < 1} ~~~~~ [ 1 ]\)
Key: Do not drop the absolute values.
Radius of Convergence
To find the radius of convergence, we need to simplify the inequality [1] to the point that we have
\( \left| x-a \right| < R \). This gives the radius of convergence as \(R\). This seems very simple but you need to be careful of the notation and wording your textbooks. Some textbooks use a small \(r\). Some textbooks ask for the ratio of convergence in which case you need to give the answer as \( \rho = 1/R \). This has always seemed kind of strange to me but there must be some reason for it. However, on this site, whenever we talk about the radius of convergence in this context, we will use \(R\) as defined above.
There are three possible cases for the radius of convergence.
series converges only at the point \(x = a\)
\( 0 < R < \infty \)
series converges in the interval
\(R = \infty \)
series converges for all \(x\)
The interesting thing is that we have a strict inequality in \( 0 < R < \infty \) and, because of the definition of the ratio test, we have no idea what happens when \( \left| x-a \right| = R \). The series could converge or diverge. The ratio test doesn't give us a clue on what happens in that case. That's where we need to find the interval of convergence, which we discuss next.
Interval of Convergence
We use the radius of convergence, \(R\), to calculate the interval of convergence as follows
\( \begin{array}{rcccl} & & \left| x-a \right| & < & R \\ -R & < & x-a & < & R \\ -R + a & < & x & < & R + a \end{array} \)
So now we have an open interval \( (-R+a, R+a) \) in which the series converges. Now we need to look at the endpoints to determine what goes on. To do that we substitute each endpoint individually for \(x\) into the series and then use the other series test to determine convergence or divergence.
Notice when we substitute \(x=-R+a\) into the \((x-a)^n\) term, we end up with \((-R)^n\) which can be simplified to \((-1)^n R^n\). Now we have an alternating series. So often, the alternating series test can be used to determine convergence or divergence. The point is that, using other tests, we need to definitively determine convergence or divergence at each endpoint. The result will be an open interval, a half-open interval or a closed interval. We call this interval, the interval of convergence.
Notice the difference between the terms radius of convergence and interval of convergence. The radius of convergence gives information about the open interval but says nothing about the endpoints. The interval of convergence includes the radius of convergence AND information about convergence or divergence of the endpoints.
See the radius and interval of convergence page page for more detail, videos and practice problems.

Each hearing aid battery comes with a color coded tab that corresponds with the battery size. Before the battery can be placed in your hearing aid you will need to remove the tab by peeling gently.
Remember to let your hearing aid battery sit un-tabbed for ONE MINUTE before placing it into your hearing aid. This step allows air to enter which is critical for use. The hearing aid battery is activated when the zinc within mixes with air from the environment.
After a minute has passed and your battery is properly activated, place your hearing aid battery into your hearing aid with the air holes facing up and lightly close the door.
You are now ready to enjoy your RAYOVAC® hearing aid battery featuring Clear Sound Technology! The improved cell design provides longer battery life while reducing those annoying early low battery tones*. Giving you the reliability you deserve, the reliability of RAYOVAC®.
*Compared to previous RAYOVAC® battery design. Based on ANSI Wireless Streaming test, Size 312
There are many factors that affect how long a hearing aid battery lasts.
As temperature is reduced, hearing aid battery voltage is lowered, which can reduce battery life.
As the physical size of the battery decreases the amount of space for the ingredients needed to power the battery also decreases. Therefore, the smaller batteries may have a shorter life.
Increased amplification is required with hearing loss severity; this results in reduced battery life.
Increased altitude results in less oxygen in the air creating lowered voltage and reduced battery life.
Features in today's hearing aids such as wireless streaming and ear-to-ear communication-can reduce battery life 20-30% based on frequency of use
The surrounding noise and volume setting of your hearing aid can both prematurely drain the battery.
Batteries can dry out or take on moisture depending on the humidity level. Both outcomes reduce battery life.

About Stepping Into Power
As women, people of color, queer, trans, and gender non-conforming leaders who are building a movement, we are constantly swimming upstream. Oppression and a competitive culture increase isolation and often pit us against each other as we scramble for limited resources.
We all know that the status quo is not working for our communities. As power becomes more centralized and farther away from the grassroots, we are faced with the stark reality that no leader or organization alone can make the changes we seek. Stepping Into Power is designed for leaders who are part of the Strong Families Network to deepen community with one another and gain transformative skills on the individual, organizational and movement leadership level.
How would we show up differently if our whole selves were welcomed and honored by our movement and each other? What would it be like for us to work together from a place of abundance rather than scarcity? What more could we achieve if we built a community of leaders who could emerge from tensions and conflict with create greater clarity and impact?
The Stepping Into Power fellowship will create community based on shared values of interdependence, reciprocity, and collaboration. It will:
- help fellows identify the leadership style that best suits their talents and strengths;
- provide tools to thrive in the midst of facing multiple challenges;
- show how to build an organization that has core strength to achieve high impact; and
- support leaders in making decisions for the big victories that happen over the long term, rather than focusing on tactical decisions for short term gains.
Stepping Into Power fellows will put the learning into action through projects that will build their capacity as individual, organizational and movement leaders. Throughout the sessions, we will be joined by master practitioners of Forward Stance, Aikido, Storytelling, and Music to harness our full individual, organizational, and collective power.

Skip to comments.California's Protected Class - Public service unions
Posted on 01/21/2005 9:40:39 PM PST by NormsRevenge
The Governor's state-of-the-state address caused quite a stir. Most Republicans were happy, most Democrats were angry, and the media -- whose impossible job for four years was to make Gray Davis look interesting -- loved it. From their perspective, Arnold has issued a declaration of war and, if nothing else, war is interesting.
For California taxpayers, the substance of Schwarzenegger's speech was "A-plus" material. Sure, the reiteration of his "no tax" pledge was the centerpiece, but this time we saw something new. The entire theme of his address was that now is the time to stop ignoring the structural problems of California finances. He openly admitted that he dislikes the budget he introduced this week because the restrictions imposed by a series of special interest amendments to the California Constitution have left him in a straight jacket unable to pursue needed reforms.
Ordinary California voters do not know the complexities of California budget problems. But at this point, they feel they don't need to know them. The spirit of the recall lives on, citizens like Schwarzenegger, and will vote -- more or less -- the way he asks them to.
Which is why -- war or not -- California finally finds itself in a unique position to do something about the extraordinary power currently wielded by public employee unions. Conventional political wisdom in this state for the last 20 years is that you can't take on the unions because of their large war chests and the fact that they will always craft their political message as "looking out for the kids" or "protecting the public from fires or bad guys." No more.
The public employee unions are now victims of their own excesses. A day hardly passes in California when some newspaper hasn't exposed some scandal about excessive pay, out of control pensions, disability fraud, bad behavior (e.g., firefighters using a fire engine to visit a "pornography ball") and the list goes on and on.
When it comes to pay, we've seen this storm brewing for a long time. Indeed, back in 1992, the American Legislative Exchange Council, a Washington, D.C. based think tank, issued the first of a series of studies: America's Protected Class: Why Excess Public Employee Compensation is Bankrupting the States. That study concluded that the tax increases at the state level were driven in large part by huge increases in public employee compensation. That study was followed in 1993 by America's Protected Class II, the second in the series but one which focused on the ever-widening gap between private and public pay. ALEC has produced two more studies, including one from just last year showing that the gap between public and private sector employees has widened substantially in the last ten years. (Visit www.alec.org for more information).
Our own research confirms that California's situation is the worst among the bad. A study prepared for the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Foundation by the California based Center for Governmental Analysis revealed some stunning findings, including:
-- Total payroll expenditures for county governments in California increased from approximately $12.1 billion in 1997 to over $17.9 billion in 2002, an increase of almost 48%.
-- Statewide, payroll expenditures for welfare system employees increased over 72%.
-- In Los Angeles County, between 1997 and 2002 the number of CalWorks welfare recipients declined 40% while the payroll expenditures for welfare system employees increased 66%.
The backlash against this insanity, by citizens who are not on public payrolls, started in earnest just a few years ago. But with Arnold at the helm, it may very well reach a crescendo in 2005.
Taxpayers do not object to public employees being fairly compensated. All we are asking is that public servants remember that they are supposed to be just that -- servants of the public. Not masters lording over taxpayers.
Arnold may have the balls to try to put a stop to this but he has to fight a DEM controlled legislature. The only way he can win is to take it to the people.
Roger Hedgecock gave an example on his San Diego radio talk show of a San Diego police Lt. who is retiring in his mid-50s and will be getting a $700,000 lump sum plus $150,000 per year for life. CA public pensions are completely out of control. It is grossly unfair that private workers are forced to contibute 12% of their pay to the SS ponzi scheme (San Diego public employees do not pay SS tax), facing likely SS benefit cuts and retirement age increases, while public employees are retiring early on a kings ransom.
I don't object to public servants being fairly compensated. I do strenously oppose their treating us as a cash cow.
Exactly. Its just unreasonably excessive. These people are supposed to work for the public interest not the other way around. Public employees need to be reminded they work for the taxpayers and the taxpayers don't work for them.
Here is the crux of the article in my opinion. Plenty of Freepers fall for this line of thinking when their favorite public employees union, usually prison guards or police, yelp.
This is what will motivate most people to support cutting their benefits. The behavior of public employees has worsened as their compensation has grown. The arrogance can be breathtaking.

1. What is your website?
2. Your Ravelry username?
3. What do you make?
We raise Cormo sheep and Angora goats for fiber, which is processed into roving, combed top and yarn.
4. How did you get into making stuff?
About ten year's ago, I became completely overwhelmed by the amount of stuff my (now ex-) husband and I received as wedding and Christmas present. There was just this huge pile of gifts and we didn't need anything. It really depressed me. I decided that from then on I was going to make everyone's Christmas gifts and asked my family to do the same. I got a book and tried to teach myself to knit that same weekend. FAIL! I ended up signing up for a class at my LYS and was hooked. The irony, of course, is that I immediately started building up a world-class yarn stash! So much for my anti-consumerism...
Within a year, I had purchased my first small flock of sheep and a pair of Angora goats. I started my business selling premium yarns and rovings and shepherding has been my full-time job for three years.
Today, in addition to selling yarn and spinning fibers, we operated the first Fiber CSA in the country and have opened our home to farm stays for people looking for a knitting retreat with the sheep. Would-be shepherds can attend our Shepherding Camp to get a taste of what owning sheep is really like.
5. What is your favorite thing about the local fiber community?
When we moved our farm down from Martha's Vineyard, I couldn't believe the welcome we received from the knitters and spinners of the Mid-Atlantic. So many people sent emails and cards, offered to help come by the farm to help us unpack and even sent gift baskets! We love it here in Virginia; it feels like home.
6. How does what you do/make influence the rest of your life, and vice versa?
Oh gosh. I don't have a lot of work/life
7. Any funny stories, words of wisdom, something else to share about you or your business?
Making your hobby into your business is dangerous and a little scary, but it's also the most rewarding thing I've ever done. The people I've met and friends I've made in this business mean the world to me.

February 13, 2017 – Today, Manhattan Council Members joined colleagues, small business owners, and Manhattan leaders in support of legislation introduced by Council Members Dan Garodnick, Helen Rosenthal, Corey Johnson, and Margaret Chin, and Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, to bring long-overdue reform to the Commercial Rent Tax (CRT).
"New York City is nothing without its small neighborhood businesses," said Council Member Dan Garodnick. "These stores are anchors of communities and engines of employment -- as policymakers, we must ensure that they can thrive. Our legislation will bring direct relief to thousands of New York City small business owners and lift the significant burden of this tax. We cannot let another fiscal year pass without enacting this long-overdue reform."
The first bill, sponsored by Council Member Garodnick and Council Member Helen Rosenthal, would raise from $250,000 to $500,000 the minimum rent at which commercial premises become subject to the CRT.
A second bill, sponsored by Council Member Garodnick and Council Member Corey Johnson, would extend the CRT exemption to include the cost of space used for advertising theatrical works.
A third bill, sponsored by Council Member Johnson, with Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer, would exempt certified supermarkets from the commercial rent tax, regardless of the amount of rent paid.
The final bill in this package, sponsored by Council Members Helen Rosenthal and Margaret Chin, would require the Department of Finance to issue an annual report on the commercial rent tax.
"The Commercial Rent Tax is a serious burden for small businesses in the heart of Manhattan. Although it most directly impacts neighborhoods like mine on the Upper West Side, its negative consequences affect all New Yorkers, as the middle-class jobs that small businesses provide help the entire city prosper. It is essential that we work to foster entrepreneurship in Manhattan, and I look forward to working with Council Member Garodnick and our allies to ensure that our small businesses are protected," said Council Member Helen Rosenthal.
"Our small businesses deserve relief from this antiquated and unfair commercial rent tax," said Council Member Margaret S. Chin. "These businesses are not only an essential source of income for owners and their workers, they also provide vital services to our neighborhoods. Unfortunately, in part due to this burdensome tax, these businesses are being forced out – taking fresh and affordable food options, convenient services, and local character with them. With rents and other costs continuing to rise, we must act to protect these small businesses before more stores are forced to close their doors."
"Affordable supermarkets are lifelines for our communities," said Council Member Corey Johnson. "As the cost of living continues to rise, these stores help ensure that our city can continue to accommodate the seniors and working class families that built our city into what it is today. The proposal that Borough President Gale Brewer and I have put forward would give our neighborhood supermarkets a fighting chance for survival. It's good for business and it's good for our communities. I'd like to thank Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer for her incredible work on this, as well as Council Member Daniel Garodnick for leading this important charge on much-needed Commercial Rent Tax reform."
"It makes no sense to punish businesses by adding a nearly 4 percent tax to their rent, just because they decided to open up shop between 96th Street and the Financial District," said Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer. "Councilmember Garodnick's reform proposal is a good start, and I support it. I'm also sponsoring legislation with Councilmember Corey Johnson to exempt affordable supermarkets from this tax entirely, and in the long term we need to start thinking about a full repeal. This tax is an unfair relic of a bygone financial crisis, and it hurts the businesses we need here the most."
Currently, CRT applies to all businesses paying over $250,000 a year in rent, and is a 3.9 percent surcharge on their base rent, paid to the city. The proposal would remove that tax entirely for businesses paying less than $500,000 in rent, and provide a credit to businesses with rents between $500,000 and $550,000. Analyses have determined that approximately 4,000 businesses would benefit.
When CRT was first introduced in 1963, it only affected large businesses. Yet today's real estate situation is a far cry from that of the 1960s. Numbers from the Independent Budget Office (IBO) show that the number of Manhattan businesses paying CRT increased by more than 62% from 2013 to 2015. At the same time, the average CRT bill actually decreased from $96,589 to $68,536. These two figures demonstrate a troubling trend: more and more businesses are paying just above $250,000 in rent annually. Because the growth has been on the lower end, the businesses stuck with CRT bills are often independently owned stores and Manhattan mom-and-pops.
Our beloved neighborhood institutions are already being pinched by market forces. From 2012-2015 alone, commercial rents jumped 42%. Government should do all in its power to support our small businesses. Yet with CRT, government gets in the way, adds an additional costly burden, and takes businesses one step closer to shutting their doors for good.
CRT is unwise public policy. It is a double tax – landlords pay property taxes, and generally pass that cost on to their commercial tenants, who then they pay commercial rent tax on the very same space. It's also unfair because it is not only inapplicable in any other borough, but it is also inconsistent even within Manhattan. Businesses on the north side of 96th Street haven't been obligated to pay CRT since the 1990s, and certain areas in lower Manhattan received a post-9/11 exemption, which is still on the books to this day.
"Our mom and pop shops need all the help they can get, but as a city we have been consistently overtaxing them," said Council Member Ben Kallos. "I am proud to join Council Members Garodnick and Rosenthal in supporting small business relief with Int. 799-A."
"As Chair of the Council's Committee on Small Business, the success of the roughly 200,000 small businesses in New York City is of the utmost importance to me. Of all the businesses in New York City, 98 percent are small and provide the critical local jobs and services that make our city the vibrant place it is. As we continue to develop new policies that assist small business owners adapt to the ever-changing marketplace, we must use all the tools we can to make it easier for them to operate their businesses. We've managed to reduce business fines and fees and now – as I said two years ago when my colleagues introduced this bill – we should eliminate the commercial rent tax. This will bring direct financial relief to small businesses in Manhattan's costliest commercial districts and highlight our commitment to the businesses that make our City great," said Councilmember Robert E. Cornegy, Jr., Small Business Committee Chair.
"New York City has the unfortunate distinction of being the only municipality in the United States where businesses in Manhattan are required to pay a 3.9 percent tax on their rent, resulting in a disincentive to create more jobs and expand business activity. This is only one of many barriers to small business growth imposed by the city. Since 2008, the number of businesses with fewer than five employees has grown nine percent, but there has been only a one percent increase in businesses with more than 50 employees. The commercial rent tax should be eliminated. Council member Garodnick's legislation is a positive first step toward removing this tax on growth," said Kathryn Wylde, President & CEO of the Partnership for New York City.
"We are absolutely delighted to see steps being taken to help reduce the pressure and provide tax relief for our small merchants. It has been said many times that small businesses -- such as all the hardworking mom-and-pops in Chinatown, Little Italy, and LES -- are the backbone of the economy. We look forward to a quick passage of Intro 799-A," said Wellington Z. Chen, Executive Director of the Chinatown Partnership.
"The Commercial Rent Tax is an unjust surcharge that poses significant financial burdens on beloved Manhattan restaurants. We commend Council Member Daniel Garodnick for walking-the-walk by proposing to exempt thousands of local businesses from this undue financial burden. We urge the city of New York to pass this legislation that supports our diverse culinary culture and preserves the character that small businesses bring to our neighborhoods," said Andrew Rigie, Executive Director of the NYC Hospitality Alliance.
"Restaurants across Manhattan have been crying out for legislation like this and we applaud Councilmember Garodnick for bringing this much needed issue to the forefront,"saidKevin Dugan, Regional Director for the NYS Restaurant Association. "With profit margins smaller than ever before, restaurants are forced to look for savings wherever they can find them. This legislation will allow many restaurants to escape the crippling commercial rent tax, allowing them to flourish and continue to act as an important economic engine for this city."
"The commercial rent tax is a tax that punishes small businesses for paying too much in rent. If Manhattan wants to preserve the community of small businesses that is such an important part of its history and neighborhood vitality, the tax laws need to make it easier, not harder, for stores like Whisk to stay in business," said Natasha Amott, owner of Whisk NYC.
Additionally, the Finance Committee considered legislation sponsored by Council Member Garodnick and Council Member Johnson, which would include the cost of advertising space in the CRT exemption received by theaters across the five boroughs.
The theater community's impact on the New York City economy is undeniable. During the 2014-2015 season, the Broadway industry contributed $12.57 billion to the economy of New York City and supported 89,000 jobs. In the most recent season, there were a record breaking 13.3 million admissions to Broadway shows alone.
Theaters in New York City are currently exempt from paying CRT for the first 52 weeks of a show's run. This brings much needed relief to these companies, who face a lot of financial uncertainty when producing new plays and musicals. Extending the 52 week CRT exemption to cover theater advertisements, including billboards, will create more certainty, eliminate a financial burden, and bring more clarity to the rules surrounding this industry's CRT exemption, making it a bit easier for arts to thrive in New York City.
"The Broadway League, the trade association for the commercial theatre industry in New York and across America, strongly supports Introductions 799 and 1107. While a small number of shows find Hamilton-like success, four of five Broadway productions never recoup their original capitalization even if they run for two or more years. These two bills will provide much-needed financial relief for New York's small and mid-size businesses, important cultural institutions and other major job creators. The League applauds and thanks Councilmembers Garodnick and Johnson for their continued leadership and support for the live entertainment industry," said Charlotte St. Martin, President of the Broadway League.
"It is crucial that New York City takes steps to remain competitive in an evolving marketplace, which is why the Alliance supports both Intro. 799-A and Intro. 1107-A, which will provide great help to the small and mid-sized businesses and the 40 Broadway theaters that make up the heart of Times Square," said Tim Tompkins, President of the Times Square Alliance.
"The Broadway industry employs 90,000 people and regularly employs approximately 10,000 union members. A single show can create employment for hundreds of workers across more than a dozen unions and, if successful, provide ongoing employment for years. Our members welcome the Council's efforts to help live entertainment thrive in New York City and support Introductions 799 and 1107," said Anthony DePaulo, International Vice President of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts ("IATSE").
