Introduction to Structural Health Monitoring (4:00-5:00 MST) M,T,TH, F. You can call at anytime, but I will make every effort to be in my office at the times listed.
We were involved in several experimental projects that required damage detection:
Damage required damage detection:will be defined as changes to the material and/or geometric properties of a structural or mechanical system, including changes to the boundary conditions and system connectivity, that adversely affect current or future performance of that system.
Implicit in this definition of damage is a comparisonbetween two different states of the system.Definition of "Damage"
All materials used in engineering systems have some inherent initial flaws.
Under appropriate loading flaws will grow and coalesce to the point where they produce component level failure.Definition of "Damage"
Structural Health Monitoring is the process of implementing a damage detection strategy for aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering infrastructure.
The SHM process involves:
The observation of a system over time using periodically sampled dynamic response measurements from an array of sensors.
The extraction of damage-sensitive features from these measurements.
The statistical analysis of these features is then used to determine the current state of system health.
Note: SHM can make use of Non Destructive Evaluation techniques (SE163, 252)Definition of Structural Health Monitoring
For long term SHM, the output of this process is periodically updated information regarding the ability of the structure to perform its intended function in light of the inevitable aging and degradation resulting from operational environments.
After extreme events, such as earthquakes or blast loading, SHM is used for rapid condition screening and aims to provide, in near real time, reliable information regarding the integrity of the structure.Structural Health Monitoring (cont.)
Non-Destructive Evaluation periodically updated information regarding the ability of the structure to perform its intended function in light of the inevitable aging and degradation resulting from operational environments.

Local damage detection methods, referred to as Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE), are well developed and widely used.
These methods have difficulty when large surface areas need to be inspected and when the damage lies below the surface.

Defines the sensing hardware and the data to be used in the feature extraction process.
3. Feature extraction
The process of identifying damage-related information from measured data.
4. Statistical model development for feature discrimination
Classifies feature distributions into damaged or undamaged category.
Data Cleansing Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE), are well developed and widely used.
The process of selectively choosing data to pass on to, or reject from, the feature selection process
Example: discarding data from a faulty sensor
Data Normalization
The process of separating changes in the measured system response caused operational and environmental variability from changes caused by damage
Example: Temperature compensating circuit for strain measurements.
Data Fusion
The process of combining data from multiple sensors in an effort to enhance the fidelity of the damage detection process
Example: Estimating a mode shape from sensor array data
Data Compression
Reducing the dimensionality of the data
Example: Estimating modal frequencies from sensor dataDefining Some Terms
High Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE), are well developed and widely used.

Strength of ModelPattern Recognition vs. First Principles
Note: Models of complex failure mechanisms tend to be weak
Supervised learning Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE), are well developed and widely used.: Data are available from undamaged and damaged system.
Unsupervised learning: Data are available only from the undamaged system.
Three general types of statistical models for structural health monitoring:
Group classification (supervised, discrete)
Regression analysis (supervised, continuous)
Identification of outliers (unsupervised)
Statistical models are used to answer five questions regarding the damage state of the system.Statistical Model Building
Statistical models are also used to avoid incorrect diagnosis of damageStatistical Model Building (cont.)

Must integrate data interrogation procedures with sensing technology to develop effective structural health monitoring solutions
Structural Health Monitoring is the process of transforming sensor data into information about the damage state of the system.
In most cases Structural Health Monitoring technology is not as mature as Non-Destructive Evaluation.
Currently, lots of research efforts underway to develop structural health monitoring technology for a wide variety of aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering applications.

My mother always called it the eventuality. Not the maybe, or the probably. It's going to happen, she would tell me calmly. I even know when. It's a twist in my stars. It's written there, and we have to accept it. My mother, Joanne Nielsen Crowe. She has a name, she's not a was.Avicenna Crowe's mother, Joanne, is an astrologer with uncanny predictive powers and a history of being stalked. Now she is missing.The police are called, but they're not asking the right questions. Like why Joanne lied about her past, and what she saw in her stars that made her so afraid. But Avicenna has inherited her mother's gift. Finding an unlikely ally in the brooding Simon Thorn, she begins to piece together the mystery. And when she uncovers a link between Joanne's disappearance and a cold-case murder, Avicenna is led deep into the city's dark and seedy underbelly, unaware how far she is placing her own life in danger.Pulse-racing and terrifyingly real, The Astrologer's Daughter is a stunning, original novel. It will test your belief in destiny and the endurance of love.
It's always been Avicenna and her mother, since her father passed away, but now Joanne Nielsen Crowe is missing. The eccentric Astrologer has always been in demand, possessing a gift passed down each generation, resting now with Avicenna. Avicenna has only been known as The Astrologer's Daughter by her mother's clients, her mother using their small apartment to read a client through their stars, being paid in ornaments and trinkets which now clutter their home. With nowhere to turn, Avicenna contacts the police who confiscate journals containing her last known clients, while Avicenna is expected to go about her everyday life, including school. At school where she was once teased due to her disfigurement, now the halls part for the girl who's mother is presumed to have met with foul play. Her mother had always instilled in Avicenna to left no stone unturned, so when previous clients come knocking, Avicenna begins the task of finishing what her mother began.
Avicenna also holds the gift of reading past, present and futures, from the man who insists on knowing when he'll come to pass and how, the elderly mother who needs to find her daughters killer, to the young, cocky and irresistibly handsome Hugh, who was promised a reading. Where Avicenna won't deny her mother's clients closure, somewhere, her mother is still out there. With her unfinished game of Words With Friends, alone and possibly now resting with Avicenna's father. With a major assessment due, Avicenna has little time for study, even at the insistence of overachiever Simon, who surprisingly isn't the wealthy and put together boy Avicenna had thought he was. It soon becomes apparent that Simon is as invested in her mother's case as Avicenna is, and begins to rely on the boy who once called her Frankencrowe due to her scarring.
But as the stars begin to align in her mother's unfinished cases, Avicenna begins to see a pattern between two cases she is completing and perhaps why her mother disappeared. But will she be too late?
Kelly's Thoughts
The Astrologer's Daughter was a unique contemporary, with a mythical element, depending how you perceive the gift of Astrology. It follows the story of Avicenna, who is in the midst of discovering that her mother is now missing and now fears she has lost two parents in devastating circumstances. Her mother has always instilled in her the importance of tying up loose ends, so when previous clients come knocking, Avicenna takes it upon herself to start their readings and finish what her mother seemingly couldn't. The police are skeptical of her mother's gift and believes it may be the reason she's disappeared under mysterious circumstances, but with little to go upon, the search for the truth isn't easy and Avicenna takes it upon herself to discover what her mother was working on.
Avicenna is a sassy and smart young woman, who's grief is simmering just beneath the surface. But true to her word, she picks herself up and begins to discover that being exposed to her mother's gift has left her with the knowledge and know how to carry on her work. What was so striking, was Avicenna's ability to pull herself together, when she should have been close to being inconsolable. I enjoyed the brief explanations of how she used a name, birthdate and time to determine a personality or history, but the longer passages were borderline tedious and too difficult to immerse myself in. Perhaps a short preface as an introduction would have allowed me to connect to the storyline more so, as Astrology is not all that familiar to me.
There are two love interests in Avicenna's life, handsome and wealthy client Hugh and the over achieving Simon who holds a secret of his own, but luckily it doesn't translate into a love triangle, as neither boy seems to be overly interested. The obvious choice of Avicenna's misguided feelings should have been towards Simon, who once her academic nemesis, sleeps on her couch. But even in the midst of the investigation, she described Hugh as her Dream Man, which seemed to be more a case of confusing interest with being romantically inclined towards her. It felt awkward and I was more interested in finding what happened to her mother, than Avicenna's love life.
The Final Verdict
Overall, it was a interesting read and while Rebecca Lim spun an intriguing and unique storyline, I couldn't find a connection to the characters or Avicenna's missing mother. The situation should have been heartbreaking, but the emotion and grief over not knowing what happened to her mother felt as though Avicenna had accepted her mother was gone and possibly felt more for her mother's clients. I adored the mythology behind the gift they had shared, but it wasn't enough to keep me enthralled. The ending felt very much incomplete and almost whimsical. Although the I enjoyed aspects of The Astrologer's Daughter, I just couldn't find a connection sadly.
We Were Liars
The Sinclairs are the white, all American family, Democrats, manipulative and entitled. Her grandparents have been bringing their three daughters to the island every summer since Cady could remember. Through births, divorces and lies. Now it's Cady and her two cousins Johnny and Mirren, along with Gat, the Nephew of her Aunt Carrie's partner. The teens, along with their mothers, will carry on the legacy of returning to Beechwood each year. They leave their lives behind, because the Island is an escape. Cady begun to see Gat as something more. They understood one another, the wealthy Sinclair girl and the outsider, equals and falling in love... Until the accident.
Now Cady is seventeen and returns to the Island in the hope of remembering...
I simply can't review We Were Liars coherently, it was phenomenal. From the very first page, it grabbed my attention and unraveled a storyline that left me in tears, shaking and on the verge of a literature breakdown. We Were Liars is the perfect example why I read young adult, how a novel with so few pages can have an incredible impact on the reader. I wondered if this would be just another heavily recommended book that would fall flat, but he writing was impeccable, short sharp sentences intended to draw you into the world of the Sinclairs. Personally I absolutely adored it. It gave me a sense of arrogance that came with the Sinclair name and not so much as telling a story, but stating facts.
I knew very little about the actual storyline and tried to remain as oblivious as possible, which only added to the intensity and left me on the verge of a manic hysteria. I read long into the night and with only a small few pages to go, I was pacing the house.
Forgive me, it's been two weeks since I had the privilege of unraveling We Were Liars, and my state of mind can still only be described as...

Winner of the 2013 Queensland Literary Award, Best Emerging Author.When you're at the end of the line with nowhere to turn, how far would you go to protect the one you love?A man is found dead in an inner-city suburb, a police officer walks the blurry line between duty and loyalty, and a young woman from the wrong side of the tracks is on the run. Ana soon becomes a suspect in the murder investigation, and as sole carer for her younger sister is desperately trying to stay ahead of the law. In a surprising twist, the detective in charge of the case is no stranger and Ana is forced to face her past and the things she has left behind. Unsure of who she can trust and isolated by her crime, Ana is drawn into a passionate affair that breaks all the rules.From the winner of the 2013 Queensland Literary Awards, Best Emerging Author category, Gap combines a gripping crime thriller with a style evocative of Dorothy Porter's cult classic, The Monkey's Mask.
Ana's life has never been carefree, she's never truly lived, only merely survived. Now as the sole carer for her sister Indie, she works to allow Indie to live the life that was never offered to Ana after her father walked out of their lives, while their neglectful mother consistently chose her string of boyfriends at the expense of her daughters. But now it seems Ana will be forced to pay for her past.
After an altercation, the police come looking for Ana, but she never expected her former partner and high school sweetheart Sawyer to come knocking on her door again. With Indie to look out for, Ana begins to worry what will happen to her underage sister and the urge to flee town seems to be Ana's only option. Until her mother hears of her alleged crime.
Never having cared for Indie's welfare, her mother now demands that the teen return home, providing the police with further ammunition to suspect Ana. The fierce need to protect her sister, the unresolved feelings between her and Sawyer and on the verge of facing incarceration, who can Ana turn to?
Kelly's Thoughts
Told in verse, Gap follows the sorrowful storyline of Ana, who had just reached the lowest point in her life thus far. After being kicked out of her mother's home at only sixteen, Ana has struggled to survive, but after taking in her underage sister Indie, it's given Ana a reason to pick herself and provide a life that their mother couldn't and Ana will do anything to keep Indie safe.
What I found so striking about Ana was her realism. Her emotions, willingness to admit her past mistakes and give everything she has to protect and provide for Indie. Her emotions, her genuine fear and her unconditional love for the girl who also rescued her in turn is honest, raw and readers will not only find themselves drawn to Ana, but can relate to her downfall. But being a prime suspect in a murder case will unravel the girl who is just barely keeping her life together.
Although she's made many questionable life decisions, Ana isn't a hardened criminal, she's merely a girl who finds herself in a situation now where she'll need to fight for her innocence, regardless of the legitimacy. As the storyline reveals itself, we see Ana's internal struggle against her only option, to admit defeat or fight to the bitter end. But hope comes in the form of her former partner, who Ana admits she can no longer trust. I loved Gap, the short, punchy style of verse not only had an enormous impact, but was incredibly engaging and left my heart aching for Ana and her situation.
My only complaint is that it felt unresolved, but rather it's left to the reader to interpret how Ana's story will end. But an incredibly worthy winner of the 2013 Queensland Literary Award for the Best Emerging Author.

I have three months left to call Katie my older sister. Then the gap will close and I will pass her. I will get older. But Katie will always be fifteen, eleven months and twenty one days old.Hannah's world is in pieces and she doesn't need the school counselor to tell her she has deep seated psychological issues. With a seriously depressed mum, an injured dad and a dead sister, who wouldn't have problems?Hannah should feel terrible but for the first time in ages, she feels a glimmer of hope and isn't afraid anymore. Is it because the elusive Josh is taking an interest in her? Or does it run deeper than that?In a family torn apart by grief and guilt, one girl's struggle to come to terms with years of torment shows just how long old wounds can take to heal.
It's been twelve long, lonely months since Katie passed away and Hannah still morns her sister each and every day. Her father is physically broken, and her mother is mentally absent, morning for her eldest daughter and no longer functioning. Katie was the elder of the two sisters, the party girl who her peers respected, followed and very much loved. Hannah has always been seen as a social pariah. As Hannah navigated the world of high school and cliques, she'd believed that her childhood best friend would be by her side. But as the popular girls begun to take an interest in recruiting, Hannah found herself alone once more. Invited to parties as nothing more than a cruel joke, taunted, all while older sister Katie looked the other way. Hannah lost Katie long before she died.
After Katie had passed, the taunting has stopped but replaced by a forlorn pit. Her parents refuse to communicate beyond the required parental concern, and her only friend is that of her newest in a long line of mental health experts, school counselor Anna. Anna sees that Hannah is struggling with panic attacks and a lack of social interaction, but with the court case and her testimony fast approaching, Hannah begins to retreat within herself once more. Her father claims he can't remember and all Hannah knows is that regardless of what her mother believes, the accident was through no fault of his own.
But hope arrives in the guise of Josh, new student, popular and sees that there is more to Hannah than a broken girl in mourning. Despite her best efforts to push Josh away, He won't be swayed, and is determined to get to know the girl that no one else will.
Kelly's Thoughts
Claire Zorn, you are incredible. I absolutely loved Claire's dystopian, The Sky so Heavy and The Protected is absolutely brilliant. The characters are beautifully intricate, well developed with a raw and realistic quality. Claire allows each narrative to deliver their thoughts with a sassy and sarcastic wit, which is not only clever, but allows the reader to relate and invest in her characters through humour. The Protected follows the same premise, but explores the heartbreak of losing a family member, the breakdown of the family unit who are grieving and learning to live again.
While my heart ached for Hannah, I absolutely adored Josh. Even though he was aware of Hannah's grief, he never felt the need to console or tread lightly around the discussion of Katie's passing. He was a symbol of hope that Hannah was able to use as her anchor, as well as school counselor Anna. Anna was brilliant. A no nonsense woman who Hannah also felt connection to while her world was caving in. While both parents seemingly struggled to live for the daughter that lived, both were too consumed by grief and guilt to worry how Hannah was fairing.
It was an amazing story told in shades of grey, proving that grief is a personal journey to which we all endure individually. Claire Zorn is one of Australia's young adult authors that all authors should take note of. She can captivate an audience, paint us into her world with characters that stay with us long after the final page is read.

'I still dream about Anna London's house. In my dreams it's as if the house itself has sinister intentions. But in real life it wasn't the house that was responsible for what happened. It was the people who did the damage...'When Tim Ellison finds a cheap room to rent in the perfect location in Sydney it looks like a huge stroke of luck. In fact the room comes with a condition, and the owner of the house, the mysterious Anna London, is unfriendly and withdrawn. When strange and terrifying things start happening in the house at night, Tim wonders if taking the room is a mistake. But then his feelings for Anna start to change, and when her past comes back with a vengeance, Tim is caught right in the middle of it.A thrilling rollercoaster of a story, read it with the lights on!
Tim can't continue sleeping on friend, and former flame Lilla's couch, so when Lilla pushes him into finding somewhere else to live, he can't believe his luck when a room for board is available at Fairview, cheap and with so few conditions. His new housemate is twenty year old Anna, quaint, quiet and suffers from the debilitating condition of Agoraphobia, an anxiety disorder in which renders her scared of stepping beyond the doors of her own home. In exchange for a measly weekly rental fee, Tim agrees to run simple errands for Anna and simply keep her company in the monstrous nineteenth century home. Anna has lived alone since the death of her parents in a horrific accident three years prior, and while she and her mother didn't get along, she adored her father despite his blatant flirting and womanising, not to mention the unfaithfulness that her mother has always accused him of.
It isn't long before Tim realises that living at Fairview isn't as ideal as first thought. Anna isn't one for conversation, no matter how incredibly lonely she's been. She cries herself to sleep each night, often calling out to what Tim believes is a lost love. The only friends that Anna has come to rely on, are sibling that may in fact be even stranger than she. But for all her quirks, Anna is still not the strangest attraction of Fairview. The presence through the house, being watched while he's asleep, Tim needs answers... And Anna has a story to tell.
Kelly's Thoughts
Sweet Damage was a surprising, heart stopping thrill ride that I simply couldn't put down. The storyline follows Tim, who works in the family restaurant and spends his free time surfing and sleeping on his former girlfriends couch. Moving out, he moves into Fairview, an incredible heritage home, with cheap rent in exchange for running errands for the strange recluse Anna. Anna is an incredible character and I found myself endeared almost immediately. The living arrangements are incredibly awkward, but rather than distance himself, Tim simply wants to know who Anna is and mistakenly shares his concerns with Lilla. Lilla is over confident and lacks a social filter, often appearing to be uncaring, rude and painfully blunt and although in a relationship, Tim still pines for her. Although I have no idea why. Lilla was little more than a loudmouthed attention seeker and considering she accused Tim of struggling through his own life, she's irritating and barely tolerable in small doses.
The mixture of manic terror, mystery and suspense is enthralling and I loved every delicious moment. Rebecca James created an incredible thriller that left me guessing until the very end.

Both fun and playful, Stavanger's poems display wit and beguiling originality. They shift from the oddball to the vulnerable and from the zany to the deeply meditative.
Stavanger's collection embodies a spirit of the post post modern in both intellect and spark, while playing off cool disjunctions against electrifying erudition. There is a strong trace of the performative and dramatic in these poems, Stavanger's flair for performance poetry gives this award winning collection a distinct and likeable flavour.

What if a microchip could identify your perfect match?What if it could be used against you and the ones you love?Eight years ago, Mercer Corporation's M Bands became mandatory. An evolution of the smartphone, the bracelets promised an easier life. Instead, they have come to control it. Two years ago, Maggie Stevens watched helplessly as one of the people she loves most was taken from her, shattering her world as she knew it. Now, Maggie is ready. And Quentin Merce, heir to the M Corp empire. has become key to Maggie's plan. But as the pieces of her dangerous design fall into place, could Quentin's involvement destroy everything she's fought for?In a world full of broken promises, the ones Maggie must keep could be the most heartbreaking.
It's been two years for eighteen year old Maggie Stevens since her father was taken from her and imprisoned, and she'll do anything to find him. Nine years ago, it was decided that citizens would be required to wear an M Band, a simple device fitted to your wrist that ensures the government has access to your health rating, who a potential partner may be and if you register as a Negative, lesser citizens who are seen to be on the verge of being nothing more than a disturbance. So how did a kind and gentle man such as Maggie's father, a model citizen, register a series of Negatives?
Maggie is deeply entrenched into the seedy underworld of illegal bands, and accessing the tunnels that run under the cities. While the M Corporation educates the community on the rehabilitation of the Negative citizens, supposedly being treated in sprawling self sufficient farms, Maggie knows the truth. The unwanted population are taken prisoner and held in underground societies known as Pods, where hundreds, if not thousands, live in poverty and never to see the light of day again. Maggie suspects her father is one of the prisoners, but she'll need the heir to the M Corporation empire, fellow student Quentin Mercer's help.
With hacker and M Corporation employee Gus in her debt, Maggie sees to it that Quentin knows first hand what it feels like to be a Negative, ensuring that the wealthy and handsome eighteen year old's status will get her what she needs to find her father before Cleaning Day, when she may lose him forever. In exchange for her silence and aiding to mask Quentin's rating, Maggie wants access to his father's files, meanwhile keeping up the ruse that the two are now somewhat of a couple. But Maggie begins to realise that there is far more to Quentin than the Mercer family name, and his horror of the control and oppression hidden from his society.
Kelly's Thoughts
Disruption was brilliant. Following the story of Maggie, who'll stop at nothing to free her father from injustice by bribing and blackmailing those around her, a mission she's been working towards since her father was taken two years prior. Quentin plays a pivotal role in gaining access to the Mercer run pods, where Maggie believes her father is being kept. The only way she can recruit Quentin, is to offer to manipulate the eighteen year old into believing he too is a Negative, which would all but destroy his life, his family and find himself being detained. Throughout the storyline, we see Maggie begin to struggle with her deception as she begins to see that there is more to the heir of the M Corporation.
Maggie is incredibly sassy, tough and street smart. I loved her interactions with Gus, a technical expert which she is also blackmailing. He loathes her and longs for her demise, but as non compliant as he claims to be, he's somewhat of a trusted friend. If only Maggie could see how important Gus is. Quentin is an incredibly likable character, down to earth, passionate and although he doesn't realise hes being manipulated, he's incredibly trusting considering he feels he has nothing left to fight for. As the two teens explore the world that Quentin's father has created, the horrors and unjust treatment of those who Quentin believe were once in his position, brings the two closer together, learning to lean on one another. That ending? When it seems all is lost, a glimmer of hope left me wanting, no needing, more.
Not only is Disruption superbly written, but the storyline is explosive, the characters engaging, underhanded but still incredibly charming. This is my first Jessica Shirvington read, and it was phenomenal. I love my dystopian young adult and Disruption is one of the best I've read.

The setting: Razorhurst, 1932. The fragile peace between two competing mob bosses, Gloriana Nelson and Mr Davidson, is crumbling. Loyalties are shifting. Betrayals threaten.Kelpie lives on the mean streets of Surry Hills in Sydney, where the seedy underworld struggle to maintain a truce, where men slash each other with razors instead of guns, and how a young girl on the streets leaves her fate in the hands of the ghosts who guide her. She's hungry and can't remember the last time she ate, now that Snowie is in prison, the man she grew up with before her guardian died and her main source of finding her next meal. On the advice of a spirit, Kelpie finds an derelict house which promises apples in abundance. But what Kelpie finds is Dymphna, dressed immaculately and standing over a dead body.
Kelpie knows the dangers of the Sydney streets. Ghosts have kept her alive, steering her to food and safety, but they are also her torment. Dymphna is Gloriana Nelson's 'best girl', experienced in surviving the criminal world, but she doesn't know what this day has in store for her.
When Dymphna meets Kelpie over the corpse of Jimmy Palmer, Dymphna's latest boyfriend, she pronounces herself Kelpie's new protector. But Dymphna's life is in danger too, and she needs an ally. And while Jimmy's ghost wants to help, the dead cannot protect the living...
Dymphna is Glory's best girl, with only the toughest Razormen spending an evening in her company. Known on the streets as the Angel of Death, Dymphna is never long without a man for protection, until her latest boyfriend and conspirator Jimmy is killed violently, with only a note from Mr. Davidson as a warning. Glory and Mr. Davidson run Razorhurst, a truce called after the brutal killings a few years prior, but Davidson wants Dymphna and seems will stop at nothing to make her his. Both girls are in a panic as they sirens near, and both girls decide to run. Kelpie can see and hear Jimmy's spirit, pining away for Dymphna even in death. She knows her time may be coming to an end, as she's fears her plans with Jimmy to take over Razorhurst may have been what lead to his demise. But Dymphna holds a secret, not only can she see ghosts, but can hear Jimmy's warnings.
When the girls hide in the home of aspiring writer Neal Darcy, much to the annoyance of Jimmy's ghost. If Dymphna tries to flee, Glory's men will find her, her only option is to confront her before Davidson finds her first. Both their lives are about to become a dangerous game of cat and mouse through the streets of what is now known as Sorrow Hills. Will either make it out alive?
Razorhurst was sassy, sultry and a brilliant take on gangland warfare with a paranormal twist. Keplie, named after the likeness to being a wild pup, is a phenomenal young lady, her life has been little more than tragedy and destitution but yet she's tough, feisty and isn't afraid to go down swinging. She and Snowie were raised by a woman known as Old Ma, who would tell Kelpie the story of how her parents died before being able to name her. It wasn't long before Old Ma had passed as well, and Kelpie relied on her ghosts to keep her safe, leading her to food and away from trouble. But for the past few years Kelpie has been on her own. Her clothing is threadbare and disintegrating, her hair wild and knotted and not only can't she remember the last time she ate, she has no idea how old she is. Kelpie broke my heart, her short life thus far was incredibly sad and finding Jimmy's dead body only added to more trouble the young girl doesn't need.
Kelly's Thoughts
Dymphna is a prostitute. Not only does she know that Kelpie can see and speak to the dead, but she holds the same gift. She knows to survive the streets of Surry Hills, she needs the protection of her man, but a succession of murdered boyfriends has now left Glory's 'best girl' alone and vulnerable. The two girls were essentially from two very different worlds, but brought together through circumstance and now share a bond.
I loved the glimpse of Sydney during the Razor Gangs era, where it's said that the surge in organised crime was caused by the prohibition of sale of cocaine by chemists, street prostitution and the local watering holes closing at 6:00pm each night. It paved the way for the Davidson and Glory's of the era to run racketeering and underground crime syndicates. The paranormal aspects of Razorhurst only seemed to serve the purpose of Dymphna and Kelpie meeting, and sharing Kelpie's memories of how she survived the streets. I would have enjoyed it more so without it, it took what could have been a very realistic scenario of that era and added a element that felt incredibly out of place.
Regardless of the gift both girls shared that let the storyline down, I really enjoyed it. It was slow to start, but the sorrowful story of Kelpie drew me in, and the seedy underworld of the Razor Gangs kept me enthralled. If you're a fan of mobsters, hired goons or the tough street life and hard living of the twenties and thirties, you'll love this one.

The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest and most strategic campaign of the Second World War. For Canada, it was our single greatest contribution toward victory.
Battle of the Atlantic Place tells the story of the sacrifice of the thousands of Canadians who gave their lives in service. It also explores the impact our participation had in defining the modern, industrialized Canada we know today.
A new, innovative, experiential centre is about to rise on Halifax's waterfront to commemorate the achievements surrounding the Battle, both at sea and on the homefront. Designed by Stantec and BRC Imagination Arts, Battle of the Atlantic Place uses architecture and story-telling to create an immersive and interactive visitor experience.
Every element of the building, from how you enter the space, to the shape of rooms, sequence of encounters, to the selection of materials conveys the depth, breadth and impact this campaign had on all Canadians. At the core of the museum, guarded by a PBY Canso aircraft, HMCS Sackville - Canada's last surviving Corvette – stands as an icon of Canada's naval and industrial history.

Implicit Differentiation
on this page: ► What is Implicit Differentiation? ► How To Do Implicit Differentiation ► Examples ► Notation
Implicit differentiation is a technique to calculate the derivative when it is not possible to solve an equation explicitly for y. The technique is just a way to apply the chain rule. So, if you know the chain rule, you will pick up this technique right away. On this page, we give you techniques to solve implicit differentiation problems, starting with some basic examples and building in difficulty as the discussion progresses.
What is Implicit Differentiation?
Implicit differentiation is a technique to calculate the derivative when there is no way to solve the equation for y. For example, up until now, you probably were given or were able to write an equation like
\( y = \sin(2x) + x^4 + e^{x} \)
Notice that all the variables on the right side of the equal sign are x's and the variable y is alone on the left and has a power of 1. In essence, the equation is solved for a single y. Then, when you take the derivative, you really only need to work with the right side and the answer just falls out as \( dy/dx \).
Sometimes it is just not possible to isolate an individual y. For example, in the equation
\( y + e^{y} = \sin(2x) + x^4 + e^{x} \)
there is no way to solve for y because of the \(e^{y}\) term. In cases like this we use implicit differentiation to calculate \( dy/dx \).
Before we look at exactly how to do implicit differentation, let's look at a few points that will give you an overview of what to look for.
1. We assume that the equation we are given has one independent variable, usually x or t, and the dependent variable, usually y, i.e. y is a function of x or t.
2. The derivative we are asked to determine is \( dy/dx \) or \( dy/dt \).
3. Since the derivative does not automatically fall out at the end, we usually have extra steps where we need to solve for it.
4. The chain rule is used extensively and is a required technique.
5. Implicit differentiation expands your idea of derivatives by requiring you to take the derivative of both sides of an equation, not just one side.
How To Do Implicit Differentiation
Okay, lets watch a couple of video clips that will explain this concept. This first video is very good. He starts off with a review of the chain rule and then shows how to use the chain rule to perform implicit differentiation.
MIP4U - Introduction to Basic Implicit Differentiation [6min-47secs]
That first video should be enough to get you started. But if you need more information, here is a video clip that might help.
PatrickJMT - Implicit Differentiation - Basic Idea and Examples [2min-52secs]
All of this explanation may be a bit theoretical at this point and you may be asking yourself how to use these ideas. So let's do an example before we go on. We start with an example that you already know how to do and build from there.
Find \(dy/dx\) of \(y=x^2+5\)
Okay, before we do another example, let's look at some specific terms you will see. Go through these examples carefully and make sure you understand all the steps here before going on. Most instructors will not go through these details and expect you to pick them up on your own, which, although possible, is not easy. So we are trying to give you a head start by showing these details.
Examples of Individual Terms
Here are some terms that you may see when you are using implicit differentiation. The techniques used here are not new but these examples show you how to handle the extra y-term.
Take the derivative of \(y^2\) with respect to \(x\).
Use the result from the previous example, to find the derivative of \(e^{y^2}\) with respect to \(x\).
Okay, so now you are ready to see how we use this technique to determine \(dy/dx\).
Find \( dy/dx \) of \( y^2 - x = 7 \).
Another term you will run across when doing implicit differentiation is \(xy\).
Take the derivative of \(xy\) with respect to \(x\).
Use the result from the previous example to find the derivative of \(\sin(xy)\) with respect to \(x\).
Note - - After going through these examples, if you want more complicated examples with lots of explanation, going through the solutions to practice problems will help you.
A Note About Notation
One last comment . . . some books and instructors use \( y' \) instead of \( dy/dx \) or \( dy/dt \). However, I have found that it is easy to lose the 'prime' mark on \( y' \) in subsequent algebra. I highly recommend that you use \( dy/dx \) instead of \( y' \) as you are learning this technique. The time to use shorthand notation is after you are comfortable with the technique. Of course, you need to follow what your instructor requires.

Successful Crash Landing Points to Improved Safety
Saturday, January 17, 2009; Page A01
The heroic actions of the pilots of a US Airways jet that ditched in the Hudson River in New York on Thursday highlighted what safety experts say is a broader trend in aviation: The system has never been so safe, and accidents have never been so survivable.
Crediting advances in technology, airplane design, and the training of pilots and flight attendants, experts say people are far more likely to avoid accidents or survive them than at any time in the jet age. Fatal accident rates have plummeted in the past decade, and in the past two years, not a single passenger on a U.S. commercial flight died in an accident, an unprecedented stretch. In 1995 and 1996, in contrast, nearly 500 passengers died in plane crashes.
"It's getting to the point now where we can't even pull up usable statistics because you are dividing into zero," said Bill Voss, president of the Flight Safety Foundation, a nonprofit group that promotes aviation safety.
All 155 passengers and crew members survived Thursday's crash of US Airways Flight 1549 after the crew glided the Charlotte-bound Airbus A320 to safety in the icy waters of the Hudson and expertly evacuated passengers to a flotilla of rescue boats. Yesterday, investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) began looking into why both engines of the plane failed, apparently after an encounter with a flock of birds within minutes of takeoff from La Guardia Airport.
Harsh conditions in the river yesterday impeded the search for the plane's critical data and voice recorders, known as the black boxes, and for the missing engines.
Kitty Higgins, the NTSB member in charge of the on-scene investigation, said both engines are believed to have detached as the plane was pulled along by the river's strong currents. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey are keeping a section of the river closed until the engine is found.
Divers working with the NTSB attempted to reach the cockpit recorders in the tail end of the plane but were unsuccessful. Their work was made more difficult because the aircraft is almost completely submerged except for a wing and part of the tail.
An NTSB official said the river's frigid temperature, heavy currents and low visibility made it "treacherous" for divers. Workers this morning were expected to attempt to pull the entire aircraft frame from the water, then carry it by barge to another location, where the investigation would continue.
"The hope is to be able to lift it out in one piece," Higgins said. "It may be possible. It will take a lot of good help and a lot of expertise."
The NTSB also hopes to begin discussions today with pilot Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III and co-pilot Jeffrey Skiles, who are credited with calmly handling the crash and narrowly avoiding the Bronx and Midtown Manhattan, both populous areas.
Sullenberger considered making an emergency landing at a small New Jersey airport but decided to land on the water, according to two sources familiar with the investigation. Ditching is so rare that pilots do not even practice it in sophisticated simulators.
But Sullenberger, an experienced pilot who also lectures on airline safety, apparently followed all of the theories and classroom training about how to do it correctly, said John Cox, a former US Airways pilot and former safety investigator of the Air Line Pilots Association. Sullenberger slowed the plane down, kept its nose up and allowed it to settle onto the water as gently as possible, Cox said.

HOUSTON (ICIS)--LyondellBasell's CEO said on Tuesday that he is anxious to hear more specifics about the recently announced plan of Enterprise Products to build the world's largest ethane export terminal, labelling the project's export scope "the equivalent of three world-scale crackers".
"That's a big vote of confidence … for Gulf coast ethane," Jim Gallogly said on conference call on LyondellBasell's Q1 2014 earnings.
Enterprise announced last week its plans to build the terminal on the Texas Gulf coast. It will have a loading rate of up to 240,000 bbl/day, the company said, with operations set to start in Q3 2016.
Ethane from the terminal would be shipped to other regions such as Europe or Asia for cracking into other chemicals.
Having crackers in areas such as Europe whose feedslates are not as cost-advantaged as the US, LyondellBasell has studied shipping ethane to its facilities there but decided against it because it could not make the economics work, Gallogly said.
Instead, the company found that cracking other lighter-than-naphtha feedstocks such as propane, butane and condensates in Europe, which could be sourced more closely to the crackers, worked better, the CEO said.
In Q1 2014, about 35% of the ethylene production in its Europe, Asia and international region was from those advantaged feedstocks, Gallogly said, helping the company grow its olefins earnings.
Hampering the economics of shipping ethane to Europe for cracking are the shipping costs as well as the location of current crackers, many of which are inland, the CEO said.
Because of that, Gallogly thinks Europe may not be the sole destination for ethane from the planned Enterprise terminal.
"Some of that has got to go to Asia," he said.
While Enterprise has said it has executed long-term contracts to support the project, it has not disclosed any information about where the exported ethane will be heading. Gallogly said it will be interesting to see what the full-scale plan is.
"There has got to be more to their story," Gallogly said.

Get certified - Transform your world of work today
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
South Africa
I started off my career in England as a developer working on the Y2K bug all those years ago.
In the mid 2000's I took a few years off to become a photographer in Austria. Whilst there I met my wife and moved back to her homeland of Cape Town, South Africa.
I first learned of Agile and Scrum in 2008 when we tried unsuccessfully to introduce it to the development team I was working in as a Systems Analyst. We knew the current waterfall methods were not working, but we also couldn't quite work out how Scrum was supposed to work either. Eventually we managed to make a mish mash 'Wagile' or 'Scrumfall' approach which was better than what we had, but still didnt quite work.
Later on I joined Unboxed Consulting who are Agile specialists in all they do. Agile runs through the whole philosphy of the company, and its here that I learned how to properly implement Scrum. I have been working with agile methodologies since 2010 and I believe seeing the worst of waterfall implementations before that has helped me to appreciate what agile is all about.
I then joined Intervate as the next step in my career as a Scrum Master to help them move from a waterfall based approach to an agile approach. In this role I am not only Scrum Master, but a Product Owner and then became an Agile Coach as I progressed.
I also volunteer as a committee member for the Scrum User Group of South Africa. We organise monthly meetups for guest speakers and monthly lean coffee's held in 2 locations in Cape Town. We also organise a Coaching Retreat and a Regional Scrum Gathering annually.

Intervate, Agile CoachNovember 2012 - November 2016, Cape Town, Western Cape, ZAI was brought in to Intervate to work as a ScrumMaster on a project and Product Owner on another project. Intervate are a company that recently made the switch from a waterfall environment to a Scrum environment and the process currently is very much ScrumBut. I took on the job with the understanding I would be the internal Scrum Coach and help them to achieve Scrum proper and get rid of their Waterfall legacy processes that jam up the agile ideal.

New Delhi, April 14: Batting legend VVS Laxman has hailed Virat Kohli's consistency and adaptability with the bat as 'magical'. He also termed Kohli's adaptability to any situation "phenomenal".
IPL Special Site; Points Table; Schedule; Photos
Kohli, skipper of Indian Premier League (IPL) side Royal Challengers Bangalore, struck a quickfire 75 alongside AB De Villiers' 82 which steered his team to a 45-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday (April 13).
"It was magic. It is amazing to see the way Virat continues to score so consistently for whichever team he plays and whatever position he bats at. It is great to see the kind of level he has taken his T20 batting to; he is one of the most exciting batsmen in world cricket. His consistency and adaptability is phenomenal," Laxman, mentor of Hyderabad, was quoted as saying by iplt20.com on Wednesday.
(AB de Villiers is 'the best batsman of this generation', says Virat Kohli)
The 41-year-old praised RCB's strong batting line-up comprising Chris Gayle, Kohli, De Villiers, Shane Watson followed by promising youngsters Sarfaraz Khan, Kedav Jadav, Stuart Binny.
"From RCB's point of view it was good to see AB de Villiers perform like that. He didn't have a great World Twenty20 and he must be disappointed that South Africa, despite being one of the strongest teams in the tournament, didn't qualify for the knockout stage," he said.
"I am sure he wants to make it count in this IPL and this was a great start for him. That is one power-packed batting order that RCB have with Gayle, Virat and AB in top-three and Watson coming in as well. Now they also have Stuart Binny, Sarfaraz and Kedar Jadhav, which make their line-up very formidable," he said.
"I am also very impressed with him (Sarfaraz). He is a young boy but the kind of confidence he shows and his body language is really good to see. It bodes very well for Indian cricket to see such youngsters do well against international bowlers at this level. Some of the shots that he played were mind-boggling," the former right-handed batsman said.

Warren, MI (PressExposure) March 05, 2011 -- The Warren dumpster company, All Waste, has been pro-active in the Green Movement knowing that natural and man-made resources become rarer and more expensive. All Waste encourages its forward-thinking customers and communities to find for ways to balance growth and environmental responsibility.
Most types of paper can be recycled. Newspapers have been recycled profitably for decades, and recycling of other paper is growing. Virgin paper pulp prices have soared in recent years prompting construction of more plants capable of using waste paper. The key to recycling is collecting large quantities of clean, well-sorted, uncontaminated and dry paper. All Waste's Warren dumpster division has delivered hundreds of dumpster containers solely for the collections of newsprint and other paper products.
It is important to know what you are buying in a paper product, for that reason virtually all paper products should be marked with the percentage and type of recycled content.
The Warren dumpster company wants you to know that just saying "recycled paper" is not enough. "Recycled paper" could mean anything from 100% true recycled paper to 1% re-manufactured ends of large paper rolls. "Post-consumer" means the paper that you and I return to recycling centers. From a recycling point of view, the more "post-consumer" paper the better. Soybean-based inks are gaining favor as a renewable alternative to harsh and toxic petrochemical inks.
The Warren dumpster rental will also protect your legal back. For instance, it is a violation of most state and local laws to leave construction materials lying around on the job site. Such practices pose a safety risk to everyone. It is your duty to quickly and efficiently remove all dangerous material and scrap from your site. You have to keep up on the debris removal efforts on your site. You will face severe financial penalties and possible criminal charges for safety violations. If you violate safety regulations and an injury occurs on your site, you are responsible for damages and may face fines and an increase in insurance premiums.
For more information, or to contact All Waste use: Call 586-441-4102 for your quote from Warren Dumpster or with email use: firstname.lastname@example.com

The Relation of Face, Mind and Love Trailer (2009)
04 November 2009 Comedy, Romance 107 mins
Kang Tae-poong is a handsome and successful architect who constantly emphasizes the importance of substance over style in architecture, but has yet to apply this philosophy when it comes to love. Until one day, after a minor car accident, he suddenly suffers from a "temporary visual impairment" that makes beauties appear ugly and vice versa. When an inebriated and hot-tempered Wang So-jung passes out in front of Tae-poong's office building, he sees her as the beautiful resurrection of his dead fiancee and falls head over heels. Ugly duckling So-jung is completely baffled when Tae-poong keeps calling her his "goddess," but she soon makes him fall in love with her for her true charms, like how she is humble and unafraid to be goofy. Tae-poong's eye problem is fixed, however, by the time So-jung returns from a business trip a few days later, and when they meet again, he fails to recognize her.

As far as we can tell, Millerville has not been included in past Census counts, so there is no population information for this community.
While we don't have census information for Millerville, you might be interested in some nearby communities where we do:
Millerville is located in Clay County.
For more information, please visit our Census Page for Clay County.
To help identify the number of people who live in Millerville and the surrounding area, we have drawn concentric rings centered on Millerville. We counted the number of communities within each ring and summed their populations.<3> We don't have the population of Millerville, so its people haven't been included.
The Federal government has assigned various identifying codes to each community, county and state. At one time or another, the US Census Bureau has referenced one (or more) of the following identifiers when referring to either Clay County or the community of Millerville:
The current system of identification is called the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). The following GNIS codes relate to Millerville:
GNIS ID for Millerville: 160110
GNIS ID for Clay County: 161539
GNIS ID for Alabama: 1779775
An earlier (and largely obsolete) identification method was called the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS):
State Code: 01 (Alabama)
County Code: 027 (Clay County)
Place Code: 48784 (Millerville)
State & County Code: 01/027 (Alabama / Clay County)
State & Place Code: 01/48784 (Alabama / Millerville)
Millerville is located in Census Region #3 (the South Region) and Division #6 (the East South-Central Division).
While some people have used a ZIP code to identify a community, the purpose of the ZIP code was to make mail delivery more efficient by grouping addresses together. Although the ZIP Code doesn't specifically identify a community like Millerville, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) Millerville. It's important to remember that the boundaries of a ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.
The ZIP code for Millerville: 36267<4>
The US Census Bureau created statistical entities that they call ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and these ZCTAs are frequently confused with the ZIP codes that come from the US Postal Service (USPS).
ZCTAs were first created for the 2000 Census and at that time, they were based upon the USPS ZIP codes. While largely covering the same areas, the boundaries of a ZCTA do not necessarily match the boundaries of a postal ZIP code with the same number. For example, while a postal ZIP code can cross a county or state line, a Census ZCTA can not. They should be treated as separate entities with no correlation between them.

Re: Oops! Mine are from Beaufort Co., SC!
Linda Tuten 10/27/00
Linda, I'm just a beginner and I noticed that you mentioned an Absolum Greene Tuten.My GGG-Grandfather is an Absolum Green Tuten that was born abt. 1785 and was married to Charity Mixon (or Mixson).I don't have a death date for him.I'm wondering if this is the same Absolum Greene Tuten.All the information I have on my Tuten line is from what I've dug out of unorganized papers from parents and grandparents.I'm trying to piece everything together.I've hit a dead-end with Absolum Green Tuten.In some of the info I have it says that Absolum was the brother of Redding Cannon Tuten.It says that Absolum moved to Furman, Beaufort Co., SC in 1800 but it doesn't say from where. I'm wondering if my Absolum and Redding are two of the three Tuten brothers who came over on a ship from England and then scattered to NC, SC and GA. I really would love to know any information you may have regarding Absolum.
