But I have realized that I really need to stop thinking it is all my fault.
Jay had responsibility here, not just me.
As the teacher supervisor / manager, she had a situation on her hands.
One of her teachers was very sick, and asked to go get rest.
Her response was to neglect the needs of her teacher.
She could had offered to teach my first one or two classes until I had rested and felt better. But no she didn't.
Anyways, the bottom line is I really can't go in there tomorrow and give this kind of fight.
They don't have to give me the release letter and documents.
If they don't that will make it difficult to confirm to immigration that I should start at the new school.
But if they ask me what I think or if I have anything to say, I will try to say something along the lines of that I thought Jay didn't handle the situation properly.
Anyways, usually I freak out about something and it turns out to be ok.
But thanks Gomushin Girl!! I think just having had Jay teach all my classes on Friday was karmic revenge enough!

I have a story of hogwon stupidity and being sick that might cheer you up slightly, because hopefully you'll realize that in many hogwons, "this" is SOP.ReplyDelete
One day I was really sick. REALLY REALLY SICK. The hogwon contract said that I had to call in two hours before the start of the day or I wouldn't get a paid sick day (one of my three yearly paid sick days).
Well, I called Evil CoTeacher That I Wasn't Even Supposed to Have, but she never answered the phone.
I went back to bed. The other foreign teacher (the one who was the "good" teacher who dropped f-bombs in front of the kids) knew I was sick because she'd come to my apartment the night before bearing medicine and a thermometer. I'd figured I'd called, I'd done my job.
A few hours later, my school started calling me. I didn't answer the phone. They called over and over until I finally dragged my half-dead body across the room to answer.
I said, as calmly as I could, "I called, [Evil CoTeacher] didn't answer the phone."
My boss screamed, "I don't believe you!"
So on and so forth. When she finally hung up, I got a digital camera and took a picture of the history on my handphone, PROVING that I had, indeed called.
I emailed it to her and demanded an apology.
The next day, the boss said, "Why would you send me that picture?"
"Because you said I didn't follow the contract, you called me a liar and said you didn't believe me."
She was so mad, "I did not say that!"
I shrugged, "Yes, you did. I'm not stupid, I know how to read a contract" (our big issue was THEM not following the contract) "and you MUST pay me for yesterday. If you have a problem, ask [Evil CoTeacher] why she didn't answer. And I want an apology."
I never got the apology, but I did get paid.
OOOOooo much worse than my situation. I hate it when they ask the "Why" you did this questions. Like it isn't obvious?ReplyDelete
Anyways I will have to go in and nod my head to their accusations, so to get outta there peacefully.
I think the reason those kinds of jerk bosses ask the accusing "why" questions is basically because they want to shame you and they want you to hang your head and act contrite, the way a Korean employee probably would.ReplyDelete
It's starting to fall out of style now, but I still hear stories from my adult students from time to time, where their bosses pull the whole department (or just the one employee) into the office on monday morning, berate them for two hours, threaten to fire them weekly, and then send them back to work with a "work hard"!
Keep your head down, and get out of there!
Thanks Roboseyo~ReplyDelete
I of course hope this is the last time I encounter such kind of management. But it could happen elsewhere. I think though all in all it gave me a lot of experience to go on as a I start my new job next week.

This past week, President Donald Trump announced his first overseas trip as the U.S. President. His visit to Saudia Arabia if of extreme importance, as it will help strengthen the ties between the two nations which were strained during the reign of President Obama.
With the goal of impressing President Trump and marking up the special occasion, Saudi Arabia rounded up a number of celebrities and important individuals to celebrate Trump's two-day visit. Some of them were the country singer Toby Keith, Fox News host Bret Baier, as well as Sudanese President Omar-al-Bashir.
The highly anticipated event "Together We Prevail" will be the first one of its kind in modern history, and it has the goal of renewing our mutual commitment to global security and business as well as cultural and political ties. The website provides further information explaining how they are working in partnership with Islamic and American allies to improve the lives of the people and strengthen their collective economies.
All this happening as we speak, but the left still chooses to mislead the people, telling everyone that Trump hates ALL MUSLIMS and has a discriminating agenda against them, but it is not about that at all. Trump's goal is to eliminate terrorism and keep the American people safe, something that is only achievable through establishing better diplomatic ties with foreign nations.

Launch reports that AC/DC have come clean about a knife-pulling incident during the group's 1977 tour opening for BLACK SABBATH in Europe. In the "Cash For Questions" fan feature in the new edition of the British music magazine Q, AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young confirmed that SABBATH bassist Geezer Butler did pull a knife on his opening act.Young's version of the story: "We were staying in the same hotel, and Geezer was in the bar, crying in his bear, '10 years I've been in this band, 10 years — wait till you guys have been around 10 years, you'll feel like us.' I said 'I don't think so.' I was giving him no sympathy. He'd had many too many [drinks] and he pulled out this silly flick knife." Young added that it was SABBATH frontman Ozzy Osbourne who diffused the situation. "As luck would have it, Ozzy walked in," Young said. "He goes, 'You fuckin' idiot, Butler — go to bed!' Ozzy saved the day, and we sat up all night with him." As previously reported, AC/DC's "Live At Donington" concert video, originally issued on VHS in 1992, will receive its long-awaited DVD release through Epic on November 11. A two-hour DVD chronicling an Aug. 17, 1991, show at the famed outdoor U.K. venue, "Live At Donington" will be packaged in a deluxe digi-pack with a 12-page color booklet. The DVD will be packed with extra features, including a director's cut by original filmmaker David Mallet, a remastered stereo audio track and 5.1 Surround mix, and the option to view several songs with a close-up view of guitarist Angus Young.

SPOILERS: If you haven't watched this week's Game of Thrones, then turn back now because, y'know — spoilers.
I think we can all agree that last night's episode of Game of Thrones was just about the most satisfying one we've had in quite some time. Even if we didn't get any storyline other than that of Daenerys and Team Dragon before the Battle of the Bastards, so much happened that made it worthwhile: Tyrion FINALLY told Dany that she was being a psycho! She laid waste to the Masters without sacrificing the civilians! Her and Yara had an epic meeting and came to an agreement! And Tyrion finally got to make Theon squirm for making fun of him being a dwarf.
But let's be real, we were all here for the Battle of the Bastards, and it delivered. Littlefinger and the cavalry arrived! Jon Snow, Tormund and Wun Wun (the giant) kicked ass and took names! Jon beat the hell out of Ramsay! And the episode ended with Sansa Stark taking another huge step along her path to becoming a legendary badass by feeding her estranged husband Ramsay to his own dogs. A+ moment of revenge.
It was definitely one of the greatest deaths in the history of the show, especially because both Jon and Sansa each had their turn. But just in case seeing Jon punching the crap out of Ramsay wasn't quite enough for you, YouTuber Ozzy Man Reviews created a hilarious extended cut of the Ramsay face-punching scene, now with 100 percent more bastard-on-bastard violence.
Last night really moved the needle forward on both the Meereen and Winterfell storylines, but it makes me wonder how on Earth the showrunners plan on addressing all the other plots left open with only one episode left in the season. Like Cersei's wildfire plan and where it leaves Jaime. What Margaery is planning, with or without Tommen and the High Sparrow. Where in hell Brienne and Podrick are. Where in Westeros Bran and Meera are, now that they've found Uncle Benjen. Whether or not Arya is now on her way back to Westeros after giving Jaquen the metaphorical middle finger in Episode 8. What the Hound plans to do now. And just what the Night's King is up to beyond the Wall.
Of those storylines, I suspect we won't learn what happens with Arya, Brienne and Podrick, and the Hound until next season, or the Night's King. But what do you think? With only one episode left to go, what plot lines do you want to see resolved?

text: I've been in the lawn business for 3 years now, part-time. I am a tree guy by training, but, I do really enjoy cutting grass. I only have about 10 customers right now, but, it does keep me quite busy between my full time job at a tree company, and my tree work for myself. One of my questions is, I'm thinking of geting a walk behind mower next year. I only have a L120 John Deere homeowners riding mower, a push mower etc. My question is what would be more valuable to me (keep in mind I have 2 young kids and just bought a house. ie. not alot of money.) My properties range from 1 acre down to small residential lots (used to cut them all with a push mower, yeah that wasn't fun). Two of my lawns have extreme hills and I have to cut them with the push mower. Can you cut these hills with a walk behind? I can't decide whether it would be more profitable to buy a faster, larger riding mower or to try and increase the effiency of the slowest part of my jobs. Thanks for your time, any suggestions are greatly aprreciated.

Transfer students experience another pathway towards admissions. In fact, nearly half of all current undergraduate students begin their education by attending a community college. By far, the most common transfer path is students moving from two-year community colleges to four-year institutions, although there is considerable movement between four-year colleges well. Many private schools actively seek out transfer applicants to fill their classes.
The quality of classes, combined with low-cost tuition, encourages many high school graduates to continue their education at a community college. In most states, community colleges have transfer agreements in place with dozens of public and private universities. In fact, among all students in the US who earned a bachelor's degree, almost 1/3 had supplemented their college education with classes from a community college. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Raritan Valley Community College prep classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Asian energy firms fired up by rally in oil prices
By AFP - May 16,2017 - Last updated at May 16,2017
A man has his lunch as people walk past near the Nasdaq building in Times Square in New York on Tuesday (AFP photo)
HONG KONG — Oil prices pressed on with fresh gains in Asian trade on Tuesday, boosting energy firms, after Russia and Saudi Arabia indicated they could extend an output cut into next year.
The world's top two crude-producing nations raised the idea at the weekend, with a deal agreed between OPEC — of which Saudi Arabia is the key player — and Russia coming to an end in six weeks.
The news sent oil prices soaring about 2 per cent on Monday, in turn dragging global energy firms with them.
Monday's gains come after the commodity was battered earlier this month on worries that the production cut was not enough to make a dent in a worldwide supply glut and increasing output from the US and other nations.
"The comments from Saudi Arabia and Russia are driving prices up but I'm sceptical that crude will see a new level," Hong Sung Ki, a commodities analyst at Samsung Futures, told Bloomberg News.
"As producers in the US are expected to increase output, prices will continue to be restricted from rising."
But Greg McKenna, chief market strategist at AxiTrader, pointed out the fact that traders were overlooking the need for a further cut in oil output suggested problems persisted.
"That such a large output cut extension is a tacit admission of failure is for another day and discussion," he said in a note.
On Tuesday the International Energy Agency said supply and demand in the oil market are close to matching up but warned rising US supply could mitigate the OPEC-led production cuts.
Hong Kong-listed PetroChina gained 0.4 per cent and CNOOC put on 0.3 per cent, while Woodside Petroleum in Sydney was up 0.2 per cent and Rio Tinto jumped 1.4 per cent.
Euro extends gains
On equity markets, Tokyo edged up 0.3 per cent by the close, Hong Kong slipped 0.1 per cent on profit-taking following a six-day rally, while Shanghai finished up 0.7 per cent, marking a fourth straight day of gains.
Seoul and Sydney each added 0.2 per cent.
But Singapore, Taipei and Wellington were all lower.
In New York the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each ended at record highs, as did London and Frankfurt, with German traders cheering a strong win for Chancellor Angela Merkel's party in a regional vote.
In early European trade on Tuesday, London opened slightly higher but Frankfurt lost 0.2 per cent while Paris was 0.5 per cent lower.
On currency markets, the euro extended gains to break above $1.10 after the German election result while the dollar's weakness has also been caused by a series of below-par results out of the US, including on inflation.
"The euro is strengthening as political concerns in Europe ease while the dollar is being sold" after the weak economic data, Marito Ueda, a senior dealer at FX Prime, told AFP.
The greenback was also down against most other higher-yielding currencies, with the South Korean won 0.7 per cent higher, the Thai baht up 0.2 per cent and the Malaysian ringgit 0.5 per cent stronger.

Statistiques de Vent de Santa Maria - Anjos, moyennes sur Mai depuis 2006
The figure shows how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal May. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue suggests the strength, with dark blue strongest. It is based on 2200 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Santa Maria - Anjos, located 14 km away (9 miles). There are too few recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3.
According to the model, the prevailing wind at Santa Maria - Anjos blows from the NW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Santa Maria - Anjos. By contrast, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. During a typical May, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 5% of the time (2 days each May) and blows offshore 15% of the time (5 days in an average May). Over an average May wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Santa Maria - Anjos
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

Stayed two nights to attend an event at nearby University of Missouri. We found the hotel to be in very good condition, and seemingly fairly new. The desk staff was very friendly and the lady on duty our second night was even nice enough to let me borrow her cell phone charger....thank you again! The room was very spacious with a pull out sofa, fridge/micro, and comfortable bedding. Breakfast was good in the AM and the attendant was friendly. Mizzou is only 5 minutes or so away. There are interior hallways and one elevator. Plenty of parking. Restaurants are a very quick (2 minute) drive, but not walkable.
Negatives were outweighed by positives, but we did note two: 1) our room had some interstate noise as the building is very close to the exit/overpass...I would recommend the front side for light sleepers; 2) there is a nice indoor pool, but no hot tub. I typically only use the hot tub, so that was missed. But, these are relatively minor negatives.
Overall, I would recommend highly for the convenient location, new condition, and excellent staff.

I can't find soft copies of my previous years' class picture. So I just decided to share this half of our class (batch 2013) of Matias H. Aznar Memorial College of Medicine, Southwestern University, Cebu City (MHAM-CM) picture of mine which was taken during our post Christmas, Pajama, Party on January 5, 2011.
Anyway, MHAM-CM ain't my first school in medicine. I was actually a transferee here. I had my first year in medical school in Silliman University Medical School. But because of
emotional personal reasons, I opt to transfer last year in MHAM-CM. Good enough, all my subjects when I was in first year were all credited since the two schools are having the same curriculum system. I was accepted in MHAM-CM last year as a regular second year student.
Hopefully, I am tightly crossing my fingers, without any academic circumstances, and if God willing, I will march wearing the MD's cap this coming 2013, so soon!

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
16:49 16 July 2012
North Korean military chief Ri Yong-ho has been removed from all official posts with immediate effect, the nation's state media has confirmed.
Ri was the head of the armed forces, vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission and also in charge of numerous posts in the ruling Workers' Party.
A brief statement claimed he was relieved of duty "because of illness". Non successor has yet been announced.
Numerous reports have suggested that a power play is going on behind the scenes and Ri's ideas clashed with the state's. Ri's growing power could've been seen as a rival to Kim Jong-un.
In Seoul, Kim Hyung-suk a spokesman for the Unification Ministry was quoted in the BBC as telling reporters: "It's quite a rare case that the North promptly and publicly announced early this morning the outcome of a meeting yesterday, on 15 July. We will keep monitoring closely."
The New York Times's Choe Sang-hun further speculated that Ri got a favourable exit as far as he was concerned: "The inner workings of political power in North Korea are shrouded in mystery, with top officials often demoted, made to disappear, reinstated or killed in suspicious 'traffic accidents'.
"Ensuring such unpredictability in any general's career has been seen as a crucial method used by the Kim family dynasty to tame generals and party secretaries." ·
In April North Korea launched a rocket, an alleged long-range missile test, which - while failing - broke UN resolutions. International talks regarding North Korea's nuclear weapons program have been strained since 2009.

In the early 1800s, Jeremiah Hayter accompanied John Macarthur from England to work on his new property at "Cowpastures" as a carpenter. Jeremiah was also a sawyer prior to leaving for Australia. After spending time with the Macarthur family, he was allocated land at Werombi.
Around 1830, Jeremiah moved from Werombi to the Southern Highlands and established himself on a property outside Moss Vale near Callala Crossing. He died in 1857 and is buried in the Anglican Church cemetery in Moss Vale.
On his departure to Moss Vale, he left the land at Werombi to his daughter, Jess Hayter, who was one of 13 children. Jess subsequently left the land to her son John Hayter. John had two sons, Rex and Richard Denzil and left the land to them on his death. Richard married Lila Meryle and had 4 sons Neil, Kim, Anthony and Colin.
In 1985, Lila died, leaving the business to her sons Kim, Neil, Anthony and Colin. Shortly after, Anthony joined Kim at the Mill. In 1987, land was acquired in Narellan where Neil started to retail timber products. In 1989, the Narellan Paving Centre was bought and Colin joined Neil. In 2001, Neil's son Daniel commenced an apprenticeship in Cabinet Making and works in the Narellan yard. In 1994, as hardwood became more and more difficult to obtain, the mining industry started to decline and it was decided to make the switch to milling Softwood.
Radiata was sourced from Oberon and Canberra, and demand for the product soon outstripped the supply. Further improvements were made to the mill with a state-of-the-art Multisaw being installed in 1998. Production increased from around 75 cubic meters a week to 250 cubic meters of sawn product. The multi saw technology uses up to 5 blades allowing up to 5 different sizes to be cut in one pass with laser accuracy.
As the mill grew, Kims' sons, Glen and Jason, joined the company and learnt all facets of the sawmilling business. In 2002, another major improvement was made in the mill with the installation of another recovery multisaw. This machine replaced the original bench that had been built by Denzil in 1968. These improvements enabled a greater range of products to be produced.
As demand increased for dressed products, a multi-head planer was installed in 1999. Anthony's son Russell then joined the company as an apprentice studying Forest and Timber Machining. With the introduction of softwood, it became necessary to treat the timber to increase its longevity. An association was made with Koppers to treat and sell the timber.
In 2001, it became clear that, logistically, it was far better if the company could treat and supply. A treatment plant was leased at Braidwood however, once again, logistically it became clear that to satisfy a growing market effectively, a treatment plant at Werombi would save an immense amount of time and travel. This plant would also be able to treat other sawmillers' products.
During 2002, in conjunction with the Osmose® chemical company, now Koppers Performance Chemical, an investigation into the feasibility of building a plant at Werombi was conducted. In early 2003, plans were lodged with Wollondilly Shire Council to build the plant. The plant was designed to treat product by both Lifewood® CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate) and Micropro . The charge cylinder has a capacity of 28 cubic meters and the ability to process 7 charges per day enables the treatment of around 20,000 cubic meters per annum.
Being one of the most modern treatment plants to be built in Australia, the Hayter family has once again been at the forefront of pioneering.

Where: The Links Shell Cove
Time: 7.30 am Tee off
The Corporate Golf Day is a chance for the local Illawarra businesses to unite in a day of networking, team building and an outing away from the office. The day will be played in Ambrose format with an 8am Tee off, novelty events (including 'hole-in-one' prize Ford Kuga, courtesy of sponsor Volcan Ford Wollongong), a sit down Lunch, raffles and auctions.
Come and play golf with us
We have a few tickets left for this event, so be sure to secure your cart for the day by emailing email@example.com or call the Sponsorship Co-ordinator, Lauren, on 0429 806 637.
About the event
TAFE Illawarra's event management students and local business leaders have teed up to support The Thomas Kelly Youth Foundation with their sixth Annual Corporate Golf Day on 5 September 2014 at The Links Shell Cove.
The annual event, which is a collaborative initiative between TAFE Illawarra teaching staff, students and local industry, is designed to provide students with an opportunity to put theory into practice while also providing support to a local charitable organisation.
Operating under the name [event]ure, the group of Diploma of Event Management students from TAFE Illawarra's Wollongong Campus are responsible for managing the event as part of their studies, driving everything from the event planning, securing sponsorship and running a marketing campaign.
Sponsorship support
To date, the students have already successfully re-signed long term Platinum Partners, IMB Better Value Banking and the University of Wollongong's (UOW) Faculty of Business.
TAFE Illawarra Teacher of Event Management, Georgina Davies, said: "As Platinum Partners, IMB and UOW provide the students with an invaluable forum outside the classroom to learn from Illawarra's finest business leaders.
"This year, the students have also secured support from our Print Partner of six years, PRINTMEDIA, uniform sponsor, also of six years Aceit Clothing and their Hole in One Sponsor now of three years Volcon Ford Wollongong.
"Leaders from each organisation offer the students insights into the many aspects of business and events management in the lead up to the Golf Day, which always has a significant impact on the student's study and career aspirations."
A fantastic experience for students
TAFE Illawarra Diploma of Event Management student, Stephanie Masella, is responsible for the marketing and media aspects of the event.
"It's such a fantastic experience to be involved in and a great opportunity for us to learn what goes behind putting together a first-class event," said Stephanie.
"There are already nine teams committed to the event and we have some amazing auction items up for grabs, such as a helicopter flight over Sydney and an overnight stay in an Opera Room at the Marriott Hotel – and we haven't even gone to market yet.
"Having received so much support already is really motivating. We're endeavouring to provide an amazing experience by showcasing the skills and knowledge we've learnt during our studies.
"The whole learning experience and success of the event will be a credit to those mentoring us. With Industry leaders like Terry Widdicombe from IMB Better Value Bank dedicating their time to provide us with assistance on a weekly basis is fantastic and we couldn't be more grateful."
Giving back to the community
The net profits form the event will be donated to The Thomas Kelly Youth Foundation, to help raise awareness on the harsh tragedies of alcohol-fuelled violence and support the foundation in creating a healthier and safer community.
TAFE Illawarra student Belinda Tololeski said: "It's important to give back to the community and we feel the charity we have chosen hits close to home and is a great cause we all support."
The [event]ure team are calling on members of the local community to sign-up for the event and take part in a fun-filled day of recognition, support, education and awareness.
Event raffle
Can't make it to the day? The raffle tickets for the event are open to anyone i.e. you don't need to attend the event to win! The main raffle prize, courtesy of International Publishing Group (IPG), is a spectacular 45-minute return-flight helicopter experience to the Hunter Valley to dine at Molines Bistro. Check out the [event]ure Facebook page for further information on how to purchase raffle tickets.
Net proceeds from the raffle and the event will be donated to the Thomas Kelly Youth Foundation.

Stony Brook University, SUNY's largest residential campus, offers 26 residence halls
in which undergraduate students may choose to live. The residence halls are divided
into six areas called quads, conveniently located on different parts of the campus.
All residence halls offer a variety of living, recreational, and study spaces, with
many different housing options available to suit almost every students every need.
There are two types of residence halls to choose from:
Corridor Style
In corridor style buildings, a community of approximately 30 residents live in double or single bedrooms along a corridor, sharing a common bath and shower area, lounge area, and (if a cooking building) a kitchen. Many residents prefer to live in these buildings due to the social nature of the halls.
Corridor Style Quads:
Mendelsohn Quad
Roosevelt Quad
Suite Style
In suite style buildings, four or six residents of the same gender share two or three bedrooms, a private bathroom, and living or dining area. Many residents choose to live in a suite to have more privacy. There are two types of Suites: cooking, and non-cooking. The common rooms in cooking suits are furnished with dining tables, chairs, and cooking facilities; common rooms in non-cooking suits are furnished with couches and end tables.
As a general rule, incoming students are placed in residence halls based on their college of interest. Many returning students prefer to change their room assignments during room selection to gain more privacy, to move to more social halls, to move in with friends, to take advantage of housing policies, or to gain access to cooking facilities.
Suite Style Quads:
Kelly Quad
Roth Quad
Tabler Quad
Yang Hall (Roosevelt Quad)
Chávez Hall and Tubman Hall

Cooper Meshing error
Gambit gives the following error when I use cooper scheme for volume which has some face splits:
Error: "Splitting of existing mesh on source face is not implemented yet,
try using mesh split functionality on source face"
Has anyone experinced this? and why is it caused and what might be solution to avoid this.
Note: Source faces are correctly specified. Everything seems to be perfect for cooper mesh but this error is irritating...
post pictures

Thank You Max
Cooper scheme is used and the upper face is plane but the lower face is splitted into segments. The upper face is already meshed and is projected downwards to the faces of splitted volumes (which are not meshed as per the requirement of cooper).
Why is this error coming? when i split the upper face like the lower face then the error disapears but i dont want to split the upper face because then i have to split all the upper geomtery for meshing.
Assistance required. Thanks
The upper surface is "free", and the lower have less freedom since you enforce the mesh to follow some splits.
You cannot enforce cooper to project a "free" surface onto a "resticted" surface.
you understand what I mean?:rolleyes:
yes i understand but if u make 2 geomteries and split the one of them into 2 then if u apply cooper mesh (in the same manner) then it works. But in this case, it isn't. I mean even if the volumes are split into different volumes, still cooper scheme works in some cases but in this case it is not working. A little confusing...
delete the surface mesh on the upper surface (or the volume up to your volume from interest)
And remesh
Is it possible to split the upper face's mesh like the lower surface? I tried face and edge mesh splits but was unsuccessful. Also, can virtual edges, faces or volume play a role in this issue? I mean for meshing from upper face to lower face can u think of any possibility?
You have a problem with volume 93. (2 superposed surfaces)
Go and connect all surfaces.
Then try to mesh.
But I don't understand why you are trying to mesh all your domain with hexa, except impellers with coarse tetra.
I assume you will have less problem, if you merge all your volumes, and you apply Size Functions on your impellers.
Then mesh your volume with tetra-hexcore.
I am sorry I didn't get your point
Volume 93 2 superposed surfaces? are there any extra faces? how is it superposed?
Secondly, u mean I should merge all the volumes in the domain and apply size function at the specific impeller regions?
I was meshing it with hex cooper in order to get a good quality mesh.
Could u send me a rough sample of jou. file of my geometry? I'll be highly grateful to u..
What is the goal of your simulation?
The goal is to get the flow behavior inside the main cylindrical chamber. Droplet evaporation, collection of droplets at the outlet and temperature at the wall etc.
Inside the chamber a highly swirl flow occurs because of the impellers.

Then a "fine" mesh on impellers would ba appreciated, and you can even aplly a BL
In you case you have very coarse mesh around impeller

Some interesting fly not sure of the family yet. gave him a chill treatment to slow him down
Robber fly Might actually be a muscaidae, fly snacking on another fly.
This is a Sarcophaga, fleshfly, you've probably seen these everywhere. typically they lay their eggs in rotting meat iirc. I believe they can bite, this one was polite enough to just relax on my net and let me take some pictures. notably their defining features are the striated black and grey colors and the red eyes.
Cactus for photlos since he said that this threat lacks cacti.

Siliguri, July 8: The Tea Board has issued an open-or-per-ish diktat to owners of 14 closed gardens in the Dooars.
At a meeting in Calcutta yesterday, board officials made it clear that gardens which fail to reopen within a month will be acquired by the Centre before being handed over to prospective investors.
They could accept a package, which includes waivers and sharing of interest designed to ease their liabilities, or face legislative measures, Jairam Ramesh, the junior Union commerce and industries minister, told The Telegraph over the phone from Delhi.
The board officials have given the details of the scheme not only to the owners of closed tea estates but their bankers as well.
The minister said a notification declaring that in case the owners fail to reopen their estates within a month, the Centre would acquire them under Sections 16 (D) and (E) of the Tea Act will be issued in a day or two.
Section 16 (D) says the Centre can take over the management of a tea estate and give it to another entrepreneur after an inquiry into the reasons behind closure.
Under Section 16 (E), the Union government may do the same but without an inquiry, if the garden remains closed for three months or more.
Commerce and industries ministry sources said if the laws are invoked, talks would be held with the state government to ensure that the new owners face no problem in running the gardens.
The owners of the closed gardens admitted receiving an ultimatum. Now, we have to respond to the package. Weve been told that we must open our gardens within a month or face the consequences, said Rabin Paul, the owner of Redbank tea estate.
He was quick to point out the problems preventing the resumption of work. The workforce remains the same as it was when the crisis started in 2000. We cant retrench anybody but production has come down drastically. Its tough to strike a balance between income and expenditure.
Union leaders welcomed the move. It proves that the Centre is keen to open the estates, said Samir Roy, the general secretary of the Hind Mazdoor Sabha. We hope that all the gardens will reopen within a short time.

BANGKOK, Oct 1 (Reuters) The ATP Tour will not increase its quota of Asian players in events held on the continent despite threats by Asia's tennis body to pull out of the tour and start its own rebel circuit, a tour official said.
Brad Drewett, a senior ATP official, said the global men's circuit would not bow to a demand by the Asian Tennis Federation (ATF) that 25 per cent of the field in every event on the continent be comprised of Asian players.
''We have rules in place based on merit, and we have no plans to change them,'' Drewett told Reuters in an interview.
''We always give four wildcards. That system has served us very well for a long, long time. It's fair, it's an integrated system. It has some flexibility, but it will stay that way.'' The 2007 ATP top-flight calendar includes five events in Asia along with the season-ending Masters Cup in Shanghai, where only the eight best players in the world are eligible to enter.
The ATF issued a statement last month saying it was ''seriously considering breaking away'' from the ATP tour unless eight spots were given to Asian players in every Asian event, even though South Korean Lee Hyung-taik is the only man from the region in the top 100.
The ATF also demanded that the continent's ATP Challenger events -- feeder tournaments where players can accumulate points to raise their ranking -- be closed off to non-Asians.
DEVELOPING ABILITY Drewett, a former Davis Cup player for Australia, said the standard of the men's tour was too high for most Asian players, who should get the chance to improve at smaller events rather than be exposed to the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal early on.
''We can give countries more wild cards for big events but their players will just get beaten very easily,'' he said.
''That's not good in terms of developing players' ability.
''In all sports -- soccer, rugby, swimming, athletics, golf -- there is a system of tiers, and no one can just jump to the big competitions.'' Drewett said the ATP would work closer with national federations to increase the number of ATP Futures and Challenger events, although he did not say whether they will be regionalised.
''We are big supporters of developing the game in Asia,'' he said. ''But we need to make these events grow, which will give young players the opportunity to develop their games.'' Chaiyapak Siriwat, vice president of the ATF, accused the ATP of neglecting Asian tennis by restricting the number of local participants.
''All the people in Asia look at the Australian Open as their grand slam, but we get only one wildcard,'' Chaiyapak told Reuters.
''What are they doing for Asian tennis? What kind of development is this? ''We have the money, we have a big population. If we make a pact, we can do it on our own.'' REUTERS BJR ND1402

New York: Top seed Amelie Mauresmo survived a wobble to beat Italian Mara Santangelo 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 on Sunday and set up a US Open fourth-round match against her nemesis Serena Williams.
Second seed Justine Henin-Hardenne crushed Israeli Shahar Peer 6-1, 6-0 to reach the quarter finals on Monday. Russian fourth seed Elena Dementieva booked a spot in the last eight by defeating Frances Aravane Rezai 7-5, 6-4. Dementieva will next face 19th seed Serbian Jelena Jankovic who stunned former champion Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-7, 6-3, 6-2.
Serena, invited to the Open as a wild card, booked her date against Mauresmo by trouncing 16th seed Ana Ivanovic of Serbia 6-2, 6-4.
Mauresmo, the Australian Open and Wimbledon champion, has lost nine of 10 matches against seven-time Grand Slam winner Williams.
When shes playing well, she just does everything great, Mauresmo said after recovering from 0-2 down in the final set to defeat Santangelo.
Serena has scarcely played this season, skipping six months after the Australian Open due to her off-court interests and an ailing knee.
The two-time former Open champion, however, feels her game is getting into shape in her fourth tournament of the year and is close to playing her best tennis.
Im definitely feeling close to that, she told reporters. I think Im playing better with each match. I try to always do little things better and hopefully peak in the latter rounds.
Serena acknowledged that Mauresmo, who has climbed to the top of the world rankings, has been on good form.
Mauresmo has been playing the best of anyone on the tour this year, she said. So it will be a good chance to see how I play against her. I like playing her, should be a good match. I like the way she hits the ball. I just think we always have some really interesting matches. My game just likes her game.
Li Na beat last years runner-up Mary Pierce 4-6, 6-0, 6-0 to become the first Chinese woman to reach the last 16 of the US Open.
Li showed her resolve by coming back after losing the first set to 13th-seeded French veteran Mary Pierce, sweeping the last 12 games to seal victory. After committing 22 unforced errors in the opening set, Li made only three errors in a near-perfect second set to turn the match around.
Next up for the 24-year-old Li is third-seeded Russian Maria Sharapova, who has beaten Li three times without losing a set, twice this season and in the third round of the 2005 Australian Open.
Sharapova beat countrywoman and No. 32 seed Elena Likhovtseva 6-3, 6-2.
Lindsay Davenport saved two match points before beating Slovenian Katarina Srebotnik to join Mauresmo in the next round, while Nadia Petrova was sent packing 7-5, 6-7, 6-3 by Frances Tatiana Golovin.
Davenport played well below her best but still won 3-6, 6-3, 7-6. The American 10th seed won the decisive tie-breaker 7-5 after saving two match points in the 12th game of the third set.
Top-seeded Roger Federer had a quick trip into the fourth round. Playing a rare night match at Louis Armstrong Stadium, the two-time defending champion rolled into the round of 16 with a crushing 6-3, 6-3, 6-0 victory over unseeded Vince Spadea.
Federer can expect tougher battles ahead as he works his way toward a possible showdown final against second seed Rafael Nadal.
Federer will next meet 79th-ranked Marc Gicquel of France, who beat 21st-seed Gaston Gaudio of Argentina 6-0, 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-3).
Number two seed Nadal advanced with a 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-4) win over Wesley Moodie of South Africa.
Andre Agassis glittering career came to a tearful conclusion when he lost in four sets to German qualifier Benjamin Becker (as reported in Mondays Late City edition).
Becker, the world No. 112 who is playing just his second Grand Slam event, sent the 36-year-old Agassi into retirement with a 7-5, 6-7, 6-4, 7-5 victory at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

A "Gender Gap" In Campaign Donations
June 9, 1999
Two new studies explore the differences between men and women in political contributions. Men tend to consider their contributions as investments to further their own influence and business interests, while women are more cause and issue oriented.
One of the studies comes from Paul Herrnson of the University of Maryland and the other from the Center for Responsive Politics.
- In the 1998 election cycle, women gave 51 percent of their contributions to Democrats, whereas men contributed only 42 percent to Democrats.
- While women's dollars have grown as a proportion of the total flowing into campaigns, they still represent just one-fourth of all political giving.
- Women account for higher proportions of contributions in western states and lower proportions in the South.
- Female Democratic candidates collected on average nearly 43 percent of their campaign cash from female donors, while female Republican candidates raised 29 percent from females.
Women accounted for 26 percent of contributions to Democratic male candidates, and 24 percent to Republican men.
States with the highest proportion of contributions from men -- about $4 out of every $5 -- were Utah, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansas. States with the highest proportion of female contributors -- $3 out of every $10 -- were Washington, New Mexico, California, Nevada and Idaho.

Unanswered: forcing numbers in increments of .5
I have the need to record quantities that would never be more or less than a half. Normal data would be an integer value, but in some cases I may have to record a .5 value. Is there a way I can force mySql to accept only values evenly divided by .5? I'll do this checking in my application too, but I want to ensure the data in the table is always correct.

If some future version of MySQL supported CHECK CONSTRAINTS, then you could use one of them and store the data as you'd actually use it. Be wary, because MySQL will happily parse check constraints, but it does not currently enforce them.
For all present versions of MySQL, I think that r937's suggestion is as good as you can get.

Actually there's no reason why you can't write a trigger that does this test for you. Thus omitting the new record if it's bad (or logging it into an errors table).

On Monday afternoon, the Washington Nationals and Tyler Clippard agreed to a one-year deal worth $5.875 million to avoid arbitration. While that was more than the $5.4 million mid-point, Clippard will be well worth his salary in 2014.
While the rest of the bullpen struggled in 2013, Clippard did not. He stayed strong and true all season long. Whenever former manager Davey Johnson needed to go to the 'pen, pulling out Clippard was usually a pretty safe move.
In 71 innings of work, the right-reliever posted a 2.41 ERA and even won six games. He also struck out 73 batters while walking just 24. He held opposing hitters to a staggering .135 batting average and was lights out whenever he took the mound.
Whenever players and teams go into contract negotiations, they are debating what a player should make based on past performances as well how they could possibly perform in the future. When you look at his history with the Nats, he boasts a solid resume. In four seasons in which he's pitched 60 innings or more, his worst ERA was 3.72 in 2012. However, Clippard also saved 32 games in 2012 so he's a dual-threat reliever, so to speak.
In 2011, Clippard put together the best season of his career. In 88.1 innings of work, he posted a 1.83 ERA with 104 strikeouts en route to his first and only All-Star Game appearance. Can we expect to see a similar season this year? Perhaps not. Clippard will be turning 29 this February, so I think it's unfair to expect another season like that.
However, an effort similar to 2013 is more than doable for the pitcher entering his eighth year in MLB. He rebounded well from his below-average 2012 season and pitched very strong in a weak bullpen. Clippard is the leading righty, but he's more than ready for that pressure. If Ryan Mattheus can stay healthy, he'll be able to take some of the workload off Clippard when Matt Williams wants a right-hander.
I mentioned earlier that Clippard is a dual-threat reliever. Let's say that Rafael Soriano's game takes a turn for the worse this season. Clippard has experience at closer and could certainly take over that role. He can either play a setup role or a closing role which is a definite luxury for Washington.
While you can say that the Nationals "lost" in this contract negotiation, I don't think either side really is the loser. The Nationals bring back one of the game's best relievers and he gets a payday that he's owed. This is a good deal for all involved, and now they are officially ready to head to Florida to begin Spring Training.

A San Jose firm will be the city's lead consultant in helping design a widened Montague Expressway in southern Milpitas in the next two years. Milpitas City Council voted unanimously on consent Aug. 19 to approve a $152,100 one-year contract with HMH Engineering Inc. toward design of the pending expressway widening, deemed a capital improvement project for the city that will provide four lanes in each direction.
Jeff Moneda, the city's Public Works Department director/city engineer, after the meeting said Santa Clara County Roads and Airports will widen Montague Expressway from Piper Drive to Watson Court. He added the expressway widening is a regional project that includes participation from the city, Santa Clara Valley Water District, county Roads and Airports, and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority that continues to build Bay Area Rapid Transit into Milpitas and the South Bay.
"The city's contribution is to fund the project design, which in total is approximately $1.2 million, and for the cost to install new city underground utilities within the project," Moneda said. "The cost for the new utilities has yet to be determined."
He added the project includes adding one westbound through lane, eastbound and westbound auxiliary lanes, road shoulders and sidewalks on Montague Expressway. Moneda said the total construction cost for all improvements including a new bridge over Berryessa Creek is $14.6 million.
City reports state there are two major regional projects — the BART extension and the water district's Berryessa Creek flood control improvements — that are programmed, which directly impact the portion of Montague Expressway from Great Mall Parkway to Interstate 680.
The Berryessa Creek improvements include raising the height of the existing levees and bridge by up to seven feet. This new Montague Expressway bridge will be required to be placed at the higher elevation to meet federal flood control requirements and to allow for 100-year storm flows in Berryessa Creek. To that end, the work along Montague and the new Berryessa Creek Bridge will require the widening and improvement of portions of South Milpitas Boulevard. The VTA will incorporate the construction of the widening and bridge improvements within its BART extension construction project.
Staff reports state City of Milpitas remains in a position to continue leading the coordination and design phase for this project, which is the city's project contribution in partnership with the other agencies.
Through the city's consultant selection process, HMH will provide the design services for this project, and the firm has completed a plan line study, the structural design for the widening work and bridge improvements. It is now desired to have the consultant provide design services for the extension of city potable and recycled water pipelines along portions of Montague Expressway.
"It is cost effective to continue to use HMH for the underground pipeline design for city utilities located within the widening project area," Moneda said. "The new pipelines will provide better service and supply to the areas along the southern border of the city."
In addition, HMH will assist in preparation of permit packages; provide additional work related to preparation of final plans and specifications in coordination with the BART project; provide post design services during project bidding; and to provide record drawing services at the conclusion of construction, city reports state.
According to Moneda, HMH will complete the design phase for the widening project by December.
"VTA will include construction of the widening of Montague as part of their BART improvements that cross Montague at Piper Drive," he said. "The goal is to have construction commence in 2015, and for completion of the widening improvements by late 2016."

New York's urban neighborhoods are full of young would-be emcees who aspire to "keep it real" and restaurants like Sylvia's famous soul food eatery that offer a taste of "authentic" black culture. In these and other venues, authenticity is considered the best way to distinguish the real from the phony, the genuine from the fake. But in Real Black, John L. Jackson Jr. proposes a new model for thinking about these issues—racial sincerity.
Jackson argues that authenticity caricatures identity as something imposed on people, imprisoning them within stereotypes—turning them into racial objects and inanimate things, instead of living, breathing human beings. Contending that such assumptions deny people agency—not to mention humanity—in their search for identity, Jackson counterposes sincerity, an internal and more productive analytical model for thinking about race.
Moving in and around Harlem and Brooklyn, Jackson offers a kaleidoscope of subjects and stories that directly and indirectly address how race is negotiated in today's world—including tales of name-changing hip-hop emcees, book-vending numerologists, urban conspiracy theorists, corrupt police officers, mixed-race neo-Nazis, and high-school gospel choirs forbidden to catch the Holy Ghost. Enlisting "Anthroman," his cape-crusading critical alter ego, Jackson records and retells these interconnected sagas in virtuosic detail and, in the process, shows us how race is defined and debated, imposed and confounded every single day.
