geometry H 0 0 0 H 0 1 0 O 1 0 0 end cosmo radius 1.1 1.1 1.8 end
cosmo end set cosmo:map custom.par
where custom.par looks like this:
The downside to the first example is that it's a PITA to use -- you need to enter each vdw radius in the order you are listing the atoms in the geometry section. It means that for a 50 atom geometry you need to enter 50 values, even if all 50 atoms are the same element.H 1.1 O 1.8
The downside with the second example is that you need to first create the run folder, put cosmo.par there and first then can you submit.
An easier approach is to create the custom.par on the fly using task shell:
task shell "echo -e 'H 1.1 \n O 1.8' > mycosmopars.par" cosmo end set cosmo:map mycosmopars.par

Our ancestors in faith led the movement for abolition. They were a voice of reason at the dawn of Reconstruction, when America attempted to rebuild a nation buttressed by white power and privilege. They fought long and hard during the time of Jim Crow to gain new ground in the equality of all races. They fought to end red-lining districts that forced black families into ghettoes. And they walked arm in arm with our brothers and sisters of color during the Civil Rights movement. Let's not forget this rich history and let's continue to stand up and speak out for what is right.

One suspect was found with 7 pounds of marijuana in arrest.
Four months after being found with 63 pounds of marijuana, a defendant on pretrial release was found at a residence with 7 pounds of marijuana. The same night, detectives with the Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office found 1 pound of marijuana at a residence of another man on release.
Wednesday, assisted by officials with the Duplin County Sheriff�s Office, Jones County Sheriff�s Office and the state Alcohol Law Enforcement, LCSO detectives checked in at the residence of Anthony Spear, in the 2100 block of Possum Trot Lane in Deep Run.
Authorities received information that Spear, who was arrested in February for trafficking marijuana, was in possession of marijuana again. After meeting Spear at the door of the residence, deputies detected the smell of marijuana, and Spear consented to a search of the house.
Detectives seized 7 pounds of marijuana and charged Spear with possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a Schedule VI controlled substance and placed him in the Lenoir County Detention Center under a $100,000 bond.
Later that evening, authorities reported to the residence of Billy Franklin Thigpen in the 4300 block of Outlaws Bridge Road in Seven Springs. Thigpen had been confined to house arrest while awaiting trial on 36 felony drug counts.
Detectives executed a search warrant and seized 1 pound of marijuana and various drug paraphernalia. Thigpen was charged with possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a Schedule VI controlled substance and maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance. He was placed into the Lenoir County Detention Center under a $100,000 bond.
�These two defendants failed to realize that my narcotics investigators are highly motivated and are pooling resources to assist them to get the job done,� Sheriff Chris Hill said in a statement. �I hope the drug dealers in this county are getting the message that they may be next. I fully credit these arrests to all of the detectives, agents and outside agencies involved.
�Their efforts are making an impact in Lenoir County.�

We got the whitest geek we could find and threw him into Japan to see if he'd survive. Here are his pleas for a return ticket. To: Frooch From: Matt RE: Washing Machine/Air Conditioner Combo Saves Space, Chills Clothes I saw your post about the air conditioning/washing machine combo, and since I'm on my second washing machine in Japan, even though I'm not an expert about washers and dryers in Japan, I thought I would try to explain why it would be a good idea. That, and because I felt a violent urge to theorize about washing machines at midnight. The dryer situation in Japan is weird. Pretty much everyone hangs their clothes outside to dry. One of the apartments I was looking at had a coin dryer in the basement and my potential roommate was like, "That'll be great in the winter when it's too cold to hang your stuff outside." The real estate guy (a young one, in his 20s, so not like an old fogey) kind of flipped out and launched into an explanation that the best way to dry your clothes is by hanging them outside&#mdash;even during the winter because winters are dry—and using a dryer is a waste of energy and actually inconvenient (I don't know why it's inconvenient).
There are washers with dryers built in but they're pretty expensive. Most standard ones now have "twin air dry" or whatever that basically just spins your clothes for longer than American washers&dmash;it's "air dry" because there's a tiny vent on the top of the lid that supposedly pulls in and pushes out air.
Also the washer situation differs vastly from apartment to apartment—at my first one, the washer was outside on the balcony, next to the AC unit, so combining them actually would be pretty efficient and save on the electric bill. In my current apartment, it's inside, in a closet. Since there's no vent, it would make having a dryer suck ass in the summer since there'd be nowhere for the hot air to go. Besides, it would be redundant since my bathroom is designed to hang/dry clothes. Like, the whole thing is a plastic shell, and there's a vent above the tub that blows hot air over your clothes, which you hang from a pole you attach to the top of the tub. You set the timer for how long it does that, and then it switches back to vent mode, pulling all the hot air out. It's pretty sweet, at least better than my shitty first apartment.
I know the first thing you wanted to read today was a novella about Japanese washing machines, so I'm glad I could accommodate that wish.
P.S. I haven't personally seen a single laundromat in two months.
Matt's Japanese is pretty crappy, but he's there to try to make it less crappy. If there's something you want to know about Japan from an ignorant American POV, hopefully without getting too Lost in Translation, let us know.

Around 500,000 people a year may be wrongly told they cannot have NHS dental treatment, says a new report by the Office of Fair Trading. This could lead to them paying more for private treatment.
The report has featured heavily in today's newspapers, and provides a top-to-bottom examination of where dental services need to be reformed. The OFT found that most dental patients are largely satisfied with the services provided by their dentist, although there are several areas of concern. These include a lack of clear information about the dental treatments patients receive and the existence of regulations that prevent new dentists from starting new practices, thereby limiting patient choice. The report also looked at the private sector, and found that around one in five patients who started a payment plan to cover dental costs felt pressured into doing so.
Why have dentists been examined?
The Office of Fair Trading is a government department set up to protect consumers by ensuring that markets operate openly and fairly. As well as overseeing financial services, the OFT monitors certain health services, including dentistry.
In response to several issues the OFT launched a study into NHS and private dentistry in September 2011. These issues included:
- concerns about the accuracy of pricing and treatment information provided to patients, potentially causing them unnecessary costs
- the high number of dentistry complaints reported to Consumer Direct (a consumer feedback service operated by the OFT)
- concerns about patients not being able to access dental services directly (such as seeing a dental hygienist), and instead having to access services through their dentist first, incurring additional charges by doing so
What did the OFT find?
The report looked both at patients' everyday experiences when visiting the dentist and at the wider problems with the way the dental industry is structured.
To look at patient experience, the OFT did a market survey of 3,400 people in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and found that many patients were provided with insufficient information. In particular:
- 39% reported that NHS prices were not displayed
- 56% reported that private charges were not displayed in practices that provide some private dental work
- 82% of patients who received treatment which they had to pay for did not receive a written treatment plan
The OFT also estimated that approximately 500,000 patients a year may be told incorrectly that they are not entitled to NHS treatment and are liable to pay private charges for their treatment. It was also reported that 20% of patients who joined a dental payment plan to pay for private dental treatment felt that they were put under pressure by their dentist to do so.
The OFT found the procedure for raising complaints to be complex, and left many patients without adequate compensation. The OFT states in the report that, in their opinion, there is no reason to restrict patients' access to dental care professionals such as dental hygienists.
The OFT found that most NHS dentistry contracts have been granted on an indefinite basis. Consequently, only a few new contracts are available each year. The OFT identifies this as a barrier both to the establishment of new practices and to the expansion of successful ones.
What does the OFT recommend?
The OFT has made several recommendations, and says that:
- NHS commissioning bodies, the General Dental Council and the Care Quality Commission should enforce existing legislation to ensure that patients are provided with clear, accurate and timely information. In particular, there is a need for clear accurate information on prices and available dental treatments.
- Patients should be allowed to make appointments to see dental care professionals such as hygienists directly, without the need for a referral from a dentist.
- The NHS dental contract should be redesigned to allow new dental practices to be set up and existing practices to expand. This will increase competition and patient choice.
- The complaints procedure should be modified to make it simpler, easier and less time-consuming.
- A code of practice should be set up to cover the sale of dental payment plans.
How do NHS dental charges work?
Dentistry is one of the few NHS services you have to pay for, although your contributions towards a particular course of treatment are capped. These are capped at three different levels, depending on the NHS treatments that your dentist thinks are necessary for good oral health and its maintenance. The three different treatment levels are:
- band 1 treatments (£17.50) – this covers examination, diagnosis, advice about how to prevent future problems, a scale and polish if needed, application of fluoride varnish or fissure sealant
- band 2 treatments (£48.00) – this covers the treatments listed above plus fillings, root canal work and extraction (removal)
- band 3 treatments (£209.00) – this covers the treatments listed above plus crowns, dentures and bridges
Only one charge applies for each course of treatment, even if multiple appointments are required. For example, if you visit a dentist who thinks you need both a band 2 treatment (such as an extraction) and a band 3 treatment (such as a crown) you would only be charged for the highest band, meaning a total of £209 for the two treatments. Even if these treatments are given at two separate appointments they should still not exceed £209 if they are given as part of a single course of treatment.
However, free dental care is available if you are:
- aged under 18 years
- aged under 19 years and in full-time education
- pregnant or have had a baby in the previous 12 months
- staying in an NHS hospital
- an NHS hospital dental service outpatient
- on Income Support, income-related Employment and Support Allowance, income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, Pension Credit guarantee credit or you are entitled to an NHS tax credit exemption certification or an HC3 certificate
For more information see our information on free dental treatment.
How can I give feedback on my dental treatment?
You can use the NHS Choices site to leave feedback on the dental services you have received, both negative and positive. To do so simply use our dentist finder and enter relevant details to find your dentist. You can then give detailed feedback on how you rate your treatment, find other nearby dentists or read what other people have experienced.
How can I complain about my dental treatment?
If you want to raise a complaint, you should first contact the dental practice where the treatment was performed. If a complaint is not adequately resolved by the dental practice, complaints about NHS dental treatment are handled by:
- primary care trusts and the Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman, in England
- NHS boards and the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman, in Scotland
- local health boards and the Public Service Ombudsman for Wales, in Wales
- The Health and Social Care Board and Northern Ireland Ombudsman, in Northern Ireland
The Dental Complaints Service deals with complaints about private dental treatment across the UK.
The General Dental Council deals with fitness to practise cases (both NHS and private).
If a course of treatment comprised both NHS and private dental work a complaint is handled by the relevant ombudsman and the Dental Complaints Service.
NHS dental treatment is guaranteed against failure for 12 months. There is no equivalent guarantee for private dental treatment, although the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 covers dental work and means that work should be carried out with care and skill, and that dentures, fillings and crowns, for example, should be of an acceptable standard.

The first decade of the 21st century was one of rapid growth and change for data centers. For most of the decade, data center managers were forced to react to rapid, continuous changes dictated by the capacity and availability requirements of their organizations, and the density of the equipment being deployed to meet those requirements.
Now, data centers must enter a new stage of maturity marked by a more proactive approach to management to enable increased efficiency, better planning and higher levels of service. Achieving actionable visibility into data center operations requires the ability to collect, consolidate and analyze data across the data center, using advanced devices, sensors and management software.
The 10 steps outlined by Emerson Network Power, and highlighted in this slideshow, provide a systematic approach to building the foundation for data center infrastructure management by deploying and leveraging measurement, intelligent controls and centralized monitoring and management. Data centers employing these 10 prescribed point solutions for infrastructure performance monitoring stand to gain an operational, strategic and transformative advantage for their enterprise or business.

On The Daily Show, Prof. Matthew Richardson discusses Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from Guaranteed to Fail, co-authored with Profs Viral Acharya, Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh and Lawrence White.
Watch the full episode on TheDailyShow.com
Watch the full episode on TheDailyShow.com
The Senate's financial regulatory reform bill was passed by the Senate on Thursday evening. The devil will surely be in the details -- both with respect to how the reconciliation with the House of Representatives' similar bill (H.R. 4173) is worked out and then how the implementing regulations are developed by the Fed, the SEC, the FDIC, etc.
But there are 2 elephants in the room about whom there will be no details worked out: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Both bills are completely silent with respect to any reform of these two dominant entities in the residential mortgage secondary markets. How anyone on Capitol Hill can claim that these bills represent "fundamental reform", when these 2 mortgage giants -- who will probably represent the largest net cost from the federal government's "bailouts" of the financial sector -- remain unaddressed, remains a deep mystery.
by Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh and Lawrence J. White
The financial regulatory reform bill that was recently proposed by Senate Banking Committee Christopher Dodd has a huge hole: It says nothing - absolutely nothing! - about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These are the two investor-owned government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that currently are at the center of the residential mortgage markets in the United States. They are the two 900-pound (or $900-billion-in-assets) gorillas in the room that keep getting ignored.
by Matthew Richardson
Recently, the government sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, announced new losses, bringing the total tally to $126 billion. It barely registered as news. There is a chance, not a great chance, but a chance nonetheless, that the support thrown at the banks is not all money down the drain. But the chances are slim to none that either Fannie or Freddie will be able to pay back the funds. It is highly likely that taxpayers will lose well over $2000 billion and it may well pass $300 billion. When the history of the crisis is all written, these institutions will turn out to be the most costly of the financial sector, and this sector includes A.I.G., Citigroup and Bank of America/Merrill Lynch.
Why are the GSEs so costly? Why aren't people up in arms? In a recent op-ed in the NY Post, I offer some possibilities. See the following link:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama's pick for a top housing regulatory post looked poised to win confirmation after the Senate changed its rules on Thursday to make it harder to block nominees.
If confirmed to head the agency that regulates housing finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Democratic Representative Mel Watt could open the door for the taxpayer-controlled firms to provide greater mortgage relief, in line with White House economic goals.
The current head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Edward DeMarco, is a career civil servant who has knocked heads at times with the Obama administration on homeowner-relief programs as he has sought to conserve the companies' assets.
That focus has endeared DeMarco to Republicans, who successfully blocked Watt's nomination in a vote last month. The filibuster marked the first time since the Civil War that the Senate failed to confirm a sitting member of Congress.
The Republican action helped spur Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, to push through a change in the Senate filibuster rules on Thursday.
Previously, 60 votes were needed to clear procedural hurdles in the 100-seat Senate. Now, a simple majority suffices for all but Supreme Court nominees - a change that virtually guarantees Watt's confirmation given that Democrats control 55 votes.
Homeowner and consumer advocacy groups have lobbied hard for Watt's approval. They argue that DeMarco, who became the FHFA's acting director in 2009, has not implemented programs that could help borrowers who are having trouble making mortgage payments.
Analysts expect Watt to allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to forgive loan principal for Americans who owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth - a step the White House has advocated but one that DeMarco had refused to take.
"If Watt is confirmed, we would expect the FHFA to work towards some form of principal reduction and institute specific changes to Fannie and Freddie refinance efforts," said Isaac Boltansky, an analyst with Compass Point Research and Trading.
Watt would also become an influential voice in the debate over the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The companies, which own or guarantee about two-thirds of all U.S. mortgages, were seized by the government in 2008 during the financial crisis and propped up with about $187 billion in taxpayer funds. They have since returned to profitability.
Both Republicans and Democrats want to wind them down and take steps to ensure taxpayers are never on the hook again, but Democrats want to ensure some government support for housing remains.
With Watt at FHFA, the administration could avoid any awkward political fights when it comes to expanding credit to borrowers. Analysts expect Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would increase their refinance activity under his oversight.
Watt is a two-decade veteran of the U.S. House of Representatives and has the support of the Congressional Black Caucus, of which he is a member. He is also a member of the House Financial Services Committee, which oversees housing matters. While in Congress, Watt has pressed for increased access to credit for minority and low-income consumers.

Who is an entrepreneur?
In the mid 1980's, Harvard Business School professor Howard Stevenson defined Entrepreneurship as "the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled". Theoretically anybody who demonstrates the aforesaid behavior can be an Entrepreneur.
What it takes to be an entrepreneur?
Unfortunately for many, being an entrepreneur is an end state and it requires harsh trade-offs. Some leave stable jobs to chase that one Big idea. Others start by putting together a business plan backed by a detailed market research. Even some start by searching for the right angel investor. Often times, the very entrepreneurial spirit perishes in the complexities it entails.
Is it really that arduous to be an entrepreneur?
Not if we treat entrepreneurship as a journey, a collection of contiguous decision points and apply our entrepreneurial spirit at each of those.
John Burgstone in his book, 'Breakthrough Entrepreneurship" writes "Every time you want to make any important decision, there are two possible courses of action. You can look at the array of choices that present themselves, pick the best available option and try to make it fit. Or, you can do what the true entrepreneur does: Figure out the best conceivable option and then make it available."
So the right question would be "did I act like an entrepreneur" today? Yesterday? Everyday? If answer is consistently yes, you are an habitual entrepreneur.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A mathematical analysis has confirmed that H5N1 avian influenza spread from person to person in Indonesia in April, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday.
They said they had developed a tool to run quick tests on disease outbreaks to see if dangerous epidemics or pandemics may be developing.
Health officials around the world agree that a pandemic of influenza is overdue, and they are most worried by the H5N1 strain of avian influenza that has been spreading through flocks from Asia to Africa.
It rarely passes to humans, but since 2003 it has infected 322 people and killed 195 of them.
Most have been infected directly by birds. But a few clusters of cases have been seen and officials worry most about the possibility that the virus has acquired the ability to pass easily and directly from one person to another. That would spark a pandemic.
Ira Longini and colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle looked at two clusters — one in which eight family members died in Sumatra in 2006, and another in Turkey in which eight people were infected and four died.
Experts were almost certain the Sumatra case was human-to-human transmission, but were eager to see more proof.
"We find statistical evidence of human-to-human transmission in Sumatra, but not in Turkey," they wrote in a report published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
"This does not mean that no low-level human-to-human spread occurred in this outbreak, only that we lack statistical evidence of such spread."
In Sumatra, one of Indonesia's islands, a 37-year-old woman appears to have infected her 10-year-old nephew, who infected his father. DNA tests confirmed that the strain the father died of was very similar to the virus found in the boy's body.
"It went two generations and then just stopped, but it could have gotten out of control," Longini said in a statement.
"The world really may have dodged a bullet with that one, and the next time, we might not be so lucky," he added.
The researchers estimated the secondary-attack rate, which is the risk that one person will infect another, was 20 percent. This is similar to what is seen for regular, seasonal influenza A in the United States.
The researchers developed a software product called TranStat and said they would provide it free of charge on the National Institutes of Health's Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study, or MIDAS, Web site.
"We know the key to preventing a pandemic is early detection, containment and mitigation with antiviral therapy and this tool will enable those on the front lines, such as physicians, epidemiologists and other public-health officials, to carry that out efficiently," said Elizabeth Halloran, who worked on the study.

Since Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez were spotted/heavily photographed drunkenly goofing off and making out at a Knicks game, rumors have been haphazardly swirling around regarding the nature of their relationship.
Welp, Michelle Rodriguez confirmed that the two are official. Via the Telegraph:
"It's going really well. She's so cool," Avatar star Rodriguez told The Mirror of the fledgling romance. "When we started hanging out I just thought she was awesome, and we have the best time together. She's hard though. You wouldn't want to mess with her in a fight."
While Delevingne is keeping busy with London Fashion Week and her new line of Mulberry handbags/backpack, the two managed to attend a secret Prince show, which sounds both incredibly romantic and exactly like something a burgeoning celebrity couple would do. It's only a matter of time before they get their very own celebrity portmanteau and matching Kabbalah bracelets.

Looking forward to stayong in this hotel, arrived and it looked so nice, olde country style pub with rooms .
So wrong. Lovely 4 star modern hotel , great reception and bill rooms ,all modern. Toilet/bathroom dirty,apart from that, room was nice with doors open onto patio area overlooking river and catederal.Unfortunatley building work going on so noisy early and could really sit out, but should look nice when done. Then, in my eyes ,the place goes down hill. Yes ,there is a bar, with a real ale, in the restaurant.No atmosphere. The menu was pub like,but just didn't want to stay.,Modern ,light airy ,but not what was expecting for such an old building, so got in the car and went out for dinner. Another negative was breakfast. The continental was fine, but having to add £9.95 extra for a full English (although good) was too much. Staff, service ,room, overall experience was fine,.. I would recommend to people, but specific people who I know what they re looking for in a Hotel

How to Buy Essay in Five Simple Steps
Are you new to our essay writing service? Have you never used any writing services before? Then you must be wondering how it all works. Even if you've learned about the key points of our order procedure on the 'How we work' page or heard something from your fellow students, there are still several things that need to be clarified. Before you place your request on EssayCompany, you should be aware of every step which your order will undergo. We believe that our cooperation will be much more effective if you have a good understanding of what we do after we receive an order from a student.
All right, let's break down the whole process of order fulfillment in five steps and describe each step separately.
Step 1. Order placement. We make no secret that this step is the most important. The price, quality, and speed of our writing help largely depend on how a customer fills out their order form. To order essay online, you should press any 'Order now' button on our website. This will bring you to the order form. Our form is simple and convenient - you'll just have to click several checkboxes and fill out a couple of fields. We need to know your subject, type of work, language, formatting style, and paper length to process your order. Also, you must type your detailed paper instructions or attach your assignment brief. Tell us what you expect from your paper so that we could tailor it to your needs. Don't forget to specify your deadline (it can be as short as 3 hours, but it's always better to give a writer some extra time). Consider picking some additional services such as TOP Writer, VIP Support, High Priority, etc. Filling-in the form shouldn't take you longer than five minutes.
Step 2. Online payment. At the bottom of your order form, you will see the total price. If it is okay for you, submit your order and proceed with the payment. We never ask customers for their credit card information. Instead, we cooperate with recognized payment companies such as Visa, and MasterCard. Pay for your paper in any convenient way and get ready for the most interesting part.
Step 3. Writer search. Right after we receive the payment, our support specialist will contact you to specify your order details. They will make sure your paper instructions are correct and may ask you for some additional guidelines. They need precise information to find the best subject-relevant writer for your paper. When everything is clear, the support specialist will search through the database of professional essay writers and match you with an available expert who specializes in your area of research.
Step 4. Writing process. You will be able to track your order communicate with your writer via the convenient chat board and ask them anything about your project. However, you don't have to participate in the writing process. Just relax while the assigned writer will be working on your paper. After the paper is finished, it will be checked for plagiarism and grammar by our QA managers. If the piece is 100% unique and doesn't contain any mistakes, we will forward it to you.
Step 5. Paper delivery. Log in to your account or check your email on the scheduled delivery date to see your completed paper. It will be delivered on the due date or even earlier. In any case, you will get a notification via email or SMS. Just download the file and enjoy your fully researched, mistake-free, properly formatted paper!

Research Paper Writing for Those Who Care about Grades
As mentioned above, we can deal with all types of college assignments across more than 40 subjects. Every day, we get various tasks from students of different academic levels. But do you know what is the most popular type of essay help college students apply for?
It is with no doubts research paper writing. And it's not surprising because a research paper is one of the most challenging academic assignments. At first glance, it seems like an expanded form of a regular essay, however, it must contain proofs based on your original research. In other words, before writing a research paper, you have to conduct research on a particular topic and perform an analysis of the research findings. It is not just a review of the literature in the field of study. It is a paper that analyzes a perspective and argues a point. No matter, what your subject matter is, you must present your own findings backed up by others' ideas.
What image comes to your mind when you hear "a research paper"? Sitting in a library all day long? Working with stacks of books and journals? Hunting the treasure of others' ideas? Whatever image you create, it is surely not very pleasant.
That's right, creating a research paper can be really daunting, especially if you don't have enough time and necessary skills. Well, you can whip up a paper really quick, but it's not an option for those who care about their grades.
If you lack time, skills or desire to devote a great deal of time to your research paper, request professional writing help at our writing service. Follow the steps described above to place your order and get a research paper that exceeds expectations, both yours and your professor's. Here's what your paper will be like:
Thoroughly researched
This type of academic paper is called a 'research paper' for a reason. It has to be based on original, in-depth research. Our experienced academic writers have access to the best scholarly databases with thousands of scholarly journals, newspapers, articles, dissertations, reports, and other sources relevant to your subject. They will quickly review the literature in your field and collect data for your project.
Written by an expert
Our professional writer service cooperates with 4500+ writers from the UK, the USA, Australia, and Canada. Each of them is a real expert in a particular field of study with an advanced degree (Bachelor's, Master's or Ph.D.). Your research paper will be assigned to a writer who specializes in your subject and qualified at the level you ordered. You will have an opportunity to communicate with the assigned subject matter expert directly using our secure live chat. Feel free to ask them anything about your research paper.
Fully unique
We never allow plagiarism in our papers. At Essay Company, each paper is created from scratch based on instructions provided by a customer. All sources are cited correctly in a format you choose. After a writer is finished with your paper, it will be checked for uniqueness by our Quality Assurance department. Only a 100% unique paper will stand the test and become available for download.
Writing mistakes can kill even the most interesting paper. Therefore, we make sure that our papers are absolutely free of all types of errors. You will receive a clean piece without spelling, grammar or punctuation mistakes.
Properly formatted
Choose a formatted style required by your school when placing an order (APA, AML, OSCOLA, Chicago, Harvard or any other). Our professional writers are familiar with all of those styles and will cite your paper correctly. Unlike other essay writing services, we won't charge you anything for paper formatting, it is absolutely free.

Ok, so this wasn't the best advert for Australian tourism, but it is a question often asked by data applications. We understood spatial data in SQL Server 2008, and we love the map functionality in SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services. But if you have a pile of addresses, how can you convert that into data that you can map? And how do you make a map that lets you zoom in and out? In this talk, Rob Farley looks at how to handle shape files in Report Builder 3.0, the Bing Maps functionality for searching for addresses and displaying a map, and how this can tie into the spatial types we've been seeing for the last couple of years. It may also include a venture into the world of Live Labs Pivot, investigating new and interesting ways to display your data.

The Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors (Thesaurus) is a controlled vocabulary - a carefully selected list of education-related words and phrases assigned to ERIC records to organize them by subject and make them easier to retrieve through a search. Searching by Descriptors involves selecting relevant terms from this controlled vocabulary to locate information on your topic.
While you can also search ERIC using keywords of your choosing, you will get more precise search results if you use Thesaurus terms. That's because searching by keywords requires matching the exact words found in a record, while searching by Descriptors allows you to locate records indexed by subject, regardless of the terminology the author may have used. The ERIC Thesaurus will allow you to conduct systemic searches and save time by reducing guesswork and trial-and-error methods.

2) Can I use this RD pin if I solder a wire from it to an unused Arduino pin (such as #44 for example) ?
Ok I ask this because if they haven't connected it to a useable pin when designing that shield, that's probably for a good reason no?
To avoid unnecessarily tying up an Arduino I/O pin for a capability that is rarely used.
they could have used them anyway
Not a whole lot of thoughts went into designing those products.
Hello, I have Sainsmart's 3.2" TFT display and adapter shield for Arduino MegaI need to read data from GDDRAM, (to retrieve pixel color), in order to do that, I need to use the RD (Data Read) pin..which unfortunately isn't useable, look this picture:
Yes that's correct - the RD line must be wired high in serial mode (SPI) - you can't read except in one of the parallel modes. This isexplained in the datasheet in "Table 2 Pin Function Description".From what I can see of that adapter it uses the SPI bus - if so then you can't read the graphics memory.
