What is the sum total distance between every possible pair of point charges when there are n point charges on a spherical surface? All point charges can only and are located on the infinitesimal spherical surface.
Basically, we're going to have a bunch of points staying as far apart as possible on the surface of a sphere. Is there a general equation for this?
And whats the sum total distance between every pair of points? (Both the distances by travelling the shortest distance on the spherical surface and the shortest distance travelling through the interior volume of the sphere. I'm confident that the relationship between those two values require a relatively simple equation.
Is there a similar mathematical model/problem which can be used to solve this problem?

Trusses are the future.The only way to build homes is with roof trusses.
A portable roof truss equipment is a framed or jointed structure composed of straight members connected only at their intersections in such a way that if loads are applied at these intersections, the stress in each member is in the direction of it length. Straight, sound timber should be used in trusses. (The Howe, Fink, and King Post trusses are most commonly used.) portable roof truss equipment are used for large spans to give wide, unobstructed floor space for such large buildings as hangers and polebarns. Small buildings are trussed to save material. Small trusses act as rafters and give the roof rigidity.
Roof-truss solutions, residential and commercial, include: portable roof truss equipment that meet or exceed wind, weight-loading, and deflection criteria. A roof truss can make complex roofs easier to build, providing a complete system that includes girders, hip framing, vaulted or coffered ceilings, and moreall bearing on outside-wall or intersecting trusses. The system eliminates posts and beams and allows for clear-span floor plans / open concept. This all can save time money and used that somewhere else in your project.
Trussed roofs have a roof-line which is raised what we call a pitch, trussed loft conversions always require certain dimensions to make sure it can fit in your situation. The technological solution - trussed roofs - balances roof stresses of roof and ceilings and allows lower roof pitches. You can get alot more room out of your roof with attic trusses for all the loft area. See your local manufacturer for more information on attic trusses.
Wood roof trusses have been used in residential constructionfor over 26 years. In more remote locations they are built on-site and the joints covered what is called plywood gussets, and nailed according to engineers. This research reviewed and updated the design and nailing standards, particularly in regards rain and snow load. The updating provides useful information for all of who build trusses on-site.
Thanks for checking out my site and I appreciate any questions you may have.
Once again, modern materials and techniques have come to the rescue, so today we use attic trusses in trussed roof loft conversions to replace bulky timber webs and free up loft space.

There are currently four games in the Game Party series of mini-game collections. The combined Metacritic average for these four games is 31. So why the hell is Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment releasing Game Party Champions for the Wii U?
I'd say it has something to do with the Game Party series on the Wii selling close to three million copies.
That silly figure came about back in 2009, when publisher Midway was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. That's the kind of figure that makes a potential buyer sit up and notice. Never mind that every reviewer on the planet that came near one of these games died (possible exaggeration).
And that's where Wii shovelware comes from, boys and girls.
"Developed specifically for Wii U, Game Party Champions has a fun, pick up-and-play style that experienced and novice gamers will equally enjoy," said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "Players can tilt, turn and swipe the Wii U's revolutionary touch screen controller to play in entirely new ways."
Who will play this? Who in their right mind would buy it? The same misguided numbers that purchased the other ones. The sort of consumer that goes into the Best Buy and heads directly to the ambiguously-titled budget games no one was ever excited about section and loads up. With the Wii U's enhanced graphical capability brought to bear, I'd dare say some of the players that should know better might even get roped in.
There's no mention of a release date in the big official announcement, but I'm assuming this'll be clogging up the shelves around launch time. Can't take that long to develop this sort of crap.

So I have been harping on a particular mantra of tiny space organization and design, that being: maximize the vertical. If you are new here the basic jist is if you surrender a square foot of floor space for storage, maximize the use of that by taking the storage all the way to the top of the room.
One of the issues with this is of course if you have tall ceilings you can run into the issue of not being able to reach it. With this innovative concept you are able to remedy this issue, cut out any need for a ladder and bring multifunction into the space.
So check this out…..

Oh my goodness. I opened up my e-mail last week to this stunner of a guest post sitting quietly in my in-box. These stories, from people in the very process of figuring it all out, speak to me so deeply. I identified SO much with what Annie writes here (being in America, my safety net is that much closer and more tantalizing and convenient). It is also a testament as to how not theoretical this conversation is. When you are friends with poverty, certain questions must be asked (and not always answered). I am very thankful Annie found this series, and that she added her own contribution here.
Moving downward, in spite of the safety net
Guest post by Annie
I have a friend who decided to sleep on the floor for a few months, right next to his bed. It was an act of self-denial. But even as he spent his nights on the hard, unforgiving floor of his room, the bed was within arm's reach. He might never choose to sleep in it again, but it was still there.
This is perhaps the biggest struggle of it all for me.
This downward mobility stuff is hard. As much as I want to deny myself, it is nearly impossible to forget that there is a wide, comfortable safety net around me. There is always somewhere to fall back on. And I know that. Even in my subconscious, I know that. I try to turn off my peripheral vision and forget that it is there in order to reduce my dependence on it, but the reminders are constant.
On most days, my privilege ostentatiously dances in my face and frustrates my desire to really, truly live in solidarity with the people I am surrounded by. The voices that call this pursuit of downward mobility "ignorant idealism" ring louder and surer than my unsteady, but wishful, belief that this type of living is not only beautiful, but possible.
I see it everywhere.
A terrorist attack occurs in my city of residence and I am keenly aware that, if I wanted to, I could be on the next plane out with so many of the other young, single American girls serving here–so quickly and easily removed from a perceived threat to my own safety and wellbeing. Somehow my safety is more important than the ones I moved here to live in community with, with no questions asked.
I offer a cup of coffee to a friend while we are out running errands and can see it in her face that she is uncomfortable with anyone spending 250 shillings ($3) on something that will be gone in 10 gulps. Why would we pay $3 for something that we can make for 20 cents when we get home? That much money can feed a whole family–all day long. And more than just knowing that (like me), she knows it.
A young girl is stuck in an unsafe environment and the only good option seems so glaringly clear in my mind…move the child. And fast. But what my mind doesn't account for is all of the unplanned costs that will accompany this decision. How will the family possibly afford this swift action? They are in many ways trapped and I realize that I have never in my life felt trapped in this way. How can I know even an ounce of this pain my friend endures?
An unexpected illness strikes and a family is left with very few options — attempt to treat the child and acquire bills that exceed the amount that passes through their hands in 5 years, or take their child home and pray. I get a sinus infection and already have a prescription sitting there waiting in my cabinet. And if anything serious were to happen, you better believe my insurance would be airlifting me to Dubai or back to America for the world-class medical treatment I deserve.
I'm aware of my privilege when the weekly grocery bill is the same amount that my friend who supports an entire family makes each month. Bread and rice are not luxury items in my world; they are things I am allowed to groan about having to eat, again.
I'm aware when my spoon pushes even a small pile of bread crusts or stale crackers into the trashcan, now even further from mouths that are hungry. The guilt-inducing images in my mind aren't from those Christian Children Fund infomercials of the 90's, they are images of friends and neighbors who I care for deeply.
I'm aware when I frustratedly declare one of my things "broken!" and throw it in my closet or the trash can and my friends quickly scoop it out and ask for the chance to try to fix it themselves or at least take it somewhere to be saved.
I'm aware when paying $1 for a motorbike taxi is the obvious choice over walking for an hour in the hot sun, for free.
I lay in my bed that is surrounded by dozens of sleeping children, listening to the dogs' howling alarm that things are not right outside the orphanage compound tonight. My thoughts race in wondering if the thugs get into our home tonight will my laptop, DSLR, iphone, and ATM card be accepted in exchange for the children's protection? The undeniable reality is that I have something to offer.
Friends sit in jail cells for things that just don't seem right and my privileged friends and I are calling everyone we know, using our "connections" to fight for what we consider justice. He is out within days, while others sit and sit and sit because their families and friends have known since childhood that their fighting doesn't mean much.
I don't generally make a habit of praying before meals because it seems ritualistic and unnecessary. They pray before meals because they are genuinely thankful that God has remembered them and provided food, even when they personally know so many who are without.
I wait in the crowded line of the government hospital for the schizophrenia medications that keep my friend functioning well in society and others ask me "wow! You're 'mad' too?" I strangely want to say "Yes! See, we are just alike! I feel your pain! I'm with you!" but instead I bow my head and say "no, they're actually for a friend."
Maybe these examples are extreme, but they just begin to describe how I sometimes I feel like I am just playing dress-up. I put on a costume and play the part of friend to the poor, friend to the sick, and friend to the orphan, but remain so far above them (much to my dismay) that it seems a laughable feat to really live in solidarity with them. If I lived in America, I would most likely be dependent on government assistance. But here!? Here I am rich. I am healthy. I have family who call me their own and always have my back. I have people who would fight for me, if I needed it.
I cut back and I struggle, yes — but I have never been hungry. I have never truly felt trapped in a horrible, threatening situation because of an empty bank account. I have never had to choose between treating a sick child and putting food on the table. And most of all, I have about 10 people in my speed dial who would do anything to bail me out of whatever unfavorable situation I find myself in. I also like to believe that if I was in real trouble, my home country would fight for me—fight for justice for one of their own who is being oppressed in a foreign land.
As much as I hate that I cannot truly empathize with situations my friends find themselves in day after day, I am able to feel a portion of their pain because they have become my family. I want their pain to be my own and Jesus is so kind to grant that. I am learning there is so much to be said for "weeping with those who weep" even (and especially) when your own personal, present circumstances don't call for weeping. And in my experiences, they have been so gracious to receive my weeping instead of resenting it.
We dream about our futures together and I decline engagement in the "big house, perfect job, lots of money, healthy and happy family" reveries because I have learned that these things don't satisfy. I have had those things and quite honestly, could still have those things. I don't have them because I don't want them, but my access to them is undeniable… and I hate this. There is something almost prideful about having the option of this lifestyle, but turning it down.
As much as I want this to be a struggle of the past–something that characterized my first few steps down the staircase, I am not sure that will ever be the case. As difficult as it is to live in this tension, I cannot help but believe Jesus is glorified by our, albeit fumbling, attempts to live in solidarity with the poor, orphaned, outcast, widows, homeless, sick, and lonely.
One of the things I love most about Jesus and the way He used His time on earth to teach us how to live is how mind-blowingly clear He is. I am simple minded and need straightforward directions; He graciously made it so that we do not have to make any assumptions or decode any messages to understand His heart for the poor. He is crazy about them. He honors them and cherishes them and calls them His friends; not for charity's sake, but for love's sake. I love the way Father Greg Boyle defines this solidarity: "kinship– not serving the other, but being one with the other. Jesus was not "a man for others"; he was one with them. There is a world of difference in that."
Above all else, I want to know them and I want to struggle alongside of them. I want them to know me and struggle alongside of me. I want to share what I have with them and I want them to share what they have with me. I want to cry with them and I want to dance with them. I want them to cry with me and I want them to dance with me. I want to pray for them but I also want and need them to pray for me. I want to get angry with them about injustice and I want to fight alongside of them—arm in arm, not one in front of the other. I want to learn from them, but more than that I desperately need to learn from them.
This is what I want. And this is what God is doing, slowly but surely, and not without pain and difficulty and awkwardness and lots of fumbles.

Owner's Comments
The Norweb specimen - the finest known. Called "a superb specimen, breathtaking in its beauty " when auctioned in 1988.
Expert Comments
Q. David BowersThe following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993).
Coinage Context
Record exports: In 1851 the excess of silver exports (including bullion, U.S. coins, and coins from other countries) over imports jumped to $23 million, up dramatically from just $2 million the year before according to Neil Carothers in Fractional Money (Carothers, Fractional Money, pp. 108-112, was the source of much of this information.) Coinage Laws of the United States reports an export figure of $6,635,839, much lower than Carother's figure but still showing a significant increase over the year before. (See Additional Information at the end of this 1851 section) In the years 1850 and 1851 the excess exports of silver were more than the entire face value of silver coinage for the preceding two decades. Much of this exportation was in the form of earlier-minted coins, including silver dollars, which tended to be of higher weight and better acceptability than foreign silver coins in domestic circulation. It is likely that large numbers of Liberty Seated dollars minted 1840- 1850 saw destruction in this manner. New silver coins were made in very small amounts in 1851, and none was put into circulation at the time. The relatively new gold dollar denomination helped fill the gap, and production soared to a record 3,658,820 pieces, over seven times the quantity minted the previous year.
Low silver dollar mintage: The Philadelphia Mint restricted its issuance of silver dollars this year and in the year following. Only a few silver dollars, 1,300 in all, were made in 185l. (It is unknown if these were coined for depositors or on government account. R.W. Julian, letter to the author March 10, 1992.) Carothers writes that none was placed into circulation at the time; otherwise, they would have been exported or melted. In the year 1851 gold dollars were produced at the Philadelphia Mint in the staggering and unprecedented quantity of 3,317,671 pieces, a number higher than the entire combined Liberty Seated silver dollar coinage from its inception in 1840 up to this point in time (1851). The Liberty Seated dollar had become a second-rate coin in American commerce, and from about this point onward little notice would be made of it.
What to do?: It became evident as the silver dollar became worth over $1.03 in meltdown value that the only way to have silver coins circulate was to select a ratio of silver unfavorable to gold. Another alternative was to make all silver coinage fiduciary-meaning that its face value would exceed its meltdown value. Congress had received proposals for such in 1800, 1816, 1819, 1832 and 1850. The subsidiary three-cent piece adopted in 1851 was doing quite well, yielding a profit, and demonstrating the value of fiduciary coinage. However, the members of the Congress Were not sufficiently versed in currency matters to understand the system. (Then, as has also been true in the 20th century, congressional testimony demonstrated vividly that the average elected official had very little knowledge of coinage, finance, and related matters. As modern-day readers of relevant articles in Coin World, Numismatic News, and other periodicals know well, trying to educate congressmen on tile fine points of coinage, designs, etc., is usually an exercise in futility.) Congress believed in general that silver was better as a standard than gold. Likewise, to a majority of Americans gold was still unfamiliar as a common medium. Only one country in the world (England) had adopted gold as its sole standard.
The eventual answer would be the Act of 1853, lowering the weights of all silver coins except the dollar and three-cent piece such in 1800, 1816, 1819, 1832 and 1850. The subsidiary three-cent piece adopted in 1851 was doing quite well, yielding a profit, and demonstrating the value of fiduciary coinage. However, the members of the Congress were not sufficiently versed in currency matters to understand the system. Congress believed in general that silver was better as a standard than gold. Likewise, to a majority of Americans gold was still unfamiliar as a common medium. Only one country in the world (England) had adopted gold as its sole standard. The eventual answer would be the Act of 1853, lowering the weights of all silver coins except the dollar and three-cent piece.
Numismatic Information
Circulated grades: Mint records indicate that 1,300 dollars bearing this date were minted. As noted, these were not placed into circulation at the time. Probably, they left the Mint in the year or two succeeding, in exchange for bullion deposits (this is speculation). The desirability of the low-mintage 1851 and 1852 dates was recognized early in the numismatic game, by which time most were no longer available at the source. By 1858, the "Midnight Minters" and others at the Mint knew full well that the 1851 (and 1852) dollars were rarities. It is logical to assume that by that time the original circulation strike mintages had been dispersed.
I believe that sharp-eyed bank tellers, Treasury employees, hotel clerks, and others, perhaps equipped with a coin buying guide issued by Cook, Morey, von Bergen, or some other nineteenth century precursor of B. Max Mehl, snapped up all the examples they could find. Such coin premium books were distributed in large quantities beginning with Cook's efforts in the mid-1870s and, for all I know, even earlier by others. Even so, very few were ever found.
The 1851 is a great rarity in circulated grades. Walter H. Breen suggests that most that do survive in worn grades are at higher levels such as grade EF or AU. (Letter to the author, February 12, 1992.)
Mint State grades: Most 1851 dollars known to exist are in Mint State. I suspect that the Mint saved a few at the time of issue, perhaps for trading purposes to acquire pieces for the Mint Cabinet.
Circulation strikes:
1. High Date, frosty surfaces: Breen-5445. Obverse with date high in field, close to the rock base of Miss Liberty, and slanting down to the right. Shield point is approximately over left upright of 1. The base of the second 1 in the date is closer to the denticles than the first. Frosty (not prooflike) surfaces. Circulation strikes without prooflike surfaces typically have many parallel die striations in the fields. Reverse of Circulation strike No.1 of 1850 (also used to coin Proof No. 1 of 1850). Die cracks as described under 1850 Circulation strike No.1, but not as prominent (James C. Gray suggests that possibly the 1850 die was slightly lapped prior to striking the 1851 (Letter to the author, October 5, 1992.).
ANS specimen: Reverse crack at the rim below N of ONE, to base of 0 in same word. Crack from the rim at 8 o'clock to the upper left serif of U in UNITED.
2. High Date, prooflike surfaces: Breen-5445. Obverse as preceding, but now highly polished to remove clash marks. As noted, the existence of true Proofs is doubtful, and those attributed as such in the past are now believed to be prooflike circulation strikes. Reverse: As described earlier.
Dies prepared: Obverse: 1; Reverse: 1.
Circulation strike mintage: 1,300; Delivery figures by month: June or December (not certain, one or the other; existing Mint records are imperfect): 1,300.
Estimated quantity melted: Unknown
Characteristics of striking: Stars on the right obverse are usually flat; otherwise, the coins are average strikes. Frosty circulation strike coins have numerous die striae. Later strikings from highly polished dies have prooflike surfaces.
Known hoards of Mint State coins: None
This is the rarest Philadelphia Mint silver dollar in the Liberty Seated series 1840-1873.

Intel® Atom™ Dual-Core Processor & DDR3 memory
The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series is equipped with Intel® Atom™ Dual-Core Processor, 4GB DDR3 memory, and USB 3.0, maximizing the data transfer speed to support large data transfers and multiple data transfers which occurs constantly in daily business operations.
*Test conducted by Buffalo on December 2012.
[PC] Motherboard: Intel DH77KC (PU-0015), Chipset: Intel H77, BIOS: KCH7710H.86A.0095.2012.0608.1754,
CPU: Intel Corei3 2100, Memory: DDR3-1600 2GB, System: 64bit OS, Gigabit Ethernet: Intel 82579V Gigabit Network Connection,
HDD: Seagate ST31000DM003 x2 RAID, OS: Windows7 x86 Professinal SP1 [NAS] WS5600D, WS-6VL/R5 Connected WS5600D and WS-6VL/R5 to PC by LAN and mounted as network drive, then ran five tests using NASPT Ver.1.71. Above value has been taken from the average of three test results, excluding maximum and minimum value.
*Measured values were obtained in a specific test environment; this does not necessarily gurarantee similar results can be achieved in all operating environments.
Seamlessly share large files from multiple location within the network
With TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series, you can share large files within the network with cross-platform support for versatility and access restrictions for security.
Functions for more efficient use of hard disk capacity
1. Storage Pools
This allows a system administrator to group multiple physical disks together and manage them as a single disk, without the constraints of the physical hard disks' capacity or configuration.
For example, a virtual disk can be created from a combination of TeraStation™ drives and an external hard disk connected to the USB port, enabling the user to freely configure unallocated storage capacity on the combined physical hard disks, without regard to the remaining disk space on any individual physical hard disk. This also allows replacement or addition of physical hard disks as needed.
2. Thin Provisioning
Disk virtualization allows the user to create a virtual disk with greater capacity than the actual disk size. This function allows the user to allocate the virtual disk size in line with expected future capacity and add only the required hard drives as they are required, thus holding down the costs of initial investment while maintaining high disk utilization.
Expand your existing server's storage capacity with iSCSI
The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series can be used as an iSCSI storage array, allowing you to expand the storage space of your existing server. Since this can be done through the LAN network, installation location can be flexible.
Increase storage capacity for virtual server environment with iSCSI
The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series can be used as additional storage for virtual server environment.
By mirroring two TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series, system with greater redundancy can be created.
HDD replaceable with optional hard drive cartridge
The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series uses cartridge type tray for easier HDD replacement. HDD can be quickly replaced by lifting the lever and sliding the cartridge out from the slot. No need to remove screws.
OP-HDS, an optional hard drive cartridge for TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series can be used for replacement.
Efficient account administration with Active Directory support
The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series uses the account information registered in the Active Directory server to control access to files and folders stored on the unit. This means that it requires no separate account management. In addition, the server can accommodate an unlimited number of registered users and groups, so it can be used even in large-scale environments. Active Directory centralizes management of account information, which vastly reduces the work of setup and administration, even with systems using multiple units.
Group administration function provides flexibility and rigorous security
Read-only and read-write attributes can be set for the individual folders and files residing on the unit. You can also restrict access to shared folders for groups and users individually for secure, efficient data management.
Quota function allows setting of users' available capacity
File server resource managers can set and manage the amount of storage capacity, in folder and volumes.
Managers can also set NTFS quotas*, providing users and groups the appropriate amount of disk space while preventing any one user or group from making excessive use of the hard drive.
*Volume must be formatted for NTFS
Frees up wasted disk space by deleting duplicate files
Function: Data Deduplication — Single Instance Storage (SIS)
These TeraStation™ models include a "data deduplication" function that eliminates wasted disk storage capacity. The function saves disk capacity by detecting duplicate copies of data files in different folders and automatically deleting blocks containing the same data found in other blocks.
*Supported for Standard Edition only
Increase security by restricting the types of files that can be saved
Function: File Screening
The TeraStation™ WSS 5000 Series also features a "file screening" function. This function allows administrators to predetermine the file types, extensions, and other information for files that may be saved to the TeraStation™ or specified folders, and prevents files that don't meet these criteria from being saved. Files can be sorted by file type, making it easier to search files and manage servers.
Prevent data from being leaked, even if the TeraStation™ is stolen
Function: Disk Encryption (BitLocker)
Using the TeraStation™ WSS 5000 Series encryption settings allows you to encrypt data automatically as it is written to the drive. This means that even if the hard disk is removed and taken away, the data cannot be read with another computer or TeraStation. In addition, you can assign passwords to shared folders with files residing on the TeraStation so that only users with the password can access the files.
* When the encryption settings are used, files are encrypted and cannot be read on other devices. However, files that are not assigned passwords can be read on the encrypted TeraStation without a password.
Operations continue even if PCs and mobile devices are disconnected from the network
Function: Offline Files
The TeraStation™ WSS 5000 Series supports the "Offline Files" function provided with Windows 8/7/Vista/XP/2000 and Windows Server 2012/2008/2003. This function enables folders and files to be accessed, even when the NAS is not connected to the network (offline; updated files are synchronized between the computer and TeraStation™ upon reconnection to the network)
Two different network segments can be connected using two LAN ports
The TeraStation™WS5000R2 Series is equipped with two LAN ports, enabling access from each segment to be managed separately. Unrelated divisions are prevented from connecting to each other's networks, while being allowed to access the data stored on their own folders in the TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series.
No need to purchase individual Client Access License (CAL)
Regular Windows® Server OS requires Client Access License (CAL) in each clients in order to access the server OS. With the Windows® Storage Server 2012 R2, which is installed in this TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series,there is no need to purchace individual CAL to access the server OS. This helps reduce the initial cost of installing a server in your office.
DFS replication allows you to save data to a remote location via the network
The TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series supports "DFS Replication", which allows you to back up files to a TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series in a different location via the network. Backing up data to a remote location via the Internet protects your data, even when there is a breakdown locally. Even if a natural disaster or other such major problem occurs at the head office, the backup data in the remote locations allow to recover data.
*Difficulties in backing up may occur in some network environments. We recommend that the system be evaluated and verified in advance.
*Use of this function requires Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 R2 or later. In addition, the two TeraStation™ WS5000R2 Series units must be located in the same forest.
Multiple backup options available
- Replication
Replicates data between two TeraStations. In the event of a TeraStation failure, simply unplug the Ethernet cable from the malfunctioning TeraStation and plug into the backup TeraStation for service restoration.
*Supported after firmware update
- Scheduled backup
Scheduled backup can be set at a specific date and/or time.
*Supported after firmware update
- Many-to-one TeraStation Backup
Backup all shared folders in multiple TeraStations on a single TeraStation
*Supported after firmware update
Added data protection with RAID 5,1,and 0 support
There are two internal HDDs equipped in the unit and features "RAID", a technology that can recognize and show multiple hard drives like a single drive and which allows the storage to be configured in accordance with the user's needs. Using RAID 1 mode, for example, if one internal drive fails, you can recover the content, There are two internal HDDs equipped in the unit and features "RAID", a technology that can recognize and Normal mode, in which the two drives are used as independent drives.
Joining Active Directory makes administration more efficient
Copies of the shared folder can be created automatically according to administrator-specified schedules. If a user accidentally deletes afile,the user himself can use Explorer or a major Microsoft Office application* to directly restore the deleted file to when last saved.
*User of Shared Folder Shadow Copy requlres th cllent computer to be running Windows XP SP2
or later.
Hardware supporting 24/7 operation

LANCE® Eu-W8044-DTA Chelate is optimized for the labeling of proteins and peptides containing at least one primary aliphatic amino group. The labeled compound can be used in LANCE® homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assays and fluorescence quenching assays (TF-FQA).
LANCE® (Lanthanide chelate excite) and LANCE® Ultra are our TR-FRET (time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer), homogeneous (no wash) technologies. One molecule of interest is labeled with a donor fluorophore (a LANCE Europium chelate) and the second molecule is labeled with an acceptor fluorophore [ULight™ dye, allophycocyanin (APC)]. Upon excitation at 320 or 340 nm, energy can be transferred from the donor Europium chelate to the acceptor fluorophore if sufficiently close for FRET (~10 nm). This results in the emission of light at 665 nm (for ULight dye and APC).

Propecia, the Baldness Pill: Does it Work?
by Alice A. McCarthy, MBA
If you are a man with hereditary hair loss, there are products available to help you keep your hair. One option is finasteride (Propecia), a prescription medication that is in tablet form and taken orally.
How Finasteride Works
Finasteride was first developed to shrink enlarged prostate glands. Researchers noticed that it also helped grow hair, so a special lower-dose formulation—Propecia—was developed for hair loss.
Finasteride interferes with conversion of testosterone to another hormone called 5 alpha-dihydro-testosterone (or DHT). DHT reduces hair follicle activity. Over time and under the influence of DHT, follicles sprout thinner hairs until no hair regrows. When finasteride blocks DHT production, thinning of hair ceases and a more normal growth may possibly occur.
The Good News and the Bad News
A review of multiple trials including thousands of men and lasting up to 2 years found that taking finasteride was associated with improved hair growth and increased hair count, but that is also associated with erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems.
But, it is not only finasteride's ability to grow hair that interests some doctors. Finasteride may help men to stop losing the hair they have. So it appears that even if finasteride does not help you grow lots of new hair, it may allow you to keep what you have—at least for a while.
You must be patient, though, and be willing to take the drug once a day indefinitely. It may take 3-4 months before new hair is noticed. If you stop taking the drug, all of your newly grown hair will fall within a year. Also, taking the medication every day can be expensive.
Side Effects
Finasteride has some potentially unsettling side effects. The medication has been associated with breast tenderness, a reduced sex drive, problems with ejaculation, and orgasm disorders that continue even after you stop taking the drug. Male infertility and poor semen quality are also possible with finasteride, but these problems should improve after you stop taking the drug.
If you are taking the medication, be sure that your doctors knows. One effect of taking finasteride is that it will lower PSA, a compound produced by the body in the presence of a prostate cancer or just with increased age. Blood tests checking for PSA levels may be more difficult to interpret as a result of the medication being in your system. If you have both hair loss and symptoms of prostate enlargement (hesitancy in urinating or diminished urinary stream), you may find that these symptoms improve because the medication is also used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy.
If you have hereditary hair loss, there are treatment options available. Talk to your doctor about whether you are a good candidate to take finasteride. Other options available include hair transplant surgery and the over-the-counter product minoxidil (Rogaine).

Seed Savers Exchange conserves biodiversity by maintaining a collection of over 20,000 different varieties of heirloom and open-pollinated plants with the ability to regenerate themselves year after year. These seeds (and tissue cultures or other plant materials, depending on how a plant reproduces) have the power to withstand unforeseen pestilence and plant disease, climate change, and limited habitat, and to stop dinnertime boredom forever.
Why Do Seeds Need Saving??
In the last century or so, the world has lost 75% of its edible plant varieties. That might be hard to perceive when many of us have enough food on our plates, but consider this: According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization, only five cereal grains make up 60% of our calories. A system that depends so heavily on so few crops is quite fragile. Think of the Irish Potato Famine – the use of only one variety of potato led to a catastrophe. In 1845, the introduction of a new fungus wiped out the primary source of food in Ireland, leading to the death or emigration of some one and a half million people.
Industrial agriculture and the chemicals and machines that it employs have required that farmers and, more often, scientists breed for uniformity in plants and animals. In the United States in particular, genetically engineered plant varieties have had a devastating impact on biodiversity. According to the USDA's Economic Research Service, since their commercial introduction in 1996, use of genetically engineered (GE) crops by US farmers has increased steadily. In fact, in 2013, 170 million acres of GE crops were planted in the US, seeds that are patented and cannot be saved and planted again next year. That's roughly half of all American cropland.
It's no wonder, then, that stewards of seed and heritage varieties are scarce. With no one to teach his or her neighbors and children about the importance of these plants, the art of saving seed dies out, and with it, we lose the precious varieties these mentors safeguarded.
