2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport AWD — it gets through the muck of a rain-soaked pasture.
From the outside, they look pretty much the same – the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport front-wheel-drive (FWD) and the Santa Fe Sport with all-wheel-drive (AWD). But in the driving of the two, there is a difference. I tested the front-wheel-drive version a while back, but this time I had the AWD edition and got […]

2014 Volkswagen Passat — a German alternative to the ubiquitous Camrys and Accords.
Think of it as a German Camry (or Accord or Altima.) We're speaking of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat – in this case, its top-of-the-line model, the SEL Premium. It's a bit uncanny, this similarity to the Japanese cars, but it's clear that VW is taking specific aim at the midsize sedan segment – the bread-and-butter […]

PCR Troubleshooting
Expert help to solve your PCR problems. A step-by-step guide to PCR troubleshooting see also PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization: The Essential Guide.

PCR Troubleshooting: The Template DNA
The DNA in a PCR reaction comprises two types:- the target sequence to be amplified
- the non-target DNA (also called the "burden" DNA
Problems also occur when the ratio of the target DNA to the burden DNA is very low, for example the amplification of a 500 bp fragment from the human genome (1 to 6 x 106). A better ratio is between 1:1 and 1:1 x 104. A ratio of 1:1 is achieved in a reamplification reaction and a ratio of about 104 is achieved when amplifying from the Escherichia coli genome.
When the total amount of the DNA in a PCR reaction is extremely small, there is an increased likelihood of its loss owing to any conceivable cause (clotting, adsorption, chemical or enzymatic degradation). Furthermore, a small amount of target DNA leads to an increased risk from contaminating DNA from impurities on anything that can come into contact with the DNA solution. In this respect, both the DNA diluent, the dust floating in the air, exhalations and even particles of skin or hair from your body should not be disregarded, as these can carry both the DNA and the DNA-degrading substances. Nucleases are probably as the major cause of DNA degradation in a PCR procedure. They are abundant on the surface of the human skin and can be present everywhere else too. Mild autoclaving of the DNA diluent and everything that comes in regular, occasional, or accidental contact with buffers and solutions will destroy both the nucleases and comtaminating DNA. If you suspect problems of this nature, wear gloves, a surgeon's cap, and a face mask. Also, wash the working space with an oxidizing substance such as (6% H202).
from PCR Troubleshooting: The Essential Guide see also PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization: The Essential Guide
PCR Troubleshooting: Inadequate dNTPs
An incorrect concentration of deoxynucleotidetriphosphates (dNTPs) can cause problems for the PCR procedure. The usual dNTP concentration is between 40μM and 200μM of EACH of the four dNTPs. Excessive dNTP concentrations can inhibit the PCR preventing the formation of product. However, concentrations up to 400 μM each dNTP have been reported to work adequately. Low primer, target, Taq, and dNTP concentrations are preferable as these generally ensure cleaner product and lower background. For longer PCR-fragments a higher deoxynucleotidetriphosphate concentration may be required. A large change in the dNTP concentration may require a corresponding change in the concentration of MgCl2.Suboptimal concentration of nucleotides can cause incomplete primer elongation or premature termination of DNA synthesis during the elongation step of the PCR cycle.
from PCR Troubleshooting: The Essential Guide see also PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization: The Essential Guide
PCR Troubleshooting: Primer Concentration
The recommended primer concentration for PCR is between 0.1μM and 1μM of each primer. The use of higher concentrations of primers can have the following effects:- If the primers are capable of forming dimers, raising their concentration only results in the creation of primer-dimers and does not improve the amplification of the desired PCR product. Primer-derived oligomers will possibly contaminate the reaction.
- If the primers do not form primer-dimers, it is likely that raising the primer concentration will lead to non-specific primer binding and the creation of spurious, undesirable PCR products.
However, to amplify short PCR target sequences, careful calculation of the optimum primer concentration is required. For example, if the target fragment length is 100bp, a greater number of PCR product molecules is required to provide a specified amount of amplified DNA (in nanograms) than for a larger target fragment. In order to generate the required number of PCR product molecules, a greater number of primers may be needed. Therefore, concentration of primers higher than 1μM may be necessary, and desirable, for short target sequences.
from PCR Troubleshooting: The Essential Guide see also PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization: The Essential Guide
PCR Troubleshooting: Taq Concentration
In a PCR experiment approximately 1 unit of the Taq enzyme should be used for a 25μl reaction. Suboptimal concentration of the Taq enzyme can cause incomplete primer elongation or premature termination of the PCR product synthesis during the elongation step of a PCR cycle.Too much Taq will result in an excessive background of unwanted DNA fragments (a smear on a gel) while a huge excess may cause the reaction to fail with no product being detected. A Taq concentration of 1 unit per 25μl reaction ensures a cleaner product and lower background.
from PCR Troubleshooting: The Essential Guide see also PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization: The Essential Guide
PCR Troubleshooting: Mg Concentration
Magnesium is a required cofactor for thermostable DNA polymerases. Mg2+ in the PCR mixture stabilizes dsDNA and raises the Tm. Mg2+ concentration therefore is an important for controlling the specificity of the reaction. A low Mg2+ concentration requires more stringent base pairing in the annealing step. Too few Mg2+ ions result in a low yield of PCR product; too many Mg2+ ions increase the yield of non-specific products and promote misincorporation.Insufficient Mg2+ concentration in a PCR mixture can causes failure of the reaction. Excess magnesium (or the presence of manganese) will cause the fidelity of DNA polymerases to be reduced and may cause the generation of unwanted products. On a gel this can appear as a ladder or smear. The MgCl2 concentration should normally be between 1mM and 4mM. Since dNTPs sequester Mg2+ ions, a major change in the dNTP concentration in a rection would require a change in the concentration of MgCl2. Similarly, changing the KCl-based buffer concentration or any other component of the PCR mix may require adjustment of the Mg2+ concentration in the reaction mixture.
from PCR Troubleshooting: The Essential Guide see also PCR Troubleshooting and Optimization: The Essential Guide
PCR Troubleshooting: KCl Concentration
Potassium chloride (KCl) is normally used in a PCR amplification at a final concentration of 50mM. To improve the PCR amplification of DNA fragments, especially fragments in the size range 100bp to 1000bp, a KCl concentration of between 70mM and 100mM is sometimes recommended. For the amplification of longer products a lower salt concentration appears to be better. But the PCR amplification of short products works better at higher salt concentrations. This is probably because an increase in salt concentration permits shorter DNA molecules to denature preferentially to longer DNA molecules. Shorter molecules are therefore amplified better at higher salt concentration. It should be remembered however that a salt concentration above 50mM can inhibit the Taq polymerase.If you are finding unwanted, long, non-specific products an increase in KCl concentration may reduce the appearance of these products. Similarly, to get rid of short, non-specific products you can decrease the KCl concentration to about 35 or 40mM. In either case do not change the MgCl2 concentration. To improve the yield of a product you can try adjusting the KCl concentration: increase it for a desired product less than 1000bp; lower it for a desired product greater than 1000bp.

I just ordered a gallon of orange blossom honey from Miller's in CA. Here's my plan (3 gallon batch): 9 lbs honey 7 lbs cherries Lavlin 71B-1122 yeast hightest's SNA water to ~ 3 gallons After a month or so, I'll rack to secondary on another 7lbs cherries. In the meantime, I'll have made a batch of show mead using the same orange blossom honey and 71B-1122. After another month or so (maybe longer for secondary), I'll rack to tertiary and top off with the show mead; bulk age, rack as neccessary; bottle when crystal clear and age for a long time. What do you all think?
Sounds yummy!
Thanks summer; I was drooling over your cherry wine and cherry mead recipes and decided I needed to get one going!
Cherry mead is most awesome. After seeing summersolstice's, I had to make one myself. I didn't use raw cherry, but used oregon puree. It was made in june and I bottled about 11 bottles of it dry as it is, then mixed up some cherry concentrate and honey and backsweetened the rest in a 3g carboy I plan to bottle in a few weeks once I'm sure it's stable and clear. I'd love to get my hands on enough real cherries - maybe next year when they're in harvest I'll do another batch like that.
Sounds really good. I've been thinking about using some fruits in my batches, I've just never gotten around to doing it. I do have a 1g batch that I have added some cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves to. It's aging in the back room now. So, when you add fruits like cherries, does the finished product have a really strong cherry flavor? I know it probably depends on when you add them and how much you add, I guess what I'm getting at here is for instance if AZ adds 7lbs in primary and then 7lbs more gets racked onto in secondary for the 3g batch, will this produce an extreme cherry bomb that will need to age for several years? Or will it be something much more subtle that congeals well in only a few months?
I used quite a bit of frozen cherries in mine and I'm drinking it now after it bulk aged for a year and it's been in the bottle for 4-5 months and it's good now but likely to get better. Be sure to add k-meta to preserve the color.
So I'm about to mix this thing up in the next day or so, but I have a couple of questions for the mazers out there. - Do I need to thaw the cherries? - Do I (should I?) pit the cherries? - Should I use campden if I do the no-heat method? - How do I get a reliable OG using the no-heat method? - How long in the primary? I'm assuming until fermentation is done - How ling in the secondary? I'm assuming a few weeks - when should I add k-meta to preserve the color? - if I add k-meta, could I still make this sparkling (would you want this sparkling or still?)

Designing Instructional Examples to Reduce Intrinsic Cognitive Load: Molar versus Modular Presentati
It is usually assumed that successful problem solving in knowledge-rich domains depends on the availability of abstract problem-type schemas whose acquisition can be supported by presenting students with worked examples. Conventionally designed worked examples often focus on information that is related to the main components of problem-type schemas, namely on information related to problem-category membership, structural task features, and category-specific solution procedures. However, studying

Second, we review evidence from our own hypertext-based research that gives reasons for integrating configurations
The Use of Multiple Student Modeling to Parameterize Group Learning
Recent criticism of ITS research for neglecting social aspects of learning is constructively answered by a practical attempt to extrapolate student modeling and intelligent learning support to group situations. The central focus is on using individually assessed student models to anticipate and parameterize group learning situations. This requires the integration of knowledge from individual models. Aspects of system architecture and dialogue design are discussedbased on an example of a replicat
Computer Supported Interaction Analysis of Group Problem Solving
Collaboration is widely regarded as beneficial for learning. Collaboration is the mutual engagement of participants in a coordinated effort to solve a problem together. It has been conclusively argued that a focus on the process of collaboration is necessary in order to understand the value of working together with peers for learning. In accordance with the approach of open distributed learning environments (ODLEs), we have developed a framework system for computer-supported cooperative learning
Toward Cognitive Tutoring in a Collaborative, Web-Based Environment
A potentially powerful way to aid in the authoring of intelligent tutoring systems is to directly leverage student interaction log data. While problem-solving data has been used in the past to guide the development of tutors, such data has not been used as a means to directly construct an initial tutoring system model. We propose an approach called bootstrapping novice data (BND) in which a problem-solving tool is integrated with tutor development software through log files and that integration
Towards a Pattern Language for Intelligent Teaching and Training Systems
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) are usually based on similar fundamental structures. In contrast to this, software engineering techniques are seldomly used for realizing ITSs. In the last years, some approaches tried to change this: pattern mining took place; methods covering the specifics of ITS project development have been deployed. These approaches usually focus on a specific system type or on a certain application domain. What is missing is a combination of all the different approaches

- Forum: Streetwear and Denim

Lots of sizing issues lately, thought I'd chime in:
IME Yuketen's DO NOT run "true to size" (whatever the hell that means), they fit a full size large. I went with my usual dress shoe size 9 when I bought this season's Angler Mocs. After a few wears and major heel slippage I realized that I should have gone a size down.
MBrand mentioned this earlier and I'll say it again: the best way to find out your size in Yuketen's if you can't try them on in person is to have your...

Anil Kumble to head ICC Technical Committee
Indian cricket great and RCB mentor Anil Kumble was appointed as the Chairman of the ICC's Technical Committee after an executive meeting in Colombo on Tuesday.
Kumble will replace Clive Lloyd as the Chairman, just a week after replacing Sourav Ganguly as the head of the BCCI's Technical Committee, a position he will continue to hold. He is also the president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association.
The recently retired Andrew Strauss was the other new name in the Technical Committee, nominated by Ian Bishop as his replacement after the West Indian voluntarily stepped down from the panel.

Delete substrings
This functionality does not run in MATLAB.
stringlib::remove(string1, string2, <First>)
With stringlib::remove, a substring can be deleted from another string.
After string2 has been found, the search for further occurrences of it continues after its last letter; hence only the first of several overlapping occurrences is detected. See Example 3.
By default, out of several occurrences of the given substring all are removed.
stringlib::remove("abcdeabcdeabcde", "bc")
Using the option First causes stringlib::remove to remove only the first occurrence of the given substring.
stringlib::remove("abcdeabcdeabcde", "bc", First)
In the following example, the given substring occurs twice, where both instances of it do overlap. Only the first occurrence is removed.
stringlib::remove("aaa", "aa")

Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger ( /ˈʃroʊdɪŋər/; German: [ˈɛʁviːn ˈʃʁøːdɪŋɐ]; 12 August 1887 – 4 January 1961), was an Austrian physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in the field of quantum theory, which formed the basis of wave mechanics: he formulated the wave equation (stationary and time-dependent Schrödinger equation) and revealed the identity of his development of the formalism and matrix mechanics. Schrödinger proposed an original interpretation of the physical meaning of the wave function and in subsequent years repeatedly criticized the conventional Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics (using e.g. the paradox of Schrödinger's cat). In addition, he is the author of many works in various fields of physics: statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, physics of dielectrics, color theory, electrodynamics, general relativity and cosmology, and he made several attempts to construct a unified field theory. In his book "What is life?" Schrödinger addressed the problems of genetics, looking at the phenomenon of life from the point of view of physics. He paid great attention to the philosophical aspects of science, ancient and oriental philosophical concepts, ethics and religion.[2] He also wrote on philosophy and theoretical biology.
Contents |
In 1887 Schrödinger was born in Vienna, Austria to Rudolf Schrödinger (cerecloth producer, botanist) and Georgine Emilia Brenda (daughter of Alexander Bauer, Professor of Chemistry, Technische Hochschule Vienna). He was their only child.
His mother was half Austrian and half English; his father was Catholic and his mother was Lutheran. Despite having a religious background, he later on became an atheist.[3][4][5]
Schrödinger graduated from the Akademisches Gymnasium in 1906 and, in that year, entered the University of Vienna. In theoretical physics he studied analytical mechanics, applications of partial differential equations to dynamics, eigenvalue problems, Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic theory, optics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. It was Fritz Hasenöhrl's lectures on theoretical physics which had the greatest influence on Schrödinger. In mathematics he was taught calculus and algebra by Franz Mertens, function theory, differential equations and mathematical statistics by Wilhelm Wirtinger (whom he found uninspiring as a lecturer). He also studied projective geometry, algebraic curves and continuous groups in lectures given by Gustav Kohn.[6]
On 20 May 1910, Schrödinger was awarded his doctorate for the dissertation On the conduction of electricity on the surface of insulators in moist air. After this he undertook voluntary military service in the fortress artillery. Then he was appointed to an assistantship at Vienna but, rather surprisingly, in experimental physics rather than theoretical physics. He later said that his experiences conducting experiments proved an invaluable asset to his theoretical work since it gave him a practical philosophical framework in which to set his theoretical ideas.[6]
He was also able to learn English outside of school, as his maternal grandmother was British.[7] Between 1906 and 1910 Schrödinger studied in Vienna under Franz Serafin Exner (1849–1926) and Friedrich Hasenöhrl (1874–1915). He also conducted experimental work with Karl Wilhelm Friedrich "Fritz" Kohlrausch.
In 1911 Schrödinger became an assistant to Exner. At an early age, Schrödinger was strongly influenced by Arthur Schopenhauer. As a result of his extensive reading of Schopenhauer's works, he became deeply interested throughout his life in color theory and philosophy. In his lecture "Mind and Matter," he said that "the world extended in space and time is but our representation." This is a repetition of the first words of Schopenhauer's main work.
In 1914 Erwin Schrödinger achieved Habilitation (venia legendi). Between 1914 and 1918 he participated in war work as a commissioned officer in the Austrian fortress artillery (Gorizia, Duino, Sistiana, Prosecco, Vienna). On 6 April 1920, Schrödinger married Annemarie Bertel in 1919 and Anny had come to work as a secretary in Vienna on a monthly salary which was more than Schrödinger's annual income. Then he was offered an associate professorship, still not at a salary large enough to support a non-working wife, so he declined. The same year, he became the assistant to Max Wien, in Jena, and in September 1920 he attained the position of ao. Prof. (Ausserordentlicher Professor), roughly equivalent to Reader (UK) or associate professor (US), in Stuttgart. In 1921, he became o. Prof. (Ordentlicher Professor, i.e. full professor), in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland). Schrödinger had worked at Vienna on radioactivity, proving the statistical nature of radioactive decay. He had also made important contributions to the kinetic theory of solids, studying the dynamics of crystal lattices. On the strength of his work he was offered an associate professorship at Vienna in January 1920.
In 1921, he moved to the University of Zürich. In 1927, he succeeded Max Planck at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin. In 1933, however, Schrödinger decided to leave Germany; he disliked the Nazis' anti-semitism. He became a Fellow of Magdalen College at the University of Oxford. Soon after he arrived, he received the Nobel Prize together with Paul Dirac. His position at Oxford did not work out; his unconventional personal life (Schrödinger lived with two women)[8] was not met with acceptance. In 1934, Schrödinger lectured at Princeton University; he was offered a permanent position there, but did not accept it. Again, his wish to set up house with his wife and his mistress may have posed a problem.[9] He had the prospect of a position at the University of Edinburgh but visa delays occurred, and in the end he took up a position at the University of Graz in Austria in 1936.
In the midst of these tenure issues in 1935, after extensive correspondence with Albert Einstein, he proposed what is now called the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment.
In 1939, after the Anschluss, Schrödinger had problems because of his flight from Germany in 1933 and his known opposition to Nazism. He issued a statement recanting this opposition (he later regretted doing so and personally apologized to Einstein). However, this did not fully appease the new dispensation and the university dismissed him from his job for political unreliability. He suffered harassment and received instructions not to leave the country, but he and his wife fled to Italy. From there, he went to visiting positions in Oxford and Ghent Universities.[citation needed]
In 1940, he received a personal invitation from Ireland's Taoiseach, Éamon de Valera, to reside in Ireland and agree to help establish an Institute for Advanced Studies in Dublin. He moved to Clontarf, Dublin and became the Director of the School for Theoretical Physics and remained there for 17 years. He became a naturalized Irish citizen in 1948, but retained his Austrian citizenship. He wrote about 50 further publications on various topics, including his explorations of unified field theory.
In 1944, he wrote What is Life?, which contains a discussion of negentropy and the concept of a complex molecule with the genetic code for living organisms. According to James D. Watson's memoir, DNA, the Secret of Life, Schrödinger's book gave Watson the inspiration to research the gene, which led to the discovery of the DNA double helix structure in 1953. Similarly, Francis Crick, in his autobiographical book What Mad Pursuit, described how he was influenced by Schrödinger's speculations about how genetic information might be stored in molecules. However, the geneticist and 1946 Nobel-prize winner H.J. Muller had in his 1922 article "Variation due to Change in the Individual Gene"[10] already laid out all the basic properties of the heredity molecule that Schrödinger derives from first principles in What is Life?, properties which Muller refined in his 1929 article "The Gene As The Basis of Life"[11] and further clarified during the 1930s, long before the publication of What is Life?.[12]
Schrödinger stayed in Dublin until retiring in 1955. During this time he remained committed to his particular passion; involvements with students occurred[dubious ] and he fathered two children by two different Irish women.[13] He had a lifelong interest in the Vedanta philosophy of Hinduism, which influenced his speculations at the close of What is Life? about the possibility that individual consciousness is only a manifestation of a unitary consciousness pervading the universe.[14] A manuscript "Fragment From An Unpublished Dialogue of Galileo" from this time recently resurfaced at The King's Hospital boarding school, Dublin [15] after it was written for the School's 1955 edition of their Blue Coat to celebrate his leaving of Dublin to take up his appointment as Chair of Physics at the University of Vienna.
In 1956, he returned to Vienna (chair ad personam). At an important lecture during the World Energy Conference he refused to speak on nuclear energy because of his skepticism about it and gave a philosophical lecture instead. During this period Schrödinger turned from mainstream quantum mechanics' definition of wave–particle duality and promoted the wave idea alone[citation needed], causing much controversy.
In 1978, Schrödinger's estate was brought to trial in Vienna, facing posthumous animal cruelty charges. A jury of his peers found him guilty and not guilty.[citation needed]
Schrödinger suffered from tuberculosis and several times in the 1920s stayed at a sanatorium in Arosa. It was there that he discovered his wave equation.[16]
Schrödinger decided in 1933 that he could not live in a country in which persecution of Jews had become a national policy. Alexander Frederick Lindemann, the head of physics at Oxford University, visited Germany in the spring of 1933 to try to arrange positions in England for some young Jewish scientists from Germany. He spoke to Schrödinger about posts for one of his assistants and was surprised to discover that Schrödinger himself was interested in leaving Germany. Schrödinger asked for a colleague, Arthur March, to be offered a post as his assistant.[6]
The request for March stemmed from Schrödinger's unconventional relationships with women: although his relations with his wife Anny were good, he had had many lovers with his wife's full knowledge (and in fact, Anny had her own lover, Hermann Weyl).[17][18] Schrödinger asked for March to be his assistant because, at that time, he was in love with March's wife Hilde.
Many of the scientists who had left Germany spent mid-1933 in the Italian province of South Tyrol. Here Hilde became pregnant with Schrödinger's child. On 4 November 1933 Schrödinger, his wife and Hilde March arrived in Oxford. Schrödinger had been elected a fellow of Magdalen College. Soon after they arrived in Oxford, Schrödinger heard that, for his work on wave mechanics, he had been awarded the Nobel prize.
In early 1934 Schrödinger was invited to lecture at Princeton University and while there he was made an offer of a permanent position. On his return to Oxford he negotiated about salary and pension conditions at Princeton but in the end he did not accept. It is thought that the fact that he wished to live at Princeton with Anny and Hilde both sharing the upbringing of his child was not found acceptable. The fact that Schrödinger openly had two wives, even if one of them was married to another man, was not well received in Oxford either. His daughter Ruth Georgie Erica was born there on 30 May 1934.[19]
On 4 January 1961, Schrödinger died in Vienna at the age of 73 of tuberculosis. He left a widow, Anny (born Annemarie Bertel on 3 December 1896, died 3 October 1965), and was buried in Alpbach, Austria.
Early in his life, Schrödinger was heavily involved in experiments relating to electrical engineering, atmospheric electricity and atmospheric radioactivity, usually with his then-teacher Franz Exner. He also studied vibrational theory, the theory of Brownian movement, and mathematical statistics. In 1912, at the request of the editors of the Handbook of Electricity and Magnetism, Schrodinger wrote an article titled Dieelectrism. That same year, Schrödinger gave a theoretical estimate of the probable height distribution of radioactive substances, which is required to explain the observed radioactivity of the atmosphere, and in August 1913 executed several experiments in Zeehame that confirmed his theoretical estimate and those of Victor Franz Hess. For this work, Schrödinger was awarded the 1920 Haytingera Prize (Haitinger-Preis) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.[20] Other experimental studies conducted by the young researcher in 1914 were checking formulas for capillary pressure in gas bubbles and the study of the properties of soft beta-radiation appearing in the fall of gamma rays on the surface of metal. The last work he performed together with his friend Fritz Kohlrausch. In 1919, Schrödinger performed his last physical experiment on coherent light and subsequently focused on theoretical studies.
In the first years of his career Schrödinger became acquainted with the ideas of quantum theory, developed in the works of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Arnold Sommerfeld, and others. This knowledge helped him work on some problems in statistical physics, but the Austrian scientist at the time was not yet ready to part with the traditional methods of classical physics.
The first publications of Schrödinger about atomic theory and the theory of spectra began to emerge only from the beginning of the 1920s, after his personal acquaintance with Sommerfeld and Wolfgang Pauli and his move to Germany. In January 1921, Schrödinger finished his first article on this subject, about the framework of the Bohr - Sommerfeld effect of the interaction of electrons on some features of the spectra of the alkali metals. Of particular interest to him was the introduction of relativistic considerations in quantum theory. In autumn 1922 he analyzed the electron orbits in an atom from a geometric point of view, using methods developed by the mathematician Hermann Weyl. This work, in which it was shown that quantum orbits can be associated with certain geometric properties, was an important step in predicting some of the features of wave mechanics. Earlier in the same year he created the Schrödinger equation of the relativistic Doppler effect for spectral lines, based on the hypothesis of light quanta and considerations of energy and momentum. He liked the idea of his teacher Exner on the statistical nature of the conservation laws, so he enthusiastically embraced the articles of Bohr, Kramers and Slater, which suggested the possibility of violation of these laws in individual atomic processes (for example, in the process of emission of radiation). Despite the fact that the experiments of Hans Geiger and Walther Bothe soon cast doubt on this, the idea of energy as a statistical concept was a lifelong attraction for Schrödinger and he discussed it in some reports and publications.[21]
In January 1926, Schrödinger published in Annalen der Physik the paper "Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem" [tr. Quantization as an Eigenvalue Problem] on wave mechanics and presented what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. In this paper he gave a "derivation" of the wave equation for time independent systems, and showed that it gave the correct energy eigenvalues for a hydrogen-like atom. This paper has been universally celebrated as one of the most important achievements of the twentieth century, and created a revolution in quantum mechanics and indeed of all physics and chemistry. A second paper was submitted just four weeks later that solved the quantum harmonic oscillator, the rigid rotor and the diatomic molecule, and gave a new derivation of the Schrödinger equation. A third paper in May showed the equivalence of his approach to that of Heisenberg and gave the treatment of the Stark effect. A fourth paper in this most remarkable series showed how to treat problems in which the system changes with time, as in scattering problems. These papers were the central achievement of his career and were at once recognized as having great significance by the physics community.
The philosophical issues raised by Schrödinger's cat are still debated today and remains his most enduring legacy in popular science, while Schrödinger's equation is his most enduring legacy at a more technical level. The huge crater Schrödinger, on the far side of the Moon, is named after him. The Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematical Physics was established in Vienna in 1993.
One of Schrödinger's lesser-known areas of scientific contribution was his work on color, color perception, and colorimetry (Farbenmetrik). In 1920, he published three papers in this area:
The second of these is available in English as "Outline of a Theory of Color Measurement for Daylight Vision" in Sources of Color Science, Ed. David L. MacAdam, The MIT Press (1970), 134–82.

I was sitting at work and my phone was vibrating like I had an incoming call. I couldn't take it so when I got a chance I check for voice mail. Oddly my phone showed no missed calls or voice mail. A little while later it did it again so I took my phone out and saw a screen that said something about "data connection" "slide up to...". I missed the last part and didn't think to take a screen cap before it went away.
Anyone have any idea what this was?

Astarte, the ancient Phoenician great goddess of fertility, motherhood, and war, is the counterpart of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, and is one of the oldest Middle Eastern aspects of the great Goddess, dating to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. Tammuz also is identified as her son/consort as he is with Ishtar. According to legend Astarte descended to earth as a fiery star, landing near Byblos in a lake at Alphaca, the site where the original Tammuz is said to have died.
The Phoenicians portrayed Astarte with cow horns, representing fertility. The Assyrians and Babylonians pictured her caressing a child. She was associated with the moon and called the Mother of the Universe, giver of all live on Earth. She ruled all spirits of the dead residing in heaven, visible from earth as stars; hence came her name Astroarche, "Queen of the Stars." She was called the mother of souls in heaven, the Moon surrounded by her star-children, to whom she gave their "astral" (starry) bodies. Occultists still refer to the astral body as the invisible double, without remembering the term's original connotation of starlight. And did you say 1800 years the life of Jesus was 1 Ad to 34 ad and christianity was foun 34 ad which was like 2000 and something years ago so yeah wrong.

O/U all the way...but then again I shoot competition...I also have a Browning BPS pump I use for hunting. pictures?
sxs looks cool. pump is hands down more versatile.
I have no preference when it comes to pump or double, I have and use both. I have a Mossberg 500, 2 Remington 870s, a stevens springfield 5100, and an Armadeo Rossi Overland. All of them get used. Like a few others on here, I also have a soft spot for old bolt actions. The three I have are a Kessler model 30C, a Mossberg 185d, and 185k. The Mossbergs are my primary hunting shotguns, the Kessler is a secondary/occaisional use shotgun. It was bought due to it's ties to local history, It was made 2 miles from where I live during the 1950s. The company only made shotguns from 1950 to 1953 and then went bankrupt. The shotgun makes one heck of a conversation piece in the feild and at the gun club.
Is it better to do the right thing for the wrong reason, or to do the wrong thing for the right reason? If you do the wrong thing for the right reason, is it still the wrong thing? Si vis pacem para bellum. There are two ways of doing something. Right and again. If you can't be good, be great at it.
Double Barrels are classy but you better have a strong shoulder and a great shot if your bird hunting with it. My Best Friend started with a single shot Ithaca 12 gau 40 years ago and while it wasnt the most accurate, I wouldnt want to be downrange when he was shooting at you, he rarely needed to reload and brought down more deer with it than the rest of us with our pumps. I prefer my old Ithaca Featherlight, 2 different barrels, Light accurate and a second and third shot right behind #1 if I want it! Its all about choice, if you are a great shot and dont need 3 bullets quickly, nothing is sharper than a double barrel!
JOSHUA 24:15 As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
I have for home defense, a 20 gauge double barrel Coach Gun. I also have lever action 12 gauge that holds 7 rounds. I feel cozy with these babies.

Satellite navigation used to be something you would only find in expensive cars, but now with the availability of portable Sat Nav systems, more and more people are taking advantage of these intelligent little machines.
If you haven't got a Sat Nav system already then there are a number of reasons why you should invest in one.
- Keep getting lost? - Pretty straight forward really, but satellite navigation gives you clear directions to wherever you want to get to. Some even let you specify if you want the quickest route or the most scenic route! By getting you there in the shortest time it also means less harm to the environment and your wallet!
- Speeding? - Not that you should be speeding anyway…but this handy feature helps point out when you're are approaching a speed camera and tells you what speed you are supposed to be going so that you are fully aware.
- Hungry? - Satellite navigation can tell you where the nearest restaurants are! This is great when you are in a place you have never been before!
- Running low on petrol? – Satellite navigation systems know where the nearest garages are and can direct you to the closest one so you don't waste time (and the end of your petrol) trying to find one!
- Hate being stuck in traffic? – Some satellite navigation systems can be fed information such as where there is congestion and can then suggest routes to avoid it.
Satellite Navigation systems can be hired along with your car with Avis. You can do this by simply ticking the GPS request box during booking or by giving us a call!

Lots and lots of pretty 8 & 6mm agate rounds are combined with 3mm champagne cubic zirconia and 3mm calsilica with some dished up on sterling wafers. All are hand-wired to beautiful silver-filled chain. Citrine, lemon quartz and hot tangerine artisan lampwork beads (about 9 - 10mm) bring zest to the mix.
The agate stones are a swirl of soft aqua, peach and cream, much prettier than the camera portrays. Likewise, the lampwork beads are not as harsh and red as they appear. Overall, it's a pretty, zingy color combination that somehow fooled the camera into thinking it wasn't. Hopefully, I can find the right light for picking this color scheme up ....
The chain is a lightly oxidized, silver-filled, 5.5mm hammered cable style. A high quality look.
Pure fun and approximately 40 inches long.

How to Make a Cucumber Based Facial Mask
A cucumber mask must be one of the most basic and well loved facial treatments of all times. Cucumber hydrates, softens, soothes, cleanses, reduces swelling and a gift of God for oily or sunburned skin. Its cooling effect is great for treating any irritation of skin.
1Before applying any facial mask, clean your face and neck with water. Take off all cosmetics, creams, lotions, in short: everything. Use a mild soap if necessary.Ad
2When cleansing is finished, pat dry your face.
3Blend some fresh mint leaves.
4Peel the cucumber and either grate it or blend it.
5Take half egg white and beat it until it becomes frothy.
6Now mix all the ingredients well.
7Apply this mixture evenly on your face leaving out the delicate eye area and lips.
8Leave for about 25 minutes and then wash off with water and pat dry your skin.
9When you have applied the cucumber mask, make sure you take time to lie down and relax. Put two cucumber slices on your eyes, it will reduce any swelling of eyes and will help your dark circles.
10Apply refrigerated rosewater on your skin as 100% organic toner after removing the mask. It will help to close the pores.
11And in the last, apply your moisturizing gel or lotion depending on your skin type.
- This mask will leave your skin deep cleansed, supple and hydrated. It will also tighten your skin because of egg white in it.
We could really use your help!

Cezary Pietrzak | August 14, 2013 | Comments
Understanding the mindset and needs of mobile consumers isn't a choice - it's a necessity.
Since Google demoed its Glass API at SXSW in March, marketers have been abuzz about wearable technology. Small, wearable gadgets like glasses, watches, pedometers, fitness trackers, and sleeping monitors are appearing everywhere, leading some to call them the future of mobile. Given that most wearables have limited functionality, it may not be accurate to put them in the same ranks as smartphones and tablets. But the devices are inherently mobile as well as hands-free, which explains a lot of their appeal.
As wearables catch on - they are projected to reach 100 million devices by 2016 - marketers are debating which platform will take off the fastest. Will it be Google Glass, with its feature-rich platform but questionable fashion sensibility? Or more functional devices like the Pebble watch, Fitbit pedometer, or Jawbone Up wristband? It's probably too early to tell. Most likely, there will be several winners and many niche players, and even then it will take some time before marketers can actually access data from wearables to improve their mobile strategies.
But that does not mean marketers should dismiss this new trend. On the contrary, the growing popularity of wearables suggests they should evolve their thinking to place a larger emphasis on the consumer.
For all of the data that is accessible through a mobile device - people's location, when and how often they use an app, the number of purchases they make - we still lack some key information about their physical state and mindset, which is especially valuable for brands. Of course, we can make some inferences from the information we do have. Publishers have been doing this for years, selling emotionally driven personas to advertisers based on a limited set of data points ("active, mid-twenties athletic types who enjoy a new challenge"). But it's not the same as actually having access to this data and deriving specific insights from it.
Wearables open the doors to a much more granular understanding of people's behaviors through the myriad of instruments that measure physical change. For example, an altimeter can tell us when someone is in an elevator, flying in a plane, or climbing a mountain. Similarly, a health tracker can identify movement and stress levels, a microphone can detect noisy environments, and an air meter can differentiate between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Understanding these user states becomes very valuable when creating mobile marketing programs, because it eliminates any assumptions about an audience. For example, a fitness brand may send a targeted push notification to people who work out, rather than those who read fitness magazines. A music service may appeal to people who spend a lot of time in transit, narrowing its focus from those who simply enjoy music. And a pharma brand may only target people with high levels of stress, moving away from TV ads that target the broader population. In each of these situations, context drives a more relevant message, which is better for both the advertiser and the consumer.
Of course, physical lifestyle tracking is not a reality just yet. Wearable technology manufacturers still need to find their place in the mobile ecosystem and address the privacy concerns associated with sharing personal data. But judging by how quickly the market has developed, it doesn't seem very far off. Only a year ago, Target used predictive analytics to determine a girl was pregnant even before her father found out.
So what can marketers learn from wearable technology? That understanding the mindset and needs of mobile consumers isn't a choice - it's a necessity. As small, wearable devices go mainstream, data about people's behaviors will become more abundant and more accessible, opening the doors to more personal marketing experiences.
Sure, marketers can ignore this trend and keep sending people unwelcome push notifications or serving mobile ads with little context, but that will only secure them short-term engagement. The better route is to embrace wearable technology and the customer-centric thinking it promotes. In doing so, they'll create more effective marketing programs and build long-term relationships with their customers.

This Hello Kitty decal set for the DS Lite has a lot going on. There's the obvious Kitty, outlined in a rhinestone-like pattern, and the "Hello Kitty" name, just as we'd expect from a Hello Kitty-branded product.
But everywhere there's not Kitty, there are flowers and butterflies. Every area of vinyl that can have a flower on it has a flower on it. We haven't tested this theory, but we're pretty sure it would confuse and irritate our real cats. This is quite a divergence from the last batch of Hello Kitty skins we saw, which were quite nicely designed!

Psychoacoustic Evaluation of a New Method for Simulating Near-field Virtual Auditory Space
A new method for generating near-field virtual auditory space (VAS) is presented. This method synthesizes near-field head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) based on a distance variation function (DVF). Using a sound localization experiment, the fidelity of the near-field VAS generated using this technique is compared to that obtained using near-field HRTFs synthesized using a multipole expansion of a set of HRTFs interpolated using a spherical thin-plate spline. Individualized HRTFs for varying distances in the near-field were synthesized using the subjects' HRTFs measured at a radius of 1m for a limited number of locations around the listener's head. Both methods yielded similar localization performance showing no major directional localization errors and reasonable correlation between perceived and target distances of sounds up to 50cm from the centre of the subjects head. Also, subjects tended to overestimate the target distance for both methods.
