Question 1:
When we place a gas cylinder on a van and the van moves, does the kinetic energy of the molecules increase? Does the temperature increase?
No, kinetic energy of the molecules does not increase. This is because velocity of the molecules does not increase with respect to the walls of the gas cylinder, when the cylinder is kept in a vehicle moving with a uniform motion. However, if the vehicle is accelerated or decelerated, then there will be a change in the gas's kinetic energy and there will be a rise in the temperature.

Question 2:
While gas from a cooking gas cylinder is used, the pressure does not fall appreciably till the last few minutes. Why?
Inside a cooking gas cylinder, the gas is kept in the liquid state using high pressure. Boiling point of a liquid depends on the pressure above its surface. Higher the pressure above the liquid, higher will be its boiling point.
When the gas oven is switched on, the vapour pressure inside the cylinder decreases. To compensate this fall in pressure, more liquid undergoes phase transition (vapourisation) to build up the earlier pressure. In this way, more and more gas evaporates from the liquified state at constant pressure.
Page No 32:
Question 3:
Do you expect the gas in a cooking gas cylinder to obey the ideal gas equation?
No, the gas won't obey ideal gas equation due to the following reasons:
1. In a cooking gas cylinder, the gas is kept at high pressure and at room temperature. Real gases behave ideally only at low pressure and high temperature.
2. Cooking gas is kept in liquid state inside the cylinder becaue liquid state does not obey the ideal gas equation.

Question 4:
Can we define the temperature of (a) vacuum, (b) a single molecule?
(a) Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of he partciles. In a vacuum, devoid of any electromagnetic fields and molecules or entities, the temperature cannot be defined as there are no molecules or atoms or entities.
(b) No, we cannot define temperature of a single molecule. Since temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles, it is defined only statistically for a large collection of molecules.
Page No 32:
Question 5:
Comment on the following statement: the temperature of all the molecules in a sample of a gas is the same.
Yes, at equilibrium all the molecules in a sample of gas have the same temperature. This is because temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy for all the molecules in a system. Since all the molecules have the same average, temperature will be the same for all the molecules.

Question 6:
Consider a gas of neutrons. Do you expect it to behave much better as an ideal gas as compared to hydrogen gas at the same pressure and temperature?
Yes, according to the postulates of kinetic theory, a gas of neutrons will be a better ideal gas than hydrogen. The reasons are given below:
1. As per the Kinetic theory, neutrons do not interact with each othe. Molecules of an ideal gas should also not interact with each other. On the other hand, hydrogen molecules interact with each other owing to the presence of charges in them.
2. Neutrons are smaller than hydrogen. This fulfils another kinetic theory postulate that gas molecules should be points and should have negligible size.

Question 7:
A gas is kept in a rigid cubical container. If a load of 10 kg is put on the top of the container, does the pressure increase?
No, the pressure on gas won't increase because of this. The pressure will not be transferred to the gas, but to the container and to the ground.
Page No 32:
Question 8:
If it were possible for a gas in a container to reach the temperature 0 K, its pressure would be zero. Would the molecules not collide with the walls? Would they not transfer momentum to the walls?
Since the pressure would be zero, the molecules would not collide with the walls and would not transfer momentum to the walls. This is because pressure of a gas is formed due to the molecule's collision with the walls of the container.
Page No 32:
Question 9:
It is said that the assumptions of kinetic theory are good for gases having low densities. Suppose a container is so evacuated that only one molecule is left in it. Which of the assumptions of kinetic theory will not be valid for such a situation? Can we assign a temperature to this gas?
Two postulates of kinetic theory will not be valid in this case. These are given below:
1. All gases are made up of molecules moving randomly in all directions
2. When a gas is left for a sufficient time, it comes to a steady state. The density and the distribution of molecules with different velocities are independent of position, direction and time.

Question 10:
A gas is kept in an enclosure. The pressure of the gas is reduced by pumping out some gas. Will the temperature of the gas decrease by Charles's low?
If the gas is ideal, there will be no temperature change. Moreover, Charles's law relates volume with temperature not pressure with temperature, so the cause behind the phenomena cannot be explained by Charles's law.

Question 11:
Explain why cooking is faster in a pressure cooker.
In a pressure cooker, the vapour pressure over the water surface is more than the atmospheric pressure. This means boiling point of the water will be higher in the pressure cooker than in the open. This will let the cereals and food to be cooked in higher temperature than at 1000C,. Thus, cooking process gets faster.
Page No 32:
Question 12:
If the molecules were not allowed to collide among themselves, would you expect more evaporation or less evaporation?
If the molecules are not allowed to collide with each other, they will have long mean free paths and hence, evaporation will be faster. In vacuum, the external pressure will be very low. So, the liquid will boil and evaporate at very low temperature.
Page No 32:
Question 13:
Is it possible to boil water at room temperature, say 30°C? If we touch a flask containing water boiling at this temperature, will it be hot?
Yes, it is possible to boil water at 300C by reducing the external pressure. A liquid boils when its vapour pressure equals external pressure. By lowering the external pressure, it is possible to boil the liquid at low temperatures.
No, the flask containing water boiling at 300C will not be hot.
Page No 32:
Question 14:
When you come out of a river after a dip, you feel cold. Explain.
After a dip in the river, the water that sticks to our body gets evaporated. We know that evaporation takes place faster for higher temperatures. Thus, the molecules that have the highest kinetic energy leave faster and that is how heat is given away from our body.
As a result of it, temperature of our body falls down due to loss of heat and we feel cold.

Question 1:
Which of the following parameters is the same for molecules of all gases at a given temperature?
(a) Mass
(b) Speed
(c) Momentum
(d) Kinetic energy.
(d) Kinetic energy.
Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample. Average is same for all the molecules of the sample. So, kinetic energy is the same for all.
Hence, correct answer is (d).
Page No 33:
Question 2:
A gas behaves more closely as an ideal gas at
(a) low pressure and low temperature
(b) low pressure and high temperature
(c) high pressure and low temperature
(d) high pressure and high temperature.
At low pressure, the concentration of gas molecules is very low. Hence, the kinetic assumption that the size of the molecules can be neglected compared to the volume of the container applies.
At high temperature, molecules move very fast. So, they tend to collide elastically and forces of interaction between the molecules minimise. This is the required idea condition.
Thus, (b) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Question 3:
The pressure of an ideal gas is written as . Here E refers to
(a) translational kinetic energy
(b) rotational kinetic energy
(c) vibrational kinetic energy
(d) total kinetic energy.
According to the kinetic theory, molecules show straight line in motion (translational). So, the kinetic energy is essentially transitional.

Page No 33:
Question 4:
The energy of a given sample of an ideal gas depends only on its
(a) volume
(b) pressure
(c) density
(d) temperature.
Temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its kinetic energy. Thus, energy of an ideal gas depends only on its temperature.
Thus, (d) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Question 5:
Which of the following gases has maximum rms speed at a given temperature?
(a) hydrogen
(b) nitrogen
(c) oxygen
(d) carbon dioxide.
The rms speed of a gas is given by .
Since hydrogen has the lowest Mo compared to other molecules, it will have the highest rms speed.
Thus, (a) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Question 6:
Figure shows graphs of pressure vs density for an ideal gas at two temperatures T1 and T2.
(a) T1 > T2
(b) T1 = T2
(c) T1 < T2
(d) Any of the three is possible.
The straight line T1 has greater slope than T2. This means ratio is greater for T1 than T2. Now, rms velocity of a gas is given by . This means rms velocity of gas with T1 molecules is greater than T2 molecules. Again, gas with higher temperature has higher rms velocity.
So, T1 > T2.
Thus, (a) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Question 7:
The mean square speed of the molecules of a gas at absolute temperature T is proportional to
(c) T
(d) T2.
Root mean squared velocity is given by

Question 8:
Suppose a container is evacuated to leave just one molecule of a gas in it. Let va and vrms represent the average speed and the rms speed of the gas.
(a) va > vrms
(b) va < vrms
(c) va = vrms
(d) vrms is undefined.
Speed is constant and same for a single molecule. Thus, rms speed will be equal to its average speed.
Thus, (c) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Question 9:
The rms speed of oxygen at room temperature is about 500 m/s. The rms speed of hydrogen at the same temperature is about
(a) 125 m s−1
(b) 2000 m s−1
(c) 8000 m s−1
(d) 31 m s−1.
(b) 2000 ms−1
Molecular mass of hydrogen, MH = 2
Molecular mass of oxygen, Mo = 32
RMS speed is given by,
Hence, the correct answer is (b).

(a) 100 kPa
(b) 200 kPa
(c) 400 kPa
(d) 800 kPa.
Let the number of moles in the gas be n.
Applying equation of state, we get
=100 kPa
Thus, (a) is the correct answer.

The rms speed of oxygen molecules in a gas is v. If the temperature is doubled and the oxygen molecules dissociate into oxygen atoms, the rms speed will become
(a) v

Question 12:
The quantity represents
(a) mass of the gas
(b) kinetic energy of the gas

(a) isothermal
(b) isobaric
(c) isochoric
(d) none of these.
According to the graph, P is directly proportional to T.
Applying the equation of state, we get
PV = nRT
Constant V implies the process is isochoric.
Thus, (c) is the correct answer.

Question 14:
There is some liquid in a closed bottle. The amount of liquid is continuously decreasing. The vapour in the remaining part
(a) must be saturated
(b) must be unsaturated
(c) may be saturated
(d) there will be no vapour.
As the liquid is decreasing, the liquid is vapourised. We know that vapourisation cannot occur in saturated air and there cannot be any liquid with no vapour at all. So, the vapour in the remaining part is unsaturated.
Thus, (b) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Question 15:
There is some liquid in a closed bottle. The amount of liquid remains constant as time passes. The vapour in the remaining part
(a) must be saturated
(b) must be unsaturated
(c) may be unsaturated
(d) there will be no vapour.
Since the amount of liquid is constant, there is no vapourisation of the liquid inside the bottle. Also, since there cannot be a liquid with no vapours at all and vapourisation cannot take place in the remaining saturated part, the remaining part must be saturated with the vapours of the liquid.
Thus, (a) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Question 16:
Vapour is injected at a uniform rate in a closed vessel which was initially evacuated. The pressure in the vessel
(a) increases continuously
(b) decreases continuously
(c) first increases and then decreases
(d) first increases and then becomes constant.
As the vapour is injected, the pressure of the chamber increases. But when the pressure becomes equal to the saturated vapour pressure, it condenses. So, if more vapour is injected beyond the saturated vapour pressure, the vapour will condense and thus the vapour pressure will be constant.
Thus, (d) is the correct answer.
Page No 33:
Question 17:
A vessel A has volume V and a vessel B has volume 2V. Both contain some water which has a constant volume. The pressure in the space above water is pa for vessel A and pb for vessel B.
(a) pa = pb
(b) pa = 2pb
(c) pb = 2pa
(d) pb = 4pa
The maximum pressure attainable above the water will be saturated vapour pressure at that temperature. Since saturated vapour pressure does not depend upon volume, both the vessels will have same pressure.
Thus, (a) is the correct answer.

(b) The kinetic energies of both the molecules decrease.
(c) kinetic energy of the oxygen molecule increases and that of the hydrogen molecule decreases.
(d) The kinetic energy of the hydrogen molecule increases and that of the oxygen molecule decreases.
According to Kinetic theory, postulates collision between molecules are elastic. This means that kinetic energy after any collision is conserved because while one one gains kinetic energy, another loses it. Both options, (c) and (d) consider the conservation of kinetic energy in the collision.
Thus, (c) and (d) are correct answers.
Page No 34:
Question 2:
Consider a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen kept at room temperature. As compared to a hydrogen molecule an oxygen molecule hits the wall
(a) with greater average speed
(b) with smaller average speed
(c) with greater average kinetic energy
(d) with smaller average kinetic energy.
The average speed of molecules is given by . We observe that greater the mass, lesser is the average speed of the molecule. Since an oxygen molecule is heavier than a hydrogen molecule, the oxygen molecule will hit the wall with smaller average speed.
Thus, (b) is the correct answer.

Question 3:
Which of the following quantities is zero on an average for the molecules of an ideal gas in equilibrium?
(a) Kinetic energy
(b) Momentum
(c) Density
(d) Speed.
The molecules move in all possible directions in an ideal gas at equilibrium. Since momentum is a vector quantity for every direction of motion of the molecules, there exists an opposite direction of motion of the other. Hence, the average momentum is zero for an ideal gas at equilibrium.
Thus, (b) is the correct answer.

Question 4:
Keeping the number of moles, volume and temperature the same, which of the following are the same for all ideal gases?
(a) Rms speed of a molecule
(b) Density
(c) Pressure
(d) Average magnitude of momentum.
Pressure of an ideal gas is given by PV = . We know that pressure depends on volume, number of molecules and root mean square velocity. Also, root mean square velocity depends on the temperature of the gas. Since the number of molecules, volume and temperature are constant, pressure of the gas will not change.
Thus, (c) is the correct answer.
Page No 34:
Question 5:
The average momentum of a molecule in a sample of an ideal gas depends on
(a) temperature
(b) number of moles
(c) volume
(d) none of these.
Average momentum of a gas sample is zero, so it does not depend upon any of these parameters.
Thus, (d) is the correct answer.

Question 6:
Which of the following quantities is the same for all ideal gases at the same temperature?
(a) The kinetic energy of 1 mole
(b) The kinetic energy of 1 g
(c) The number of molecules in 1 mole
(d) The number of molecules in 1 g
(a) The kinetic energy of 1 mole
(c) The number of molecules in 1 mole
Kinetic energy per mole of an ideal gas is directly proportional to T. So, it will be the same for all ideal gases.
Number of molecules in 1 mole of an ideal is the same for all ideal gases because ideal gases obey Avogadro's law.
Thus, (a) and (c) are correct answers.

I am beginning my search for my ancestry.My Aunt once did a complete project in the 1960's as part of a school project, but the teacher threw it out.Bummer.Anyway this is what I have:
Father - Guy Lambert Qualls (b.1955Idaho d.1994Texas)
Grandfather - James Richard Qualls (b.1917Idaho - d.1989Idaho)Interesting fact, his twin was Matthew Qualls d.WW2Europe)
Great Grandfather - O.C. Qualls (b.?.? - d.aprox 1970 in Idaho)
I have heard that my lineage has Cherokee & Nez Perce tribe influence.Also George Washington lineage.I am most interested in finding if the tribal lineage is true, how far, what tribes, etc.Also if the Washington connection is true.I have heard of Qualls connections in Oklahoma (reservations) and possibly near Lousianna, Kentucky?Just at a loss.Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks - mac

Yes, that is me, The Rookie Dad. Doing what dads Today do. That is being a dad! And carrying around my man purse… yeah that is right I said it… my man purse, AKA diaper bag.
I love being a part-time stay-at-home-dad. I would not trade the time that I get to spend with the Rookie on my days off work for anything in the world. I can already feel the bond that the two of us have built. It feels as if that bond is stronger than any sort of glue that you could find.
I believe that bond has turned me into what I like to call the "Modern" dad. TV and movies have given dad's a persona that we are uninvolved, uncaring, beer-drinking idiots. Those are not true, with the exception of the beer drinking part. The Modern Dad does exactly what I am doing in the picture, being a dad to my child.
I am the type of dad that is involved and active in the Rookie's life, I always will be. I am not going to sit idly by as he grows up into a man. I want to be there to teach him the type of man that he should be. We are all aware of the studies that dads who are involved in their child's life give their child a better opportunity to succeed in school and stay away from drugs.
I hope to change the way that people look at dads. I keep getting looks from people when I am out alone with the Kid at Wal-Mart, Target, out running, or where ever I am, as if I am being looked at like I do not know what I am doing. I hate to say it but I do, and there are more dads out there like me who are proving the stereotype wrong. Next time you see a dad who is involved or you see a dad who is struggling to take care of their child give them a hand and tell the dad that you are glad to see them involved. Slowly but surely we can change how dads are perceived!

(CBS News) FORT COLLINS Colo. - Colorado's governor has declared a disaster in the monster wildfire east of Fort Collins.
The blaze has killed one person and destroyed more than 43,000 acres since Saturday.
The wind-driven High Park fire has been highly aggressive.
The disaster declaration frees up $20 million from the state's disaster relief fund, but the cost of fighting the fire has already hit $3 million.
There have been some new evacuation orders issued, but some residents have been allowed back to their homes, which are now out of danger.
Firefighters have been pouring in. Some 600 camped out at one staging area, and the number was to swell to 800 by the weekend.
They need a hand from Mother Nature in the form of cool weather and calm winds.
Smoke from wildfire 60 miles away blankets Denver
Budget cuts strain efforts to fight large Western fires
Massive, fast-moving Colo. wildfire now a killer
And across the Fort Collins area, there was a helping hand of another kind: donations at the local Ft Collins Salvation Army.
Jennifer Oliver, a resident of Larimer County, went shopping so she could help evacuees.
"If you don't have ... basic necessities, it really could put a damper on your mentality. ... You don't want to be camping (chuckle) for days and days without these things."
She also brought her daughters for a lesson in helping others - three-year-old Adrienne and five year old Madilynn, who's learned a very grown up thing or two about fires.
She says the situation is "not good. Because it will burn down people and maybe it could kill somebody."
Officials say it'll probably be fall before these fires are completely contained.

Calling all Star Wars Fans
Calling all Star Wars fans: Nutanix, the intergalactic leader in hyperconverged infrastructure, and Data Solutions, the leading Irish IT solutions distributor, will host a premiere of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on 15th December in Rathmines Omniplex. The event is open to IT professionals and is free to attend.
Attendees will be among the first in Ireland to see Rogue One, the newest addition to the Star Wars franchise. The film follows an unlikely group of heroes as they plan to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's weapon of mass destruction. The screening will be preceded by a short presentation on how Data Solutions and Nutanix are working together to usher in a new era of invisible infrastructure.
The Nutanix platform natively integrates server, storage and virtualisation and radically simplifies the server stack in a single, space-saving solution. The company's Xpress system, which was launched earlier this year, can power five to 500 virtual machines with proven performance and reliability, allowing small IT teams to more easily support all infrastructure needs.
This event is a must-attend for Star Wars fans, and those who feel that their traditional IT infrastructure is holding them back. Those interested in attending can register using their corporate email address.
Movie snacks will be provided to all attendees. Registration is now open athttp://bit.ly/2h1L9Ga.

Live! is Catch 22's first full-length live release, although fan-recorded live tracks were bonus features on several previous albums. Roughly a third of the album is devoted to Keasbey Nights, another third to Alone in a Crowd, and the remainder to Dinosaur Sounds. A bonus DVD includes footage from the concert, as well as a variety of extras. However, former frontman Tomas Kalnoky is conspicuously absent from the footage of the band's early days.
Live is an album by The Dubliners recorded live at the Fiesta Club,Sheffield and released on the Polydor label in 1974. This was to be Ronnie Drew's last recording with The Dubliners for five years as he left to pursue a solo career. Also following this album, Ciarán Bourke ceased to be a full-time member of the group when he suffered a brain hemorrhage. He sings "All for Me Grog" here. The reels that open this album (and which first were released on the group's 1967 studio album A Drop of the Hard Stuff) have become the opening instrumental medley at most of their concerts since.
Side One:
Side Two:
Live is Jake Shimabukuro's 2009 solo album. It was released in April 2009, and consists of live in-concert performances from various venues around the world, including New York, Chicago, Japan, and Hawaii.
Live peaked at number 5 in Billboard's Top World Music Albums in 2009 and 2010. The album won the 2010 Na Hoku Hanohano Award for Instrumental Album of the Year, and also garnered Shimabukuro the award for Favorite Entertainer of the Year. In addition, it won the 2010 Hawaii Music Award for Best Ukulele Album.
AllMusic noted that, "Shimabukuro is a monster musician and boldly takes the ukulele where no ukulele has ever gone before, dazzling listeners with his blinding speed, melodic invention, and open-ended improvisations of remarkable virtuosity. Before Shimabukuro, the idea of spending an evening listing to a solo ukulele player was probably most people's idea of hell, but the 17 solo efforts here never bore. They show Shimabukuro's range and his humor as well."
Free is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Free is an album by jazz bassist Marcus Miller, released in 2007.
The album's title track is a cover of the 1977 Deniece Williams song. UK soul singer Corinne Bailey Rae provided lead vocals. "Higher Ground" is a song originally recorded by Stevie Wonder, and "What Is Hip" was originally performed by Tower of Power. "Jean Pierre" was originally performed by Miles Davis (On "We Want Miles", 1982). Blues singer Keb' Mo' performs lead vocals and co-wrote with Marcus Miller the track entitled "Milky Way".
The album's US version has not only a new title, Marcus, but the tracks have been remixed/recut. Four additional tracks have been added to the album as well.
All tracks produced by Marcus Miller and David Isaac.
Free is the fourth album and first live recording from American contemporary gospel singer Kierra Sheard. It was released 18 October 2011 by Karew Records.
"Kierra Sheard's Free features a mix of studio and live-in-Chicago material with a full band and her BRL Choir, all produced by her brother, J. Drew Sheard II. It's Sheard's boldest and most diverse album yet. There are the expected modern contemporary gospel sounds, while a few songs incorporate other styles, including pop-R&B (à la Bold Right Life's "Wave Your Banner"), dance-pop, and even hard rock, with remarkable ease and power. This would not be so effective if Sheard wasn't in top, hefty-yet-flexible form." - Andy Kellman, AllMusic
Looking for the right kind of live free or die...
I want to see your smile through a pay phone
The season has changed
I want to see you in it
The lights that shine are caustic without you.
When we're all passed over
The rhythm of the river will remain
And it will remain
Nicotine and waiting
Just wanted to keep it alive
You turn and before you know it
We're just threading this needle for life
A brighter way is what you prove
Anesthetize is what you do.
When we're all passed over
The rhythm of the river will remain
And it will remain
Someday we'll be together
Farther south than the train line
The Delta mud will be there
We're just living this way
Because we know no other
When we're all passed over
The rhythm of the river will remain
And it will remain

Google will stop showing authors' Google+ profile pics and circle counts in search results
Authorship in Google search results is one of the primary reasons that many in the media are on Google+. The ability to put your name and face next to articles that you wrote — as shown below — is seen as an opportunity to get more traffic from search results.
Not for much longer. Google is removing images from authorship, though search results will still include the name of the author and a link to their Google+ profile. Another detail being removed is the number of circles an author is in, Search Engine Land notes — perhaps because it is an indicator few writers use Google+?
Google's Webmaster Trends analyst John Mueller says tests showed the change improved click-through rates. That's quite the statement, since it contradicts Google's original thinking — only time will tell if it rings true for publishers.

Summary: Tools & Materials Shopping List for Plumbing and Masonry
Author: Art Ludwig, published by Oasis Design. 2004. 8.5x11, 6 pages, 57 figures, black & white, 136K download. $4.95 -NOTE: this is a beta version; drawings are pencil sketches, layout is not polished and it is not exhaustive. That being said, its the best we've seen in this otherwise empty niche.
|$4.95 Black & white download
This is a download list of common plumbing and masonry tools and components, in English, Spanish and pictures. It includes use tips (how to make good joints in PVC and galvanized, for example), and doubles as a shopping list for hardware store runs, which was the use for which it was originally developed.
It is in both PDF and editable MS-Word formats. A great use for a list like this (even if you don't need the Spanish) is having a consciously limited set of plumbing sizes and materials to deal with. For example, in Maruata, I'm steering us towards use of 1/2", 1" and 2" sizes, and carefully avoiding 3/4", 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" sizes. This greatly reduces the amount of inventory we need to keep on hand, and increases the likelihood that we'll have the right part amongst a smaller store of stuff.
You can download files (or have them e mailed to you) immediately after processing your order.
All files have a 30 day unconditional money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the file for any reason, just let us know and your credit charge will be refunded in full (there is no shipping/handling on files).

- Format: 3DS
- Unleashed: Out Now
- Publisher: Atlus/Reef Entertainment
- Developer: Atlus
- Players: 1
- Site: http://www.atlus.com/devilsurvivor2rb/
- Game code provided by the publisher
Shin Megami Tensei, SMT, MegaTen, Dave… the series is known by multiple handles (though maybe not that fourth one); but whatever you call it, it's evolved over the last few decades from Japanese-exclusive curio to worldwide cult classic. If you've yet to experience an SMT game, Record Breaker seems like a perfect place to start. It has not only tinkered with the DS game Devil Survivor 2 in an attempt to bring it in line with the gaming world of 2015, it also throws a fully-fledged sequel into the package as a generous bonus. While this is a fantastic collection for existing fans, its appeal for newbies is debatable.
Even if you've never played a MegaTen (look, we're using all of them) game, you may well have heard it discussed in the same breath as Persona. The two series are mostly similar in concept rather than execution though, so let's just say they're both turn-based JRPGS with a heavy emphasis on stories involving high school students. The story of Devil Survivor 2 is an interesting and generally well-written one. There's a rumour doing the rounds of your mute protagonist's high school (stop us if you've heard this one before…) that if you sign up to a particular website, you'll get to see videos showing how your friends will die. The rumour is true, but it gets weirder. Pretty soon demons of unknown origin are killing people and wreaking havoc, and even larger and stronger creatures start appearing too. It's up to you and your friends to save the day via a demon summoning app on your phones (yup) which allows you to command beasties of your own.
Lingering on the story a little longer – as it's really the heart of the game – the included sequel is fully voiced, and DS2 now is as well. The acting is good enough to help the story along, and special credit must go to your friend Daichi's actor. He sounds like he's having a great time, which he probably is, which is likely why his performance is far and away the best. On the other end of the scale, Io's actress's performance is easily the weakest, and unfortunately she's a major character too. This seems mostly down to the nature of the character. She's supposed to be constantly timid and nervous but, especially given how everybody else (both male and female) adapts to the situation, she usually just comes off as annoying and with an almost non-existent emotional range. There are plenty of witty lines in the script – some of them laugh-out-loud funny – but none of them given to poor Io.
As previously mentioned, combat is turn-based. The original DS release saw a system that already looked out of date six years ago, and… things haven't really changed here, unfortunately. It uses the sort of rock-paper-scissors system of strengths and weaknesses that has served turn-based RPGS well for decades, and there's nothing wrong in that. The problem is that very little is done to even try to hide the dry number-crunching and elements of randomness, and as such it's a love-it-or-hate-it system. In combat your enemies appear as static cardboard cut-outs, though they might change colour or wobble about a bit while attacking or being attacked. You and your demon buddies don't appear at all – unless you count the Twitter-avatar-style pictures and stat numbers at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes, whether your attack hits or misses seems to be entirely down to chance – because sometimes it is.
Despite the introduction of a new (easier) difficulty, this game growls at those unfamiliar with the series, and positively mauls anybody unfamiliar with the genre. About two thirds of the way through the (main) story, the difficulty suddenly skyrockets. Without warning, you are punished if you've failed to grind in optional battles and/or if you haven't chosen, bought, fused, and managed your demons very carefully. Not to mention if you haven't given very careful consideration to how you've levelled up your human character, and when and how you've deployed his or her human friends in battles. The easier difficulty does at least let you save in the middle of a battle and repeat one if you die, keeping your XP and abilities; though this simply kicks off a joyless Groundhog Day scenario where you try different tactics until realising the reason you finally won is simply because you levelled up sufficiently.
You're advised to complete the main game before trying the new story. The second follows immediately after the ending of the first but this isn't, in truth, the main reason for playing in chronological order. If you make it out of the other end of the main game alive, you will have learned the systems (if you needed to) through trial by fire, with a much better understanding of how everything works. You'll need this for the new story as it's even harder, and completely ignores your level, abilities etc. from the main game. You start again from scratch, and you can find yourself in trouble as early on as the second fight.
If you played and loved Devil Survivor 2 the first time around – and many people did – then you absolutely need to buy Record Breaker. If you're unfamiliar with Shin Megami Tensei, then be aware that the less familiar you are with turn-based JRPGs, the harder this will be for you to get into. The compelling story is a great reward for those with the experience or patience to get maximum benefits from demon management and to overcome the battles; but you need to think carefully about whether one of those people is you.

This is an extraordinary descriptive essay written by Nur Adlina. Nur Adlina is a Secondary 3 Express student who we taught our descriptive writing technique only this year. Prior to this, we taught her how to writing the first two paragraphs in the Bahagian Pengenalan when she was in Secondary 2 to expose her to some elements in our descriptive writing technique. So, this essay is her first attempt at writing a descriptive essay after learning the technique. And all praise to God, what a great essay she wrote!
We gave 39/40 for this amazing essay, and this is why:
So how do we teach our descriptive writing technique?
Firstly, our Secondary 3 students were taught some elements of our technique when they were in Secondary 2. However, their competent level is still at intermediate level as they were not taught the whole technique, and as such, could not see and appreciate how the elements taught connect and support other elements in the technique to form a complete descriptive essay.
We did this on purpose as we felt that the students were not ready to learn our descriptive writing technique at Secondary 2. However, exposure to certain elements of the technique in Secondary 2 put them in a stronger position to learn the technique in Secondary 3.
Secondly, every Secondary 3 students were given a copy of our book Contoh Karangan Untuk Persiapan Peringkat O. The book becomes a required text and a central piece in our teaching of the technique.
Our Teaching Approaches:
We adopted a back and forth approach between (a) explicitly focused on illustrating the different elements in the technique as well as (b) monitor and provide feedback of student's demonstration of learning. This we carried out over three cycles.
The first cycle
We chose a descriptive essay from our book and familiarized our students the descriptive essay structure found on page 8 in the book by highlighting the specifics found in every paragraphs on the descriptive essay. We explained the 'why and how's the specifics play an important role in each paragraph and across all paragraphs to form a complete and a coherent descriptive essay.
Next, we engaged students to highlight these specifics in another descriptive essay we chose from our book. They would then take turn to explain the 'why and how's the specifics work together to present a descriptive essay that meets the expectation of the question. As students presented their explanations, we queried students with probing questions to seek gaps in understanding and addressed them.
The second cycle
We chose a descriptive question and engage students to demonstrate their learning by writing an descriptive essay. We chose a descriptive question from the November 2018 O Level Paper 1 for Malay language.
Kamu menyangka bahawa ibu bapa kamu akan memarahi kamu disebabkan oleh sesuatu perkara yang telah kamu lakukan. Namun, setelah memberitahu ibu bapa kamu kedudukan perkara yang sebenarnya, mereka tidak memarahi kamu. Gambarkan kejadian itu dan pengalaman yang kamu perolehi daripada kejadian tersebut.
We used flipped classroom pedagogy for this activity. In this activity, students submitted paragraph by paragraph of their 5-paragraph essays every lesson in a specially created Padlet website. In the Padlet website we embedded short video guides that illustrated students how to write each paragraph correctly. The video guides reinforced what students have already learnt in the first cycle activity.
Teachers may ask how can they access these video guides.
Well, the video guides are available in the password-protected spaces in this website. We provide teachers who have attended our workshops before with the passwords to access these spaces. Now, we provide these passwords also to teachers who use our books to help them teach our writing techniques to their students better.
We selected and read a few students' paragraphs in each lesson for feedback. In our feedback, we highlighted common mistakes that students generally made so that our comments were applicable and useful to all students, even those whom we did not read their paragraphs for feedback.
The third cycle
We carry out the the third cycle when we feel the need to remediate if learning gaps continue to exist and are evident from student's paragraphs. When this happens we will select the specific paragraph(s) and demonstrate how we would write it ourselves onto the whiteboard for all to see. We will talk aloud or verbalize loudly every decision we took when writing every single line. In this way students will understand the rational behind every moves we took when writing the paragraph(s).
The pedagogy for this approach is called Cognitive Apprenticeship. Cognitive Apprenticeship is a theory that attempts to bring tacit processes out in the open. It assumes that people learn from one another, through observation, imitation and modeling. In our case we use modeling and talk our thought process aloud to demonstrate to students the tacit process when writing every paragraph of a descriptive essay.
We have received a query from a teacher asking if we will be organizing any workshop for teachers in the future. We have a workshop coming up in May but it is for trainee teachers. However, with the coming March holidays, we welcome any school who would like to invite us to hold a workshop for teachers who are using our writing techniques when teaching descriptive, expository and/or narrative writing. We propose a Q&A format workshop where participants come with a list if questions seeking clarification about our writing techniques and how to teach them better.
If you are keen to hold the workshop in your school this March holidays, let us know and we will help promote the workshop via our website. We suggest the workshop should be open to teachers who are already using our writing techniques so that they have some prior knowledge before attending the workshop. In this way, they will enjoy tremendous benefits from the workshop, if God wills.

IHG Academy Frontier Programme
IHG Academy Frontier Programme
In March of 2016, four eager, young, passionate, Chinese IHG Academy students boarded an airplane bound for the Maldives. These four participants had been selected to spend the next six months gaining work experience and building their skills at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives. There, they would work across a variety of operational roles including F&B service, front desk, and guest services - the IHG Academy Frontier Programme.
Above left to right: Shabeen (from front office Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives), Candy, Felicia, Alicia, Adrian, Bandula (from front office Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives), and Regina start a fresh day in the lobby
Where are they now?
The first four participants all had a wonderful time and have since come back to China to continue their journey with local IHG hotels. They shared that their highlights included; the international colleagues and guests they met, new friendships made, the beautiful new country they experienced, hospitality skills they honed, English language skills refined, confidence gained and lifelong memories they created.
Candy, one of the four interns, is now working in InterContinental Shanghai NECC as a sales coordinator.
"During the 6 months, I rotated around the front desk, call centre, and reservation departments. For me, the most satisfying moments during my internship in the Maldives were when I helped check-in guests from China, giving them a bit of familiarity even though they were thousands of miles away from home. I also helped guests plan for a perfect honeymoon. This experience gave me confidence that I do indeed want to work in the hotel industry after graduation. I also gained a much deeper understanding of what it means to serve guests with passion and positivity."
Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives has since taken in a second batch of six Chinese IHG Academy interns who began their programme in October, 2016.
InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort joins the programme
After seeing the success of the IHG Academy Frontier Programme in the Maldives, the InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort also decided to get on board. Ann, Healthy and Gerry arrived in Mauritius last October to commence their six-month programme.
Healthy, is working in Guest Relations:
"This department is such an important part of the Front Office. Our team is made up of colleagues from all over the world. We have Germans, Indians, Mauritians, and now, me from China! I've made meaningful friendships and I really enjoy working together with my colleagues. InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort is such a great platform for me to practice my English communication skills. It's an honour to deliver service to guests from China and all around the world. I am very much looking forward to spending the next few months here."
Michael Janssen, General Manager of InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort, also feels positive about this great opportunity to share international talent.
"Since they came here, these three IHG Academy interns have been contributing a lot to the guest experience in the front office and food & beverage outlets for our Chinese guests. At the same time, we invest in helping them to develop their attitude, skills, and knowledge. I am so pleased with this IHG Academy Frontier Program that I've already told the Senior Manager for the IHG Academy, Greater China, that I need even more Chinese IHG Academy interns next year! These first batch have really proven their value."

I only scratched the surface of what's available. At the most fundamental level, RightScale is a configuration and monitoring dashboard for controlling servers and images on Amazon's EC2. This was some pretty cool stuff here: Sitting at my laptop in my office, I was able to remotely control a set of virtual servers that live on Amazon's cloud.
In the past, companies had to either build their own huge operations centers to house all their hardware, or they had to outsource it to a company that housed all of it, the latter of which required the companies to pay high prices not only for using the hardware, but also to make sure somebody was there to configure it, run it and monitor it.
With a product like RightScale, now programmers can manage the servers themselves as they would if they owned them, except now the servers have the extreme power of being on Amazon.com's cloud. Sitting at my lowly little laptop, I can run the equivalent of an entire operations center. Think of the possibilities.

Kevin Howe is a scrambler, much like the watermelon, pumpkin and squash vines that he tends. Along with his two older brothers, Ryan and Rick, he's a reliable supplier to major retailers of interesting cucurbits: super small-seeded watermelon, canary melon and Caribbean pumpkin.
Located near Aylmer, Ontario, the family farm has evolved since the 1960s when his grandfather received a pittance for watermelon at Oktoberfest time. The late-maturing Jubilee varieties were no match against beer! Climb the family tree even further, and his great-grandfather was growing strawberries in 1916, shipping as far east as Montreal.
Today, the Howe family farms 450 acres of which 220 acres are in pumpkin and squash, 70 acres in watermelon, 30 acres in strawberries, 30 acres in sweet corn and four acres in market garden vegetables. Besides the demands of meeting retailer specifications and timelines, the family has operated an on-farm market. After just 13 years, it's become a busy hub although it's located 40 minutes from the urban center of London.
In mid-2019, an opportunity arose to rehabilitate a market structure on a major highway closer to London. The family scurried to open their second location: Howe's Farm Market and Country Bakery.
"We see this as a way to diversify from our reliance on the wholesale market," explains Kevin Howe, operations manager, revealing that 60 per cent of the business is wholesale. That business is valued, but it's also at the whims of North American prices. On-farm markets are not without huge demands on management and marketing. Here are some of the lessons shared by Kevin Howe.
Grow unique varieties. As a specialist in melons,the Howe family grows seedless watermelon (i.e. Troubadour, Traveller, Warrior), orange-seeded watermelon and canary melons. "We enjoy sharing something new that has a very enjoyable flavour," says Howe. "The canary melons, sometimes known as piel de sapo, are the sweetest melons out there with a brix level of about 17°. Normally, melons test about 11°Bx.
While mature melons are sold as fruit, they belong to the Cucurbitaceaefamily. Seed is bought from vegetable seed companies, sown in an on-farm greenhouse and set out as transplants in spring. Pollinators are needed for every three transplants. On-farm trials continue every year with about 120 different types of melons under the microscope.
Stay authentic. Early June,the first of the market season is always toughest in terms of meeting consumer demand for fresh produce. Strawberries, rhubarb, asparagus and locally-grown greenhouse vegetables start the season.No shelf space is given toout-of-province produce. "We wouldn't stock Washington cherries, for example, to fill the gaps," says Howe. "We do bring in tender fruit from Niagara when it's in season."
Invest in signage to tell the story. "There's no easy solution to signage," says Howe. Attractive handwriting is essential to communicate the farm market vibe. He has hired a display specialist to look after this need. And he's empowered staff to make changes to signage on a day-to-day basis. What's fresh? What's new? What's coming? Where was it grown?
Group products together in terms of how they'll be moved and stored overnight. One of the unique displays is an old-spool electrical reel that is set on casters. This display can be positioned at the front of the market as first-of-season produce, and for those items which need to be stored overnight, it can be rolled into a refrigerator. Tender fruits are a good example of what works well in this display.
Attract more traffic with a flower garden. It sounds simple,but planting a flower garden has more than one benefit. Not only does a rainbow-coloured plot attract traffic, but it attracts bees and butterflies. Of many varieties of flowers, the Howe's plant a butterfly milkweed that hosts Monarch butterflies in abundance. The entire life cycle – from eggs, larvae (caterpillar), pupae to adults – is completed in 30 days. That means constant summer-long activity.
What used to be called a "teachable" moment for kids is now an "Instagrammable" moment for adults. This is story-telling at its best. The subtle message is that the farmer is attuned to growing practices for fruit and vegetables that aren't harmful to the environment.
One more hint: plant the tallest rows of flowers at the back of your plot, parallel to the road.
Keep social media fresh. The Facebook page of Howe Family Farm Market has 3,229 followers. It is current, sharing valuable day-to-day information of when crops are ready, hours of operation and pricing. The page is populated with several videos of how produce is grown. The messaging underlines authenticity and transparency.
The Howe family has instinctively catered to consumer cravings, whether that's country neighbours or urbanites. According to the 2020 Nourish Network Trend Report, many currents are propelling consumers in their relationship to food. For some, food purchases are based on environmental ethics. For others, it's a desire to make food shopping a pleasure rather than a chore. It's no surprise that on-farm markets are enjoying unprecedented success. Everyone is craving authenticity, a link to the origin story.

Whether you're selling B2C or B2B, you want to grow sales. Period.
You don't want to slow down because fulfillment operations can't keep pace.
That's why you need a scalable fulfillment operation that can support you at every stage of your business's evolution, adapting quickly and seamlessly to changing order volumes and requirements.

Can you do this yourself? Sure, but at a cost.
- You'll divert capital away from your core mission and into buildings and warehouse equipment
- You'll need to hire, train and manage a large workforce and pay their salary and benefits
- You'll divert focus away from strategic issues and toward day-to-day fulfillment operations, which is probably not a core competency
