Are you a fan of that first cup of coffee each day? You are in good company. Have you fallen into the rut of buying the same coffee day in and day out? Don't be afraid to try something new. Use these helpful coffee hints.
To make a good coffee, always start with fresh beans. They should look kind of oily, and they should be potent. Try to avoid very dry beans, any grocery store beans, and any beans that have been exposed to air for a long time. Your best bet is to either roast beans yourself or buy them from a local roaster.
Always store your coffee beans or grinds in a dark, cool, airtight container. Even better, use a vacuum container. Storing your coffee in such a container helps keep your coffee smelling and tasting fresh for a long time. Store the container in the fridge or freezer to maximize freshness.
Buy a coffee grinder, and buy whole bean coffee. There is no substitute for the taste of freshly ground beans. If you can't afford a coffee grinder, you can still buy whole beans. Most supermarkets have grinders that you can use to grind your coffee purchase before you leave the store.
The price of ground coffee has increased considerably over the past year, and even if you grind it yourself, the coffee beans have also increased in price. Sometimes the less expensive coffee tastes just as good as the higher priced brands, but it may take some trial and error to find one you like.
If you order coffee in a diner or restaurant, do not drink it right away as you should let it sit for at least five minutes. When you see the steam subsiding considerably, this means that your coffee has cooled down a little, as you will not risk getting hurt by drinking it at this time.
You should never reheat coffee, as it will just burn the beverage and taste far worse than being cold. Instead, know when you will have your coffee for more than 20 minutes. Have an insulated mug or a thermal carafe handy for these occasions to retain the original heat and warmth.
If you are used to an independent coffee house, then be careful when ordering in Starbucks. They have a very different language for their products, as part of their distinct branding. The Caramel Macchiato you love back home is not going to taste at all the same in a Starbucks while on the road.
Instead of drinking fruit drinks or sodas when you are preparing for your finals at school, try drinking a few cups of coffee. This will give you the amount of energy that you need to function well without the sugar, and is a great option to have for fall or winter nights when you are studying.
It's important to be on the lookout for the caffeine levels in your coffee. Not all coffee has equal amounts of caffeine. For instance, Robusta beans contain two times the coffee that Arabica does. Depending on the type of beans used and the amounts that were used, drip coffee can actually contain more caffeine than espresso. Make sure you keep yourself informed.
Make sure your coffee pot is clean. In order to get the freshest tasting coffee you must be sure you are using a clean coffee pot. You can clean it by using a teaspoon of vinegar with a full coffee pot of water. Run your coffee pot as though you are making coffee.
Coffee roasts determine the flavor of your coffee. Try different roasts and blends to find the best taste for you. Dark roasts typically have been roasted for a longer period of time. They usually have a stronger and more bitter taste than the lighter roasts. A blend can give you the perfect combination for the perfect cup.
Be certain your water is about 195 to 205 degrees when you are making your coffee. Most mainstream coffee makers do not heat water that hot. Don't let the machine warm your water, heat it yourself. A simple French press is always a good idea.
If you don't want to spend so much money on a coffee addiction, think about coffee subscription clubs. You can get all kinds of discounts through these clubs. Also, the best clubs will only send beans out when you're getting low on them. If you do this, you will never face the situation of having no beans or being stuck with stale coffee.
Does buying coffee take up a lot of your budget? You should invest in a traveling mug, some gourmet coffee or an espresso machine so you can make your own coffee at home instead of stopping at a coffee shop everyday. Additionally, you will save yourself time every day.
Make sure you buy the right size filters for your coffee maker. If your filters aren't the right size, grounds can slip into the coffee being brewed, making it grainy. This defeats the purpose of using filters. Using the right size filters will ensure your coffee is smooth and delicious.
Try drinking coffee that is high quality. The standard coffee that you buy at the grocery store is the lowest quality coffee that you can purchase. Try a high end coffee instead and you will find that you only need to drink one drink to see the same effect that would usually take two or three cups of standard coffee.
Avoid relying on coffee to stay awake for long periods of time and get some energy to focus on your work. Once the effects of the caffeine disappear, you will feel extremely tired and irritated. It is best to get plenty of sleep and drink coffee in reasonable quantities if you want some energy.
After reading these tips, you can have some fun with coffee. Which variety of coffee is next? Is a friend of yours also a big coffee lover? If so, pick a day for the two of you to go out and discover some new coffee together.

Specialising in the design and construction of bespoke garden outbuildings,
and built to the highest standard fully compliant with building codes and practices. Our preferred building material is cedar cladding; an eye-catching striking timber with enormous weather resistance requiring no wood preservative.
We also use a proven building technique widely used in wet climates such as the West coast of Canada which is known as the " envelop system". This entails the use of a water tight lining and breathable water resistant membrane incorporated into the framework.
All our garden outbuildings are designed for year-round use fully winter protected with a 10 year guarantee against rot and moisture penetration.
In addition to Cedar cladding, you have also the choice of different softwood finishes such as Spruce and Larch. Alternatively, and requiring virtually no maintenance is a vinyl siding which comes in a wide range wood affect colours and patterns
We were very pleased with the work Acadia did in the front area of our house.The design was measured out carefully and accurately, the area was left clean and tidy, all debris removed, and we really appreciated all the time and trouble you spent on the project and the hard work of the team! We are happy to recommend Acadia to potential clients and you are welcome to give our contact details to clients looking for a reference or wanting to speak to former clients
Stuart from Peckham
Acadia have been a pleasure to work with over the years. We have a beautiful patio that was expertly laid by friendly workmen. At the back of our property they built us a substantial brick wall, wooden fence and hand-made wooden gate. They were able to provide helpful advice along the way and carefully followed the final council-approved plans. More recently they have completed a re-decoration of our exterior woodwork very efficiently. Phillip and the other staff manage their projects effectively, resolving problems, checking progress regularly and ensuring projects are completed in a timely manner. They are always helpful and polite and we have no hesitation in recommending them to you.
Nic and Ravi from Brockley
Wonderful, but I will miss your presence and that of your staff, because it seems you have been around for ages! I really did not know what the final outcome would be, but you did an excelledt job and I thank you so very much.
Your staff are all great (especially your tiler; he is like a gentle giant – do thank him for me). I will surely recommend you to anyone.
David & Laura from London

CrossFit Hyannis will be participating in The Lurong Living Resolution Challenge. This is a great way to dial in your nutrition and training, and start 2015 off right! It's great to have a community and support group, and help you work toward your goals. The Challenge begins January 19th- get registered!
From The Lurong Living Resolution Challenge:
"Almost everybody has goals and resolutions set for themselves every New Years. Unfortunately, most of these goals are never reached. The world we live in encourages us to dream big, but rarely gives us what we need to get where we want to go.
Lurong Living has built a Resolution challenge precisely for that reason. We know you are capable of reaching your goals, and the Challenge will unlock your true potential. We will help you start the process of making those dreams a little more of a reality.
The challenge starts January 19th, that'll give you a couple weeks to recover after the holidays before you start something brand new. Once the Challenge begins, accountability will become your new best friend. Tracking your daily diet is the first step. You will be recording what level of diet you achieve for each of six time periods of the day, so you are always encouraged and rewarded for making the best choices possible throughout the day. This will keep you accountable for the entire challenge. You'll also have to answer lifestyle markers (getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, eating vegetable, exercising, and doing mobility work) to make sure your resolutions and new lifestyle are staying the course. You will also track your performance, weight, and body measurements to compare exactly how much you improve. Additionally, you will set resolutions and track your progress throughout the Challenge. Throw in a few surprise challenges along the way and we know you will enjoy the 5 week transformation process.
The combination of our PROVEN platform features, the support from the community, tools and resources, and educational content will accelerate your life in the direction you want to go. Our diet levels and food search take the guesswork out of dieting and nutrition. This allows you to focus on your resolutions which leads you one step closer to making that previously unattainable dream become your new reality.
Instead of wondering how and where to start your New Year, join us for the Resolution Challenge."

It Takes a Child to Raise a Parent
While it is the parent's job to show her child love and teach her child values, Janis Clark Johnston maintains, "When our child experiences a crisis, we can lose our bearings. Our own internal crises jiggle loose. Just when our child needs us, we are needy ourselves." It's this fascinating concept that's at the center of Johnston's book, It Takes a Child to Raise a Parent. The premise is that "our child ends up guiding us by connecting us to an earlier time in our life when we encountered distress."
One of my favorite parts of Johnston's book is how she uses the phrase parent in training. I think it captures the phenomenon perfectly of how just when I seem to figure out a system that works for my family someone goes and grows up, changing the whole dynamic again and forcing me back to the drawing board. Since most of us lack training in parenting, Johnston explains we learn from our parents and peers as well as through trial and error. But many of us forget, we're also learning from the children we're charged with raising.
I found it interesting when Johnston noted how "we always want our child to listen to us, but frequently we lack the effort to listen well to our child." If we are to truly listen to our children, then Johnston claims we must engage in the moment so we can embrace our child's perspective. Otherwise, listening becomes as perfunctory act when we yes our children while we distractedly think of all the things we have to do.
Part of the reason It Takes a Child to Raise a Parent appealed to me so much is because storytelling is at its heart. "Traveling story to story, the parenting trip provides parallel opportunities for adult and child growth," Johnston says. In fact, she argues that some of the best lessons we learn in life involve children. Ultimately, Johnston explains, by addressing your own unresolved issues, you will develop your own parenting philosophy, which will meet both your needs and your child's.
According to Johnston, parents and children share five basic needs: energy, discipline, creativity, belonging, and ability. However, she explains, "While we all have the same needs, we travel different paths to meet our needs." Essentially, It Takes a Child to Raise a Parent argues the need to consciously map out your personality so that you can gain a greater awareness of your growing pains. This way you'll have fewer days when you don't recognize yourself and more moments happily engaged with your child.
The difficulty lies in the fact that your needs are constantly interacting with those of your child. "Some of our days reflect in-sync family escalator movement through needs," maintains Johnston; whereas "on other days we collide while attempting to meet needs, facing breakdown and heartache." What it boils down to is that if we are incapable of modeling how to meet our own needs, how will our children ever learn?
Let's face it. We're just as inconsistent as our child. The sooner we accept this "chameleon" element to our personalities the easier it will be for us to move forward in our parenting. One of the best parts of It Takes a Child to Raise a Parent is how it offers tips for the child and then a tip for the parent so that each can ultimately grow up. But Johnston never loses sight of the fact that no matter how old we get, "we can feel five, or ten, or fifteen all over again when our child reaches five, ten, or fifteen years of age and their experience draws forth one of our stories and its meaning." It's this mindset that allows us to not only steer our children along their journey, but embrace ours as well.

- 3 (1/4-ounce) plain gelatin envelopes
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk can
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate bar, chopped
- 1/4 cup dark rum (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- Wooden cookie/lollipop sticks
- Warm milk, for serving
For marshmallows, in the bowl of a standing mixer, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Soak for 10 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water, and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Pour boiling syrup into gelatin, and mix at high speed with a stand mixer until combined. Add salt and beat for 12 more minutes, then mix in vanilla.
Scrape gelatin mixture into a 9-inch square pan lined with oiled plastic wrap and spread evenly, using a lightly oiled rubber spatula or lightly oiled hands. Use more plastic wrap to press mixture into the pan. Let marshmallows sit for a few hours.
Once the marshmallows set, remove from pan and dredge the whole marshmallow square in confectioners' sugar. Cut marshmallows into 12 equal pieces with scissors. Dredge each marshmallow square again in confectioners' sugar. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
For fudge, line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
In a large saucepan, combine cream and condensed milk over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to boil. Slowly add chocolate and whisk until chocolate melts, 8-10 minutes; the fudge is done when the bubbles go from large to small. Remove from heat and stir in the rum, vanilla bean paste, ginger and nutmeg; if making this for kids, omit rum and any seasonings. Pour chocolate mixture into prepared pan, smoothing the top. Cover with foil and let sit overnight.
Once fudge has set, cut into squares or small rounds using a 1-inch round cookie cutter.
For drinks, skewer the marshmallows first with the wooden sticks, and then the fudge. Serve with warm milk in mugs, and hot chocolate on a stick for stirring.

One Comment
Ah this whole interview resonated with me so much!! Particularly the element around "junk food rest".
I live with disability & chronic illness, and when I was accepted into a program with specialists at a nearby hospital, they sat me down to talk about rest and asked me all sorts of questions about my rest. My response was "Oh yeah, I rest all the time, I rest TOO much. I feel like I rest all day." Which lead to a convo about what I called rest… Because laying in bed watching trashy TV while scrolling through social media, it turns out, ISN'T rest for my body (big surprise – though at the time it was an utter revelation). What I'd been calling "rest" wasn't actually restful – it was just letting my body be immobile while bombarding it with useless stimulus. Now I take my rest time much more seriously and engage in short meditation breaks through my day, or moments of laying down with my eyes closed, or just stopping to do deep belly breaths. I definitely do "junk food rest" sometimes still, I'm just way more conscious of what it is and the purpose it's actually serving – like was said in the interview, I know I can make choices about that. I'm an adult!
The two apps I use & love on my Mac are Time Out & Flux. Time Out offers prompts as often as you'd like that are 15 seconds of freezing the computer, which I take as an opportunity to look away from the screen, maybe stretch or move my position a little. Then there are longer breaks that freeze the screen for 10 minutes, which is when I get up and move around or make tea. You can change the settings to suit your needs! It's free though you can pay for bonus features.
Flux adapts your screen colours to your environment – so if you put in your timezone and the area you live, it will make the screen softer when sunset hits, and gradually decrease the intensity of the lighting (you can still work, it's just not that sickly bright blue glow). It can also be set and adapted to personal needs. It's free too!

Glenn Beck offered this compilation of lies on his Blaze TV show yesterday. After Darryl Issa correctly called spokesman Jay Carney a "paid liar" and was pilloried for it, the Democrats asked for it. This just scratches the surface.
He hasn't even gone into all of the campaign lies, such as the promise that every bill would be put on the internet before Obama would sign it.

Playtime is based on my recent sketches and memories of painted dogs in Botswana playing around a tall clump of buffalo grass. So where is the grass, I hear you asking? Well the composition did originally contain the grass, but I removed it because I felt that the obvious playful energy of the 2 dogs was the real essence of the painting. You can see from their raised tails, raised ears and general body language that they are ready to run and chase each other, they are just waiting to see who will make the first move.
The playful nature of painted dogs (African wild dogs) is just one of the reasons they are so wonderful to watch. They exude a real joy in being part of a pack, having close companions, and in celebrating their successful hunts. My choice of colors – magenta and cyan – reflect the joyful, energetic nature of the piece and the layered washes of color create distance between the 2 dogs (so I was able to remove the grass from the composition!).
Playtime was very loosely based on some of my recent field sketches, including this piece, created in Zimbabwe when I spent time with Dr Greg Rasmussen of the Painted Dog Research Trust in Mana Pools.
Playtime and several more of my new paintings & sketches will be on display in Wildlife Art: Field to Studio, an exhibition at the Flinn Gallery in Greenwich, Connecticut. The exhibit features work by 7 artists, several of whom are personal friends of mine, and all of whom are Signature members of the Society of Animal Artists.

How Do I Find A Good Personal Injury Lawyer?
First, I'm going to tell you to stay away from the big TV advertisers. Your case is going to be one of 1,000 cases so I don't think it gets the attention that it needs. Second, you want to find someone who only does personal injury or car wrecks. You don't want your case to be the one that attorney learns on. Lastly, I'm going to tell you to interview your attorney, sit down with him, and see what his game plan is, what he thinks his goals can be from your car wreck and how long he thinks it will take to resolve your claim.

Factor $x^4+1$ over $\mathbb{R}$
Well, I read this question first wrongly, because the reader is about complex analysis, I did it for $\mathbb{C}$ first.
I got. $x^4+1=(x-e^{\pi i/4 })(x-e^{3 \pi i/4})(x-e^{5\pi i/4})(x-e^{7\pi i/4})$.
My teacher told me that there is very smart way to do this for $\mathbb{R}$ that we already learned. But I only can think of trial and error kind of methods.

When one gets to have a negative attitude within their mind, it sometimes ends up taking control of their happiness. When people want to change their lifestyle, most of them ends giving up even before giving it a trial. Moreover, one can easily change their way of thinking and eventually become positive minded. People should always spare their time and see the things that makes them feel good or happy and then write them down. Writing whatever that may make you feel at ease is always the best thing since they even ends up putting a smile on your face when you remember them. Whenever you may feel stressed up with something, just change the environment you are in and go to somewhere that you may feel at ease and even more peaceful. This helps one to change the way you view things and start viewing them in a different perspective even help you to have a positive mind about life again. One becomes even more comfortable. A close person to talk to can also be a way of relieving what one has been having in their mind.
If it may come to a point and one feels that negativity has really taken control of their lives to the point they view things negatively, its important for one to see a trained professional or even an online counselor who will help you overcome all this problems as time goes by. Being positive minded is the best thing since one always thinks positively. All of us are suppossed to think in a positive way. One should at times avoid the people who are always around them but cannot help in any way. Those who complain never see any good in anything. At times it makes one to feel they are the worst and even think they never see any good in todays living.
This should be a minor thing to someone. All it requires is for one is to avoid the negative thinkers. With happier people in your surrounding, all the negativity even goes away. No one will ever control whatever is in you. No matter how bad the situation might be, one should always see the bad in a good way and this helps one to even never see a bad situation no matter how bad it could be. No matter how old an item can be,one should always be optimistic enough and even find a way they can make them become more useful. Ones interpretation controls ones life. When someone also asks you how you feeling, or whatever issue you might be having,just tell them you are okay.

area. Already a wide range of inks
with various electrical properties are
commercially available. Depending
on the material, a printed structure
can act as conductor, semi-conductor,
isolator, or dielectric. It can also exhibit
other functional properties, such as
actively emitting light. Commonly
used materials include dispersions
of metallic or carbon particles (e.g.,
silver nanoparticles) and conductive
and semi-conductive polymers (e.g.,
PEDOT:PSS and pentacene).
The functional behavior is defined
by not only the material, but also the
geometry in which one or multiple
materials are printed. A conductive
structure printed on a single layer can
act as a flexible circuit board, as well
as a resistor, capacitor, inductor, or
antenna. By printing various materials
on multiple layers, active components
can be realized such as displays, more
complex sensors, actuators, transistors,
and batteries.
Will the next generation of
microprocessors be printed?
Will printed electronics replaceconventional silicon-based electronics?No. Rather, printed electronicswill coexist with them. Printedelectronics is limited by a much lowerintegration density due to the lowerresolution of printing. It also offersconsiderably lower switching timesthan in conventional electronicsbecause of the low mobility of printedsemi-conductors. Therefore, we willsee continued use of conventionalelectronics for high-performanceapplications, while printed electronicswill open up new markets andapplications for thin, lightweight,large-area, deformable, and extremelylow-cost electronics.
So why not use printing to prototype
your new mobile, wearable, tangible,
or embedded user interface? In
ground-laying work, Kawahara et al.
[ 1] have demonstrated that highly
conductive structures can be printed
in high resolution with a consumer-grade inkjet printer, which is as cheap
as $100. The approach replaces the
standard inks in the cartridge with
commercially available conductive ink,
which is made of silver nanoparticles.
The user designs the conductive
traces and electrodes in any graphics
application and then prints them
within a few seconds on a specific type
of photo paper (Figure 1). Despite its
limitation to single-layer printing, the
method can be used for a wide variety
of purposes. Among other scenarios,
the authors have demonstrated its
efficacy in the rapid prototyping of
deformable electronic circuits and for
printing capacitive touch sensors and
RFID antennas.
If the prototype requires more
complex functionality that cannot
be printed, conventional electronics
components can be attached onto the
printout by using CircuitStickers,
which the authors have presented in
follow-up work. The team has also
contributed an improved multimodal
sensing technique [ 2]. It allows for
single-layer printing of sensors that
are capable of sensing multi-touch and
proximity input, several levels of touch
pressure, and deformation. Last but not
least, printed sensors can be visually
appealing, as shown in Figure 2.
Other conductive inkjet printers
can realize much larger circuits by
printing onto material dispensed

music control on an electric ukulele, adapted from an artwork by Evgeny Kiselev. (Courtesy of

The Insider: Easy, rider
Fleets are increasingly exploring the potential of motorbikes but the risks must be taken into account, reckons The Insider.
In the Seventies, the antics of Barry Sheene brought a whole new audience to motorcycle racing, just as Valentino Rossi has done today.
Bikes once more became acceptable, drawing a veil over a few dodgy years when bikers were considered troublesome. But in the Seventies' resurgence, motorcycles were often a principal means of transport, whereas over the past 30 years they have been widely used as hobby hobby machines. In fact, I was surprised to learn that they account for only about 1% of vehicles on UK roads.
Now it seems bikes are being taken seriously again, as the contract hire market expands into two wheels. Fleets are looking at bikes more closely since they offer tax-efficient opportunities for employer and employee alike. More than that though, is the ability to spend more time travelling, less time stuck in traffic, and thus getting where you need to go quickly, with the ability to park more easily too.
Think of working bikes today and police, paramedics and pizza will probably spring most readily to mind. But there must be plenty of other applications – maybe estate agents dashing to multiple property viewings, or engineers who carry only light tools. The ability to offer a first and fast response is key to most service industries.
For all the advantages of that fast response, there are a different set of issues to consider at the same time.
One is recruiting suitably experienced riders, and keeping them upright and healthy. There is no doubt that bikes are more physical to manage in terms of weight and manoeuvrability, and more challenging in terms of weather and traffic conditions.
As someone who commuted about 30,000 miles a year by bike, I once calculated that I crashed, on average, about once every 10,000 miles. Believe me, you learn fast in heavy traffic. On-road advanced training and hazard perception would be a major consideration if I were developing a motorcycle element to my fleet.
Aside from commercially run bike courses, there is plenty on the government 'Think Bike' website to educate the biker, but sadly less so to educate those habitually using more than two wheels.
If you've never ridden a bike, you just don't appreciate all the pitfalls. It would be good to see the Think Bike campaign spend money with TV advertising showing video footage shot from a bike; it could show the need for care on different surfaces, highlight the reason for a better traffic check at junctions, when riders may not have positioned themselves on the road to best effect, or warn drivers to expect bikes filtering either side of them.
Yes bikers need to take responsibility for themselves, but no-one wants to get caught up in the aftermath of an accident through inadvertent error by either party. Recently our Elfin Safety team thought it would be generous to hand out 'Think Bike' stickers to place in our company cars. I put my foot down and said "no", at least until we had carried out some education.
To me, seeing that sticker in the rear window of the car in front means a fellow biker, a friend; someone who looks over their shoulder before turning right (or left), uses their indicators, who doesn't make last of the late braking manoeuvres unnecessarily on a wet road, and won't make a U-turn unexpectedly in front of me.
I don't need to be lulled into a false sense of security by a well-meaning but uneducated sticker-wearer. And while we're talking risk, there's insurance to consider.
Bikers count as vulnerable road users. Would you place bikes on your general fleet policy, or keep them separate, in case the accident statistics are worse, leading to a higher premium across the whole fleet? Provision of suitable clothing is another cost, and that cost can be surprisingly high – rather more than the cost of the average work wear uniform. Waterproof jackets and trousers with built in armour, suitable gloves and boots, plus a top grade helmet – you'll be lucky to spend less than £1,500 per person.
Most of it unlikely to be reusable should that employee leave. Bikes can be quite hard on chains and tyres, and maintenance costs may be higher than expected, plus there isn't a great market for second hand bikes, so residual-setting must be fun. I suspect contract pricing is pretty challenging. But I'm delighted there are people willing to offer it, and good luck to them. Anything which reduces tax and congestion has to be a good thing.

In geodesy, a meridian arc measurement is the distance between two points with the same longitude, i.e., a segment of a meridian curve or its length. Two or more such determinations at different locations then specify the shape of the reference ellipsoid which best approximates the shape of the geoid. This process is called the determination of the Figure of the Earth. The earliest determinations of the size of a spherical Earth required a single arc. The latest determinations use astro-geodetic measurements and the methods of satellite geodesy to determine the reference ellipsoids.
Those interested in accurate expressions of the meridian arc for the WGS84 ellipsoid should consult the subsection entitled numerical expressions.
Early estimations of Earth's size are recorded from Greece in the 4th century BC, and from Baghdad caliphs in the 9th century, but it was the Alexandrian scientist Eratosthenes who, abut 240 BC, first calculated a realistic value. He knew that on the summer solstice at local noon the sun goes through the zenith in the ancient Egyptian city of Syene (Assuan). He also knew from his own measurements that, at the same moment in his hometown of Alexandria, the zenith distance was 1/50 of a full circle (7.2°).
Assuming that Alexandria was due north of Syene, Eratosthenes concluded that the distance between Alexandria and Syene must be 1/50 of Earth's circumference. Using data from caravan travels, he estimated the distance to be 5000 stadia (about 500 nautical miles)—which implies a circumference of 252,000 stadia. Assuming the Attic stadion (185 m) this corresponds to 46,620 km, or 16% too great. However, if Eratosthenes used the Egyptian stadion (157.5 m) his measurement turns out to be 39,690 km, an error of only 1%. Syene is not precisely on the Tropic of Cancer and not directly south of Alexandria. The sun appears as a disk of 0.5°, and an estimate of the overland distance traveling along the Nile or through the desert couldn't be more accurate than about 10%.
Eratosthenes' estimation of Earth's size was accepted for nearly two thousand years. A similar method was used by Posidonius about 150 years later, and slightly better results were calculated in AD 827 by the grade measurement of the Caliph al-Ma'mun.
Early literature uses the term oblate spheroid to describe a sphere "squashed at the poles". Modern literature uses the term "ellipsoid of revolution" in place of spheroid, although the qualifying words "of revolution" are usually dropped. An ellipsoid which is not an ellipsoid of revolution is called a triaxial ellipsoid. Spheroid and ellipsoid are used interchangeably in this article, with oblate implied if not stated.
In 1687 Newton had published in the Principia a proof that the earth was an oblate spheroid of flattening equal to 1/230.[1] This was disputed by some, but not all, French scientists. A meridian arc of Picard was extended to a longer arc by Maupertuis, Clairaut, Camus, Le Monnier, Abbe Outhier, Celsius). The expedition to Peru is described in the French Geodesic Mission article and that to Lappland is described in the Torne Valley article. The resulting measurements at equatorial and polar latitudes confirmed that the earth was best modelled by an oblate spheroid, supporting Newton.
By the end of the century Delambre had remeasured and extended the French arc from Dunkirk to the Mediterranean. It was divided into five parts by four intermediate determinations of latitude. By combining the measurements together with those for the arc of Peru, ellipsoid shape parameters were determined and the distance between the equator and pole along the Paris Meridian was calculated as 5130762 toise as specified by the standard toise bar in Paris. Defining this distance as exactly 10,000,000 m led to the construction of a new standard metre bar as 0.5130762 toise.[2]:22
In the 19th century, many astronomers and geodesists were engaged in detailed studies of the Earth's curvature along different meridian arcs. The analyses resulted in a great many model ellipsoids such as Plessis 1817, Airy 1830, Bessel 1830, Everest 1830, and Clarke 1866. A comprehensive list of ellipsoids is given under Earth ellipsoid.
The determination of the meridian distance, that is the distance from the equator to a point at a latitude \varphi on the ellipsoid is an important problem in the theory of map projections, particularly the Transverse Mercator projection. Ellipsoids are normally specified in terms of the parameters defined above, a, b, f, but in theoretical work it is useful to define extra parameters, particularly the eccentricity, e, and the third flattening n. Only two of these parameters are independent and there are many relations between them:
The meridian radius of curvature can be shown[3][4] to be equal to
so that the arc length of an infinitesimal element of the meridian is dm = M(\varphi) \, d\varphi (with \varphi in radians). Therefore the meridian distance from the equator to latitude \varphi is
The distance formula is simpler when written in terms of the parametric latitude,
where \tan\beta = (1-f)\tan\varphi and e'^2 = e^2/(1-e^2). The distance from the equator to the pole, the quarter meridian, is
Even though latitude is normally confined to the range [-\pi/2,\pi/2], all the formulas given here apply to measuring distance around the complete meridian ellipse (including the anti-meridian). Thus the ranges of \varphi, \beta, and the rectifying latitude \mu, are unrestricted.
The above integral is related to a special case of an incomplete elliptic integral of the third kind. In the notation of the online NIST handbook[5] (Section 19.2(ii)),
It may also be written in terms of incomplete elliptic integrals of the second kind (See the NIST handbook Section 19.6(iv)),
The quarter meridian can be expressed in terms of the complete elliptic integral of the second kind,
The calculation (to arbitrary precision) of the elliptic integrals and approximations are also discussed in the NIST handbook. These functions are also implemented in computer algebra programs such as Mathematica[6] and Maxima.[7]
The above integral may be expressed as an infinite truncated series by expanding the integrand in a Taylor series, performing the resulting integrals term by term, and expressing the result as a trigonometric series. In 1755, Euler[8] derived an expansion in the third eccentricity squared.
Delambre in 1799[9] derived a widely used expansion on the eccentricity squared,
Rapp[10] gives a detailed derivation of this result.
Series with considerably faster convergence can be obtained by expanding in terms of the third flattening, n instead of the eccentricity. They are related by
In 1837, Bessel obtained one such series,[11] which was put into a simpler form by Helmert,[12][13]
Because n changes sign when a and b are interchanged and because the initial factor, \frac12(a+b), is constant under this interchange, half the terms in the expansions of H_{2k} vanish.
The series can be expressed with either a or b as the initial factor by writing, for example, \frac12(a+b) = a/(1+n) = a(1-n+n^2-n^3+n^4-\cdots), and expanding the result as a series in n. Even though this results in more slowly converging series, such series are used in the specification for the transverse Mercator projection by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency[14] and the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain.[15]
In 1825, Bessel [16] derived an expansion of the meridian distance in terms of the parametric latitude \beta in connection with his work on geodesics,
Because this series provides an expansion for the elliptic integral of the second kind, it can be used to write the arc length in terms of the geographic latitude as
The above series, to eighth order in eccentricity or fourth order in third flattening, provide millimetre accuracy. With the aid of symbolic algebra systems, they can easily be extended to sixth order in the third flattening which provides full double precision accuracy for terrestrial applications.
Delambre[9] and Bessel[16] both wrote their series in a form that allows them to be generalized to arbitrary order. The coefficients in Bessel's series can expressed particularly simply
and k!! is the double factorial, extended to negative values via the recursion relation: (-1)!! = 1 and (-3)!! = -1.
The coefficients in Helmert's series can similarly be expressed generally by
This result was conjected by Helmert[17] and proved by Kawase.[18]
The factor (1-2k)(1+2k) results in poorer convergence of the series in terms \varphi compared to the one in \beta.
The quarter meridian is given by
a result which was first obtained by Ivory.[19]
The trigonometric series given above can be conveniently evaluated using Clenshaw summation. This method avoids the calculation of most of the trigonometric functions and allows the series to be summed rapidly and accurately. The technique can also be used to evaluate the difference m(\varphi_1) - m(\varphi_2) while maintaining high relative accuracy.
Substituting the values for the semi-major axis and eccentricity of the WGS84 ellipsoid gives
where \varphi^{(\circ)} = \varphi/1^\circ is \varphi expressed in degrees (and similarly for \beta^{(\circ)}). For the WGS84 ellipsoid the quarter meridian is
The perimeter of a meridian ellipse is 4m_p=2\pi(a+b) c_0. Therefore \frac12(a+b)c_0 is the radius of the circle whose circumference is the same as the perimeter of a meridian ellipse. This defines the mean Earth radius as 6\,367\,449.146\,\mathrm{m}.
On the ellipsoid the exact distance between parallels at \varphi_1 and \varphi_2 is m(\varphi_1)-m(\varphi_2). For WGS84 an approximate expression for the distance \Delta m between the two parallels at one half of a degree from the circle at latitude \varphi is given by
In some problems, we need to be able to solve the inverse problem: given m, determine \varphi. This may be solved by Newton's method, iterating
until convergence. A suitable starting guess is given by \varphi_0 = \mu where
is the rectifying latitude. Note that it there is no need to differentiate the series for m(\varphi), since the formula for the meridian radius of curvature M(\varphi) can be used instead.
Alternatively, Helmert's series for the meridian distance can be reverted to give[20][21]
Similarly, Bessel's series for m in terms of \beta can be reverted to give[22]
Legendre[23] showed that the distance along a geodesic on an spheroid is the same as the distance along the perimeter of an ellipse. For this reason, the expression for m in terms of \beta and its inverse given above play a key role in the solution of the geodesic problem with m replaced by s the distance along the geodesic and \beta replaced by \sigma the arc length on the auxiliary sphere.[16][24] The requisite series extended to sixth order are given by Karney,[25] Eqs. (17) & (21), with \epsilon playing the role of n and \tau playing the role of \mu.

I hope that the hope and excitement of the newbies keeps them away from corruption and stops them from being led by the nose by the few experienced councillors that remain.
With their arrival in office, it's high time to address the elephants in the room…
On their first day of office, August 15 2016, Knysna's 21 councillors each received a copy of my "Elephants in the Room" complaint.
It's by no means comprehensive as there's far too many issues and evidence to address in one go but R530 worth of printing should offer enough to disturb any moral councillor.
When i use the expression "elephants in the room", i mean that there are big, blatant problems that politicians and municipal staff do not want to talk about.
For some, the failure of duty is because of bias and power.
For most, it's because they know they're guilty.
They'd rather repeatedly take me to court than admit that elephants are standing right next to them…

Wed January 12, 2005 - Northeast Edition
PHILADELPHIA (AP) An anti-blight program launched more than two years ago to rid neighborhoods of thousands of abandoned, dilapidated houses has exceeded many of its goals, city officials said.
Mayor John Street, who has made the five-year program a centerpiece of his administration, said he "couldn't be more pleased" with the progress.
"The Neighborhood Transformation Initiative [NTI] has, in many cases, exceeded its expectations," the mayor said. "We have had neighborhoods in this city within the last year [that] have literally turned the corner in desirability and livability."
The program is aimed at replacing vacant buildings and land with new homes and businesses. It is funded with $275 million in city bond funds, $250 million in federal funds, and more than $50 million in city general funds.
Critics said the program has failed to create enough new housing in its first two and a half years to replace the city's many rundown buildings and vacant lots.
And some residents recently united to stop the city from tearing down two vacant houses, as well as a storefront church that was not vacant but was mistakenly listed as blighted.
"We're the ones in the trenches who are experiencing their rosy picture, and it's a lie," said Rosemary Cubas, who has lived in the Norris Square neighborhood for more than three decades.
"They're not taking blighted properties," said Cubas, a member of a group called the Citywide Coalition to Save Our Homes. "They're taking solid, well-organized communities and destroying them."
Supporters said the program has rid many neighborhoods of the hulking, vacant buildings that kept potential developers away.
"What we're hoping to do is create blocks where people want to be there, where they want to take pride in the neighborhood," said Michael S. Schurr, president of a development company that is helping build more than 200 houses. "Without NTI, none of these things would be happening."
The city said that as of June 30, 5,507 houses and apartments for low-income residents have been built or renovated. The goal was 3,500 in five years.
• 6,839 houses and apartments have been built or started in developments of 40 or more homes. The goal was 2,000 homes in five years.
• 6,885 buildings have been demolished or are under contract to be demolished. The goal was 8,000 to 10,000 demolitions in five years.
• 13,962 homeowners have received grants or low-interest loans to repair their homes. The goal was 4,500 preservation investments in five years.
• The initiative helped developers build or plan the construction of 7,653 market-rate homes. The five-year goal was 6,000.
The program has been helped by a booming real estate market that has inflated median housing prices by 26 percent over five years. The city's 10-year tax abatement for new residential construction and the lowest mortgage rates in more than 30 years also have helped.
"If you think of the NTI proceeds as a stimulus to jump-start other activities … it has succeeded," said Patricia L. Smith, director of the NTI.

Offering New York's Flatiron District and college campuses across the country a digital experience, Calvin Klein Inc has collaborated with Amazon Fashion to create an interactive brand event at the Flatiron Plaza. News of the partnership for this event follows the success of 2017's holiday retail experience. The market will be a three-day event aimed at immersing visitors in a physical marketplace with a variety of digitally enhanced experiences.
Amazon has been selling Calvin Klein Jeans for ten years and has also sold the brands underwear for eight. The Calvin Klein x Amazon Fashion NYC Market is set to bring Calvin Klein Jeans' fall ad campaign to life using interactive stalls that feature an integration of product and technology. With a photographer present to capture photos, visitors will be able to re-create the brand's 'Together in Denim Billboard' campaign.
The market also features games that offer visitors the opportunity to win prizes such as Amazon devices, Calvin Klein Underwear, Jeans and other exciting products and accessories only available at the event. An Amazon Alexa Jukebox Lounge will feature an updated version of a classic jukebox using Alexa to control music and lighting. Various other features and activities will be presented throughout the event with brand ambassadors and other personalities also set to visit the market.
"The continued collaborating with Amazon Fashion allows us to reach new and existing consumers through a youth-targeting marketing approach. By joining Amazon Fashion's digital expertise with Calvin Klein's physical presence, we are creating a 'phy-gital' experience in the middle of New York City, reinforcing our commitment to a consumer-first strategy," said Marie Gulin-Merle, chief marketing officer of Calvin Klein Inc.
"We expect the event will create an emotional engagement with Calvin Klein, a key priority for us as we evolve from being a famous brand only to also being a favourite brand. We are prioritising an always-on, digital-first marketing strategy, which is where the link to Amazon digital experience came in. The immersive event experience is a way to bring the Calvin Klein Jeans fall campaign, 'Together in Denim', to life in an inclusive and participatory way. We are especially excited to celebrate the fall collection as it is the first Jeans collection designed wholly under the creative direction of Raf Simons."
"The immersive physical experience and the digital experience are a great complement to one other – O2O (online to off-line) is where the magic happens. Consumers today want the flexibility to shop whenever they want, however they want."

Many workout routines use a vast amount of equipment and machines. But those routines can only be done at big commercial gyms. They're great because they allow more variety in the exercises, but going to such a gym isn't always convenient or worth it.
For example, if your apartment block or your student housing has its own gym, you can save time and money if you go there. The same happens if you're spending your holidays at a hotel or aparthotel and want to train.
I've created this 7 full body workouts so you can reap all the benefits from training, with limited equipment!
Each of them has 10 exercises in total, sometimes grouped into supersets or circuits.
Sometimes I say the barbell is optional because it can easily be substituted by dumbbells. You can also choose another handle for the cable machine if your gym doesn't have the one stated.
Resting time is 30 seconds between sets (unless specified otherwise), and free between exercises or groups of exercises. Exercises in a superset or circuit are to be performed without resting in between.
The number of repetitions in unilateral exercises is by side.
*Some abbreviations used: BB (barbell), DB (dumbbell), RDL (Romanian deadlift).
Let's go!

Remember to warm up before every training session and to stretch after it to take care of your muscles and prevent injuries.
And, above all, enjoy your training!
Remember too that it's a way to praise God, because you're taking care of the temple of your body, which He has created and entrusted to your care. He wants to make it His abode. You're also practicing discipline and effort, and you can take advantage of that to offer it up.
(If you want to pray with exercise in a more explicit manner, try these Stations of the Cross!)
How about … starting today? 😉

text: Hey guys, wasn't quite sure where to put this, so it is going here. First off I want to say you guys are great, when I buy keys from you they generally last a decent amount of time. However my issue is with your warranty. Every now and then I get a global ban within the 24 hour warranty. So I come back on to skype for a replacement. I give the time of purchase, the email I used to pay with, and the key. Then I wait. I will call and message trying to get some help (not spamming, usually an hour or so between messages) and still no response. Then about 3-4 days later you guys come back to me and say that the warranty has expired and now it is to late. How is that my fault? I do my best to get hold of you inside of the 24 hour warranty, but due to no response, I always get stiffed. I can understand that you might be busy or something, but when you claim to be online 24/7 (which you aren't) and offer a 24 hour warranty, it would be nice to actually get some kind of a response. Even if it is just, hey sorry helping another user, will get back to you in XX minutes. It makes me feel kind of let down by your service and tempted not to buy again, I know that is probably not even the tiny scratch in your income, but it also kind of ruins your rep. I just want to be able to play dayz, if I get banned after 24H then so be it, but some help would be appreciated when I am still within the warranty time.

|SaltyBet stream's intermission screen displayed between matches and betting phases
|Website adress
|Launched by
|Launch date
|July 3rd, 2013(?)
Users that create their account start with $400 in fictional currency of Salty Bucks that can be used to place their bets. Between every match there is a betting phase during which the players can place their bets. If a player loses all their money they get a bailout of $100 Salty Bucks. SaltyBet also features a paid subscription feature named "Salty Illuminati", joining to which allows users to view match records, edit character stats, and make match requests.[1]
The site currently cycles between 3 modes. The cycle is 100 matchmaking rounds, a 16 character tournament, and 25 exhibition matches.
Salty did the first Dream Cast on July 3rd, 2013. Around that time he was already in talks with other people on ways to expand upon the sites. One of the ideas involved experimenting with the betting concept of games of non FG-genres such as Call of Duty and Starcraft II matches. He named the stream after both the Sega console and the concept of Dream Match games.[2]
Some time after the introduction of the premium "Illuminati" feature at least a few unsavory users made "betting bots" that pulled names out of the stats and made automated bets based on the stats. Salty attempted to combat this in various ways, eventually settling for displaying the names of the combatants on the betting section simply as "Player 1" and "Player 2".
The site was updated in October 28 with newly added "Matchmaking" and "Compendium" systems.[3]. The matchmaking system pits characters in four tiers that are based on the character's win rate. The compendium is a premium feature that allows the Illuminati members to view the current roster and see what current tier a character is in, as well as tweak a character's starting health/power values with Salty Bucks (provided they have a character "unlocked" for those of tier higher than "Potato"). The member can also opt with Salty Bucks to permanently dismiss a "Potato-tier" character from the roster.
Further updates have added exhibition mode, which allows Illuminati members to make match requests. 25 of these matches play out after every tournament. An additional tier, X, was also added for characters that are considered extremely cheap, broken, or overpowered.
- Salty himself named MelvanaInChains (especially Alter Amiba and Ghetto Warmachine), RajaaBoy, Sander 71113 and Reuben Kee among his favourite mugen creators.

In 2007, there was a ban that increased happiness for married women, but not men, according to the British Household Panel Survey.
That ban was on smoking. According to the World Health Organisation, smoking is directly linked to 6 million deaths every year worldwide leading to diseases like cancer, chest infections, strokes and heart attacks. The new analysis in Scottish Journal of Political Economy was led by Dr. Eugenio Zucchelli of Lancaster University and used self-reported assessments of psychological well-being before and after the introduction of the bans in the UK. They parsed the results for smokers, occasional smokers and non smokers, single or in a couple.
Most in approval were married women with dependent children but there was no comparable increase for married men with children. There were also increases in happiness among married men who quit smoking after the ban and, most predictably, men and women who had never smoked, because it could only have positive impact on them.
claims the difference between married men and women could be due to innate differences in genders. "Individuals with altruistic preferences towards their children would benefit more from the introduction of public smoking bans than non-altruistic parents, mainly for the expected reduction of their children's exposure to second hand smoke, at least in public places."
So if married dads were not happier about not being able to smoke in the pub, it's because they hate their kids.
For The British, Bans Increase Happiness
