Conservative MEPs Lift Threat to Red EnsignMerchant fleets have been saved from having to display the European flag on the Red Ensign following a vote today in the European Parliament. Conservative MEPs led the campaign to ensure this symbol of British naval history was not lost.
MEPs rejected a proposal which states that 'ships registered in a Member State shall display the emblem of the European Union, i.e. a circle of 12 gold stars on a square blue background, in a corner of their flags'.
The threat to the Red Ensign was lifted despite British Labour and Liberal Democrat Group MEPs supporting these plans in Transport Committee.
The Rt. Hon Sir Robert Atkins, North West MEP, said:
"The proposal to replace the Red Ensign with the European flag was yet another attempt to force the EU identity onto Member States. There was no justification for the compulsory display of the EU symbol on the Red Ensign - it would not have enhanced security or ease of identification.
Hundreds of years of maritime tradition were under threat, and I am delighted that Britain's merchant fleet can continue to proudly fly the historic Red Ensign."

This bed has a bit of everything. On the left side is borage with the largest of the Armenian cucumbers in the center and a sunflower on the right. Too small to see are some zinnias and bee balm.
This tomato plant is certainly not the prettiest. It was one that died back in the greenhouse and sprouted back out. I am happy that it is covered with tomatoes!
I have wanted to add lemongrass to my herb garden for a couple of years but could not find a plant to purchase. I was happy to find this in a larger city's garden center. I divided it into three portions and put it in a large container so I can overwinter it in the greenhouse.
This lemon tree will be overloaded with blooms any day now. You can already see one very tiny lemon. I moved the plant into the main garden so it would be closer to the honeybees.
This is the smaller of my two lemon trees, but it has a nice sized little lemon on it.
Both of my pineapple sage plants have hit a growth spurt. They are covered in blooms and I get a whiff of pineapple each time I walk by.
This raised bed contains a mixture of tomato plants. I also added in borage and marigolds as companion plants.
One section of my potted herbs. From left to right - oregano, rosemary, and garlic chives

What are your priorities? You're not going on a cruise; you're having a baby. Make sure you have what you need and want medically before you think about the extras. Consider what if, during delivery, your baby runs into trouble. What if she goes into distress, is not receiving adequate oxygen, and needs to be delivered by cesarean section as soon as possible? How long might it take the doctor to start a cesarean? Five minutes? Fifteen minutes? Twentyfive minutes? Would you believe all of the above, depending on the hospital? If it's the middle of the night, Hospital A may have an anesthesiologist on call but not in the building. In such situations, your compromised baby, your baby in lifethreatening trouble, will have to wait until the anesthesiologist arrives. This "decision to incision" time (typically no more than 30 minutes), the time it takes from deciding you need a cesarean to the time required to assemble the necessary staff and equipment, transfer you to an operating room, administer the anesthetic, and start the operation, is critical. The clock starts ticking the minute your baby is in distress, and if she's not receiving enough oxygen, time is the enemy. Most hospitals have a specific "decision to incision" time. What's the standard at the hospital you're considering? You may not want to think about this, but if you need an emergency C-section, you need to be in the right place. Before you decide on a hospital, read a little further so you can ask the right questions and make careful choices.
Guidelines to Follow When Selecting a Hospital
When making the decision about where to give birth to your baby, look for:
- A subspecialty hospital that has 24-hour-a-day staffing of healthcare professionals including specialist doctors such as OB/GYNs, perinatologists, and anesthesiologists
- AWHONN (The Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses)-certified labor and delivery nurses and AWHONN-certified neonatal intensive care unit nurses
- Twenty-four-hour-a-day staffing of lab technicians
- An operating room on the same floor as the labor and delivery unit
- A high-tech neonatal intensive care unit
- A blood bank
Questions to Ask When Evaluating a Hospital's Obstetric Care
Some of these questions are intentionally hard-hitting, because it's better to identify possible issues now than to discover them when you're in labor.
- I understand that hospitals are separated into levels for the purposes of providing care to pregnant women and their newborns. What level is this hospital for obstetric care? Does it offer basic care, specialty care, or subspecialty care? (Remember, TIOP level I is often called basic care, level II is specialty care, and level III is subspecialty care. Alternatively, the rating system of The Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, now referred to as "The Joint Commission" or JCAHO, is the opposite, with level 1 being the best, usually a large regional teaching hospital with subspecialty care; level 2 offering specialty care; and level 3 typically a small local hospital offering basic care only.)
- If problems develop during delivery and my doctor decides a cesarean is necessary, how long will it take before surgery can begin?
- Is this a standard time that the hospital adheres to or could it be longer in some cases?
- What's the typical staffing ratio of labor and delivery nurses per women in labor? (It should be one to one for patients in labor.)
- How many labor and delivery rooms do you have?
- How many operating rooms do you have for cesarean sections? Can you do more than one C-section at a time?
- Is the operating room in the labor and delivery unit?
- What do you do if the operating rooms are full?
- My blood type is (fill in the blank). How quickly could I get blood or blood products if there's an emergency such as a hemorrhage? Would this hospital have adequate supplies of my blood type?
- Complications can occur at any hour of the day or night. I need to know how the hospital is equipped to handle them. Is there an anesthesiologist in the hospital at all times? If not, how long before one can get to the hospital?
- If for some reason my doctor isn't able to get to the hospital for my delivery, is there an obstetrician on call in the hospital for these types of situations?
- Is there a perinatologist or a pediatrician in the hospital at all times?
- Are there residents at the hospital? Are they always supervised by a board-eligible or board-certified obstetrician?
- Once I give birth, who evaluates my baby?
- Is there a neonatal intensive care unit?
- Does the unit have the ability to resuscitate and stabilize the baby in the delivery room?
- In a life-threatening emergency for mother and baby, who is saved first? (This is an important question to ask if you are giving birth at a faith-based hospital.)
- Are radiology and pharmacy services available 24/7?
- What does "on call" mean at the hospital? (Remember, there are no national or state rules regarding what "on call" means. There may not even be a hospital rule requiring "on call" medical staff to stay within 30 minutes of the hospital.)
- If genetic testing indicates a high probability that my baby will be born with devastating problems, does hospital policy preclude me from terminating the pregnancy?

Don't Hate, Hydrate!
By Justinne Lou Go, RND
IT WAS one of the first things ever created in this world. It occupies majority of this planet. It is responsible for 60 per cent of our body weight. Wouldn't you wonder why this essential element — water — is so perennial and yet many of us take it for granted?
We all know that water is a basic need; so basic such that we can forego the consumption of food for weeks and yet we cannot survive without water within just three to four days.
Wouldn't you think that our bodies are more closely connected to the earth than we think? Just as people haphazardly leave the garbage around and these end up polluting our waters, if we do not care for our bodies by hydrating ourselves adequately, we will end up a wasteland full of toxins as well.
I know of a person who says she hates water (so, she only drinks juice or flavored water). And I wouldn't be surprised if there are more like her. In fact, I used to be so "conservative" in drinking water that I would only drink 500 ml for a whole day (which is, fortunately, the minimum requirement for the kidney to still function efficiently but still not advisable). I just couldn't seem to tolerate drinking so much water because I'd feel full or "bloated" or slightly dizzy if I drink "too much." But, since I learned about the role of water in our bodies and what happens if we don't drink enough (kidney insufficiency, or worse, failure) during my Anatomy and Physiology class, I was frightened enough to start working on the habit of drinking enough water every day. I bought a tumbler with a volume capacity of 500 ml and made it my goal to drink 2 bottles worth in the morning and later in the day.
Eventually, the habit was developed and now I can effortlessly drink two liters of water a day. I noticed that my skin was clearer, I was less constipated, had more energy (no daytime fatigue) and I could concentrate better!
Here are some of the top reasons why you should load up on enough water every day:
Hydration. The billions of cells in our body are made up of water, thus they need it for optimal function. Cells that are not hydrated well enough can become weak leading to a compromised immune system, making you vulnerable to illnesses. Water also acts as a lubricant for our joints and supports our organs.
Digestion starts in the mouth through our saliva. Saliva is made up of water and contains the enzyme that can initiate the breakdown of carbohydrates. There are also certain vitamins that are specifically absorbed with water (and others with fat). The water-soluble vitamins are the B vitamins and Vitamin C. Water also helps dissolve soluble fibers to promote bowel movement.
Probably the most important role of water, it is needed most by the kidneys and liver to remove wastes from the body. And the wastes from our body are removed in the form of sweat, urine and stool.
Temperature regulator.
Sweating is our body's way of regulating its temperature by releasing heat in the form of condensation. In cooler temperatures, the body also keeps blood away from the surface to keep our bodies insulated.
Dehydration is no joke.
A child left in a car without ventilation or an athlete exercising hard in extreme weather can both die within a few hours if they are not able to keep themselves hydrated. Even mild dehydration can cause dizziness, daytime fatigue, and being unable to concentrate.
So, how can you tell if you're dehydrated? What goes in must come out. Check your urine. If it's an apparent yellow, you're definitely not drinking enough water. Light yellow urine would be the ideal hydration indicator. Check your body weight and be sensitive to thirst cues as well. Mild dehydration is indicated by a loss of two percent body weight. Never ignore thirst and the urge to pee. Just cooperate with your kidneys (and your brain)!
Since there are several factors (body size and composition, gender, age, physical activity) that can determine one's daily fluid requirement, it is best to ask a Nutritionist-Dietitian exactly how much water you need to drink.
If the idea of drinking water still doesn't warm up to you for now, why don't you try this refreshing agua fresca recipe:
Watermelon Mint Agua Fresca
Makes 4 cups
4 cups water (or sparkling water!)
2 cups Watermelon, cubed
1 whole Lemon (or 10 pcs calamansi), sliced
¼ cup Mint leaves
Ice, to serve
Add the watermelon cubes, lemon slices, and mint leaves to the water in a pitcher or dispenser. Leave to soak (in the fridge or at room temp) for at least 20 minutes and serve with ice.
Note: You can also blend the fruits and add a teaspoon of stevia syrup or agave nectar and serve with ice and mint leaves.

CHICAGO – Fact or fiction is a current debate in news programming, especially as people naturally digest "the news" that makes them comfortable. A new five-episode web series created by filmmaker Ashton Swinford, "Miss Information," is a satire-oriented show that seeks to entertain and educate viewers on the bias, fake news and bot infiltration that litters social media.

Longtime Valley Streamer Sandra Deeple, who escaped Nazi Germany and served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, celebrated her 100th birthday on Sept. 14.
After fleeing to England, Deeple volunteered with the RAF and served in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force Y-Service intelligence branch. After the war, Deeple and her husband, Ted, raised five daughters and became American citizens in the 1970s, moving to Valley Stream where she has lived for more than 40 years.
Deeple is known for her charity and love of animals, according to her family.
"To her family, Sandra is everything good," they said in a statement. "She is defined by characteristics that we should all emulate: constant humility, deep intellect and curiosity, boundless strength and unwavering integrity."
"We may have to remain socially-distant, but we can certainly still celebrate Sandra's birthday with her — so have a bit of marzipan, dance away to big band music, and wish Sandra a happy birthday however you can."

That sounds like a great idea
I don't know if this video from Norwich Cathedral has been posted yet?
This is the nearest cathedral organ to us - sounds lovely. :)
This is the organ of St Nicholas, parish church of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk - about 3 miles away from our house.
They only started calling it 'Yarmouth Minster' in the last year or two, and it grates a little, as I'm from York originally, where they have a Minster that is worthy the name. :)
But it's nice to have the video and see the young man having a go on this organ and using the stops.
Enjoyed the last 2 post of the organs near you. Thanks for posting.

Commission agrees to cut subbie rate
Australian Industry Group and big-name operators including Toll and CEVA win fight to cut sub-contractor rateBy Brad Gardner
The pay rate for some sub-contractors will be cut by almost 2 percent after the Australian Industry Group won a legal bid to amend a contract determination.
The NSW Industrial Relations Commission ruled in favour of an application to reduce remuneration by 1.97 percent for sub-contractors who work under the Transport Industry – Car Carriers Contract Determination.
Using witnesses from Toll, Advanced Car Carriers and CEVA Logistics, the AI Group argued sub-contractors were benefiting from an inflated rate because fuel prices had fallen 18.15 percent since the rate was last adjusted in April.
"Calculations at that time were based on the relevant cost components as at September 2008," Commissioner Peter Connor says.
The 1.97 percent cut took effect on August 13, after Connor rejected a request from the Transport Workers Union (TWU) to dismiss the application.

Prosecutor: Fotis Dulos violated release by taking items from Jennifer Dulos' memorial
STAMFORD — Fotis Dulos has been accused of violating the terms of his release by removing items from a memorial for his estranged wife on his way back from the grocery store.
State's Attorney Richard Colangelo filed a request Wednesday for a judge to modify Fotis Dulos' conditions of release on $6 million bond after he was seen last week getting out of his car and removing the items.
Sources said the memorial was placed at the end of Jefferson Crossing, a private road in Farmington consisting of homes Fotis Dulos' company developed. Fotis and Jennifer Dulos lived there until she left for New Canaan with their five children when she filed for divorce in 2017.
Fotis Dulos is on house arrest at 4 Jefferson Crossing since he was charged this month with murder, felony murder and kidnapping in his wife's death. Fotis Dulos was approved to go grocery shopping last Friday when Colangelo said he was seen stopping at the memorial.
Colangelo wants Stamford Superior Court Judge John Blawie to modify the conditions of release "as he is not complying" with the court's orders.
Fotis Dulos, whose movement is tracked by an electronic monitor, can only leave his home for court appearances, church and other court-approved activities. Colangelo is hoping to get the judge to place Fotis Dulos on full house arrest, which would further restrict his activities, sources said.
"He got out of his car on the way home? Seriously?" defense attorney Norm Pattis said. "We need to get this trial on as quickly as possible to put an end to this nonsense."
Pattis is expected to waive his client's right to a probable cause hearing when he returns to court Thursday. Pattis said Tuesday the defense strategy has changed and they want to quickly move toward a trial.
Fotis Dulos was arrested twice in 2019 on two counts of tampering with evidence and one count of hindering prosecution in connection with the May 24 disappearance.
After he was charged this month with murder, arrest and search warrants have revealed a bloody scene was found in the garage of his estranged wife's Welles Lane home the night she was reported missing.
Fotis Dulos, 52, and his former girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, were seen around the same time dumping bags in Hartford that were later found to contain Jennifer Dulos' blood and clothing, according to arrest warrants.
Fotis Dulos was also linked to a pickup truck owned by one of his employees that police say he drove to and from New Canaan on the day of the homicide, arrest warrants said. Police later found Jennifer Dulos' blood on one of the seats, the arrest warrants said.
Troconis, 45, is also on house arrest after being charged with conspiracy to commit murder, two counts of tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution. Fotis Dulos' close friend and former lawyer, Kent Mawhinney, 54, has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder and is being held in lieu of $2 million bond.

If you're a Brownie Guider, I'm going to guess that you already know that Brownies love drama. This meeting was a good mix of experimenting with creativity and a chance to play.
- Program Area: Experiment and Create
- Theme: Art Studio
- Activities: Unit's Own Art Studio and What is it? (we didn't actually do What is it, but it is similar to what we did do and it fits the time).
6:30 – Arrival Game – Girl's Choice (picked the week before) Line tag, I think.
6:40 – Brownie Circles – off to your corners for attendance. This time we also asked them to discuss How does a good audience behave? How does a bad audience behave?
6:50 – Brownie Ring
7:00 – Program – talk about being an audience. Think about: How do you respond if you are enjoying a performance (cheer, yay, bravo)? What about if you don't like it (bad example – boo, hiss and good examples – polite applause – constructive criticism)? How do you watch a performance (bad manners, good manners).
7:05 – Warm up – let's act like animals. Be a cat. Be a snake. Be an Owl.
7:15 – Puppet Play – I've got a bag of Ikea Finger Puppets and we gave each girl a puppet. (You could make your own puppets – stick puppets would be easiest – download a template or have the girls make their own). Sitting in a circle we went through some exercises:
- Step 1 (2-3 minutes) Individual activity – ask the girls to spend some time getting to know their puppet. Introduce yourself to the puppet. Think about: what is its name? How old is it? Is the puppet fun to be with?
- Step 2 As a group, girls think about how they could convey emotion, show activity and demonstrate feeling for the puppet? Happy? Sad? Dancing? Scared?
- Step 3 – go around and introduce your puppet if you like.
- The activity went a little faster than I thought so the girls played for about 8 minutes. At the end of the playtime, we reconvened and did the introductions again – They had had more time to make friends with the puppets so the intros were much more detailed.
7:35 – Tableau Vivant/Family Portrait Activity. This is from my sister who is a primary school teacher. This was very successful and man did they love it. We moved through Jill's instruction – started with individual activities, and then quickly moved to groups where we gave them a phrase or topic to make into a scene. We were able to do two sessions and it was a joy to watch.
- Have a list of activities on hand:
Practicing Karate, Eating Spaghetti, Climbing a mountain, Flying a kite, Feeding a baby, Building a snowman, Feeding ducks, Making Pizza, Driving a race car, Walking on a tightrope, Rowing a boat, Lifting Weights, Raking leaves, At the zoo, Making a sandcastle, Swimming in the ocean, Playing on the computer, Making pancakes, Watching a scary movie, Washing dishes, Performing an operation, Opening an umbrella, Marching in a parade, Skiing, Putting up a tent
7:55 – Closing and Goodnight.
Review – this went very well and the girls loved having some time to just play. The Tableau Vivant activity had a bonus win for us – we've got three painfully shy/nonverbal girls in our unit. There was no talking and that suited our girls nicely. We're probably going to do this through the year. They had a lot of fun (and everyone was present so we don't have to explain it to anyone).

FLIC Luminaries LLC has a philosophy of trying to find the most cost-effective shipping methods for our customers. Usually, we partially sudsidize the cost of shipping in order to reduce the cost of shipping to our customers. The cost of shipping is high because of the size of our boxes.
For online standard retail customers, we offer both UPS and USPS as our shipping carriers whenever possible. Some items are limited to a single carrier due to size and weight restrictions, especially if we do not have appropriate shipping containers for certain carriers.
For larger shipments, we have the possibility of using freight shipping companies for pallet orders.
Under certain conditions, we can use specific customer shipping accounts as negotiated with the customer.
Under typical shipping situations, we do not extend insurance coverage on orders, unless specified (and paid for) by customer.
Under typical shipping situations, we send merchandise through trackable shipping and pass tracking numbers to the customer.
Customers desiring to apply specific shipping instructions must do so at the time of ordering and provide specific information with order. In most situations, those specified shipping instructions will be written on the shipping container (or containers).
It is not our policy to charge handling fees on any orders (or any hidden fees). In general use, we find this strategy to be questionable ethics.
It is our goal to provide our customers with the lowest possible shipping options. In most situations, we actually subsidize some of the cost of shipping to our customers in order to maintain customer satisfaction.
If you have further questions or concerns about our shipping policy, please feel free to contact us:

N. Bosso, A. Gugliotta & A. Somà
A 1:5 scale roller-rig has been recently realized at Politecnico di Torino for the simulation of railway dynamics. In this work it is shown that it is possible to reproduce the braking dynamics of a railway vehicle on the roller rig. For this purpose a disk-brake braking system has been designed that can be installed on the existing bogie. The inertia of the vehicle can easily be simulated adding inertia to the rollers, so that the braking distance can be evaluated on the basis of the angular displacement of the rollers. Design and optimisation of the system has been carried out with the aid of a numerical multibody model, in which different friction laws have been implemented. The simulations have been performed varying the running conditions (friction coefficient, axle load, velocity). Keywords: wheel, rail, friction, roller-rig. 1 Introduction A roller-rig is a test bench for railway vehicles, where the track is replaced by a pair of rollers for each wheelset of the vehicle. At Politecnico di a reduced scale roller rig (1:4 -1:5) Torino has been realized to perform dynamic simulations on a single wheelset or on an entire bogie. The realization of reduced scale models, lead to evident benefits in terms of costs of realization of the test rig and of the prototypes used to perform the tests. On the other hand it is necessary to use adequate similitude model to obtain, from the scaled results, an estimation of the behaviour of the real vehicle. Several models proposed in literature have been analysed and compared [1], and the vehicle has been designed according the similitude law proposed by Jaschinski [2].

Is there a quicker way to access Fast Dials other then going through the Applications button and then selecting the Personal Fast Dials. Can I use one of my remaining programmable feature keys to directly access the Fast Dial list. To me the scrollable fast dials list provides a much better user interface over the Speed Dial list that you have to remember the list number to use. I'm looking for an option where my users select 1 button or softkey to access a scrollable list that contains text discriptions of who you want to call. I'm open to suggestions.
I logged a TAC case on this and was told that it wasn't possible to do this.
I got it figured out. At least what I needed. Just created a new phone buttom template(copy Standard 9951 SIP) and change button 5 from Speed Dial to Service URL type. On the Phone Config / Related Links / Add/Update Service URL Buttons.
Programmable Buttom 5(on left) now says Address Book which then pulls up the scrollable Personal Fast Dials List. It appears to work on-hook and off-hook.

Spotlight Summary by Renzo Shamey
Optical engineering of polymer materials and composites for simultaneous color and thermal management
A field of research that has gained a significant amount of attention in recent years involves the development of sustainable products with tailored optical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Material degradation in the environment is due to photo-oxidation and exposure to UV radiation as well as microorganisms. Owing to its morphology and high crystallinity, polyethylene (PE), and especially the ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) variety, exhibits stability to microbial growth and is considered non-biodegradable under natural environmental conditions. This paper examines engineering approaches involving semi-crystalline UHMWPE films. These films demonstrate high mechanical and thermal functionalities and, in contrast with other conductive materials such as metals or carbon, are lightweight and have low cost. The authors discuss the fabrication and characterization of a family of organic-inorganic UHMWPE composite films and examine various methods to shape their functionalities. They examine targeted addition of compounds and selective absorption and phosphorescence to tailor the optical properties of composites across a broad (visible and IR) spectral range. They demonstrate examples of dark or brightly colored composites that exhibit low temperatures under direct illumination by sunlight. They point out that the infrared transparency of polyethylene composites may be modified by inclusion of silica, aluminum oxide, graphite, and tin oxide. These composites may also be utilized in the production of fibers for use in "wearable electronics" or smart textiles. The authors also indicate that the composites may have applications in IR "coloring," heat spreading, and passive cooling via radiation, which can be used to reduce thermal damage. The effect of whitening of the color of the composites due to the addition of TiO2 or other UV attenuators, to offset the photo-discoloration of the colorants, is addressed by adjusting the size of the particles and by reducing the scattering of the visible light. Finally, the authors point out that the inclusion of the colorants in PE films does not mask the NIR signature of the composite, which is utilized in the recycling process. Overall, while additional research is needed, this paper provides some valuable and exciting insights for researchers interested in fabricating materials that require tailored spectral, mechanical, and thermal properties.

AbstractWhen you open up your presents on your birthday, you probably don't spend a lot of time admiring the wrapping—you'd much rather see what's inside. It can be the same way with the packaging that products come in, but packaging is important for protecting the things we buy as they make their way from the factory to our homes. How much shock force is produced when a box gets dropped accidentally? What kinds of materials work best to protect products from damage? This project can show you how to find out.
The goal of this project is to investigate the effect of material properties on shock levels and protection against shock damage.

Products we use every day come in all shapes and sizes. Most products come in some type of packaging to protect them from damage while they are being transported. Companies spend a lot of money on designing the right package for their product.
This experiment is meant to help you explore how material properties such as hardness and weight can affect shock levels observed during drop testing. The material properties of the product being dropped, the packaging, and the surface it is being dropped onto are all important in determining the amount of shock received. This project is intended to help you understand what types of material make effective and cost effective packaging to protect products from damage.
Terms and Concepts
To do this project, you should do research that enables you to understand the following terms and concepts:
- standard measure for material hardness,
- comparison of hardness for common materials,
- measuring shock amplitudes,
- common packaging materials and their cost.
- Do you think dropping your product on a hard floor from 1 foot would cause more damage than dropping your product on a carpeted floor from 4 feet?
- What would be a realistic drop distance for your product to survive during shipping? How about after shipping, once it has been removed from its packaging? For example, is it reasonable to expect a product to withstand a drop of 10 feet?

Materials and Equipment
To do this experiment you will need the following materials and equipment:
- 3 samples of material or an object to be dropped. You may want to use multiple sizes/weights of each of these:
- rubber,
- wood,
- metal,
- styrofoam.
- 3 samples of various surfaces to be dropped on:
- wood,
- concrete,
- foam,
- pillow,
- carpet,
- tile.
- 3 samples of material to be used in packaging:
- bubble wrap,
- packing peanuts,
- tissue,
- styrofoam,
- plastic filled with air,
- newspaper.
- packaging container (choose 1):
- cardboard box,
- large plastic (i.e. Ziploc) bag,
- shipping envelope.
- tape measure or ruler,
- tape,
- chair or ladder,
- 1–2 resettable shock indicators (50 G level) search Web for these, example brand names are "Drop-N-Tell" and "TelaDrop" (see Variations section for possible alternatives).
- Lab notebook
Experimental Procedure
- Set up your materials and equipment for testing.
- Determine the material(s) and size(s) of product you plan to drop.
- Identify the 3-4 surfaces you plan to use to drop the product onto. You can choose to go to the location of the surface or, if it is portable (e.g., a small sample of carpet, wood, etc.), then collect the samples and bring them to one central location for testing.
- Create a table listing the variables (material, size, and surface).
- Secure the tape measurer or ruler in a vertical position against a non-movable surface like a wall. (This will allow you do your experiment using two hands.)
- Tape the resettable shock indicators to one side of the first product you are dropping.
- The shock indicator is a small device which has two modes: active and inactive. The indicator is inactive when no dark arrows are showing on either side of the sticker with the product name. This mode tells you that the indicator has not detected the shock level for which you are looking. The indicator is activated when it feels an impact at or above the level you are looking for—you will know that it has been activated when one or both of the dark arrows appear. For the TeleDrop brand, to reset the device to its inactive position, insert a pencil into the small hole on the side of the indicator, right where the arrow is pointing. Each arrow has its own reset button.
- Predict the outcome of the drop testing.
- Formulate a hypothesis about how you expect the material type, material size, or surface type to affect the distance the product can be dropped before it activates the shock indicator.
- For example, your hypothesis might be "I think a smaller piece of X when dropped on a surface of Y will activate the shock indicator at the shortest distance from the surface."
- Determining the shock threshold of product on each of the various surfaces.
- Take your first product and first surface and drop the product from 1 foot above the surface.
- Verify whether shock indicator was activated. If it was activated, record the activation height in a table in your lab notebook like the Data Table. If the shock indicator was not activated, then increase the drop height and repeat the experiment.
- You can decide how much to increase the drop height by, but make sure you use the same intervals each time. For example, if the shock indicator fails to activate at 1 foot, and you decide to raise it to 1.5 feet, and it still fails to activate, the next test level must be 2 feet. This way you'll be increasing the activation height by the same interval (6 inches) each time.
- Continue until you get to an activation height where the shock indicator is activated. Record the activation height in your data table.
- Repeat the experiment with the remaining surfaces, making sure you reset shock indicator each time it is activated.
- Repeat the entire experiment with second and then third products selected. Test against all three surfaces.

- Summarize your findings and compare them to your predicted results. What did you learn?
- Predict the outcome of testing with different packaging materials.
- Formulate a hypothesis about how you expect different packaging material to affect the distance the product can be dropped before it activates the shock indicator.
- For example, your hypothesis might be, "I think using bags filled with air will protect the product at higher drop distance than using tissue."
- Test various packing materials.
- Choose the packaging materials you will be using.
- Create a table for recording the packaging material, the distance dropped, the surface it is dropped on, and whether the shock indicator was activated or not.
- Choose one of your product samples from your first experiment, place it in your packaging container, and fill the container with the first packaging material.
- Make sure that the packaging material completely surrounds the product.
- Tape the packaging container closed.
- Choose one surface to perform your experiment on (perhaps the 'worst case' from your first experiment).
- Drop your package from the same distance that had previously activated the product in the first part of this experiment. Record whether the shock indicator was activated or not.
- If not, continue to increase the distance and repeat the experiment until the shock indicator is activated. Record your results after each drop.
- Repeat the experiment with other packaging materials and record the results.
- Summarize your findings and compare them to your predicted results. What did you learn?

Industrial EngineerYou've probably heard the expression "build a better mousetrap." Industrial engineers are the people who figure out how to do things better. They find ways that are smarter, faster, safer, and easier, so that companies become more efficient, productive, and profitable, and employees have work environments that are safer and more rewarding. You might think from their name that industrial engineers just work for big manufacturing companies, but they are employed in a wide range of industries, including the service, entertainment, shipping, and healthcare fields. For example, nobody likes to wait in a long line to get on a roller coaster ride, or to get admitted to the hospital. Industrial engineers tell companies how to shorten these processes. They try to make life and products better. Finding ways to do more with less is their motto. Read more
Materials Scientist and EngineerWhat makes it possible to create high-technology objects like computers and sports gear? It's the materials inside those products. Materials scientists and engineers develop materials, like metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, that other engineers need for their designs. Materials scientists and engineers think atomically (meaning they understand things at the nanoscale level), but they design microscopically (at the level of a microscope), and their materials are used macroscopically (at the level the eye can see). From heat shields in space, prosthetic limbs, semiconductors, and sunscreens to snowboards, race cars, hard drives, and baking dishes, materials scientists and engineers make the materials that make life better.

- An alternative to using the shock indicators would be to use:
- an egg, or
- an impact-activated sound toy, or
- an impact-activated lighted toy (you would need to be able to see through the packaging to know if the light was activated).
- Determine how small the product packaging can be and still protect the product at the desired drop distance—packaging does cost money.
- Renewable resources and packaging. Do research on the materials commonly used in packaging. Which materials can be made from renewable resources? Can renewable materials effectively protect against shock? Would using renewable materials add to the cost (e.g., if more material is needed to provide effective protection)?

Ex-Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell gets 2 years for corruption
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- After former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was sentenced to two years in prison for corruption, he apologized for his mistakes but says he didn't violate his oath of office and will continue to fight to prove his innocence.
McDonnell made the remarks outside the federal courthouse in Richmond. At his sentencing hearing earlier Tuesday, he told the judge he was a heartbroken and humbled man who let his life get way out of balance.
The judge's punishment was far below the 10 years prosecutors initially wanted, but still more than the community service the former governor and hundreds of supporters asked for. McDonnell is to report to prison by Feb. 9. His wife, who was convicted on eight counts of corruption, will be sentenced Feb. 20.

My favorite characters CANNOT catch a break this week. While I'm still in shambles from watching the Red Wedding in the latest episode of 'Game of Thrones', I go to my local comic shop to pick up the new 'Avengers Arena' issue only to find out that one of my top three favorites in that book bit the dust. I shouldn't be surprised that there's some death in this series since that's really what you sign up for when you add it to your pull list, but that doesn't mean that it hurts any less!
The last time we had a discussion about Dennis Hopeless' heart-wrenching young hero story, we learned the Arcade's motivation behind creating this new Murder World in issue seven. It was a nice buffer issue after Anachronism really pushed the game into serious play when he beheaded fellow Braddock Academy student Kid Briton in issue six.
After that, the aptly named arc 'Game On' began. With all the combatants gathered in the final safe zone on Murder World, tensions are high when some new secrets come to the forefront and are revealed to the group. For example, Chase is outed as the new Darkhawk and Apex is revealed to be sharing a body with her twin brother, Tim, who briefly takes over the body and fills everyone in on just how crazy his sister is.
Now, in the newest installment of the series, Katy regains control of her body and Apex runs wild on the remaining heroes once again. Because of her technopath powers, she has control of the recently deceased Juston's Sentinel and Deathlocket, which give her the upper hand against everyone who has teamed up to take her down. But the biggest gun in this fight belongs to the magic-wielder Nico Minoru of the Runaways, so we have a classic science vs. magic showdown on our hands.
Before I get to the whole ripping my heart out part of the review, there is something that I've noticed that I don't think that I've talked about yet. X-23 is trapped here on Murder World with her companions and the object is for only one hero to remain standing. Well, Laura has a healing factor akin to Wolverine's. How is she not going to win this thing? In this issue, she's the first line of defense against Apex before Nico does her thing and she gets royally whipped. Though she's down now, she's going to get up soon and be back to 100%. This is probably going to work out in the battle against Apex, but after that, it's only a matter of time until she's the one standing in the winner's circle. Unless Hopeless has something up his sleeve to curb that mutant ability of hers, then I'm really curious about how anyone except X-23 can win this.I chose a funny panel to include here to alleviate the pain of the ending.
With all that out of the way, I'm about to get a bit spoilery because I can't really talk about this issue without addressing this. So once again, there are SPOILERS AHEAD!
Nico puts up one hell of a fight against Apex. Things are pretty evenly matched between them, even if it's a three on one fight. But then the wild card is revealed to be Darkhawk, who is now Nico's Runaways teammate, semi-love interest, and friend Chase Stein. Since his powers are technology based, Apex takes control of him and uses him to kill Nico!
Cue the heartbreak now. From the very beginning, I was upset that Nico and Chase were included in this book because their chances of survival were really slim. And now for one to fall at the hands of the other is just brutal. I appreciated that her last act was a heroic one, but seeing the last two pages where Nico is crawling to her staff takes the cake. Overwhelming sadness.
While the fanboy inside of me is crying at that outcome of this issue, the writer in me appreciates the storytelling. Hopeless isn't killing these kids for no reason. It's all a part of the greater story, so each death has purpose. When Chase comes to and snaps out of Apex's control, there's going to be hell to pay. That's something that I totally look forward to seeing.
Though, I wouldn't go as far as to say that this is one of my favorite books that I'm picking up right now, I'd say that it falls somewhere in the middle as a book that I'm enjoying when I can afford to pick up, but if I miss an issue by a day or so, I'm not too torn up about it. However, because I need to see how Chase takes this atrocity, I don't think I'll be missing the next one even an hour after the store opens.

Loosely talking, adaptive platforms are designed to accommodate, to evolve to, chang ing environmental stipulations while preserving functionality pursuits. through the years, the idea of adaptive platforms advanced from particularly easy and intuitive suggestions to a fancy multifaceted thought facing stochastic, nonlinear and limitless dimensional structures. This ebook offers a primary creation to the idea of adaptive platforms. The ebook grew out of a graduate direction that the authors taught numerous instances in Australia, Belgium, and The Netherlands for college kids with an engineering and/or mathemat ics historical past. after we taught the path for the 1st time, we felt that there has been a necessity for a textbook that will introduce the reader to the most facets of variation with emphasis on readability of presentation and precision instead of on comprehensiveness. the current ebook attempts to serve this want. we think that the reader may have taken a simple direction in linear algebra and mul tivariable calculus. except the fundamental techniques borrowed from those components of arithmetic, the publication is meant to be self contained.

Assume moreover that the high frequency gain, indicative of the initial reaction of the system, is positive. Such systems can be stabilized by positive high (arbitrarily large) gain output feedback. This may be understood from the observation that the root loci converge towards the open loop zeros or to negative infinity along the real axis for positive output feedback gain. This example is studied in detail in Chapter 6. For such systems we propose an adaptive scalar gain output feedback strategy in which we allow the gain to increase as long as the output is non-zero.
For polynomials in lR[~, r-I] a similar technique exists. Let PI (~, ~-I), p2(~, ~-I) E lR[~, ~-I] be such that deg PI (~, ~-I) ~ deg P2(~' ~-I). Long division can now be done as follows. Write both PI (~, ~-I) and P2 (~, ~-I ) such that all terms appear in descending powers of ~. Take the term of P2(~, ~-I) with highest power of ~ as leading term for the division. Alternatively, determine kl' k2 such that ~kl Pi = Pi(~) E lR[~] and such that Pi(O) =1= O. Notice that the second requirement implies that the degrees of Pi(~' ~-I) equal the normal degrees.
Although an obvious statement, it took more than 30 years from the birth of adaptive control/signal pro• cessing before the importance of this statement was realized. 4. 9 The MIT rule can be formulated in more general circumstances in _ which several parameters of the plant model need to be estimated. 10 The above control scheme has been implemented with success in the position control loop for the antennae in the Australia Telescope. There the _ gain variation is due to the change in antenna position.

(Advice I need to get better at following.)
My wedding is next month. We're planning it and paying for everything ourselves, and so there's been lots of logistical crap to figure out and a bunch of loose ends to tie up. The stress of it all PLUS normal stressors like work and life in general caught up to me [seemingly] out of nowhere. It hit me hard, friends. It hit me hard.
On top of all of the "to-dos" and general anxieties, I also had feelings of guilt. I'd been feeling like I've been an inattentive daughter/friend/sis/partner because my focus has been on this one big thing. My solution, of course, was to write all of this down. This practice usually suits me fine, but it just didn't cut it. I did not feel better. I just felt alone and chaotic.
So, one day last week, I reached a sort-of boiling point and decided to call my mom. I cried into the phone and expressed everything to her. She calmly and lovingly told me that I needed to stop feeling guilty and that the people I love understand what I've got on my plate at this moment in time. She told me that what I felt was perfectly normal, temporary, and that I needed to stop being so hard on myself. At the end, she even added that from her point of view, I've been dealing extremely well with all of this wedding-related stress. (Bless her heart.)
A journal or list can't say that kind of stuff to me. They can't give me that type of attention and comfort. They can't give me that additional point of view so clearly. I needed to hear all those things from someone I trust.
I'm not sure why, time and time again, I let myself forget how important it is to share what I'm feeling with others. I'm better at it than I used to be, but it's still a work-in-progress situation. Perhaps writing this post and having it floating out in the ether will help me to remember.

LPS H141 Honors Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Winter 2015)
Course Description: Together with special relativity, quantum mechanics makes the most accurate empirical predictions we have had from a physical theory. But there are two related puzzles: (1) on a strict reading, quantum mechanics is logically inconsistent and (2) even if one can fix its internal problems, it is unclear how to make quantum mechanics consistent with relativity. Our strategy will be to consider the empirical phenomena that led to the adoption of quantum mechanics, consider the theory and how it accounts for the phenomena, then turn our attention to the puzzles and a number of proposed resolutions. Whatever else we may learn, it will be clear that the physical world does not accord well with our common-sense or philosophical intuitions.
