TAMK Ambassadors come from various degree programmes and national backgrounds, allowing them to showcase the TAMK student experience from many different viewpoints and create a truly international experience for visitors.
Let's start with introducing you to Tengfei Liu, an exchange student from China who studies Paper Technology at Tampere University of Applied Sciences. Here's how Tengfei describes himself: "I am an outgoing person, fond of getting to make new friends. I really like TAMK and appreciate this great chance to be an ambassador of TAMK. Let me show you around and introduce you to our amazing TAMK. Are you ready?"
From China also comes Dandan Hou, another one of our exchange students. She really enjoys her stay in Finland and the beautiful nature here. "Hi! I'm Dandan Hou and I study Chemical and Process Engineering at TAMK. I really enjoy my stay in Finland. I love forests and nature. I like hiking, running and sleeping. Sometimes I go hiking in the forest with my friends. I really enjoy it. But I have never been to the forest alone, because it's easy for me to get lost."
Our next ambassador is Qinning Wan and he's also an exchange student from China. Qinning has a background in Applied Chemistry back in his home university and he chose to study Paper Technology with us. You could say Qinning has succeeded in adopting a Finnish lifestyle, given his hobbies: "I like playing musical instruments and watching drums TV in my spare time. Besides, swimming is also one of my habits, which is a really exciting workout for keeping fit. I am pretty interested to be a TAMK ambassador and introduce specific information about TAMK to those who need it."
We'll stick for a bit to the biggest continent in this world, but this time with a different country, Vietnam. Linh Nguyen is doing her degree in Energy and Environmental Engineering and she is on a mission: "I am a 19-year-old cute Vietnamese girl. I love forests, animals and TAMK! TAMK is my sweet home. I want to tell everyone about its beauty! Let's 'TAMK' together!"
Yen Bui comes from Vietnam as well and she is an International Business Tutor Student. She describes herself as a catholic and daydreamer and is very passionate about dancing: "I love dancing the most. Hip-hop dance is the best thing I ever do in my life. It's never wrong to say that music can help people to heal their souls. I have started dancing when I was 14, and from that time on, music has always been my best friend."
We're getting closer to home, but not until we greet one of our neighbours. Ivan Denisenko is a first-year student of the Energy and Environmental Engineering double degree programme. He's originally from Vyborg, Russia and he's the right guy to contact for musical collaborations. "Active and willing to support different kind of social work, I decided to join the TAMK Ambassadors team to bring some of my ideas to life and also help TAMK with my own labour and enthusiasm. More than that, to me it's a great opportunity to get to know many people, both those who are with me in this team and those who I will help as part of my duties. I also write music, sing and play the guitar, so if you have any interesting musical cooperation ideas or need a person for a band, contact me at any time."
We now reached home with our last, but not the least TAMK Ambassador, Elina Eskola. Elina is a Business Information Systems student who enjoys travelling, exploring new places and meeting new people. And she has quite an unusual and interesting favourite hobby... "I love spending my time either playing, reading or doing various different sports. Aerial fitness is my favourite."
Best of luck to our TAMK Ambassadors and we can't wait to hear more about their duties and achievements!

text: A wandering star is a poetic term for a planet, a wondering star is a planet that may have the ability to think through sensing. Over the past few years, we have seen the emergence of very large sensor networks that can sometimes scale to the size of a planet. I'll try to feature examples of these as time go by but I am also interested in how these sensor networks will allow us to do new things by merging data from each other. Of belated interest, I will include the measurement techniques and theoretical advances that allow us to make better sense of the gigantic amount of data produced by these sensors. From a societal standpoint, these networks can also pose a series of new issues that were never important enough in the past. I hope you enjoy Wondering Star.

Welcome to my New Blog
So I have decided to start a new blog. For readers of my other blog you may be familiar with some of the projects and gadgets I like to try. If you haven't seen it yet check out my site at this link (Click here). My other site is dedicated to wildlife and photography so some things seem out of place on that site. This is why I have started a new site, to post the gadgety, electronic and other projects that I take an interest in. So stay tuned while I come up with some posts to put on here.

Is your website mobile friendly?
Test it here by going to Google's free mobile responsive test tool: www.google.ca/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/
Don't feel embarrassed if your website fails because we have tested our competitors websites and many of them fail on this test or in one case when we checked out their website on our mobile phone their images did not load properly and in this particular case it is one of the largest digital media companies in Canada.
Remember, your website is not about "flashy" over done graphics that strut your ego all over the internet. It is about the visitors experience, providing them with what they need to know as quickly as possible about your business so they can make the choice within a millisecond that you are a company they want to contact regarding their needs.
If your website is not mobile friendly, Google will reduce your search score from mobile devices!
Why do you care? The largest user trend on the internet these days is that there is a huge shift in online activity away from computers to mobile devices.

For all of you non-philadelphians, I am sure you are wondering about the Magic Gardens. The Philadelphia Magic Gardens is located on South Street. It is a mosaic folk art gallery that showcases the work of Isaiah Zagar. The Magic Gardens is his largest artwork and took 17 years to complete. His murals can be found throughout the city. I see Mr. Zagar roaming the neighborhood. I also live behind his alleged ex-mistress! He is an odd looking man. I can't imagine what was going thorough his head when he designed some of these pieces. His pieces are very strange, but in a beautiful way. It's as if you were walking into his dreams and nightmares. He uses some unusual pieces in his work such as bike wheels, glass bottles, pottery, mosaic tiles and porcelain statues. There are also lots of naked people and strange faces in his work.
Before I show you my pictures from the garden, I want to share Saturday's picture of the day with you.
Feb 26, 2011

Bad Ass Kitty
|We have a love hate relationship.
This little kitty's name is Dexter. He belongs to my friend. He was my last hope for my photo of the day because I did not pick up my camera all day. He was very cooperative and cute.
Now onto the photos from the Magic Gardens!
I am going to apologize now because my husband is in almost every photo. You may get tired of seeing his face or the back of his hat. I know I do!
|Random kids running through the Gardens
|Notice the scale
Now, I would like to present the photo of the day. This picture is bad ass. My husband has always wanted an awesome picture in front of this garage. It is the coolest garage door I have ever seen.
Feb 27, 2011
Dun na na na na na na na Chapmannnnn!!!!!
Once again, my husband's face didn't make the photo of the day, but he still thinks this is the coolest picture ever.

Several "American Idol" alums have gone on to have successful careers in the Christian music industry and season 11 finalist Jeremy Rosado is on course to do just that. Rosado says his come back to Jesus moment made him realize he could "rewind" and start new.
The "American Idol" favorite was highly praised by judge Jennifer Lopez during the singing competition. Lopez even coined the name "Jer-Bear" for him. But Rosado was eliminated before making it the top 10, and after a taste a fame he was left to figure out what was next.
Rosado released his new EP Rewind on Friday during a large release party held by his church, Free Life Chapel in Lakeland, Florida. He says what kept him going the years following "American Idol" was God's grace to help him start over.
"I've found myself telling God so many times, 'If I could only rewind time and change things I've done' or do things I didn't, finding myself feeling stuck from past things," the 25-year-old told The Christian Post. "In an instant when I started writing these songs, I felt God tell me, everyday is a rewind for you, My Grace is enough, it gives you a restart always, and in that moment everything changed for me!"

Autopar's(in trunk) Algorithms
Mostly about the data dependency algorithms in autopar.
Data dependency algorithms under polyhedral model vs. normal algorithms
Data dependency algorithms in trunk is mostly with I test and Omega test. Both of them are limited. Here is a comparison between them.
- Precise level
- I test (GCD test and Banerjee test): Only evaluates the ability to prove or disprove dependence between statements.
- Omega test: Can give a precise level (Tell which iteration of statements are in dependent), but less precise when there is one or more integer symbolic constant are present.
- Polyhedral dependence: Give the right precision level ( Will tell which iteration of statements are in dependent).
- Triangle loops
- I test and Omega test: Can not handle.
- Polyhedral dependence: Can handle.
- conditionals with boolean expressions of affine inequalities
- I test and Omega test: Can not handle.
- Polyhedral dependence: Can handle.
- Cost
- I test: It cost less and is always preferred because they capture most dependency under a low computational cost.
- Omega test: Worst exponential complexities, but works good in practice.
- Polyhedral dependence: High cost.
Reference: [1] Violated Dependence Analysis by Nicolas Vasilache, Albert Cohen, Cedric Bastoul, Sylvain Girbal.
Practically (Implement in Graphite):
/* FIXME: Need to be added. */
A General Test About Autopar pass in trunk
I test some loops to find out what kinds of simple loops can autopar handle. Because it is an experimental work, so if you find some mistakes, You can contact me(LiFeng) by nemokingdom at gmail dot com.
I test with GRAPHITE disabled with flags:
set args -O2 -fno-graphite-identity -fno-graphite -ftree-parallelize-loops=4 -fdump-tree-parloops-details -fdump-tree-final_cleanup ../../mytest/parloop/par-1.c
I judge if autopar can/cannot handle with dumped file: par-1.c.128t.final_cleanup to see if there are libomp functions.
Loops that autopar can handle
1. One nested and simple loop
2. Nested loops with simple dependency
3. One nested loop with Not-very-simple dependency
Loops that autopar can not handle
1. Nested loop with not-very-simple dependency
This test fails at analyze_overlapping_iterations, yields scev_not_known.
(subscript_dependence_tester (analyze_overlapping_iterations (chrec_a = pretmp.13_2) (chrec_b = {0, +, 1}_2) (overlap_iterations_a = not known ) (overlap_iterations_b = not known ) )
Actually we can find out if there are some dependency between Z[i][j] and Z[j+10][j+11] by some simple test:
0<=i,j,i1,j1<=10 i = j1 + 10 j = i1 + 11
From the equalities above, we can get:
10<=i<=10 11<=j<=10
Where we cannot get such an integer fit both. So there is no data dependency here.
2. Simple loop with if statement
3. Triangle loop
4. Some complicated loops
1 /*case 0: matrix multiplication*/
2 for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++){
3 for (j = 0; j < 1000; j++){
4 Z[i][j] = 0;
5 for (k = 0; k < 1000; k++){
6 Z[i][j]+=X[i][k]*Y[k][j];
7 }
8 }
9 }
11 /*
12 *case 1:Long chain data dependency
13 *A some sort of complicated one
14 */
15 for (i = 1; i < 100; i++)
16 for (j = 1; j < 100; j++){
17 X[i][j] = X[i][j] + Y[i-1][j];
18 Y[i][j] = Y[i][j] + X[i][j-1];
19 }
Puzzled results
Case 0 works while Case 1 not, but it seems that they are almost the same and both have no data dependency.
This bug has been fixed, see middle-end/PR39500
I test with this example but it fails to parrallelized, is this correct?:
Might be enhancement
The code below create thread twice, maybe we can do it only once:
Autopar's Performance
Here is a primary results about autopar's performance.
Attachment is the test result of run-time of loop-parallelization. Mainly include 4 figures.
- One nested loop, number of threads vs. run-time, with not all the code parallel.
- One nested loop, number of threads vs. run-time, almost all code got parallel.
- Two nested loops, with innermost parallel, number of threads vs. run-time. (It got worse after parallel.)
- Two nested loops, with outer loop parallel, number of threads vs. run-time. (It's better).
The 4 figures include comparing of:
- Runtime of openmp directive inserted c code.
- Runtime of Graphite autoparallel c code.
- Runtime of non-parallel c code.

Without a doubt, studio is one of the most important moments of the musical production process. The comfortable working environment and equipments are indispensable in the selection of the studio for us. They should be able to respond to the expectations of the musicians.
Because we basically play acoustical music, we don't need stuffs like high-end amps, drum systems, etc. Quality microphones for the recording section and preferably, the presence of the quality acoustic guitar amps are just ok for us. It is not easy to find quality microphone equipments in most of Kadıköy studios.
In this section we will try to share our studio experiences with you.
We live in the Kadıköy region. Blue Note is an alternative music studio that we had been there for our voice training processes before and often go to rehearsal. At the same time it's a training center. There are two studios on the lower floor, one is large. Especially in 2013, we preferred Blue Note for our rehearsals.

Water is an important commodity in Texas. Much of the water utilized in the industry can be reclaimed at some point in the process. These are a few benefits of reclaiming water that would previously go to waste. By collecting and reprocessing the water used in the industrial process, the industry can improve its image, reduce water waste and save money.
One of the biggest benefits of Water Reclamation Houston TX is that it enhances the industry image about its environmental responsibility. Environmental responsibility is becoming a big attraction to consumers and investors. Industries that have a more responsible image typically have a better image. This can translate into increased sales or improved word of mouth recommendations.
Another benefit of reclaiming water is that there is a reduction in the amount of waste that the industry produces. Because the water is collected and sent to a facility, the industry already has a plan for the used water. This reduces the need for the industry to try and come up with a plan to deal with contaminated water. Since the water is reused rather than disposed of, the industry's waste footprint can shrink significantly.
Water Reclamation Houston TX can also save the company. One of the biggest uses of reclaimed water is for watering plants. For industries that need to make a good impression on potential clients, the landscaping is a part of that. It can take a large amount of water to upkeep such expansive spaces. Using reclaimed water for this purposes can result in a savings on the water bill. Since this water also contains nutrients, the plants get an additional benefit and less money will have to be spent on fertilizer.
Reclaiming water has many benefits that can the industry can capitalize on. One of the major trends that consumers on jumping on the bandwagon for is environmentally-friendly companies. By recycling water, the industry can use this responsible action to impress that on clients and investors. With a few different treatment processes, the final product can be used to enhance the environment. Check out Cahabawater.com for more information on how to recycle the water from your industry.

In gaining Ammirati and its high-profile Burger King Corp. account, Interpublic now stands to lose Fahlgren, a Parkersburg, W.Va.-based shop that counts on McDonald's Corp. co-op business for more than a quarter of its $150 million in billings.
It's also likely Interpublic's McCann-Erickson Worldwide, New York, will be forced to sacrifice the McDonald's co-op work that represents the bulk of specialty unit McCann Universal Group's $53 million in billings.
McDonald's has a total of $90 million to $100 million in billings at Interpublic.
Leo Burnett USA, Chicago, and DDB Needham Worldwide, New York, are the fast-food chain's lead national agencies.
"McDonald's doesn't want to be part of Interpublic" with Burger King in the fold, said one industry executive.
Interpublic CEO Philip Geier Jr. said the holding company is discussing a "management investor buyback" by Fahlgren, but said he didn't know when a deal would be completed. Fahlgren, acquired four years ago, still would be able to use Interpublic agencies for international assistance, he said.
Fahlgren President-CEO Steve Drongowski said the agency is interested in a buyback, but also must consider the needs of its other clients.
A buyback is said to be the only way Fahlgren can keep McDonald's, whose franchisees unexpectedly balked when the Ammirati acquisition was announced last month. Ammirati is now merged with Interpublic's Lintas Worldwide network.
A solution is less clear-cut for McCann-Erickson, where executives are said to be steamed about a forced forfeiture of McDonald's.
McDonald's is a smaller account for Interpublic than Burger King, with annual spending of $160 million. But Big Mac is regarded in the industry as a more devoted client.
Ammirati won Burger King earlier this year. However, it is one of a string of agencies hired in the past decade.
Interpublic made its first post-Ammirati sacrifice early last week by selling a 49% stake in del Rivero, Messianu, Coral Gables, Fla., to rival Omnicom Group, so del Rivero could cinch McDonald's $9 million Hispanic creative account. Castor Advertising, New York, had been Hispanic agency of record; media buying earlier went to Burnett.
Omnicom is said to have paid $5 million to $10 million for del Rivero, which bills about $13 million. The agency will be a unit of DDB Needham.
Ironically, Lintas briefly forgot its own McDonald's affiliations last year. In an unusual move, the agency impetuously placed an ad in The Miami Herald asking to be considered in the fast-food chain's then-review. Lintas was unable to participate because of its connection to Fahlgren.M

February 23, 2009 --Scientists are hoping they have made a major discovery that could possibly end the ritual of the annual flu shot. Researchers are reporting that they have found one pocket of the flu virus that appears to remain static in the multiple strains found around the world every year.
If the research stands up to further testing, the flu vaccine might one day be more like the shots given to ward off measles, mumps and polio. Children and adults would be inoculated once in their lives and have a universal shield against the various strains that hopscotch across the world, even the much feared bird flu.
The vaccine is years off but scientists have begun animal testing to see if it works.

I have been in the industry for over forty years. I started my apprenticeship in 1968 with a Ford Dealership in Canberra and completed training with a Nissan Dealership.
My experience in the motor trade industry is across the full range of automotive services where I served as a mechanic, a leading hand and foreman in dealerships and in service stations and of course running my own mechanical business.
For several years I worked in the transport industry with heavy vehicles but returned to the mechanical trade managing Ogilvie Automotive prior to purchasing the business in 2002.
N and D Auto Services is a long established family business in Mitchell in the Australian Capital Territory. I want to share a little about us.
We pride our business on the following:
- We are a Repco Authorised Service workshop,
- Leveraging the Repco Network to provide a knowledge base & warranty support,
- Trusted reputation, high integrity,
- Telling it like it is,
- No unnecessary up-selling of third-party products,
- Qualified Mechanics,
- The Customer can speak with the mechanic,
- Choice of Customer contact models,

Your Weekly Song Post: 'I Feel Better' by Gotye (2011)
I Feel Better by Australian musician Gotye. Gotye (Wouter De Backer) is multi-instrumental musician originally from Belgium but who now identifies himself as Australian and has been active in the music scene circa 2001. He is also one of the primary members of Melbourne-based pop-band The Basics. I Feel Better is a single off of his latest album Making Mirrors, which was released on August 19th, 2011. I really like the 50's-60's sound he has captured as well as the Catalan-sounding horns at the beginning of the song. If you like what you've heard, than be sure to head to Gotye's official website HERE for more music and artist info.

The time to make it as a footballer is now.
The Premier League has the biggest audience in the world and the biggest reward. This season for the first time the average wage of a premier league player surpassed the £50,000 a week mark. Make it as a footballer and you're set for life, that's the dream.
However, what happens to the players that dream of this goal, and what impact does it have on them?
There are currently 1.5 million boys playing organised youth football within England, they will then filter down into the most elite 12,000 boys who will play in professional academies.
Then from that 1.5 million figure an astonishing reduction happens, only 180 will make it into the top flight and play in the Premier League.
So what does this do to the other 99.88% who dream of making it in the big time? What mental consequences are there for a life under pressure 7 days a week at a professional academy. What does rejection do to the mind, how do players take it?
Find out the current state of the game, and how important awareness of mental health is within the academy system.
A documentary by Dan Dove.

Carmen Miranda would kill for this one! And frankly, I kinda want these for myself.
This gives me the munchies.
I love googly eyes - but this is the first time I've seen them on a manicure!!
This crazy unicorn orgy is probably just for show, but I admire and respect all of the painstaking work to achieve those tiny little creatures...

General PU material that is sold on the market today lacks individuality. Mass production leads to common colors and textures and manufacturers can't seem to distinguish their materials from other mass produced material on the market.
Simplism's Premium Skin is completely original. There are no other products on the market that uses the same materials that are adopted in Simplism's products.
The best feature of the Premium Skin is in its texture. By repeating the staining process, it enhances the depth of color and look due to the grain of the texture. As a result, exquisite shades of color and detailed grain are engraved in every product. In addition to its appearance, our PU material is durable and has a higher tolerance to scuffing and scratches. The soft pleasant textured material is perfect for smartphone cases that are handled everyday.

When researching old records from Hungary, one will come upon the mention of twins in the Latin words of Gemelli (could mean male, or male and female), Gemellae (girl twins) or Gemini. In Hungarian, ikrek (twin), két (as in two infants), kett, kettos or ketts gyermek.
In this record, on July 9th 1756, we see fraternal twins - GEMINI - as it is written in Latin. Although not in this particular example, I always wondered about the popularity of naming fraternal twins, "Adam and Eve" for a boy and girl births or "Peter and Paul" for male twins. I see this naming occurrence in Hungarian and German records, even in baptismal records of twins born to immigrants in America.
There must have been something in the water in this town, Morvaszentjános, in upper Poszony. In this one particular record, in the span of one week, there are THREE more sets of twins born between the 22 Oct and 31 Oct, 1756 week ~ "Catherina & Elisabeth" on 29 Oct; "Barbara & Dorothy" on 31 Oct and "Andreas & ??".
Here is an example of an "Adam and Eve" naming for twins. I frequently wonder about the survival rates for twins so always check ahead in the death records in the same time frame.

What do natural science degrees spread?
All that much an "interdisciplinary" subject, ecological science degrees challenge understudies to consolidate aptitudes and learning from an assortment of distinctive fields. This could mean investigating parts of science, science, material science, geology, Earth and sea life sciences, furthermore sociologies. The thought is to consolidate various points of view and information sources, to develop a more full comprehension of common and human situations.
Hands on work is a critical piece of most ecological science degrees, which frequently incorporate excursions to an assortment of diverse nations and world locales, giving the individuals who study natural science the chance to encounter distinctive living spaces, atmospheres, land arrangements and social orders. You can likewise hope to invest a considerable measure of energy in the lab, figuring out how to complete distinctive sorts of tests and examination. Furthermore, understudies frequently attempt deliberate work in a situation related part, which gives important experience to set them up for future ecological science vocations.
Passage necessities for ecological science degrees
As is valid for all subjects, passage necessities will change between diverse establishments. Notwithstanding, those applying for an undergrad (bachelor's) degree in ecological science can hope to be requested a certificate of optional instruction, incorporating decent evaluations in no less than one of the accompanying related subjects: science, science, financial matters, topography, geography, arithmetic or material science. At expert's level, you'll need finished an important four year college education, either in natural sciences or in one of the subjects specified previously. A few colleges might oblige candidates to go to an up close and personal meeting, and/or to sit a selection test, frequently relying upon national standards.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Travelers Property Casualty said Thursday that rising premiums, new business and investment gains offset catastrophe payouts in its second quarter, propelling revenue and earnings past Wall Street targets.
Travelers TAP.A, +1.96% TAP reported second-quarter net income of $441.2 million, or 44 cents a share, up from $332 million, or 33 cents, earned in the year-earlier period. This was above the average analyst forecast as compiled by Reuters Research of 39 cents a share.
Revenue rose 11 percent to $3.73 billion, ahead of the $3.52 billion expected by analysts.
The insurer said the results were driven by strong underwriting performance, lower charges for prior-year reserve development and investment gains versus losses a year ago, which were partially offset by higher weather-related catastrophe losses.
Commenting on the ongoing asbestos liability issue, the company said: "We continue to support a legislative solution to the asbestos litigation crisis that ensures fair treatment for all parties, particularly for truly sick individuals exposed to asbestos. Unfortunately, the likely cost of the current Senate bill is unacceptably high, and it leaves open the door to further litigation. Nevertheless, we will continue to press for a solution that is fair and balanced."
The Hartford, Conn.-based company's Class A shares lost 3 cents to close at $16.16 Thursday while Class B shares lost a penny to $16.15.

Frasier (1993)
1 mistake in Frasier's Edge
Starring: David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves, John Mahoney, Kelsey Grammer, Peri Gilpin
Continuity mistake: Marty gives Niles a mug which says "World's Greatest Psychiatrist." He puts it down on the coffee table with the lettering facing the camera. He then leaves with Daphne and a few shots later, we can see the mug again, but it is turned around and we see the blank side. When Frasier leaves the apartment, it's back in its original position. Nobody ever touched it.

Big Mountain and Surf Excursion with Blake Thornton in EP 2 of Diaries Downunder
Blake Thornton is a professional surfer hailing from Sydney, Australia and has set out on a mission to adventure around the globe. For his latest adventure, he is welcomed by the Diaries Downunder crew in Christchurch, New Zealand and is whisked away to the nearby Canterbury Club Fields and off to a hidden gem known as Mount Cheeseman.
Blue skies and powder are on the menu with some of the best backcountry terrain in the Southern Hemisphere amongst the splendor of the Central South Island vistas. Blake is thrown into the mix with Nick Hyne, Nick Brown and Roland Morley-Brown as they get after the all-time conditions in NZ.
The South Island of New Zealand is pretty narrow and so it is completely possible to surf and snowboard in the same day. Given the ease and the excitement of doing both, the crew headed out to find the surf, and in doing so, they found find seals, dolphins and a wave that had Blake claiming "I'm definitely come back next winter..for a month!"
It's good in NZ right now. Drop into the edit above.

On prestress stiffness analysis of bolt-plate contact assemblies

Bolt connections are among the most important connections used in structures. The stiffnesses of the bolt and of the connected members are the primary qualities that control the lifetime of the connection. The stiffness of the bolt can be estimated rather easily, in contrast to the member stiffness, but with finite element (FE) and contact analysis, it is possible to find the stiffness of the member. In the case of many connections and for practical applications, it is not suitable to make a full FE analysis. The purpose of the present paper is to find simplified expressions for the stiffness of the member, including the case when the width of the member is limited. The calculation of the stiffness is based on the FE, including the solution to the contact problem, and we express the stiffness as a function of the elastic energy in the structure, whereby the definition of the displacements related to the stiffness is circumvented. The contact analysis is performed using a method where iterations are not necessary, and the results are compared to alternative available results. New practical formulas for the stiffnesses are suggested.

This article is part of a larger effort to broaden the source-base for understanding Mughal-period India by engaging with the Hindi literary archive. I analyze the vignettes of Aurangzeb and other Mughal figures that are available in Lāl Kavi's Chatraprakāś (Light of Chatrasal, c. 1710), a Brajbhasha (classical Hindi) historical poem commissioned by the Bundela ruler Chatrasal (1649–1731). Written shortly after Aurangzeb's death, the Chatraprakāś is in part a retrospective on Aurangzeb's reign. It is also a valuable source of regional history that gives voice to how the Mughal Empire was perceived from a local court that went in and out of political favour. In places, Lāl Kavi engages in trenchant political critique, expressing the court's strong disillusionment with the Mughal manṣabdārī system as well as more local grievances. While by no means the dominant tone of the work, there are occasional hints of the court's outrage at Mughal offenses against what Lal Kavi explicitly terms "Hindu dharma." Parsing the Chatraprakāś as both poetry and history, I probe the text's complex perspectives on Mughal rule.
1 On the Mughal turn toward Persian literary culture during Akbar's reign, see Alam, M., "The Pursuit of Persian: Language in Mughal Politics", Modern Asian Studies, 32: 2 (1998), pp. 317–349. By "Hindi" I reference "Brajbhasha" or classical Hindi.
2 Mahendrapratap Singh and Bhagavandas Gupta are notable exceptions. See Singh, M. P., Aitihāsik pramāṇāvalī aur chatrasāl (Delhi, 1975), pp. 158–159; Gupta, B., Mughaloṃ ke antargat bundelkhaṇḍ ke itihās-saṃskṛti ke hindī sāhityik srotoṃ kā mūlyāṅkan (Jhansi, 2001).
3 Chatraprakāś evidently sparked the interest of the colonial state since there are several nineteenth-century manuscripts in the British Library. See Ghosh, Dipali, A Handlist of Hindi Manuscripts in the India Office Library (London, 1990s), entry 17: Mss.Hin.B.1, Mss.Hin.B.23, Mss.Hin.C.22, Mss.Hin.B.32.
4 Price, W., The Ch,hutru Prukash; A Biographical Account of Ch,hutru Sal, Raja of Boondelkhund (Calcutta, 1829); Pogson, W. R., A History of the Boondelas (Calcutta, 1828).
5 Pogson, A History of the Boondelas, p. vi.
6 Typical are Tivari, B. (ed.), Chatra-vilās (Allahabad, 1984), p. 5; Gupta, M., "Prastāvanā [preface]", in Singh, K., Yugpravartak mahārājā chatrasāl (Delhi, 2001), pp. vi–viii.
7 Pogson, A History of the Boondelas, p. v.
8 Dirk Kolff defines bhumiyāvaṭ as a Rajput prince's "raid in search of a territory of his own", Naukar, Rajput and Sepoy, p. 61.
9 See, respectively, Rothfarb, E., Orchha and Beyond: Design at the Court of Raja Bir Singh Dev Bundela (Mumbai, 2012); Seitz, K., Orchha, Datia, Panna: Miniaturen von den rajputischen Höfen Bundelkhands 1580-1820 2 Vols (2015); Busch, A., Poetry of Kings: The Classical Hindi Literature of Mughal India (New York, 2011), pp. 23–64.
10 Chatrasal's capital at Panna is located less than 30 miles southeast of Khajuraho in today's Madhya Pradesh.
11 Kolff, D., Naukar, Rajput and Sepoy (Cambridge, 2002 [1990]), pp. 117–158.
12 See Busch, A., "Literary Responses to the Mughal Imperium: The Historical Poems of Keśavdās", South Asia Research 25: 1 (2005), pp. 34–37, and Pauwels, H., "The Saint, the Warlord, and the Emperor: Discourses of Braj Bhakti and Bundelā Loyalty", Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient 52: 2 (2009), pp. 187–228.
13 "Sanad of Chhatrasal to Lāl Kavi," in B. Gupta, Contemporary Sources of the Mediaeval and Modern History of Bundelkhand (1531-1857) Vol. 1 (Delhi, 1999), p. 4.
14 Codicils note the granting of additional villages eleven years later.
15 It is difficult to fully attest Lāl's oeuvre, much of which remains unpublished and unstudied. B. Tivari, the editor of Chatravilās, mentions 10 works, and also notes that Lāl Kavi was the "gāyatrī guru" (initiatory teacher) and "sāmarik saciv" (war counsellor) of Chatrasal, on what grounds it is difficult to say (p. 6).
16 K. Seitz, Orchha, Datia, Panna: Miniaturen.
17 Compositions attributed to Chatrasal have been collected in Hari, V. (ed.), Chatrasāl-granthāvalī (Panna, 1926). Although Lāl Kavi provides a somewhat formulaic account of Chatrasal's upbringing and education, he does pause to note the king's literary proclivities, saying "When he heard the poems of fine poets, he would be immersed in feeling and he enjoyed engaging his intellect in the meanings (satakabi kabita sunata rasa pāgai, bilasata mati arathani meṃ āgai), Chatraprakāś, (ed.) M. Singh (Delhi, 1973), p. 73.
18 Sharma, R., Śaurya evam bhakti ke pratīk mahārājā śrī chatrasāl (Jaipur, 2002), p. 60.
19 Bhūṣaṇ Tripāṭhī is credited with ten verses in praise of Chatrasal, Chatrasāldaśak. Nevāz (also Nevāj) is a slightly harder poet to place because there are multiple figures with that name. The association with Chatrasal is briefly mentioned in Nagendra (ed.), Hindī Sāhitya kā bṛhat itihās Vol 6 (Varanasi, 1973), p. 406; also see Pauwels, H., Cultural Exchange in Eighteenth-Century India (Berlin, 2015), p. 38.
20 Ram, S., Swāmī lāldās kṛt mahāmatī prāṇnāth bītak kā madhyakālīn bhāratīya itihās ko yogdān (Delhi, 1996), pp. 157–176; on his religious sermons in Delhi and the conversion of Chatrasal see B. LaRocque, "Trade, State and Religion in Early Modern India: Devotionalism and the Market Economy in the Mughal Empire", unpublished PhD., University of Wisconsin-Madison, History Department, 2004, pp. 206-210.
21 These include the Pranami and Nijanandi (also Nijdhami) sampradāys (communities).
22 For a brief synopsis of the life of Prannath see B. LaRocque, "Trade, State and Religion in Early Modern India", pp. 152-166; Jayasval, M., "Bītak kā aitihāsik mahatva", in Bītak, (ed.) Bhagat, K., with the commentary of M. Dhami (New Delhi, 1991) pp. 1–5.
23 The word used here is tāratamya, which has a special signification as scripture among practitioners of the Pranami and Nijanandi communities.
24 Chatravilās, p. 28.
25 As written by Lāl Kavi, the term mahāmati means "greatly enlightened". Another variant is "Mahamat" which as noted by Brendan Larocque would mean "the supreme religion" but in a more syncretistic spirit can also be an evocation of Muhammad. See his "Mahamat Prannath and the Pranami Movement: Hinduism and Islam in a Seventeenth-Century Mercantile Sect", in Religious Interactions in Mughal India, (ed.) Vasudha Dalmia and Munis D. Faruqui (New Delhi, 2014), p. 357.
26 As the poet puts it "The brilliant deeds of Chatrasal wipe out the darkness of the kaliyug" (chatrasāla ke carita ujyāre, meṭata kula kalikāla aṃdhyāre), Chatraprakāś, p. 63. Luminosity is often connected to fame (both are depicted as bright/white) in Indian poetry. Compare the title of Keśavdās' praśasti-kāvya to the Mughal Emperor, Jahāṃgīrjascandrikā, "Moonlight of the fame of Jahangir". Lāl Kavi must have been aware of the compositions of his famous predecessor, who had worked for a Bundela ruler from whom Chatrasal was descended. There is congruence in the genealogy and Lāl Kavi occasionally adopts similar phrasing and themes employed by Keśavdās. (see notes 29, 85, and 98).

28 See Provincializing Europe (Princeton, 2000), pp. 14-16.
29 Chatraprakāś, pp. 4-8 (with genealogical details continuing through p. 13). As elsewhere in the work, Lāl Kavi may have been drawing directly on Keśavdās. The goddess of the Vindhya Mountains is similarly given an important role in the frame story of Keśavdās' Vīrsiṃhdevacarit (notably in Chapters Two and Three), where she is hailed as the clan deity or kuladevī. Keśavdās may also have been Lāl Kavi's source for the genealogical information of the Bundelas. Compare Vīrsiṃhdevacarit, in Keśavgranthāvalī Vol. 3, (ed.) V. Mishra (Allahabad, 1959), vv. 2.21-54 and Kavipriyā, in Keśavgranthāvalī Vol. 1, (ed.) V. Mishra (Allahabad, 1954), vv. 1.6-39.

33 Lāl Kavi often uses chatra as a homonym, playing off of the dual meaning of Kshatriya and Chatrasal as in these instances: chatrasāla chatrī chavi chāyau (Chatrasal was engulfed with warrior luster, Chatraprakāś, p. 180) or tinake tanaya chatrapana dhārī, chatrasāla sohata bhaṭabhārī ([Campat Rai's] son upheld the warrior code, Chatrasal, a luminous and formidable warrior, Chatraprakāś, p. 192).

93 Lāl Kavi's regionalised description of Chatrasal's conquests is a far cry from the more universalising digvijaya in the Sanskrit political imaginary, which envisioned "power up to the horizons". See Pollock, Sheldon, Language of the Gods (Berkeley and Los Angeles, 2006), pp. 237–258.

See "Author of One's Fate: Fatalism and Agency in Indo-Persian Histories", Indian Economic and Social History Review 49 (2) (2012), pp. 197-224. Analogues can also be found in Hindi texts. For instance, in Keśavdās' Jahāṃgīrjascandrikā (1612), the Mughal manṣabdār Iraj Shahnavaz Khan (son of the famous Mughal general 'Abd al-Rahim Khan-i khanan), is portrayed asking Keśavdās whether personal striving or fate play the greater role in a man's life: kahijai kesaurāyajū, uddima baṛo ki karma, Jahāṃgīrjascandrikā, (ed.) K. Lal (Allahabad, 1994), v. 10. The work then enfolds as a debate between these two forces.

I had such an amazing day yesterday so I really wanted to share it.
First of all I have the best mum! I really really do! Yesterday she surprised me with this:
The nerdynummies cook book in german!!! How freaking cool is that?! I was so so excited and happy when she gave it to me and she was really excited to.
And the book is amazing! One of the best things is that they converted everything into grams and stuff like that so no more converting for me ;).
It's also an amazing edition to my cook books. The only cook book I used to have was 'Love, Tanya' but this wasn't a real cook book more a lifestyle book with a cooking section. For Christmas last year I got my first cook book from my brother and now I have two!!
It is so nice to have something in your hands. Now I just want to bake bake bake. Finally I have a recipe for a good brownie, new York cheesecake…. .
The first thing I am going to bake is the 'WLAN cheesecake'. It's my dad's birthday on Monday the 3rd and he always tries to get the best internet for us. He also is a programmer so I thought this cake would be perfect for him.
I am going to show you how my cake turned out on Monday and also what I got him for his birthday, let's be honest, finding a good present for your dad is so hard.
I also had to take a cool Polaroid selfie with my new book! As you can probably tell I am really really excited about this and this was one of my 'made my day moments.
Baking is really really important to me. It's really calming and relaxing to me but at the same time it's so fun and exciting. Trying out new recipes is amazing and when they turn out good I am always so so proud. I also love how excited my family gets when I bake something. They always tell me I should do this for a job ( I don't think I am that good :D) but it is just so sweet to hear such nice compliments for a little muffin or cake.
Do you like to bake? Let me know in the comments.
Oh I have to add another thing to my 'made my day' list. It was really really sunny and nice outside. I wore my favorite new shoes and some really comfy jeans.
Oh and Ro retweeted my tweet again…. I KNOW!!!
I just completely fell in love with her! She's such a cute inspiring person. Her videos make me smile and make me feel so so happy.
That's enough rambling for today ;). I hope you liked my little résumé of my day.
I hope you have the best day.
Love, Glücksgeist.

Stephen Waguespack claimed his crystal ball was "hazy," but the head of the Louisiana Association of Business & Industry said he expects the Legislature to solve its budget problems.
But that's only a budget.
Waguespack says revising an antiquated tax code, regaining public trust and a possible constitutional convention may be needed for the financial future of Louisiana.
The head of the organization outlined Tuesday what state businesses face in his talk at the Chamber Business Briefing sponsored by the Livingston Parish Chamber of Commerce.
With the Legislature in its second day of special session, Waguespack gave a broad, general description of how he thinks the budget issue will play out.
The Revenue Estimating Conference has put the budget deficit at $994 million, he said, facing the expiration of a temporary 1-cent sales tax in July.
Changes in the federal tax code means Louisiana residents won't be claiming as much federal taxes paid on their state returns, Waguespack said. This is will bring in an estimated $306 million.
Of the approximate $680 million deficit remaining, the state has $180 million in sales tax collections it did not expect, he said, making the deficit $500 million.
"Now, we're at $500 million without a vote being taken," Waguespack said.
Legislators then will look at doing something with the sales tax, a partial return of expiring fifth cent to generate $300 million to $400 million, he said.
At that point, legislators will have to cut $100 million and the deficit is done, he said.
"That 994 number you hear is not what The Building believes in," he said, referring to the State Capitol.
Waguespack used a projector to show a man standing next to a cliff – his version of the "fiscal cliff" that has been discussed about the expiration of the fifth cent.
"We're as tired of talking about this stuff as you are to hear about," he said. "The guy at the edge of the cliff, that's the taxpayer. He's confused, frustrated," Waguespack said. "He doesn't want to not do his fair share. What I hear is a lot of people have a problem with trust."
The public wants their needs addressed, he added, "They want to drive on good roads; they want their children to go to good schools."
"People feel like they're a piñata. They get whacked with a stick, If they don't drop candy" -- or taxes-- he said, "They get yelled at."
"It's critical for business owners, and taxpayers and employees to understand the issues," he said. "If you depend on Twitter and only certain articles, you are not getting the full story."
Waguespack called the state tax code "dysfunctional," going back to the days of Gov. Huey Long, when, "Everything flowed to the capital and if you knew who to kiss, it might flow back."
Other states don't have that, he said. Taxes stay local in a county where it is worked out how it will be spent, he said.
Most of the state budget is locked into dedicated funds, which can't be cut or moved, Waguespack said.
"Four hundred dedications is a problem," he said, which is why education and health care – without dedicated funding -- take such a beating in every budget.
"TOPS is not funded in the current budget," Waguespack said. "I would be shocked if it is not fully funded in the final version," of the budget.
"Revenue dedicated to TOPS, we support that," he said.
It may take a constitutional convention to solve some of the problems, Waguespack said.
Two years ago, the suggestion probably would have been dismissed, he said.
"Today we are getting different messages from chamber members," he said.
"There's a lack of faith," in the same public officials who aren't solving problems being the people running a constitutional convention trying to fix those problems, Waguespack said.
"We need regular people serving as convention delegates," he said, people willing to spend 90 days seeking solutions.

Viewing the Role of the Student Teacher Supervisor through Cross-Cultural Perspectives.
Lamont, Wendy K.; Arcand, Darlene S.
This study, conducted in the context of a Canadian Aboriginal teacher education program, sought to determine if student teachers', cooperating teachers', and university supervisors' perceptions about the role of the university supervisor differed, particularly when this triad was composed of individuals from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Participants consisted of aboriginal student teachers (N=29) enrolled in the Indian Teacher Education Program (ITEP) at the University of Saskatchewan (Canada) and their non-aboriginal cooperating teachers (N=41) and university supervisors (N=16): 84 in all. The "Role of the University Supervisor Survey," which assessed the perceptions of each participant with regards to the relative importance of selected roles and responsibilities of the university supervisor, was mailed to all participants. Anonymity was guaranteed. The final return rate of the surveys was 76 percent for student teachers, 85 percent for cooperating teachers, and 88 percent for university supervisors. Results indicated that university supervisors, student teachers, and cooperating teachers held similar perceptions of the university supervisor's role. Comparisons conducted in the post hoc analysis revealed a single significant difference between perceptions of student teachers and cooperating teachers: student teachers placed a lower level of priority on the role of the university supervisor to perform formative assessment procedures. Overall however, all groups generally agreed that the supervisor's most important roles were to facilitate feedback conferences; to observe and provide feedback to the student teacher; to provide moral support and encouragement; and to review time lines, requirements, and responsibilities.
