9 of 9 people found the following review helpful4Versions of this solitary vice, played with a partnerByJohn L Murphy "Fionnchú"TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICEon December 6, 2008Format: HardcoverThis handsome anthology gathers forty-four entries that examine "the great game of chess in world literature." They range from mysteries to poetry, tournament accounts to fantasy contests, allegory to journalism. Intelligently sequenced and informatively (if too sparingly) introduced, this volume may appeal too to readers who aren't masters of the ancient pursuit. My review's lengthy, but I wish to give an overview of each of the selections, as details may not be found readily on-line.The first section covers "Chess Itself." Charles Krauthammer's essay attacks the association by what Nabokov (in his preface to "The Defense") called "the Viennese delegation" too eager to reduce the struggle to a Freudian wish that "sees Mom in his Queen and Pop in his opponent's King." (qtd. 10) Krauthammer might also have noted that Alexander Cockburn in his "hilariously reductionist" equation of chess with neurosis managed to discuss "Defense" in detail without citing Nabokov's own dismissal of the interpretation relied upon by Cockburn or Reuben Fine! Of course, Freudians simply retaliate that their woodpushing opponents repress insecurities. (I reviewed "Idle Passion," and "The Defense," recently on Amazon).Nabokov's excerpt from his "Speak, Memory" autobiography's also here, along with Andrew Waterman's considerations of Fine and Marcel Duchamp (always a cameo in every chess history), with other ambivalent critic-players. Ezra Pound and Lord Dunsany provide verse. The second section, "Obsession," logically moves into the drives that the first part ignited. "The Defense" and Stefan Zweig's "The Royal Game," proof-texts for Cockburn and Waterman, present worst-case scenarios. These are balanced by Walter Tevis' portrayal of an orphaned teenaged girl and narcotics addict who rises to the championship, "The Queen's Gambit." Alan Sharp's "Night Moves" detective yarn did not captivate me, but I liked the gumshoe repartee about another gal's dubious charms: "'Did she offer you the key to the city?' 'It was more of a guided tour.'" (75) Miguel de Unamuno's "The Novel of Don Sandino, Chessplayer," seemed mired in proto-existential gloom, but it does evoke reliably "this solitary vice of two men together in company." (78) Women-- as Tevis' Beth proves the exception to the rule-- rarely appear as players, and not often even as spectators."Only a Pawn," section three, I enjoyed. Lewis Carroll's Red Queen match, that baffled many besides Alice, here gets solved as A. L. Taylor's ingenious essay "The White Knight": "it would be illogical to expect logic in a game dreamed by a child." What Alice sees depends on her limitations. The moral? "This is a pawn's impression of chess, which is like a human being's impression of life." (94) Flowing into Borges' poetic analogy of dreamers dreaming gamers, detouring into Ian Fleming's "From Russia With Love" chapter, the analogy's expanded into Poul Anderson's clever depiction of "The Immortal Game" of 1851 loosely imagined as if played by robot simulators who don't understand why they move as they must. Slawomir Mrozek's "Check!" occupies a gloomier, allegorical setting to show, as befitting his Polish context, the breakdown of such imposed order when run by incompetent masters. It drags on as long as the game it narrates does, however; I prefer Anderson's flair to Mrozek's dispassion.Part Four introduces "Players Real & Imagined." Elias Canetti-- as Hochberg notes an "astounding coincidence" of a fictional mad player named Fischer-- in his 1935 novel "Auto-da-Fé," anticipates eerily in this excerpt the rise of the champion himself. Brad Leithauser's "Hence" pits a Fischer-like protagonist against a Deep Blue precursor, ANNDY, who delights in dumbing down what humanist Timothy Briggs defends: "the machine can never replace the human being." He warns the spectators: "you honestly don't think hard enough." (148) Robert Lowell's poem "The Winner" assembles Fischerisms into a brief but insightful meditation on celebrity.Julian Barnes in "Playing Chess with Arthur Koestler" shares five matches in summer 1982 before the elder man's death from Parkinson's. It's a standout inclusion. In Suffolk, Barnes visits the old Hungarian; "Nature is parodying itself for a city dweller charmed by the simplest country sights." (157) Barnes deftly combines raw gamesmanship with an honest evaluation of Koestler's character. "We met over chess, that trivial pursuit which refers to nothing else in life, to nothing significant, and yet which engages our full seriousness." (160)John Griffith's "The Memory Man" espionage novel has a few pages on the life of a professional player in decline. The reality of the hardship compared with the compulsion to continue puzzles many a non-player unable to fathom "the game that had dignified his life." (165) Sholem Aleichem's unnerving, enigmatic tale of Tsarist Russia, "From Passover to Succos, or the Chess Player's Story," shows the unintended consequences of poor Rubinstein's prowess. The Jewish dominance of chess by Rubinstein's escaped landsmen at the Manhattan Chess Club enters Alfred Kreymborg's scattershot first-person account, "Chess Reclaims a Devotee." While its player's perspective's valuable, for it's a rare one even in this anthology, the essay's erratically organized and as casually arranged as its pick-up games between such adepts as Ziegenschwartz & Levkowitz. Readers of "The Chess Artist" by J.C. Hallman (also reviewed by me here and at Amazon US) may compare Kreymborg's half-century at the MCC with a more recent depiction of that location and NYC's chess culture. "The Last Gambit" excerpts another whodunit, this time set in Philly's Quaker Club counterpart to the Big Apple, by David Delmar. "Chess players, a diverse enough breed, all had that much in common: the game first, civilities second." (194)Part Five rouses "Caprices & Caricatures." The frenetic con man's inspiration for Mel Brooks' chess-less film "The Twelve Chairs" (1970) can be found with "Ilf & Petrov," aka Ilya Fainzilberg & Yevgeny Katayev, in their spirited 1928 Soviet satire. Samuel Beckett's wry rendering of a "Zweispringerspiel," or Two-Knights-Game, into a "Z---spott," or "...joke." This scene from his 1938 novel "Murphy" gives his mordantly funny view of an Irish male nurse's contest against a mental patient, Mr Endon. "(Finished on time a round was called a virgin; ahead of time, an Irish virgin.)" (218)I have never found the Canadian humor of Stephen Leacock up to his reputation. "Pawn to King's Four" does, nonetheless, evoke the sinister aura (I like his glance at a few blind players with pegged boards in the corner) around a chess club's denizens. Woody Allen's "The Gossage-Vardebedian Papers" delves into correspondence chess; its epistolary construction may remain, as Hochberg introduces it, "probably the funniest story about chess," but this is a volume rather low on humor, at least overt or uproariously contrived.E.M. Forster's wit's subtler. His "Chess at Cracow" reports elegantly and with precise observation on a living exhibition of chess figures. "How charmingly, on this occasion, was the stupidity of the castles indicated by some low, eye-shaped windows in the neighbourhood of their knees! I had never before understood why castles are so difficult to manage. What a settled despair lurked in the beards of the kings! The knights rocked to and fro on their squares, even more indifferent than usual to their immediate neighbours, and the pawns were like overgrown children, defenceless yet dangerous." (238) He enlivens what Mrozek's story deadened; but Forster's visit preceded blitzkrieg or Stalinism.The sixth section, "Love New & Remembered," dramatizes, in somewhat musty parlors, chess as a struggle to win over the one he or she courts. Anne Brontë's last novel, "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" (1848), Thomas Hardy's "A Pair of Blue Eyes," (1878), and Sinclair Lewis's "Cass Timberlane" reveal symbolic strategems. Notably, the women, especially Hardy's Elfride, prove wily if distraught rivals. The "rueful poem `The Chess-Board'" by the son of Baron Lytton, E.R. Bulmer Lytton, lives up or down to the literary inheritance you'd expect from that morose Victorian lineage.Section seven, "Three Tantrums," promises more verve. Tennyson's verse-play "Becket" (1884) anticipates T.S. Eliot's poetic drama. We find a scene from Alexander Cockburn's father Claud's novel "Beat the Devil," published psuedonymously in 1951 and soon a film with Bogart and Jennifer Jones. The pulp prose of elder Cockburn's more boilerplate, less erudite, than his son's in "Idle Passion," no doubt. The fabulist Spencer Holst in "Chess" simplifies matters with a concise moral, within one of his "tiny tales for adults in the guise of children's stories." (274)The penultimate section, "Moved to Murder," confronts less idle passions aroused by the humiliation of defeat. Theodore Mathieson's "The Chess Partner" follows a fellow desperate to beat his rival, so as to hold on to his beloved. Henry Slesar's "The Poisoned Pawn" concocts a tale of revenge based upon an ingenious trick of a "shadow player," one game as white, the other black, manipulating a correspondence set-up a third opponent using the moves of the other game's opposite player! (It's easier than it sounds to follow.) Harry Kemelman's "End Play" exhibits how a chess position helps solve a murder. The story entangles itself in whodunit fashion, despite this!Finally, "Confronting the Enemy" offers three fiction writers' scenarios that heighten the drama of a match between champion-level players. From "The Tower Struck by Lightning," Fernando Arrabal bases his dramatic showdown on a 1922 Capablanca draw. Not quite a story so much as a semi-fictional essay, but it does discuss in compressed form many themes elaborated elsewhere in the literature. Arrabal also demolishes Reuben Fine's Freudianism.Martin Amis' "Money: A Suicide Note" features John Self's ego vs. the author in this spirited, self-referential bout of 80s "greed is good" excess. Kurt Vonnegut imagines a Cold War slangy confrontation, a form of psy-ops torture merged with living chess, "All the King's Horses," (1953). A flaw common with much speculative fiction: it starts off with a promising idea that fails to satisfy. In 1965's "The 'Victory'-- A Story with Exaggerations," Vasily Aksynov's "subtle commentary on the relationship between the artist and society in Soviet Russia" (346) illustrates for a final time the many levels on which this simple game can be raised to profound heights.Hochberg, a proven editor on-- and exponent of-- the great game himself, arranges the collection sensibly. There's one flaw: his notes prove so sparse that often we lack contexts. A few prefaces, as for Arrabal or Anderson, relating to famous games revamped in the entries, are informative. But, his acknowledgements page leaves out many dates of publication or copyright. We need insight into how the various entries in each section illustrated larger themes beyond the mere topic related to chess. These intertextual strategies do emerge for the careful spectator, but a chess writer of Hochberg's rank could have enriched his valuable volume with "color commentary" to educate those only "patzers" or kibitzers within his audience.0CommentWas this review helpful to you?YesNoSending feedback...Thank you for your feedback.Sorry, we failed to record your vote.

3. The valve of claim 2, wherein the difference between the cone angle of the valve seat and the cone angle of the conical circumference of the valve piston is between approximately 2.5° and 8°.
a valve housing at least partially defining a pump connection chamber, a consumer connection chamber, and a return flow chamber, and comprising a generally conical valve seat positioned between the pump connection chamber and the consumer connection chamber; a valve piston positioned in the valve housing and supported for pivoting relative to the valve seat, wherein the valve piston comprises a generally conical circumference, and the conical circumference of the valve piston and the valve seat function together as a seat pairing for closing the pump connection chamber relative to the consumer connection chamber to hold the hydraulic load in a substantially leakproof manner, and wherein the cone angle of the valve seat and the cone angle of the conical circumference are different, with the difference being between approximately 2.5° and 8°; a valve shaft positioned in the valve housing and adapted for pivoting in and relative to the valve housing, wherein the valve piston is fixedly mounted to the valve shaft to form an inflexible unit, and the valve shaft has opposite first and second ends; a seal sealably supporting the first end of the valve shaft, wherein the first end of the valve shaft is sized so that there is lateral play between the first end of the valve shaft and the valve housing; a return flow collar mounted to the valve shaft for moving longitudinally with the valve piston, so that the return flow collar closes a connection between the return flow chamber and the consumer connection chamber by engaging an inner circumference of the valve housing, wherein the first end of the valve shaft is adjacent the return flow collar, and wherein a control chamber, which is for at least partially controlling the longitudinal movement of the valve shaft, is at least partially defined between the first end of the valve shaft and a first end of the valve housing; a guide member in which the second end of the valve shaft is aligned, wherein there is lateral play between the guide member and the valve housing and thereby there is lateral play between the second end of the valve shaft and the valve housing, so that the valve shaft is adapted for pivoting in the valve housing, whereby the valve piston is supported for pivoting relative to the valve seat, and wherein an equalization chamber is formed at least partially between the guide member and a second end of the valve housing, and the equalization chamber is connected to the return flow chamber; and a spherical cup within which the guide member is supported relative to the valve housing. 14. The valve of claim 1, wherein the cone angle of the conical circumference of the valve piston is smaller than the cone angle of the valve seat.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the cone angle of the valve seat and the cone angle of the valve cone are made different. Preferably, the difference is from approximately 2.5° to 8°. This results in a circular line contact, which leads to a high face pressure, so that the valve cone and valve seat optimally adapt to each other.
The angle of cone of the valve seat 14 is slightly greater, preferably between 2° and 8°, than the angle of cone of the valve cone 13, whereby a circular contact results initially between the valve seat 14 and the valve cone 13. This has the advantage that despite inaccuracies in manufacturing and alignment errors of the cone axes 24 of the valve seat and 25 of the valve cone, the seat surfaces of the valve seat and the valve cone work into each other, so as to result in an accurate fit and seal. The pivoting center of the valve piston is close to or on the cone axis 24 of the valve seat and preferably on the same side of the valve seat as the apexes of the cones.

Overall Google Docs Requirement: It is required that you write your document in Google Docs with each team member using their own Google account. This is because the revision history is used as supporting evidence for each team members’ contribution to the writing of the report. You are required to: • Write the complete document – ALL DRAFTS AND REVISIONS – online as a single document with multiple contributors (team members) each individually identified. This file will be created by your TA and shared with you. Only this file will be graded.
You are NOT to… • • write the document offline and then upload it at the last minute. [Will result in no revision history] write the document in several separate Google Docs documents and then merge the files afterwards. [Will result in several individuals writing “sub-reports” and then smashing them together, rather than a team collaboratively writing one report]
Starting Your Assignment: Log into your Google Account and view your Google Docs. Your TA will have shared a CDS document with you. Submission Instructions: The CDS is due Friday, March 2, 2012 at 12:10 p.m. There is no hard copy submission of the CDS. The required content for the CDS (see below) must be submitted as a single shared Google Docs document before this deadline (Not a shared uploaded .docx or .pdf file!). Other forms of submissions, hardcopy or digital, will not be accepted. Before the assignment deadline you are to rename your assignment file in Google Docs to clearly identify it as the “Final Version.” Standard course late penalties will apply if the document: • • • • is not shared correctly, is not in a single file, has a revision history showing that the document was edited after the deadline, is missing a revision history.
Standard course late penalties will also apply if submission instructions have not been followed in another way not specifically mentioned in the above list. By the same deadline a PDF version exported from your Google Docs document must be submitted to Turnitin. If your Turnitin submission is late, then standard late penalties apply. You do not need to submit your appendices or research worksheets to Turnitin. A signed hardcopy of your attribution table must be submitted in person to your marker at the assignment debrief. You do not need to submit your attribution table at the time of the digital submission. Claims of contributing to the writing of sections of the report, without a supporting revision history, will be disregarded as individual contributions to the project and may result in an individual penalty for the under contributing student.
APS112 & 113 Conceptual Design Specification Instructions
The CDS, once fully developed, should clearly communicate enough detail about the conceptual design for the client to be able to make an initial assessment of whether the plan, if it is implemented as shown, will lead to a design that meets their needs. This document should clearly demonstrate your ability to generate a number of solutions and your ability to define criteria for choosing one of the designs to recommend to the client.
This report is to cover the conceptual design stage, including the following:
Project Requirements Methods used to generate alternatives Alternatives considered Methods used to choose recommended design Relevant details about recommended design Recommendations for the testing phase Conclusion
Required content (see attached pages for details) − Cover Page − Executive Summary 1.0 Project Requirements 1.1. Problem Statement 1.2. Identification of Stakeholders 1.3. Functions 1.4. Objectives 1.5. Constraints 1.6. Service Environment 1.7. Client Ethics and Values 2.0 Alternative Designs, including the one to be presented as Proposed Conceptual Design 2.1. Idea Generation 2.2.

Preliminary Metrics 4.0 Updated Project Management Plan 5.0 Conclusion/Recommendation − Reference List (following modified IEEE format) − Appendices with: o Gantt chart o Research Worksheets o graphical material related to the design
Format: No less than 3500 words and no more than 4000 words excluding the Cover Page, Executive Summary, List of References, Appendices and other back matter. The word limit penalty is 10 marks (out of 100) per 10 words (or portion thereof) under or over the stated limit. For formatting information, see “Document Style Requirements” posted in APS112/113 Course Documents on the course portal. Cover Page (posted) Project title, date, client information, design team names. All fields MUST be filled in. Ensure you identify yourselves fully, with both first and last names and that all names are spelled correctly, including Client organization, Client contact person, Project Manager, TA and Communication Instructor. Executive Summary An Executive Summary is a short, information-packed synopsis of your report. The final version should not be less than 300 words or more than 400. The purpose of the Executive Summary is to condense the entire report such that a reader should finish it knowing the basic information about the project. Only an interested reader needs to read more. Many people, in addition to your contact person, may read the Executive Summary and make important decisions about your project based on the Executive Summary alone. Therefore, it must be complete, clearly and precisely written, and cover the most important points made in the most relevant sections of your report. It will also, normally, discuss schedule, budget and key recommendations. However, if there is no budget, you should leave that out. Write the Executive Summary after you have finished the rest of the report. Executive Summaries are generally written in paragraph form, but may contain bullet and/or numbered lists. The opening, however, should be in paragraph form. An Executive Summary is an independent document attached to a report; therefore, it should not have a page number or a header number. Your executive summary must be included in your Turnitin submission. 1. Project Requirements This section gives a distilled report of the background for the project. It focuses on the problem and establishes the specifications that must be considered in developing a design. It must be solution independent and clearly define the fundamental functionality and scope of the design project. 1.1 Problem Statement This is not the statement the client gives you; this is the problem in the design team’s own words, indicating the scope of the problem. This statement identifies the client, clearly states the client’s need, including motivation (why there is a need for this design), and includes any relevant background information that you have discovered through research, such as additional understanding of user needs and the service environment. 1.2 Identification of Stakeholders This should include all relevant stakeholders, and their respective interests. These interests must be defined independently of the project, but the specific way that the project would affect the stakeholder’s interest must be shown and, conversely, how the stakeholder interest influences functions, objectives and/or constraints must also be shown. A stakeholder interest should not be written in terms of the design – e.g. NOT: The stakeholder would like the design to be portable. Rather, it should be written in
terms of a need the stakeholder has that would be affected by the design – e.g. The stakeholder has a highly mobile lifestyle and is therefore interested in being able to carry as much as possible at any time. 1.3 Functions Fundamental functionality must be defined, as well as  Primary function(s) the design is to perform  Secondary functions  Unintended functions/uses 1.4 Objectives Physical, financial, environmental, social and performance objectives for the design  Goals for these objectives  An objective is identified by “should be” coupled with an adjective or descriptive phrase. For example: The product should be less than 5 kg. for portability.  In this case, “less than 5 kg.” is not a constraint, but rather a goal set for the objective. 1.5 Constraints Strict requirements for the design  May be functional, physical, financial, environmental, social or other as would be relevant to the project  Constraint statements identify mandatory requirements that the design must meet and commit the designer to meeting the specification. If the constraint is not met, the system may have to be re-designed at the expense of the designer to meet the tolerance.  A constraint will be identified by “shall” coupled with a definitive and testable limit.  For example: The product shall weigh less than 5 kg. 1.6 Service Environment Document the total environment that the design must operate in. If one of these environments, e.g., the virtual environment, is not relevant, omit it. Service environment should not be written from the point of view of the device or design. That is, it is not how the device will be designed to operate within an environment, but what the environmental concerns are in the first place. In other words, NOT “The design must be water-proof” but “The design will be used outdoors, in all weather. Temperatures can range from -32°C to +40°C. Average rainfall is 709 mm and snow is 138 mm [1].” 1.6.1 Physical environment • • • Such as range of temperature, pressure range, wind velocity, rain and salt spray, humidity, dirt and dust, corrosive environments, shock loading, vibration, noise level, and insect or other pest damage. May be based on the extremes of weather experienced in the user’s environment, for example. May also acknowledge other elements that may be active in the user’s environment, including (but not limited to) appliances or machinery.
1.6.2 Living things •
Living things that may interact with the design or need to be considered when developing the design.
May be animals, microbes or plants. If human, you may identify factors such as culture, age, language, physical attributes, and education.
1.6.3 Virtual environment • • Any virtual systems that may exist within the physical environment. May be access to a cellular network or the computer operating system
1.7 Client Ethics and Values The client may have specific ethical policies that will impact cost or implementation. Additionally, the client may have values that will influence a design choice; these values may relate to labour practices, aesthetics, cultural perception, or be environmental, social, or political. Your client will be reading this section. Be professional and diplomatic. 2. Alternatives Briefly introduce the purpose of this part of the report. Describe the function of upcoming sections and justify your design process. 2.1 Idea Generation Explain the methods your team used to generate the alternative designs. Direct your reader to appendices for any tables or charts. 2.2 Alternative Design Selection Describe each alternative design and review its advantages and disadvantages with respect to, in particular, identified requirements, such as (though not restricted to) objectives and service environment. Use parallel structure to make it easier for your reader to understand the comparison. There should be five alternatives and all must be feasible. Each should represent a significantly different approach to solving the design problem with different trade-offs. You may not have one clearly superior design and four clearly inferior designs. You may not select best features from four alternatives in order to create a superior fifth choice. Provide sketches or drawings for all designs and include these in the appendices. Refer your reader to these appendices clearly in the body of the report, identifying appendices by alphabetical designation and title – e.g. Appendix A: Design Option 1 – Rolodex Toastmaster. 3. Proposed Conceptual Design Identify the alternative design chosen for the conceptual design, and explain your team’s decision-making process, referring your reader to appropriate material in the appendices. 3.1 Proposed Design: Provide detailed information about the recommended solution. There must be enough detail to give the client a reasonable sense of how this design will function and how it will meet the objectives of the project. You should include graphic material: simple sketches, drawings, or flowcharts to communicate to the client how you envision the design at this point. You may include selected graphics in the body of the report; other graphics will go in the appendices. This solution, if agreed to by the client, will be the design you develop toward the final detailed design.
It is not necessary, or expected, that all teams will have a fully detailed design at this point. You should write this subsection based on the needs of the situation, giving more detail if you are certain that you and the client are in agreement about the recommended design and know the client requires detail at this point and giving less detail if you are not certain that the client will agree to the recommended design. 3.2 Plan for Detailed Design: Determine the scope for the Final Design Specification, the next document you will work on. What will you deliver to your client? A design, a flowchart, a paper prototype? What seems feasible at this point? What is your plan for creating a detailed design? What aspects of the design are you proposing to detail, and to what degree? Give your client a good idea of what to expect at the end of the term. 3.3 Outstanding Decisions: This subsection lists the design details yet to be worked out. For each of the elements identified, explain the associated requirements. For example, if flooring material needs to be chosen, on what basis will that decision be made? 3.4 Preliminary Implementation Requirements: What will be required to implement your design? Does it require your client to purchase new equipment or software? Will your client need to change their organizational structure? Will your client need to hire people to install the design? There may be other questions to consider, depending on your project. It is important to identify requirements for which you will need to research the costs for the detailed design. 3.5 Preliminary Environmental Impact: Using a life-cycle analysis, identify the potential environmental impacts of your proposed design, and explain how the design tries to lessen the negative impacts and increase the positive ones. Include a life-cycle diagram in an appendix. 3.6 Preliminary Human Factors: Explain how your proposed design addresses the key human factors at each level of the Human-tech ladder. Many factors you identify may be at the physical level, but use a systems approach to show how your design accounts for the other levels as well. 3.7 Preliminary Social Impact: Examine the key social impacts associated with your proposed design, and explain how your design tries to lessen negative impacts and increase positive ones. Also explain how your design balances the concerns of the different stakeholders. 3.8 Preliminary Economics: Identify life-cycle economic costs (but not the actual dollar values) for your proposed design, including capital expenditures, operating costs, and the costs for disposal and decommissioning. Also consider external costs arising from the social impacts. 3.9 Preliminary Metrics For the CDS, the metrics are measurable tests you would use to assess a prototype, its functionality, and how well it meets the design objectives. Given the relatively short development time available, the metrics you propose should test only the most critical objectives in your project and should be kept as simple and easy to implement as possible. You are not expected to perform these tests. The results from the metrics
would, in an actual project, be used to shape the development of the design until it satisfied the client. 4. Updated Project Plan In the main text of the report, concisely describe the project plan. Identify project milestones and due dates, particularly those that may require a client action. As well, you may want to identify risks or problems that might occur, and your plans for overcoming them. (If there are no risks to the design process, then do not include a discussion of risks.) This overview will be presented in greater detail in a Gantt chart. An updated project Gantt chart must be included in an appendix in your report. The schedule should be very detailed in the near term (i.e. for the time between the CDS due date and the Final Design Specification due date), and may be more general for the remaining project time leading up to the final presentation. However, all major milestones, and any known or assumed tasks, should be included wherever possible. The Gantt chart is for the benefit of your TA and PM and should be removed from the report before being sent to the client. Your discussion of the project plan is also covered in lesser detail in the “Plan for Detailed Design” and “Outstanding Decisions” subsections of this report. Make sure these subsections and your “Updated Project Plan” are consistent and complement one another. 5. Conclusion/Recommendation Summarize the key points and bring the document to a close in a way that fully defines what the reader may expect, at this point, from the project. The reader should therefore have reaffirmed any action they are being asked to take as well as those you are taking. This is not a word-for-word repetition of earlier material, but rather a way of bringing the document together and consolidating its main message(s). In this section, you must repeat your recommendation and justify it. The justification should allow the client to understand a degree of flexibility regarding the recommendation so that the client’s comfort level is assured. You must give the client some idea of how the process will continue. Reference List It is an academic offense to represent the ideas of others as your own. In order to ensure that you are properly identifying your sources, you must follow two steps: 1. In the body of your report, wherever you have used information in any form from anyone other than yourself, you must identify the source with a citation, that is, a number in square brackets [1]. These numbers are sequential: each new reference gets the next number. An already cited reference keeps the number that it had. 2. You must list all cited sources at the end of your document in a Reference List. This list is not alphabetical. Works are listed in the order that they appear in the document. For each source, you must give the authors’ names, the date of publication, title of the document and all publication and/or electronic access information. In addition to citing where ideas come from, you must indicate to the reader when you use word for word quotation from a source. The most acceptable method of doing this is to utilize quotation marks (“) on either side of the quote. Keep in mind that direct quotation is discouraged in engineering practice and that you only get marks for original work; directly quoted ideas will not, in themselves, give you any marks.
However, if you feel that a quote is absolutely justified, make sure you indicate that you are quoting, by using quotation marks. A direct quote that has an in-text citation (number in square brackets) but no quotation marks is still considered an Academic Misconduct and will result in loss of grades, as well as a letter in your file, for you and possibly the entire team. A full explanation of how to cite a source is in the “Document Style Requirements” of the Course Package. Appendices In the appendices, put material that does not fit in the flow of the document, either because it is too extensive or because only a part of it is relevant; however, you have included the whole to give an interested reader a complete, detailed understanding of your subject. Examples are: manufacturers' data sheets, relevant research documents, or details of alternate designs. It is vital to include in the appendices all drawings, plans or sketches relevant to your project. Add measurements if possible. Any information included in the appendices, other than the Gantt chart and research worksheets, must be mentioned in the body of the report. Moreover, all material in the appendices, including published material such as manufacturers’ specifications, must have a short introduction written by your team showing the relevance of this material. Material should be divided appropriately into individual appendices, each of which should be clearly labeled and titled: eg, Appendix F: Material Data Sheets. Sources for all material included in appendices must be documented in the Reference List. You do this by putting a number in a square bracket [#] next to the discussion of the appendix in the body of the report. Then you add to the reference list, as you would any reference material, the full bibliographic information in correct form, as explained in the Course Package. Attribution Table (posted) The attribution table describes who in the team was responsible for each section of the submitted document, and the nature of their contribution. An example is also posted to help you understand how to complete the table. Do not forget to identify your project at the top of this form. Information from the attribution table will affect the grade individuals within the group receive. Therefore, it is important that each member of the team review the attribution table for accuracy and sign off on it. A completed attribution table must be brought to the debrief session. Research Worksheet (posted) All research must be documented on a Research Worksheet. Submit a separate worksheet for each source used; if you use the same source several times in a document, you only have to submit one Research Worksheet, but it should note which sections or topics the source was useful for.

- Anderson regrets blasting Browns fans
On Tuesday, the Browns released Anderson, a former Pro Bowl quarterback, after five years in Cleveland, as the team decided to cast its lot with Brady Quinn and avoid paying Anderson a $2 million roster bonus and a $7.45 million salary in 2010. The move came just one day after the team acquired Seneca Wallace in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks. Following his release, Anderson lashed out at Browns fans in an e-mail to the Willoughby News-Herald. "The fans are ruthless and don't deserve a winner," Anderson said in the e-mail Tuesday. "I will never forget getting cheered when I was injured.
When Anderson sustained a knee injury in a 2008 game against Indianapolis, some Browns fans cheered as he laid on the field in pain. Despite making the Pro Bowl in 2007, the majority of Cleveland fans wanted the club to start Quinn, a first-round draft pick in 2007.
But in a statement released Wednesday, Anderson said those words came out of frustration.

Manchester United failed Wilfried Zaha and Crystal Palace are reaping the benefits | Daily Mail Online
Manchester United failed Wilfried Zaha and Crystal Palace are reaping the benefits... Roy Hodgson should give him another chance in the England squad
Wilfried Zaha is living up to his potential with Crystal Palace this season
Manchester United failed the 23-year-old during his time at Old Trafford

Speak to anyone who knows about Wilfried Zaha’s time at Manchester United and you’ll realise he failed there not because he lacked the raw materials but because the club failed to create the right conditions for him to flourish.
On Saturday I was at St Mary’s to watch Zaha torment Southampton. He ran the game and with his wizard skills and wondrous touch, this clever and exciting talent was too hot to handle.
And he’s been doing it on a regular basis this season. He is one of the key reasons Palace have been doing so well.
Wilfried Zaha has had a fine season at Crystal Palace and scored against Southampton on Saturday
The winger struggled when he moved to Manchester United as they failed to create the right conditions for him
Why Sheffield United let League One down against Manchester United
Jurgen Klopp could do something really special at Liverpool... but he needs to stop picking fights at every opportunity
Early in his United career, Zaha sent out a tweet suggesting he was bored and there was nothing to do in Manchester.
It was a sign of immaturity from a man who had just cost £15million. And the tone was set. Here was a kid who had grown up in south London, taken from the heart of his homeland, taken from the bosom of the club he loved and which loved him back, and in short was made to feel very unwelcome at Old Trafford.
Comments on the training ground designed possibly to strengthen the character of this raw fish out of water, only survived to undermine and shatter any confidence Zaha was trying to build up.
Louis van Gaal is betraying the Manchester United way... one... Newcastle vs Manchester United: Team news, kick-off time,... Premier League team news, odds and stats ahead of the... Manchester United have bored me at times this season, Louis...
Some will say his wages are so high he should be able to cope, some will say he needed to be mentally stronger.
At the end of it all, an extremely talented player failed to flourish at one of the world’s biggest clubs, and it wasn’t because he lacked ability. Regardless of whether you think Zaha was at fault, it’s shameful that a club the size of United couldn’t bring out the best in him. Credit to Palace who clearly know how to do so.
Zaha saw his opportunities limited under former manager David Moyes and he returned to Palace
United’s loss is Palace’s gain and anyone who has watched Zaha enough this season will tell you he causes nightmares for defenders, his dynamism makes things happen for the Eagles, and he is thoroughly entertaining to watch.
But is he doing enough to earn an England recall?
Zaha’s England career spans two games and consists of just 20 minutes on the pitch. He was one of Roy Hodgson’s substitutes in that shocking 4-2 defeat in Sweden in 2012 – when Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored all four including that stunning overhead kick.
Few England subs from that game got another chance: Ryan Shawcross, Carl Jenkinson and Tom Huddlestone have yet to reappear in an England jersey.
The 23-year-old has just two England caps after coming off the bench against Sweden and Scotland
Roy Hodgson should consider rewarding Zaha's excellent form with a call-up to the England squad
Zaha had 15 minutes at the end of a 3-2 win over Scotland at Wembley in August 2013 but that’s been it.
He got the winner on Saturday at Saints but what was really impressive was how he slotted in at right back when Joel Ward surged up the field to score Palace’s first. He’s added game intelligence to his undoubted attacking talents.
As an impact substitute, Zaha could make a mark for England. It’s worth Hodgson heading back to his roots and checking out the flying Eagle.
Zaha showed how he's maturing as a footballer when he filled in for Joel Ward at right back

Hello, I'm Robert Bidinotto. Thanks for stopping by. I'm author of the #1 Kindle bestselling thriller, "HUNTER," and its award-winning sequel, "BAD DEEDS." I've also been a widely published, award-winning investigative journalist, magazine editor, and nonfiction author.... Ever since I watched "The Lone Ranger" and read Batman comics as a boy in the 1950s, the pursuit of justice became a life-long passion. Justice was the theme of my nonfiction work, including investigative reporting and nonfiction books about crime and the criminal justice system. Now, the quest for justice has become the theme of my fiction-writing, too.... Like me, the hero of my Dylan Hunter thrillers is motivated by his passion for justice. He just can't walk away when there's an injustice against people he cares about. Too often, the institutions of the law are too inept to do anything on behalf of victims; and sometimes, those in power are themselves responsible for perpetrating the injustices. That's why Dylan Hunter felt compelled to become a vigilante. It's why I refer to him as "the new face of justice." And it's why I refer to myself as "The Vigilante Author." So if tales of justice are your thing, then, like thousands of readers, I think you'll enjoy my Dylan Hunter thrillers.... With my talented musician wife, Cynthia, and our stridently individualistic cat, Luna, I make my home on the Chesapeake Bay. I enjoy communicating with my readers. So please feel free to contact me through my blog, "The Vigilante Author, at www.bidinotto.com. While you're there, be sure to sign up on my email list, to get free premiums and be notified of new releases in the series. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy "HUNTER," "BAD DEEDS," and the continuing adventures of Dylan Hunter -- "the new face of justice."
Ever since the publication of HUNTER in 2011, I have believed that the story and its hero are tailor-made for multimedia development — as a film franchise, TV series, and/or videogames. But when my entertainment attorney explored film possibilities a few years ago, nibbles didn’t turn into bites. And frankly, I’ve been of mixed minds about entrusting my stories to Hollywood anyway, knowing how the film industry mangles so many book adaptations — and also knowing that th
Almost daily, I receive private (and sometimes public) inquiries about the status of my current work in progress, WINNER TAKES ALL. The delay in finishing and publishing the third tale in the Dylan Hunter thriller series is taxing the patience of his devoted fans, and knowing that only adds to my own stress. I feel I owe readers an explanation, and perhaps a public comment will ease the number of personal email replies I’ve had to write. The book has posed challenges for me on a numbe
In my previous post, I interviewed Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Assassins and other acclaimed spy thrillers, including The Book of Spies and The Last Spymaster. A former co-author with Robert Ludlum, Gayle also co-founded International Thriller Writers, the major organization for thriller authors. Gayle just read HUNTER, and here’s what she says about it: “From the first sentence, you’ll be riveted by the explosive journey of HUNTER into Washington, D.C.’s, co
New York Times bestseller Gayle Lynds is the award-winning author of ten international espionage novels, including The Assassins, The Book of Spies, and The Last Spymaster. “Reigning Queen of Espionage Fiction” Gayle’s career began with her short stories being published in literary journals while she also wrote male pulp novels (including popular entries in the bestselling “Nick Carter” and “Mack Bolan” series).

Before I began to create fiction, I anticipated that the hardest thing for me would be writing believable dialogue and — for this series of novels — creating a credible romance between Dylan Hunter and Annie Woods. I worried about whether the former would ring true and was terrified that the latter might seem ridiculous. On the other hand, I thought that since I have a pretty logical mind, plotting the stories would be a snap. Well, it turned out to be exactly the opposite. Dialogue f
Many Dylan Hunter fans ask me, “What is your next thriller going to be about?” I’m still writing WINNER TAKES ALL and aim to have it completed by summer. But for now, let me answer the question with this promotional “teaser”: *** A murderous conspiracy for ultimate power… Engaged to be married, journalist Dylan Hunter and CIA officer Annie Woods are eager to put their violent past behind them, for good. But then an idealistic presidential candida
The Audiobook Blog, an international review site for audio products, has published a glowing review of the audio edition of HUNTER, by site reviewer Victor Dima. He says that the story “is a great one, filled with tense moments, interesting facts, ideas and the right amount of romance. Oh, yeah, and the ending is very satisfying as well.” He continues: Besides being a great thriller, HUNTER brings together aspects from romance, mystery, police procedurals and espionage…
Folks, this interview introduction will be longer than usual, because the author I’m spotlighting deserves a proper build-up. One of the most humbling experiences any writer can undergo is to encounter another writer whose output and success put one’s own to shame. And it’s downright humiliating when that other author began his publishing career the same month you did—but has written and published dozens of thrillers during the same period that you only wrote and publis

The dry strength of paper covers various strength parameters which are determined on the dry paper, such as dry tensile strength, bursting strength, cleavage strength or strength in the z direction, stiffness, buckling resistance and surface strength (cf. �Dry Strength Additives�, Ed. W. F. Reynolds, TAPPI Press 1980, Atlanta). For increasing the dry strength, certain additives can be added to paper. The dry strength is determined primarily by hydrogen bridges within the paper sheet, in addition to the natural strength of the cellulose fibres themselves. Polymeric, hydrophilic additives which can form hydrogen bridges with the cellulose fibres and thus increase the contact area between the cellulose fibres have therefore proved useful. Typical examples of these are starch, galactomannans, polyacrylamides, carboxymethylcellulose and polyvinyl alcohol.
Initiators used for the polymerization are in general free radical initiators, preferably peroxo or azo compounds. Examples of these are hydrogen peroxide, sodium, potassium and ammonium peroxodisulphate, di-tert-butyl peroxide, dibenzoyl peroxide, azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2′-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile), 2,2′-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) and 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride. Preferred among these are initiators having a water solubility of >1% by weight at 23� C., such as, for example, hydrogen peroxide and potassium and ammonium peroxodisulphate.
The concentration of the graft polymer solutions prepared by the two-stage process is preferably 5-25% by weight and in particular 12-22% by weight. The viscosity of the resulting solutions is preferably <5 000 mPa.s measured at 23� C. by means of a rotational viscometer.

Example pH established
0.5% or 1.5% of each of the polymers from the preceding preparation examples were added with stirring to a wastepaper-containing stock suspension having a consistency of about 5 g/l, prepared from rebeaten, CaCO3-containing lining cardboard. After a mixing time of 2.5 minutes, 0.2% of a retention aid (RETAMINOL E, Bayer AG) was added. After a further mixing time of 10 s, sheets were formed using a Rapid-Koethen laboratory sheet former. These were dried for 7 min in the connected dryer and then conditioned overnight at 23� C. and 50% relative humidity. The ash content of the laboratory sheets without polymer addition, determined by ashing at about 900� C., was 11-13%. The basis weights of the sheets formed were in the range 65-85 μm2.
The sheets thus formed were measured with regard to dry tensile strength using an apparatus from Frank and with regard to the bursting strength using an apparatus from Lorentzen & Wettre. From these data, the relative increase in the dry tensile strength and in the bursting strength was calculated, relative to a comparative sample without addition of a corresponding dry strength agent. The following formula, which is shown here by way of example for the dry tensile strength, was used for the calculation:
Relative increase in the dry tensile strength = Δ DTS = ( SDTS Test sample - SDTS Zero sample ) SDTS Zero sample � 100 [ % ] where:
SDTS=Standardized dry tensile strength in N Zero sample=Laboratory sheet without dry strength agent Test sample=Laboratory sheet with dry strength agent to be tested All measured values of the dry tensile strength and of the bursting strength were based on a basis weight of 80 g/m2, with the result that the standardized dry tensile strength was calculated from the measured dry tensile strength:
Standardized dry tensile strength = SDTS = ( DTS � BW ) 80 where:
DTS=Measured value of the dry tensile strength BW=Basis weight of the associated laboratory sheet in g/m2 Analogous procedures were used for calculating the standardized bursting strength or the relative increase in the bursting strength.

The starch suspension is heated to 85� C., the starch glutenizing and forming a slightly turbid solution. After 85� C. have been reached, stirring is continued for 15 min and then 0.5 g of glacial acetic acid, 0.15 g of Rongalit� C (sodium formaldehyde sulphoxylate dihydrate) and 25.6 g of a 65% strength aqueous solution of diallyldimethylammonium chloride are added. For initiation of the 1 st polymerization stage, the following solution is metered in uniformly over 30 min at 85� C.:

Manchester City 0 Manchester United 0: Roberto Mancini's tactics turn fiery derby into bore draw | Daily Mail Online
Manchester City 0 Manchester United 0: Roberto Mancini's tactics turn fiery derby into bore draw By
07:50 EDT, 11 November 2010
There is nothing more satisfying than winning a Manchester derby, Sir Alex Ferguson suggested on the eve of this encounter, and there would appear to be nothing worse than losing one, either.That seemed to be uppermost in the thoughts of the players here last night, and in particular in the mind of the ultra-cautious Roberto Mancini. Ferguson blamed ‘too much tension in the build-up’ and, on a night when Audley Harrison and David Haye brought a bit of Las Vegas glitz to Eastlands, the fear and loathing between two heavyweight football clubs ruined this as a spectacle.Having said how important it was to show their neighbours respect this week, Mancini probably over-compensated. He selected a strong Manchester City side but it was organised to smother rather than smash Manchester United, the deployment of Yaya Toure as an attacking midfielder in the Steven Gerrard mould an approach the Italian really needs to abandon. Tempers flare: Manchester United's Rafael Da Silva (left) confronts City's Carlos Tevez
It did not help that Carlos Tevez was
not fit. City’s skipper was struggling with a thigh problem in the days
before this match and he was not his usual all-action self, the absence
of any real support making it all the more difficult for him against his old team. Mancini might have said United now know City are capable of beating them at any time but at no point last night did they dare prove to them that they could. It was not only because of Toure’s shortcomings that Tevez was isolated. It was as much because James Milner and David Silva appeared to be under orders to protect the full back first and attack second.The only positive, for City, was their
success in putting a stop to United’s brief period of dominance. They had seen United win the last four Barclays Premier League meetings and this certainly wasn’t as painful as the two that came most recently. That winner from Michael Owen. That header from Paul Scholes. Both scored in the dying moments. No way past: Neither side was attacking enough to breach each other's solid defence
Paralysed by the fear of a repeat, by taunts from Ferguson that until they had put a trophy on the table they needed to belt up, City showed a depressing lack of ambition. There was no invention in their football. No flair and finesse. They were committed and well organised, not least in a second half that United dominated. But even City’s supporters were vocal in expressing their frustration with a lack
of urgency and courage. With Mancini’s refusal to try something different until late in the game. It took him 72 minutes to unleash Adam
Johnson from the bench, as a replacement for the industrious but ineffective Milner. United played the more fluent football but, in fairness to City, they were not much better, as Ferguson was the first to admit. Like City, the first intention was to avoid defeat, and in so doing they remain unbeaten this season. Indeed, it is a run that extends into last season — 17 in the Premier League and
25 in all competitions. Rough and tumble: Wes Brown brings down James Milner
As a result, opportunities were limited at both ends. Nani unleashed a free-kick that proved no problem for Joe Hart in the opening minutes, while Michael Carrick ended a decent United move with a shot that drifted wide. But it was not living up to its pre-match billing, never mind the levels of entertainment created by the
managers on the eve of this derby. ‘It’ll be a great match,’ said Ferguson. It was not even close.Only when Silva slipped a nice ball into the path of Milner did City look like threatening, and even then Nemanja Vidic was there to make an important interception. City went closest to scoring in the first half when Scholes shoved Milner to the ground and invited Tevez to have a crack from 26 yards. The free-kick was a fine one, but so was the save from Edwin van der Sar.The sight of golf’s world No 1 Lee Westwood in animated conversation with Fabio Capello begged the question
of what they could possibly be discussing. The fact that the Ryder Cup was far more exciting than this? Quite possibly, although it got a bit more lively when Rafael clashed briefly with Tevez, and again when the excellent Vidic hacked down a marauding Yaya Toure. He's a good striker, Fabio: With the derby clash not exactly living up to
expectations, at least England
manager and keen golfer Fabio Capello had world No 1 Lee Westwood
on hand to offer him some advice
But the first half ultimately ended in
disappointment, even if the six Manchester derbies prior to this had also reached the interval without producing a goal. The home team failed
to win on all six occasions as well and the away team looked the more dangerous of these teams, especially after the break.
Sadly, the second half was not a lot better than the first. Dimitar Berbatov met a cross from Wes Brown with a
super volley that forced Hart to make a good save, but there was little
in response. When the fourth official put up the board to indicate there would be four minutes of stoppage time, the reaction was telling.It was a chorus of groans that came from the crowd. Not a roar, urging the players to increase the tempo in desperate pursuit of the winner. Not cries of encouragement in the hope of inflicting more pain on their neighbours. No, it was fear that spread through the stands like that virus spread through United ranks earlier this week. The fear of conceding another late goal. The fear of seeing those noisy neighbours have something to shout about. When the final whistle was blown, fear stepped aside for relief. RELATED ARTICLES

Tyco Will Revamp Fiber Optics Unit - The New York Times

Tyco Will Revamp Fiber Optics Unit
By REUTERS JAN. 18, 2000
The diversified manufacturer Tyco International Ltd. said today that its undersea fiber optics business would operate its own global undersea fiber optic communications network and that it would offer 20 percent of the new company in an initial public offering.
Upon its completion, the new system, to be known as the TyCom Global Network, would be the largest and most advanced global undersea telecommunications fiber optic network, the company said.
Tyco said it expected to file a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in the first quarter of 2000 and to complete the initial offering by midyear, depending upon market conditions.
Tyco and the management team of its wholly owned subsidiary Tyco Submarine Systems Ltd., which has been responsible for the company's undersea fiber optics business, will manage TyCom.
Tyco said it would use its own equipment for the network and had begun the first phase of construction.
The decision to commit Tyco's undersea fiber optics business to the introduction of TyCom was based on the demand for undersea fiber optic networks to serve growing worldwide communication needs, the company said.
Tyco Submarine makes cable, repeater and transmission equipment at plants in New Hampshire, New Jersey and Virginia. It owns and operates 13 cable ships for the installation and maintenance of undersea communication network systems. The subsidiary has completed 85 undersea fiber optic networks, consisting of more than 350,000 kilometers of fiber optic cable and connecting over 100 countries.
