This one was bent around a 1⁄2” bolt in a bench-mounted vice. Picture three is my setup. The belt will shrink from the initial length as you make it. This one is 53 1⁄2”, which shrinks down to 44”. The carabiner is initially tied tight to the clamp at this end, as it seems easier to set up this way. Once you get going, replace the tie with a bungie cord, so the belt can shorten as it wants to. The whole idea is to pack as many crossing runs into your length as possible, and having the bungie-mounted end will help with that.

Check for a good fit on your wrist at this point. If it’s too loose or too tight, untie, adjust your starting measurement to be longer or shorter to correct, and try again. I have to do this myself sometimes. Take your hemostats and work them through about three of the center weaves, towards the buckle end. Grasp the working strand and pull it back through the center weaves. Trim the end with your scissors, quickly melt the end to prevent the cord from fraying, and tuck it under the weave. Now do the same with the shorter end of cord and you’re done.

Com/id/How-To-Adjustable-Paracord-Bracelet/) In this Instructable, I will show you how to make an adjustable paracord bracelet. I will be showing how to make a bracelet adjustable from 7” to 9”.

#BookReview The Last Collection by Jeanne Mackin @FreshFiction @BerkleyPub

The Last Collection: A Novel of Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel by Jeanne Mackin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An American woman becomes entangled in the intense rivalry between iconic fashion designers Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli in this captivating novel from the acclaimed author of The Beautiful American.

Paris, 1938. Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli are fighting for recognition as the most successful and influential fashion designer in France, and their rivalry is already legendary. They oppose each other at every turn, in both their politics and their designs: Chanel’s are classic, elegant, and practical; Schiaparelli’s bold, experimental, and surreal.

When Lily Sutter, a recently widowed young American teacher, visits her brother, Charlie, in Paris, he insists on buying her a couture dress—a Chanel. Lily, however, prefers a Schiaparelli. Charlie’s beautiful and socially prominent girlfriend soon begins wearing Schiaparelli’s designs as well, and much of Paris follows in her footsteps.

Schiaparelli offers budding artist Lily a job at her store, and Lily finds herself increasingly involved with Schiaparelli and Chanel’s personal war. Their fierce competition reaches new and dangerous heights as the Nazis and the looming threat of World War II bear down on Paris.

Lily Sutter had no idea that an invitation from her brother to come to Paris would introduce her both to Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel. The year is 1939, and the Nazi threat is growing stronger and stronger. However, in Paris is it already war - a fashion war between Chanel and Schiaparelli. For Lily, it all starts with her wanting a Schiaparelli dress instead of a Chanel. Suddenly, Lily a teacher, is offered a job at Schiaparelli store. But it's a time of unrest and being in Paris at the time could be dangerous...

She was preceded in death by her husband, Earl, of 63 years, her parents, Martin & Marjorie Conley; brother, Jim Conley and son-in-law Randall Greggs.

Gini had the unique ability to light up a room by her very presence. She was an elegant lady whose style and grace shone brightly. She had a zest for life and treasured time spent with family and friends. Her devout Catholic faith allowed her to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

Gini was born (10-7-1927) in Illinois and married her high school sweetheart Earl after he returned home from WWII. They later moved to Minnesota remaining there until retirement brought them to Arizona in 1984. Gini had many interests, but the strongest was a life long affinity and love for art. She was an accomplished artist & particularly enjoyed oil painting. She spent many hours in her art studio creating beautiful works of art. She shared her artistic talents as a volunteer in Occupational Therapy at local hospitals. She also loved Gardening and was active in Gardening Clubs. She and Earl also loved raising Golden Retrievers. Their love of dogs was passed on to their immediate & extended family!

Our entire family & friends will miss our mom’s shining light & sweet smile. But we will hold her “starlight” next to our hearts & cherish all the loving memories!

Donations, in lieu of flowers may be made in Mary’s (Gini’s) name to the Arizona Humane Society.

After interior of a kitchen leading to living room.

Extended in Tattenhoe

Our client wanted to create a larger kitchen family area, and a space to sit with friends and enjoy the views over the sunnier side of the house. They’d already thought that converting the garage to livable space may be part of the answer, but our job was to show how the existing and new spaces could be satisfactorily connected together. The resulting scheme achieves a very spacious house, with rooms that allow for separate activities to take place without interference, but also when the time is right, the doors can be opened to allow the new spaces to fully interact. Large folding sliding doors to the garden also allow the outside spaces to be used in conjunction too.
Our client said the following:

“The design has also allowed for some flexibility in how we use our living spaces, which has meant that we have been able to make the most of the increased light coming from the bifold doors and velux windows. We’re delighted with the new living area and the vaulted ceiling has created even more of a spacious feel than we had anticipated”.

The client is extremely pleased with the end result, as are we. To have choices in the way you use space is nice to have, and even though it isn’t requested by clients, we’ll suggest this to clients in the future.

We had been recommended to this client by a previous client, which makes it so much more rewarding.

Students will be able to describe, narrate, and debate abstract concepts with high intermediate-level proficiency in written and spoken French, as measured by ACTFL standards. Students will compile a critical, methodological toolbox with which to appreciate, decode and analyze cultural representations. Students will apply a variety of methods of analysis in their approach to literature, film, and other media. Students will engage in critical dialogue with primary and secondary sources. Students will demonstrate informational literacy through research and citation (MLA style) in the field.

Our second goal is foster students’ awareness of cultural biases and ethnocentric views. Students will understand the socio-historical context of numerous French and Francophone cultural productions across time periods and geopolitical locations. Students will demonstrate understanding and consciousness of their own subject position as well as the subjectivity of the Other in their written essays, oral presentations and contributions to class discussion. Students will apply themselves to an ongoing pursuit of knowledge and personal development and will show curiosity and appreciation for a diverse array of Francophone cultures.

Our third goal is to provide every student with the means to develop purposeful and authentic engagement within a variety of French and Francophone communities and cultures. We strive to offer every student the opportunity to live and flourish within a variety of cultural and geographic contexts, including France, Vietnam, Canada, Sénégal, Morocco and Martinique, and to discard stereotypes and interpret cultural similarities and differences.  Students will complete the French & Francophone Studies major with a portfolio as evidence of their achievements.

Past French & Francophone majors have pursued careers in business, law, communications, education, government, international relations, and diplomacy.

Selecting The Best Note Counter For Your Business

A Wide Range of Business Advantages In A Note Counter

Using a note counter within your cash intensive business is an excellent way of saving both time and money, whilst improving the accuracy of cashing up and banking procedures.

The process of counting money by hand is a difficult task that requires a huge amount of concentration. Even so, it is certain that there will be, from time to time, unavoidable human error in the counting process. Furthermore the identification of any forged notes is almost impossible for the naked eye. The use of note counting technology whilst not particularly new, having been easily achieved by the ‘counting by weight’ principle for some years, has undergone a revolution in recent years with the combination of advanced counting techniques for sorted and unsorted bills along with built in counterfeit detection accredited to the highest possible standards by the European Central Bank (ECB) and Bank of England.

The Need For Speed in Cash Handling

Concentrating on making money for the business rather than counting it, is the most valuable use of time. Time is money, as they say, and cashing up at the end of the day is a time consuming exercise particularly if you have to sort into currency, and then denomination before starting to count notes manually. With the more advanced note counters in the UK market today all of these problems can be overcome, leaving you to think about making money, not counting it. Machines can count sorted and unsorted mixed currency, at rates as high as 1500 bills per minute, which is a staggering 25 bank notes every second. If you need to count a certain amount for a bank deposit a useful batching feature will accomplish this in no time at all for you.

Choose a Note Counter with ECB Counterfeit Detection

It is no longer necessary to check suspicious looking notes under a UV lamp for authenticity. There are up to 6 tests for counterfeit note detectors, including UV, IR, Magnetic Ink, Metal Thread, Size and Thickness to help in the identification of worthless forged currency. A Safescan counter with built in ECB accredited counterfeit detection has all of the above 6 technologies built in for the ultimate in peace of mind.

Saving time and giving peace of mind that your takings are accounted for accurately note counters are a wise investment for any cash handling business.

8 Simple Internet Marketing Strategies for Promoting Your Blog

If you want to build a business on the internet, a blog is essential. It’s one of the best public relations tools you can create because it allows you to connect with your audience. What I like the most about it is that you can automate much of the promotion, and so you can spend your time connecting with your audience, as well as writing great content. When you build your blog, follow these strategies to start getting traffic quickly.

1. Generate a sitemap and submit to the major search engines.

There are only two search engines to concern yourself with: Google and Bing. Bing drives the results for Yahoo, so this will give you about 80 percent coverage in the search engines. If you use a plugin like SEO by Yoast (it’s what I use), then you can automatically generate a sitemap and then submit it. This is a one time task. After that, monitor your sitemap looking for broken links, as well as to find out how much of your content has been indexed.

2. Submit to blog and RSS directories.

Robin Good offers an excellent list that is constantly updated. Submit your blog to all the sites on the lists so that blog readers can find your content. When you post to your blog, it will automatically update these sites and can drive traffic for you.

3. Comment on other blogs in your topic.

Although blog comments don’t carry as much weight as a linking strategy, don’t ignore this. Blog commenting, like other forms of marketing, is about connecting with your audience. People buy. Search engines and directories don’t. Although they can help you with traffic and sales, they aren’t your sales. When you start blog commenting, provide good content here too. Others will read your comments, and they may just visit your blog.

4. Write guest blog posts.

Guest blogging is one of the most effective ways to get the word out about your blog. You may consider doing a search in the search engines to find sites that accept blog posts. You’ll want to search for guest blogging and your topic. Two sites that may also help you are My Blog Guest and Blog Synergy. Submit your unique content there and have it picked up by others blogs that want what you are writing about.

5. Use social bookmarking.

This internet marketing technique will help you build high ranking backlinks, but it will also turn your content into mini news stories that are often read on these sites. It will help you get traffic and build your overall search engine marketing strategy too. Create a good description, title, and tags. Include your keywords in the title and tag so you get the best results.

6. Use a comprehensive ping list.

A ping list is a list of sites that index blogs, and when you ping them, you are notifying them that your blog has been updated so that they update your content. They may be search engines or RSS directories. You want to get the most coverage possible, and pinging your blog will will do the job for you. There are free services available for you to do this, but if you set up the ping list within your blog, these sites will be pinged automatically and automate this process for you.

7. Write good search engine optimized content.

Before you write your content, make sure you do good keyword research. Find the right keywords for your blog and write good content around it. Don’t forget your readers though. They are the ones who will be reading your content. The search engines will only be indexing it. Give them good content too so that they read it. You’ll build a better relationship with your readers by doing this.

8. Use Facebook plugins to promote.

Facebook offers lots of tools to help you promote your blog content. Since it’s the most popular social site, you have more opportunities to connect with your audience and these plugins will help you. You are more likely to get likes and comments by using these tools too. Once you install the plugin, you can automate the entire process. Just make sure you monitor the comments so you can connect with your readers.

Whether you own a new blog or an old blog, these strategies will help you get more traffic and sales if you apply them. Use them as a checklist to get you started in marketing your blog. Then you’ll connect with your audience and automate your marketing too.

5 Online Tools for Web Tech Entrepreneurs

The World Wide Web is something the world just can’t do without in today’s times. Millions of people around the world go to the internet before making any buying decision. So when starting a new business or a new venture, ignoring the internet may prove to be a costly mistake. If you don’t know what to do when it comes to online marketing, then perhaps this article is going to help you. It may also be that you are already a seasoned veteran in online marketing. However, reading this list of important marketing tools is only going to help you.

a) Google Ad Planner: This is one of those media planning tools that not many people know about or use, but it is really great! This tool lets businesses identify specific target audiences for their products and services and then create an ad plan based on it. The tool lets one find out where a business’s interest- based targets are browsing online and makes it possible to place ads there. This being a free service by Google can be used by anyone and everyone

b) Firebug: This is another marketing tool that is important in the online world. For the proper promotion of your business, you need web development tools and Firebug is a service that is free of cost. Sometimes, ad codes on an advertiser’s website does not work or need to be changed. For this, Firebug is the perfect tool to use.

c) Traffic Estimator: Now this is another important online marketing tool that you need, especially if you are just starting out. This is a tool that has been designed to give people cost estimates and keyword search on search engines that are popularly used. This tool will let you put in keywords, budgets, geographic targeting, match types and CPC’s in order to generate cost estimates of a keyword search campaign. However, this is a tool that has faced a lot of criticism over the years for its failure to provide accurate data every time it is used. So it is advisable that this tool be used with a pinch of salt and not be considered as gospel truth.

d) Microsoft Excel: Now this may not seem like a ‘marketing tool’ as such, but it is actually a very powerful one. Excel has an almost countless number of functions. An online marketer can use Excel to make graphs, charts, calculations, pivot tables, data manipulations and functions. Not only can you use it for creating of reports, analysis, keywords, research campaigns and ads, you can also use this tool for creating a whole ad campaign. So if you are trying to make a mark with online marketing, perhaps you could try and learn as many uses and functions of Microsoft Excel as you can.

e) AdWords Editor: This is a free online marketing tool that is going to help you efficiently and quickly create display, search or remarketing campaigns. Bid and campaign management, two things that an online marketer cannot do without, also becomes possible with this tool.

So far, the show has received over 50 million downloads. On most days, it’s the most popular business podcast on iTunes.

Interviews, whether on video or audio, are inherently conversational, lively, and engaging. The great aspect is that it’s a win-win situation for both sides. The interviewer is exposed to a new audience, while the interviewee is able to provide his website visitors with new fascinating and authoritative information. You can ask an industry influencer to share your interview with their followers on social media if you interview them. Consider the organic traffic you’ll get from their social media followers, which number in the hundreds of thousands. Consider the level of interest generated by a prior Derek Sivers interview on the Tim Ferriss Show. Derek shared the show’s URL with his 283K followers on Twitter. It won’t hurt if you establish a relationship with the influencer as a result of the interview.

Similarly, being interviewed by a high-ranking website can result in a significant increase in search engine traffic. Harsh Agrawal’s blog, Shoutmeloud, received 35,000+ views in a single day after he was profiled by YourStory. That was the blog’s most popular search engine traffic source (with 600,000+ monthly visitors). Because interviews provide consolidated value, they can be used as a long-term lead generating source for your company. Consider how many bloggers you’ve learned about through interviews on YouTube and other high-authority websites.

You may also conduct a Reddit AMA if you have a very compelling storey to tell. Mateen’s AMA got about generating $85,000 in profit by selling TeeSpring shirts/hoodies received 2000 page views. He also boosted the number of visitors to his website on a daily basis.

By registering as a source with HARO, you can also answer queries from journalists. On HARO, Christopher from Snappa came across this question from Inc Magazine about the future of content marketing. He swiftly responded with a thorough response. He was mentioned in Inc a few weeks later as a result of this. HARO is an excellent strategy to have your brand mentioned on authoritative news sites such as Entrepreneur and Inc.

Sierra Leone Civil War Memorial

The Sierra Leone Civil War Memorial is located in Robis, Lungi - approximately three miles from the Freetown International Airport (FNA) on the way to Targrin Ferry Terminal. Entrance to the location is on Juldeh Jalloh road at the orphanage. Ask for the Sengbe Pieh Academy.

Transportation from Freetown to Lungi:

1. Drive: You may drive from Freetown to the Lungi and Robis, but this is nearly a three hour trip through Port Loko.

2. Ferry: The ferry leaves from Kissy Ferry Terminal at Ferry Junction in the East of Freetown at: 8:00AM, 11:00AM, 2:00PM, 5:30PM and 8:00PM.  You may take a return ferry from Lungi back to Freetown at the times listed above.

You can bring your car on the ferry for a cost. Please note that the ferry is not the most reliable form of transportation and may not leave at the expected times for a variety of reasons. Please leave enough time for likely traffic on Kissy Road.

3. Speed Boat: Speed boats leave from the Kissy ferry terminal regularly.  Be aware that this is a quick option but you may get wet!  You should also be prepared to be lifted from the boat and carried to shore where you can walk to the ferry terminal to find a ride to Robis.

4. Sea Coach Express: This water taxi leaves from the terminal by Aberdeen bridge and drops you at their own terminal near the airport. It is reliable and a quick way to get across the river. The price is $40 one-way and can be purchased at:

5. Seabird Water Taxi:This water taxi leaves from the Murray Town roundabout. It is a quick and reliable way to travel.  It drops you at a terminal near the airport.  It is also a $40 cost for a 1-way ticket.  Tickets can be purchased at:

Driving from the ferry: If you choose to drive from the ferry terminal just follow the airport road until you reach the road to Robis located on your right.  Follow this road for a quarter mile where you will turn left at the Robis Mosque.

"This is an episode in the Battle of the Straits of which Britains can be rightly proud. In planes which, against the German protecting aircraft, were as slow as cart horses compared with a motorcar, 18 men of the Fleet Air Arm flew over the Channel. Crippled and ablaze before they got within range, they kept on, delivered their attacks - and died!"

'18 Men We Shall Never Forget'

By Daily Mail Reporter February 1942

The bravery of the Swordfish aircrew in this and all other operations is a matter of history and must never be forgotten.

J.F.N. Wedge, Lieut. RNVR

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of of Honorary Vice President JFN (Bill) Wedge

Bill was the last survivor from HMS Worcester, read his personal account of the Channel Dash

We were fortunate to visit Bill late on in 2019 and record on video his personal recollections and hope to include these in a documentary to mark the 80th Anniversary of the Channel Dash in 2022

Our thoughts and condolences go to Bill's family

With thanks to Rob White of Maritime Films UK

children's class: 1 root: 0The best way to attain nearness to God is to serve Him; we can do this by serving humanity. We should serve everyone, without considering their race, nationality, religion, status, or sex.

Prayers/readings for study

“That one indeed is a man who, today, dedicateth himself to the service of the entire human race.” (Baha’u’llah)

  • Lua and the Sick Man. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá asks Lua Getsinger to take care of a sick man. Ruhi Book 3, Lesson 5.

  • Look at Me. From Ruhi Book 3.

  • Help the Sick. One child pretends to be sick, while two others clasp their hands to form a chair and carry the “sick” child over to the “health center”. children can be taught various rescue carries in this way.

  • The children can act out different scenarios of service, including the story of Lua Getsinger (without attempting to portray ‘Abdu’l-Baha, of course).

  • “Tending the Garden”. Children can either colour a black-and-white drawing of someone tending a garden, or draw themselves tending a garden. The teachers may accompany this drawing with the quote of ‘Abdu’l-Baha given below.

  • Service projects. The children can be encouraged to take on a service project to learn about the importance of serving humanity. Examples could include putting together care packages for disadvantaged families, weeding and/or planting a garden, cleaning the local Baha’i centre or other gathering place, and so on.

That one indeed is a man who, today, dedicateth himself to the service of the entire human race. The Great Being saith: Blessed and happy is he that ariseth to promote the best interests of the peoples and kindreds of the earth. In another passage He hath proclaimed: It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens. (Baha’u’llah, Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p.250)

“To one who visited in Haifa, ‘Abdu’l-Baha said substantially, in likening the Cause of God to a Garden: ‘At the gate of the garden some stand and look within, but do not care to enter. Others step inside, behold its beauty, but do not penetrate far. Still others encircle this garden inhaling the fragrance of the flowers, having enjoyed its full beauty, pass out again by the same gate. But there are always some who enter and, becoming intoxicated with the splendor of what they behold, remain for life to tend the garden’.” (“The Garden of the Heart”, a compilation by Frances Esty)

Weakness of Will, the Background, and Chinese Thought

Weakness of Will, the Background, and Chinese Thought. Co-authored with Kai-yee Wong. In Searle’s Philosophy and Chinese Philosophy: Constructive Engagement, ed. Bo Mou, Leiden: Brill (2008): 313–33.

Written with my friend and colleague, Kai-yee Wong, this paper was published in an anthology that grew out of a conference held by the ISCWP in June 2005. Although the anthology did not appear until 2008, the paper was written in 2005. The page numbers in the published version are indicated in the pdf.

Abstract: This essay applies John Searle’s account of weakness of will to explore the classical Chinese problem of weak-willed action. Searle’s discussion focuses on the shortcomings of the Western classical model of rationality in explaining weakness of will, so he naturally says little about the practical ethical problem of overcoming weak-willed action, the focus of the relevant Chinese texts. Yet his theory of action, specifically his notion of the Background, suggests a compelling approach to the practical issue, one that converges with a plausible account of the classical Chinese conception of agency. On this approach, the practical problem is due to weaknesses of the self in carrying out intentions. The key to overcoming the problem lies not in restructuring the agent’s affective states, as suggested by prominent interpreters of Chinese thought such as David Nivison, but in strengthening the agent’s Background capacities, much as we do when mastering new skills.

Robot Research Claudia Muhl
In my research I address the problem of human interaction with communication robots. Integrating the range of concerned topics, my attempt is to contribute with a crossdisciplinary perspective on the social robot. Therefore, I work on the sitautional components of HRI, applying sociological concepts of action, behavior, and communication. As methodological perspective, I make use of the ethnomethodological approach.
The reciprocal percepience of both partners in an interaction system is depending on the selection of parameters which are taken into account. Context-aware systems enclose the fact of situatedness and embodiment by the means of reacting to factors from the surroundings, as perceived images or sound input. Though, these data are not hard facts but also are interpreted by the addressee. Each communicative perception therefore can be understood differently, depending on the relation that the partner
selects. A robot automatically computes the sensor input and internally distributes this information, depending on the underlying attention mechanism, speech processor or object recoginition system. Whereas any human partner will dynamically attribute a multiple set of situational and individual factors and adapt to them, with regard to varying phenomena. Hence the technical functionality and complexity of the robot's architecture will influence it's behavior. Moreover the appearance of the robot effects on it's perceptional signals, furthermore the embeddedness in the social situation mutually influences the interaction with the human communication partner.

Goldman Sachs Taps JPMorgan’s Private Blockchain for Repo Trade: Report

Goldman Sachs has conducted its first repo trade using JPMorgan’s private blockchain network.According to a report by Bloomberg on Tuesday, the initial trade was conducted by Goldman on June 17 and came in the form of a tokenized version of a U.S. Treasury bond swapped for JPMCoin. The transaction took three hours and five minutes to complete.JPMCoin is the investment bank’s stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar.Subscribe to , “We see this as a pivotal moment for the digitization of transactional activity,” said Mathew McDermott, global head of digital assets for Goldman’s global markets division, per the report. Repurchase agreements, or repos for short, are a type of loan where financial institutions sell collateralized securities in a contract only to buy them back at an inflated price at some other date, usually overnight. It is particularly beneficial to banks as it enables them to borrow on the cheap.McDermott said the blockchain development was a huge boon to the repo market, currently valued at over $4.6 trillion globally, given how repos function with collateral and cash being interchanged simultaneously and instantaneously.“We pay interest per the minute,” said McDermott. “We firmly think this will change the nature of the intraday marketplace.”See also: Goldman Sachs Plans to Offer Ether Options: Report

Day 9: Excuses, Excuses

                                                                                EXCUSES, EXCUSES

"Jesus replied, 'A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' But they all alike began to make excuses.'"

Luke 14:16-18, NIV

Who among us has not made excuses when it comes to serving God? We would like to be saved, but the Bible is so confusing... I would pray more, but I really don't know what to say... I would have been at worship last week, but my wife was sick in bed - that's why I went golfing...

I suppose there is not one of us who is exempt from failing to do God's will and then "covering our tracks" with some flimsy excuse or another. If we were talking of missing out on something of a physical nature (Like our daughter's rodeo finals or our son's playoff game or our tenth anniversary) we probably wouldn't dream of making an excuse because we really want to take part in those activities, but when it comes to eternal life isn't it amazing how often even the weakest excuse becomes the most reasonable thing in the world to us.

The only problem with excusing ourselves from God's service is this: If we excuse ourselves from serving Him while we are here on earth, what makes us think that He won't excuse us from our service to Him and Jesus in Heaven?

Have you read your Bible today? Today is Day 9 of the Thirty Day Bible Challenge for reading through the New Testament, and the scheduled readings are the 14th through the 21st chapters of Luke. If you have fallen behind or haven't started yet (Or perhaps haven't even heard about it) you can get your start by going to the 30 day Bible challenge website and you will find a suggested reading schedule there.

"But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field and I must go see it. Please excuse me.' Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.' Still another said, 'I just got married, so I can't come.'...

Then the master told his servant... 'I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.'"

Luke 14:19-20, 24, NIV

Santa Cruz Recap

The Banana Slugs of UC Santa Cruz visited San Marcos on Saturday to play the final contest of the Cougars’ three-game home stand. Coming off a win last weekend against Saint Mary’s, San Marcos rode a wave of momentum into a big game against another strong WCLL opponent.

Midfielder Ian Hooks (Sr) got the scoring kicked off early in the 1st with an isolation drive from the restraining line. The Banana Slugs answered quickly however, and kept the game close throughout the opening quarter. The game broke open in the 2nd, when the Banana Slugs were penalized for an illegal stick. The Cougars took advantage, scoring 3 unanswered goals on man-up and taking a 9-5 lead into halftime.

San Marcos came out flat in the 3rd quarter, allowing five goals to Santa Cruz while only scoring one. A 10-10 score at the start of the fourth set the stage for a fantastic finish.

#11 James Delaney (Sr) brings the Cougars within one late in the 4th

#11 James Delaney (Sr) brings the Cougars within one late in the 4th

The Slugs took an 11-10 lead with a goal early in the 4th, and maintained that lead into the late stages of the game. The Cougars found themselves man-down with four minutes to go when Santa Cruz scored an insurance goal, seemingly putting the game away up by two with just over three minutes to play. Following a defensive stand as the clock passed the 2:30 mark, senior LSM James Delaney picked up a groundball and charged down the field in transition. Knowing he had attackmen to back up the shot, Delaney fired from just inside the restraining box and scored on a beautiful bouncer to the top-shelf.

With momentum they hadn’t seen since the 2nd, the Cougars looked again to freshman midfielder Iain Holman to make a play. Taking the face-off with 2:14 to go, Holman won the ball and took it to the cage himself, scoring from the doorstep and tying the game up with 1:57 to go in regulation.

The Banana Slugs made a big mental mistake moments after the Cougars tied the game, committing a delay of game penalty and giving San Marcos a 30-second man advantage with 1:47 left. The Cougars took advantage again, as attackman Cade Vlacos (Fr) scored the game-winning goal on a drive from behind the cage with 1:21 remaining.

#2 Iain Holman (Fr) ties the game at 12

“It was a total team effort. We dug ourselves a bit of a hole, but I think everyone felt like we were going to pull it out. We got it together just in time and everyone did their part.” Midfielder Iain Holman stated after the game. San Marcos will take to the road this weekend, as they travel to Los Angeles to face Occidental (2-1) on Saturday, February 21st.

Google Page Rankings

Posted on June 20, 2006

I’ve been in one of those “whats the point” ruts. At some point so much piles up on the TODO list that you spend more time manageing that list than taking things off it. When the work grows unpropotional to appreciation at some point you hit that “no one cares, whats the point” rut, that I’m in now. Sometimes Google can provide some comfort, so I thought I’d do a quick check of some of my page rankings. Here’s what I found.

Google Ranking as of 6/20/06:

[ - indicates ranking is >100 ]

So I guess, based on this, I should be pushing even more on iSCSI, since thats my nitch. I’ve clearly got VxVM covered. I doubt that 3Par likes my ranking of 19… especially given that its not the most flattering review. I’m proud of my #2 for “RHEL Sucks”.

To be clear, these rankings are based on cuddletech’s ranking, not mine. In many cases sites that I manage or articles that mention me are even higher than the cuddletech ranking.

The two most common names I saw in the rankings besides my own were Phil Brown’s and Mark Mayo’s VMUNIX Blues. So I should either respect these guys immensely as comrads or kill them for their ranking…. but both of them are amazing guys and really kool, so I suppose I’ll have to let them live. When I get my LDAP stuff done I’ll really finally give BoltHole a run for the money… except of course that neither Phil or myself get anything for our resources. Oh well. Thankfully we both have really really understanding and wonderful wives.

Today, in the United States, there is an increasing demand for heating, ventilation, air conditioning services, and refrigeration (HVAC/R). The demand can be seen mostly in several regions that usually experienced temperature extremes. However, it can also be noted in some areas having large industrial plants and cities with high rates of construction.

The increasing demand is, in fact, notable where the Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected that there will be massive opportunities for HVAC/R installers and mechanics all over the country. An increase of 14% is expected to rise until 2024 and it is significantly faster compared to the average growth expected across U.S. occupations during the same time.

Apparently, the projections may be optimistic, but it is still a bit harder to be a great and established HVAC/R contractor today, especially without any means of support from others. Having a thorough knowledge about mechanical know-how, delivering the best designs, or any HVAC services is imperative to your career. That is why it is crucial to connect with your fellow HVAC professionals and be actively involved in the industry.

The best way to do this is to participate or join organizations dedicated to HVAC. Being a member of any of the organizations will make you a well-informed HVAC/R contractor. So, here are the top seven HVAC associations you should know today.

Founded in 1984, ASHRAE is an American society that pursues to advance HVAC/R system designs and construction. With over fifty-four thousand members from over one thirty nations, ASHRAE has focused on energy efficiency, indoor air quality, building systems, and refrigeration in the HVAC industry. The organization has been shaping tomorrow’s environment through publishing, research, standards writing and continuing education.

ASHRAE members include some of the most influential HVAC techs, educators, and HVAC/R legislators in the United States. As the most influential and largest HVAC/R organization, it gives all members incomparable access to certifications, collaboration, and education across every industry subset. Any member can find research on major topics like sound pollution, green energy systems, and industry techs like team management software. An annual meeting is also planned and held where members around the country are allowed to share their best practices and personal insights related to HVAC/R.

Members can enjoy various benefits like membership discounts and access to the AMCA testing laboratory. The organization is also holding several meetings where issues of interest concerning the industry are discussed. In addition to the meetings, periodic engineering sessions and maintaining industry relations toward other organizations are also included in the perks of being a member of AMCA.

RSES has been the authority in terms of refrigeration training in the United States, since 1933. The focus has resulted in an incredible complexity and depth of knowledge for RSES, which is exhibited in the monthly RSES journal. RSES also encourages cutting-edge research in addition to endorsing training on various methodologies. The organization conference is one of the biggest industry events that draw thousands of HVAC/R professionals every year.

In addition to delivering education programs, the organization also publishes various training materials for advancing HVAC/R professionals throughout their careers. The training held by RSES will cover all aspects of the industry. They will also give several certifications like NATE and EPA certifications. Apparently, these certifications signify an HVAC professional has possessed the technical skills and knowledge or other requirements for servicing and installing today’s complex HVAC/R systems.

Who should join?

This includes HVAC engineers, contractors, sales, instructors, students, HVAC service installers and even maintenance personnel. To be clear, anyone who is actively engaged in the HVAC industry can be a member of this organization.

Membership Benefits:

RSES members can enjoy training, timely information/updates, certification preparation and advanced education. They can also benefit from reduced rates on some goods and services, including their family members.

ACCA is a non-profit association where memberships exceed more than sixty thousand professionals ranging from businesses in the energy community and indoor environment. All members can work together to promote energy efficiency, professional contracting, and healthy and comfortable indoor environments.

The association’s claim to fame isn’t about being an organization for HVAC/R companies, customers and independent contractors. Instead, ACCA proudly represents the main interests of all three mentioned.

Who should join?

Everybody or anyone associated within the HVAC industry. It mainly includes manufacturers, HVAC contractors, suppliers, wholesalers, technicians, facility operators, and anyone doing business/negotiations with HVAC professionals.

Membership benefits:

Interaction of excitons in two-dimensional potentials

Voros, Zoltan (2008) Interaction of excitons in two-dimensional potentials. Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh. (Unpublished)

Primary Text

Download (2MB) | Preview

In the present thesis we discuss experimental work related to the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of bound electron-hole pairs (excitons) in GaAs coupled quantum wells. Coupled quantum wells were chosen because in these structures the lifetime of excitons can be extended to the $mu$s range. In the experiments, by measuring their diffusion, we have proved that excitons can move freely in two dimensions, and we have proved that they can reach thermal equilibrium during their lifetime in a confining stress potential in the plane of the quantum wells. Having an equilibrium ensemble of these quasi-particles enabled us to measure their interaction potential in a controlled environment. We also introduce a simple theoretical model that accounts for the experimental findings on interaction. In the final chapter we discuss a new phenomenon at high stress, and evaluate its possible relation to excitonic BEC.
