With the aim of meeting the increasing demand of the Chinese composites and flooring industries for highly conductive and reinforced materials, OCSiAl, the leading manufacturer of single wall carbon nanotubes, has entered into a partnership with the Chinese raw materials supplier Nanjing Leiqi by signing an agreement on the purchase and marketing of nanotube-based technologies and products in China.
TUBALL single wall carbon nanotubes, produced by OCSiAl, are often referred to as graphene nanotubes, as they are in fact a rolled graphene sheet. Due to their exceptional characteristics, single wall carbon nanotubes form an interconnecting conductive 3D network throughout the material matrix at extremely low concentrations, starting from just 0.01%. In contrast, to achieve the same conductivity characteristics, multiwall carbon nanotubes require a concentration 10 to 20 times higher, and conductive carbon black requires a concentration 100 times higher.
Nanjing Leiqi will commercialise TUBALL MATRIX and TUBALL COMP_E, which are cutting-edge concentrates containing TUBALL nanotubes. TUBALL COMP_E, based on low-viscosity resins that contain 0.7% of high-quality TUBALL single wall carbon nanotubes, was developed particularly for providing epoxy and polyester resins with high-level electrical conductivity. The revolutionary TUBALL MATRIX line of super-concentrates, which was specially developed for the composites and coatings industries, guarantees uniform volume resistivity in the range 10 8 –10 2 Ω·cm and also increases important characteristics of the material such as strength and fracture and abrasion resistance.
"Chinese manufacturers have always expressed high interest for the most revolutionary technologies and solutions. The recently held Shanhai International Floor Industry Exhibition has demonstrated once again that the flooring industry sorely needs a universal additive that will enable conductivity of floorings as well as maintain vivid colours and smooth surfaces. Nanjing Leiqi is one of the advanced companies that will make a leap forward in the conductive composites and flooring industries by introducing innovative single wall carbon nanotubes," comments Aleksei Minakov, CEO OCSiAl China.

For those of you with the period and endurance to collect more than enough empty plastic material bottles, right here is usually a step-by-step guidebook for building a plastic-bottle greenhouse. www.buyshowercurtain.com
Producing this type of greenhouse is definitely fairly inexpensive and easy, but it is normally also a little bit of an undertaking in conditions of work and period, especially if you've never completed anything like it before. It does make a great project for a large group or community or school company, but you can perform this on your own, too. There is no cause why everyone should not have a great PET-plastic construction in their lawn. nice shower curtains.
shower curtains under $10,You will need around 1400 clean 2-litre (40-oz) plastic material containers to build a greenhouse that is 8′ x 6′.
Rembrandt – Rembrandt and Saskia in the Scene of the Prodigal Son Shower Curtain yellow n grey shower curtain.
Use a U-shaped nail or staple or fence-stapling cable that is wide enough to support the wire, dowel, or canes you're using.
shower curtains in spanish,Another way to build your greenhouse would be to interlock all the plastic material containers together, one on best of the various other, but without a dowel or cane as central support. After that wires can become strung both inside and outside the greenhouse to hold the bottles in placement, as proven in the photo below.
You will take note that, in this project, the lids were left on the bottles. There was no need to remove them, as nothing was getting threaded up through the containers. I must admit I quite like this idea as it means one less place for pests to enter and make themselves at house.
Shower curtain stall,Plastic bottle greenhouses can also be insulated to keep out cold draughts and shield from rainfall. Recycled parts of bubble wrap perform the work really well.

Sure they sleep a lot but with all of that sleep they usually wake raring to go and if there's no chance of exercise immediately you know they turn to the furniture, the shoes, the cushions or just running through your house or apartment as though a ghost is chasing them!
So here at 'The Dog's Balls' we're in the process of creating masses of dog toys for every dog mood, every possible weather condition and for every size of living space to help you to keep your dog entertained - or even for you to be able to gift these toys to your family, friends and dog walking partners for birthdays, Christmas or other celebrations.
Each dog toy we make comes with a fun and unique retail dog tag describing the toy in a fun way with a colourful character making our toys ideal gifts and presents. We often joke around with one of our team who took The Dog's Balls as a gift on a first date with a dog lover, what an ice breaker that was and what a great date ensued!
So that's what we're about and what we love doing for you and your hound is bringing you great dog toys and always trying to get the balance right between ease of play and durability. Be it the right bounce for a tennis ball or the right chewability for a rubber ball always balanced with some toughness - we know there are tough dogs out there and achieving that balance is always our greatest challenge.
Take a look at our store front for other doggie ideas, including The Dog's Bed.
We welcome your feedback, suggestions, and stories of doggie dates, email us, or leave us a product review (particularly if you're really happy) :) Woof Woof!

Australian golfer Rodger Davis (right), famous for his plus-fours worn with long socks, dons traditional Cambodian garb for post-tournament festivities at the Victoria Angkor Resort after his decisive win in the Victoria Angkor Resort Pro-Am in Siem Reap. Photo by: Hanno Stamm
Siem Reap
A masterclass in golf by former World Top 10 player and 1987 British Open runner up, Rodger Davis, saw him cruise to victory in the Victoria Angkor Resort Pro-Am tournament in Siem Reap on Friday.
The 59-year-old Australian golfing legend finished with a ten under par 278 total from the four days of play, a whopping 13 shots ahead of his nearest rival, Steven Morshuis, an Australian PGA Seniors Tour player.
Although Davis' best round at the Angkor Golf Resort was a first day 68 on Tuesday, his biggest crowd-pleasing performance was on the final day on Friday when he hit a 69, including birdies on holes five, six, eleven and thirteen.
Angkor Golf Resort manager Adam Robertson was delighted that a player of Davis' calibre signed up to compete in the Pro-Am in Cambodia, and was doubly delighted by the veteran's display.
"His first day play, when he came in at four under with a score of 68, really set the tone for the standard of golf that he was going to play throughout the four days," said Robertson. "It was always on the cards that he was going to win – it was just a matter of who came second, and how much Davis won by."
Old habits die hard for the nattily-dressed Davis, who still smokes cigarettes incessantly while playing.
In this year's Victoria Angkor Resort Pro-Am, a field of 15 professional golfers and 37 amateur golfers from Australia competed over four rounds with stroke play used for the professionals, and a stableford scoring system used for amateurs. It was the second such Pro-Am event to be held at the Angkor Golf Resort after a tournament played two years ago.
Heavy rain delayed play on Wednesday's second day, but despite rain squalls occurring every evening after play and with a large part of Siem Reap flooded, the Nick Faldo-designed course managed to cope.
"I don't want to be seen as blowing our own trumpet, but the pros here were quite amazed that the course was still playable, given the amount of rain that we had," said resort manager Robertson. "I put that down to good design, proper drainage, and the fantastic maintenance team we have."

A High Stakes Seduction, Jennifer Lewis
A High Stakes Seduction, Jennifer Lewis
Genre: romance
Review from jeannie zelos book reviews
This sounded fun, a romance but with that extra edge that I need.
Constance, I found her a bit difficult to like at first. She seemed almost judgemental about the ethics of making money from gambling, though as I learned more I understood her background was the guiding force of her principles. Her parents were caring and lovely but very strict minded about gambling, and I felt it was time she moved out and formed her own opinions. She's been kind of sheltered from life, only child of protective, religious people, and not being in a job where high drama reigned…Accountancy and theatrics don't really spring to mind and she doesn't go out much so hasn't had much in the way of romance since school…so when John drops into her life she's lost. He's the ebullient owner of the casino, and smitten with Constance right from the start. He's also been using the profits from the casino to trace and get together members of his Indian heritage, and he's not needed Gov. or banking finance to do it. That doesn't sit well with many people who assume there must be something dodgy behind it. John does everything by the book but life can be like that, sometimes I think people just live to tear down those who are genuine, who work hard for their success. It's that old jealousy thing again. Anyway Constance is there, combing closely through the books and surprised that John is so open with her. She'd been led to expect he'd be evasive but he's not, he can't be more helpful. He doesn't know everything that's been happening though, and when the story blows so does the lid on his steamy relationship with Constance.
Poor Constance, she's not hugely confident about herself, and this really knocks her back with suggestions she's been used in a cover-up….and John is desperate to prove otherwise. He never expected to feel this way about her, he's naturally outgoing and friendly but something in Constance got to him, and he found himself going far further with her than he intended. Now she's retreated and he wants to convince her to come back.
I did find this a little slow to begin, with Constance coming across as very prickly and almost rude sometimes. I can see though that she didn't mean that, its a defensive shyness, and that she just didn't know how to deal with her attraction to John. John was a lovely man, really genuine, wanting to help others and share his success. He's one of those people so full of ideas and energy, someone others love to pull down. There's always a bit of bias from some corners against success, and his Indian heritage caused suspicion among a few people, with bigotry and jealousy coming out.
Its a fun read, and the heat was steaming when John quickly wore down Constance' defences..I saw another side to her then, and it balanced her perfectly. I liked the way she came out of her shell, began to look at living life and look to her future, yet retained all her hard won integrity. Without that we are nothing. We do see a few other characters in the book, but it's mostly John and Constance. The drama, the bit where the S—t hits the fan – I wished it had been a bit more prolonged, I do like the sad parts to be drawn out, so that when they get together again it's so much sweeter. Still, it worked well as it was, and gave me the HEA that I need.

Most significant move: There weren't really any very significant football moves in the Houston Texans' first round of cuts. Those gone as the team reduces its roster from 90 (the Texans had 89 for a few weeks) to 75 were long shots to make the team. Non-football-wise, the Texans placed David Quessenberry on the non-football illness list as he continues his treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He's talked often about how being part of the team and the support he's received from the team make him feel stronger, like he has an "army" behind him. He'll remain part of the group as he fights for his life.
Receivers stand out: The Texans cut three receivers in this round, which still leaves them with some very difficult decisions this weekend. Texans coach Bill O'Brien singled out that group Tuesday as being a very talented one. They could keep five receivers, or six if a sixth player forces his way on the roster. Undrafted rookie Travis Labhart is in the conversation to be that sixth player. He could make a case for himself on Thursday night in the team's final preseason game.
Texans' cuts: WR Joe Adams, G Conor Boffeli, NT Austin Brown, OLB Paul Hazel, NT David Hunter, WR Alec Lemon, OLB Terrence Lloyd, G Sam Longo, WR Anthony McClung, CB Junior Mertile, RB William Powell and OLB Lawrence Sidbury. In addition, safety Lonnie Ballentine was placed on injured reserve.

Is it true that red cars are more expensive to insure?
January 5, 2017
If you own a red car, do you pay more for car insurance? 44% of Americans believe that this is true. However, the insurance industry is actually "color-blind" when it comes to providing you auto insurance. Whether your car is black, red, striped, or has large painted flames on the side, your insurance rate will remain the same for that particular make, model, and age of the vehicle. In fact, some insurance companies may not even ask you for your vehicle's color when you apply for a quote.
Other factors that determine your car insurance rates include your driving history and location, but do NOT include the color and exterior paint design on your vehicle.
Where did this myth come from? It's hard to say exactly how but it's believed to have started since red cars have historically been associated with sports cars which usually have higher accidents. Others believe it's because the arresting, bright colors of red cars cause them to be more noticeable than other colored cars. Because of this, police officers are more likely to notice a vermillion hotrod, for example, than a sedate white sedan, and may have a higher chance of getting ticketed.
So if you're thinking of buying that red convertible or that maroon minivan, don't worry; you're insurance rates won't have to suffer!

Students, mentors to cleanup South End park
STAMFORD — On Saturday, April 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Stamford Public Education Foundation (SPEF) is sponsoring a park cleanup and rebuild at Cedar Street Park, 11 Cedar St. between Ludlow and Henry Streets, in Stamford's South End.
This park rebuild is being done in cooperation with The University of Connecticut-Stamford, (UConn Stamford), Newfield Elementary School, Hart Magnet Elementary School and the City of Stamford Recreation Division.
Activities planned for Cedar Street Park include general cleaning, removing old plants, installing planters decorated by elementary school students, replacing a basketball net, painting asphalt games, and building a chalkboard wall. This community event is sponsored by SPEF, UConn Stamford, Costco of Norwalk, Karp's True Value of Stamford, The Home Depot of Norwalk, CT, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, Le Pain Quotidien - Bakery & Communal Table, Trader Joe's of Stamford, CT, and Jenna Marie's Deli.
SPEF partners with UConn Stamford to deliver a Service-Learning program to fifth grade students at Newfield Elementary and Hart Magnet Elementary Schools. The program engages 26 UConn students from two courses, "The Family School Partnership" and "Low-Income Families," both taught by Human Development Professor Dr. Monica Miller-Smith. The university students serve as mentors to more than 90 fifth grade students at Hart; earlier in the school year they mentored 87 fifth grade students at Newfield students. During weekly mentoring sessions, mentors and mentees discuss topics related to service-learning, such as civic engagement, community service, and leadership. Students from UConn, Hart, Newfield, along with parents/guardians, will be participating in the park rebuild.

Well my break from blogging was a little longer than I had anticipated, but the cold I have had has just wiped me out, and I have been absolutely exhausted. However I am on the mend now, and have a new card to share with you.
This is the card I have been doing in my workshops this month. It uses lots of new products from the Autumn/Winter mini catalogue.The card base is rich razzleberry, which I have teamed up with the new cottage wall dsp, the vintage vogue stamp set and the very vintage wheel. I love the very vintage wheel. It has a beautiful butterfly in it, which was a surprise when I used it the first time, as it is not shown in the catalogue.
Here is a close up of the friends panel.
I stamped the image twice and then cut out one of the "Fs" and mounted it over the other with dimensionals. A very simple card, but I like it.
I will have another card to show you in a couple of days (I promise!).
Keep on creating
xx Nicky

Julia Street – Life is Art
If you are in the Garden District on St. Charles Avenue and heading toward the French Quarter, once you pass the highway overpass and go past the WWII memorial, you'll come across a small side street: Julia Street, in the Central Business District.
If you like art galleries, you should make a right hand turn and walk towards the river. In the blocks between St. Charles and the river are about a dozen art galleries, some of which are extremely high end and very contemporary – easily on par with what you'd see in the Chelsea art gallery neighborhood of Manhattan. Other galleries have fantastic local art with a distinctly NoLa or Louisiana flare.
One of the galleries I really liked was the LeMieux Gallery (332 Julia Street). This gallery mostly shows NoLa, Louisiana or "gulf coast state" artists. One artist whose work I particularly enjoyed was Shirley Rabe Masinter. The textures she achieves in her paintings of local New Orleans buildings are really incredible. Not surprisingly, Ms. Masinter is in her 70's and has certainly achieved great mastery in her work.
Another gallery I fell in love with was the Soren Christensen (400 Julia Street). There I saw the sculptural figures of Evelyn Jordan. Works like "Inside the Box" blew me away. You can't really see some of the details in the pictures posted by the gallery, but according to the gallery manager Jordan is "known" for the intense work she does on hands and especially feet, and it shows well in these remarkable pieces.
I would also like to extole the virtues of the Arthur Roger Gallery (434 Julia Street). This gallery has some of the most incredible space on Julia Street. They have a huge exhibition space dedicated to the glassworks of Dale Chihuly, and some of the pieces are large ceiling hung installations. The vibe of this gallery is very contemporary, and on par with what you'd see in NYC for sure. The staff I met there is knowledgeable and friendly (in other words, NOT like NYC in that aspect.)
And although I didn't get a chance to make a right on Camp Street today, about a block off of Julia (on Camp) you can also find the Contemporary Art Center and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Since I had already spent several hours just perusing the galleries on Julia today, I'm saving the Contemporary Art Center and the Ogden for another day. A few people mentioned that Thursday evenings between 6-8pm are a good time to go to the "Ogden After Hours" where they apparently do live music events, or gallery talks or other events.
From a traveler's eye view perspective, if you keep walking down Julia Street, you will reach the Riverwalk shops at the intersection of Julia with Canal Street. I went inside out of curiosity, and if you are into high kitch, lots of t-shirts, shot glass and plastic mardi gras stuff, you'll be in heaven. For the rest of us, it's worth avoiding altogether. (The ONE nice thing I can say about Riverwalk is you have an elevated view of the Mississippi River.)
However, before you go up the escalator to get to Riverwalk, if you go towards the train tracks, you'll see a streetcar stop marked #8 Julia. If you take the Canal Streetcar heading back to the French Quarter, and you get out at the last stop, you will be within a few 100 feet of the French Quarter Flea Market. The French Quarter Flea is basically tourist fare, but it's a nice enough neighborhood to walk around and soak up the NoLa vibes.
So that's my take on Julia Street – one of the many, many artist havens in NoLa. I'll post more of my observations here as my journey continues.

New to McAuliffe? Then this glossary is for you!
This glossary will help you to navigate all of the "McAuliffe-isms". This document is a part of our Family Handbook which can be seen in full here.
Authentic Audience
An audience beyond the classroom teacher that helps scholars care about purpose and quality of their work.
Each scholar is assigned to a Crew before they begin their journey at McAuliffe. Scholars meet each day with their Crew leader (advisor) for check-ins, setting of goals (academic, personal, and social), building of portfolio, preparation for student led conferences etc. There is Academic Crew which is focused on the portfolio building, SLC prep, and goal-setting and tracking and Team-building Crew which is time for group development activities, discussions, etc.
Community Meeting
Adults and scholars work together to facilitate monthly community meetings at the MetroWest YMCA. (All students, faculty, and staff, walk to the YMCA once per month for this special event.) Community meeting facilitators engage the community in interactive activities that get scholars interacting with one another in a fun and engaging way. Community meetings are also a forum to recognize members of the School community by presenting HOWLs Awards after each of the three Trimester reporting periods and for scholars and adults to share public thank yous and apologies.
Culminating Events
Each Learning Expedition ends with a Culminating Event, at which scholars share their learning with families, the extended McAuliffe community and invited guests. All scholars are expected to attend.
"Doing things well"; In EL schools, teachers create craftsmanship targets to help scholars create high quality work. Scholars revise their work and persevere to make their best even better.
There are three opportunities for your child to participate in the McAuliffe Enrichment program that takes place after school according to a published schedule. Transportation home must be provided by parents/guardians or a carpool. Enrichment program information will be sent out to families during the weeks prior to the start of each session. Families must sign up for classes and clubs promptly as they do fill up.
Expeditionary Learning (EL)
EL partners with schools, districts, charter schools, and states to build teacher capacity in service of a more ambitious vision of scholar achievement: one that joins academic challenge and scholarship to critical skills like perseverance, critical thinking, and an ethic of contribution to prepare scholars for success in college, career and citizenship.
The EL model challenges scholars to think critically and take active roles in their classrooms and communities,
resulting in higher achievement and greater engagement in school. EL provides schools with professional development, coaching, and online tools to improve curriculum design, instruction, school culture, leadership, and assessment practices. The national network of EL schools and professional colleagues includes more than 150 schools, 4,000 teachers, and 45,000 scholars.
People skilled in a particular field of study. Teachers utilize experts to support authentic research, critique scholar's work, model, and provide guidance in expedition development. The EL approach encourages the regular use of experts in the classroom and in the field, not just as "presenters" but as active partners in enriching the quality of scholar's thinking and work.
Field research done by scholars. EL distinguishes fieldwork from "field trips." In fieldwork, scholars are active researchers and not passive observers of a prepared experience. For example, a field trip might involve elementary school scholars taking a guided tour at a restored colonial village. Fieldwork, on the other hand, might have those scholars "apprentice" themselves to a particular craftsman at the village, helping with the work, interviewing, and taking photos, becoming an "expert" in that craft. Fieldwork in EL schools often involves service learning.
Friday Newsletters
Each week a Friday Newsletter is emailed to families and posted on the website. You need to OPT in to receiving this weekly communication. This information communicates information about upcoming events as well as flyers and notices. It is important that you look at it over the weekend and have your child return filled out forms in a Labeled Envelope.
HOWLs stands for Habits of Work and Learning. We anchor our schoolwide norms in these habits: Perseverance, Inquiry, Responsibility, and Collaboration. HOWLs targets are taught alongside learning targets and are assessed separately from academic progress.
Lab takes place three times per week for 45 minutes. During Lab scholars receive targeted math, reading, and writing instruction based on their individual needs. For some scholars, Lab is an opportunity to extend learning and for others it is a time for scholars to receive additional support, particularly if they are struggling to meet a learning target.
Learning Expeditions
The major curriculum unit in EL schools. They are multi subject studies, usually lasting 6-12 weeks, led by a teacher or teaching team. Learning Expeditions are based on state standards and local curriculum maps and focus on what teachers determine to be essential content and skills. They use interesting case studies to make content come alive for scholars. They involve scholars in fieldwork (field research) and service learning and connect them with local experts.
Learning Targets
Goals or objectives for lessons written in concrete, scholar-friendly language. They are shared with scholars, posted in the classroom, and tracked carefully by scholars and teachers during the process of learning. Learning targets are most often written as "I can" statements. EX: "I can explain the lifecycle of a butterfly."
Parent Teacher Group (PTG)
PTG is McAuliffe's parent teacher group. The McAuliffe Parent Teacher Group (PTG) exists with a primary purpose to provide parents/guardians with specific ways to support the mission of the Christa McAuliffe Charter School and all scholars' learning and character development. Learn more on our PTG page.
Passage presentations are an EL Education core practice where scholars, using specific evidence and reflection, make the case for why they are ready to transition to high school. Passages are formal presentations that take place in front of a panel, comprised of an authentic audience.
At McAuliffe, students complete their Passages presentation at the end of 8th grade. Because Habits of Work and Learning are critical to students' success in school and career, HOWLS are used as the organizing principle for the presentation. Passages focus on growth: we know that a growth mindset is crucial to students' success. Therefore, students use their Passages presentation to prove the basic claim, "My growth in HOWLS over the course of my time at McAuliffe shows that I am ready to go on to high school." Students share their Passage Presentation before an audience that includes peers, at least one McAuliffe teacher who knows them well, and at least one adult who knows them less well or not at all.
A portfolio is a collection of work showing what a scholar has been thinking about, working on, and learning to do. It may contain written work, artwork, recordings of performances, photographs of three-dimensional constructions, and more. It can be used as a formative or summative assessment. A portfolio does not include all work; instead it is a selection made by the scholar with teacher help.
McAuliffe's online gradebook. The best way to be informed of your child's progress is by regularly visiting the Powerschool parent portal, mcauliffecharter.powerschool.com. Families and scholars will each have a unique username and a password One of our goals is to guide scholars to own their own learning so it is critical that they can log into Powerschool at anytime to see their progress in each class. PowerSchool is also accessible via a mobile app.
Progress Reports
You will receive three progress reports per year, one at the end of each trimester.
Projects and Products
Scholar products are the tangible results of the expedition's learning and one of the ways scholars "show what they know" in EL schools. Formats include things like: scientific reports, field guides, blueprints, business plans, anthologies of writing, models, or instructional posters. Most products in EL schools are created for audiences beyond the classroom. Products are intended to increase motivation by engaging scholars in real work with authentic purpose, and they require scholars to apply key academic skills while thinking creatively and critically. Major EL projects are generally worked on in school, not as an out-of-school assignment, though they may involve homework.
Service Learning
Active participation in organized experiences that meet authentic community needs. Service learning provides scholars with opportunities to use their acquired skills and knowledge in real-life situations, extending scholar learning into the community and instilling an ethic of stewardship. Service learning is not simply charitable work; the learning (linked to expedition content) is just as important as the service.
SLC's are Student Led Conferences and are held two times per year. These conferences are an opportunity for scholars to discuss their progress towards meeting academic and HOWLs learning targets with their families and crew leader.
Standards-Based Grading
McAuliffe is a standards-based grading school. This means that we measure scholars on their ability to meet specific standards set by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (starting in 2012, these standards are known as the Common Core). At McAuliffe, we communicate the standards through learning targets that are written in scholar-friendly language. Learning targets are goals for lessons, projects, units and trimesters.
S.T.A.R. Awards
Special Thanks and Recognition awards are given to scholars who have exceeded expectations in displaying their commitment to one or more of the design principles and core values. STAR awards are presented at School Meetings.
Student Led Conferences
Student Led Conferences (SLCs) are designed to replace regular parent conferences. They are meetings between a scholar and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) about the scholar's learning and growth. Scholars show their family her/his work (e.g. tests, writing samples, art work) - always accompanied by rubrics/scoring guides and sometimes accompanied by scholar reflections - and discuss what they have learned and where there is room for growth. Parents/guardians ask questions, make observations, and help scholars set goals for the next trimester or year.

Velocity Analysis in Mechanism
- Let a rigid link OA, of length r rotate about a fixed point O with a uniform angular velocity rad/s in a counter-clockwise direction OA turns through a small angle δθ in a small interval of time δt. Then, A will travel along the arc AA' as shown in figure.
∴ Velocity of A relative to O
∴ In the limits, when
Thus, velocity of A is ωr and is perpendicular to OA.
Velocity of Intermediate Point
- If represent the velocity of B with respect to O, then
i.e., b divides the velocity vector in the same ratio as B divides the link. The magnitude of the linear velocity of a point on the rotating body at a particular instant is proportional to its distance fromt the axis of rotation.
Velocity Images of Four Link Mechanism
- Figure shows a four link mechanism (quadric cycle mechanism) ABCD in which AD is fixed link and BC is the coupler. AB is the driver rotating at an angular speed of ω rad/s in the clockwise direction if it is a crank or moving at angular velocity ω at this instant if it is rocker.
Velocity Images of Slider-Crank Mechanism
- Consider a slider-crank mechanism in which OA is the crank moving with uniform angular velocity ω rad/s in the clockwise direction. At point B, a slider moves on the fixed guide G.
From the given configuration, the coupler AB has angular velocity in the counter-clockwise direction. The magnitude being .
Velocity of Rubbing
- Let us take two links of a turning pair, a pin is fixed to one of the links whereas a hole is provided in the other to fit the pin. When joined the surface of the hole of one link will rub on the surface of pin of the other link. The velocity of rubbing of the two surfaces will depend upon the angular velocity of a link relative to the other.
Pin at A
- The pin at A joins links AD and AB. AD being fixed, the velocity of rubbing will depend upon the angular velocity of AB only.
- Velocity of rubbing = raω
where, ra = radius of pin at A
Pin at B
ωba = ωab = ω (clockwise)
- rb = Radius of pin at B
Velocity of rubbing = rb(ωab + ωbc)
Pin at C
ωbc = ωcb (counter-clockwise)
ωdc = ωcd (clockwise)
rc = Radius of pin at C
Velocity of rubbing = rc(ωbc + ωdc)
Pin at D
where, rd = radius of pin at D
Velocity of rubbing = rdωcd
Instantaneous Centre of Velocity (I-centre)
- The instantaneous centre of velocity can be defined as a point which has no velocity with respect to the fixed link.
- Suppose there are two link 1 and link 2
- Link 1 may not be fixed. Rigid body 2 is shown to be in plane motion with respect to the link 1.
- In case of fixed link, (link 2) velocity of the point A and B are proportional to PA and PB respectively. So, instantaneously, the rigid body can be thought of as being momentarily in pure rotation about the point P. The velocity of any point C on the body at this instant is given by in a direction perpendicular to PC. This point P is called the instantaneously centre of velocity and its instantaneously velocity is zero.
- If both links 1 and 2 are in motion, we can define a relative instantaneous centre P12 to be a point on 2 having zero relative velocity with respect to a coincident point on 1. Consequently, the relative motion of 2 with respect to 1 be appears to be pure rotation about P12. So P21 and P12 are identical.
- Instantaneous centre is also called centro. So, two coincident points belonging to two bodies having relative motion with the properties.
- They have the same velocities.
- They form a point in one of the rigid bodies about which the other rotates and vice-versa. Which is perhaps true for only an instant.
Primary Centro One which can be easily located by a mere observation of the mechanism.
Secondary Centro Centros that cannot be easily located.
Instantaneous Centre of Acceleration
- It is defined as a point on a link having zero relative acceleration with respect to a coincident point on the other link and is different from the instantaneous centre of velocity.
Aronhold-Kennedy Theorem of Three Centre
- It state that if three bodies are in relative motion with respect to one another, the three relative instantaneous centers of velocity ar collinear.
P12 - Instantaneous centre of fixed ground 1 and body 2.
P13 - Instantaneous centre of fixed ground 1 and body 3.
P23 - Instantaneous centre of body 2 and body 3.
Number of Centros in a Mechanism
- For a mechanism of n links, the number of centros (Instantaneous centre) N is
Number of Lines of Centros
- The number of lines of centros L for a mechanism with n links is
Acceleration Analysis in Mechanism
- The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is known as acceleration and acts in the direction of the change in velocity. Velocity can changed by only changing its magnitude or its direction. Let a link OA, of length r, rotate in a circular path in the clockwise direction as shown in figure. It has an instantaneously angular velocity ω and an angular acceleration α in the same direction i.e., the angular velocity increases in the clockwise direction.
Tangential acceleration of A relative O is defined as
Centripetal or radial acceleration of A relative to O is defined as
Total acceleration (net acceleration)
There are three cases occurred in the net acceleration as given below
Case I When α = 0 ⇒ ω = constant
So, net acceleration
Case II When ω = 0 ⇒ A has linear motion as
Net acceleration
Case III: When α is negative or the link OA decelerates, tangential acceleration will be negative or its direction will be as shown in figure.
Corial's Acceleration Component
Consider a link AR rotates about a fixed point A on it. P is a point on a slider on the link.
Here, ω = Angular velocity of the link
α = Angular acceleration of the link
v = Linear velocity of the slider on the link
f =Linear acceleration of the slider on the link
r = Radial distance of point P on the slider.
Key Points
Direction of coriol's acceleration component (2ω.v) is perpendicular to AR Coriol's component is positive if
- The link AR rotate clockwise and the slider moves radially outward.
- The link rotate counter clockwise and the slider moves radially inwards. Acceleration of slider (f) is positive if
- Slider has a deceleration while moving in the inward direction.
- Slider has acceleration while moving in the outward direction.
- Acceleration of P | | to AR = acceleration of slider – centripetal acceleration
- Acceleration of P ⊥ to AR. = Coriol's acceleration + tangential acceleration
- Let Q be a point on the link AR immediately beneath the point P at the instant, then
- Acceleration of P = acceleration of P | | to AR + acceleration of P ⊥ to AR
= acceleration of P relative to Q + Acceleration of Q relative to A + Coriols acceleration component

(Reuters) - Copper miner Trevali Mining
The company said late in June that 19 workers at the mine tested positive during routine testing, after which the mine's operations were suspended and 298 workers on the site underwent further testing.
"A total of 82 workers have tested positive for COVID-19 using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests", the company said in a statement on Friday.
It added that while three workers are presently displaying mild symptoms, all other workers are currently asymptomatic.
"Workers who have tested positive will remain in safe quarantine for up to two weeks", the company said.
"If symptoms develop, the affected workers will be transported to medical facilities for treatment."

The Sheffield Wednesday striker was convicted last month for assaulting two men on separate occasions in nightclubs in Sheffield last year.
Madine, 23, shattered Sheffield Wednesday fan Daniel Beresford's cheekbone after punching him in the Paris Bar in the city centre.
He then attacked Reece Hall, a bricklayer who supports rivals Sheffield United, four weeks later in the Viper Room club.
The professional footballer was caged at Leeds Crown Court after being found guilty by a jury after a week-long trial.
Judge Rodney Jameson QC gave him six months for the ABH on Mr Beresford and 12 months for the GBH against Mr Hall.
Madine is now set to sacked by Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, who play in the division below the Premier League.
Alison Dorrel, defending him, said the defendant had wasted his privileged lifestyle as a footballer because of "drink, childish behaviour and a temper problem".
Judge Jameson said: "When sober there is no reason to suppose that you would misbehave but I have to sentence you for serious offences which reflect the other side of your character.
"The side which comes out when you are in drink, which causes unprovoked violence causing serious injuries to innocent members of the public."Madine has a previous conviction for knocking out a man in a Carlisle pub during his time playing for Carlisle United.
And the court heard prosecutors class him 'an arrogant, violent thug' when drunk.
'Goal Machine', as the Wednesday fans called him, was told that he would have to pay £1,500 in compensation to Mr Beresford and £4,200 court costs out of his £5,000-a-week earnings.
But as he was convicted last month the club did not pay the striker for October.
Therefore Judge Jameson took the footballer's family into consideration with fines but concluded: "Much of the £5,000 a week went on high living."
Sheffield Wednesday's official Twitter site tweeted: "Following the sentencing today at Leeds Crown Court, SWFC have no comment at this time and will issue a statement in due course."

Universities refuse to talk prac payments despite 27 year freeze
Practicum payments to supervising teachers have not been increased in over twenty years and the current rates fail to provide any acknowledgement of the work supervising teachers undertake to support practicum students – in addition to their existing workload.
Our union is calling upon universities to enter into immediate negotiations to establish a market comparable rate for practicum payments in Queensland schools.
What you need to know
- Practicum payments to supervising teachers have not increased in twenty years.
- The current daily rate is less than half of levels agreed to by universities interstate.
- Universities have received significant increases in funding for this purpose (currently $930 per annum).
- Universities have refused to meet with our union to negotiate improved rates.
Rate frozen for 27 years
The payments have been frozen at the same base rate of $12.45 per day for the last 27 years.
Despite this, universities responsible for payments refuse to meet with our union to negotiate long overdue increases to the payments.
Queensland supervising teachers are currently getting a daily rate that is less than half of levels agreed to by interstate universities.
As of this year, supervising teachers in NSW will be entitled to payment of $31.50 per day rising to $33.50 per day in 2020 and $34.00 per day in 2021.
Prac-payments in Queensland Catholic primary schools are marginally higher than the current Queensland rate but have still been frozen since 1996.
Universities fail to pass on funding
The payment levels to supervising teachers haven't increased; however, federal funding to universities specifically for the purpose of teacher practicum have increased.
Universities currently receive $930 per annum per student in recognition of the cost of teaching practicum – a rate that is indexed annually by approximately 2%.
Our union and the Queensland Teachers' Union (QTU) last year sought a meeting with Queensland universities to negotiate an enhancement to the current inadequate prac payment.
Replying through their peak body, the Australian Higher Education Industrial Association (AHEIA), the universities declined our invitation to meet and negotiate these payments.
IEU-QNT Secretary Terry Burke said the practicum teacher supervision arrangements in schools fundamentally rely on the good will of teaching staff.
"No member takes on the role of supervisor for the money itself," Mr Burke said.
"It is offensive and disrespectful from universities not only to refuse to increase the amounts to levels they can well afford but even more offensively to refuse to meet at all."
IEUA-QNT members taking action
Mr Burke said IEUA-QNT members were now meeting to consider the implications of the continued freeze on the members and their schools.
"As a union we will make another approach to the universities to commence negotiations," he said.
"However, if the universities continue to refuse to negotiate then members will have little choice but to question their continued involvement in supervision of the practicum."

A landmark study has given the most detailed picture yet of the genetics of bowel cancer – the UK's fourth most common cancer.
The study examined all the genes from more than 1,000 people with bowel cancer and is the largest of its type ever conducted.
A team led by scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, uncovered five new potential genes which, when mutated, appeared to cause bowel cancer in a very low proportion of cases.
Further research is needed to confirm these links as the mutations were very rare – each being linked to only a handful of cases in the 1,000-strong patient cohort.
The study, largely funded by Cancer Research UK, also concluded that the major genes that greatly increase the risk of bowel cancer have now almost certainly been found. The research is published in Nature Communications today (Wednesday).
Researchers found that added together, all the discovered variants in the known bowel cancer genes accounted for less than a third of familial cases of bowel cancer – those occurring in people whose close relatives had already developed it.
The rest of the familial cases must therefore be caused largely by minor DNA variations that in combination add up to increase risk, the study found, with environmental factors also contributing.
For an individual person, the risk of developing bowel cancer comes from a mix of inherited risk through their genes and environmental risk, which is caused by non-genetic factors such as lifestyle.
Around 12 per cent of cases occur in people with a family history of bowel cancer, with inherited mutations in known cancer-causing genes such as APC and MLH1 often playing a major role.
The researchers explored the genetics of bowel cancer further by sequencing all the DNA used to produce protein – the exome – from 1,000 patients who developed the disease at a relatively young age and had a strong family history.
These patients – with a strong inherited component to their cancer risk – were selected from a repository of more than 25,000 cases held at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR).
The ICR researchers concluded that beyond the five potential new genes identified there were unlikely to be any further major bowel cancer genes – pinning down the total number to around 12, excluding the five potential new ones.
Mutations in those genes accounted for 15-31 per cent of the 1,000 familial cases, meaning that much of the remaining risk must come from common variations in DNA, each with only a small individual impact on risk.
This suggests that these minor variations – around 30 of which have been discovered so far – are more important to inherited risk than previously thought.
Many more of these are yet to be discovered, meaning that more research is required in order to identify them.
The discovery of these variants could lead to essential new understandings of the biology of bowel cancer and potentially new ways to prevent it.
Study leader Professor Richard Houlston, Professor of Molecular and Population Genetics at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, said:
"Our study is the largest ever conducted of the genetics of bowel cancer, and sets out a detailed map of the disease that could lead us to new ways of treating or preventing it.
"The research closes one chapter in the study of bowel cancer, by concluding that all the major risk genes have now been found. But it opens another by underlining the importance of tracking down the many missing genetic variations which each have a very small effect alone, but together make the biggest impact on inherited risk.
"Each cancer gene that has been discovered, or common genetic variant that we will continue to uncover, provides us with new insights into the underlying biology of the disease, and increases our ability to assess people for their risk."
Professor Paul Workman, Chief Executive of The Institute of Cancer Research, London, said:
"This study represents an important contribution to our understanding of the genetics of bowel cancer. It provides a marker of the dramatic progress we have made so far in decoding the inherited risk of the disease, and gives us confidence that the most important risk genes have now been found."
Dr Emma Smith, Cancer Research UK's science information manager, said:
"Understanding the faulty genes that play a role in the development of bowel cancer in people who have a strong family history of the disease could shed light on the biology underpinning it, and lead to new ways to prevent and treat the disease in future."

Wearing: Top and Skirt c/o Three Of Something, Elamaya Floral Clutch and Daniel Wellington Watch c/o Daniel Wellington
Flashback to the time I sobbed for a whole afternoon because my mum made me wear this horrible red velvet dress to Westfield in Sydney (circa 1998). She said If I wore it all day I could buy light khaki cargo pants. I can't figure out two things a) If she was indeed blackmailing me, b) Why I was buying light khaki cargo pants.
From that day on I chose my own outfits in fear I would spend 345 years battling Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Conservative estimate.
I know mum would approve of this twosie by Three Of Something. On ya Meg.

Lincoln University will cut baseball and tennis as varsity sports beginning in July, citing a campus-wide study of the finances and long-term championship viability of all programs.
According to officials, the 29 students playing in the two sports will have immediate releases for transfer, and will honor athletic scholarships for the 2016-17 academic year.
Calling the decision "difficult," officials said in a release that the 10-month athletic review assessed facility needs, expectations for success, and the overall experience of student-athletes in the face of limited funding and increasing athletic costs.
The Blue Tigers Baseball team has a combined record of 6-137 since 2014, and the tennis team finished with a 2-36 record over the same period.
Lincoln's 12 remaining sports meets the mandatory number for NCAA Division II membership.

Family law in Illinois covers many subjects, mostly surrounding marriage and child care. Lawyers who are experienced in family law often help couples handle their assets during marriage or divorce and represent parents' interests during child custody disputes or arrangements.
Two of the types of family law that intersect with criminal law involve violence that can cause physical harm and mental distress. These are domestic violence and child abuse. Crimes of this nature often occur between people who know each other and live together, so specific means are necessary to prevent further problems.
Abusers, especially chronic abusers, punish victims when they control them through cohabitation and patterns of mental degradation. This usually happens in isolation, where other family members or friends cannot observe instances of abuse.
Protective orders are often helpful in breaking these patterns of abuse. Illinois courts and law enforcement agencies may prohibit people from contacting specific victims or approaching their homes and workplaces, which reduces the conditions in which a victim may be abused.
Legal requirements such as restraining orders may also keep people apart during difficult disputes such as child custody adjudications and hearings. This may also help people going through property disputes, especially those involving primary homes during a divorce.
Protective orders may be issued quickly in emergencies until a hearing can be held within weeks or months. The maximum length of an order in Illinois is two years, although these can be extended.
An attorney can help victims of abuse work with the courts and the police to establish a protective order. No one should have to go through abuse without someone looking out for his or her interests.

I would buy this product again.
I bought these for my kids to try hoping that they would like it. Well not only did they like it, we have added it to our snack/grocery list to repurchase. A great tasting apple sauce that is nutritious and love that it is made with real fruit and no preservatives!
My babies love this!
My babies love this apple sauce, this is the only kind I buy for them. It's convenient when you're on the go and healthy too. It's a great snack for kids of all ages.
The best.
The best and only apple sauce we eat with our breakfast sausages. Unsweetened is the only way to go. Motts has been a trusted brand in our family for years.
Best one so far
I love the mott's apple sauce especially this unsweetened one.
it tastes great but does not have any added sugars or flavors. It makes a perfect snack while on the go.
I would buy this product again and again
I love the unsweetened applesauce I eat it a lot its a quick and easy snack I even use it in recipes when I bake .I find it just the right size for carryin on trips etc ty for a really amazing product !
Keep in on hand
I like to keep these on hand for a quick healthy snack, my son loves it and i love that it isn't packed in sugar! I also use these for baking for making muffins or on the side when we serve ham. Perfect portion size too.
Not just for snacking
This is a staple item in my kitchen cupboards. The flavour and texture are perfect with just the natural sweetness of the apple and no extra added sugar. The individual portion cups are perfect to have on hand for a healthy unsweetened snacks for when the grandkids come for a visit or on the go and a great substitute for when baking healthy. But my favourite is to serve it with pork roast or pork chop, so yummy. A total must have at all times.
I would definitely recommend buying this product for the fam
I never used to buy the store bought applesauce because I always found it to sweet. I would make homemade, but it can be a bit of work for me now I am getting older. My son bought me the unsweetened Motts Applesauce and I loved it! I would say it is the closest in taste and texture to homemade.
Thank you Mott's for making a very good product. I would definitely recommend it and I know I will certainly be buying it again.
Kids love this and so do I!
Was tired of all of the high sugar snacks when I happened to see this in the store and bought it and the boys love it! I will even heat some in a bowl with cinnamon for a quick snack!

Review: God Made the Sun and God Made the Moon
"God Made the Sun" and "God Made the Moon" are adorable, well-illustrated die-cut stories for the little ones, quick and easy to read. Although not all the rhymes are all that creative or rhyme well, these are simple stories that begin and end with God's blessings. As you read through with your child, he or she will see a peer go through a day (or evening) of fun and adventure. You can help your child understand that even in these daily routines, God's light shines down. In fact, both cardboard books begin with the same little ditty: "God made the moon/sun to smile down on earth, and fill the dark with light (it shines to light our way). The moon/sun reminds us of the love God sends to us each night/day. The moon story features a little girl, while the sun story features a little boy. The moon story also includes a few more pages with specific spiritual themes - the little girl praying, a comment that God watches from above. Both books include cutouts on each page of a sun or moon that makes the books more interactive and fun.
*I received these books from Worthy Publishing. All opinions are my own.

Xilocastro Project: Highways Monitoring
The Xilocastro Highway in Greece has suffered a number of serious landslides which have greatly impacted traffic flow and constantly present a risk to users. After several costly reconstructions to the road, the asphalt was repaired, but again deformation was seen between where the new and old asphalt meet, as well as in the walls that run in parallel with the highway.
A monitoring system was required to assess the level of movement and if this was associated with the previous landslide or the current construction works ongoing. Understanding this potential movement would help with the ongoing remedial works. The system had to be easy to install, as well as accurate, discreet and reliable.
Landmark contacted Senceive to find a solution, due to their reputation for wireless remote condition monitoring for civil infrastructure across the world.
Senceive proposed monitoring the highway wall using their Nano+ triaxial tilt sensor. The node's triaxial capability and lack of wires allow the Nano+ to be positioned at any orientation.
The Nano+ was securely fixed to the wall using a two-part mounting plate and the strength of this fixing and the high durability of the IP rated enclosure make it ideal for busy construction sites and allow functionality in the harshest of environments.
The data from the wireless mesh network was transmitted to a solar powered 3G gateway, which was mounted to a nearby pylon. The gateway then uses the mobile network to transmit data to a secure cloud server, which can be viewed by registered users of Senceive's WebMonitor software.
Nano+ triaxial tilt nodes are the ideal choice for this highways project, as they can be installed with ease and efficiency. This reduces man-power, time and costs. Senceive were also able to offer training and comprehensive support throughout the project. The extremely reliable and robust system also eliminated the need for any further maintenance or visual checks. The system also allows the reporting rates to be adjusted remotely with no need for costly and potentially dangerous site visits.

The Cat-Gardening Chronicles (3)
The garden talks to all of once, even our tribe which sleeps through 18 hours or more every day! But even in dreams, the garden always has something useful and cheering to tell us. For us cats, the Spider Plant is a friend who kisses us daily!
Did you know that you can attract useful insects into your garden with a mixture made up of one part honey, one part brewers yeast and three parts water?
Did you know that around 500 BC the Greeks introduced the first laws to stop people from dumping garbage in the streets? Municipal dumping areas were organized in Athens 2 kilometres from the city walls! Unfortunately in medieval Europe this good practice vanished and garbage was again stashed in the streets, luring disease, death and infections. Pits were dug later, to fill up with garbage. Then rats arrived and added to the health problems.
Today litter is still killing. Thousands of sea mammals, birds, and other wildlife is being killed. So we must begin to take a litter bag with us if we are spending the day outdoors. Pick up litter even if it is not your own. Best of all kitchen waste can go in the garden and become fresh free soil!
The fact is that 15 mature trees make one tonne of paper. Recycling half the paper used in the world today would save 8 million hectares of forest!
Fall out of love with buying meat and vegetables prepackaged in plastic and displayed on Styrofoam trays!
Your garden however small or big, is a part of the environment that you have complete control over. Install solar garden lights. Fit sprinkler systems with automatic timers.
Get to know companion planting! Potatoes are attacked by a pest called the eelworm. It can be deterred by a secretion in the roots of the French marigold, so potato beds can benefit from a few of these plants grown around them.
Another trick is to plant ornamental flowers around vegetables! Foxgloves grown around the vegetable garden become the soldiers to keep pests away!
The Cat as a Healer
In Texas, a study of 100 men and women who had suffered heart attacks showed that patients having pets were more likely to recover. We are now being used in hospitals and homes to treat people with disorders like brain damage, drug addiction and alcoholism.
If you are reading this chronicle, don't forget to buy a catnip plant for your cat's garden!
