years. But hope cheers him on, and smooths his rugged pathway. Dark and deep as is the problem, he sternly grapples with it, and resolves never to give over till victory crowns his efforts. 5 Long and patiently did the astronomer watch and wait. Each eclipse is duly observed, and its attendant circumstances are recorded, when, at last, the darkness begins to give way, and a ray of light breaks in upon his mind. He finds that no eclipse of the sun ever occurs unless the new
10 moon is in the act of crossing the sun's track. Here is a grand discovery. He now holds the key whicn will unlock the dread mystery.
Reaching forward with piercing intellectual vigor, he at last finds a new moon which occurs precisely at the
15 computed time of her passage across the sun's track. Here he makes his stand, and announces to the startled inhabitants of the world that on the day of the occurrence of that new moon the sun shall expire in dark eclipse. Bold prediction! — mysterious prophet! — with what
20 scorn must the unthinking world have received this solemn declaration! How slowly do the moons roll away, and with what intense anxiety does the stern philosopher await the coming of that day which should crown him with victory, or dash him to the ground in ruin and dis
25 grace! Time to him moves on leaden wings; day after day, and at last hour after hour, roll heavily away. The last night is gone, — the moon has disappeared from his eagle gaze in her approach to the sun, and the dawn of the eventful day breaks in beauty on a slumbering world.
SO This daring man, stern in his faith, climbs alone to his rocky home, and greets the sun as he rises and mounts the heavens, scattering brightness and glory in his path. Beneath him is spread out the populous city, already teeming with life and activity. The busy morning hum rises on
35 the still air, and reaches the watching place of the solitary astronomer. The thousands below him, unconscious of his intense anxiety, buoyant with life, joyously pmsue then rounds of business, their cycles of amusement. The sun slowly climbs the heavens, round, and bright, and fullorbed. The lone tenant of the mountain-top almost begins 5 to waver in the sternness of his faith, as the morning hours roll away.
But the time of his triumph, long delayed, at length begins to dawn; a pale and sickly hue creeps over the face of nature. The sun has reached his highest point, but his
10 splendor is dimmed, his light is feeble. At last it comes! Blackness is eating away his round disc, — onward with slow but steady pace the dark veil moves, blacker than a thousand nights, — the gloom deepens, — the ghastly hue of death covers the universe, — the last ray is gone, and
15 horror reigns. A wail of terror fills the murky air, — the clangor of brazen trumpets resounds, — an agony of despair dashes the stricken millions to the ground, while that lone man, erect on his rocky summit, with arms outstretched to heaven, pours forth the grateful gushings of
20 his heart to God, who had crowned his efforts with triumphant victory.
Search the records of our race, and point me, if you can, to a scene more grand, more beautiful. It is to me the proudest victory that genius ever won. It was the con
25 quering of nature, of ignorance, of superstition, of terror, all at a single blow, and that blow struck by a single arm. And now do you demand the name of this wonderful man? Alas! what a lesson of the instability of earthly fame are we taught in this simple recital! He who had raised him
30 self immeasurably above his race, — who must have been regarded by his fellows as little less than a god, who had inscribed his fame on the very heavens, and written it in the sun, with a "pen of iron, and the point of a diamond," even this one had perished from the earth, — name, age,
85 country, are all swept into oblivion; but his proud achievement stands. The monument reared to his honor stands, and although the touch of time has effaced the lettering of his name, it is powerless, and cannot destroy the fruits of his victory.
CXXV. — CHARACTER OF COLUMBUS. Irving. The poetical temperament of Columbus is discernible throughout all his writings, and in all his actions. It spread a golden and glorious world around him, and tinged everything with its own gorgeous colors. It betrayed him 5 into visionary speculations, which subjected him to the sneers and cavillings of men of cooler and safer but more grovelling minds.
Such were the conjectures formed on the coast of Paria, about the form of the earth, and the situation of the ter- 10 restrial paradise; about the mines of Ophir, in Hispaniola, and of the Aurea Chersonesus, in Veragua; and such was the heroic scheme of the crusade for the recovery of the holy sepulchre. It mingled with his religion, and filled his mind with solemn and visionary meditations on mystic 15 passages of the scriptures, and the shadowy portents of the prophecies. It exalted his office in his eyes, and made him conceive himself an agent sent forth upon a sublime and awful mission, subject to impulses and supernatural visions from the Deity; such as the voice he imagined 20 spoke to him in comfort, amidst the troubles of Hispaniola, and in the silence of the night, on the disastrous coast of Veragua.
He was decidedly a visionary, but a visionary of an uncommon and successful kind. The manner in which his 25 ardent imagination and mercurial nature were controlled by a powerful judgment, and directed by an acute sagacity, is the most extraordinary feature in his character. Thus governed, his imagination, instead of wasting itself in idle soarings, lent wings to his judgment, and bore it away to conclusions at which common minds could never have arrived; nay, which they could not perceive when pointed out . To his intellectual vision it was given, to read in the 5 signs of the times, and in the reveries of past ages, the indications of an unknown world, as soothsayers were said to read predictions in the stars, and to foretell events from the visions of the night. "His soul," observes a Spanish writer, "was superior to the age in which he lived. For
10 him was reserved the great enterprise to plough a sea which had given rise to so many fables, and to decipher the mystery of his time."
With all the visionary fervor of his imagination, its fondest dreams fell short of the reality. He died in
15 ignorance of the real grandeur of his discovery. TJ.ttil his last breath, he entertained the idea that he Lad merely opened a new way to the old resorts of opulent commerce, and had discovered some of the wild regions of the East. He supposed Hispaniola to be the ancient Ophir,
20 which had been visited by the ships of Solomon, and that Cuba and Terra Firma were but remote parts of Asia.
What visions of glory would have broken upon his mind, could he have known that he had indeed discovered a new continent, equal to the whole of the old world in magni
fco tudc, and separated by two vast oceans from all the earth hitherto known by civilized man! and how would his magnanimous spirit have been consoled, amidst the chills of age, and the cares of penury, the neglect of a fickle publio, and the injustice of an ungrateful king, could he have an
30 ticipated the splendid empires which were to spread over the beautiful world he had discovered, and the nations and tongues and languages which were to fill its lands with his renown, and to revere and bless his name to the latest posterity I
CXXVL —APOSTROPHE TO THE OCEAN. Byron.
1 There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore,

South Africa gold mine fire: Eight bodies found
Rescue workers at a South African gold mine say they have recovered eight bodies after a fire and rock fall.
One other miner remains missing at the Doornkop mine west of Johannesburg, the government said.
Earlier, eight other miners were found unharmed in an underground refuge chamber and brought to the surface, mine owners Harmony Gold said.
The fire began on Tuesday evening about 1,700m (5,600ft) below ground. The cause of the blaze is not yet clear.
"The situation is deeply regrettable," Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu said in a statement.
"We must ensure that we do all we can to get to the bottom of what caused this incident in order to prevent similar occurrences in future."
Eric Gcilitshana of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said the bodies had been discovered on Wednesday evening.
"This is a very sad moment for us in the NUM. Our hearts go out to the families of the deceased," he was quoted as saying in The Star newspaper.
Mine officials said earlier that the rescuers had been struggling to access the affected area because of smoke and falling rocks.
Although the cause of the tragedy has not been established, the NUM has suggested that an earth tremor caused a rock fall which triggered the fire.
Harmony Gold has confirmed there was some seismic activity in the area.
The NUM has called for an urgent investigation into the incident.
Correspondents say it is the most serious accident in South Africa's mines since nine workers were killed in a rock fall at a platinum mine in July 2009.
Strike deadlock
South Africa has some of the world's deepest gold mines and safety is a major issue, not least because thousands of illegal miners also operate in the same areas, says the BBC's Andrew Harding in Johannesburg.
Mining is a vital part of the South African economy but the industry has been hit by a series of violent strikes in recent years.
Talks to end a two-week strike at the world's top three platinum producing mines collapsed on Wednesday.
AngloAmerican Platinum, Impala Platinum and Lonmin have been negotiating with the Association of Mine and Construction Workers Union (Amcu), a rival to the NUM.
The mineworkers are calling for an end to what they call the "apartheid wage structure" and want their pay to be doubled.
But mine bosses have said they cannot afford such steep increases.
South Africa holds about 80% of the world's known platinum reserves and is the fourth-biggest gold exporter.

Love the Shoot To Thrill team intro. I actually wish they would let it play longer. It's one of the few times I like piped in music during the game rather than the band playing.
I'm not a wrestling fan.
Never been into it.
But I Love the chair! It's the perfect way to put an exclamation point on a win!
It's pure genius! Something to give the players as a goal, great media exposure (it has already made national news,) and just a little humorous.
The chair exemplifies what I like most about CL. He is a gifted motivator. Who else would have come up with that? It's awesome!

Price Objection over Online AdsPosted on Thursday, October 14, 2010 at 12:22 PM
Are you having trouble getting decent rates for online advertising? If so, you are not alone. Here's an analysis of the problem -- and some tips on how to solve it!
By William Dunkerley
A lot of publishers are saying that they just can't get a good rate for online advertising. Advertisers want to pay less. At the same time, publishers are looking to make up for recessionary fall-off of print advertising. And getting more revenue online seems like an answer to many. But, how can you deal with the persistent price objections?
Let's analyze what's going on here.
I find that there are two factors involved. The first is the sales methodology used by the publishers. In many instances, it is just not up to the challenge of selling online advertising. The other factor is the online advertising itself. Unfortunately, many publishers are not offering advertisers good value with online ads. For a variety of reasons, online magazine ads in many venues are relatively ineffectual for the advertisers.
The Sales Methodology
The sales team of one publisher was telling her that they needed to cut the online ad rates. Why? The advertisers were telling them that this publication's rates were too high. Maybe they were too high compared to an online competitor, or perhaps they were just plain too high. The sales team sought to remedy this by acceding to the advertiser demands for lower rates.
At another publication in a completely different field, advertisers were telling the sales people that they simply didn't have the money to spend on ads. Recession had hit their businesses. And, if they weren't making money, they couldn't be spending money on online ads. The sales team at this publication wanted to start offering deep discounts in light of the economic circumstances.
Price. Price. Price. That's certainly a common objection these days. Are your sales people encountering it, too? If so, here are a few tips to consider:
1. Are your sales people unwittingly prompting that objection? There's no doubt that many advertisers are spending money cautiously -- and they're letting sales reps know that. But, after hearing the price objection a number of times, a salesperson may go into a sales call anticipating the objection. As a result, he introduces the subject of price early in the conversation. It's an attempt to head off the price objection and avoid rejection. Talking price before the prospect is convinced of benefits, however, is almost always a mistake. In fact, the more the salesperson talks about price, the more likely it will become a source of objection.
2. "Your rate is too high" and "I have no money" are often code words for "goodbye." In other words, the advertiser is trying to end the conversation. She hasn't been convinced that online advertising in your publication offers any concrete benefit. Price isn't the real objection. The problem here is that the advertiser hasn't been sold yet. So, responding with a justification of the rate or suggesting a discount can be just a waste of time. The code words for "goodbye" are often invoked when the salesperson has done an inadequate job of probing the prospect. The salesperson doesn't know what the advertiser's goals are. As a result, he can't tell the prospect how advertising in your magazine can achieve those goals. So what can be done to rescue this sales call? Re-probe the prospect. Pick up on something that seemed to be of interest, and get her talking about her marketing objectives. Present a few targeted feature/benefit statements. Then, go for a close. Don't revisit the price pseudo-objection. Just go for a close.
3. In the rare situation where the advertiser honestly believes that he can't spend money on ads because he's not making any money, there is opportunity for a different approach. Educate the advertiser. Successful advertising is not an activity that is loss-making. It is profits-producing. Failing to spend money on efficacious advertising will only perpetuate a company's weak financial position. Worse, it can even create a downward spiral. Effective advertising is a way out; it leads to new business. Find ways to drive home these points, and your prospect will see why it is important that he spend money to advertise in your publication.
The Online Advertising Itself
Many advertisers are refusing to accept publishers' online rates because the online advertising isn't paying off for them. You may be able to quote how many exposures they are getting or cite click-through statistics. But an advertiser can't take those numbers to the bank. What an advertiser is usually looking for is orders. In the case of image advertising, it is benchmarked survey results that demonstrate impact. When considered in these terms, server statistics don't really mean much. What's more, they are often inaccurate. Efficacy is what's important.
I know that some advertisers actively look for server statistics when deciding where to advertise. But sooner or later, things will come down to efficacy of the advertising. If the advertiser spends a lot of money on click-throughs and exposures that produce inadequate results, he may learn the folly of his ways. And if you sold yourself based on server stats, you might come up short. It would be better to have sold your online advertising based on efficacy.
But that raises the question: is advertising with you online efficacious? Will the advertiser get results in terms that really matter?
Too many times, the answer to that question is no. The online ads are bearing no fruit (or at least insufficient fruit). Why is that so? Here are a few reasons why some online advertising produces inadequate results:
1. The ads aren't big enough. It's a well established fact that, in advertising, effectiveness is proportionate to the size of the ad. That's why a full page in a print publication out-pulls a tiny fractional. A lot of online banner ads are the digital equivalents of tiny fractionals. They're not going to produce big results. Online advertising really got itself into a rut with the preponderance of banner ads. If you want your advertisers to see results from advertising with you online, sell them big ads.
2. Some ads have no fixed location. They are served dynamically as members of a sequence. Now you see it, now you don't -- the next ad has been served. What's wrong with that? It has to do with repeat exposure. Repeat exposure contributes to advertising effectiveness. When an ad has a fixed location, readers will re-experience the ad as they navigate back and forth in your publication. If an ad is not there all the time, it misses that reader-initiated re-exposure. And what if the reader remembers an ad and wants to revisit it? If it's still where she saw it before, she'll have a chance of finding it. If something else is in its place, that ad has missed another chance at repeat exposure. Give your advertisers the best shot at repeat exposure. Give their ads a fixed location.
3. The wrong people are looking at the ads. Advertisers want exposure to qualified, prospective customers. Sometimes in the rush to boost server statistics, a publisher will take steps to boost traffic, any traffic. And that can result in pairing advertisers with readers who have little interest in buying. Hitting a targeted audience is just as important online as it is in print. Reader acquisition generally costs more in print than online. That tends to make publishers rather judicious about acquiring a well-targeted audience. Lower-cost online audience promotion can lead to a less stringent approach. That in turn garners a less qualified audience. If you want to acquire and sustain the interest of advertisers, be sure that you are aggregating for them an audience of qualified buyers.
Earlier, STRAT carried a two-part series entitled "Why We're Not Seeing More Online Ad Revenue." It expands upon the ad-related issues I've been talking about in this article. Here you can see Part I and Part II.
Sales methodology, and the advertising itself. Those are the factors that are stimulating many of today's price objections with online advertising. Use the tips presented herein successfully, and you can see those price objections drop by the wayside.

There 5 stages of grief. Learn what to expect after a loss.
Grief is a somewhat commplicated and misunderstood emotion. Yet, grief is something that, unfortunately, we must all experience at some time or other. We will all inevitably experience loss. Whether it is a loss through death, divorce or some other loss, the stages of grieving are the same.
There are five stages of grief. If we get stuck in one stage or the other, the process of grieving is not complete, and cannot be complete. Thus there will be no healing. A person MUST go through the five stages to be well again, to heal. Not everyone goes through the stages at the same time. It is different for each person. You cannot force a person through the stages, they have to go at their own pace, and you may go one step forward then take two steps backward, but this is all part of the process, and individual to each person. But, as stressed, ALL five stages must be completed for healing to occur.
The five stages of grief are:
1-Denial-"this can't be happening to me", looking for the former spouse in familia places, or if it is death, setting the table for the person or acting as if they are still in living there. No crying. Not accepting or even acknowledging the loss.
2-Anger-"why me?", feelings of wanting to fight back or get even with spouse of divorce, for death, anger at the deceased, blaming them for leaving.
3-Bargaining-bargaining often takes place before the loss. Attempting to make deals with the spouse who is leaving, or attempting to make deals with God to stop or change the loss. Begging, wishing, praying for them to come back.
4-Depression-overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, frustration, bitterness, self pity, mourning loss of person as well as the hopes, dreams and plans for the future. Feeling lack of control, feeling numb. Perhaps feeling suicidal.
5-Acceptance-there is a difference between resignation and acceptance. You have to accept the loss, not just try to bear it quietly. Realization that it takes two to make or break a marriage. Realization that the person is gone (in death) that it is not their fault, they didn't leave you on purpose. (even in cases of suicide, often the deceased person, was not in their right frame of mind) Finding the good that can come out of the pain of loss, finding comfort and healing. Our goals turn toward personal growth. Stay with fond memories of person.
Get help. You will survive. You will heal, even if you cannot believe that now, just know that it is true. To feel pain after loss is normal. It proves that we are alive, human. But we can't stop living. We have to become stronger, while not shutting off our feelings for the hope of one day being healed and finding love and/or happiness again. Helping others through something we have experienced is a wonderful way to fascilitate our healing and bring good out of something tragic.

A father-of-three in the UK has put himself up for sale on an online auction website for 20,000 pounds, as a desperate measure after knowing that he will be unemployed within a month.
Andy Martin was given 30 days' notice that he was being made redundant, which led him to take the drastic action.
As well as starting a daily blog outlining his efforts in finding a new job, the 45-year-old came up with the idea to auction himself off.
Martin, currently a traffic planner for a waste management company, said: "I have been unemployed in the past. I knew I could either stay bitter and angry, which I was, about losing my job, or I could do something about it. It is a whole new world so I have had to quickly get up to speed."
"I have joined networks, I am using social networking, I even bought hits for my blog to point people to my CV. After all of that, I thought, 'why not, I'll put myself up for sale!" he added.
With a 'buy now' price of 20,000 pounds the internet site was quick to inform Martin, a former delivery manager, that he was breaching the rules by trying to sell himself, the Daily Mail reported.
He was, however, allowed to post in the 'goods wanted' section.
Martin, who this week celebrated his 45th birthday and 25th wedding anniversary to Debbie, an Asda delivery worker, is hoping his efforts will pay off, but also that his commitment to working will influence his 11-year-old son, Lewis.
Martin, of Stockton, Stockton-on-Tees, said: "It is hard for him. His older sisters aren't at home any more so he is seeing the impact of this."
"Our summer holiday to Scarborough is on hold and he has to watch as I spend every waking minute applying for jobs and looking online. It tugs on the heart strings a bit when he says, 'good luck with this one, dad'," the father said.
"At least it sets an example for him that jobs don't just come to you," he added.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — The WKU offense faces perhaps its biggest in-conference
challenge of the season Saturday evening in Huntington, West Virginia, with Marshall
boasting the nation's 22nd-ranked defense. The Thundering Herd allows only 328 yards
per game overall – 131 on the ground and 197 through the air.
Quarterback Mike White and the Hilltoppers will be ready to challenge that unit for
a 5:30 CT kickoff with a rejuvenated Lucky Jackson on the outside. At Vanderbilt,
the redshirt sophomore wideout tied a career high with seven receptions and had 135
yards receiving, which was the most since a career-high 144 vs. Eastern Kentucky in
Week 1.
"It came from a good week of prep. I want to say that was one of his best weeks of
practices that he had since Fall Camp," offensive coordinator Junior Adams said. "He
was in watching film, he came to meetings and took good notes and he was
Another part of the offense with fresh faces is the line, with freshman Cole Spencer
making his collegiate debut with the start at right tackle and redshirt freshman
Tyler Witt continuing his progression at right guard. Although Witt saw time at the
position in each of the first seven games of the season, he has started there in the
past two contests.
"It's really nice to see that all my hard work in the weight room and the extra
stuff on the side has all paid off," Witt said. "I'm pretty physical and hopefully
they see that on tape and on the field."
"We've seen the development as the season went on and we saw it last week in
practice," Adams said of the young men in the trenches. "[Then] they went out
against an SEC opponent and what really stood out to me is they battled and the way
they came off the ball. They do have some pop."
Even though WKU put up 355 yards through the air against the Commodores, the -6 net
rushing yards were a low for the program in its FBS Era. The Hilltoppers know a
one-sided attack will not prove to be effective in the final three games of the 2017
Conference USA season.
"A lot of us had a wake-up call watching that tape, because we're a lot better than
what we showed on tape this past weekend," Witt said. "And it showed today. We had a
really good day of practice and we just have to keep going."

About ESEO - the European Student Earth Orbiter
ESEO (European Student Earth Orbiter) is an ESA educational satellite project for university students - a part of the ESA Academy portfolio of hands-on space projects.
ESEO is an ESA micro-satellite project with an educational objective: for the participating university students to acquire hands-on experience of a real space project, in order to prepare a well-qualified technical workforce for the European space sector. This was achieved by offering the student the opportunity to develop the payload (scientific instruments or technology demonstration experiments), key satellite subsystems and the ground segment (ground stations and Mission Control) to the mission, under the coordination of ESA and SITAEL, the Industrial Prime Contractor, responsible for the satellite platform, system integration and testing, and the technical coordination of the student teams.
Ten Universities from eight ESA Member States (Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, UK) have participated in ESEO, with more than 600 university students involved in the project since its inception.

Why does social media appeal to us on such a deep psychological level? Why do we spend an average of over 12 hours on social media sites each week? Why do we trust companies more if they are involved in social media?
There's a lot to be said on the topic, and plenty of studies have been published on what social does to our brains. But above all, it's about personal connections. Social makes us feel more connected to our friends, family, and even strangers with similar interests. It gives us a sense of community, and collecting Likes, retweets, shares, and so on confirms our sense of personal identity and makes us feel like we belong.
It's no wonder, then, that social has become customers' preferred way to interact with organizations. Through social, customers feel like they're actually talking to another person, not just an automated recording. And today's customer definitely expects brands to meet them halfway. In fact, 42% of today's consumers expect a response within one hour, and customers who encounter positive social customer care experiences are nearly 3 times more likely to recommend a brand.
BBVA Compass, a banking franchise that operates 688 branches across the southern United States, truly gets the role that social plays in humanizing a brand, and they've made interacting with customers on social a priority.
Recently, Carolina Aramayo, Social Media Customer Care Manager at BBVA Compass, shared with us how they use social to foster personal connections with their customers and provide superb customer care. Here's a bit about what we learned; watch the video below for more.
Many organizations use completely separate tools to manage customer care and social media marketing, causing a disconnect between what happens with customers on social and what happens with them everywhere else, like on the phone, through chat support, or in the store. Aramayo explains that combining social media management, listening, and customer care within one tool is critical to their success, and it's something they haven't been able to do with other platforms. Having a record of past conversations with users allows them to offer more personalized experiences, which makes the customers feel heard — like they matter.
BBVA Compass applies a laser focus to engagement and response time. They use an Service Level Agreement (SLA) Dashboard in Sprinklr in order to track key metrics around social customer care, including how many messages came in, how many were replied to, and the average response time. Throught this dashboard the organization can see if their reply rates are improving over time and if they're hitting their objectives. Then, they use this data to optimize activities accordingly.
Learn more about how BBVA Compass personalizes their social customer care in the video below.
About the Author: Chloe Mason Gray is the Blog Content Manager at Sprinklr. Her writing on marketing, travel, and career development has been published by Mashable, Forbes, KISSmetrics, Entrepreneur, The Daily Muse, the Human Parts Medium collection, and other sites across the web.

Though some people would dismiss ping pong as nothing more than a social past time with little actual athleticism required, those who actually play the sport know better. Table tennis requires endurance, stamina, strength, balance, and fancy footwork. Whether you are playing just for fun or competing at a high level of play, ping pong is a great way to get a great workout that doesn't feel like a workout.
Objective Measures
So, objectively, is ping pong good exercise? Consider the evidence. In just an hour of playing recreationally, a 150 pound person can burn 272 calories. That's equivalent to half an hour of endurance swimming or running a 5k in 30 minutes. If you step up your aerobic table tennis exertion, you could burn even more calories. In addition, ping pong helps you develop and refine your dexterity, reaction times, balance, and even strength. Some nursing homes will prescribe ping pong exercise to help elderly patients keep up their overall physical reactions, lower cholesterol, and even reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. It even helps stave off some of the effects of dementia and Alzheimer's disease by keeping the brain engaged. Of course, ping pong exercise is good for the young and healthy as well. Regular aerobic table tennis exercise can lower the risk of obesity and weight-related diseases such as diabetes.
Further Training
If you're already in good shape, further training and exercise attuned to your table tennis game can actually improve your abilities at the table. Professional players regularly jump rope and run to increase their stamina, do push-ups and lift weights for better strength, and use rapid training drills to improve their footwork and returns. If you want to use ping pong as a way to get more fit, grab a partner and develop some skill drills. Use multiple balls to improve your reaction times as well as burn more calories in a shorter period of time. Finally, as with any form of exercise, don't forget to warm up, stretch, and cool down with every game. Table tennis can be an exciting game, and if you fail to exercise properly, you may hyper extend your joints or overwork your arm muscles. Take the time to treat your game like a real sport, and then enjoy all the great benefits of ping pong exercise.

Introduction: How to Replace a Sink Faucet
Kitchen and bathroom sinks often outlast their faucets. The daily wear and tear on a faucet is harsh. It is turned on and off several times every day, yet it has to hold back the high levels of municipal water pressure and never leak a drop. Routine daily cleaning wears the finish, and that faucet that was once shiny and new becomes an eyesore. Most people possess the skills necessary to replace a faucet.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Step One: Inspection
Before proceeding with replacing a faucet, it is necessary to inspect things. Clear out the area under the sink. Use a flashlight to look around. Look to see if the faucet is connected to metal or plastic pipes. Check for any leaks. Look for heavy corrosion on parts that must be loosened. Parts that are heavily corroded require extra force to break them free. This extra force applied with a wrench can break a solder joint or plastic fitting.
If things look normal, acquire a basin wrench. A basin wrench is a long tool that makes it easier to reach up to the fittings that hold a faucet to a sink. They are inexpensive and should be available at most places where faucets are sold. Additionally, an adjustable (Crescent) wrench may be needed.
(Taken with permission, the copyright of all pictures belong to the Express Rooter website.)
Step 2: Remove the Old Faucet
Use the shut off valves under the sink. If they are not present, it may be necessary to shut off the water supply at a valve in the basement, under the sink. In rare instances, it may be necessary to shut off the main water valve to the house. Check to be certain water is completely off at the faucet.
It may seem easier to get the new faucet first. However, many who are replacing a faucet for the first time find it easier to remove the old faucet first. This allows them to be able to bring the old faucet to the home supply store to get a replacement that is guaranteed to fit.
There should be two small pipes that descend from the faucet to the water pipes. They should be made of flexible plastic or a metal cloth covered tubing. There will be a nut on each end. The hot water pipe should be on the left and the cold on the right. If the connecting pipes are crossed, take the time to mark them H for hot and C for cold.
Using the basin wrench, loosen the nut for the cold water side and the hot water side at the faucet. If the connecting pipes look as if they need replaced, it is easier to just disconnect them at the shut off valve.
Once the connecting pipes have been disconnected, use the basin wrench to loosen the nuts up underneath the base of the sink that hold the faucet tight to the sink. Plastic nuts usually have tabs to remove them by hand. However, they are often too tight and need to be removed using the basin wrench. If there is a sprayer, it must be disconnected.
Step 3: Installing the New Faucet
Use a roll of plumber's putty about the thickness of a pencil all around the base of the new faucet. Plumber's putty seals the underneath of the faucet against water intrusion. Wipe away excess putty with your finger.
Metal to metal threads should be wrapped with Teflon tape. Instructions often suggest to not use Teflon tape when plastic threads are connected to metal threads. Heed the written instructions that come with parts. Both Teflon tape and plumber's putty are inexpensive and should be available where you bought the new faucet.
Put things back in reverse order. Put the faucet down into the holes in the sink. Apply the nuts that hold it in place. Tighten them just a little. Check alignment of the faucet and then tighten them snug. Do not over tighten anything. Teflon tape should be applied to metal threads before you begin installation. Reconnect the connecting pipes. Tighten them tightly by hand, then snugly with a wrench. There is no need to bear down when tightening.
This is best done using a partner. Turn the water back on slowly while checking for leaks. If there are no damaged parts or crossed threads, things should be fine. If a small drop of water appears at connections, tighten them just a little. Barring damaged parts, there should be no leaks. Enjoy your new faucet!

what is that labyrinth of pipes underneath that sink, and that copper bucket-like thing it's all attached to?
Great plumbing pics. I have never seen this kind of set up.
Why pictures or wierd-plumbing and no pictures showing To Replace a Sink Faucet?
Why did use pictures from that site?
Maybe it's a really bad attempt at a subtle spam for Express Rooter's plumbing services?
I'm just confused by the content of the plumbing pictures that look like they came from the old Windows "pipes" screensaver ...
Windows "pipes" screensaver
Oh yes, if we'd paid attention; rather like monkeys+type-writers" then the prefect plumbing would be in our homes now?

I'm not green, which is why I am still at work
Here's the dilemma.
If I were to have taken the bus, I'd be home now. (though perhaps after a more than hour ride)
If I opted to work from home in my pajamas eating ice cream, I'd be home now. (after no ride at all but perhaps after about 5 lbs had been added)
If I were extremely hardcore buff like my old boss Nils, I'd have biked to work in the freezing gray rain both ways.(after freezing the hindquarters off)
Instead, I drove to work. In a car with heated seats, singing along to bad techno and warming my flab. But the universe has ways of punishing those who do not take the hard road. And, carpool or no carpool, you can see how I've watched the traffic go at this handy traffic tool. Just dial it back to between 5-7 pm for today.
Normally this would not be so worrisome. I would just have invoked my workaholic tendencies as per usual, crank out a spec or two, listen to some tunes and get really really hyper on bad coffee.
But sadly, my brain supttered out at around 4pm. In the middle of a conversation with my boss about our Web site.
I AM a Microsoft veteran and have some brain backup systems ("I'm sorry, I will have to get back to you on that." is a good one, also " I promise to take care of that in the future" and "Sorry, not enough coffee") but something about the weather, the flu going round, the general lack of coffee - the brain conked.I've been pouring coffee on it to no avail and even ate a healthy fruit ( banana). I can't get it back tonight.
I've worked til 10pm some nights, but just not tonight.
I guess I will have to play an Xbox game while I wait here. Oh, the humanity!

A KINDLY council worker who fills lost wallets with his own cash has been given a surprise treat of his own - a date with the Queen.
Over the past five years, Oscar Brogden has spent é2,000 out of his é13,000 salary putting the smile back on people's faces.
But the tables were turned when the 58-year-old good samaritan was whisked off to Buckingham Palace for a royal reception last night.
"I thought it was a wind-up when I got the invitation," said Oscar. "It is brilliant. I am a royalist and really looking forward to it. Will I talk to her? If she's lucky!"
Oscar has tracked down the owners of hundreds of lost wallets and purses since the late 1990s.
Significant contribution
He always puts in é2 of his own money and, if the owner is a pensioner, ups that to a tenner.
He was invited to the reception as someone who had made a significant contribution to national life.
Modest Oscar, a former street cleaner who was transferred to the reception desk of a depot in Gorton after breaking a hip, said his colleagues deserved just as much recognition.
"I might be getting the acclaim, but I work with a bunch of blokes who all contribute," he said.
"If the cleaners didn't go out of their way to recover and bring in the wallets, I wouldn't be able to what I do. It's a smashing team."

There is no 'I' in your world
Star centre of the universe
Holding others in orbit around you
Transfixed and inclined towards your glow.
Rogue comet, me.
Ashy piece of space shrapnel
On my own course
And unable to resist your lure,
Bright sky angel
Crooked monkey men crouch down
Paint a simian mask
On your brilliant image
Adore you and worship you
As a god
A father
A familiar
Wishing themselves in you
Not I.
I spin through and out
Momentary celestial distraction
You do not see,
Rock-dead inside out
I could never impose my image
On your countenance
But would draw you slowly
Into me
Fill myself with your fire
Take everything from you
That is you
Snuff you out
Incinerate myself
And disperse that starry magic
A little for everyone who can see
Who can raise their ugly hulks
And grasp at it.

Email From Minnesota
Posted Thursday, February 5, 2009, at 8:52 AM
Margie's family is from Minnesota, and we often get the local weather report from our up north friends. We're about to have some great weather here, so just a reminder of what could be... Uff Da!
It's winter in Minnesota
And the gentle breezes blow,
70 miles per hour at 52 below!
Oh, how I love Minnesota
When the snow's up to your butt;
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose is frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful,
I guess I'll hang around.
I could never leave Minnesota,
Cause I'm frozen to the ground.

Arts in Education Programs
NEW!: Schools may collaborate with one or more of the following: arts organizations, artists, and county arts councils, to apply for the new Creativity Project Grant in Arts Education for out of school activities: after school, evenings, weekends, and summer. Rolling deadlines. Details here.
Cultivating Innovative Thinkers: Arts in Education
The arts foster young imaginations and encourage success in school and later in the workforce. Through the MSAC's Arts in Education (AiE) initiatives, high-quality arts experiences are an additional tool for student learning and creative growth. Here's how:
The Artist in Residence Program
The MSAC Artist in Residence (AiR) program provides grants to Maryland schools that cover half the cost of a teaching artist residency in a particular school. Maryland schools are invited to browse the MSAC's AiR Roster to select an MSAC Artist in Residence. The school then applies for a grant from the MSAC that covers half the cost of the residency. The artists on this roster specialize in harnessing the arts as tools for learning and are available to lead hands-on, intensive arts workshops in Maryland schools.
The Visiting Performer Program
Through the Visiting Performer Program, schools, and other educational institutions gain assistance and financial support that encourage quality arts performances and workshops for their students. Teachers or schools may browse the Visiting Performer Roster and contact an artist to book a performance or production for students. For each booking, the artist applies MSAC funding that reduces the amount owed by the school to the artist by up to one-third, making performances more affordable for schools. A school may obtain up to three different productions per school year through the Visiting Performers Program.
Poetry Out Loud
The words of great poets literally come to life in Poetry Out Loud (POL), the literary arts program created by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation. Through MSAC support, students across Maryland are enriched by this national arts education program encourages the mastery of great poetry through memorization, performance, and competition.
Arts Education Partnerships
In partnership with the Fine Arts Office of the Maryland State Department of Education, the MSAC supports professional development for teachers, arts educators, and artists through The Maryland Centers for Creative Classrooms (MCCC). The mission of the Fine Arts Office of the Maryland State Department of Education is to promote meaningful engagement in arts education for all Maryland students.
The arts education advocacy organization for Maryland is Arts Education in Maryland Schools Alliance (AEMS). AEMS' mission is to ensure that all Maryland public school students have equitable access to arts education so that they can learn and achieve in and through dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts.
All grantees are required to submit a Final Report communicating data required by the National Endowment for the Arts. This required data can be found here. For program specific Report information, please see the corresponding Guidelines.

To introduce guidelines for the conduct, reporting, and critical appraisal of meta-analyses evaluating diagnostic tests and to apply these guidelines to recently published meta-analyses of diagnostic tests.
Based on current concepts of how to assess diagnostic tests and conduct meta-analyses. They are applied to all meta-analyses evaluating diagnostic tests published in English-language journals from January 1990 through December 1991, identified through MEDLINE searching and by experts in the field.
Meta-analyses were included if at least two of three independent readers regarded their main purpose as the evaluation of diagnostic tests against a concurrent reference standard.
By three independent readers on the extent to which meta-analyses fulfilled each guideline, with consensus defined as agreement by at least two readers.
The guidelines are concerned with determining the objective of the meta-analysis, identifying the relevant literature and extracting the data, estimating diagnostic accuracy, and identifying the extent to which variability is explained by study design characteristics and characteristics of the patients and diagnostic test. In general, the guidelines were only partially fulfilled.
Meta-analysis is potentially important in the assessment of diagnostic tests. Those reading meta-analyses evaluating diagnostic tests should critically appraise them; those doing meta-analyses should apply recently developed methods. The conduct and reporting of primary studies on which meta-analyses are based require improvement.
