How would I say "How far back do they want me to go?" The context of the question is that I was filling out an application where they wanted my work history. I was attempting to ask the person helping me "How far back do they want me to go in my work history?". The best I could come up with was "Que tan lejos para atras quieren que voy con mi historia de trabajo". He understood what I meant but I am certain this was nothing close to correct.

What will become of us?
As clever, adolescent monkeys climbing the tree of universal knowledge, passing the baton, accelerating at an ever increasing rate, fighting for dominance, power and control over our world, over each other, in the bigger picture that spans time beyond scales we can hardly imagine, or even care to consider, what will happen as we strive to reach the top?
Will we even survive the climb?
I believe it's within us, but how will we choose?
What can be done to better aim our focus?
Will this be enough?
Nov 1 2011: Some of your assumptions are contradictory.
"climbing the tree of universal knowledge," that's one part of humanity, "fighting for dominance, power and control over our world, over each other", that's another part of humanity.
If knowledge increases, the preference for dominance and violent solutions decreases
Zdenek Smith
Nov 2 2011: I agree. I also think that with increased knowledge we tend to have more empathy with others and then volunteer or donate which then leads to a better world around us. It seems to me that donations are at all time high from governments, wealthy individuals as well as ordinary citizens.
- +2
Nov 5 2011: Although it is hard to not include politics/government in this discussion, it was not my intention to focus so much on it.
To step back from politics a bit...
Will we see a time where man creates and improves rather than consumes and destroys?
I am a person of average intelligence yet I can see the imbalance and unsustainability of our actions.
Because of this, I know it is within us to see, understand and excel, but will our greed and appetites consume and destroy us before we overcome this juvenile state?
Nov 6 2011: I think we have a spectrum of behaviours. I see growing number of people realizing that our actions are unsustainable? We have more people dedicated to preserving environment through recycling, eating and other habits.
Others work on new technologies that are more efficient and environmentally friendly. Community of people are looking at ways to produce food more naturally and live simpler lives.
We do still have many people that don't care much about anything but themselves. We have to educate them and our kids about consumerism and alternatives.
Did you have anything specific in mind? cheers
Jozef K
Nov 4 2011: The goal of life was , is and will be only one thing ENLIGHTENMENT, means life in accord with all the laws of nature, use of full 100 % brain potential, no mistaqes, eternal bliss in infinite silence and dinamism
- +1
Nov 5 2011: You are getting there.
But will man reach a point of enlightenment before destroying itself?
How do you see this happening?
Jozef K
Nov 6 2011: Evolution is step by step proces, and yes I see the thing coming cos I #m practising meditation and action and see these step by step evolution on my self. Yes ppl will reach the goal before destroying themselfs , even do some will destroy themselfs first and maybe next lifes reaching enlightenment. ! The future is bright , and SEEErs sad the Age of Enlightenment is coming and will last long several thousands of years . Best regards Gary

Nov 1 2011: I am not trying to be funny here, but I think Mother Nature is going to solve all those problems for us.
- +1
Greed has always been a driving force with humans along with an uncaring attitude for our planet, & in general, other living things. Getting us all to agree to work for a common good, is NOT something we show very little interest in.
Nov 5 2011: Yes, Gale understands the side of man I see.
However I'd like to better understand your premise about mother nature solving problems?
Nov 6 2011: Imagine a rubber band, now start stretching it till it reaches a point where it can't be stretched any further. It will either break or snap back violently. Mother Nature does the same thing only the time frame is usually much slower. Due to natural events & what humans have added to the mix, nature is now snapping back. What the out come will be is yet to be seen, but from what has been happening in the last few years, it doesn't bode well for living things.Nov 5 2011: I also would like to thank everyone for the responses.
This is the thought provoking discussion I was looking for.Nov 5 2011: I'd like to hear more from people on the topic how we might overcome our technological adolescence and make it to the next level of civilization.
Assuming we are approaching level/type I.Nov 5 2011: The top of this symbolic tree is Type III civilization.Nov 4 2011: I think being the most powerful nation in the world....is not the top for me. Power can drive one crazy, selfish and greedy. I mean (as a malaysian) there is so much corruption in the government its crazy! Not sure about most governemnts but im sure corruption does exist because everyone wants to be at the top, with money and power....If you think about it, there is not even a top when you put it in that terms because humans will keep wanting, desiring, craving...Enough is not enough to today's world and it gets worse as this generation are more impatient due to advantage of technology and how you can obtain information so quickly.
even though with the benefits of what it has for the coutnry of having all the power and being at the top, we become too independant, forget many things and not care about other countries...we forget equality....how each country has their strength and weaknesses and respect...we get arrogant and look down on countries who we dont think are strong (this is happening btw, with low economical countries)
Personally, I think the top is when you find that balance of peace between coutnries and with your country upkeeping well. True, I do not know where or how but that's the challenge of the top...its a hidden msytery and different for each country.Nov 3 2011: What is the top? For you...(just out of curiousity) because people could say the same thing "of striving to the top" with different meanings behind them...
Nov 3 2011: Being the most powerful nation in the world.
Nov 5 2011: No. I'm thinking on a much, much greater time scale.Nov 5 2011: See my reply above about type III civilization.Nov 2 2011: Why do you assume there is a top to that tree?
What arguments in favor of that idea do you have?
Nov 5 2011: Type III civilization is the top.Nov 1 2011: If Humans are the evolved form or apes, or monkeys - what will we evolve into? When did the apes evolve into humans? what was the trigger?
Nov 5 2011: I think man lacks patience.
Because of this, I believe man will engineer itself into other forms of existence.
This will happen on a relatively small time scale and will be very turbulent, potentially catastrophic.Nov 1 2011: America's view of climbing to the top has always been "get rid of anyone in your way by means of killing them if necessary !" It seams to be working.
Nov 5 2011: I don't believe America is entirely like this but I do get your point, and this is the side of man that has me posing the topic question.

I have a 5+ year old Hobart AC/DC. If I remember correctly, the manual says you may need to adjust the shunt screws for too much vibration and noise. I had the opposite problem. My crank was too hard to turn and I loosened each shunt adj. screw about a quarter turn. If your machine has the crank adjustment and it seems real easy to turn, you may need to tighten the shunt screws just a fraction.Miller Challenger 172

Action/Adventure, Drama, Suspense/Thriller
The sprawling slum that towers over Rio de Janeiro is one of the most dangerous places on Earth, and as the head of Rio's BOPE, Captain Nascimento has seen his share of intense situations. When a BOPE mission to stop a jail riot ends in violence, Nascimento finds his job on the line. The public that is fed up with the violence and gangs that plague Rio, embrace Nascimento as a hero. With elections around the corner, he's promoted to Sub-Secretary of Intelligence. In his powerful new post, Nascimento strengthens BOPE and brings the drug gangs that rule the slum to their knees- only to come to the sobering realization that by doing so, he's made things easier for the corrupt cops and dirty politicians who are truly running the game.

About Sibu Airport
A former military airfield, Sibu Airport was remodelled into a full-fledged commercial airport in 1962. Located 2.5km from Sibu town, it serves both the states of Sabah and Sarawak.
Its single runway (2,745m) serves Malaysia Airlines, Air Asia, and Firefly.
In August 2012, the new terminal, which can accommodate up to 1.8 million passengers annually, was opened to cater to the increasing number of business and leisure passengers to Sibu.

A balance of business and residential, the neighborhoods of Gramercy and Murray Hill don't have the tourist crowds of Times Square or Midtown West. For most visitors, the main draw is that it's a quiet, convenient place to stay, just outside the theaters, funky shops, and restaurants of the East Village (to the south) and the business-focused hub and high-end 5th Avenue shopping of Midtown East (to the north).
Historic, landmarked blocks of condos and co-ops mean that hotels here are peppered amid local hangouts and residences. Unlike the gargantuan towers in Times Square, most hotels here are smaller and fairly low-key. High-quality, small-scale hotels like the Affinia Dumont, the Kitano, the Hotel Giraffe, and Hotel Roger Williams, and the ultra-exclusive Gramercy Park Hotel offer attentive service in relaxed, mature settings. For a younger crowd, you can also opt for the branded swank of the W Union Square, which is closest to the nightlife in the East Village.
The quiet Gramercy and Murray Hill neighborhoods are convenient to the midtown business district. Not every hotel is equipped to handle the needs of 21st-century business travelers, and the hotels on this list have fast and reliable in-room wireless Internet connection, a comfortable and well-equipped business center, and a professional staff used to handling business-oriented requests.
New York is a loud city, and certain sections of it stay loud all night long. Getting a good night's sleep is never easy when it's interrupted by honking taxis and the shouts of drunken revelers. Anyone who needs peace and quiet when they head to bed should take a look at our list of the best quiet hotels in the sleepy, residential neighborhoods of Gramercy and Murray Hill.

Startling and surprising! Definitely an unexpected effect! Your deck of cards suddenly shoots into the air all by itself!
There are many ways to use this great prop, but here's one idea: Let your spectator choose a card from the deck, and even sign it if he wants. Place the card back into the deck, and place the deck into a top hat, a box, a paper bag- you choose what works for you. After a few seconds, the cards SHOOT out of the hat in a fast streaming FOUNTAIN! You reach into the stream and BAM! You grab a card right out of the stream. It's the spectator's card!
And it doesn't even have to be used as part of a trick. Imagine this comedy routine: Tell your audience that you need to clean up a bit before performing your next effect. Take a few of the items that are laying about on your table (a silk scarf, a few coins, a couple of sponge balls, etc.) and drop them into the hat to "put them away". Lastly, take your deck of cards, make a big deal about squaring up the cards into a neat deck, and place the cards into the hat. Turn your back on the hat as you look around to make sure that everything is nice and neat, and BRRRRPPPP! The cards come flying out of the hat all by themselves, making a messy pile on the stage!
The Automatic Card Fountain works on a rechargeable battery that is included, along with the battery charger!
Please be aware that the mechanics of any Card Fountain do make a bit of noise. If you want to do this effect as a total mystery, you may choose to perform it to music, which will cover the noise. Otherwise, it's a comedy effect, and the noise is just part of the routine!
This is a great trick for Halloween or ghost themed shows. You can pretend that a ghost is inside the hat, and is throwing the cards back out at you.
one Card Fountain timed mechanismrechargeable 9V battery110v battery chargerprinted instructionsYou supply the ordinary playing cards, and the hat or box to hide the Card Fountain in.If you want to pull the chosen card from the air, you will need to know how to force a card, and control that card.

Hi all,
Some of you may remember the excellent but short-lived Amiga computer. It had a unique feature, the ability to synchronize display with the screen refresh on CRT. This made it possible to have scrolling text reader such as View80, which was very convenient to read long text (books, ...), on screen, thanks to the ultra smooth scrolling with variable speed.
I have not been able to find such a smooth scrolling text reader on PC/Windows, even if todays machines are much more powerful. Do you know a software doing the same thing (I guess LCD don't work as CRT, but I hope it's still possible) ?

If you'd like to see some finished products or view my other tutorials, check out my etsy shop & blog , or follow me on twitter ! Also, your constructive feedback on this tutorial is greatly appreciated! Thanks for looking and message me with any questions!
Step 1: Materials
- embroidery hoop (only about $2 for a basic hoop, available at craft stores)
- mesh material (nylon, polyester, silk - something with tiny holes that can serve as a fine screen)
- Drawing Fluid (I use Speedball, available at most art stores)
- small paintbrush
- newspaper
- Screen Filler (I use Speedball, available at most art stores)
- plastic spoon
- screenprinting ink
- squeegie
- shirt or bag to print on
This looks like a great idea! I was wondering if it is possible to remove the mesh from the hoop, after the screen filler has been applied, but before printing the design? I'm hoping to do this activity with a number of students and we would need to share the hoops - would the image be damaged if it was switched between hoops over a couple of days before finishing printing?
Very easy to understand, this is awesome.Good work.
Since I spent 3 hours lettering and the screen filler just washed 1/4 of it away, I would like to know this answer as well.
Five Important Notes for printing with fabric inks:
- The screen frame is usually detached from the base and used alone. Usually two (2) people should work on the printing process – one holding the screen frame tightly against the fabric, and the other doing the printing.
- On articles like T-shirts, a piece of foamboard, cardboard or paper must be put inside each garment to act as a barrier.
- To improve the lubricity (slipperiness) of the ink, you may add the Transparent Base. To slow drying or to prevent screen clogging, add the Retarder Base (1-2 tbs. to 8 oz. of ink).
- Wash-up of screens and tools must be done immediately after use. If they are allowed to dry on your screen or tools, they are difficult or impossible to remove.
- After the fabric ink dries on the fabric, set a household iron at the highest dry heat (no steam) that will not scorch the fabric and with a cloth or paper between the iron and printed material, iron on each side for 3 – 5 minutes. This will make the ink withstand repeated washings.
thanks for sharing your ideas!
I've got a kit. I'm giving it a shot.
Plus I got to make myself some shirts with the kids' designs, which were very cute and funny! Thanks again for the instructable.
i have had results bleed or some areas not have ink even with a squeegie that is bigger than my printing area??
also i have a screen but there seems to be a lot of instructions that say i have to tape the edges?? can i skip that? it looks like you get around it.
can't wait for the reply, i have been put off trying again as my first to printing attempts have not worked (one invovling cleaning filler out, so i am going to read over your steps for that too)
also, since the screen is round, i didn't tape it. i do tape screens when i buy rectangular screens. if you have the $, i'd buy a screen from the store since they are stronger and tighter; if not, then this is a good cheap alternative.
Just one question as this will be my first attempt doing this myself, what kind of paint do you use? Does it have to say specifically "Screen Printing Ink", or will any kind of fabric type paint work? Basically I'm looking for what would be the most inexpensive paint but that would still wash and wear well. I see only one store listed in my city on Speedball's website, so I'm hoping I have more options than them LOL.
Another question, and I completely understand if you are not wanting to share, but I was wondering if you have a preference as to where you get good quality shirts and other things to print on, but at a good price? I've been on the search for a while but feel overwhelmed by the choices and not knowing who is really good with supplying these things.
The screen needs to have some important properties:
- It must have holes that are big enough to allow ink to pass through easily,
but small enough to allow the stencil to properly adhere.
- It needs to be rather stiff with only a small amount of give, so that it returns
to its original position instantly.
- It shouldn't be made of an overly-fibrous organic material (cotton, wool, etc),
as the fibers tend to soak up and hold in the ink,
and can degrade the quality of the print.
Silk or nylon ought to work, as those materials don't "shed" fibers.
The right screen material is key. The reason professional ones are called "silk screens" is because silk is the best material to use (it's fine, strong, doesn't shed, and keeps a good amount of elasticity, as well as re-use longevity). My advice is to try something out; start cheap, give it your best guess, and you'll quickly learn what makes a good fabric while not wasting money!
The mesh material I used is nylon from Jo-Ann fabrics. I looked for a material with tiny holes that looked like fine mesh. I'm not sure another t-shirt would work too well b/c the fabric may be woven too tight, and the cotton may absorb the ink instead of letting it pass through. You can also look for polyester or silk fabric with small holes. If you have an art store near you, stop in and check out the screen printing frames that they have, so you have an idea of what the mesh material looks like. Also, make sure the material isn't too stretchy (ie nylon stockings) b/c the material will move around during printing.
Congratz for the awesome tutorial.
love it ^^
A. had a hard time getting the drawing ink to wash out
B. was suposed to keep the liquid used to fill the screen under a light for several hours
Do you ever have issues with this?
Unfortunately you probably over exposed the screen or the image negative was not as opaque as you thought. Which would at best washing out the screen difficult at worst the screen its ruined and you either need to strip the emulsion and restart from the beginning or if really bad toss out the the screen (though keep the frame).
Usually using a soft tooth brush or scrub brush will help clear out those stubborn areas.
A. When applying the screen filler, how many times did you drag the squeegie across the screen? I try to do it as little as possible so that the screen filler doesn't start to fill in where the drawing fluid is, maybe 2-3 times across the design. You also may want to draw thicker lines with your drawing fluid, sometimes fine lines get filled in with the screen filler. Also, if you have trouble washing the drawing fluid out, I like to take a toothbrush and scrub the areas that aren't washing out (gently at first, then gradually applying more pressure as necessary). This always helps me..
B. I'm not sure what kind of screen filler you used. With Speedball screen filler, you don't have to expose to light...
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have more questions!
Thanks lots
You are the queen of this topic! Very helpful for making T-shirts for my meetup.com groups at an economical price. Thanks bunches.

Try and read better in the future. Nice attempt to dodge my question though.You ask "how this would have helped", realistically it wouldnt. They are adopting our standard for care.
Anyways, the substance is already there. We have the laws in place and we have shown they can work. What more do you want? We've lead the way and shown the world how it can help. Mission accomplished.
I find it hilarious that people are actually arguing against being apart of a standard of care(that we created) worldwide. The reason for this opposition? To fulfill a delusion of lack of leadership. The mental gymnastics have been fun to watch lately.

We are already a part of standard care worldwide when the world adopts OUR standard. Did you conveniently forget the treaty is modeled after our own ADA?
Again...style over substance. Thats why people fall for the BS pols spoonfeed you.
Allow me to break this down for my own amusement. My post:
Your post:They are adopting our standard for care.
Just to funny.We are already a part of standard care worldwide when the world adopts OUR standard.

A pair of casino operators have joined forces to fight a legal challenge to the results of Maryland's recent statewide vote on expanding gambling.
The Caesars Baltimore Acquisition Co. — the investment group behind the forthcoming Harrah's Baltimore — and MGM Resorts International, which wants to build a major casino at National Harbor, are asking a judge to throw out a lawsuit filed against the state by eight Prince George's residents earlier this month.
The complaint questions the number of votes the ballot measure, known as Question 7, needed to pass, alleging a discrepancy between the number cited in the Maryland Constitution and the number cited in the expanded-gambling bill that lawmakers passed this summer.
Caesars and MGM jointly moved last week to intervene in the lawsuit and have it dismissed, in part because a drawn-out legal challenge would damage their business interests.
The Baltimore company "requires certainty to determine whether gaming in Maryland includes table games so it can design its facilities accordingly," while MGM must make several difficult financial decisions, including whether to submit a multimillion-dollar licensing deposit, according to the companies' dismissal motion.
The motion also argues that the plaintiffs didn't file their complaint in a timely fashion, but rather waited until two days before the election, creating an unnecessary disruption of the electoral process.
The state is preparing its response to the complaint, according to the Attorney General's Office.
Michael Berman, an attorney for the two casino operators, declined to comment Monday.
Thomas Dernoga, attorney for the plaintiffs, said he was unconcerned by the efforts to intervene.
"We're confident in our arguments," he said.
About 1.29 million people, or 51.9 percent, voted in support of the ballot question, which allows Las Vegas-style table games and a Prince George's casino. About 1.19 million, or 48.1 percent, voted against it.
In the weeks before the election, MGM pumped more than $40 million into the campaign in support of the measure. Penn National Gaming, which owns Hollywood Casino in Charles Town, W.Va., a popular destination for Maryland gamblers, spent more than $42 million on a campaign urging voters to reject the measure.
Penn National has denied any involvement in the complaint, but a lawyer representing two county residents who sought to intervene as defendants earlier this month has said there is "no question" that the suit was motivated by the company.
No hearing had been scheduled as of Monday.

The one thing I noticed yesterday is how much more fluid his throwing motion has become since the 1st game against the jest.
His accuracy isn't Sanchez/Tebow terrible but could be improved. This IMO is where Keenan Allen and/or Eifert could greatly help the phins O & RT's progression.
They could line Tannehill up in the pistol to take advantage of his athleticism. However, its a recipe for disaster w/ mediocre line play and no 'electricity' on offense.

NASA Mars Exploration Program, http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/
NASA remains committed to creating additional Scout missions, such as the Phoenix lander, which would be selected from proposals submitted by members of the science community.
Such missions might involve airborne vehicles, such as airplanes or balloons, or small landers that could serve as investigation platforms. This approach could open up exciting new vistas by increasing the number of Martian sites visited. The next Scout mission called MAVEN is an orbiter that will provide information about Martian atmosphere, its climate history and potential habitability.

Does anyone else think this would be the perfect lego game? Reasons:
1. It comes in parts, which is what most lego games focus on (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, etc.)
2. Back to the Future has the right amount of comedy to be reinterpreted as legos (imagine the scene where Doc is jumping up and down in the first movie when Einstein time travels, but with legos)
3. A lego Delorean. 'Nuff said.
Anyone else agree?

Incentives have gone a long way at James Ryder Randall Elementary School, helping a struggling school post gains on state assessment tests while most other elementary and middle schools posted losses.
When Principal Sonia E. Beckford said took over the Clinton school about two years ago, its students posted their lowest fifth-grade math score — 49 percent — since 2003 on the Maryland School Assessment test, according to Maryland State Department of Education data. The MSA is an assessment test given to third- through eighth-graders each year, testing math, science and reading proficiency, and the test is the Prince George's County Public Schools performance benchmark.
Now the school is back on track, with gains in almost every scoring category the last two years, Beckford said.
"I'm interested in what you do," Beckford said. "Everybody can do. They just need you to believe in them that they can do it."
The school's gains come at a time when most county schools' scores have decreased, with overall county reading and math scores down in most categories, according to state education data.
"Changes to curriculum and state tests can make it difficult to determine exactly why test scores for the majority of grade levels has dropped," A. Duane Arbogast, chief academic officer, said in an email to The Gazette. "That is why it is important to look at data trends over a longer period of time. However, we still have much work to do to improve academic outcomes for our students and will continue to work with all stakeholders to ensure students have the skills they need to succeed after graduation."
Beckford said the secret to her success is encouraging each student to improve by five to 10 points each test and students are rewarded for hitting certain numbers. Some students participate in "game days" where they can play organized games or bring their Nintendo Wii to school.
These incentives helped the school post its best fifth-grade reading score since 2003, with more than 95 percent, about a 13 percent increase from last year, receiving a proficient or advanced score on the MSA, according to state education data.
Fifth-grade reading teacher, Theresa Dillard, has taught at the school for 15 years and she said this has been the best she has seen the students perform.
"The kids love it," Dillard said. "It is easy to teach them when they know they have these nice rewards."
Beckford said she plans to continue using incentives because it has been so successful.
"If they perform here, they will be successful later on," Beckford said. "We have three children who want to be president of the United States."

How Philbin aka Mr. Mackey reacts when other coaches make in game adjustments:
I would welcome him to the team but I just can't see Sparano wanting a player like that on this team.
I am sticking to this more bad then it is good.
Keep him the hell out of Miami...
A desperate Singletary would likely put in a claim regardless, but especially now if it's gonna preempt Pete Carroll.
I have to wonder how we would handle Moss if he acts up.. we couldn't even handle Porter. We kept freaking Cameron Wake on the bench just so we wouldn't upset Porter.

Interpretive Handbook
89890 :
Arsenic/Creatinine Ratio, Random, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Arsenic is perhaps the best known of the metal toxins, having gained notoriety from its extensive use by Renaissance nobility as an antisyphilitic agent and, paradoxically, as an antidote against acute arsenic poisoning. Even today, arsenic is still 1 of the more common toxicants found in insecticides, and leaching from bedrock to contaminate groundwater.
The toxicity of arsenic is due to 3 different mechanisms, 2 of them related to energy transfer. Arsenic covalently and avidly binds to dihydrolipoic acid, a necessary cofactor for pyruvate dehydrogenase. Absence of the cofactor inhibits the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A, the first step in gluconeogenesis. This results in loss of energy supply to anaerobic cells, the predominant mechanism of action of arsenic on neural cells that rely on anaerobic respiration for energy. Neuron cell destruction that occurs after long-term energy loss results in bilateral peripheral neuropathy.
Arsenic also competes with phosphate for binding to adenosine triphosphate during its synthesis by mitochondria via oxidative phosphorylation, causing formation of the lower energy adenosine diphosphate monoarsine. This results in loss of energy supply to aerobic cells. Cardiac cells are particularly sensitive to this form of energy loss; fatigue due to poor cardiac output is a common symptom of arsenic exposure.
Arsenic furthermore binds avidly with any hydrated sulfhydryl group on protein, distorting the 3-dimensional configuration of that protein, causing it to lose activity. Interaction of arsenic with epithelial cell protein at the sites of highest physiologic concentration, the small intestine and proximal tubule of the kidney, results in cellular degeneration. Epithelial cell erosion in the gastrointestinal tract and proximal tubule are characteristic of arsenic toxicity. Arsenic is also a know carcinogen, but the mechanism of this effect is not definitively known.
A wide range of signs and symptoms may be seen in acute arsenic poisoning including headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hypotension, fever, hemolysis, seizures, and mental status changes. Symptoms of chronic poisoning, also called arseniasis, are mostly insidious and nonspecific. The gastrointestinal tract, skin, and central nervous system are usually involved. Nausea, epigastric pain, colic abdominal pain, diarrhea, and paresthesias of the hands and feet can occur.
Arsenic exists in a number of different forms; organic forms are nontoxic, inorganic forms are toxic. See ASFRU / Arsenic Fractionation, Random, Urine for details about arsenic forms.
Because arsenic is excreted predominantly by glomerular filtration, analysis for arsenic in urine is the best screening test to detect arsenic exposure.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Preferred screening test for detection of arsenic exposure
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Normally, humans consume 5 to 25 mcg of arsenic each day as part of their normal diet; therefore, normal urine arsenic output is <35 mcg arsenic per gram creatinine (<35 mcg/g). When exposed to inorganic arsenic, the urine output may be >1,000 mcg/g and remain elevated for weeks. After a seafood meal (seafood contains a nontoxic, organic form of arsenic), on the other hand, the urine output of arsenic may be >200 mcg/g, after which it will decline to <35 mcg/g over a period of 1 to 2 days.
Exposure to inorganic arsenic, the toxic form of arsenic, causes prolonged excretion of arsenic in the urine for many days.
Urine excretion rates >1,000 mcg/g indicates significant exposure. The highest value observed at Mayo Clinic was 450,000 mcg/L in a patient with severe symptoms of gastrointestinal distress, shallow breathing with classic "garlic breath," intermittent seizure activity, cardiac arrhythmias, and later onset of peripheral neuropathy.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Consumption of seafood before collection of a urine specimen for arsenic testing is likely to result in a report of an elevated concentration of arsenic found in the urine, which can be clinically misleading.
High concentrations of gadolinium and iodine are known to interfere with most metals tests. If either gadolinium- or iodine-containing contrast media has been administered, a specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-35 mcg/g Creatinine
Reference values apply to all ages.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn insists the frustrations aired by Lewis Hamilton after the German GP should be seen as "healthy".
Hamilton was quite downbeat about his chances of claiming his first win for Mercedes in the wake of the race at the Nurburgring after he started on pole, but ended up finishing P5.
"It would be good to get a win but at the moment it really doesn't feel like it's going to happen," the former World Champion said.
"Luck is definitely not with me but who knows? At some stage it's got to come."
As for his hopes of winning the title, he added: "I'm not really thinking about the Championship now. There's really no point thinking about it - especially as he [Sebastian Vettel] is over 60 points ahead."
While some believe Hamilton's outspoken nature could have a negative impact on the morale at Brackley, team boss Brawn says his feedback is always constructive.
"Lewis wears his heart on his sleeve, but he was very constructive after the race," Brawn is quoted as saying by Autosport.
"They are healthy frustrations, not negative, and both drivers gave us a good insight into what is going on in the debrief."
Brawn also cautions that it is important not to forget just how far the team have improved in the past few months.
"We have to look at where we came from," he said.
"We are disappointed because in Germany we scored 12 points. In the second half of last year we would have given our right arm for 12 points.
"We are still second in the Championship and we have a lot of things we can do."

Germany Unveils World Class Sustainable ECO CITY
Today Germany's historic Hamburg-Harburg Harbor announced the development of a sustainable ECO CITY that combines industry, entertainment and pedestrian life into one super green package. Designed by international firm Tec Architecture and the global engineering company ARUP, ECO CITY is one of the only projects in the world that is seeking to achieve the highest level of environmental certification from all three major green building rating systems (LEED, BREEAM and DGNB). The project is an exceptional example of how to integrate efficient technology and building methods while fostering social interaction and community rebirth.
Through their use of environmentally-friendly materials, passive design techniques, and efficient facades the masterminds behind this project were able to reduce the community's energy consumption by 30%. Starting with the rehabilitation of existing structures and re-purposing of used materials, the development will go through three phases of construction and ultimately stand 10 buildings strong. ECO CITY will use wind energy to generate 10% of the complex's power (more than any other high-rise in the world), as well as solar water heating systems and solar-powered lighting technology. Most of the visible roofs will be covered in greenery to slow storm water runoff and significantly reduce the heat island effect of the development itself.
In addition to the project's environmental advances, ECO CITY was created in keeping with the designer's progressive philosophy, which imbues every project with a socially and economically sustainable elements. The integration of these three ideas is vital to the impact these structures will have on the community inhabits them.
Tec Principal Sebastian Knorr explains: "ECO CITY represents a synergistic approach to urban development. By working in close cooperation with all the stakeholders and taking into consideration the immediate environmental context of the project, we've created a different type of sustainable, creative-industrial complex. We hope that iconic ECO CITY project becomes a model for sustainable urban development."
Hamburg-Harburg Harbor has a long-standing history of German entrepreneurship and ingenuity, and the community foresees ECO CITY to be a major contributor in its efforts towards revitalization.

Aren't those Vertical Axis Wind Turbines in all of the wrong places? Don't they need need to be as high as possible, in order to get into the strongest available winds?
August 19, 2009 at 4:06 am
An energy reduction of 30% is nice, but for being an fruntrunning "worldclass eco city" there's more needed. Cradle-to-cradle concepts for architecture count with 100%; that should be the future, and is already possible to realize. I also don't see why the architecture supports social interaction and "community rebirth". Glass towers tend to do the opposite and create anonymity. I don't see any elements in the images that would support social interaction. We can do much better!!!

What is it?
This Instructable will give you all the files and information you need to make your own Arduino Compatible in small surface mount package.
It requires a board manufactured to about 9mil precision. I recommend having the board manufactured at BatchPCB.com, Sunstone.com or your favorite board house.
We will be using a hot plate reflow method. It's pretty easy and the components in this project tolerate the heat pretty well. I have not used a solder mask. Surface tension is your friend, but I did get some speckles on the boards and had to fix up one bridge. So feel free to make one if you know how. Solder masks won't be covered here. Note: The fine commentators over at Hack A Day noted that you can actually do this project with a regular soldering iron using a method called "Tack and Drag." So, if you don't want to get a hot plate and solder paste, you have choices. That's the magic of DIY.
Is this Instructable for you?
If you like Arduino and think you might like to learn how to do surface mount soldering, this is a great project to start with. If you don't know about Arduino, you should get a development board and try it out. This isn't a great beginner's Arduino Compatible. It needs an external voltage regulator and it's small form factor isn't as friendly as the full sized boards. If you ever built a breadboard Arduino you will feel right at home here.
Can I modify this Instructable to do something custom?
You could make an Arduino with an on board compass, or on board robot controls. If you know how to make something work with Atmega328 you can move it on board with these files as a jumping off place.
What good is an Arduino anyway?
Just search Instructables for "Arduino". This clone is really good for adding cores to existing projects or embedding in projects where space is at a premium.
What should I already know?
You should know your way around the Arduino IDE well enough to "burn the blink program" and have some practice wiring up an Arduino with simple circuits. It helps if you can already solder some. If you know how to make PCB's or have ever build a "boarduino" you will be fine.
You will need the ability to open a command prompt in windows (or Linux), change directories and run programs as directed. The directions assume you are running Windows. If you run Linux I have faith you will figure it out.
Is this physically demanding at all?
You will need decent eye sight, a fair amount of hand eye co-ordination and good fine motor control. The griddle is also hot, so parts of this are sweaty work despite being physically easy
Open source goodies
The board is open source with a Creative Commons non-commercial license. You can get the eagle files from GitHub if you want to modify the board or use it as a jumping off point for your own clone.
This looks hard but I want one, can I just buy one?
Yep, for sale from Rugged Circuits. Follow @dustin1970
Very intessing work Thanks :)
but the link Rugged circuit is dead link
which is the TIMER_PWM_PIN? Is it D13?
Do you have a link to an article or tutorial that you like with instructions on how to burn a bootloader using an FTDI board?
You might try this method: http://www.instructables.com/id/Programming-Arduino-Bootloader-without-External-Pr/
Just borrowing a working Arduino from someone might be the easiest way.
Good luck!
"The ExtraCore and Arduino Pro-Mini don't have on board USB. Therefore you need a way to program them. The easiest way to is to buy an FTDI chip or cable. http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9716 is the one I use."
I've tried FTDI bitbanging, Arduino as ISP and a couple of random guesses so far, but nothing has worked.
I will try the method you outline in this step sometime, I was just hoping for a more straightforward way - I've burned bootloaders and sketches onto the DIP ATMegas and ATTiny85s before with no problems, but this method is completely new to me :)
avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
I bought the following chip, which I thought was the same as the Arduino main board (in a different package): http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/ATMEGA328P-AU/ATMEGA328P-AU-ND/1832260
I have a hunch I'll need to modify my boards file in some way, but not sure yet.
The directions above mention 0x1e9514 being ok to use -f with, but I can see how it might be confusing.
Where did you get your solder paste? My local hardware store has some cheap solder paste, but I thought it was for plumbing, NOT surface-mount reflow :P
You can clean it up with some solder wick most likely. I solder these chips by hand all the time and it's actually pretty easy. That resonator on the other hand, that thing is tricky to hand solder.
I had to fix some solder bridges by over-applying solder to the ATmega328 pins in order for the wick to work. This is why I assumed I had fried my chip from heat - the chip got too hot to touch a couple of times :P I'm curious if maybe it's possible to a) burn out the resonator from heat or b) burn out the fuses of the ATmega328 chip to cause the invalid device signature error. Any thoughts there?
Just so you know, I attempted a second board yesterday and soldered it up much better - and it worked perfectly first try. Didn't even have to use avrdude at all! I will send you an e-mail and a pull request on Github soon with an Eagle library and other goodies :)
only one thing i would change use bigger components like 0805 (which can be soldered easy by hand with a soldering iron) and add a voltage regulator and maybe an ISP header
The page for DorkbotPDX says " No blind/buried vias.".
I'll admit I don't know what I am talking about, so I'm genuinely asking for confirmation. I've only etched a few single sided boards, and was looking for a cool small board to send to DorkBotPDX, and quantity 3 for $5 would be a super deal indeed!
RuggedCircuits has a good price, good looking product, and I follow the feed on Facebook. If I need to buy a third Arduino (or permanently install one somewhere) I'd buy one.
The only reason for me to want to DorkBotPDX an ExtraCore is simply to get some experience ordering PCBs from them, and the SMT assembly. This looks hand-solderable, but I'm going to build a reflow setup soon.
The crystal is pretty hard to hand solder. Otherwise it's not too difficult. I've removed and repaired crystals with my hand iron, so it's doable if you have good coordination.
any thoughts on making the board using bigger components ?
connect d11-13, d10->RST, GND, 5v -> VCC as explained in the instructable.
It worked first time. No need for avrdude. I just tested the blink sketch on my soldered Extracore and it's happily blinking away.
In the last command Avrdude should spend some time reading the program back out of the chip. Is that successful?
Are you using an FTDI chip or cable? Hook it up and check for +5v on both of the VCC pins.
Try putting your chip in a breadboard and powering it with +5v and briefly ground the reset pin. The LED should flash as the chip boots up.
You can also try the stock Arduino bootloader. The Ardunio IDE should be able to flash the chip since it has a 0x1e950f signature.
Failing that, can you describe where you got your board and how you made it? Maybe post some photos of your connections?
Attached is an image of the soldered board. I followed the instructable for soldering and connecting the board to my Nano to load the bootloader. I soldered headers for only the minimum needed to program the board.
I do have an FTDI TTL-232R-3v3 that I've used to program other Arduinos, mostly pro minis. I attached it to the Ruggedcircuits one and loaded a basic sketch without issue. Is there a way to program the bootloader using FTDI cable and not use the Nano? I don't think so but I thought I would ask.
I can hook back up the Nano to the Extracore and shoot that picture if needed but the programming output might be more help. I couldn't get a good picture with all the connections between the EC and the Nano.
Is there a forum or support email that I'm missing? Let me know if this is the best place to post questions.
This is a great place for questions.
You could hack the fuses to run the chip at 8mhz and then 3.3v should work, but that's untested and unsupported. I have bricked chips messing up fuses.
like it alot!
I do feel it needs to come 'with' a vRegulator though.. (on board)
also bring elongating and bring all pins to edge is nice touch and helps end users for sure. (IMHO)
lacking a good one-size fits all, I left it off for the Maker to decide.

I moved to Ubuntu but my friends are still using Windows. I used to talk to them using ooVoo and MSN, both with my webcam, but now I can't. I want to talk to them, but Ubuntu doesn't have ooVoo nor MSN. Is there a social page or application to videochat with my Windows friends?

Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free.
What about "aMSN" or "emesene", both in the Ubuntu Software Center?
emesene is a really good app for using msn on Ubuntu.
You can direcctly download it from the software center by clicking on the button below-
