King Den's sandal label
From Abydos, Egypt, Early Dynastic period, mid-1st Dynasty, around 2985 BC
Most ivory plaques dating to the First Dynasty were made as labels. The pair of sandals incised on the back of this one indicates that it was a label for sandals, which were extremely prestigious items.
Labels such as these were usually decorated with representations of important events and this example shows Den, the fifth king of the First Dynasty, about to bring his mace down on the head of his vanquished enemy.
The name of the king is written in the rectangular frame in front of his face, with the figure of a falcon, a symbol of royalty, above. The hieroglyphs behind the king give the name of one of his high officials, Inka.
This label is one of the few sources for information about activity inside or outside Egypt in the Early Dynastic period.
The hieroglyphs on the right-hand side of the label read 'first occasion of smiting the East'. That the enemy is an Easterner is indicated by his long locks and pointed beard. The gravel-spotted desert which serves as a ground-line rises to a hill on the right, suggestive of Egyptian depictions of foreign lands.
Such illustrations are a standard way of depicting kings and do not necessarily mean that any such campaign ever took place. Kings are shown, over a period of 2,000 years, smiting Libyan chiefs - some with the same name! However, all standard motifs must have a prototype, and, being one of the earliest known, this example might refer to a real historical event.
Ancient Egypt
Towards the end of the fourth millennium BC independent city-states unified to begin of over 3,000 years of pharaonic civilisation in the Nile Valley.
Early kings of Egypt
Most of the evidence for the early kings of Egypt comes from the royal cemeteries at Abydos and Saqqara.
Language and writing in Ancient Egypt
Although its a dead language, Egyptian is preserved in texts written over a period of more than four thousand years.

'Mad Max: Fury Road' ala go karts and paintball guns (VIDEO)
Sure, paintball guns and go karts aren't typically synonymous with the "Mad Max" films, but it's pulled off perfectly in this little four-minute video.
Sure, paintball guns and go karts aren't typically synonymous with the "Mad Max" films, but it's pulled off perfectly in this little four-minute video.
Is there a category of toy any more controversial than toy guns? As the nation tunes in to the contentious conversation about guns, many parents are questioning the role of guns in their children's play. Is an early interest in guns part of normal childhood development, or a sign of something darker?
Combat City in Orlando gives one the ability to shoot Simunition rounds through their own firearms. The result is a training experience unlike anything one will find at a conventional gun range.
Project Sentry Gun is an open-source project that has developed software and plans for paintballers to build their own computer-controlled automatic tracking and targeting paintball-shooting sentry guns. You can build one at home for way less than you think.
Church members in Midland, TX found themselves being evacuated by the town's SWAT team Sunday evening after one youth group member brought his paintball gun to show his friends.
Whether you think paintball is a good way to train, stay in shape, and hone your skills, or just a nice game to pass the time, it's hard to like guns without also liking paintball. Kingman, an upper-echelon paintball gun maker, has introduced a fun-looking model for 2012, the MRX.
The Army Rangers started up their Warrior Adventure Quest back in 2008. It's an extreme-sports filled outlet for returning soldiers to, uh, safely seek out adrenaline-pumping activities, like paintball, for example. So far, it's been a great success and they have plans on expanding it.
Air guns. Pffft. Those are for kids. Big kids, that is. Today air guns of the PCP, CO2 and Spring-Piston variety are reaching thwacking distances of 100 yards at over 1000 fps, are readily available for cheap prices and, hey, you won't freak out your neighbors shooting in your house.

A lovely country house with a fantastic view and pool. The appartement was convenient, all furnished. If you look for a very quiet and excentered place, this is a good choice.
Great place, quiet, nice and we also got good advices on were to eat, markets etc nearby.
De reservering en de aankomst verliepen allemaal heel soepel. Het appartement en het zwembad, en ook de omgeving voldeden precies aan de verwachting. George en zijn vrouw ontvingen ons heel hartelijk en hadden veel tips over de omgeving. De feesten in de verschillende dorpjes in de buurt. Leuke restaurantjes in o.a. Perugia. Met de auto was het heerlijk touren in de omgeving. Kortom we hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad op deze plek, en door de warmte was het zwembad (15x5m) nog fijner dan we al dachten. Een plek die we echt aanraden en waar we zelf ook naar terug willen.
We would definitely recommend this apartment! George and Edith are very friendly people. The studio apartment has everything you need. The kitchen and bathroom are connected to the studio, which is great. The swimming pool is big and very nice. And the surrounding is wonderful!
We absolutely LOVED our stay with George and Edith in their beautiful farmhouse. They were very helpful with communications and directions in advance, incredibly kind and welcoming and the location is stunning. Beautiful views over the tuscan countryside, a wonderful outdoor pool, lovely cool room to sleep in, and lots of peace and relaxation. We'd highly recommend and would love to come back.
The hosts are excellent. A well furnished and well kept place made better by warm hospitality and lots of helpful information on the region.
Nos hôtes étaient très accueillants : ils nous avez préparé un apéritif d'accueil, George nous a expliqué toute l'histoire de la région ... en bref nous nous sommes sentis comme chez voire même encore mieux ! :) L'appartement était encore plus beau qu'en photo, très bien décoré et très soigné. Le village était charmant et l'endroit très agréable, magnifique et reposant.
About the Host, George

Days 9 & 10- Little Rock and Home
Our last stop was with Lauren and Eric, Luke and John William in Little Rock, Arkansas. The boys had a blast swimming and the girls had some great cuzzie time too. Eric even had a break from call and was able to eat dinner with us. We woke up the next morning and headed all the way into New Iberia. The family was waiting for us with a warm welcome. We all agreed 10 days and about 3000 miles across the country was surprisingly fun! And God blessed us with a safe trek ...

... on line. It must have been an old ad. So we decided to go to Pizza Hut. What a mistake. The a/c was on and the restaurant part was freezing. We ordered, and waited an eternity. In the end I was too darned cold, so asked how long would the order be? Soon ma'm. Hmmm try 15 mins longer but waiting in the car this time.
Oh well one good meal, and one not so good.
Goodbye to Monticello. .

Shortly after we woke up, we went to the visitors center for the park and rented a canoe. The park ranger delivered it down to the lake for us and we spent the next couple house paddling around the lake. They had a path marked around the lake with buoys for kayakers to follow. We didn't see all the makers so I think we only ended up following the middle section. We had an enjoyable time. We ended up in a section of ...

When it comes to your career and personal life, how you respond to failure has a great impact on your prosperity. There are basically two ways to deal with adversity: put your tail between your legs and hide from it, or dust yourself off, reload and fire back! Take Rep. Anthony Weiner for example. When even President Obama says he would resign if he were you, does that mean it's time to pack it in? Only time will tell what the right move is for Weiner, but here are the stories of five prominent people who suffered extreme setbacks, yet turned around from their failures to achieve, or re-achieve, career success.
|5 Common Characteristics of the World\'s Most Famous & Successful Entrepreneurs
|5 Great Reasons To Start Your Own Business Now
|What Is Insider Trading and How to Avoid It – Definition, Laws & Cases
TUTORIAL: Greatest Investors
1. Donald Trump
This is probably the most publicized "fall from grace, return to glory" story. Donald Trump is the chairman and CEO of Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts, which runs a variety of casinos and hotels throughout the world. He initially made his money from huge property developments in Manhattan, but the recession during the late eighties really crushed "The Donald." He was unable to meet his company's loan payments and in the early nineties, his business went bankrupt and he was almost forced to declare personal bankruptcy.
But, like any true entrepreneur, Trump was by no means down for the count. As early as 1994, he had eliminated a great deal of his personal and professional debt. His return to the top has been bumpy, but he certainly enjoyed new-found fame with his hit reality series "The Apprentice," and he has been able to return to the extravagant lifestyle he once led. Mr. Trump has even considered a run for the presidency. How about that for a comeback? (To follow in Donald Trump's footsteps, check out Find Fortune In Commercial Real Estate.)
2. Martha Stewart
Martha Stewart is an American business magnate, media personality, author, magazine publisher and founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnipedia. During her original heyday, she published a variety of cookbooks and authored many newspaper columns, magazine articles and other pieces on homemaking. In 1990, she developed a magazine, Martha Stewart Living, where she was editor-in-chief. Circulation eventually spiked to more than two million copies per issue.
However, all of this success came to a crashing halt in early 2004 when she was convicted of lying to investigators about a stock sale using insider trading (and thereby avoiding a loss of more than $45,000). Martha Stewart served five months in a West Virginia federal prison camp.
Most experts speculated that her career was over, but they were wrong. Straight out of incarceration, Martha began her comeback. Amazingly, she returned her company to profitability by 2006. She introduced lines of ready-made home furnishings and mass market interior paint. She came back to television, re-inventing the Martha Stewart Show, and released a book during this time as well. She definitely did not let a short prison sentence get in her way! (For more on insider trading, check out Top 4 Most Scandalous Insider Trading Debacles.)
3. Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank
These two bring a whole new meaning to "self-made millionaire." On a fateful day back in 1978, both of these men were fired from their executive jobs at Handy Dan Home Improvement Centers in Southern California.
Rather than sticking their heads in the sand, they envisioned, and ultimately created, a chain of home improvement centers larger than any of the competition. They named it Home Depot. Before long, it became the youngest company to reach $30 billion, then $40 billion, then $50 billion and then $60 billion in sales in 2004. Need I say more? (To learn more about these CEOs and others, see The CEO Dream Team - Walton, Schwab, Marcus And Blank.)
4. George Foreman
You probably know the name. He was an accomplished boxer and now sells personal grilling products for a living. However, the transition wasn't so easy from professional athlete to successful entrepreneur.
In the mid-1980s, George Foreman was near bankrupt, which forced him into a boxing comeback at the age of 45. Even at this age, he was able to regain his heavyweight title (an amazing feat in and of itself). This allowed him to pay off millions of dollars in debt and launch his career as an entrepreneur. Talk about fighting your way back to the top! (To read more about some other great entrepreneurs, read The 10 Greatest Entrepreneurs.)
5. J.K. Rowling
Rowling is the author of the phenomenally successful Harry Potter fantasy series. She has sold hundreds of millions of books that were made into a string of wildly successful movies and profited from a huge amount of branded merchandise revenues as well. Anything with the name "Harry Potter" attached to it is almost guaranteed to sell.
This is truly a "rags to riches" story. When she first conceived the idea for the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling was living on benefits from the British government. While she never really experienced a "fall from grace," her story deserves mention when talking about people who have survived and flourished in spite of adversity. (For more information, check out Analyzing Show Biz Stocks.)
The Bottom Line
These stories are certainly interesting, but they can be valuable tools as well. Let them inspire you to reach farther, dream bigger, and jump higher. And when you fall down, think of George, Martha, Donald, J.K. and the founders of Home Depot. Get back up, brush yourself off, and come out swinging. Some of the most successful stories in the world are about people who have overcome adversity. They dealt with crisis head on and rose to the top despite tremendous odds.

B. LUMPKIN R. F. MELDAU United States Patent US. Cl. 23-230 8 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus for analyzing a gas stream from an underground in situ combustion process to provide one or more parameters for indicating the conditions in the combustion zone and facilitating control of the combustion operation.
This invention relates to an arrangement of apparatus and a process for analyzing the efiluent gas from the in situ combustion of an underground carbonaceous deposit and to the control of the in situ combustion process in response to the analysis obtained.
The production of oil from underground carbonaceous deposits by in situ combustion is an accepted practice in the petroleum industry. In this type of process, a combustion zone is established around an ignition well by any suitable method and the resulting combustion zone is caused to move thru the deposit either by direct injection of air thru the ignition well or by injection of air thru one or more ofiset wells to move the combustion zone countercurrently to the flow of air thru the deposit. One application of the process of producing oil by in situ combustion is in a sand containing a highly viscous crude oil, although the in situ combustion is applicable to either primary, secondary, or tertiary recovery operations in practically any type of stratum including tar sands, shale, and oil reservoirs.
In most applications, in situ combustion operation upgrades the crude oil or other carbonaceous material by in situ cracking. The instant invention provides an arrangement of apparatus and a process for determining the character of the effiuent gas from an in situ combustion operation and monitoring or controlling the process in response to the character of the product efiluent.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a process and system for analyzing a produced gas stream from a carbonaceous deposit undergoing in situ combustion in order to provide one or more parameters for indicating the conditions in the combustion zone and facilitating control of the in situ combustion operation. Another object is to provide a process and arrangement of apparatus for determining selected characteristics of 21 produced gas stream from the in situ combustion of subterranean carbonaceous material. A further object is to provide a process and apparatus for determining the concentration of at least one of oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and hydrocarbons in the effluent gas from the in situ combustion of a carbonaceous deposit as an indication of the nature of the in situ combustion. Other objects of the invention will become apparent to one skilled in the art upon consideration of the accompanying disclosure.
A broad aspect of the invention comprises withdrawing a small sample stream from the produced hot effluent from in situ combustion of a carbonaceous deposit, treating the sample stream to reduce the temperature and pressure thereof, remove condensed liquids, and dry the 3,454,365 Patented July 8, 1969 same, and metering a portion of the treated sample to one or more instruments including an oxygen analyzer, thermal conductivity cell, and a chromatographic analyzer to obtain parameters which indicate the characteristics of the combustion. A hydrogen detector may also be utilized to determine the H concentration in the eflluent as an indication of the extent of cracking. The oxygen concentration is, of course, determined by an oxygen analyzer as an indication of the amount of 0 bypassing the combustion zone or appearing in the eflluent gas due to a low combustion rate. The concentration of hydrocarbons and CO in the produced efiluent is determined by the thermal conductivity cell and chromatograph in known manner. Also, the chromatograph is used to determine the C -C hydrocarbon concentration in the production stream.
In one aspect of the invention, the signal from various instruments are rationalized thru a control computer which puts out a control signal and/or a print out for use in controlling the air injection rate and/or the production rate at the production well head to maintain an optimum utilization of the oxygen in the air stream and to optimize the in situ cracking process. In instances in which the combustion rate drops below a desired level as indicated by the monitoring instruments, a secondary signal may be used to inject supplementary fuel (such as methane, propane, or LP gas) to raise the combustion rate and temperature level within the carbonaceous deposit to restore optimum concentrations of the various constituents in the production stream.
A more complete understanding of the invention may be had by reference to the accompanying schematic drawing which is a flow and arrangement of apparatus in accordance with the invention.
Referring to the drawing, a carbonaceous stratum 10 is penetrated by a production well 12 and an injection well 14. Air is injected into well 14 thru line 16 and tubing stream 18 under the impetus of blowers or compressors 20. Well 12 is provided with production tubing 22, which connects with production line 24, and with water injection line 26 for controlling the temperature within the production well below ignition temperature of the produced hydrocarbons at the oxygen concentration existing in the produced gases. Usually, the temperature is maintained below about 550 or 600 F.
Production line 24 leads into sand trap 28, which drops out any sand in the produced stream thru line 30 and removes any liquid product thru line 32, the overhead gas stream passing thru line 34 to recovery equipment not shown.
A small sample stream is recovered at sample point 36 and is passed thru line 38 and condenser 40 therein to line 42, from which a selected portion passes to separator 44 and the remaining portion passes to line 34 via line 45. Condensed liquids in condenser 40, such as light oils and water, are recovered thru line 46. The cooled gas is metered at a selected rate thru meter 48 in line 50, the remaining gas being passed thru line 52 into line 34.
The sample gas stream from line passes into line 54, a portion of this stream being passed thru pressure regulator 56 to reduce the pressure to a selected value suitable for the downstream instruments and the remaining portion being passed via line 57 to line 34. The gas in line 54 passing thru pressure regulator 56 also passes thru a cooler or condenser 58 and a filter and liquid trap 60 from which liquid is vented thru line 62. The filtered gas stream is metered by meter 64 to provide a predetermined flow rate of gas for passage to the downstream instruments. This stream of metered gas is passed thru dryer 66 before passing to the downstream instruments. Any excess gas in line 54 downstream of meter 64, when any one of the downstream instruments is not in operation, is returned to line 34 via line 68.
Usually, two or more dryers 66 are positioned in the gas line to provide for regeneration of one dryer while another dryer is on stream. A portion of the dry gas is fed thru meter 70 in line 72 to oxygen analyzer 74 for determination of the oxygen concentration in the sample gas stream. Analyzer 74 is a conventional instrument, commercially, available (such as Beckman O analyzer), and emits a signal thus line 76 which is proportional to the oxygen concentration. In conventional manner, a standard reference gas is passed from any one of cylinders 78, line 80 and branch line 82 into the sample gas stream in line 72 upstream of meter 70. Nitrogen from cylinder 84 may alternatively be passed thru line 86 into the sample gas stream in line 72 in conventional manner.
Another portion of the dry sample gas stream is passed via line 88 and branch line 90 thru meter 92 into thermal conductivity cell 93 along with a standard reference gas introduced thereto from lines 80 and 94. Carrier gas such as helium is passed from storage cylinder 96 thru lines 98 and 100 either into line 90 upstream of meter 92 or thru line 102 directly into thermal conductivity cell 93.
Thermal conductivity cell 93 is a commercially available, conventional instrument, such as a Beckman, and emits a signal thru line 104 proportional to the concentration of CO or hydrocarbons in the sample gas stream, depending upon the reference gas being utilized.
Similarly, a stream of sample gas is passed from line 88 thru line 106 in admixture with a standard reference gas from line 80 thru meter 108 and a constant volume regulator 110 to chromatographic analyzer 112. Helium, as a carrier gas, is also introduced to instrument 112 by line 98, meter 114, and constant volume regulator 116 for admixture with the sample gas in instrument 112. The chromatograph is provided with injection points 118 and 120 for use when injecting a bomb sample or a syringe sample. Vent line 122 contains a sample point 124 for obtaining a syringe sample and sample point 126 for obtaining a bomb sample when such samples and operation are desired.
Chromatographic analyzer 112 is a conventional instrument such as Model 109 manufactured by Phillips Petroleum Company and commercially available. This instrument emits a signal thru line 128 which is proportional to the concentration of hydrocarbons broadly or of a specific range of hydrocarbons in the gas sample, depending upon the reference gas fed to this instrument.
Hydrogen detector 130 is fed a gas sample thru line 132 and nitrogen thru line 134 for determination of the H content of the sample gas. When utilized in the system, a signal proportional to the H content is emitted thru line 136 and may be fed to computer 138 along with the signals from the other instruments. However, this hydrogen detector may be utilized independent of the other analytical instruments.
Any one or all of the signals from instruments 74, 93 and 112 may be fed to computer 138 for obtaining a control signal for operation of the in situ combustion process being effected in stratum 10. The computer may also provide a printout for use in manual control of the in situ combustion process.
Control of the in situ combustion process may be effected by increasing the air input from blowers or compressors 20 as by regulating the valve in line 16 to vary the injection pressure and/or by varying the back pressure in well 12 as by regulating the valve in line 22. It is also feasible to regulate the rate of introduction of water as a coolant in well 12 of regulating the valve in line 26.
Methane may be introduced .thru line 140 when desired to increase the combustion temperature in response to a need for a higher combustion temperature as indicated by the parameters provided by the analytical instruments.
Since the response to a change in air injection pressure and/or back pressure (changing the air injection rate) in the system is relatively slow, it is usually preferred to space the control signals at certain intervals or to bypass the generated signals until the process has responded to the previous control signal and adjustment as indicated by the monitoring instruments. In an in situ combustion operation in which the response to a change in air injection rate is particularly slow, a printed read out of the parameter combination in line 142 may be provided for an operator who manually adjusts the control valves or other control elements in the apparatus arrangement. The information provided by the several instruments of the disclosed system is particularly useful in the initial phases of the in situ combustion operation when regulation of conditions, particularly of the rate of injection of air, is of primary importance.
In a typical operation, hot production fluid at a temperature of about 500 F. and a pressure of about 1000 p.s.i.g. is passed thru line 24 to the system shown at a rate of about 360,000 standard cubic feet per hour (s.c.f.h.). A small sample of this stream is taken off at point 36. This sample is cooled to a temperature of about 70 F., or roughly room temperature, and reduced in pressure to below about 20 p.s.i.g. downstream of cooler or condenser 58. This cooling and pressure reduction is preferably effected step-wise but may be done in one operation. The sample gas stream is then dried in dryer 66 and passed at a rate of 0.018 to 0.021 standard cubic feet per minute (s.c.f.m.) thru line 72. Of this dry sample gas stream, 0.006 to 0.007 s.c.f.m. is passed to oxygen analyzer 74 in admixture with carrier gas and a standard reference gas. A comparable stream of the sample gas is also passed to thermal conductivity cell 93 in admixture with a carrier gas and a standard reference gas. The fiow rate of sample gas to chromatographic analyzer 112 is controlled within the range of 0.004 to 0.007 s.c.f.m. and this sample gas in admixed with carrier gas and a standard reference gas.
Standard reference gases comprise a combustion gas prepared by burning a sample of the reservoir carbonaceous material or crude oil and recovering the resulting combustion gas as the standard reference gas. Other reference gases comprise normally gaseous hydrocarbons and/or standard mixtures thereof.
Instruments 74 and 93 utilized in one arrangement are Beckman instruments, the chromatograph being a Phillips Model 109 instrument.
Certain modifications of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art and the illustrative details disclosed are not to be construed as imposing unnecessary limitations on the invention.

Dry conditions likely when Tigers, Seminoles meet
CLEMSON - Perfect football weather — a close companion for the teams at Clemson and Florida State in the first half of their perfect football seasons — is likely to continue through Saturday night's Atlantic Coast Conference showdown at Memorial Stadium.
The National Weather Service predicts a slight chance of rain Saturday afternoon but dry conditions by Saturday night.
The weather service also calls for a slight chance, 20 percent, of rain for Friday's high school football activity.
On Wednesday, the National Weather Service forecast a 40 percent chance of showers Thursday, with thunderstorms possible after 4 p.m. Sunny skies are expected to return Friday, with mostly clear conditions for Friday night's football games. The Saturday forecast calls for a 30 percent chance of showers after noon and mostly cloudy skies Saturday night.
Ideal football temperatures — highs in the mid-70s and overnight lows in the 50s — are expected to prevail through the weekend. Sunday should offer mostly sunny skies, according to the weather service.
That follows a football season filled with dry footballs and turf for the third-ranked Clemson and fifth-rated Florida State teams, whose 8 p.m. collision Saturday will be telecast nationally. The winner will have the inside track in the race to win the Atlantic Coast Conference's Atlantic Division.
Following a summer of record-setting rain in the Upstate, Clemson (6-0) has yet to play a game in wet conditions this season, and the Tigers have had few practice sessions in the rain. Florida State's first five games have also been played in dry conditions.
After receiving 53.52 inches of rain in the first eight months of the year, the Upstate has experienced an unusually dry autumn. Rainfall at the Anderson Regional Airport was measured at 1.92 inches in September and 0.72 in the first half of October, about half the normal amount for both periods.
The lack of rainfall hasn't had a major impact on lake levels. Hartwell Lake stood at 660.4 feet above mean sea level Wednesday morning, its 146th consecutive day at full pool or higher. The lake is 13 feet higher than it stood on Oct. 15 a year ago.

UK Hedge Fund Manager's Chickens To Maintain The Lifestyle They've Grown Accustomed To In 2013
What motivates a hedge fund manager to continue busting his ass to churn out profits year after year, once he's already amassed a fortune most people can't even fathom, when he could easily pack it all in and live more than comfortably without ever working another day? For some, it's the thrill. For others, it's the trophy's wife's shoe habit. For Crispin Odey, it's the chickens.
The Odey Asset Management founder (and sausage brand ambassador)'s got a mess of high-maintenance ones and earlier this year, had architects draft blueprints of a "Palladian-style" mansion he intended to build them (seen at left), replete with a grey zinc roof, "pediments, cornice, architrave, and frieze in English oak," and columns "hewn from the finest grey Forest of Dean standstone." After finishing 2011 down 20.3%, things were no doubt more than a little tense over in Herefordshire, where questions of whether or not construction would have to be halted, or if they'd have to make the switch to [whispers] generic-brand feed. Certainly a moment of panic swept over Odey each day when he returned home, wondering as he turned the knob if he'd be entering an empty house, the chickens gone and a note explaining they couldn't do this anymore on the fridge. Ran off with the general contractor because what was the point of shacking up with a money manger if the money wasn't there? Luckily for all parties involved, it won't have to come to that; according to Bloomberg Markets' annual ranking of the top performing hedge funds, performing under pressure is one of Odey's specialities.

Electrical Engineering Information: Online Reference, Theorems, Jobs. In academia and electronic industry, the terms electrical and electronics engineer often are used interchangeably.
In other industries, the term electrical engineer may refer to those who deal with utility and industrial power systems and other electric equipment. In any case, both disciplines are overlapping. The theoretical foundation for EE is electromagnetism. The theory of classical electromagnetism is based on Maxwell's equations. They provide a unified description of the behavior of electric and magnetic fields as well as their interactions with matter. This webpage is for those who have already learned EE and need a quick reference information.

Maxthon [Softpedia Edition]184.108.40.2060 Final
editor's review
19 comments
Maxthon is an IE-based browser that brings something different to the table. Besides encasing the basic functions that any respectable browser should, Maxthon comes with a few extra abilities that might turn it into your browser of choice.
Screen capture and translations
Maxthon was and still is a source of inspiration for many developers. In a nutshell, it made them think that a browser can still be called a browser even if it's bundled with features that are totally unrelated with the functionality that an Internet navigator ought to have.
For instance, screen capture or translation capabilities are not defining features for a web browser, but Maxthon incorporates them and they're very much appreciated, too.
Mouse gestures and other handy features
Besides these additional tools, Maxthon has a rich collection of browser-connected abilities that are also awesome. One of its more cherished advantages lies in the mouse gestures. By holding down the right-button of your mouse, you can perform a gesture that will make Maxthon go back, refresh, open links and many others.
With Magic Fill you can fill and save form data, while the Ad Hunter module blocks ads and popup windows. The Web Sniffer locates and extracts multimedia files from a page.
You can assign nicknames to websites you frequently use, and Maxthon will load it after you type the nickname in the URL bar. Capture the whole content of a page, or only part of it, without having to install any extensions, and change the text in the interface to a language of your choice.
A reliable and efficient web browser
In conclusion, you can easily get lost in this exciting, completely customizable web browser. Softpedia fans should totally check out our custom made edition for Softpedia feeds and other goodies.
Also available: Portable Maxthon Cloud Browser

The install took me 30 minutes. Hardest part was lining up tail pipes out rear of truck. Sounds great at idle and around town. When on the highway or whenever the Hemi goes from 8 to 4 cylinders it sounds like a VW bug in the cab. Took off the truck and sold to a friend.

Bicycle Colorado
Go Fartlek
Fartlek, which means "speed play" in Swedish, is a training method that blends continuous training with interval training. The variable intensity and continuous nature of the exercise places stress on both the aerobic and anaerobic systems. It differs from traditional interval training in that it is unstructured; intensity and/or speed varies, as the athlete wishes. (Source: Wikipedia) The art of exploring

Great room. Great food. We are spoiled.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
I was very happy with the room and the room rate. Hotel rooftop restaurant is a good vantage point. I have to say I was not impressed with my meal in the restaurant but that may have been a poor choice on my part. I went back to the hotel on my way north. Having trouble with the wifi connection I asked the manager for help. He spent some time on the problem and even got his computer expert to try and help. later when I asked about hotels in Savannakhet he not only provided a recommendation but his wife took time to phone and make the booking for me. I also explained that I was looking for someone I'd met in Lao many years ago. I had a name and a company that he used to work for. she was more than helpful making a number of phone calls and eventually getting me a phone number. This level of service is unusal even in a 5* Hotel. I found all the staff cheerful and helpful and think the hotel is very good value for the money.

Travel Blogs from Pakse
Pakse 14 en 15 maart
Pakse, 14 en 15 maart, Het "Pakse hotel" is en geweldig hotel. Een neo koloniale villa uit de Franse tijd met ontzettend brede gangen en deuren van oud edelhout. de patron een Fransman dus komt met iedereen een persoonlijk praatje maken of alles naar wens is en op onze vraag wat er zoal te beleven was in pakse kregen we een wandeladvies van hem. …
People, Places, and lots of Meat
So, before heading down to the famous 4,000 Island area, I just had a couple of other things I wanted to do. First of all, go to the Pakse morning market, which had a great reputation as a place that people from many different tribes come together to buy and sell. Then, I wanted to the one of the best Khymer temples outside Cambodia - Wat Phou. It …

After gazing at the thickly clad palm tree banks that stretched some way, we headed back, met up for a meal where I asked the only local who could speak English to arrange a ferry to take me back to Nakasang where I decided to continue my journey to Cambodia.

All good things, I guess, must come to an end. You could stay here for day, if not weeks...forever.

I am new to GIT and am curious about the appropriate workflow (it is only my 2nd SCM with my 1st being Clearcase). Let's assume that there are 2 GIT branches:

Foobar branch, makes his change, and commits it.
Jane now needs to make a change to
hello.txt that needs to be in BOTH the

Foobar branch, makes her change and commits it. She then checks out the
Master branch and pulls in the file from the
Foobar branch. However, she has now inappropriately merged John's changes into

Archive for the 'Garners Ferry Road' tag
CVS Pharmacy, 7535 Garners Ferry Road Suite G: 2014 1 comment
You can still make out the label-scar on this East Point Plaza storefront. I thought this Garners Ferry CVS location had closed earler than 2014, but it is still listed in the February 2014 phonebook. In a way, this one reminds me of the one in the old Wal Mart plaza at Polo Road -- holding on in a declining location for longer than you might expect.
Save A Lot, 6646 Garners Ferry Road: Spring 2015 (moving) 2 comments
The only time I was ever in a Save A Lot was when I lived in Aiken, and there was one on US-1 heading out of town for I-20. It was the most "off" brands I had seen since they heyday of 'generic' items back in the 1980s. Of course the name brand stuff probably comes from the same factories, and non-Kellog/non-Post rasin bran gets just as soggy as the big guys.
Their sign says they are moving to East Pointe Plaza, which is the old Sears location. (It is also the home of possibly the coldest Subway in the world).
Jeffers-McGill TV Appliance & Furniture: 6650 Garners Ferry Road: 2 April 2015 (moved) 8 comments
I recall seeing an articl in The State about upcoming changes to Landmark Square, and this is one of them: Jeffers-McGill have vacated their Garners Ferry location and have moved to Atlas Road.
UPDATE 28 April 2015 -- Here is a bad picture of the new Atlas Road Location:
Marble Slab Creamery, 141 Pelham Drive: November 2014 (moved) no comments
I was at Panera on Garners Ferry this evening and I noticed that the Marble Slab Creamery has moved across the parking lot from the Cici's wing of the shopping center to the Panera wing. The new location is actually the old Starbucks location which became vacant when Starbucks moved into the old Qdoba location.
Subway, 10115 Garners Ferry Road: 3 comments
This Subway was way out on Garners Ferry in Eastover, next to the Hot Spot. Restaurants are pretty thin on the ground in this area, especially national chains, so I was a bit surprised to hear they had closed, yet not too surprised because customers are pretty spread out as well.
(Hat tip to commenter Gary)
Lane Bryant, 141-B Pelham Drive: early 2014 no comments
You can sort of see Lane Bryant in operation at the Shoppes At Woodhill if you click-through and peer behind the trees in the first shot.
Judging from the 2014 phonebook, where they still list this location, this shop must have departed in the first part of the year. I've been over there several times to eat at Ci-Ci's, but I just can't remember as my eyes automatically skip over clothing stores. I was a bit surprised to see that this wing of the plaza has a Pelham Drive address, I would have expected all the buildings to piggyback off the Garners Ferry number used by the Panera wing.
Bangkok Restaurant, 7509 Garners Ferry Road Suite H: May 2014 (moved) 2 comments
Bangkok Thai-Chinese restaurant has moved across Garners Ferry from its old home in the Southern Salvage plaza to the Wal-Mart outparcel plaza. This is the former site of Larry's Subs and Steve's Subs. It was also the site of Japan Grill about which I need to do a closing.
(Hat tip to commenter Badger).
Starbucks Coffee, 6080-A Garners Ferry Road: 1 May 2014 (moved) 6 comments
Starbucks has now moved from its original Woodhill location by Panera Bread down to the corner formerly occupied by Qdoba.
The new location gives it a drive through window, but perhaps more importantly in my view, moves it away from Panera. It has never made much sense to me to have a coffee and pastry shop located... right next to a shop that sells better coffee and pastries in a more comfortable setting. Without the drive-through all they had going for them was staying open a little later.
Framing Plus Antiques & Gifts, 6864 Garners Ferry Road, 23 December 2011(moved) no comments
Here's another Landmark Square storefront, this one a framing and gifts operation.
According to their referral sign, they moved to 4339 Fort Jackson Boulevard in late 2011, and according to the February 2013 phonebook, they are still there.
The New South Music Hall / Columbia East Theaters, 7351 Garners Ferry Road: late 1980s 16 comments
I really can't remember the Columbia East Theaters. I think their heyday was when I was living in Fayetteville, and when I came home during that period, I had plenty of go-to theaters closer than these. Various commenters have described how they started out as a twin theater, later expanded to a quad-plex and ended life as a $0.99 cent venue.
Commenter Dennis mentions that the building pre-existed the theaters and was once The New South Music Hall, a live music club.
Currently the building, and surrounding defunct shopping plaza, is part of the Word Of God Ministries, a church which has also rehabilitated the old Intersection Center / Sam Solomon plaza on Diamond Lane.
7351 Garners Ferry Road is an approximate address, taken from a listing for former plaza business The Talk Of The Town Hair Gallery.
(Hat tip to commenter Brent Carter)
