Combining the benefits of a GPS device, camera, PDA, and cellphone, this pocket-sized device provides forest workers with a range of tools in a single compact package, so there are fewer batteries to charge and fewer devices to manage.
With a camera at the ready, your teams can document exactly what they see in the woods. The Trimble Juno 3 combines photos with GPS so photos can be instantly geotagged for future reference. In addition, forest to office collaboration is dramatically improved because photos can be sent from the forest for review back in the office.
For standard positioning applications such as navigation, the high-sensitivity receiver delivers optimal yield so you can get a position fast under heavy tree canopy. 2 to 5 meter positional accuracy is always available in real time in regions with SBAS coverage. In addition, accuracy can be further improved to 1 to 3 meters through simple postprocessing routines to meet company or regulatory standards.
In remote environments, data integrity and standardization is critical to maintain total workflow efficiency. Professional, geo-enabled data collection requires dedicated field software. The Trimble Juno 3 series is optimized for and bundled with Trimble SOLO Forest™ software and other industry-standard field software, so you can be confident that the data you receive back in the office is exactly what you need for streamlined integration into your enterprise GIS and fast updates.

Living with Crohn's Disease
Living with Crohn's Disease Overview
Patient Comments
If you have Crohn's disease, you are already aware of the many challenges you face. If your disease was only recently diagnosed or you have a loved one with the disease, you may be struggling to understand what this disease will mean to you and your family. Here are some points that may help you understand Crohn's disease, and tips to make a plan in living with this chronic illness.
Crohn's disease is a chronic illness. Crohn's disease will be a part of you for the rest of your life. Adjusting to that alone is difficult for many people. It can be very hard to accept that you will be living not only with the effects of the disease, but also with the unpredictability of disease flare-ups, limitations of your activity, frequent doctor visits, uncomfortable medical tests, and medications and their side effects.
Crohn's disease is a potentially serious disease. Inflammation in the digestive tract can cause serious complications such as bleeding, holes in the intestinal wall (perforation), pockets of infection (abscesses), and abnormal connections between the digestive tract and other parts of the body (fistulas). Crohn's disease also can cause inflammation and damage to other parts of the body, such as the joints, skin, eyes, mouth, liver, and bile ducts. You may need to spend time in the hospital if you have a severe flare up or complication.
Nothing you did or didn't do caused you to have Crohn's disease. There is no evidence that diet, stress, medications, or other lifestyle factors cause Crohn's disease. The disease seems to be caused by some trigger in susceptible people. We don't know what makes a person susceptible, but it is probably genetic. We also don't know what the trigger is. It may be infection with a specific bacteria or virus.
There are many treatment options available to manage Crohn's disease, although there currently is no cure for the disease. The critical part of treatment is reducing inflammation, which helps to relieve the symptoms, and decrease the risk of complications in most people. Several different types of anti-inflammatory medications, antibiotics, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and biologic therapies are available. If one drug doesn't work, another probably will. Surgery is another treatment option if medications do not help.
You are not alone. About 1 million people in the United States have Crohn's disease. There are other people who understand exactly what you are going through and want to help. A number of groups exist to educate the public and policy makers, raise funds for research, and provide support and assistance to people affected with the disease.

WACO (January 9, 2013)--A Waco man arrested in December after an incident in which a man was beaten with a claw hammer was named in a multi-count indictment Wednesday.
Michael Jason Portillo, 36, was indicted for burglary of a habitation with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of aggravated robbery.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said officers were sent at around 3:30 a.m. Dec. 1, 2012 to a residence in the 2300 block of Washington Avenue after police received a 911 call about a 36-year-old man being beaten with a hammer.
When officers arrived a 33-year-old woman told them her estranged husband had come into the residence while she and the other man were asleep and began beating the man with a claw hammer.
The woman also reported she was pushed.
The attacker had fled, but officers found him outside the residence and tried to arrest him.
The suspect, who Swanton said was 5-feet, 6-inches tall and weighed about 330 pounds, resisted arrest and attempted to pull two knives out of his pockets and attack officers.
The officers at the scene used a stun gun to bring the suspect under control and handcuffed him.
The man who was attacked had a gash on his head but he refused medical attention, Swanton said.
Portillo remains in the McLennan County Jail in lieu of bonds totaling $250,000.

This question is short but to the point: what is the "right" abstract framework where Mayer-Vietoris is just a trivial consequence?
The Mayer-Vietoris sequence is an upshot of the relationship between sheaf cohomology and presheaf cohomology (a.k.a. Cech cohomology).
Let $X$ be a topological space (or any topos), $\mathcal U$ a covering of $X$. Let $\mathop{\rm Sh}X$ be the category of sheaves on $X$ and $\mathop{\rm PreSh}X$ the category of presheaves. The embedding $\mathop{\rm Sh}X \subseteq \mathop{\rm PreSh}X$ is left-exact; its derived functors send a sheaf $F$ into the presheaves $U \mapsto \mathrm H^i(U, F)$. For any presheaf $P$, one can define Cech cohomology $\mathrm {\check H}^i(\mathcal U, P)$ of $P$ by the usual formulas (this is often done only for sheaves, but scrutinizing the definition, one sees that the sheaf condition is never used). One shows that the $\mathrm {\check H}^i(\mathcal U, -)$ are the derived funtors of $\mathrm {\check H}^0(\mathcal U, -)$; and of course for a sheaf $F$, $\mathrm {\check H}^0(\mathcal U, F)$ coincides with $\mathrm H^0(\mathcal U, F)$. The Grothendieck spectral sequence of this composition, in the case of a covering with two elements, gives the Mayer--Vietoris sequence.
There is also a spectral sequence for finite closed covers, which is obtained as in anonymous's answer.
I guess that this can also be interpreted as Tilman does, in a different language (I am not a topologist).
Maybe you're looking for the Mayer-Vietoris spectral sequence, the homology spectral sequence for a homotopy colimit? The MV-sequence is a two-line spectral sequence, thus an exact sequence.
The general form is $$ E^2_{p,q} = colim_p H_q(X_\bullet) \Rightarrow H_{p+q}(hocolim X_\bullet) $$ You can think of this as a composite functor spectral sequence.
This answer is related to Tilman's: Let $U$ and $V$ be the open sets covering $X$. For $S$ an open subset of $X$, let $\mathbb{Z}_S$ be the pushforward to $X$ of the sheaf of locally constant integer valued functions on $S$. Then we have a short exact sequence of sheaves
$$0 \to \mathbb{Z}_X \to \mathbb{Z}_U \oplus \mathbb{Z}_V \to \mathbb{Z}_{U \cap V} \to 0$$
and the corresponding long exact sequence is the Mayer-Vietores sequence in cohomology.
This answer can be generalized easily to any open cover of $X$: you have a long exact sequence of sheaves:
$$0 \to \mathbb{Z}_X \to \bigoplus \mathbb{Z}_{U_i} \to \bigoplus \mathbb{Z}_{U_i \cap U_j} \to \cdots$$
which gives a spectral sequence
$$\bigoplus H^p(U_{i_1} \cap U_{i_2} \cap \cdots U_{i_q}) \to H^{p+q}(X).$$
Here's an answer somewhat different from those already given.
Associated to any homotopy pullback square, there's a long exact sequence of homotopy groups often called the Mayer-Vietoris sequence. It comes from weaving together the long exact sequences for, say, the two vertical maps in the square, which have homotopy equivalent homotopy fibers. (This weaving is a standard homological algebra exercise, and appears somewhere in Hatcher's book...)
Now, to build the Mayer-Vietoris sequence in cohomology for a CW complex X written as a union of subcomplexes $X = A\cup B$, just note that the homotopy pushout square formed by $A\cap B$, A, B, and X becomes a homotopy pullback square after applying Map(-, K(G, n)), where G is the coefficient group you're using. The Mayer-Vietoris homotopy sequence is now precisely the M-V sequence in cohomology.
(Annoyingly, for a fixed value of n this only gives you some of the sequence.)
It would be interesting to see a variant of this for homology, maybe using the infinite symmetric product? I suppose the place to look would be the book by Aguilar-Gitler-Prieto, where homology is introduced entirely in terms of symmetric products. The relevant bit seems to be missing from the Google preview.

If you are in a room with cameras in it, is it like the people looking through those cameras are in the room?

There are many cases in Halacha which involve having someone in the room. For many of them, an actual person in the room is required; a video camera is not enough. But if we just need to be sure about something, a video often works.
For many laws of kosher, the requirement is to be sure that the food is kosher; a video camera may be good enough for this.
I doubt a video camera is enough to prevent the problem of yichud.
If we can see someone stealing money on the video camera, that's enough proof to make them pay it back. (There's a story where R' Saadiah Gaon used science about 1000 years ago to solve a question of who owes money.) I'm not sure it would be enough proof to give the death penalty for a murderer, though.
Sometimes we need witnesses not just to prove something, but to make it happen in the first place. A Jewish wedding doesn't work unless two witnesses watch him give her the ring -- otherwise, they're not married! There's some discussion about whether the witnesses need to "see it" or just "know it"; but we would probably require that the witnesses actually be there, not just on video.
As far as davening with a minyan goes, I know they talk about it. The Gemara says that the big shul in Alexandria (Egypt, about 1800 years ago) was so big, they had to raise a flag so you knew to say "Amen" because people couldn't hear.
There are lots of mitzvas that you can either do yourself, or listen to someone else do (like davening or brachos or reading a megillah). The rabbis talk about whether listening on microphone or radio is good enough (Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef's grandfather said no about the megillah). But I can't think of many mitzvas that you have to SEE something. It would probably be a similar discussion about whether seeing it on camera works.
Those are a few cases I can think of; did you have something else in mind?

Expert Tips on Improving Your Child's Reading Comprehension
Q: My son is eight years old and starting third grade in September. I have noticed that he has problems in comprehending what he reads and being able to explain the main concept. What can I do as a parent to improve his reading comprehension? In addition, when he was asked at school to look at a certain picture and write a story about it, he would come up with mostly unrelated themes.
A: When young children have difficulty understanding what they read, they are not really reading. To be a reader, you must know what the words are saying. Your son's problem may be purely a comprehension problem or could be due to other poor reading skills.
At the start of the school year, you will want to keep close tabs on how your son is doing in reading by talking to his teacher frequently. He may need some special help to improve his reading skills.
Meanwhile, there are things that you can do to improve his comprehension when you read to him or he reads to you. Try using the following strategies that classroom teachers use:
- Read the story first yourself.
- Introduce words and concepts that he may not know.
- Provide him with background information about the story. For example, he might need to know more about glaciers or gliders if he is reading about these topics.
- Ask who, what, when, where, and why questions about a story after reading it. If he can't answer these questions, try asking them after reading a few paragraphs.
You can definitely help your son learn to look at a picture and then write about it. First, you will need to model for him how it's done. Select a variety of pictures, and tell him simple stories about them. Then have him add elements to these stories before starting to tell his own stories. You may need to give him some suggestions to keep him on a single theme and also to ask questions to get him started. Once he can tell stories about pictures, he'll be able to write them.

Serena Williams Knocked Out of Australian Open
Tournament favorite Serena Williams crashed out of the Australian Open on Wednesday, falling 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 in two hours and 17 minutes to 19-year-old Sloane Stephens, a compatriot who grew up with a poster of the 15-time Grand Slam champion on her bedroom wall.
Williams said her back locked up as she chased down a drop shot in the second set, but it was clear her injury wasn't to blame for the loss: "There's no excuse there," she said after playing the first all-American Grand Slam quarterfinal since she defeated her sister Venus Williams at the 2008 US Open.
The top-ranked American called this year's Open her worst Grand Slam experience of the 50 she has contested. The 31-year-old hit herself in the face with her racket in her second-round match, after falling and injuring her right ankle during the opening round. "I think that kind of started everything up the chain because I'm compensating and maybe it made my back hurt," she said.
Williams arrived in Melbourne as the tournament favorite, having lost just one match since last May's French Open. She started 2013 with a warm-up event in Brisbane, beating Stephens 6-4, 6-3 in their first meeting. Stephens, at 19 years and 10 months, is the youngest American to reach a Grand Slam semifinal since 18-year-old Williams reached the final four at Wimbledon in 2000.
Stephens, currently ranked 25th in the world, said she is amazed at her own recent run of results. She finished 2009 ranked 802, cracked the top 100 two years later and is now on course for a career-high world 17 spot.
"I'm in the semis of a Grand Slam, I was like, whoa, it wasn't as hard as I thought but it's pretty cool," she said in her post-match news conference. "I didn't think it would happen this fast, but the journey's been good, it's been fun," she said.
When she found herself trailing 3-6, 0-2, Stephens convinced herself she could come back.
"You just fight and just get every ball back, run every ball down, and just get a lot of balls in play," said Stephens, who began charging the net and playing more aggressively, helped by Williams who—because of her back—recorded first serves as slow as 114 kilometers an hour, well below her tournament-leading 207 kph bombshells.
On Thursday, Stephens will face World No. 1 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, who sailed through her quarterfinal on Wednesday against two-time Grand Slam winner Svetlana Kuznetsova 7-5, 6-1. If Stephens wins that match, she would find herself in her first final at the WTA Tour level.
"[I'll] just take it one day at a time obviously, just play my best really," she said. "I know definitely everyone's watching back home and is very proud of me, so [I'll] just do my best and make them happy."
Because her family isn't here, she's traveling with a team much smaller than her peers, including U.S. Tennis Association coach David Nainkin. He also coaches a handful of male players including Jack Sock, Steven Johnson and Sam Querrey. To fill two seats Stephens launched a Twitter contest, but still had nine to spare. She might ramp up the giveaway to four, but is still thinking of her family at home.
As for Williams, she still has a chance of reclaiming the World No. 1 ranking if defending champion Azarenka doesn't retain her title or if Maria Sharapova loses her semifinal against Li Na. But she said she is now more focused on winning three more singles titles to take her to a career total of 50.
"No. 1 is awesome if I get it. Like I said, I think I'll get there one day," she said. "If not, I've had it, so it is what it is…for me it's definitely more about doing well in tournaments."

The incidence of diabetes continues to grow at an alarming rate. Some of the most concerning growth is occurring with young people under 25 in each of the seven regions. Over 50% of the world's population is under 30, yet with only 5% of people with diabetes being under the age of 30, the needs of young people with diabetes can often be forgotten and that's why it's vital for them to have a voice within the IDF and their member.
Debbie Jones, past Chair of the Young Leaders in Diabetes Programme: "The IDF Young Leaders in Diabetes Programme went from a dream to a reality in Dubai 2011, where 70 young people with diabetes from around the world came together for Leadership Training and to attend the World Diabetes Congress. Since Dubai, these Young Leaders have continued to work together with their Member and have achieved the impossible. Their projects are testament to the hard work and commitment they have shown to the global diabetes community as well as locally. They are an inspiration to all who meet them and I am both honored and privileged to have had this opportunity of working alongside them."
To improve the lives of young people affected by diabetes worldwide.
The Young Leaders in Diabetes programme is the key driver in enhancing the lives of young people living with diabetes. The Young Leaders are committed to raising awareness of diabetes by being a powerful voice for prevention, education, access to quality care, improved quality of life, and the end of discrimination worldwide. The YLD programme supports the International Diabetes Federation in reaching its strategic plans.
The YLD programmes aims to reach the following goals:
1. Be a voice for young people affected by diabetes worldwide.
2. Identify and support the development of Young Leaders in the international diabetes community.
3. Empower and educate Young Leaders to support the mission of YLD and IDF by strengthening the IDF member.
Governance Structure
The Young Leaders in Diabetes Programme is governed by the YLD Council. The YLD Governance Council consists of the following bodies:
YLD Executive Council
The YLD Executive Council currently consists of the following people:
- Dr Dario Rahelić – Chair of Young Leaders in Diabetes Programme
- Aishath Shiruhana - Deputy Chair
- Cajsa Lindberg – YLD President
- Ashley Ng – YLD President-Elect
- Pei Yan Heng – YLD Vice-President
- Stephanie Cesile – Ex-Officio Member
- Robert Brooks – Ex-Officio Member
- Gavin Griffiths – Ex-Officio Member
YLD Regional Council

Yes it is possible - but without much more information it wouldn't be possible to state that that is what happened in your case.
If you were coasting at high speed, with the engine idling, if you suddenly let out the clutch to use engine braking, the transmission will drive the engine so the loads aren't the same as when you are accelerating. The engine should cope, but a possible failure mode is that the timing belt could slip/snap/jump and if that happens, your engine could fail catastrophically.
That said, timing belt failure can happen under acceleration too, but the only difference here is the sudden high load.

Corn Gene Identification Project
By moniquegarcia on Wed, 07/10/2013 - 2:41pm
Competitive Agricultural Systems in Global Economy
Research Year:2013
Cereal crops are the staple of most human diets worldwide. To improve crop yield and improve nutritive features in cereal crops, plant breeders need to know more about how specific genes work. Until recently, no one has ever attempted to characterize all of the genes in a single cereal crop.
Description of Action:
In 1998 plant scientists from the UA and five other universities won a 5-year, $12 million grant from the NSF to discover all 50,000 genes in corn, the nation''s most important economic crop.
The scientists are using a new method for discovering and sequencing genes in corn, and are sharing project findings and material resources with public and private researchers working to develop improved traits in corn and many other agronomically important grasses, such as wheat, barley, rice and oats. Additional tools developed by this project will enable scientists to learn where and when each gene is active and how the gene functions. The corn genomics project is expected to lead to greater fundamental genetic understanding of cereals that worldwide contribute roughly 70 percent of the calories in the human diet. University of Arizona molecular geneticists have characterized about 25,000 corn genes thus far.
As the sequence of each targeted gene is characterized, UA researchers have entered this information into a computer database where plant breeders, plant genetic engineers and researchers in basic biology around the world are accessing this information so they can use these genes to learn more about how plants work. Slides, gene libraries and seed containing the mutated genes are available to the scientific community. The project is already having major benefits for plant research around the world, according to the researchers. Several thousand people are requesting these genes, and other resources.

Earth Talk: Could We Harness Energy From Earthquakes?
July 20, 2011 Leave a comment
Dear EarthTalk: Can earthquake energy be harnessed for power, particularly in places like Japan? Also, how can Japan, so vulnerable to earthquakes, even have nuclear power?
– Sasha M., Australia
While it is no doubt theoretically possible to generate electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of shifting tectonic plates below the Earth's crust, pulling it off from a practical standpoint would be a real logistical challenge – not to mention prohibitively expensive compared to harnessing other forms of energy, renewable or otherwise.
Big earthquakes throw off vast amounts of energy. According to Beth Buczynski of the CrispGreen Web site, researchers have calculated that the January 2010 magnitude 7.0 earthquake that killed upwards of 220,000 people in Haiti released as much energy as 31 of the atomic bombs the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. And the magnitude 9.0 earthquake that struck northeast Japan in March 2011 unleashed the equivalent of more than 15,000 Hiroshima bombs. That's a lot of energy indeed.

I have an early 2009 24" iMac. Lately, when in sleep mode it will occasionally wake up for around ten seconds with the screen off, then go back to sleep. Wake on LAN is turned off so I can't figure out why this is happening!
There are a number of possible reasons, and the system actually logs the cause of each 'wake from sleep'.
Open a terminal and enter:
This may take some time to return a result, but when it does, you should get a series of lines that look something like the following:
Here are the possible 'Wake Reason' codes (lifted from OSXDaily)
Happy hunting!
A common reason for random wake-ups is network accesses.
If you go to System Preferences>Energy Saver, there you will see an option saying "Wake for network access". If this option is enabled, then your sleeping Mac will be able to wake-up for network accesses. For example, when you initiate a screen sharing from another Mac on your local network.
Anyway, this is all okay BUT when this option is enabled it's also documented on Apple's site that it will cause random wake-ups by just running the hard-drives but not starting up the screen; and it will go immediately back to sleep.
Also @macaco have putten it beautifully that you'll probably get a code for this reason.

I was wondering what exactly a coupled reaction is and why cells couple them. I read the wikipedia article as well as several others, such as life.illinois.edu but I still don't get it. Could someone explain it to me?
It's pretty simple. A reaction occurs that releases energy (like ATP losing a phosphate to become ADP + Pi). If this is uncoupled, the energy will merely turn into heat. If it is coupled, then it can be used to fuel some other process. For instance, if you couple the ATP -> ADP reaction to a certain protein, the energy can be used to modify the shape of that protein.
A coupled biochemical reaction is one where the free energy of a thermodynamically favourable reaction (such as the hydrolysis of ATP) is used to 'drive' a thermodynamically unfavourable one, by coupling or 'mechanistically joining' the two reactions.
To put it another way, two (or more) reactions may be combined by an enzyme (for example) such that a spontaneous reaction may be made 'drive' an unspontaneous one. Such reactions may be considered coupled (see, for example, Silby & Alberty (2001), quoted below).
An example is the reaction catalyzed by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 18.104.22.168; GAPDH) [see here] .
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + NAD+ + Pi → 1,3-diPhosphoGlycerate + NADH + H+
We can think of this reaction in terms of two separate reactions which are coupled mechanistically by the enzyme. (i) The NAD+ linked oxidation of an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid (the aldehyde dehydrogenase reaction) and (ii) the phosphorylation of a carboxylic acid. (Like ATP, a phosphorylated carboxylic acid may be considered a 'high energy' compound, that is one where the equilibrium for hydrolysis lies very much to the left in reaction 2 below).
Reaction 1
Reaction 2 (Pi is inorganic phosphate).
RCOOH + Pi → RC(=O)(O-Pi) + H2O
The NAD+-linked oxidation of an aldehyde (reaction 1) is practically irreversible. That is, at equilibrium it has proceeded almost totally to the right. (As far as I am aware, this reaction has never been convincingly reversed in vitro, although I know people who have tried!) As stated above, the position of equilibrium of reaction 2 lies very much to the left.
How can one 'drive' the formation of a phosphorylated carboxylic acid by coupling it to the (spontaneous) NAD+-linked oxidation of an aldehyde?
A simplified version of the GAPDH reaction is as follows (a more complete mechanism, supported by a lot of experimental evidence, may be found in Fersht (1999), which I quote below).
Step 1. Formation on an enzyme-linked thiohemiacetal.
A sulphydryl on the enzyme (part of a Cys residue) reacts with the aldehyde group on the substrate to give a thiohemiacetal. (In the representation above, groups in brackets are all connected to a single (tetrahedral) carbon atom).
Step 2. The thiohemiacetal is oxidized by enzyme-bound NAD+ to a thiol-ester (the key step).
This (enzyme-bound) thiol-ester is a 'high energy' intermediate wherein, it may be envisaged, the free energy of aldehyde oxidation has been 'trapped'.
The final step of the GAPDH reaction is now spontaneous (proceeds to the right).
Step 3. Attack on the thiol-ester by inorganic phosphate
E-S-C(=O)(R) + Pi → E-SH + R-C(=O)(O-Pi)
Thus, the free energy of NAD+-linked aldehyde oxidation has been 'sequestered' and used to 'drive' the thermodynamically unfavourable phosphorylation of a carboxylic acid, by coupling the two reactions via a ('high energy') thiol-ester.
The 'thermodynamic price' is that the GAPDH reaction (unlike NAD+-linked aldehyde oxidation) is freely reversible.
As stated above, this is a simplifed version of the GAPDH reaction. The (tetrameric) enzyme contains a tightly bound NAD+ for a start, and this needs to be taken account of. A fuller account may be found in the following reference:
For a fuller treatment of coupled biochemical reactions, see
Pyruvate kinase (EC 18.104.22.168) [see here] is another great example of a coupled biochemical reaction. In this case the reaction is almost irreversible in the direction of ATP synthesis!
The standard transformed free energy (ΔGo') for the hydrolysis of phosphoenol-pyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate and phosphate is ~ - 62 kJ/mol. This represents an equilibrium constant of about 1010 in favour of hydrolysis! (see Walsh, quoted below, pp 229-230).
For comparison, ΔGo' for ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi is about - 40 kJ/mol.
Thus the pyruvate kinase reaction may be viewed as a coupled biochemical reaction where the free energy of PEP hydrolysis is coupled to (almost irreversible) ATP synthesis.
Why does PEP have such a large negative ΔGo'? The enol form of pyruvate does not exist in appreciable quantites in aqueous solution at pH 7 (Pocker et al., 1969; Damitio et al., 1992). PEP may be considered a 'trapped' form of a thermodynamically unstable enol which is released upon hydrolysis, thus 'pulling' the equilibrium to the right. (see Walsh, quoted below, p 230, for a more thorough explanation).
Personally, I have always considered the reaction catalyzed by PK to be pretty amazing.
Oxidative Phosphorylation
The above examples are instances of substrate-level coupling. But perhaps the most important coupled reaction is that which occurs in oxidative phosphorylation, ie that which occurs beween oxidation of fuels via the respiratory redox chain and synthesis of ATP via the ATP synthetase complex. In short, that which occurs in respiration.
I have 'steered clear' up to this point, as it is a very complex area and difficult to do justice to in a few lines. However, in an attempt at completeness, I'll have a go.
In the chemiosmotic theory of oxidative phosphorylation (due primarily to Peter Mitchell) electron transport via the respiratory chain to molecular oxygen creates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane (which is normally impermeable to protons). Protons are pumped outwards. This proton gradient, or protonmotive force, may be used to 'drive' the following (thermodynamically unfavourable) reaction to the right, via the ATP synthetase complex.
ADP + Pi → ATP
This is commonly referred to as 'ATP synthesis', but what is meant is that the above reaction is maintained far from equilibrium to the right. (And this reaction, being far from equilibrium, may be used, by coupling, to 'drive' thermodynamically unfavourable processes).
That is, electron transport to oxygen is coupled to 'ATP synthesis' via a proton gradient. Among other characteristics, the coupled reactions in this case are spatially separated. (The ATP synthetase is an example of rotatory catalysis, see here).
Furthermore, the two reactions may be uncoupled.
A great example of an uncoupler is 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP). This is a weakly acidic lipophilic compound where both the unionized (dinitrophenol) and ionized (dinitrophenolate) forms are membrane-permeable.
It may be envisaged that DNP shuttles protons across the membrane (thereby dissipating the proton gradient) by diffusing back and forth (through the membrane), picking up protons on the outside and depositing then on the inside.
Now electrons originating from foodstuffs are passed via the respiratory chain to oxygen but no ATP is synthesized: the reactions are uncoupled, and the free energy is dissipated as heat. In fact, DNP was at one time used as a slimming agent (see here), but (among other side effects) it also causes blindness.
See Abeles, Frey & Jencks (pp 620-621, quoted below), for a more thorough treatment of the mechanism of DNP.
In the analogy of a car used by nico, this uncoupled reaction is equivalent to the case where the driver has his/her foot full on the accelerator (thus burning fuel at almost the maximum rate) but where the clutch is disengaged (thus no movement or 'work' is being done). To perhaps push the analogy a bit too far, a car moving along at, say, 50 KPH is an example of a coupled energy transformation: the burning of fuel is coupled to movement.
Historically, of course, it was at one time thought that all ATP synthesis occured via substrate-level coupling. Peter Mitchell changed all that.
These topics are treated in detail in almost every textbook of biochemistry. For example, Chapter 22 (The Electron Transport Pathway and Oxidative Phosphorylation) of Abeles, Frey and Jencks (quoted below).
The text of four nobel lectures, due to Fritz Lipmann Peter Mitchell, Paul Boyer and John Walker, where the pdf files are available to all, are also excellent sources (also quoted in full below).
These two classics also deserve to be quoted.
In a coupled reaction energy required by 1 process is supplied by another process. For example: glucose + phosphate becomes glucose.6.phosphate. This is an endergonic reaction and the energy is supplied to this reaction by another reaction which has to be exergonic reaction i.e. ATP which can become ADP+energy.
Coupling process by which two or more chemical reactions depend on each other through energy once one is exothermic another is endothermic, one produce product or intermediate which is used by the another Examples glycolysis and citric acid cycle , phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in steps of glycolysis and many other

Can a shower and tub share the same drain?
Of course they can as long as you have proper drainage angle and double venting and traps. If this is an installation of a new fixture, you need a permit and a master plumber to sign for the permit. Get a plumber and do it right. Just asking the question tells me you don't know what to do and could get into trouble. Saving a few bucks and doing it wrong will cost you so much more in the short and long run. Some things have to be left to the licensed professionals.
Yes, they will both be using the same drain pipe at somepoint inside or outside of your house.
But the the pipes must join well below the level of both items or the pipe must be large enough for the combined flow, otherwise when you put water down one of them, it will flow out of the other!
yes sir. most modern home are build to allow both to share the same drain.

How can I find out the maximum current that can flow in to my house?
closed as not a real question by The Evil Greebo, Tester101♦ Oct 14 '12 at 15:25
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
It depends on the wire diameter ("gauge"), the material, and the distance from the main transformer. Thicker, copper (vs aluminum), and shorter all mean less resistance and thus greater current carrying capability.
You'll need someone from the power company to assess it to tell you the maximum service they can provide without changing anything.

6 Mind-Blowingly Huge Versions of Things You Loved as a Kid
#3. The Biggest Treehouse in the World
Ever wonder what would happen if a kid continued working on his backyard treehouse for his entire life, rather than, you know, eventually hitting puberty and finding better things to do? It would probably look a little like this:
Wait until you see his parents' house.
Yep, that's a treehouse -- the sprawling, 97-foot-high structure is supported by an 80-foot-tall white oak and six other trees. There are 10 floors, with ceilings ranging from nine to 11 feet high, and it even includes a small basketball court. The hidden porn stash in this thing must be magnificent. Or not, because it was built by an ordained minister.
Horace Burgess of Crossville, Tennessee, has been building and expanding this massive treehouse since 1993, and it doesn't look like he's planning to stop any time soon.
Eventually the whole state will look like this.
Burgess says that the exact specifications of the treehouse were revealed to him in a four-second vision from God -- and yes, that includes the basketball court, which doubles as a sanctuary. The podium is positioned directly in front of the hoop, in case whoever is performing mass at 22 feet above the ground feels the need to punctuate a verse from the Bible by performing a dunk.
Roadside America
Which is odd, because Jesus was more of a lacrosse man.
According to Burgess, God's exact wording was, "If you build me a treehouse, I'll see you never run out of material" -- and he hasn't, but that's probably because the treehouse is made mostly from recycled materials scavenged from garages, barns and storage sheds. Burgess estimates that he has only put around $12,000 into the project, which is pretty good if you're looking for a new tree mansion and have 17 years to spare.
Also, unlike less tolerant treehouses with their oppressive anti-cooties stance, anyone is free to come hang out at "God's Treehouse" (as its creator calls it), as long as they don't act like dicks. One guy crashed for three years in this structure that will surely be a source of bafflement for future archeologists.
"Ah yes -- the habitat of the early 21st century Southeast monkey people."
And if this seems too much like a boy project, the ladies have their own version ...
#2. The Life-Sized Dollhouse
Imagine you're driving in the middle of nowhere and you run out of gas or are forced to stop for directions ... right in front of a house that looks like this:
Heather Benning
Also you are a group of hot, oblivious teenagers who have just had copious amounts of sex.
Yeah, we'd shit our pants, too. However, all it takes is one look at the back of the house to realize that it's actually less Texas Chainsaw Massacre and more Barbie's Rural Dream House.
Heather Benning
See? Just a perfectly normal giant dollhouse in the middle of a field!
Like most of our female readers and an important sector of our male ones, Canadian artist Heather Benning has fond memories of playing with dolls during her childhood. So when she came across an old abandoned farmhouse in a field in the Canadian province of Manitoba, her first instinct was to knock down the north-facing wall, replace it with plexiglass and transform the place into a human-sized version of a dollhouse.
Also known as "a house."
Benning spent 18 months painstakingly restoring the inside of the house to what it must have looked like in the '60s, when it was abandoned, complete with candy-colored walls and staged furniture dating from the period, while deliberately leaving the exterior in its decadent rotted-out condition to "show the passage of time" and "freak the holy hell out of stoners."[citation needed]
So from the highway, the house looks like just another one of the many abandoned farmhouses in the southwestern area of Manitoba near the Saskatchewan border; but step around to the back of the house and things take a sudden turn for the fabulous.
Heather Benning
It looks like it was raided by the cast of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
Benning explains that her family used to have an abandoned farm and as a girl she liked to "play inside the house and set it up and stage it and things like that." So let this be a lesson to all you overcautious parents out there: Sometimes allowing your kids to play around in unsafe environments can result in something far more impressive than broken bones or tetanus. But usually just the broken bones or tetanus.
#1. Extreme Snowball Fights
"Yukigassen" means "snowball battle" in Japanese, and that's exactly what it is: an adult version of a snowball fight played as a professional sport across Asia, Europe and more recently North America.
Violence and balls? This sport was made for America.
And as the fact that it has a Japanese name probably made you guess, it can get pretty hardcore.
During a yukigassen game, snowballs are "launched hard enough to knock you off your feet," which might be explained by the fact that some players are off-season baseball pros. When a match gets, um, heated up, you can see players ganging up on rival team members or knocking the protective helmets right off their heads with well-placed snow projectiles.
At least we hope that's his helmet there.
And since the game is played exclusively in cold weather, the snowballs tend to freeze like ice and turn "hard as billiard balls," getting to the point where you can stand on them and they don't break. If one of those things hits you in the head, it's gonna hurt like hell even if you're wearing a helmet. At times yukigassen stops resembling a good-natured sport that you play for fun and turns into, well, hockey.
Cold brings out the worst in people.
The rules of yukigassen are pretty simple: Each team is given 90 snowballs (created with the game's official snowball-making apparatus), and whoever reaches the other side's flag without being hit or manages to eliminate all the members of the opposing team is the winner. So basically you're hitting the other guys with snowballs while doing your best not to get hit -- yeah, this is pretty much an after-school snowball brawl with a fancier name.
Oh, and while you can wear protective gear, the official rules somewhat irresponsibly encourage players to dress lightly. The English translation of the Japanese yukigassen website warns: "Only your shelter and the snowballs in your hand will protect you from the snowballs thrown by your opponents ... Unknown battles and dramas are waiting for you on the snow-covered court!"

"To die by a snowball is the greatest honor."
Yukigassen was created in Japan but has over the past two decades spread into a worldwide phenomenon. Today, teams from all over the world participate in tournaments in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Australia, Holland, Canada and Alaska (by "all over the world" we meant "places where the yeti might live"), culminating with a world championship tournament in Japan. At the 22nd annual international yukigassen championship, 128 teams participated in the general section and 25,000 visitors showed up to witness the snow-fueled carnage.

I have a question regarding a remark in the book "Reflection Groups And Coxeter Groups" by James E. Humphreys (unfortunately the book is not to be found as a whole on google books or such).
In chapter 2 we encounter the definition of a crystallographic root system ($\varPhi$ crystallographic iff $\frac{2(a,b)}{(b,b)} \in \mathbb{Z}\forall a,b \in \varPhi$) and its associated Weyl group $W$ (the group generated by all reflections belonging to elements of $\varPhi$).
After the definition Humphreys follows up with some facts about crystallographic root systems. It is quite easy to see that in the case where $\varPhi$ is irreducible (i.e. the Coxeter graph is connected) there can occur at most two squared length of roots (the roots are then called long and short roots respectively) and $W$ acts transitively on the long and the short roots. After fixing a simple system $\Delta \subset \varPhi$ a partial ordering is introduced on $\varPhi$ via $a \leq b$ iff $b-a$ is a non-negative linear combination of $\Delta$ and the author writes that there is a unique greatest element of $\varPhi$ with respect to this ordering which is a long root.
I can show (using transitivity and a fundamental domain given earlier in the book) that there can be at most two greatest elements one being a long root and one a short root. However I am unable to see why the long root should be greater than the short root. Is there a proof for this fact (preferably one that does not use Lie theory) that does not use the classification and construction of all possible root systems (this is at the moment the only way I could find)?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Edit: As requested the definition of a simple system: A subset $\Delta \subset \varPhi$ of a rootsystem $\varPhi$ is called simple if $\Delta$ is a basis for the span of $\varPhi$ which satisfies the additional condition that any element of $\varPhi$ is either a non-negative or a non-positive linear combination of $\Delta$.

A crossed module is a pair of groups $C$ and $G$, an action of $G$ on $C$, and a homomorphism $\partial: C \to G$ that satisfy
- $\partial(g\cdot c)=g(\partial c)g^{-1}$, and
- $cc'c=(\partial c)\cdot c'$
Let $(X,A)$ be a pointed pair of spaces. Whitehead proved that, in the homotopy long exact sequence of the pair, $$ \pi_2(X,A) \stackrel{\partial}{\rightarrow} \pi_1(A) $$ is a crossed module. Simply put, my question is what does this give us, other than an extra bit of structure? Does knowing that this is true aid on calculation? Does it aid in distinguishing spaces? Does it give us something really cool that I haven't thought of? (Probably the answer to this one is "yes".)

I was wondering if it is right to say that underexposing or overexposing by playing with shutter speed or aperture or ISO is the same as dialing in -+EV values in manual exposure?
If you are using an automatic exposure mode (e.g. Program mode, Aperture or Shutter-priority) then dialing in +/- exposure compensation tells the metering system to adjust the exposure up or down. Otherwise it will always attempt to produce the same exposure for the same scene.
If you are in Manual mode, then you accomplish the same thing by simply adjusting ISO, shutter speed or aperture. The camera isn't automating the exposure, so you don't have to tell it to adjust - you have complete control, and the camera will ignore any EC setting.
So if you have the camera set to some combination of ISO, aperture and shutter speed, then dialling in EC will not have any effect on those settings in M mode - they will still apply and you'll get the same exposure (there is at least one exception - on some Nikons, if you have Auto ISO enabled then dialling in EC will adjust ISO, which will affect your exposure)
Dialling in EC may affect the exposure indicator in the viewfinder (on a Nikon anyway).
An example - let's say you're taking your sunset photos.
So EC can be used indirectly to help you maintain a constant amount of compensation, but it does not directly affect the exposure in Manual mode.
No, it is not the same thing, although as operator/photographer you may do exactly the same thing with your hands in most cases.
Exposure compensation is a way to compensate for mis-measurements of the build-in meter in order to achieve the expsure value that you want. It is typcially done to avoid under- or over-exposing. On the contraray, you do that to expose right.
Under- and overexposing are not really tasks, things you do. It is rather an evaluation of the result. An underexposed image turns out (partly) darker than you want it. You will compensate for that by either using the exposure compensation or adjusting the manual settings. That is up to you.
let me get it in simple words for you gentlemen ....
When you mean underexpose/overexpose you are exposing the sensor by physically controlling the light by adjusting aperture , shutter speed and ISO(in film days)
Using exposure compensation we are controlling the light digitally.(cannot be done in film days)


text: I think I can finally upload this tutorial on another awesomely made face in a porcelain or ceramic form. There is still some minor tweaks I'd like to add to the face to perfect it a little, but let me just get this done so that you can at least enjoy the drawing and tutorial aspect of the concept sketch. This tutorial is going to be on "how to draw a Mardi Gras Mask"", step by step. This sketch was inspired by the man's face that I submitted a couple days ago. I wanted to do something similar in a female form, so I went ahead and made a Mardi Gras Mask and tweaked it just a bit. Instead of keeping the face perfect, I added some imperfections like the cracks on the face, the red substance dripping from her lips, and her void eyes. I personally think it came out awesome, but then again I could be wrong. The man's face as well as this one is amongst my favorite tutorials I have done in a while as far as original concepts go. Anyways, have fun drawing a Mardi Gras mask, and let's see how creative you can be when adding your own personal tweaks. Have fun and enjoy!

As an introduction to Chapter 11, Robert explains his ultimate unfair advantage in life – printing his own money and creating infinite returns...
From Chapter 12, Robert gives a more detailed explanation on how your wealth is stolen, and why people struggle financially, in "the everyday cash heist".
We are coming closer to the date of what may be the most important event I have ever done. And every day, the economic news reinforces how critical it is for everyone to increase their financial literacy. As I reference in this video, there was an article in the Money section of the April 8th issue of USA TODAY, where former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan finally admitted that the US Federal Reserve is no longer in control.
Robert, along with friend, and author of the Rich Dad Advisor Book, Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver, Mike Maloney, explains why gold and silver are vital investments for today's economy.
Robert, along with friend, partner, and author of the Rich Dad Advisor Book, The ABC's of Real Estate Investing, Ken McElroy, explains the details of investing for infinite returns, and how he buys multi-million dollar properties, gets all of the money back, keeps the property, and pockets the cash.
Robert, along with friend Kelly Ritchie, explains printing your own money through a business, and how to create infinite returns using a franchise business model.
Robert, along with friend and advisor Andy Tanner, explains using paper assets and options to create infinite returns and legally print your own money.
As mentioned in Chapter 10, Robert gives an in-depth look at the eight integrities of the B-I Triangle, and their importance to you or your business.
From Chapter 9, Robert explains his question of "Why do mice have small balls?" and the selling principle behind it.
From Chapter 9, Robert provides an overview and insider's look into the creation of the CASHFLOW Game – and getting out of the rat race!

Often I'm out of training because of a lack of schools around where I'm living. But when I can, I train Brazilian jiujitsu. During those times of no combat sports training, what kind of strength, conditioning, mobility, and prehabilitation work should I do to stay ready for BJJ?
If BJJ is around, you should do BJJ. If grappling of another kind is around--wrestling, judo, SAMBO, et cetera--you should train that. But if nothing's available, you should do general physical preparation with a slight emphasis on BJJ's specific requirements.
General Strength
For instance, you'd want to do some kind of general strength (not bodybuilding!) training. This keeps you able to do the basic techniques of the art, and helps injury-proof you. A balanced program generally includes:
The pulling would be of slightly higher priority than the pushing, just because A) nearly all of us tend to hunch forward because of desk jobs and B) BJJ needs more pulling strength than pushing.
Specific Strength
That general strength work should probably include at least some neck strengthening, and a minor emphasis on grip strength. Bridging or a neck harness would be good for the former. Farmer's walks (as conditioning or a finisher), deadlift or pull-up holds, and towel pull-ups would be good for the latter. Like most athletics, one might want to do some power work, such as Olympic lifts or explosive jumps, as well.
These should not take precedence over whole-body strength. A workout might look something like this:
Notice that the sport-specific changes to a general training prescription are quite small: doing pull-ups but doing them with a focus on grip, doing power cleans sometimes, and adding a single accessory exercise. This still looks like a general program, and that's good.
Keeping flexible
You'll want to do some sort of mobility work, like yoga or stretching. Hip mobility is particularly important.
Staying in shape
You'll want to do some sort of conditioning. Being in shape for BJJ, like almost all sports, requires doing the sport itself. But the next best thing is to generally be in shape for efforts short and long. Distance running as well as HIIT are a good idea.

WACO (November 1, 2012)--A Waco man pleaded guilty Thursday to selling methamphetamine near a local middle school campus.
U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr., set sentencing for Michael Edward Salazar for Jan. 3, 2013.
Salazar turned 34 on Thursday.
Court documents presented at Salazar's plea hearing show that on Aug. 24, Waco police drug enforcement officers served a search warrant at a residence in south Waco.
As officers served the warrant they saw a man run from the back of the residence and observed the man throw down what officers believed to be a baggie of methamphetamine.
The man continued to run and jumped a fence where officers caught up with him.
After he was apprehended, officers found $500 in cash in his pockets.
During the search of the residence officers found a small amount of methamphetamine on the kitchen counter top right next to the back door that the man ran out of.
They also located scales and Baggies with the corners torn out of them, lying next to the scales.
Officers also seized a cell phone and observed drug related text messages on it.
The residence searched is within 1000 feet of University Middle School.

A few years ago when talking with some potential investors I heard on more than one occasion "Everybody already has BI" or "The market is saturated with BI products." Quite the contrary – even the few companies that have BI or Data Integration products are just scratching the surface of their potential usage. Many projects are only rolled out to a limited set of users, handcuffed by the outrageous price of most products on the market. And what about all of the other projects that never even started due to cost constraints? And what about the rest of the companies on the planet who could never even buy their first BI/DI products? And what about all of the applications that could desperately use some embedded BI/analytical capabilities but due to cost and technical constraints of the old guard BI companies could never get off these efforts of the ground.
Imagine how frustrating it can be when the needs and requirements to make your business run more efficiently and effectively are held hostage by a few large software vendors. Thus, the founding of Pentaho and the democratization of BI and DI. For the past 5+ years we've been blazing trails to innovate and deliver great products to the market at either zero or extremely low prices. We chose open source as the development and distribution vehicles to make this all possible. We spent the first few years doing nothing but building great product and communities around those products. We knew we had to establish high adoption rates and momentum in order to effectively compete against the old school vendors, and to get the word out to the world that a better alternative was now available in BI and DI.
How are we doing? Many say we've done a great job: we win awards every year, we get great write-ups from analysts and press, we have a large, active community (I'll post a separate blog on this subject), we have a large, happy customer base (our renewal rates are amongst the best in the industry), our company is growing at a record pace for any BI/DI company (our Q3 was 160% larger than any prior quarter in company history), our partner network is solid with some of the best minds/talent in the BI/DI market, our products are enterprise-class and easy to use (a combo that is not easy to achieve), and we continue to innovate (Agile BI, Cloud Offerings, Big Data Analytics), bringing great tech to the market to help solve problems for customers and communities. But we'll truly know that we've done a great job when we become the defacto standard for BI/DI – this is what we set out to achieve every day.
What does this have to do with the title "The Party is just starting"? The need for analytics/BI/DI is never-ending and vendors have really only scratched the surface over the last 30 years. Break down one of the biggest barriers to adoption – cost – and you can clearly see how it is just beginning. Companies were starving for this tech and now the gates are wide open for adoption. Couple that with the exponential explosion of data, a global market that is more tech savvy than ever and a worldwide financial crisis/recession over the last few years, and Voila! A full-featured, cost-effective alternative looks pretty attractive to customers.
Even the big vendors know how much value BI, DI and analytics bring to the market, as evidenced by all of the consolidation in our industry over the last 3+ years: ORCL buys Hyperion, IBM buys Cognos, IBM buys SPSS, IBM buys Netezza, SAP buys Business Objects, EMC buys Greenplum, etc. Most of these vendors are creating stacks and appliances, but the cost to get in the game is still prohibitive to the overwhelming majority of companies. This is just one reason why Pentaho will continue to grow at record pace…
We're winning for one simple reason: our customers, partners and communities are winning. So it is possible to have a party during a recession.

Georgetown Takes on a Golf School
The NCAA Tournament's greatest appeal is its buffet of David versus Goliath matchups, in which colleges of polar-opposite basketball pedigree and academic tradition meet on the hardwood floor.
This might be illustrated best in Friday's South region game between No. 2 Georgetown and No. 15 Florida Gulf Coast. Georgetown, of course, is one of America's most prestigious colleges in the classroom and on the court. In its 221-year history, the Washington, D.C., institution has produced both a U.S. president, Bill Clinton, and a basketball national title, in 1984.
Florida Gulf Coast wasn't even around then. The Fort Myers, Fla., university opened its doors in 1997 and is in just its sixth year of fielding a Division I hoops team. Though its history is short, it can claim Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale as one of its own.

Hey guys
I have a 7D + Sigma 8mm and was wondering what you thought would be a better option for vfx work (IBL), since im using the fisheye on a cropped sensor. The NN5 or the R1?
I've read suggestions to tilt up 5 degrees to cover the zenith better but obviously this means less coverage on the nadir.
I'm after something that is hopefully repeatable in PTGui and that I won't have to worry about too much when on set.
I really like the sound of both nodal ninja products, however i'm wondering what the least amount of pics I can take for time purposes. I wonder if 4 pics around at 5 degree up and then a 5th 90 degree down nadir?
