The chances of you being in a free-falling elevator are remarkably small, but this information might at least help alleviate any fear you have toward riding them.

You've heard all the cues, from keeping your chest up, to pushing your knees out. You're sure you're doing everything right, but it still feels all wrong. If this sounds anything like you at the gym, it might be because you're not using the right form for your body.
Science may not be the first thing you think of when you're filling your ice chest for a picnic, but looking at the physics can help you cool down a 12-pack of drinks to frosty perfection.
Is a treadmill workout really equivalent to running outdoors? Some runners say it's easier because the belt does some of the work for you, or that you always need to run at a 1% incline to simulate an outdoor effort. Neither of these are totally true.
The Raspberry Pi 2 is an awesome upgrade over previous models, but it also comes with a quirk. It turns out, if you try to take a picture of the Pi with a flash, it powers off. The folks over at Raspberry Pi explain exactly what's going on.

Winter has already launched its frontal assault and once again the roads prove a dangerous challenge. While the best thing to do when the roads freeze is to stay home and keep warm, you may find yourself forced to drive. If that's the case, it helps to know how the ice affects your vehicle.
Cooking is chemistry, and every time you set foot in your kitchen, you walk into a laboratory, packed with high-tech gear and stocked with supplies, made just for you. People say cooking is an art, and that's true, but the science of cooking is easier to grasp and repeat. Understanding it will make you a better cook…

Flannel Friday
Brandi Klassen of Marshfield holds her son Blake, 1, as he greets "Doc" between wagon rides in downtown Montpelier during Flannel Friday festivities in the Capital City.
The day after Thanksgiving is the traditional start to the holiday shopping season and a day many spend at the mall or big-box stores. In an effort to persuade shoppers to spend their money closer to home, merchants in downtown Montpelier have developed a local alternative to Black Friday and dubbed it Flannel Friday. Shoppers wearing the classic Vermont attire were treated to sale prices and specials at many stores. Above, Brandi Klassen, of Marshfield, holds her son Blake, 1, as he greets Doc between free wagon rides. Left, employees and customers, many clad in flannel, watch as Myra O'Neill, of Somerville, Mass., spins the Wheel of Deals at Onion River Sports.

About Miss Nique
Be the first to review Miss Nique.
Booking Info
- Fee: $200 and up
One of the hottest upcoming models to surface goes by the name Of Miss Nique, she hails from the beautiful Miami, Florida with Afro Cuban as her ethnic background. People always assume she is lying because she is too dark or she doesn't speak Spanish or doesn't fit the Cuban norms. But nevertheless the historical facts speak for itself. But simple things like that set the 5'7 mocha complexion model apart from many of the others. She embraces her culture in everything she does but simply stated she embraces being different.
With the stats of and petite brick house(34-24-40) and gorgeous distinct facial features she can definitely embrace the commercial side of modeling while still making air stop in the urban community that's just how versatile her look is. She is working on a degree in Criminal Justice and also wants to get and second degree in Business Administrations. In her spare time she loves to read autobiographies or listen to various genres of music from country to R and B. Currently her main interest is her modeling career and pushing herself as a future well known brand. Her vision is to be a C.E.O and she is sitting in the black chair at the head of the table.
She has always been the quiet girl with the book smarts with hardly any effort but when she was nineteen an individual came into life and took sudden interest in her and her look and a friendship formed, with in this friendship you had an upcoming photographer who saw something that was there in this undiscovered life size canvas. For several years she just took pictures for fun with this friend than slowly with assurance from him and building interest from outsiders and growing confidence within she entered the year 2010 with the passion and aspiration to become the next it girl. With that determination and undeniable spark she will indeed have people constantly saying her name. Her plans is to cross that invisible line with in the modeling business that secretly states that you can't be on that magazine with those features or you can't cross over mainstream because people won't take you serious enough.
She embodies strength she is ready for the future embarks growing up with two brothers she was and still is a tomboy in heels and lets everyone know that. She has already been featured:

Photo Gallery: Space shuttle passes over La Cañada High School
As the space shuttle Endeavor flew by the Hollywood sign around 12:10 p.m., onlookers at the Griffith Observatory -- some of whom had been waiting since 6 a.m. -- hooped and hollered. "That's the money shot," said Larry Unser in from St. Louis to visit his son in L.A. "I almost hate taking (pictures) because then you miss it."

Is it possible to get the post connector name of a specific post ID?
As an example, I have 2 post connectors:
- Attachements
- Credits
And 3 posts:
- Instructions (uses "Attachements" post connector)
- Movie (use "Credits" post connector)
- About (don't use any post connector)
I want to be able to query which is the connector the post is using, to then query the right field groups.
Something like:
get_post_connector($instructionsID); // outputs "Attachements"
get_post_connector($movieID); // outputs "Credits"
get_post_connector($aboutID); // outputs NULL
And anyway, thank you VERY much for this life-saving plugin!

I'm creating a department intranet site using WordPress. One of the requirements is to include a library of department files. I would like to create a dynamic list (maybe in table format?) so that when a user clicks on a file category, the list of related files will display (without having to link to a child page).
As it stands the soon-to-be-old site has approx three or four click-throughs before the user can actually download the desired file. I want to reduce the number of clicks by having a dynamic list, but I have no clue how to do this.
any help would be very much appreciated.

Combination of Different Perceptual Models with Different Audio Transform Coding Schemes:Implementation and Evaluation
In this paper four combinations of perceptual models and transform coding systems are implemented and compared. The first of the two perceptual models is based on a DFT with a uniform frequency resolution. The second model uses IIR filters designed in accordance with the temporal/spectral resolution of the auditory system. Both of the two transform coding systems use a uniform spectral decomposition (MDCT). While in the first system the quantizers are directly controlled by the perceptual model, the second system uses a pre- and post-filter with frequency warping for shaping the quantization noise with a temporal/spectral resolution more adapted to the auditory system. Implementation details are given and results of subjective tests are presented.

I am looking to build a user reviews site with an idea similar to xblaratings.com, only for a different platform.
Basically, I want to be able to add the item to be reviewed, along with a screenshot and a short description, and then from there users should be able to leave their written reviews (with a score) for the product.
That site I mentioned above was done in Joomla, is there something similar to this in wordpress, or would I need to build it from scratch?

Turkey Things to Do Tips by al2401

Celsus Library - Ephesus
Ephesus; a city of importance in both the Pagan and Christian worlds. It is listed in importance only after Athens and Jerusalem. Once a centre for the worhip of Artemis, it was converted to Christianity by the preaching of St Paul and St John. In the middle ages it was still an important town due to the position of its port.
I found Ephesus impressive not only for the well preserved ruins of a once great city but for the significance of walking in the steps of St Paul for a practising Christian.
Address: Ephesus
Pillar tombs - Xanthos
Xanthos was the name of a city in ancient Lycia and was the centre of culture and commerce for the Lycians and in turn for the Persians, Macedonians, Greeks and Romans.
It is probably best known for the mass suicide of its citizens after the army was defeated by the Persians. The Lycian army destroyed their acropolis, then killed their wives, children and slaves before engaging in an impossible battle with the mightier Persains troops.
The tragedy was later repeated against the Romans in 42 BC.
The sarcophagi on pillars are unique to this area. The Xanthian Obelisk, covered by the longest writing in the Lycian script, has been of importance in the interpretation of the Lycian language.
The site has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.
Website: http://www.lycianturkey.com/lycian_sites/xanthos.htm
Simena and Fortress
The history of this village goes back to 4th century BC. It was once a city of Lycia - there is actually a sarcophagus out in the bay and a necropolis on the hill. There are the ruins of a medieval fortress on the top of a hill behind the town. Within these ruins can be found the remains of an ancient temple. There is also a small Lycian theatre.
Simena is situated on a beautiful and safe natural harbour and is best approached by boat from Ucagiz (where the yacht harbour is situated). You can spend hours wandering the twisting streets or climb to the top of the fortress (care must be taken as you reach the top). The views are spectacular - even on a rainy day! A trip to Kekova is also warranted.
The area is best seen as a day trip from Kas.
Simena is the name for the ancient town. The modern name is Kalek�y but it is commonly referred to as Simena.
Address: Ucagaiz, Kas
Directions: You can drive overland from Demre Cayagzi or hire a boat from Kas or Ucagiz.
Website: http://www.lycianturkey.com/lycian_sites/kekova_simena.htm
Kekova Island
Kekova Island is across the bay from Simena and Ucagiz. Here you can see the sunken ruins of a residential part of old Simena which was submerged by an earthquake in the 2nd century.
These are best seen as part of a boat trip around the bay - either a day trip or or a longer stay. Boats can be rented from Kas, Ucagiz or Simena.
Address: Kekova via Simena
Website: http://www.lycianturkey.com/lycian_sites/kekova_simena.htm
Kas Harbour
Kas is a lovely town with beautiful bays and inlets. The houses are painted white and have colourful flowers such as Bougainvillea hanging from their balconies which contrast well with the blue of the sea. Being in the centre of the ancient Lyicia there are Lycian sarcophagi in the middle of the streets.
The Greek island of Megisti is only 4 miles away.
Kas is a great place to make your base for visits to Myra, Kekova, Simena and Ucagiz.
Address: Kas
This is not a 'Things to do' but more of an explanation of a thing that you see. The following information was sent to me by VT member 'Sirvictor' to contribute to Gallipoli page. I thought it deserved a page of its own.
If you enter the Strait of Dardanelles from Aegean Sea you will see on the right the Hills of Canakkale and on the left the Gallipoli Peninsula.
On the Hills of Canakkale you will notice a warning in capital letters coloured with white chalk " Halt Traveller!" This warns all people who desire to enter the Dardanelles without permission.
In March 18th 1915 British and French tried to enter the Dardanelles without permission and paid their desire with blood and heavy losses.
After that bloody fight a Turkish poet called Necmettin Halil Onan wrote the following poem. The poem is translated into English by Tanwir Wasti. published by the March 18th University Magazine 2003
To a Traveller
Stop wayfarer! Unbeknownst to you this ground
You come and tread on, is where an epoch lies;
Bend down and lend your ear, for this silent mound
Is the place where the heart of a nation sighs
To the left of this deserted shadeless lane
The Anatolian slope now observe you well;
For liberty and honor, it is, in pain,
Where wounded Mehmet laid down his and fell
This very mound, when violently shook the land,
When the last bit of earth passed from hand to hand,
And when Mehmet drowned the enemy in flood,
Is the spot where he added his own pure blood.
Think, the consecrated blood and flesh and bone
That make up this mould, is where a whole nation,
After a harsh and pitiless war, alone,
Tasted the joy of freedom with elation.
Address: Canakkale
Ballooning over Goreme
The countryside around Goreme is fascinating and even more so when seen from the high in the air or down among the weird shapes. Dawn is always the best time for ballooning and the 'firing up' of the burner is more spectacular in the half light.
There are many companies offering flights - with or without breakfast, champagne or other wise but the view is the same for all. I went up with Kapadokia Balloons who give excellent service. We only had our celebratory breakfast when we had all helped to deflate and store the balloon - which is an experience in itself.
Address: Goreme

Yerebatan Cistern
During the Byzantine era there were not enough sources of water inside the city walls. Water from sources in the forests of Belgrade was directed into some sixty cisterns built in Istanbul. The Yerebatan Cistern is the biggest of these, holding about 80 megalitres of water which was delivered through the Valens Aquaduct.
It was used until the 16th century and restored in the mid 19th century. The restoration work was completed in 1987 and the cistern was opened to the public. At the back of the cistern there are two Medusa heads used as bases to columns. One is upside down, the other sideways.
Scenes from the James Bond movie 'From Russia with Love' were filmed here.
Address: Sultanahmet, Istanbul
Directions: Between the Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet Mosque at the the end of the Hippodrome
Yerebatan Caddesi No: 13, Sultanahmet
Website: http://www.yerebatan.com
Hagia Sophia from Sultanahmet Park
The present Hagia Sophia is built on the site of a great church built by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine in 360 AD. It was destroyed by fire in 404 AD and a stronger building was opened in 416 AD. This building was destroyed by anti-imperial rebels in 532 and the present structure was completed in 537.
Mosaics of religious scenes and people were removed in the Iconoclastic Era (726 AD) and replaced with simple cross shapes. When this era ended in 843 Hagia Sophia was redecorated with frescoes and mosaics, many with golden tiles, only for them to be covered over with lime when the building became a mosque in the 1450's. This actually preserved the works of art until they were restored by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and the building opened as a museum in 1935.
An amazing building - definitely a must see.
Address: Sultanahmet, Istanbul
Website: http://www.hagiasophia.com/
3rd Courtyard - Topkapi Palace
Topkapi Palace was the administration centre of the Ottoman Empire for nearly 400 years. It was constructed by the Sultan Fatih Sultan Mehmet between 1475-1478 and was enlarged and enriched by successive Sultans until it was abandoned in the 19th century. It is now a museum.
As well as the architecture and decoration there are many museum sections - the Harem (you need a separate ticket), Kitchen and Porcelain collection, the Exhibition of Armory, the Imperial Treasury and the Costume Display are but a few.
There are extensive gardens in which to wander and there are great views across the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn. There is a cafe and book/gift shop.
It is open every day except Tuesday from 9am - 5pm (tickets close 4pm) and the Harem from 9am - 4pm (tickets close 3.30pm)
Address: Istanbul - Old City
Directions: It is the big palace behind Hagia Sophia.

The room is small and has a view to a brick wall. The bathroom is kelly, but it is all clean. However there isn't enough space to place two suitcases on the floor.
For the rest it is what you may expect. No more, no less.

Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN PLUS Carlton Plaza Hotel Victoria
Wouldn't go back
We will not book this hotel again. Our room was dirty, had an unpleasant odor,stains on the carpet and bedspread, and when we awakened in the morning, found a strange looking, small bug in bed with us. We decided to cancel our second night, and went to another hotel,The Shamrock, which was very nice and very clean. When we checked out of the Carlton Plaza, we reported the bug to the desk clerk .He insinuated that we were not telling the truth, and didn't even apologize !Maybe we had an unusually poor room and bad luck, as we chose this hotel from others' good ratings.
We loved the Carlton Plaza!
My mother and I stayed at the Carlton Plaza 07 - 11 Dec 2006. As two little old ladies traveling together, we loved it!
The entire staff is very helpful and pleasant. They recommended restaurants and interesting sights around Victoria, and even helped me find a dentist for an emergency visit.
Upon check in, there was a mix up with our reservation, so they upgraded our room to a suite. We had a lovely smoke-free room with two queen beds, a kitchenette and sitting area. The room was clean and well-stocked with lots of towels. The kitchenette contained the basics, which we did not use. We did use valet parking, and our car was always brought around promptly.
We ate breakfast at De Dutch, the reasonably good and reasonably priced in-house restaurant.
The Carlton Plaza is within walking distance to all of downtown. The city bus system appeared to be extensive, although we chose to walk or drive our car when leaving downtown.
Great price, great beds, great location!
This hotel exceeded my expectations and made the trip to Victoria, BC a pleasant one. We were lucky enough to get a corner room (king bed, kitchenette, couch) for $110 US. It was amazing! The room was nicely decorated, with multiple pillows on the beds to suit our preferences. They have valet parking which is a must in Victoria and we could have the car anytime we wanted. The Carlton Plaza has a great location on Johnson street about a 10 minute stroll from the Empress Hotel with many shops (Starbucks, Gap) along the way. There is a great inexpensive pizza place just around the corner. There is also a night club on one of the corners of the hotel. Great price, great beds, great location!
Good Location, clean and reasonable
We stayed for two nights at this hotel and we were pleased to be upgraded to a non-smoking suite because they ran out of non-smoking rooms. We booked it because it was the closest hotel to the train station. In fact it was close to everything we wanted to get to and we walked everywhere. The front desk staff were great. We did not try the restaurant. There is no pool.
Nice hotel in convenient location
I booked this hotel on the phone and paid around $85/nt which I thought a fair price for early season.
Location is near the heart of things downtown. Like any major North American city Victoria has its share of assorted nutcases, fruitcakes and hobos wandering the streets at all hours, quite a few hang out on Douglas round the corner. None appeared threatening or aggressive compared to the downtown USA variety. The area is safe and secure but may be noisy at night due to the proximity of downtown pubs and nightlife (hint: closing the window works well).
After a tiring day getting there, it was welcome to find a nice room, 2 queen beds, free broadband internet (I needed to get online after being out of reach, the hotel's service had been disabled initially, however the front desk staff phoned Tech Support and got me online swiftly), free local calls, free tea/coffee, free newspaper. Reasonable price laundry service was done same day (Saturday) with no problems. Drinks machine and ice on same floor. Great view from the 6th floor. Cleanliness not an issue at all, bathroom was spotless (I opened up the combined liquid soap/shampoo/conditioner dispenser unit and took a peek inside, one of the tanks had a line around the top, that's how hard I had to look...). Comfortable bed.
Valet parking was fine, 10-20min wait, believe in peak season there's a payment. As a Brit, I always thought the idea of valet parkng was that the car got cleaned ie "valeted" while you're in the hotel, no such luck here or anywhere else I've been in US/Canada...)
Didn't have breakast but looked a better deal than at many similar standard hotels.
The small quibbles like the visible laundry basket and a slightly old fashioned colour scheme should not people off, overall this hotel is great value for money and has some friendly front desk/bell staff.
Big disappointment
(#1) The picture one sees online is deceiving. It leads one to believe the hotel is rather grand and that the entrance is on a corner..it is neither; It is mid-block of a mediocre street with used bookstores, empty storefronts, and a drag-show caberet. (#2) The room was not ready at 3pm (check-in time) and we were sent away. The staff was mediocre, at best. (#3) The first room to which we were sent (#4) at 6pm! when rooms were finally ready, (#5)had a strong odor, a filthy bathroom floor and coffee still in the pot from a former guest. Yuck. I asked for another room, and (#6) after 1/2 hour the desk called that I could come downstairs and get a key to another room. I (correctly) assumed that we were to move ourselves! (#7) Right, no one came upstairs to deliver a key or move our luggage. I contacted the front desk manager, who kindly gave us breakfast in the overpriced pancake restaurant in the hotel to accomodate us for our delay and the necessary room change. (#8) The maid staff piles used towels and sheets in a bin in the hallways near the elevator, where it sits until the following day when it is taken to the laundry room and a new pile accumulates thoughout the morning. Not particularly pleasing to see..exposed used dirty laundry 24 hrs a day. (#9) There are many homeless people and beggers in the vicinity of the hotel. (#10) I made the error of booking this through Expedia and pre-paid, so I was stuck at this place. Don't make that mistake!
Great location fantastic breakfast
We stayed here in March 2004 found the location ideal for walking to shopping and site seeing attractions. Wonderful breakfast included in the price. Would stay again Also available comfortable suites
A good value
I stayed at the Carlton Plaza in February 2000. I found no faults with cleanliness or service. The location allows you to walk to many attractions - the harbour, museum, crystal gardens, parliament. The only problem we had was the noise from the patrons exiting the strip club (almost right next door) For a comfortable, reasonably priced hotel in Victoria, The Carlton Plaza has my vote
Friendly Staff
I had a wonderful stay in Victoria, BC this past week. We found the Carlton Plaza to be the highlight of our trip. The staff were extremely helpful and remembered things and asked how your dinner was at ... I have never stayed at a place where this happenned, and was very impressed.
Good location, exceptional staff
We stayed for 3 nights here in January. The location is good. It is about a 5 min walk to the inner harbour, 45 seconds from Market Square. Unfortunatly, it is located next to a few clubs and busy Broad street. We had a room with kitchen, and a great view of the city. The noise at night was intollerable, however. traffic noise, yelling, fighting, etc.
We informed the desk staff of this and they upgraded (for free) us to a room on the 7th floor, facing away from the street. there was no kitchen, but it did have an enclosed deck on the top of the building! The staff was extremly friendly and informative.
In summary, a clean, secure hotel. Good location. Spectacular staff.

What if you knew that 75% of your classmates owned a pet. How could you convert this number to a fraction or a decimal? After completing this Concept, you'll be able to switch back and forth between percents, fractions, and decimals.

CK-12 Foundation: 0313S Percentages (H264)
Khan Academy: Taking Percentages
A percent is simply a ratio with a base unit of 100. When we write a ratio as a fraction, the percentage we want to represent is the numerator, and the denominator is 100. For example, 43% is another way of writing \begin{align*}\frac{43}{100}\end{align*}. \begin{align*}\frac{43}{1000}\end{align*}, on the other hand, is equal to \begin{align*}\frac{4.3}{100}\end{align*}, so it would be equivalent to 4.3%. \begin{align*}\frac{2}{5}\end{align*} is equal to \begin{align*}\frac{40}{100}\end{align*}, or 40%. To convert any fraction to a percent, just convert it to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100, and then take the numerator as your percent value.
To convert a percent to a decimal, just move the decimal point two spaces to the right:
\begin{align*} 67\% &= 0.67\\ 0.2\% &= 0.002\\ 150\% &= 1.5\end{align*}
And to convert a decimal to a percent, just move the decimal point two spaces to the left:
\begin{align*} 2.3 &= 230\%\\ 0.97 &= 97\%\\ 0.00002 &= 0.002\%\end{align*}
Finding and Converting Percentages
Before we work with percentages, we need to know how to convert between percentages, decimals and fractions.
Converting percentages to fractions is the easiest. The word "percent" simply means "per 100"—so, for example, 55% means 55 per 100, or \begin{align*}\frac{55}{100}\end{align*}. This fraction can then be simplified to \begin{align*}\frac{11}{20}\end{align*}.
Example A
Convert 32.5% to a fraction.
32.5% is equal to 32.5 per 100, or \begin{align*}\frac{32.5}{100}\end{align*}. To reduce this fraction, we first need to multiply it by \begin{align*}\frac{10}{10}\end{align*} to get rid of the decimal point. \begin{align*}\frac{325}{1000}\end{align*} then reduces to \begin{align*}\frac{13}{40}\end{align*}.
Converting fractions to percentages can be a little harder. To convert a fraction directly to a percentage, you need to express it as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
Example B
Convert \begin{align*}\frac{7}{8}\end{align*} to a percent.
To get the denominator of this fraction equal to 100, we have to multiply it by 12.5. Multiplying the numerator by 12.5 also, we get \begin{align*}\frac{87.5}{100}\end{align*}, which is equivalent to 87.5%.
But what about a fraction like \begin{align*}\frac{1}{6}\end{align*}, where there's no convenient number to multiply the denominator by to get 100? In a case like this, it's easier to do the division problem suggested by the fraction in order to convert the fraction to a decimal, and then convert the decimal to a percent. 1 divided by 6 works out to 0.166666.... Moving the decimal two spaces to the right tells us that this is equivalent to about 16.7%.
Why can we convert from decimals to percents just by moving the decimal point? Because of what decimal places represent. 0.1 is another way of representing one tenth, and 0.01 is equal to one hundredth—and one hundredth is one percent. By the same logic, 0.02 is 2 percent, 0.35 is 35 percent, and so on.
Example C
Convert 2.64 to a percent.
To convert to a percent, simply move the decimal two places to the right. \begin{align*}2.64 = 264\%\end{align*}.
Does a percentage greater than 100 even make sense? Sure it does—percentages greater than 100 come up in real life all the time. For example, a business that made 10 million dollars last year and 13 million dollars this year would have made 130% as much money this year as it did last year.
The only situation where a percentage greater than 100 doesn't make sense is when you're talking about dividing up something that you only have a fixed amount of—for example, if you took a survey and found that 56% of the respondents gave one answer and 72% gave another answer (for a total of 128%), you'd know something went wrong with your math somewhere, because there's no way you could have gotten answers from more than 100% of the people you surveyed.
Converting percentages to decimals is just as easy as converting decimals to percentages—simply move the decimal to the left instead of to the right.
Example D
Convert 58% to a decimal.
The decimal point here is invisible—it's right after the 8. So moving it to the left two places gives us 0.58.
It can be hard to remember which way to move the decimal point when converting from decimals to percents or vice versa. One way to check if you're moving it the right way is to check whether your answer is a bigger or smaller number than you started out with. If you're converting from percents to decimals, you should end up with a smaller number—just think of how a number like 50 percent, where 50 is greater than 1, represents a fraction like \begin{align*}\frac{1}{2}\end{align*} (or 0.50 in decimal form), where \begin{align*}\frac{1}{2}\end{align*} is less than 1. Conversely, if you're converting from decimals to percents, you should end up with a bigger number.
One way you might remember this is by remembering that a percent sign is bigger than a decimal point—so percents should be bigger numbers than decimals.
Watch this video for help with the Examples above.
Guided Practice
a) Convert 3.4 to a percent.
b) Convert \begin{align*}\frac{2}{7}\end{align*} to a percent.
a) If you move the decimal point to the left, you get 0.034%. That's a smaller number than you started out with, but you're moving from decimals to percents, so you want the number to get bigger, not smaller. Move it to the right instead to get 340%.
b) \begin{align*}\frac{2}{7}\end{align*} doesn't convert easily unless you change it to a decimal first. 2 divided by 7 is approximately 0.285714..., and moving the decimal and rounding gives us 28.6%.

VILSECK, Germany -- The Integrated Honors 9 Language Arts / World History classes presented their yearlong research projects to fellow students and parents in the Vilseck High School Multipurpose Room, May 30.
This yearlong project required students to study a civilization from ancient history, including important cities, historical highlights, various advancements arts, science and technology, as well as other interesting information.
"The students worked really hard all year and became experts on their subjects," said Brian Swenty, World History teacher. "Having to present their body of work in front of the parents, teachers and fellow students really allowed them to celebrate their achievements and share their experience."
Throughout the year, students created various products in the form of electronic, written and physical artifacts. They worked on such projects as a time travel journal, an essay, a poem and food preparation.
Freshman Zack Williams noted that the project "was challenging but rewarding at the end."
For the event, students set up the Time Traveler Fest as a sort of living museum, which included food and costumes, their work from throughout the year, not to mention their interactions with attendees and artifacts that were part of their presentation.
According to one parent, the event was fun and educational. She said it was evident the students worked really hard on their projects.

Critical Read
What: A Preliminary Examination of Insider Threat Programs in the U.S. Private Sector, from the Intelligence and National Security Alliance
Why: The intelligence community has been exploring ways to reduce access to sensitive information, even since before Edward Snowden dished on the National Security Agency's secret surveillance and cryptography programs to reporters. A presidential memorandum from November 2012 tasked government agencies with implementing minimum standards for threat detection, including audits of user activity on government networks, background checks and other personnel security evaluations for government employees and contractors, as well as having threat monitors trained in counterintelligence and security.
"Now there's been a lot of focus on insider threat detection, which we were into, but probably not with the emphasis and energy we are now," said Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who is charged with co-chairing the administration's Insider Threat Task Force.
The contracting community is taking a look at its own policies. The Intelligence and National Security Alliance released a well-timed initial look at insider threat policies at its first-ever Intelligence Community Summit on Sept. 12. The report looks at how companies are identifying fraud, intellectual property theft, IT sabotage and espionage.
Private-sector threat detection programs are typically focused on monitoring computer network activity, not probing the lives of the people behind that activity. An effective program "must identify psychosocial events – anomalous, suspicious, or concerning nontechnical behaviors," according to the report. Threat detection programs should be integrated among company departments, including legal, human resources, security and executive management.
Companies that answered INSA's survey were deliberately vague on some of the details of their threat mitigation programs to avoid insulting their employees, attracting attention from regulators and giving a competitive advantage to business rivals. The report found that more longstanding, formal insider threat detection programs include identifying "at risk" employees through behavioral observation or from reports to human resources from colleagues. Only one organization of the 13 surveyed had a threat-prevention strategy. This relied on technical deterrents, such as multiple layers of security to control access to networks, bans on printing or downloading email, and not adopting a bring-your-own-device policy.
Verbatim: "Insider threat mitigation should be integrated into an enterprise risk management process. This process should identify critical assets, including systems, services, programs, and information that, if compromised, would cause harm to the organization, people, national security, or others."

Pryor Stroud: Fearless, corrosive, and smoking with Jeff Beck's singularly expressive flamethrower-riffs, "Live In The Dark" is taken from the guitar icon's LP Loud Hailer, his first in six years. The track conscripts vocalist Rosie Bones for its lyric, but, throughout, she seems to be grappling head-to-head with the wild electricity of Beck's guitar. The tension this creates is a spectacle to behold: here, there is not one singer but two, a singer of flesh and blood and a singer of crackling feedback-figures. It may not be sonically inventive or lyrically deft, but its unadulterated, pyrokinetic take on rock is refreshing in a time when genre-bending has become something of a prerequisite for new artists.

Minor Soul's "One Chance" is sheet-smooth bedroom pop, acoustic guitars and plinking synths soaring under the vocals. It's of a fairly polarizing genre, but the genre is pristine when done right, and "One Chance" is a good example of what happens when every facet gleams. Its hopeful, upward-facing ethos is a pleasant reminder that music doesn't have to be all doom and gloom, a sugar-intensive shot of positivity in a style best known for that kind of purity.
Cheshires' draw is the way they put their own spins on tried-and-true classic rock, tweaking psychedelic and rootsy music into their own versions. "Love This Feelin'" skews closer to the former, rambling psych dustiness taking center stage. Guitars wail, voice meanders, and the song ambles along the path of synth-heavy psychedelic goodness. It's a style that's been done a lot, but it's also one that still hasn't gotten old, and "Love This Feelin'" is proof enough of that.
Steve Horowitz: Very nicely done! The Strokes take a low key approach to the music, and it pays off handsomely. The guitars shine through the haze, the drummer keeps the beat lively and the vocals are unpretentiously delivered with a smile. The band's musical chops turn what could be an ordinary song into something special. The video has some fun moments as it plays with the conventions of heist films and greedy Wall Street pigs, but the "Threat of Joy" offers its own rewards. [9/10]

Wonderful conversion story. Note that Jackson felt welcomed and accepted in multiple congregations but was apparently not pressured or compelled to move forward toward baptism before he was ready to do so. The narrative describing Jackson's conversion is well done, but Jackson's words are far more moving. I hope none are dissuaded by those who see only football in the story. Jackson's life is about far more than football.

article really blindsided me. not what i expected to read
i don't think i have many talents, but one i believe is mine is to read an honest statement and believe honest and truthful words. thank for awakening me again
continuous conversion. i've read it from a man who lives it. i believe it but i'm not so good at practicing it. i know what i'm supposed to do, but i'm lazy: read the scriptures, pray and do and be where i am supposed to. thanks for telling me again

Great story. Too bad his life lessons didn't sink in with Johnny Football.
Oh well.
C.A. reader, I assume you mean the Houston Cougars? That would be cool, to have two of Jackson's schools playing for the national championship. :-)

@Lew Scannon. Like he said in the article some people move towards God at a sprint, some at a crawl. Some even face away from God for a time. But perhaps "Johnny Football" will one day settle down and remember some of the lessons that Bro Jackson taught him without even realizing it.

Those who coach youth, even adults need to be role models. Sport coaches should
be those who emphasize those things spoke of in this article. Wouldn't
sport be so much better if all coaches thought this way, or close to it?
"I get to lead boys and teach them how to be men. Now I know what I was sent here for," Jackson said. "I have a strong presence with some of the hardest young men, and I feel I was sent here to help those young men find their way in life and understand what the meaning of this life is."
Then he backs up this statement by serving in his church and community. Great example for all coaches and future coaches alike.

Dear Brother Jackson,
Your story has lifted me up and inspired me. I know that sweet feeling that you described as you entered the meeting houses and when the missionaries came to your door. You see, my conversion story is a long one. It is one that the missionaries used to teach others with and one, that when I shared it in Sacrament, I had many people, including Stake Presidents, ask me to write down for them, and I saw them sharing it. You see, I came to earth with memories of living in Heaven. I remember Heavenly Father, and I remember Jesus Christ. I even knew that I had a Heavenly Mother before the missionaries told me. That feeling that you feel is one that comes from Heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost, and it fills every space in Heaven, along with every place on Earth that welcomes all three of Them. If you allow it, it can chase away all of the bad things in your life. Every time that you have a negative thought, think three positive ones, and evil will flee. Heavenly Father told me that.

I would love to have Bro. Jackson come to BYU to replace a retiring Jay Olmer.
However I love Bro. Jackson serving young men in the SEC just as much. Besides
he monetarily he probably makes as much as Bronco Mendenhall does.
Either way I loved his sensitivity to the spirit. Some people wouldn't recognize the spirit if it was dumped in their lap from a dump truck.

Hello all,
I had used an AppWizard of a hosting provider to install my WordPress site at beta.mysite.com.
Then I created my pages and then, I did a silly thing, because I simply changed in the WP Admin Settings the websites URL to http://www.mysite.com.
This resulted in an error message and now I can't log into the WordPress admin area anymore.
What file do I need to change either get access to the http://www.mysite.com admin area or alternatively to change back the root directory to bet.mysite.com again.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I am so tired of receiving mail and phone messages several times a week -- and it is not even close to election time. I have written to him several times asking that my name be removed from his mailing and calling lists. This has been to no avail. The mail and calls keep coming. My point is that if he cannot follow the wishes of a constituent on this request, he certainly will not follow what constituents want of him on major issues!
When I receive something with his name on it, I immediately put it in the shredder. However, I did open a letter recently. I quote: "I am a fierce advocate in Washington for cutting taxes and for cutting federal spending. I want to get rid of this wasteful nonsense in Congress." I believe he could begin by stopping useless mailings and phone calls. I don't even know his platform, but I can assure him that I will not vote for him, based on my feelings about those annoying messages and his refusal to remove my name from his contact lists.

This was good, and really easy too! I was surprised how easy this was to fix. My family raved over it. I'm pretty much a novice cook and was worried this would be too complicated for me, but it wasn't at all. We'll be making this again!
My wife and I enjoyed this recipe so much, we made it for my family reunion this July 4th and it was a real hit. We generally make half with spinache and half with chicken. I like to cook the chicken with the oregano, parsley, and basil in addition to mixing the spices with the cheese. The spinache turned out great, just add as many leaves to the cheese mix as possible and still retain the cheese consistancy.

This City Is Bananas
Fruit vendor MD Ali can hardly keep up with the demand for bananas. As soon as he frees a bunch from its plastic wrapper, crazed commuters at the corner of 35th and Sixth grab for his 35-cent specials. Most buy more than one—Mr. Ali offers a bulk discount—and some admit to scarfing three a day. Alexis Hanczaryk, who was whisking a bunch to her office in the Fashion District, says she stops for bananas several times a week because she needs the potassium: "I'm a runner."
Aren't we all. Some say New York runs on ambition or greed. Wrong! The Big Apple runs on bananas. Not only are bananas half the price of rival fruits, and half the mess (assuming you eat the skin), they're the only reliable characters in the produce section. Buying a peach these days is a game of Russian roulette: You don't know if you'll bite into paradise or your worst nightmare. But the banana never lies.
No wonder New Yorkers down an estimated 600 million bananas a year. Midtown, especially, bristles with more bananas than an equatorial plantation. In an effort to lure office workers, even the doughnut-cart guy and the Duane Reade sell bananas. The curbside produce vendors, who occupy just about every block, say they sell 400 bananas a day.
If you ate a few bananas last week, you probably enjoyed the fruits of Top Banana, one of the city's dozen-odd banana wholesalers. Every morning before dawn, trucks from supermarkets, green grocers and restaurants pull up to the Top Banana dock at the Terminal Market in Hunts Point and place their orders at the outfit's yellow booth. Operations Manager Darek Kuras maintains an elaborate records system: He staples each cash payment to the order and puts it in his pocket. Altogether, Top Banana sells nearly two million bananas a week. Mr. Kuras says he can help himself to free bananas, but he seldom indulges: "I can't look at them anymore."
Top Banana's top banana, Joe Palumbo, who employs a wife and two kids in his 28-man operation, says he still enjoys bananas, as do his Pomeranian and two golden retrievers. "Dogs love bananas," he says. His desk is adorned with stuffed bananas and monkeys, and his grand conference table is topped with a plastic banana centerpiece.
But the banana business is no bowl of cherries. When Mr. Palumbo's fruit arrives off the boat from Costa Rica, it's a deep shade of green. He maintains 18 ripening rooms—cooled to about 60 degrees—where cartons of bananas stacked 20 feet high are bathed in ethylene gas to hasten their maturity. Mr. Palumbo tries to provide bananas that meet retailer preference—a semigreen stage 3 or 4, in industry parlance—but attempts to predict demand are fruitless. When you've got green bananas, everyone wants them ripe. And when you've got ripe bananas, "Everyone wants 'em green," he says.
And forget the big profits that come with high-end produce. Whole Foods buyer Rich Thorpe, who sources all kinds of exotic varieties, says bananas are generally cheap because they're the ultimate commodity fruit. Most supermarkets carry just one kind—the ubiquitous Cavendish—and there's little to distinguish one from the next.
Thanks to high fuel rates, wholesale banana prices are relatively high this summer: 45 cents a pound. But every retailer has its own banana strategy. The street vendors, who pay about 50 cents a pound for bananas delivered curbside, earn roughly 15 cents' profit on a 35-cent banana. Big chains like Trader Joe's sell for as little as 49 cents a pound—it's a loss leader to get folks in the store. Chinatown green grocers, which sell overstock fruit, offer even better deals. Then there's Starbucks, SBUX -0.79 % which charges a buck a banana. Does a stiff price guarantee a better fruit? The barista at my local café doesn't think so. He constantly sends customers down the street, where bananas sell three for a dollar. "No one seems to care," he sighs.
Well, I care. I bought bananas from eight stores in Brooklyn and Manhattan and conducted a blind taste test with two banana-crazed co-workers. Should it be any surprise, in this city of savage injustice, that the worst-rated banana was one of the most expensive? This little brown monstrosity, which split open on its way to the office and unleashed a putrid banana pulp, cost $1.19 a pound at a deli on Court Street. I felt like a monkey for overpaying. Banana experts say that once a banana gets speckled, the wholesale price plummets—you can't give them away.
Fellow losers included the 35-cent street-cart banana ("mushy, too many strings"), a high-price Chiquita from a Brooklyn gourmet market ("tastes like baby food") and a midprice Ecuadorian import from a Korean green grocer with a chalky texture. Everyone had high hopes for the organic entry from Whole Foods (99 cents a pound). It was deemed the most beautiful, and scored high points in the personality category. But the taste? "Like a dirty potato." The banana was also from Ecuador, which, according to Mr. Palumbo, produces a tougher fruit, "a piece of wood."
The two top-rated bananas—a Dole Banana from Met Food and the Whole Foods "conventional" banana, with its feel-good "fair trade" label—were both reasonably priced at 79 cents a pound. And the Starbucks dollar banana? A distant third, not worth the money. (Turns out my local barista was right. Starbucks didn't respond to multiple calls for comment.)
But all this research, it turns out, was likely for naught. Asked about his store's hit-and-miss showing in our test, Mr. Thorpe of Whole Foods says it's impossible to judge a purveyor on one banana, because most stores churn their sources. "The banana you get today may not be the banana you get tomorrow," he says. Truer words were never said.

Did you play through the chapter or quit after finding him dead in the chair. For me I went to Prince Lawrence first and it starts off with him seemingly dead but then revives after you've searched/looked through everything.
I even told him Faith had been killed and prevented him from killing himself while Dee was searching the place. Then again that scene doesn't really play out too well, you try getting out of the closet and he just falters in the process of trying to shoot himself. Bigby chases Dee and from what I can tell Snow leaves at the same time so I don't really see what was to stop him from killing himself after you both left. My stats claimed that I saved Prince Lawrence.
