Unit 5 Chemical Compounds
Compounds Most elements are not found separately but combined in a compound with something else The reason for this is the octet rule We want 8…eight is great!
Compounds There are two different kinds of chemical bonds: Ionic Bonds Covalent Bonds Both types have compounds that end up with a full valence.
Compounds – Ionic vs. Covalent Ionic Bonds are formed when atoms transfer their electrons from one to the other. Covalent Bonds are formed when atoms share their electrons from one to the other.
Compounds – Ionic vs. Covalent Below is a list of different compounds. How can we tell if they are ionic or covalent? NaClIonic SCl 2 Covalent Al 2 O 3 Ionic N2N2 Covalent All of the Ionic Bonds have what types of atoms? All of the Covalent Bonds have what types of atoms?
Compounds – Ionic vs. Covalent Ionic Bonds are between metals and nonmetals Metals transfer their electrons to the nonmetals. Covalent Bonds are between nonmetals. Electrons are shared between the valences.
Compounds – Octet Rule All of the atoms end up like Noble Gases. They have full valence shells. These elements have 8 electrons in highest energy level
Ionic Bonding Atoms will either give up or take electrons to get to have eight in their highest energy level
Hey, can you help me out and gimme an electron?
Why certainly, I have one I don't want anyway.
Give up/take away electrons
Charges Sodium now has a +1 charge since it has lost an electron Chlorine now has a -1 charge since it gained an electron
Charges Sodium now has a +1 charge since it has lost an electron Chlorine a minus charge since it gained an electron
Ionic Bond Opposites attract, so a bond is formed between the two of them. (or until water breaks us apart)
Determining metal and non-metal charge Where are the metals on the periodic table? Metals always have what charge? Where are the nonmetals? Nonmetals always have what charge? We'll see the charges of the different families on the following slide.
Using the periodic Table to find an ion's charge We're going to forget all about the middle of the table for now
Counting Atoms Compounds are written with funny numbers above below and to the side of the atomic symbols. These are called superscripts, subscripts and coefficients.
Counting Atoms - Superscripts Superscripts are written above the text. They are the superheroes of the chemical world. They are used to tell the charge on a particular ion. Examples are: Na + N -3
Counting Atoms - Subscripts Subscripts are written below the text. They are the submarines of the chemical world. They are used to tell amount of a particular atom. Examples are: Al 2 O 3 UF 6
Compounds - Coefficients Coefficients are written IN FRONT OF THE TEXT. They add a little math to the world of chemistry. They are used to tell the amount of a particular compound. Examples are: 2 Cl 2 5 NH 3
Counting Atoms - Parentheses Parentheses are written (in the middle of the text). They call time out in the chemical world. They are used to count a group of atoms separately. Examples are: Na(CO 3 ) (NH 4 ) 2 S
Compounds – Counting Atoms MgCl 2 How many Mg's are there? 1 How many Cl's are there? 2
Compounds – Counting Atoms 3MgCl 2 How many Mg's are there? 3 How many Cl's are there? 6
Compounds – Counting Atoms Mg 3 N 2 How many Mg's are there? 3 How many N's are there? 2
Compounds – Counting Atoms 4Mg 3 N 2 How many Mg's are there? 12 How many N's are there? 8
Compounds – Counting Atoms (NH 4 ) 2 O How many N's are there? 2 How many H's are there? 8 How many O's are there? 1
Compounds – Counting Atoms 3(NH 4 ) 2 O How many N's are there? 6 How many H's are there? 24 How many O's are there? 3
Chemical Nomenclature How to write and say chemical formulas
Naming Ionic Compounds Ionic Compounds are between a metal and a non-metal Why? When naming ionic compounds Write/say the name of the metal (THE METAL IS ALWAYS FIRST!) Write the name of the non-metal Drop the ending and add -ide to it. Usually before the second vowel from the end. NaCl = Sodium Chlorine -ide Sodium Chloride
Practice Problem Name the following ionic compounds 1. ZnO 2. LiBr 3. Mg 3 N 2 4. BaS 5. K 3 P Zinc oxide Lithium bromide Magnesium nitride Barium sulfide Potassium phosphide
Combining metals and nonmetals When combining a metal and a non-metal, the overall charge of the compound must be zero. The metal must be written first You must balance out the overall charge!
Combining metals and nonmetals Take for instance calcium nitride. What is the symbol for Calcium? Ca What is the charge of the calcium ion? +2 What is the symbol for Nitrogen? N What is the charge of the nitride ion? -3
Combining metals and nonmetals Ca +2 means each calcium ion has 2 more electrons than it wants N -3 means each nitride ion needs 3 more electrons.
Hey buddy, can you spare 3 electrons?
Sorry dude, I only have two.
Maybe I can help!
YEAH! Woo Hoo! HEY, What about me?
Hang loose, man. I'll get one of my buddies.
YO, YO, YO. Your hero has arrived.
Wait, I still need two more.
I have two I'd like to get rid of.
The ions found they were still attracted to one another due to their opposing charges. And they all lived happily ever after.
Steps for Writing Ionic Formulas Write the Symbol for the metal Write the charge as a superscript Write the Symbol for the nonmetal Write the charge as a superscript Balance the charges OR Switchy Switchy
Practice Problem Give the formulas for the following compounds 1. Beryllium iodide 2. Potassium sulfide 3. Magnesium oxide 4. Strontium fluoride BeI 2 K2SK2S MgO SrF 2
Covalent Bonds Compounds formed by two non-metals More of a sharing of electrons rather than a give-take relationship
Can you spare an electron?
Why don't you share an electron? You know sharing is caring!
Co=together Valent=valence electrons… therefore, covalent is sharing electrons!
Naming Covalent Bonds Prefixes on back of periodic table If there is only one of the first element, no prefix. Otherwise attach prefix (2-10) Second always gets prefix and -ide ending (just like ionic anion) (1-10) Name these ICl 5 Iodine Pentachloride N2ON2O Dinitrogen Monoxide
Practice Problems Name the following covalent compounds 1. CO 2 2. PCl 5 3. CO 4. P 3 F 6 Carbon dioxide Phosphorous pentachloride Carbon monoxide Triphosphorous hexaflouride
Practice Problems What are the formulas for the following compounds? 1. Nitrogen dioxide 2. Sulfur hexafluoride 3. Dicarbon hexahydride 4. Nitrogen monoxide NO 2 SF 6 C2H6C2H6 NO

PA additive manufacturing in the spotlight
Three Pennsylvania companies — two from the Pittsburgh region — were the first named winners of a program aimed at better connecting universities and researchers to advanced manufacturing companies.
Called Research for Advanced Manufacturing in Pennsylvania (RAMP), the program is run by Carnegie Mellon University and Lehigh University, and awards small grants to teams that include faculty and manufacturing companies. The grants pay to have a graduate student work with the company on a specific project.
The first three award winners are:
- Acutronic USA, based in Pittsburgh
- ExOne, based in North Huntingdon
- Paramount Industries, a 3D Systems company, based in Langhorne.
The awards were announced at an event at Acutronic on Tuesday by Gov. Tom Corbett.
At Acutronic the grant will be used to "kickstart a new business area for exploration," said CEO Dominique Schinabeck. Specifically, the company is looking at creating a prototype system for inertial MEMS devices, things like accelerometers and gyros that can be found in electronics. The end-to-end system could lower the cost and time for testing, she said. The project is in conjunction with CMU.
All three of the recipients work in the additive manufacturing space and Tuesday's event was organized by the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII), a group formed over the summer as a result of federal grant competition.
Through the event the underlying theme was the future of the region's manufacturing industry, as well as the nation's, lies in areas such as additive manufacturing. Corbett received a private tour of Acutronic and demonstrations by the three winning companies of how their additive manufacturing machines work.
Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, builds a part layer by layer of a material from the ground up instead of traditional machining, or subtractive manufacturing, that build a part by removing layers of a material. Advancements in this type of manufacturing are expected to usher in a new era of manufacturing and groups like NAMII want to see the Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Ohio region be the hub of that innovation.
"We have the manufacturing DNA and know-how to get material in and product out," said Ralph Resnick, acting director of NAMII and president of the National Center for Defense Manufacturing (NCDMM).
The RAMP program was announced in June and is funded by $1 million from the Department of Community and Economic Development through the Discovered in PA — Developed in PA program.
"The technology we see today will change manufacturing in ways people didn't imagine five, 10 or 20 years ago," Corbett said, equating the importance of NAMII's foundation to that of the anvil of the industrial revolution.
What is invented here, through the universities and partnerships like RAMP, should be built here, he said.

World War I Movie Timeline
A few months ago, KingLongshanks made a list in which he attempted to chronologically order films based on World War II. The list can be viewed at this link:
I was inspired to try something similar, only here I am dealing with films based on the First World War. It is hard to identify the films by exact dates, so I am mainly basing this on the years in which each film takes place. You are also more than welcome to mention films that I should add in the comments (there are probably a lot of them).

In reply to ameyer • Nov 9, 2004
In my case, with the optio33l, I lack of a viewfinder. But, I got used to the LCD screen very well. The ONLY issue that I may express is when I go to nightclubs or to the unlit street and try to frame people, cause the LCD is all black, but, with the practise I've got a mental idea on which will be the frame coverage, and so far so good. If you are looking for the ultimate viewfinder, SLR or DSLR is the only way to go as far as I know.

Thanks for all the feedback.
It looks like the consensus is that, while some people don't like
optical viewfinders at all, those that do seem to have no trouble
with the Pentax versions.

DALLAS — The Miami Marlins signed Jose Reyes(notes) to $106 million contract because he is one of the best shortstops in the majors and they want to win the World Series. They love his bat, they love his glove and they love his speed.
But the dreadlocks? They've got to go.
Like they did a few seasons back with Hanley Ramirez(notes), the Marlins won't tolerate Reyes' shoulder-length hair. Team president David Samson said Wednesday that Reyes will have to abide, just like anyone else on the roster.
"The answer is, there'll be team rules," Samson said. "Everyone follows the team rules, whatever they are."
Hanley, you go play third base. Jose, you go see a barber. The Fish might have back-loaded Reyes' contract, but they don't want the back of his neck to be loaded with hair. And if anyone doubts that Samson means it about Florida's idea of team concept, just contact Marlins outfielder Logan Morrison(notes) on Twitter to get his take. He'll tell you.
The policy makes even more sense considering that Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria reportedly idolizes former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. If The Boss was vigilant about anything, it was personal grooming. He would cast hairnets like they were dragnets. That's why Oscar Gamble's Afro never quite bloomed in New York like it did elsewhere.
Reyes has not said much on the subject yet, though Joel Sherman of the New York Daily News characterized him as "not happy about" the hair policy — but happy about the money. All of that cash ought to buy some peace of mind. And scalp.
It would seem the only hope Reyes has to keep his dreads would be Ozzie Guillen, the new freedom-loving manager. If only:
Question to Ozzie: "Is Jose going to have to cut his dreads?"
Answer: "It's not my [bleeping] team," Guillen said. "My job is to just make sure he scores a lot of runs."
So much for a last-moment reprieve. Personal grooming is one thing, but there's nothing poorly coiffed about Reyes' head. It's orderly and under control, but all the fogies in charge see is a long-haired hippie. I'm not going to shed any tears when someone takes a pair of shears to Reyes' hair, but it's still regrettable that he's not allowed to express his individuality. It's kind of ... dreadful.

The world's largest social network Facebook is developing a mobile application that will track the movements of users in real time, using data from GPS, cellular networks and Wi-Fi hotspots. The program can run in the background.
As says Bloomberg, citing its own sources, the development application is in the final stage. Release program is expected in mid-March. Launching the application, the social network intends to discourage the audience from the popular service Foursquare and earn a targeted advertising. New help billionth Facebook audience to find out which online friends are nearby, with special alerts.
At the expense of tracking the movements of users of the service will be able to choose their very precisely targeted advertising based on daily routes people. This will help the company to increase the monetization of mobile users whom Facebook is already much more than "dekstopnyh" .
On the application of labor formerly of Google, Peter Deng, and experts from the startup Gowalla, Facebook bought in 2011. Also on the program of work of the company employees Glancee, Facebook acquired a few months ago.
The program, created by Facebook, – this is not the first application of this kind (the world has seen the Find My Friends by Apple and Highlight by Math Camp). These applications are not popular among the users as much smartphone will drain the battery because of the constant work geopositioning services. In addition, these services pose considerable challenges in terms of privacy.

Rock n' roll dreams often only comes once. Gameface is getting a second one.
One of California's legendary power-pop bands, Los Angeles' Gameface amassed a legion of fans during the 1990's, in which they released a string of albums and became a regional favorite. One of the rawest bands during an era where rock was no longer the king of the airwaves, Gameface gained the reputation as a hard working band of up and coming young musicians. However, after a decade of obtaining a cult status, but failing at gaining nationwide success, the band began to grow apart and lose their focus. In 2003 the group decided to call it quits and go their separate ways. Gameface was over…but not forgotten. While the members of Gameface continued to play music, the group was remembered fondly by people that saw them when they were growing up, Gameface managed to inspire others to go into the music industry themselves, and continued to be part of California's rock evolution.
In 2012, after ten years of little communication, Jeff Caudill, Todd D. Trout, Guy Julian and Steve Sanderson tediously reunited for a series of concerts celebrating the anniversary of their former label only to find that the magic was still there. The reunion concerts lead to new music and a new energy as the guys; older, wiser and refocused, decided that perhaps it was time for Gameface to return to the playing field.
The result is a brand new single, Come on Down, which was released in November 2013, and a brand new studio album, Now Is What Matters Now, scheduled to be released on March 18th! With good old fashioned rock n' roll hurting more today than it did in the 90's, the return of Gameface couldn't come at a better time.
I connected with Gameface lead singer Jeff Caudill to talk about the return of Gameface. For the last decade Caudill has continued to actively pursue music via a series of solo projects, as well as being one of the primary players in Your Favorite Trainwreck. However, it is obvious when talking with Jeff that Gameface is a very important part of his musical journey, and he is passionate about the band's second coming.
Sam Tweedle: So Gameface has gotten back together. This has been a bit of a surprise to a lot of music fans. Is it a surprise to you?
Jeff Caudill: It was surprising when it did happen. Last summer we were asked to do a couple of reunion shows for our old record label, Revelation Records. They were doing their twenty fifth anniversary and we decided that that was a good enough excuse to give it a shot. So we did the shows, but we didn't expect it to be a full on reunion or to get back together. We thought we'd get together for the shows and have a good time. The thing is, it went really great. As people, and as bandmates, we didn't go back to where we left off but we went back to when it was actually fun. I sort of pretended that it wasn't happening for a while, but the more we were together and the more we were playing, I couldn't help but start writing new material. We kept it really quiet, because we didn't really want to admit this was going on. We wanted to do some songs, and make sure that it wasn't just happening in our heads. So, after a few songs, we felt that it really was a viable thing and that we weren't just dreaming it and we decided that we'd go for it. So now we have an album worth of material, we have a label and we have a new single. It's the whole thing.
Sam: What label have you signed with?
Jeff: The record label we signed with is Equal Vision. They're awesome. They get it. They kind of understand where we're at. I couldn't have dreamt it any more perfect. Up till now it's been really fantastic and has been how I'd hope it would be.
Sam: Now take me through the history of Gameface. You guys originally formed while you were still teenagers.
Jeff: Yeah. This was right out of high school. I kind of discovered punk rock in the late 80's and I met the other guys when I was going to these punk shows around '87 and '88. This was the beginning of my entire music thing. I was in some really terrible bands in high school, but [Gameface] was the first real thing where we wrote our own stuff, we got in the van and toured and we put out records. That lasted from 1990 to 2003.
Sam: So you guys were together for over a decade.
Jeff: Yeah. It was my youth. My coming of age. [Gameface] means a lot to me. Having it sort of implode in 2003 was sad, but it felt like something that needed to happen. We felt like we needed to walk away.
Sam: What were some of the circumstances of Gameface's original break up?
Jeff: At that point, we had grown up together and had grown apart on all levels; musically and as people. We did all we could do to stay together. It wasn't that we couldn't stand each other, but no one could agree about what role the band would play in their lives. There were some guys that wanted to make a career out of it, and there were some that wanted it to be just a hobby. We just didn't agree on what the band was, and we were really dysfunctional and never wanted to talk about it, so there was this big silence and it really did just implode right before we released our final album. It was messy, and we didn't talk for a while, but it's not like we were angry with each other. We just didn't have anything to say. We went for many years without talking at all. But we talked about [getting back together] about four or five years ago. We all got together and talked about stuff with the intention of hanging out. But ten years is enough distance for all the water to be under the bridge. All of the reasons that we broke up don't really exist anymore. We are doing it now for the love of our band, and the love of our music. It's really kind of liberating to not really care about trying to make it, or trying to figure out what's cool in the music scene, because none of that has anything to do with us anymore as forty years olds. It's a second chance of making it right. As long as we can keep our heads all clear and just focus on the reason we wanted to do the band in the first place, it's going to be great.
Sam: When you guys get back together did you gel immediately again as a band, or did it take time to ease into it?
Jeff: It was pretty quick. It came back really fast. I was amazed how good things sounded and felt. We pretty much played an entire album within the first couple of [rehearsals]. We did the Every Last Time album from front to back. I'm sure that everybody did their homework leading up to the first rehearsal, but we pretty much knocked it out. It was good. That was the thing that made it, for me, to make that switch turn on. We sounded as good, or better, than we'd ever had. It was exciting.
Sam: But you guys are older and your musical tastes have obviously changed. Have you seen an evolution in Gameface?
Jeff: We didn't plan on it sounding a certain way. We didn't plan on trying to update our sound, but we didn't want to sound like we did in 1995. But, I think what happens when the four of us get together is that we just sound like we sound. There is no other way to describe it. It just sounds like Gameface made another record right after their last one. It just feels good and comfortable and it's still exciting.
Sam: What were the other guys in Gameface doing over the last ten years? Were they involved in music as well?
Jeff: Yeah. They had a couple of other bands. Our drummer toured with some bands, and one of them was signed with a major label. There were little different incarnations of the rest of the guys. At one time the three of them formed a band with a different singer, doing similar music. It's not as scandalous as it sounds, but they were definitely doing their thing. We all loved playing music.
Sam: I know Gameface had a solid fan following in the 90's. What kind of buzz has been happening now that you've reunited?
Jeff: It's really hard to say. There is certainly a really good core of fans that have been there the whole time, even when we were gone, who I know are really excited, and that feels awesome. When we did the reunion shows the response was really great. It wasn't insane, but it was how we hoped it would be. But we are hoping to reach a little further with the new record. At the very least get it to the old fans, but I hope that we can get it to a new generation of kids who have an appreciation for this kind of music. There are a lot of kids out there that are looking to bands that were influenced by bands like us. I hope the younger generation get this record so they can see where their bands came from.
Sam: I find it interesting that a lot of the rock bands that are getting commercial success today sound very similar to what Gamface was doing twenty years ago.
Jeff: There is definitely a resurgence of the 90's post punk thing, and I think that's great. What goes around comes around. Hopefully its good timing for us.
Sam: Has all your other musical projects taken a back seat while you are doing this?
Jeff: Yeah. I had to kind of decompartementalize everything. At least until the record is done it's all about Gameface, and once the album hits this spring, it's going to be even more about Gameface. When we finished our run of shows last year I pretty much started to write our new album, and I finished it around the end of the year last year. It's pretty much been tunnel vision on this album. I have a solo EP that's been sitting around for a while and that I started recording, but that can wait. I can finish that up some other time.
There is a world of kids out there today who don't know what a real rock song sounds like. This is the generation that needs Gameface more than ever.

From Michigan, so can only ship to your FFL.
Price: $1850 Shipped
This is a late war byf 44 full Kriegsmodell (war model) "L" block, which was the first block that started this whole Kriegs process. Most byf 44's show up as the standard versions, so it's a lot more desirable than your standard byf 44. For the people who don't know, Kriegsmodell versions are shortcuts that were given to these rifles to speed up production towards the end of the war. The bolt take down disc, bayonet lug, band spring and locking screws were taken down and a simplified version like the one you see was put in its place instead. Something about this rifle is that the "L" letter stamp was considered unusable towards the 80000 number, and had to use this lower case "l" instead. Might not mean much to most people, but to an avid collector it's a bit more unique. This rifle in particular is in nice shape, but it has a few problems. It's missing a screw in the rear band, not sure if the safety is a late war spare or incorrect, and it looks like someone took a saw to sling keeper to widen it. Unfortunate, but might be able to give to a professional to fill in the sling hole to make it look better. Other than that the bluing is in great shape and all the parts look period correct. Please ask any questions that you might have and I'll be glad to answer them. Again, have to ship to an FFL as I'm not a resident of California.

Star Performance: I wrote this as my entry in the NaNoWriMo November 2010. Six Parts.
Had an unexpected question about poppers of fruit juice see:
Always a Marine and the Three Cartridges: It's short and the title says it all. Please read the third paragraph of the funeral carefully, the only uniform I mention the colour of is that of the Marine Corps League, which is a red coat, and they provide the Honour Guard, not the serving Marines. Thank you to those who found someone to ask about the three cartridges, and for passing the information on to me. Three sources checked with senior NCOs in their local military and they signify - Honour, Country, and Duty.
Rough Diamond: The bulk of the story is a diary style account in the first person. Like most first person accounts, the main character starts out by making a statement today, and then giving a bit of background on the situation. In doing this, once having moved you back to the start of where the background starts, it's told in the present first person. I'm sorry if you don't like the style or have problems with it, but this is how most people actually tell events in real life; and it's how I write.
I've had a some people question the Casinos and the IRS. Here's my explanation:
The IRS: is concerned about the taxes being paid. Once they find the money is going to the company, they concentrate efforts on the company, to ensure they're paying the right taxes. Once that's resolved, they walk away - their only concern is tax revenue. They're unlikely to be investigating Anian himself, or look at his actual age as he won't have a Social Security Number as he's a legal foreigner and it's not his taxes they're looking at until the end of the tax year and he lodges a return.
The Casinos: my research shows the Indian Casinos, which are what Anian deals with in New Mexico, do NOT operate the same way as the big commercial ones in Las Vegas etc., they're less likely to be quick in banning people and the like behaviour. I make a point of his mentioning being connected with The Spirits and how some of the Indian staff connect with this too. This is another reason why they won't be so quick to kick him out and be prepared to put up with him once he places limits on his activities, that and his big tips. OK, I may be a bit out in the reality of the situation as I didn't have an opportunity to talk to the actual casino staff about this, but it's a very reasonable premises to go with.
I hope you pay close attention to the very last sentence of the story as it applies to all politicians and government employees, domestic and otherwise.
Chaos Calls: Learning Visit - The opening does give away a bit of what's to happen in Finding Home as it's the end of Finding Home. That's there to set Al's character up in Chaos without having to make a new one.
Release of Prisoners: In the section where the main camp is attacked, after the attack Al and Joe are speaking to Colonel Bond, the next paragraph mentions the teens get down from their positions and release the prisoners. They help clean up the site.
Return Home: I mention the travel home is faster than the travel through the forest. I say that as when they bypassed Bridgetown and worked their slow way to the enemy camp they travelled in the forest amongst the scrub and trees, making their way with great care and working hard not to leave a trail while scouting ahead before moving. On the return trip they travel on the road that goes through the forest, that's open and no scrub in the way, making for a faster trip. The return trip has a lot less in the way of natural obstructions and makes for easier movement.
Chaos Calls: First Rescue - Up North, I've had a few people say that US citizens would use the term Back East when talking about going from New Mexico to Frederick. One editor raised this, so I do have the US CITIZENS use that term; but Al is an Aussie and would never say it that way, to him it would be 'up north' as a purely descriptive term, and the same for Eduardo as he's a Mexican. So, please, no more emails about Al saying up north.
Chaos Calls: Dragon Dilemma - Bearings, the bearings I use are steel roller or needle bearings in a steel race - not ball bearings. These can be cast metal. Bearings will never be common on Chaos, it's metal poor, as the metal bearings of the wagons are worth a lot. A rich person like Al can afford them for a special project.
A troop is a basic military unit and has varied a lot between countries, forces, and time periods. The earliest use of the term was for an organised group of warriors on foot. Today, more people are used to a cavalry troop. In more modern usage it varies between being the equivalent of a platoon or a company and has varied in size from around 30 to 70 members. On Chaos Al is setting up a troop to be the equal of a platoon, but with 65 members as that's what he sees as a reasonable sized force to safely act on its own. In older times military units had larger numbers than they do today - think pre gunpowder period, please.
The carts I mention are something like a dog cart modified for use by a horse, they are only as wide as an average horse. Here's an image of roughly what they look like in real life:
Times of Old
I've had emails about a cultural thing to do with carpentry. Here in Australia I was taught by a carpenter to call the cut a rebate. In the US most seem to call the same thing a rabbet - the wiki article on a Dado joints calls it both, amongst other things.
I've had a few emails where people say I should credit cmsix.
First, yes, I'm aware of his writing and make an oblique reference to one of his works early on in Times of Old.
Second, cmsix did NOT create this genre and he was far from my first introduction to aliens and time travel. The first story I read along these lines was back in the 1970s and was in an old pulp fiction paperback. At SOL I first read time travel stories by authors like aubie 56, The Scot, Jim War, and Old Guy before I found cmsix's works. Some of those pre-date the stories cmsix has on SOL. His big one, John and Argent seems to have been written in 2005 or 2006, from what I can find on the Internet, well after I had read stories by others. So please stop saying I should credit him for the idea, as it was around before him.
I received an anonymous email about how the story varies from the reader's ideas. I will address a few points they raised so others won't feel the need to comment on them.
Early dialogues with the aliens - Ed thought he was going to die and is surprised not to be dead. Then he's hit with the idea about being the main star in a survival show. He realises they can just eliminate him if he disagrees, so he takes the job on. No need for a serious discussion at all and he's also still a bit shocked by the situation. I defy anyone to be anything but a little flippant in that situation.
Weapons and the Wagons About them being useless after a few decades and Ed should take books, information, paper and printing presses. I need only say: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - which I've applied to the story. Ed is a guy wanting to stay alive, not an evangelistic scientist on a quest to change the world by taking a hundred tons of gear with him.
He first ensures his survival; designer cave to live in, armoured clothing, guns to survive a major attack, a show and tell manual on medicine and the local herbs, (think of these as insurance) then standard weapons of the era to hunt and survive normal attacks, basic tools and seed to convert from a hunter gatherer lifestyle to an agricultural one, salt and cooking gear to get an in with the locals, finally a wagon and horsepower to move it all to his living area. He also gets the knowledge to talk to the locals.
For those who've not studied it, no culture can develop and sustain metalworking and metal based tools or implements until AFTER they've developed a decent agricultural lifestyle that enables them enough people to be free to concentrate on such activities as mining, smelting, and blacksmithing. No one person can do all that themselves, and it takes one hell of an infrastructure behind the society to do it - an infrastructure that would take decades or lifetimes to develop from a hunter gather society, no matter how smart and knowledgeable the leaders are.
Ed has to move the society along at a sane pace they can absorb and change to, one step at a time. Which is why the book on tools he asked for and why the focus on woodworking tools. Yes he cheats and gets long lasting high quality metal ones to start with, but all are tools that can be duplicated from within the available materials and technology of the era. The only thing he has that can't are the guns, and he doesn't want them to be available to anyone else, anyway.
In short, Ed's approach is to improve the life of the people and advance towards civilisation, but at a rate they can handle and sustain, not huge unsupported leaps of tech that can't be sustained.

Different Sizes, Different Fees
Why do plus size models earn less than their regular colleagues?
In the 90s, when supermodels didn't even get out of bed for less than 10,000 dollars a day (as Linda Evangelista famously told the journalist Jonathan Van Meter in an interview in 1990), Emme became the forerunner of today's plus size models. Before Crystal Renn or Lizzie Miller, she was the most famous and the highest-paid plus size model in fashion.
Now 48 years old, she's a writer and TV personality and is always working on topics relating to female image and gender stereotyping. One of her latest charges is about professional fees: Emme thinks that plus size models are paid less than their regular colleagues. As if they were second eleven players, plus size models find it harder to find work.
They are hired less because the worlds of fashion and advertising still prefer to use US size 4 models and don't give space to different body shapes. Using a more diverse range of models would benefit the profession and would be welcomed by all those women who don't feel that they are represented in the images they see in fashion magazines, which are always too far removed from real life.

text: No stranger to the Dunk this year, canvas dresses this new color offering of the WMNS Nike Dunk Low. A pale shade of yellow, dubbed "Lightbulb", covers the base of the canvas built upper, paired with leather in the same color on the Swoosh and heel tab. The difference in textures adds subtle contrast to the tonal upper, with white lending a hand on the lining, laces and midsole. One last hit of Lightbulb on the outsole finishes things off. These women's Nike Dunk's are available now through e-tailer KicksCrew and on eBay.

text: What do you folks know about this school? It's SACS accredited and seems to be a SBC seminary run at the state level (not sure though). Adrian Rogers thought it worthy enough to provide the school w/ the property for their new campus. They look like they have a beautiful campus and a decent faculty. The biggest problem I see is that many in their faculty are inbred from within. But I like their PhD program. I emailed them and asked them what they can offer that Southern can't. I'll let you know how they respond. I am basically seeking out all options for postgrad work. Hopefully, someone can tell me more about this school. THanks in advance!

What the legal journals are reporting this week
ALLEN & OVERY has opted to call the Law Society's "conflict hotline" to get clearance to act for both bidder and target on a public deal in the Netherlands. Tony Keal, an A&O partner, advised Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) on the banking aspects of its bid for Royal Vendex KBB, which used A&O's Amsterdam office. According to Keal, the Law Society told A&O that "there was no potential for conflict", a stance that has caused surprise in the City. A&O is still under investigation by the Office for the Supervision of Solicitors (OSS) for its dual role on last year's

Geospace Missions for Space Weather and the Next Scientific Challenges James Spann, United States, NASA February 11, 2014
Beautiful motivation

Top rated future science missions in the US highlight Geospace space weather relevant missions The first new STP science target is to understand the outer heliosphere and its interaction with the interstellar medium, as illustrated by the reference mission Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP). Implementing IMAP as the first of the STP investigations will ensure coordination with NASA Voyager missions. The mission implementation also requires measurements of the critical solar wind inputs to the terrestrial system. The second STP science target is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the variability in space weather driven by lower- atmosphere weather on Earth. This target is illustrated by the reference mission Dynamical Neutral Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling (DYNAMIC).
The third STP science target is to determine how the magnetosphere- ionosphere-thermosphere system is coupled and how it responds to solar and magnetospheric forcing. This target is illustrated by the reference mission Magnetosphere Energetics, Dynamics, and Ionospheric Coupling Investigation (MEDICI). The survey committee describes the next science target best addressed by the LWS program (is) a mission to understand how Earths atmosphere absorbs solar wind energy, illustrated by the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC). Top rated future science missions in the US highlight Geospace space weather relevant missions
IMAP A notional spacecraft and instrument implementation for IMAP is based largely on ACE and IBEX. IMAP is a Sun-pointed spinner, with spin axis readjustment every few days to provide all-sky maps every 6 months. Mission goals are achieved with a 2-year baseline, including transit to L1, with possible extension to longer operation (which would be particularly beneficial for long- term L1 monitoring). Observations from many spacecraft () contribute dramatically to understanding solar energetic particle events, the importance of suprathermal ions for efficient further energization, the sources and evolution of solar wind, solar-wind and energetic-particle inputs into geospace, and evolution of the solar-heliospheric magnetic field. These observables are controlled by a myriad of complex and poorly understood physical effects acting on distinct particle populations. IMAP combines highly sensitive PUI (pick-up ions) and suprathermal-ion sensors to provide the critical species, spectral coverage, and temporal resolution to address these physical processes. As an L1 monitor, IMAP also would fill a critical hole in Sun-Earth system observations by measuring the solar wind
New discoveries at the interface of the the heliosphere and the local intergallactic space give us some insight on very deep space weather. IMAP would explore that interface further and provide a robust platform for a L1 monitor of space weather.
DYNAMIC By resolving the fundamental question of meteorological influences from below, DYNAMIC will firmly connect the ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) system to Earths lower atmosphere, capturing a critical, missing component of scientific understanding of geospace and providing a critical new capability () at an important boundary in near-Earth space. In establishing the relative importance of thermal expansion, upwelling, and advection in defining total mass density changes, DYNAMIC will also provide information fundamental to understanding the global IT response to forcing from above. This investigation of the contribution of the lower atmosphere to the mean structure and dynamics of the IT system reflects a scientific appreciation of the importance of these drivers gained since the 2003 solar and space physics decadal survey.
DYNAMIC targets the effects of lower atmospheric processes on conditions in space, characterizing how the energy and momentum carried into this region by atmospheric waves and tides interact and compete with solar and magnetospheric drivers. Full spatial and temporal resolution of the wave inputs is accomplished by using two identical, high-inclination, space- based platforms in similar orbits, offset by 6 hours of local time
MEDICI MEDICI will both benefit from and enhance the science return from almost any geospace mission that flies contemporaneously, such as upstream solar wind monitors, geostationary satellites, and low-Earth-orbit missions. In particular, by providing global context and quantitative estimates for magnetospheric- ionospheric plasma and energy exchange, MEDICI has significant value for missions investigating ionospheric conditions, outflow of ionospheric plasma into the magnetosphere, energy input from the magnetosphere into the ionosphere, and aurora ionosphere-thermosphere coupling in general. Thus it will add value to a host of possible ionospheric strategic missions, Explorers, and rocket and balloon campaigns. Further, with continuous imaging and in situ observations from two separate platforms, it would provide indispensable validating observations of system-level interactions and processes that feed geospace predictive models. The likely long duration of the notional MEDICI mission will allow it to provide a transformative framework into which additional future science missions can naturally fit.
MEDICI targets complex, coupled, and interconnected multiscale behavior of the magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere system by providing high-resolution, global, continuous three-dimensional images of the ring current(orange), plasmasphere (green), aurora, and ionospheric-thermospheric dynamics and flows, as well as multipoint in situ measurements.
Geospace Dynamic Constellation GDC will make measurements critical to understanding how the IT system regulates the response of geospace to external forcing. The constellation of satellites will provide a complete picture of the dynamic exchange of energy and momentum that occurs between ionized and neutral gases at high latitudes, providing the HSO a critical capability for measuring the response and electrodynamic feedback of Earths IT system to drivers originating in the solar wind and magnetosphere. GDC will also determine the global response of the IT system to magnetic activity and storms and expose how changes in the system at different locations are related. Finally, it will determine the influence of forcing from below on the IT system, by measuring the global variability of thermospheric waves and tides on a day-to-day basis with the spatial resolution that only a constellation of satellites can provide.
Features of the 6-spacecraft GDC mission concept
Are these Missions Real? The recommended highest priority science has significant space weather relevance in Geospace The science focus is real
Challenges Next Major Science Challenges o Flare prediction – solar surface and subsurface dynamics o Geoeffectiveness of Space Storms – interplanetary magnetic field o Ionospheric variability – ubiquitous impact Discipline Challenge o Operation tools and workforce development
Scientific Challenge: Geoeffectiveness Significant progress has been made predicting arrival time of space storms How geoeffective will a storm be? o Sometimes yes, sometimes no Orientation of magnetic field and velocity are the first order determinants We have magnetic field orientation and magnitude at L1 with in situ monitors Goal: measure the orientation of the magnetic field as it evolves on its way to Earth
A concept to measure the inner solar system magnetic field Zodiacal light is scattered sunlight off interplanetary dust grains Dust grains rotate when illuminated, and become charged when exposed to UV and charged particles A rotating charged grain will align itself with mag field Alignment of a cloud of dust grains will produce polarized scattered light when illuminated Using polarimetry measurements and knowledge of dust grain optical extinction coefficient, the mag field direction can be inferred
Scientific Challenge: Ionospheric Variability Ionospheric variability is arguably the most ubiquitous of all space weather effects on society Understanding the nature of the variability is very difficult Remote observations of the variability is elusive, but possible on large and small scales To make progress, in situ, ground-based, and large scale observations are needed
Day to day variability can be outstanding and currently defies prediction New techniques show us behavior of the ionosphere that is completely unexpected. Daytime TEC : LISN Network – P.I. C. Valladares Outstanding day-to-day variability in equatorial ionosphere while! Noon Sector, December 24, 25, 26, 2011 From Thomas Immels presentation at AMS Space Weather Conference

Keep warm Fg ((hugs))
Good morning all G'day and Get Well Soon Pat
Still some snow on the veg patch and car roofs, but the garden thermometer only went down to 2C last night.
Just had a phone call from OH - the GC car park is very icy and he skidded and fell off his bike ... be careful out there folks ... especially in GC car parks!!!
Snowdrops Chicky
I've just woken up and it's all white outside
I shall go back to sleep
We feed the starlings few. They're on the RSPB's amber list because their numbers are declining so rapidly.
I think that it's probably no coincidence that there's an increase in reports of leatherjacket damage to lawns at the same time that starlings are declining.
Snoozing on sofa now ....... see you in the morning folks ........... keep those hatches battened down
Snow wrote (see)
........... Looking forward to new jokes
Wot? On this thread .........
Brrrrr! Wind's getting really strong out there ....... OH will be coming home on his bike soon - my guess is he'll be blown home
This is a good thread - time we got it going again
What will we call it when worms take over the world ...................................
Global worming
I'll get my coat
Sun Nut? Flippin' grim here
Wasn't that submarine wonderful?!
I think it's be great for David A to be able to do all that - he's no spring chicken any more - I was at an exhibition opening where he was a guest a couple of years ago and I stood next to him for a while - he has the most beautiful skin and such a twinkly smile.
