Michelson Interferometer
In this setup, an interferometer is used to measure the wavelength of laser light. The incident beam is split into two paths, recombined, and projected on a screen. When one of the path lengths is varied, the interference pattern on the screen changes. By measuring the distance that a path length must be changed in order to achieve the original interference pattern, one can determine the wavelength of the incident light.

Talks on new rail stations at Kintore and Dalcross
- 10 February 2011
- From the section Highlands & Islands
A plan for opening new stations on the railway line between Aberdeen and Inverness are being discussed by Transport Scotland and Network Rail.
In the Scottish Parliament, Transport Minister Keith Brown said a study by Network Rail had identified the potential for two new sites.
They were Kintore in Aberdeenshire and Dalcross, near Inverness Airport.
Mr Brown said it was appropriate the discussions were held on a "complex and costly" project.
The minister was responding to questions from Liberal Democrat MSP Mike Rumbles.
Kintore's original station shut down in the 1960s.

|The continuing significance of racism --
Navigating public places --
Seeking a good education --
Navigating the middle-class workplace --
Building a business --
Seeking a good home and neighborhood --
Contending with everyday discrimination : effects and strategies --
Changing the color line : the future of U.S. racism.
|Joe R. Feagin, Melvin P. Sikes.
"One step from suicide" was the first response to Joe Feagin and Mel Sikes' question about how it feels to be middle-class and African-American. Despite the prevalent white view that racism is diminishing, this groundbreaking study exposes the depth and relentlessness of the racism that middle-class Black Americans face everyday. From the supermarket to the office, the authors show, African Americans are routinely subjected to subtle humiliations and overt hostility across white America. Based on the sometimes harrowing testimony of more than 200 Black respondents, Living with Racism shows how discrimination targets middle-class African Americans, impeding their economic and social progress, and wearying their spirit. A man is refused service in a restaurant. A woman is harassed while shopping. A little girl is taunted in a public pool by white children. These are everyday incidents encountered by millions of African Americans. But beyond presenting a litany of abuse, the authors argue that racism is deeply imbedded in American institutions and that the cumulative effect of these episodes is profoundly damaging. They argue that discrimination is experienced by their interviewees not as separate incidents, but as a process demanding their constant vigilance and shaping their personal, professional, and psychological lives. With powerful insight into the daily workings of discrimination, this important study can help all Americans confront the racism of our institutions and our culture.

This review is from: ASUS VE Series VE208T Black 20" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 ASCR 10,000,000:1
Pros: Nice clear resolution. Great monitor for gaming. Stable and speakers are good.
Cons: only have a verrrry small dead pixel dot in the middle of the screen, but it is absolutely unnoticeable and could be just shipping accident. Again, though, its unnoticeable while you are gaming or watching videos so its not a big problem. It's so small it blends in.
Other Thoughts: Recommended to people who wants a good monitor for their computer of any type. Gaming, everyday, business, etc. I give 5/5 eggs.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: iBUYPOWER Desktop PC Solaris Series NE704i Intel Core i5 3570k (3.40 GHz) 8 GB DDR3 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Pros: - Crazy, amazing graphics to gaming
- fast speed loading times
- pretty blue LED light from back fan and power supply
- BIG monster case with a side window to look at your hardware
Can play Metro: Last Light, Farcry 3, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, etc. with maxed out settings without letting the framerate drop below 30fps. Put away those consoles cause this PC can make you blow your mind of awesome.
Cons: - one usb at the front (USB 2.0) seems to be offline cause i would plug something into it and it wont load. But to me its ok causee i dont use every one of them and besides, this pc has like over 7 USBs both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. So even if one is offline, i still have others that are working. Can live without one. Not much a big deal.
- its very BIG, also not a "big" deal really.
Other Thoughts: I also bought 2 fans to install into it JUST cause i like to keep my systems cool and not overheat from long periods of gaming or 3D modeling and concepts. Yet there seems to only be one for the one blue LED fan at the back of the system. I want to know if there's a way to install two more fans into it so I can keep it cool. But yet, all in all, such a beautiful gaming PC. Fully recommended.READ FULL REVIEW

Thermoperiodism and the Thermal Environment of the Pitcher-Plant Mosquito, Wyeomyia smithii
William E. Bradshaw

Wyeomyia smithii Coq. (Diptera: Culicidae) completes its pre-adult development only within leaves of the purple pitcher-plant, Sarracenia purpurea. Between early June and mid-October in northern New York State, the daily temperature cycle in leaves lagged the photic cycle by 0-6 h and exhibited a mean daily amplitude of 14.5° C. Thermoperiod acts as a potent zeitgeber. At constant temperatures, W. smithii respond to the shorter dark period of a symmetric skeleton photoperiod as "day". However, a superimposed thermoperiod having the thermophase coincident with the longer dark period overrides this tendancy. Thermoperiods may also perturb the photoperiodic clock but W. smithii compensate for the range of phase relationships between the photic and thermal cycles observed in nature. Compared with constant temperatures, W. smithii develop more slowly but exhibit a 7-fold increase in fecundity when reared under fluctuating temperatures. The net result is a 50% greater capacity for increase in the latter regimen. These results suggest that maximum fitness in W. smithii is achieved through the action of, and not despite, thermal heterogeneity.

This review is from: SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC256D/AM 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Desktop Upgrade Kit
Pros: Super Fast.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: I upgraded the boot drive in an older dual-core Intel system maxed out at 4GB of RAM. This is the best return on investment to add to useful life without the investment of buying a new desktop.
What a difference it made in boot time and shutdown. Wow!
This review is from: Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 180 MB 3G Metallic Gray Unlocked GSM Android Smart Phone w/ 2 MP Camera / 3.0" Touchscreen 3.0" 290 MB RAM
Pros: Solid entry-level smartphone with Android OS. I like the Samsung phone touch screen sensitivity.
I was looking for an unlocked replacement phone to use on a regional GSM carrier (in my case it is Cincinnati Bell Wireless). The phone has a good set of features for basic web browsing and IP enabled applications.
I popped in my SIM card and it voice worked like a champ.
After experimenting with the settings the APN/MMS/etc, which is a bit of guesswork and Googling, the data also works great, too, and the phone does support WiFi as well.
Cons: Screen resolution is a bit low and looks kind of pixel-ish.
The phone has a cheap back plastic cover which doesn't seem to stay on tightly. Also, I'd rate the battery life a fair.
Other Thoughts: For the price, I got a good value solid mobile phone, and was able to maintain my no-contract phone plan.READ FULL REVIEW

"a scandal at its finest"
good quality reading. an interesting story. got through it in a day. don't recommend to smaller children.
it was a good book I had to listen to it for English class, the sound quality is fine
"Recording could be more animated."
The voice seemed a little lifeless sometimes. Nothing too bad. Overall, the book and listening was splendid.
"Well Performed"
I found it difficult to connect myself to Edna. Perhaps I am too naive. I was very impressed with the reader.

Religious Studies
Welcome to the Religious Studies programs at Oakland University. The university currently offers a general concentration in Religious Studies , as well as minors in Islamic Studies, Judaic Studies , and Christianity Studies . In addition, if you wish to major in Religious Studies, you may petition the college "committee on instruction" with a specialized plan of study. To explore this option, email the program director, Alan Epstein, at the following address email@example.com .
Religious Studies programs offer you the opportunity to examine the world's religions from an academic standpoint: a poignant, deep and critical examination of their beliefs and histories as well as their cultural, historical and political roles in shaping today's world. Choosing the independent major, concentration, one of the minors, or even taking several courses, enables you to tailor your electives and some of your general education and writing intensive courses to reflect personal interests. You will gain capacities that help bolster your interpersonal skills, give you a strong ethical framework for life, a stronger and more nuanced sense of self, and a better understanding of our increasingly global and interactive world.
In addition, combining a minor, concentration, or independent major with other specific degrees can enhance your career marketability. For example, pairing a minor with a degree in International Relations can make you a great candidate for government service or multinational businesses. In short, taking Religious Studies courses or adopting either an independent major, concentration, or minor enables you to learn, change and grow.
Further engagement with religion may be pursued through the associated Center for Religious Understanding.

Mooloolaba Yacht Brokers' Ross Smith said the event delivered above and beyond expectation.
'We were sceptical at first as to the value of the festival to our business since we specialise in higher end boats, cruisers and yachts,' Mr Smith said.
'From past experience boat shows on the coast have centred on the trailer boat market but we are the first to admit we are very pleasantly surprised with the weekend's results. We had people on the boats from as far as North Queensland and Sydney who had heard about the festival and had made the trip to Mooloolaba for the event. We are looking forward to following up now on the weekend's leads.'
Managing director of JD's Boat Shed, Mark Taylor credited the festival's success to location.
'This was as good an event as any we have attended this year but it was the location of this event that made it special, separating it from the pack,' Mr Taylor said.
'Being set on the water with plenty of activity happening along the river helps people appreciate the lifestyle they are buying into when they get a boat. We had plenty of serious enquiries across the weekend and have a busy few weeks ahead of us now.'
Marine Queensland is now busy planning for the 2012 Brisbane Tinnie and Tackle Show, on March 23-25 at Brisbane's RNA Showgrounds. For more information visit www.tinnieandtackle.com.au.

Before you buy this app, please read and understand the description below.
Whatsapp ghost mode allows you to use Whatsapp without a change on your timestamp ( last seen time ), so no one of your contacts will know if you are online or when was the last time you were connected to WhatsApp. This app helps enhance your privacy as well as keeping you away from some of your annoying contacts! (NO ROOT required)
How it works?
When ghost mode is active, Internet connectivity will be terminated whenever Whatsapp is active on the screen (running on the front), then, Internet connectivity will be restored whenever Whatsapp is not running on the front. That means when you enter Whatsapp while in ghost mode:
- You will NOT be able to receive messages in real time while Whatsapp is active on the screen (on the front), however, you can read messages that were received prior opening Whatsapp.
- You will NOT be able to send messages in real time while Whatsapp is active on the screen (on the front), however, if messages were sent, they will be delivered right after you exit Whatsapp or turn off the screen.

Hi John,
I too use the Avery clear address labels (Avery 5667) and print them out
with a laser printer. Works GREAT and looks very good. The disadvantage
is that the sheet of labels contain a 30 count and you should not keep
running the label through the printer multiple times. When the plant
goes into my garden, the plastic label with UniPaint pen writing goes
into the hole (be consistent where you put it so that you can find it
years later - e.g. on the north side IN the hole) and a temporary label
is placed above ground - again use the PAINT pen. When I get at least 15
or more plants that need a permanent label, I will print them out and
affix them to the permanent marker.
Hopes that this helps.
Where I am hatching chicken eggs in the basement. Fancy breeds - but
fun!! The by product of the chickens (poop) makes for good flower garden
fertilizer. Look up: Red Shouldered Yokohama and Spitzhauben.

In a collaborative study with The Economist Intelligent Unit, "The Economics of the Socially Engaged Enterprise," executives defined social engagement today as online listening, blogging, and building relationships with online influencers. But the top economic or business return performers have a different view – they will be more focused on ideas and action in the next two years. Big-return companies crowdsource new products (57%), or let customers participate in developing ideas. In fact, they are predicting a significant portion of new products will be derived from social engagement insights. This webinar from PulsePoint Group will explore best cases and practices.
Topics covered:
- Research results
- The different flavors of "crowdsourcing"
- Case studies
- What works and what doesn¹t

Best Car Wash
1. Russell Fischer Car Washes
Huntington Beach (2) and San Clemente, orangecountyhandcarwash.com
[IMAGE3]• Based in Huntington Beach, the family-owned company has been operating since 1990. O.C. locations are called Bella Terra, Huntington Beach and San Clemente carwashes.
• All detailers are certified from Meguiar's, a leading maker of premium car-care products.
• All locations are on a common communication network, meaning customers have their car's history at any location.
Why they are No. 1: Attention to detail, down to the cupholders, is woven into the culture, according to employees. The service personnel make sure all the nooks and crannies are cleaned. The employees also work as a team in a family environment. "If anything happens with one person, we all help out," said Mario Gomez, general manager of the Huntington Beach location.
Claim to fame: Russell Fischer carwashes are known for exceptional customer service, Gomez said. "I have a customer that's been coming here for 20 years, and even customers who move will come back and visit us." Gomez, who has been with the company since the beginning, said he has loyal customers who live as far away as La Mirada, Irvine and Whittier. Locations also offers maintenance services including oil changes, transmission and radiator repair and tire rotation.
Fan favorite: "They do a great job! Very detailed! I feel like I'm driving out in a new car!" – Becky Martinez, Huntington Beach
Fun fact: Celebrities and athletes, including MMA star Tito Ortiz and Hank Conger of the Angels, patronize the carwashes, according to Gomez.
2. Beacon Bay Auto Washes
Locations throughout Orange County, beaconbay.com
[IMAGE1]• The company has been lauded for its efforts to stay green and save water. "We have recycled a majority of the water since 1965, and recently that has become even more important," Vice President Katherine Utt said.
• Seniors (60 and older) and students with a valid ID receive a special price for a "soft wash."
Claim to fame: The company was founded in 1965, with its name coming from a Newport Bay housing tract. Its mission is based on protecting the region's "fragile resources and beauty," the company said. The "rainy day guarantee" promises a free car wash if rain ruins a carwash within 48 hours; a customer just has to come in for another the next day Beacon Bay is open.
Fan favorite: "They do a good job and have a friendly staff." – Fran Meder, Irvine
Fun fact: The company has been a longtime supporter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, making donations four times a year. On the first weekend of every month, volunteers from the foundation are on-site to share information with customers.
3. Metro Car Washes
2950 Harbor Blvd., Costa Mesa, 714-546-8191
18382 Beach Blvd., Huntington Beach, 714-847-8591
[IMAGE2]• The carwashes reclaim 80 percent of the water they use, and the water that is not recycled is clarified before going into the sewage system. "We spend 25 percent of the water you would spend washing your car in your driveway," said owner Malcolm Cobrink.
Claim to fame: Cobrink said there is no other carwash in Orange County with the same pride of ownership. "I have been there since 1972 and in the carwash business for 48 years," he said. The carwash has employees who have been there for close to 25 years. "I take pride in the fact that we have been able to maintain the business for all these years," Cobrink said.
Fan favorite: "They do a great job and I know they do a lot of community service." – Kathy Grayson, Murrieta
Fun fact: When Cobrink and his partner got into the business, gas sold for 29 cents per gallon, and a carwash cost $1.55.

Could reading the novels of Virginia Woolf hone the skills of a software developer?
But if anything can be treated as a plug-in, it's learning how to code. It took me 18 months to become proficient as a developer. This isn't to pretend software development is easy – those were long months, and I never touched the heights of my truly gifted peers. But in my experience, programming lends itself to concentrated self-study in a way that, say, "To the Lighthouse" or "Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction" do not. To learn how to write code, you need a few good books. To enter the mind of an artist, you need a human guide.
How about the works of Jane Austen? I'm reading Mansfield Park at the moment… it makes me feel as if I am parsing code at times.
