Counter-Strike 1.6 Win 7 low FPS problem
Hello there, im a new one here. I've read all topics related to this problem here on SevenForums but none of those has answered to my problem.
I've got a new laptop Asus N61VG-JX086V and Counter-Strike 1.6 and Source (all Steam). I tried to run Source version and it goes perfectly. However, when i try to play 1.6 version it works but just on 27-30 fps! i tried to download reforce, i set Vsync off and hl.exe is compatible with XP SP2 and furthemore, i turned off desktop composition. Nothing of these actually works. when i try to play game in "Software" instead of "OpenGL" the ftp is around 100 but its impossible to play in this regime because it s**ks balls thanks |

Have you tried typing "fps_max 101" (without the quotes) in CS 1.6's console? I think that might help with your fps a bit.

Thanks for replies.
Slash3r: I'm using my old config where fps is set to 101 so that shouldn't cause this problem. Lomai: this is my computer configuration: Intel Core i3 350m, 2,26 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GT325M 1 GB, memory: 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz, Win 7 64bit etc.. And i updated graphic driver just few days ago.. Maybe i found out what causes the problem. I have RivaTuner on both of my computers. I'm not rly sure what does it mean, but my Generic PnP Monitor on my old computer is set up according to its graphic card (nvidia geforce 250gts 1gb). But, however, Rivatuner on my laptop shows that Generic PnP Monitor is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator and the original graphic card is just set up as default monitor. As i said, im not quite sure what does this mean and if it causes the problem. How can i change these settings please? |

It appears that you have multiple drivers installed for your monitor.
What happens when you select, as an example, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 325M \ Default Monitor? Regards |

text: One year later, businesses learn lessons from derecho By Caitlin Cook June 30, 2013 Chip Ellis In the days after last year's derecho, many gas stations and grocery stores couldn't open because they didn't have power. Those that did, like the One Stop convenience store in Kanawha City, faced long lines and frustrated customers. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Rick Joseph had one of the few stores in the Charleston area that had power after last June's derecho."Ice was worth gold last year," said Joseph, who owns the Foodland in Kanawha City. "We bought all the ice we could get our hands on but still couldn't supply it."The high-powered storm that swept through the region one year ago caused widespread power outages leaving people without air conditioning in sweltering heat. People flocked to stores but found crowded aisles and low supplies of essential items like water, ice and batteries. Once gas stations regained power, long lines of cars quickly formed, with some customers waiting hours to buy what fuel they could.The derecho left businesses struggling to keep up with consumer demands. "It was very frustrating to try and keep up with the supply of water and ice, things that customers really needed with all the power outages," said Foodland manager Donna Slack.Slack said they now keep a larger supply of water."We tried to do that last year, but we got behind right to start with," Slack said. "This time we'll try and be a little bit ahead of the game."Little General Stores, a chain of convenience stores based in Beckley, lost power in 77 of their 91 stores.Since the derecho, the company has begun installing generators at stores that are in what they consider problem areas. "It seemed like every time we had any major storm, they lost power," said Brian Waugh, director of retail for Little General.So far they have installed four generators in existing stores, and when new stores open they will install a generator."When you get customers that come into your store and you can't take care of them, that frustrates us greatly," Waugh said. "It was more of a panic mood, customers were looking for direction."Waugh believes Little General Stores will be more prepared for business during the aftermath of severe weather but admits the derecho was a wake up call.Janet Vineyard, president of West Virginia Oil Marketers and Grocers Association, sits down after every crisis to evaluate businesses' responses."Every time we go through some type of crisis we learn something," Vineyard said. "But this one was different than anything we've been through." Derecho storms form rapidly, without much warning to allow businesses to prepare.Many gas stations had gas during the derecho but the pumps wouldn't operate without electricity."The fact that we had fuel but couldn't get it out of the ground was the biggest problem," Vineyard said. "It certainly changed the way we do business." Reach Caitlin Cook at email@example.com or 304-348-5113.

Dillards Fur-Lined Gloves
By Moose
from KY
Comments about Dillard's Fur-Lined Gloves:
First I would like to comment on the Headline. It should read fur cuffed gloves, for they are not lined all the way through with fur. Having said that, they are well made. The material is soft against the skin. I doubt they are very warm for really cold days, which is why I ordered them in the first place.

Did you know that you can earn your MA in Communication with just one additional year of coursework? It's true starting this Fall. The Accelerated MA Program (AMP) in Communication allows students who qualify to complete 12 credits of graduate level coursework during the fourth year of their undergraduate program -- and count those credits toward *both* their BA and MA. After just one additional year of graduate courses, students in the AMP graduate from the UofA with both a BA and MA. In other words, you can get both degrees in only 5 years.
You will need to have a 3.3 GPA in order to apply to the program, and in order to receive the full benefits you should enroll in the program when you still have at least one more full year of undergraduate courses to complete.
If you are interested in hearing more about the Accelerated MA program, look at the handouts below. If you have further questions, please contact Dr. Jake Harwood, Program Director: email@example.com.

Even during the cold Tohoku winter, Peace Winds America's recovery efforts are moving forward. In our last report we detailed the shed construction in Takihama and Nagashizu districts of Minamisanriku. PWA expects Phase IV of our ongoing fishing sheds program to conclude this spring, with fishing sheds completed and in place for seaweed harvest. The timing will coincide well with the advent of the spring fishing season. PWA will continue to update our donors on recovery of livelihoods. We remain in active discussion with our Japan partners on the still-unmet needs of displaced tsunami survivors.
Matching Campaign for the Fourth Anniversary of the Tohoku Tsunami On Tuesday, March 10th beginning at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time, Global Giving will be matching at 100% all donations to Tohoku recovery projects! Donors can double their contributions up to $1,000. Global Giving matching funds ($30,000) are available. Simply visit our project page on the day of the match and help our Tohoku recovery projects. PWA extends its gratitude to our donors who have continued to partner with us, long after the tsunami has receded from the media and the public eye. We are grateful as well to Global Giving for our long-term commitment.
Local Disaster Preparedness Events – Seattle and Sendai Two upcoming events will be of interest to our supporters and to partners still following Tohoku recovery. On Saturday, March 7, the Consulate General of Japan in Seattle and the Japan-America Society of the State of Washington will host Act with Japan, a panel discussion and community event revolving around strengthening communities after disaster. Information can be found here.
March 14-18, 2015 the Japan Government and UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction will host the UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai. PWA will be represented by Peace Winds Japan at the numerous presentations, panels, and discussions targeting lessons of Tohoku and strategies for fostering better disaster resilience.
Recovery Programs on Busuanga Make Their Mark
We at Peace Winds America wish you a good 2015! We are grateful to continue working with you as we focus on disaster recovery and reconstruction. Earlier we shared the many recovery activities on Busuanga Island: providing Typhoon Haiyan victims with home and boat repair kits, new livestock, fishing nets and ropes, farm tools and seeds, and community disaster education. These recovery activities have mostly concluded: our partners on the ground have gauging the impact and effectiveness of the program and using the results to tailor future recovery projects. Their assessment indicates a significant impact of PWA programs. All six targeted barangay still need boat repair kits, fishing nets, fishing gear, livestock, vegetable seeds, and farm tools. With your help we can implement another recovery program.
A Focus on Disaster Preparedness
In PWA programs, we engage in disaster preparedness of the Philippines as a whole. Working with Government and non-profit partners, we are assessing responses to Typhoon Haiyan and Typhoon Hagupit. In partnership with key allies (Philippines, U.S. and Japan), we are improving future planning and response. From local relief and recovery efforts to our multi-year initiative on disaster preparedness, PWA remains involved and committed with the Philippines to reduce the devastating impact of natural disasters.
We extend our gratitude for your support. We ask you to continue to join us in Philippine recovery.
An Update on Fishing Shed Construction in Minamisanriku--Tohoku
Phase IV of the Peace Winds America fishing sheds program is proceeding smoothly. This year our partners had to contend with new natural hazards in addition to the yearly freeze that poses difficulty for construction. Typhoons Phanfone and Vongfong swept across Japan dropping record amounts of rainfall and bringing powerful wind gusts. Yet our program remains on track and will deliver sheds to fourteen more fishing families--tsunami victims. In Takihama and Nagashizu districts, we have completed the shed foundations and are ready to begin construction.
Peace Winds America to date has completed over 100 fishing sheds. These semi-permanent sheds provide work and storage space for local fishermen. Our program has targeted tsunami survivors still living in temporary housing who wish to return to the fishing industry.
From Tohoku, we welcome good news! In October during the height of oyster season, the Minamisanriku fishermen in the Togura section caught particularly large, plump oysters. With many Miyagi Prefecture fishermen reporting undersized oyster catches, we are delighted that Minamisanriku will benefit from the higher prices its jumbo oysters bring. Our fishing sheds provide a base of operations to capitalize on this good news.
Gratitude at the Year End
As we bid farewell to 2014, PWA expresses its sincere gratitude to our supporters. We deeply appreciate those who have helped us keep our long-term commitment to Tohoku.

Mischa Barton posts topless vacation photo in Greece, censors herself
No shirt, no shoes, no problem! Mischa Barton ditched her top while on vacation in Greece on Tuesday. The O.C. alum posed topless in jeans overlooking the Greek Island of Mykonos.
"Island vibes, #Mykonos #Censored," she captioned the pic in which she blurred out her nipple to adhere to Instagram's policies.
The former Dancing With the Stars contestant seems to be embracing her body lately. On Monday she posted a photo of herself in bed wearing underwear and an unbuttoned denim shirt that showed off plenty of cleavage.
"Morning vibes !!! Monday lets do this. Hope everyone has a wonderful week Xoxo," she captioned the pic.
Despite her confidence, Barton did get in a bit of trouble last week when she posted a now-deleted photo to Instagram of herself in a bikini with her eyes closed.

The caption called for justice for Alton Sterling and other innocent victims who died at the hands of the police. But many followers found the message and the photo to clash, calling the post "insensitive."
Barton later deleted the image and posted more fitting messages, including a photo of Sterling's family using "#JusticeForAltonSterling" and a photo of a sign that read, "If you are not angry you are not paying attention."

Today I'm working on cooking an Indian dish and to make it I need a very special spice blend that I will be showing you how to make today. It's used in many Indian dishes and it is no less then delicious. The dish I'm making this for is Palak Paneer which is a mixture of spinach and paneer cheese that also includes garam masala. To start we need these ingredients.
- ¼ cup of whole coriander seeds
- ¼ cup of whole cumin seeds
- 1 heaping tablespoon of whole green cardamom pods
- 2- 2 inch cinnamon sticks (broken into small pieces)
- 1 tablespoon of whole black peppercorns
- 1 ½ teaspoons of whole cloves
- A clean coffee grinder
- A heavy cast iron skillet
Now we can start on our garam masala spice blend. Garam masala is a highly aromatic spice blend which is classic to north India. It consists of several roasted and ground spices. Garam means warm or hot, and masala means spice or blend of spices. The spices you will need are: 1 quarter of a cup of whole coriander seeds, 1 quarter cup of whole cumin seeds, 1 heaping tablespoon of whole green cardamom pods, 2 2-inch cinnamon sticks broken into small pieces, 1 tablespoon of whole black peppercorns, and 1 and one half teaspoons of whole cloves. You will also need a heavy cast iron skillet. Put your cast iron skillet on your stove element. Heat over medium low heat for a few minutes until it is hot. Once your skillet is nice and hot, it's time to add in all of these wonderful spices. Slowly dry roast the spices stirring occasionally until they become very aromatic and you notice they have darkened a few shades. When you think they are finished, transfer them to a plate and let them cool completely.
You can use a spoon to mix them around a little on the plate to help with the cooling process. Once your spice mixture is cooled completely it's time to take out your clean coffee grinder that you use only for spices. You can grind your spices in batches if you need too but if your coffee grinder is large enough you can just spoon the whole mixture in. Now you just grind up the mixture until it resembles the right consistency you're looking for in your garam masala. I suggest you press the button a few seconds at a time so you can keep an eye on it. When it's done it should be a very, very fine blend that looks like you bought it in the store. Garam masala can be stored in an airtight container for up to three months so your left over spice won't need to be thrown in the organics bin; you'll be able to use it many times to come. Garam masala is a spice blend that can be tweaked in different ways. Many cooks like to add a little less or a little more of the different spices to have it taste how they desire. Your garam masala is ready for use.

Cool we got Daily Feature and Weekly 3rd Place!
Thank you for all your feedbacks, though I'm not replying all of it, but I read it all :)
Extremely addicting game, Everyone should try this at least once. The game starts slow but it only gets funner and funner with time!
Great game, a much needed addition to the first INfectonator, which I loved.
Runs very slow on my pc tho, might be an issue with me but I'm going to guess it's a optimiation issue with the game, considering my PC plays Cryssis 3.
I'd really, REALLY like to see a fully fleshed out game released to steam, maybe $15-$20 range, with a lot more extra zombies (maybe the ability to customize your hot bar to make a combination of a lot of different support items and special zombies) and a ton of levels, could definitely see my self paying for that, maybe even get a kickstarter going if you guys needed funding.
On that note, the $4.99 price for some extra zombies is a bit ridiculous for a flash game.

Fantastic! Here was the feedback from the recipient: " they did such a nice job of stacking up the chocolate boxes and wrapping with a nice red ribbon and gift card - it was very professional and nicely done".
Easy for me because I did not have the hassle of having to pack it and mail it to Japan myself (expensive). " A Walker - USA - Jul 13, 2015 "I had a last minute idea to send my friend in Belize a birthday gift basket. As a first time customer, I am delighted with the service. It was delivered right on time and my friend loved it. I especially loved the handwritten note with my message that was included because it gave the basket a personalized touch, as if I'd written it myself. I will definitely be using this company again." Dinorah Blackman - Panama - Dec 11, 2014 "Thank you for doing such fine work! I appreciate what you have done.

I placed on a Saturday night and it was delivered to my friend on Sunday. I was amazed how quick it was. I just placed my 2nd order on May 3rd another Saturday night and again it was delivered the next day. My friend loved it. Her Mom is going in the hospital for surgery so I just wanted to give them some joy. They forgot to put my card with the message with gift. It really was not a problem but they really stepped up and the next day brought my friend a complimentary box of chocolates. That was a great gesture and I will be using gift baskets solely and will recommend to anyone that will be shipping abroad."

About the Artist
Though he preferred to be called a realist, Edgar Degas (1834–1917) was one of the founders of impressionism, an organizer of the group's exhibitions, and one of its most important core members. He shared with the impressionists an interest in modern life—in Paris' dance halls and cabarets, its racetracks, its opera and ballet stages. But his work was deliberate and controlled, painted in the studio from sketches, notes, and memory. In racehorses and ballet dancers he found the kind of movement that fascinated him most: not free and spontaneous, but precise and disciplined.
This National Gallery of Art magnet set is adapted from Edgar Degas's Little Dancer Aged Fourteen (1878‒1881). Two magnets show the sculpture from two different angles.
Executed in wax and dressed in a ballerina's tutu, Little Dancer Aged Fourteen (1878‒1881) caused a sensation when it was exhibited in 1881. Modeled in a colored wax and adorned with real hair and a fabric costume, Little Dancer broke with 19th-century academic practice by introducing unusual mixed materials and representing a provocative modern subject. It is the only sculpture Edgar Degas exhibited publicly.
The young dancer stands posed in a casual fourth position, her back arched, belly forward, hands clasped tightly behind her back. For Degas, she represented the tension inherent in the life of the young dancer, displaying both the awkwardness of youth and the graceful promise of a great ballerina.

It's official: One of Kansas University's top administrators is out of the running for the presidency of the University of Alabama-Huntsville.
Word has been circulating in recent weeks on campus that Jim Roberts, vice provost for research, wasn't offered the UAH job. But Roberts referred questions about the search to UAH officials, who didn't make a formal announcement until Friday.
Roberts said he'd known for weeks that the job offer was going to the other finalist, David B. Williams of Lehigh University, but that he wasn't comfortable talking about it publicly because he figured it was for UAH leaders to announce.
Roberts said he was honored to be named a finalist for the job but is happy to stay at KU.

The fight to end open defecation in India
The Indian government has brought toilets to millions but many still suffer poor sanitation
Geeta Devi standing near her house in the Mukundpur slum in New Delhi. Around half of the community's 200,000 residents defecate in the open. (ucanews.com photo)
November 21, 2016
Braving the early morning winter chill, Geeta Devi wakes at 4 am and walks nearly a kilometer to find a bush or piece of farm land to relieve herself before everyone in the area gets up.
Devi is accompanied by her two daughters because they do not have the luxury of a toilet. The place where they go is the home of rats and snakes. Drunken men have raped women there.
"It is not a problem for men but we need privacy and safety, which is why we get up very early. It is becoming a concern for me since my daughters are growing up," Devi, who works as a domestic worker, told ucanews.com.
Devi, who lives in the Mukundpur slum on the outskirts of the Indian capital New Delhi, said her earnings along with those of her husband, who irons clothes for a living, is not enough to construct a toilet at home.
"We have to look after two daughters and two sons. Where is the money to build the toilet on this meager income?" said Devi, whose total family income amounts to 8,000 rupees (US$119) a month.
Devi is not alone. Out of 200,000 people living in the slum, half lack this basic facility. Some have constructed temporary toilets with no roof and an old curtain in place of a door.
These temporary toilets do not have proper sewage disposal systems and the excreta flows into open drains, leading to unhygienic conditions in the area.
Meena Devi, who has a temporary toilet at home, said that besides the safety and hygiene problems with open defecation, the lack of open spaces is also a serious concern.
"There are not many fields. Houses are coming up fast on empty stretches of land. There are also no public toilets in the area. Survival is becoming difficult," she said.
More than half of the 800 million people who live in rural India defecate in the open because only 45 percent of them have access to a toilet. The figure is higher in urban areas, about 88 percent, according to a 2015 report by the National Sample Survey Office.
Ending open defecation in India is one of the priorities of the Indian government. They aim to eliminate it by 2019.
There has been some success already. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in October declared all 180 cities and towns in Gujarat state and all 110 cities and towns in Andhra Pradesh state to be free of open defecation.
Over 9.7 million individual toilets have been constructed by the government across the country with Rajasthan topping the list with over 1.9 million new toilets followed by West Bengal with over 1.2 million.
Chetnalaya, the social service wing of Delhi Archdiocese, along with the international Christian housing organization, Habitat, is helping Delhi's urban poor access this basic facility.
Chetnalaya is carrying out a survey in the slums to identify the houses that need a toilet so Habitat can build them. So far, 54 houses in the Mukundpur slum and 45 households in a slum near Jafrabad have been earmarked for the service.
"Hygiene and sanitation is a problem in the slums. Due to open defecation and improper sewage facilities, people contract vector-borne diseases like Chikungunya, dengue and malaria," Nakul Kumar, co-ordinator of Chetnalaya in the Jafrabad slum, told ucanews.com.
Deepa Devi, Chetnalaya's coordinator in the Mukundpur slum, told ucanews.com that people are aware of the harmful affects of open defecation but do not have any choice.
"That is where we pitch in and help with something they really need," she added.
Neha Kumari, whose house is one of those identified in the survey, told ucanews.com that she is thankful to God that somebody has come forward to help her, "otherwise we would not have been able to do it with our limited resources."
"It is good for our health and that of the neighborhood," she added.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.33 / 5.00 6,274 ViewsWelcome to the first animated cooking show hosted by an appetizer. Deep Fried, Live! with Tako the Octopus is an entertaining, enlightening, and often dangerous look at the mysteries and methodology of modern food preparation. It's the ultimate culinary spectacle, offering secret ingredients (that refuse to be cooked), in depth cooking science, printable recipes, and direct links to the latest cookware and ingredients. It's also a thorough exploration of how much damage one octopus can do with an unlimited supply of kitchen artillery.
Nice work!
I don't review movies unless they are really good. So one should be honored to recieve one from me in the first place. However, I must say, this movie is truly something to behold. I've never seen such an interactive movie that mixed humor and education so well. I learned a LOT about cooking from this movie. You really seem like you've done your homework on this stuff. Are you a chef on the side, or what? Anyway, this was funny, educational, interactive, mildly violent (in a comical way), so what more can I say? 10 for this one.
My first 10!!!!
Almost 100 reviews in, and this movie is what I deem worthy of my first ten score. I mean as well as being funny as hell and having lots of cool options, I actually learned how to cook at the same time. I hope this is going to turn into a whole series of animated cookery programmes, cos I could see them getting a lot of 10's! Well fucking done on such a brilliant hardworking effort.
Woo Hoo
That was hilarious, one of the best things I have ever seen on New Grounds... That Octopus is one funny appetizer.
Screw the people who'll say it's too big...
VERY funny, VERY entertaining, lots of bells and whistles, beautifully done. Of course, I love Iron Chef, so maybe that has something to do with why I liked this so much. I really wanna see more!

Hey all, just to let you know that we had some stuff stolen out of the barn at Swinburne this weekend. We had a dozen beers, a bottle or two of wine and an iPod nicked. Yes, it was foolish to leave the iPod hidden under some cloths on one of the beds but for future visitors, it probably a good idea to lock all your valuables in your car.
Not sure what you can do about the beer though especially if you want it cold...

Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 6e Chapter 40 - Introduction to Quantum Physics
This figure shows two stars in the constellation Orion. Betelgeuse appears to glow red, while Rigel looks blue in color. Which star has a higher surface temperature? 12345 1.Betelgeuse 2.Rigel 3.They both have the same surface temperature. 4.Impossible to determine.
A very hot star will have its peak in the blackbody intensity distribution curve at wavelengths shorter than the visible. As a result, more blue light is emitted than red light.
While standing outdoors one evening, you are exposed to the following four types of electromagnetic radiation: yellow light from a sodium street lamp, radio waves from an AM radio station, radio waves from an FM radio station, and microwaves from an antenna of a communications system. Rank these types of waves in terms of increasing photon energy, lowest first. 12345 1.sodium light, AM, FM, microwave 2.AM, FM, sodium light, microwave 3.AM, FM, microwave, sodium light 4.microwave, sodium light, AM, FM
The order of photon energy will be the same as the order of frequency. See Figure 34.12 for a pictorial representation of electromagnetic radiation in order of frequency.
Consider one of the curves shown in this figure. Suppose the intensity of the incident light is held fixed but its frequency is increased. The stopping potential in the figure: 12345 1.remains fixed 2.moves to the right 3.moves to the left
When the frequency is increased, the photons each carry more energy, so a stopping potential larger in magnitude is required for the current to fall to zero.
Note that for any given scattering angle θ, Equation 40.11 (seen below) gives the same value for the Compton shift for any wavelength. Keeping this in mind, for which of the following types of radiation is the fractional shift in wavelength at a given scattering angle the largest? 12345 1.radio waves 2.microwaves 3.visible light 4.x-rays
The shift Δλ is independent of λ. Thus, the largest fractional shift will correspond to the smallest wavelength.
We have discussed two wavelengths associated with the electron—the Compton wavelength and the de Broglie wavelength. Which is an actual physical wavelength associated with the electron? 12345 1.the Compton wavelength 2.the de Broglie wavelength 3.both wavelengths 4.neither wavelength
The Compton wavelength (Section 40.3) is a combination of constants and has no relation to the motion of the electron. The de Broglie wavelength (Eq. 40.15) is associated with the motion of the electron through its momentum.
As an analogy to wave packets, consider an "automobile packet" that occurs near the scene of an accident on a freeway. The phase speed is analogous to the speed of individual automobiles as they move through the backup caused by the accident. The group speed can be identified as the speed of the leading edge of the packet of cars. For the automobile packet, 12345 1.the group speed is the same as the phase speed. 2.the group speed is less than the phase speed. 3.the group speed is greater than the phase speed.
The group speed is zero because the leading edge of the packet remains fixed at the location of the accident.
As another analogy to wave packets, consider a "runner packet" that occurs at the start of a footrace of length L. As the runners begin the race, the packet of runners spreads in size as the faster runners outpace the slower runners. The phase speed is the speed of a single runner, while we can identify the group speed v g as the speed with which the average position of the entire packet of runners moves. The time interval for the winning runner to run the race is 12345 1.greater than L/v g. 2.equal to L/v g. 3.less than L/v g.
The phase speed of the winning runner is larger than the average speed of all the runners, so the time interval for the winning runner is less than L/v g.
The location of a particle is measured and specified as being exactly at x = 0, with zero uncertainty in the x direction. How does this affect the uncertainty of its velocity component in the y direction? 12345 1.It does not affect it. 2.It makes it infinite. 3.It makes it zero.
The uncertainty principle relates uncertainty in position and velocity along the same axis. The zero uncertainty in position along the x axis results in infinite uncertainty in its velocity component in the x direction, but it is unrelated to the y direction.
A quantum argument for the phenomenon of diffraction of light claims that photons passing through a narrow slit have been localized to the width of the slit. Because we have gained information about their position, they must have a larger uncertainty in momentum along the plane of the screen in which the slit is cut. Thus, the photons gain momentum perpendicular to their original direction of propagation and spread out, forming on a screen a bright area that is wider than the slit. Suppose we are observing diffraction of light and suddenly Planck's constant drops to half its previous value. This quantum argument for diffraction would claim that 12345 1.the bright area on the screen is unchanged. 2.the bright area on the screen becomes wider. 3.the bright area on the screen becomes narrower.
According to the uncertainty principle, if Planck's constant is smaller, the uncertainty in momentum can be smaller and the momentum perpendicular to the original direction of propagation would be smaller. Note that classical wave theory does not include Planck's constant, so it would predict no effect.

GLAAD rips actor Kirk Cameron for remarks on homosexuality
LOS ANGELES, March 4 (TheWrap.com) - Former "Growing Pains" star Kirk Cameron's negative comments on homosexuality and gay marriage, made Friday on CNN's "Pier Morgan Tonight," have drawn a rapid response from GLAAD.
Cameron said he thought homosexuality was "unnatural."
"I think that it's detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization," the actor told Morgan.
Cameron, who is an evangelical Christian, also spoke out against gay marriage.
"Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve. One man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don't think anyone else should either," Cameron said. "So do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don't."
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation issued a statement Saturday in response to the actor's appearance on the CNN program.
"In this interview, Kirk Cameron sounds even more dated than his 1980s TV character," Herndon Graddick, senior director of programs at GLAAD, wrote "Cameron is out of step with a growing majority of Americans, particularly people of faith who believe that their gay and lesbian brothers and sisters should be loved and accepted based on their character and not condemned because of their sexual orientation."
Graddick also addressed Cameron's remarks regarding gay marriage.
"With an increasing number of states recognizing marriage equality, Americans are seeing that marriage is about committed couples who want to make a lifelong promise to take care of and be responsible for each other and that gay and lesbian couples need equal security and legal protections. That's not 'redefining' anything."
In brief remarks to TMZ Saturday night, Morgan called Cameron "brave" to voice his beliefs. Morgan said he feels Cameron "was honest to what he believed" even if most people find his views to be "antiquated."

The FruitSave Project is a local gleaning program that organizes volunteers to harvest backyard fruit that would otherwise go to waste. This naturally grown fruit is shared between the homeowner, the pickers, the Valley's many emergency food providers, and CGC's programs, such as our cooking classes.
Please note, the 2016 FruitSave season will commence this June. Stay tuned for updates and details. If you are interested in become a FruitSave volunteer or if you have a fruit tree that needs picking, please submit your online application today (see green buttons below!).
95% of the food we eat on Vancouver Island is brought in by ferry, often after travelling thousands of kilometers, and yet we have one of the finest climates for growing food in Canada. Backyard fruit trees in the Valley offer tonnes of nutritious food every year, but much of it falls to the ground uneaten. Now there is a way to get this fruit to those who need it most, and to learn how easy it can be to feed ourselves with beautiful, wholesome, Cowichan-grown food!
Homeowners get their fruit trees picked and windfall apples gathered for free and are left with 1/3 of the harvest. Not only will their yards be cleaner, but they can also feel satisfied that the fruit from their trees will help many people throughout the community.
Harvesters can enjoy some sunshine and gentle exercise with a friend while picking and then take home 1/3 of the fruit if they wish.
The Community benefits from donation of fresh, local food. The FruitSave Project supports many organizations, such as:
CGC would like to create as many opportunities to harvest fruit as possible. In order to do so we need people to lead teams of pickers. Please let us know if you can help! CGC will connect Team Leads with trees in their area, and help to coordinate each pick.
Here's what is involved:
If you'd like to get involved, or have questions about this great project, please contact the FruitSave Team, at email@example.com
Before Your Plate The Before Your Plate program is getting ready to run its Second Term from January 10th to April 13th, 2017. Interviews are still taking place until January 10th. Applicants interested in applying can contact Alyssa Loucks at alyssa@c …

There was this single agent from "Federation Security", yes - delivering McCoy straight to a Starfleet gaol! If anything, I'd count that as a further strike against the existence of a civilian police force in the Federation. They have this Secret Service or whatnot, yes, but it appears to have nothing to do with everyday policing. Timo Saloniemi
I figure this guy usually works the lobby downtown at the Federation Building, checking ID's. Starfleet security was short handed and asked him to walk across the street to the bar and bring McCoy back. Basically, he's a mall cop.
Thing is, a lot of the timeit simply slows the plot down too much if everyone on the show is intelligent. So for the sake of the plot, all bad guys, or at the very least anyone who isn't a main character has to be overwhelmingly incompetant. The audience wants entertainment, not realism. Realism is boring. The main reason the MACOs were shows to be competant was because that was their purpose, they were meant to be the ultimate unbeatable ass kicking squad. Well, those guys had coloured stripes on their uniforms indicating they were't all security. There were command and science officers mixed in as well. Logically, since these were combat situations everyone was required to get into combat gear fight the enemy, regardless of their specialities. Just like in the actual military.
If a United States Navy Commander were delivered to Quantico Marine Corps Brig, does that preclude him from having been arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation? The detention agency doesn't imply anything about the arresting agency. Actually seeing a civilian police agency engaging in policing actions is a strike against their existence? Strange world you live in. That may have been the original intent, but that changed over time. And even at the start, the Federation was never quite just an alliance -- alliances don't get their own dedicated military like Starfleet. There's no such thing as the United Nations Army, after all. NATO is just a puppet of the United States, and the United Nations is the puppet of the P-5. Neither one is capable of the kinds of sovereign political actions we have seen the Federation engage in. Also: The word you are looking for is "sovereign state," not "nation-state." A nation-state is a sovereign state explicitly designed to encompass the territory and citizenry of a nation -- and no, "nation" is not a synonym for "country" or "sovereign state." A nation is actually a large group of people sharing a common culture, language, and imagined history. Thus, a nation-state is when a sovereign state is designed for a nation -- the French Republic for the French nation; the Kingdom of Norway for the Norwegian nation; etc. Some nations have no states -- the Kurdish nation is quite real but there is no Republic of Kurdistan. And some states encompass multiple nations -- the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland compasses the English, Scottish, Welsh, and (part of) Irish nations. Etc. The Federation is clearly a multinational sovereign state.
Sci, you are of course correct on the terminilogy. I also read the post you linked. Nice analysis of the situation, though I do not necessarily agree with all of your conclusions. However, it is clear that the Federation has become more unified and the central authority getting more power over the years (both real years and fiction years). This makes perfect sense to me. Star Trek has always been focused on Starfleet, a federal institution, and we get much less information how things work outside of it. I'd assume there to be all sorts of political struggles going on between the member worlds that we never hear about. Even though UFP is has clearly more powerful federal institutions than EU, I still feel that EU is a better analogy for it than US. All these different worlds with different histories and applying for the membership reminds me of EU. Also, it is true that the Federation Council seems to have a lot of power, but we know very little of how it is elected and how it operates. If for example it has appointed representatives from each member world and decisions that would introduce binding new laws on the member worlds would require unanimous vote, then in practice the Federation could not impose laws on its members against their will.
But why would Pressman name drop Starfleet Security and the Admiral heading it up if Security didn't have some sort of oversight in the matter? Later we have this exchange Are Intelligence and Security basically the same Department in Starfleet?
Sci, one more thing about the old thread (I do not want to resurrect an years old thread.) Federation president might be elected by the council rather than by a popular election. There certainly are countries where it works like that. For example, the German president is elected by Federal Convention, which is composed of the German parliament and state electors.
Of course the main problem with that idea is the dialog actually used in the episodes. In the 23rd century (according to Kirk in TOS) the Federation is an "alliance." In the 26th century (according to Daniels in ENT) the Federation is an "alliance." The Federation is never once directly referred to as either a "sovereign state," or even a "State." It is (again) twice directly called an alliance. The governing body of the Federation, the Council, is never once referred to as a Legislature, or a Parliament, or a Congress. NATO however does have a Parliament. The NATO Parliamentary Assembly consists of 257 delegates from the 28 NATO member countries. The Chairman of the American Delegation is Congressman Mike Turner, a representative from Ohio. NATO isn't a "sovereign state." Nor is it exactly like the Federation of course, but both NATO and the Federation are forms of alliances. And yes yes yes there are numerous differences between the two alliances.. The Federation is clearly not a multinational sovereign state.
Thank you for your kind words, Longinus! I would suggest that culturally, the Federation is more akin to the European Union, but that in terms of its political structures, the Federation is more akin to the United States or Canada. For what it's worth, the novels have established that each Federation Member State retains a single Federation Councillor, to be chosen in such manner as that Member State shall determine. The full Federation Council is then presided over by the Federation President, who appoints Federation Councillors to each of the various committes (called "sub-councils") with the consent of the full Council. An Act of Council requires the President's signature to become law, and can be vetoed by the President. The President may preside over sessions of the sub-councils, and is expected to work closely with the relevant sub-councils on a given issue. So the relationship between the President and Council is a sort of combination of the U.S. President-Congress relationship and the U.K. Prime Minister-Parliament relationship. The novels are of course non-canonical and may be superseded by later canonical works. But that unless Star Trek Into Darkness contains an extended sequence where Spock muses on the inner workings of the Federation Council, that seems unlikely. This is possible, but I think the canonical evidence suggests it is implausible. It would, for instance, be nigh-impossible to coordinate the governments of 150+ worlds in a timely fashion during a foreign policy crisis if each had a veto over the Acts of Council; that would make things like the Federation Council's decision to condemn the Klingon invasion of the Cardassian Union in 2372 (DSN: "The Way of the Warrior") nearly impossible to reach. Similarly, there's no evidence that the Federation government obtained instructions from any of its Member governments during the Khitomer conspiracy crisis in Star Trek VI, when it decided to conclude a peace treaty. Well, the thing is, the President of the United Federation of Planets isn't really analogous to the President of the Federal Republic of Germany. The German Presidency is mostly ceremonial; as with most parliamentary systems, the head of state is not the head of government. Real power lives with the Chancellor. The Federation President, on the other hand, has been seen demonstrating his power as head of government in addition to head of state; it was President Ra-ghoratreii who decided whether or not the Federation would invade Klingon space to rescue Kirk and McCoy in TUC, for instance, and President Jaresh-Inyo who decided to declare a de facto state of martial law on Earth in DSN's "Homefront." The term for a head of government chosen by the legislature rather than by popular election is "Prime Minister." The only government I can think of off the bat where a head of government is also the head of state and is chosen by the legislature is South Africa -- and the South African President is only chosen by the Parliament because the modern presidency is a direct descendent of the former South African Prime Ministership. South Africa is very much unusual in that regard. So if the Federation head of government were chosen by the Council, that presents the question of why it's called President of the United Federation of Planets rather than Prime Minister of the United Federation of Planets (or Chancellor, or Taoiseach, or Premier, or First Minister, or any of the other terms for a head of government who is not head of state). It's not impossible, but I also think it presents an unanswered question. In one episode where he's simplifying things for aliens. In which episode? Meanwhile, the fact of the matter is that the Federation is shown to possess all of the powers and to enact all of the powers of a sovereign state. Alliances can't put their members under de facto martial law, nor declare war, nor give up sovereign territory to a foreign state, nor enact domestic legislation, nor possess sovereign territory, nor possess their own militaries (with their own courts-martial), nor have their own regular systems of courts. Is a consultative interparliamentary organization, not a parliament in its own right. It brings together MPs from different countries to foster awareness of one-another's parliamentary systems and cultures, to help foster unity within the alliance. It is, in other words, the parliamentary equivalent of a Rotary Club. It is not a parliament, does not possess its own MPs, and cannot pass any laws.
I guess the Starfleet Ground Combat and Operations Division (you did say I can call them whatever I wanted ) only briefly existed during the fleet build up when tensions with the Klingons were on the rise.
For whatever it's worth, those Starfleet troops in DSN: "Nor the Battle to the Strong" and DSN: "The Seigh of AR-558" were in the novels identified as regular troops wearing a type of uniform called "SOBs" -- Surface Operations, Black.
I do not think it is necessarily wise to make too direct analogies with modern forms of government to an interplanetary organisation in hundreds of years in future. It will by necessity work pretty differently. For example I really don't think that the title of the leader really tells us much about his or her duties or the menthod of election. In any case I believe that UFP started as a looser UN or EU like alliance and over the years the union grew tighter. The president probably started out as a Secretary General like figure.
I mean, it's almost certainly a looser federal union than modern governments, sure. But we've seen it possess and exercise all of the same powers of a sovereign state -- powers that the European Union and other alliances just do not possess. If anything, that should be the one area that is most instructive. There are enough different terms for heads of state and government that we should be able to infer the duties and methods of the Federation's leader intended by the Federation's founders. It makes no sense to presume they'd call it one thing when it's actually another. Well, the most I can say canonically is that the bio screen in "In A Mirror, Darkly, Part II" said that Jonathan Archer served as President of the Federation in 2184, not Secretary-General of the United Federation of Planets. I agree that the Federation probably gained more centralized authority over the course of time, though.
It is quite possible that the UFP president was originallly the President of the Federation Council. The President of European Council is often referred as 'President of EU' both in casual conversation and media.
It is possible, but there is no evidence indicating such. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home simply establishes the office's full name to be President of the United Federation of Planets.
Just my two cents, but I think that while you might not be able to cross-train a security officer to be a soldier, you could cross-train a soldier to be a security officer. Otherwise you got a bunch of guys on your starship sitting around with their thumbs up their butts waiting for some action, and getting pretty antsy whilst doing so. This was kind of the situation in "Enterprise", but that was understandable due to the emergency nature of the circumstances that brought them on the ship in the first place. I can see a need for a "Quick-reaction" force along with, say the Voyager taskforce described in recent novels when you need a job done that regular security types wouldn't be up to.
Kirk was speaking to to an representative of a technological space-fairing society, not a caveman. How would it be simplifying things to use a term that was incorrect? Kirk's "I speak for a vast alliance ..." could have easily been replaced with simply (if he want to simplify things) the phrase "vast state." For Kirk to use the term alliance, if the Federation were not one, could have caused problems with any future relationship with the Melkot. Speaking with the Melkot in first contact, Kirk accurately referred to the Federation as an alliance. Azati Prime, when Archer asks Daniels directly about the Federation, Daniels refers the the species of the Federation being "... all unified in a powerful alliance." Not a powerful interstellar state. Alliances can't put their members under de facto martial law On the world where the Federation government was only. Special case. When Betazed was invaded, we heard nothing of martial law being declared on that planet by the Federation President, which would have been an obvious action. if the President could do it on any of the member worlds. If the state of Maine were invaded, one of the first thing the US Congress would do is declare martial law in the state. But, they do possess this power. (Article I, Section 8, Clause 15, of the US Constitution, Congress [can] provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union ...) nor declare war While the Federation has engaged in warfare many times, neither the Federation Council, nor the President, has never been seen (or heard) to declared war. nor give up sovereign territory to a foreign state The strip of territory between the Federation and the Cardassians was contested territory that the two groups were fight over possession of, it wasn't "sovereign territory" for either until after they agreed to divide it up. nor enact domestic legislation Oh God, are you talking about the speed limit thing again? Recently my parent's home owner association set a speed limit on a nearby lake. nor possess sovereign territory The multiple territories of the various sovereign members of the Federation, plus additional territorial claims by the alliance. nor possess their own militaries Providing for a common defense would be one of the primary reasons for forming a alliance in the first place. So, the Federation possessing all of the powers of a sovereign state, and to enact all of the powers of a sovereign state, no.

The small pickup truck market has been on rough times. The Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier are venerable trucks, but long in the tooth. The Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota are long gone. Sure, the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon are back, but they didnt really live up to the billing, and to get one that is even enjoyable to drive, you have to spend full-size-pickup money. How did we get here?
But if "here" for you is just about any other continent, the compact truck rocking. Depending on the market and the currency, these trucks can get pretty pricey, but if you value having capability in a smaller (sometimes more attractive) package, these pickups will make you wish you lived abroad:
Fiat Strada
fiat strada
Will the Strada tow like an F-150, Ram, or Silverado? No, but on the tight streets of a Tuscan village, the Strada would be able to whisk your heirloom tomatoes to market, and return with a truck load of supplies. This 'Ute is not big and burly like an American truck, but how many pickups have been penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro? (The same guy who designed the DeLorean DMC-12, BMW M1, Lotus Esprit S1, and too many Alfas and Maseratis to count)
Volkswagen Amarok
00-vw amarok
In America, the most rugged vehicle in the VW stable is the Touareg SUV, but elsewhere, the Amarok is a mid-size pickup that actually stands larger than many of its competitors. The word "Amarok" supposedly means "Wolf" in Inuit, and this wolf gets either a 2.-liter turbocharged gas, or 2-liter diesel engine. And unlike many of its American counterparts, this pickup actually has the option of a manual transmission. (Many other international trucks have stick shift options)
A long time ago, the Hilux and the American-sold Toyota Pickup were nearly the same vehicle. This video is not only one of the most iconic Top Gear skits of all time, it is an incredible homage to the indestructibility of the Hilux. Today, the Hilux is a far more sophisticated vehicle, but still maintains its rugged roots. It is actually based on the same chassis as the Toyota 4Runner, and is sold in Australia, Europe, South Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Ford Ranger
The U.S. Ranger went largely unchanged for years. To tool up a replacement would have been too expensive. As a result, the American model was long-in-the-tooth, yet cheap, so sales were strong well into its final years. But the international Ranger is an upscale, attractive vehicle, with an interior that looks more attractive than that of any truck available in the States.
Ford Performance Vehicles Cobra Ute
fpv cobra
You've always wanted a Shelby-branded pickup, right? For a while we had the SVT, and the idle promise that was the Tremor, but in Australia, they have the FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles) Pursuit Cobra. It has a car-like ride, a big pickup bed, that great dual-racing-stripe look…oh and a 5.4-liter V8 that makes 404 horsepower and 398 lb-ft.
Nissan Navara
nissan nivara
Up until 2014, the Navara and the Frontier were closely related. We haven't heard one word about a new Frontier coming to the U.S. market, but overseas, the new Navara was released last year. It is a much sleeker design, and a competition model is running in a number of races, including the Coupe Ralleye Quebec series and the South African ASBA Off-Road series.
Chevrolet Colorado
00-chevrolet colorado concept
The U.S.-spec Colorado is finally back, but it feels like a rolling compromise, but the Holden Colorado is made for real work. It features a push bar and something that American buyers are still waiting for…a diesel engine.
