The objective of this book is to raise additional funds for the Hougoumont restoration project. The short stories, poem and the artwork for the cover have kindly been contributed without any payment in support of the restoration project. The stories are a selection of those submitted to the adult and young writers' Tavistock Music and Arts Festival Waterloo Short Story competition.
The results of this competition were announced by Professor Richard Holmes on Saturday, 23rd April 2011, during the festival.
The brief for the competition was a challenging one. The adult category had a word limit of 1,500 words and the young writers only 800 words. The judges have marked the competition according to various criteria including factual accuracy, ability to create a sense of time and place and to write an engrossing story with interesting and believable characters. They have already commented on the high standard of the stories and the amazing amount of research and care which the contributors have taken to provide accurate detailed information and to convey this in an interesting and informative manner. The styles and themes chosen vary, but are all engaging and demonstrate a keen awareness of the events that took place in the lead up to and during the battle of Waterloo on the 18th of June, 1815 in which c.47,000 men died.
One poem is included to divide the adult and young writer sections of this anthology. This is because although we had had entries from Germany, Waterloo in Belgium and even the Isle of Man we had no French entries. In order to represent all sides we selected a poem that had been sent to the competition organisers. We picked a poem to represent the French side, because the well-known French writer Victor Hugo had summed up his feelings about the battle in his poem L'Expiation in the collection Châtiments in which he sums up the battle effectively with one word: 'carnage'.
The anthology opens with a contribution from the novelist Jane Jackson whose novel Heart of Stone has been recently shortlisted for a prestigious RNA award. It contains 44 adult stories, five junior stories and one poem.
208 pages, softbound, 170 x 245mm.

Reconditioning A Connecting Rod
A connecting rod can often be reconditioned. The following procedures may need to be performed on a connecting rod before its returned to service:
Before reconditioning the rods, inspect the thrust surfaces on the sides of the big-end bore. If there are any nicks or gouges, they should be dressed to provide seating in the grinder. Nicks and gouges are also stress risers; if they are not removed, the rod may fail prematurely.
Cap Bolt Replacement
It is a good practice to replace the connecting bolts whenever the rods are removed from the engine. It the big-end bore requires reconditioning, the bolts will have to be removed to perform some of the machining operations. However, if the rod requires straightening, straighten the rod before replacing the bolts.
Most connecting rod bolts are press-fit into the connecting rod. It is best to press both bolts out at the same time instead of attempting to knock them out with a hammer. They should come out with little pressure. If excessive pressure is required, back off the press ram. Continuing to increase pressure may break or bend the connecting rod. Use a connecting rod heater to heat the rod and try pressing the bolts out again.
After the caps and rods are machined, new bolts can be installed. When installing the bolts, it is important to protect the parting surface of the rod. A fixture can be made or purchased for installing the bolts. With the rod located over the fixture, the bolts can be seated with a punch or hammer.
CAUTIONWear approved eye protection when performing this task. Do not stand in front of the connecting rod. Stand to the side.
Straightening Connecting Rods
If the inspection of the rod indicates it is bent or twisted, it may be possible to straighten it out. One method of correcting bend and twist is cold bending. This can be manually performed using a special holding fixture. When performing this procedure, it is important not to nick or scratch the rod. Nicks and scratches weaken the connecting rod and may lead to possible breakage.
Begin by determining the direction of bend or twist. Most bends in the rod will be located near the small-end bore. Place the connecting rod into the straightening fixture using the correct size big-end and small-end adapters. Install the cap and torque the cap bolts to specifications. Select the correct size bending bar. It should closely fit the rod to prevent nicks and scratches. Use the bar to bend the rod in small increments. Measure the progress on a rod alignment fixture.
Resizing the Big-End Bore
Big-end bores can be reconditioned using two methods: oversizing the bore or returning the bore to original size. The method used depends on the amount of wear and damage in the bore.
CAUTIONAlways wear approved eye protection when grinding the caps and rods.
If it is determined that the bore is to be returned to its original size, grind the parting surfaces of the rod and cap to make the vertical diameter of the bore about 0.002 in. (0.050 mm) smaller. When grinding the parting surface of the rod, remove only enough material to restore the surface.
The procedures for removing material from the cap and rod are the same.
It is recommended that the bores be rechamfered to restore the original oil throw-off properties. Remember these considerations when reconditioning the big-end bore:
CAUTIONAlways wear approved eye protection when honing the connecting rod bore.
Reconditioning the Small-End Bore
The reconditioning method used on small-end bores depends upon the type of piston pin fit. Press-fit piston pins require about 0.001 in. (0.025 mm) interference. If the bore is worn, it will need to be resized to accept an oversized pin. This will require the pin boss in the piston to be oversized as well. Before performing this operation, be sure to weigh the cost of replacement versus the labor cost involved.
CAUTIONAlways wear approved eye protection when performing this operation. Do now wear jewelry and make sure you do not have any loose clothing.
Connecting Rod Side Clearance
When all the pistons and rods have been installed, connecting rod side clearance can be measured.
Measuring Connecting Rod "Out-of-Round"
When a rod bearing has "spun" or burned or if the big end of the connecting rod has "stretched," the rod can be resized.
Rod stretch sometimes causes the rod to draw closer together at the rod cap parting line. This sometimes causes bearing wear at the ends of the inserts.
Rods are measured for "out-of-round" with a special gauge.
The gauge measures in tenths of thousandths. usually, rods can be up to 0.001" out-of-round before resizing is necessary.
Connecting Rod Resize
When a rod bearing has spun or burned or if the big end of the connecting rod has "stretched," the rod can be resized by a machine shop.
To resize a rod:
To repair the small end of a full-floating type connecting rod, a bronze bushing is installed and the bore is then honed to the proper size.

We have been the primary development team for the Rough Guides website for over 4 years, which means we are almost constantly building new features, improving current functionality and fixing bugs. However, we recently completed a full, responsive front-end rebuild of their website and ecommerce platform which was launched in January.
The beautiful designs were done in-house by the Rough Guides team and it was our task to build them into the existing WordPress website. Although the project was essentially a front-end rebuild, we took the opportunity to restructure a lot of the back-end code, which was starting to get messy and cumbersome.
Increasing performance
We rebuilt the website to take on as much of an MVC structure that WordPress would allow which has resulted in a much more manageable codebase. The new front-end has helped reduce page load times and increase performance, as shown on the graph below.
Reducing errors
As well as increasing the transaction speed, we also worked to decrease the error rate on the website. The old website was running a mobile detection (and presenting an m.roughguides.com version of the website. This browser detection was done using a plugin, which contributed to a number of errors – removing this and unused functions resulted in a much lower error rate.
Dealing with legacy content
We were faced with a lot of challenges during the rebuild. One of the toughest was dealing with legacy content particularly for Galleries and 'Things not to miss' pages, as they were changed from carousels to scrolling pages.
Due to the new design, the old way that the information was input and stored wasn't going to give us the freedom to manipulate the data to match the designs. Our solution was to write a simple database script that looped through all of the required fields and restructured it to match the new design. This meant that new galleries could be posted using the updated format, whilst still keeping the old posts.
We love working with Rough Guides as they're top clients and we can't wait to continue working with them into 2017 and beyond.

I'm selling a property. The property was part of the ajoining farm sold to a previous owner back in the 30s. In the deed it says, "Together with the agreement by the former Grantor's in deed, for themselves, their heirs and assigns, with grantees, their heirs and assigns, that they, the Grantor's, will not construct or allow to be constructed, any building on the surrounding lands then owned by the Grantor's within 800 feet of the boundary lines of the parcel thereby conveyed, without the written consent of the grantees, their heirs and assigns". The farmer has started to build a barn about 300 feet from the property line. Is what's in my deed still viable even though it was put in the deed so long ago?

Waca nightmares coming back to haunt Australia
Simon Wilde | Reaction | Over-by-over | Scoreboard | Debate | Weblog
Australia will have uncomfortable memories of the final day of the Test against South Africa at the Waca twelve months ago when the visiting side saved the match after losing only four wickets on the final day. England must now believe they can do the same, even if the late loss of Alastair Cook was a body blow to their chances of avoiding defeat. For the moment, though, the series is still alive.
Cook played the innings of his short life, a better one even than his hundred on debut in Nagpur in March when he was still jet-lagged after arriving in India as a replacement. The Essex left-hander becomes the first England…

Yep. You read it right. Dog poop.
I wish I had the capacity to write a blog on 30 Days of Clean Eating; or a 15 Day Smoothie Challenge; or heck, even a good fashion blog.
I can only write what I know. And what I know is DIY and decreasing carbon footprints. So here it goes...
I've recently gained custody of my parents 65 lb Golden Retriever/Spaniel Mix. This old gentleman is actually my dog. I adopted him when I was about 20 or so. My parents wouldn't let him move in with me citing my work habits or apartments "no pets" policy 😝. Anyway, he's back with me now, and that brings the dog count to 3.
Three dogs is a lot of poop. A. LOT. OF. POOP. Husband thought we could compost the poop, which you can technically, but not if you ever plan to use that soil for gardening food stuffs. I'm keeping my compost pile 100% "clean", so no dog poop allowed. You could throw it in the trash, but then that's I-don't-know-how-many more pounds of trash going to a landfill per year.
I did some research and found I could buy a dog waste septic system for upwards of $40-$50. These seem like a fine choice if you don't have time to do any digging. But that price.... whew. I did some more looking and found some good "How To's". I used this one in particular.
So here it goes!
I picked up a few things from the hardware store:
1 Large (11 gallon) trash bin*
1 Toilet Flange thing (optional)
2 Bags Pea Gravel
1 Shower stopper (optional)
1 Bag Septic Starter
*There was no math I could find to figure out how large a "tank" you would need. I read one thing where a woman with 4 large dogs used a 55 gallon drum. This seemed excessive. Use your best judgement. I chose a big can to be on the safe side.
The rough idea is you are creating an environment (or tank) to encourage the breakdown of waste using bacteria and yeast, so the waste can be safely absorbed into the ground water.
The "tank" should be open at the bottom, and have a small hole at the top as a "chute". Drainage holes should be drilled around the base of the can.
First dig your hole. It took me 2 days about 2 weeks apart to dig the hole. I hit a part where the soil was super hard. Luckily we had some rain, and it softened up this hard patch. I decided to bury the trashcan upside down since the bottom needs to be open, so I had to "bell" the hole a little.
Second after hole is dug, prep the can. Cut a hole in the top large enough to use as a poop chute. I got extra fancy and bought a toilet flange to put in this hole. Drill holes in the base of the can for drainage. You don't want it to collect so much water it becomes a swamp down there. I drilled to about the midway point in the can.
Third pour in a little pea gravel at the bottom of the hole, then place your upside down can in the hole
Fourth Now that the can is in the hole, pour in the pea gravel around the sides of the can. This does double duty... keeping the can from floating up should you get crazy rain, and aiding drainage.
Fifth fill in the dirt (you'll have a lot extra) around the top of the hole, partially burying the top of the can.
Sixth Add water and 1 packet of septic starter to the hole.... and poop!
You can either be resigned to having a weird looking mound with random hole in your yard, or get fancy. I used a pot we had laying around, knocked out the bottom of it, and placed the toilet flange through the pot to the hole in the trash can. I also covered the hole with a shower drain cover. No where I read said this was necessary, but I felt with as much rain as we got this spring, I didn't want mosquitos to find it a nice breeding ground. Plus, I didn't want leaves and perhaps squirrels from falling in.
Using some bricks I had laying around and a few unused pots, I turned this space into a nicer mini-garden. I might even turn it into a mini-fairy garden later, complete with plants, and mushroom houses. You could make this dog waste septic system as plain or as fancy as you want. I might add a fake plant to the bigger pot to disguise it even more! Who knows!
So there it is folks, my dog waste septic system. I'm one more step towards making my home waste-free! Total cost? $25 and a few hours out of my day.

Options: 10 Mistakes that Most People Make
Finding a Suitable Credit Machine for Your Company.
That means that in order to cater for all kinds of customers, you should ensure that you purchase a credit card processing machine for your business. Thus, you should try to find out the different kinds of machines that are available and then determine the one that best suits your company. That means that you ought to know what you hope to achieve when you introduce the credit card machine into your company. This will depend on the kind of company that you have as well as your profit goals.
Make sure that you shop around for a suitable credit card machine that is affordable. Most of the credit card processing company provide the machine for free, however, they profit from the processing charges that your company will pay. You should not be in a hurry to install a credit card machine and then later realize that you are not making any profit from your company. That means that finding a good credit card machine will entirely depend on finding a reliable merchant processor.
A good service provider is one that is able to devote himself to satisfying his customers completely. In most cases it is extremely challenging to create a solid connection with a service provider that is in another town. That means that they should be able to answer their phones as well as reply to their emails on time. Keep in mind that there are many organizations that offer such services and hence you have a lot of options to select from.
Another consideration when looking for a credit card processing company is their level of experience. Therefore, ensure that you ask the experience of your potential credit card processing company. Additionally, you should choose a credit card processing company that has well-trained employees that are able to perform their work properly. That means that there are very many service providers that you can find on the internet. Remember that you can do your search online at any time of the day or night. In other words, you will have a wide selection of choices to choose from.
Also, it is important to deal with a credit card processing company that is licensed. That is especially that is a requirement within your state. Additionally, it is important to interview the companies that you wish to hire and learn more about them. That means that they simply pick the first service provider that they come across but they are later frustrate with the services that they receive. Also, you should consider the cost of the services that you want. That means that you can consider the quality of the services and then the amount that you are supposed to pay.

AFC Fylde manager Dave Challinor has warned his players before tomorrow's Evo-Stik Northern Premier League play-off final at home to Ashton United: "There's still a massive job to do."
It is one of the biggest matches in the history of the club with a prized place in Conference North at stake and one that is hard to call.
The two sides have met three times already.
Ashton beat the Coasters 1-0 in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup, the Coasters scored a 1-0 victory at home in the league, while the clash at Ashton in February resulted in a 1-1 draw.
All the indications make for a close encounter.
Challinor said: "A lot of people on the outside will say that we will go into tomorrow's match as favourites and that it is some sort of foregone conclusion that we will win, but that is far from being the case.
"Favouritism goes right out of the window in matches like this. We go into the match full of confidence, but we know that we will have to be at our best against Ashton.
"It is a very difficult game for us, but at the same time it is going to be a very difficult for Ashton."
The Coasters made it through to the decider on the same night that Ashton scored a dramatic win in the last knockings of extra-time to overcome FC United of Manchester.
AFC Fylde won 3-1 over Worksop with Richie Allen netting a hat-trick.
And while acknowledging Allen's individual contribution to the full, Challinor said it was the attack and defence working in tandem that paved the way to victory.
Challinor said: "Richie will take all the plaudits for his hat-trick and rightly so, but looking at the bigger picture we had to withstand an aerial bombardment from Worksop.
"To their credit, Worksop played at an unbelievably high tempo and there were times that we needed 11 men behind the ball."
Challinor reports that he has no serious injury concerns in the run-up to the make-or-break Ashton game.
He said: "We have a few niggles, but only niggles.
"Players will play through niggles when there is so much at stake as there is tomorrow and it is such a massive game."
Harry Winter suffered a bang in the face in the win over Worksop, and he's likely to have a prized shiner – not enough to make him absent.

London Holland Park District
We are considering renting a small studio apartment for one week in May 2013 on Hornton Street, near Holland Park in London. Would you consider this to be a walkable neighborhood and central enough for seeing London? We like a quiet area with good access to Tube travel, but walkable to grocery stores and restaurants.
Report Abuse
Yes all of the above IME - and besides British supermarkets and specialty food stores lining Kensington High Street nearby you also have Whole Foods Market there in case that kind of fare is your bag. A very quiet area if not on a main thoroughfare like Kensington High Street.
Holland Park is a delightful public park with the historic Holland House stately home in it - lots of strutting peacocks too.
Great place to stay IMO - not in the hectic tourist centrum of London but a short tube or bus ride away - can walk to several sights if into walking like the museum district, Harrods, etc.
Generally one of the more upscale areas of London IME of staying there multiple times.

We would alway try to stay in this area.
We hate trawling over London after a meal and there are a huge number of non chain restaurants within a walkable distance of this area. We really don't like travelling on the tube at night after a meal but there again we are countryside Scots!
If you are staying in central London you will at some way use the tube and so we always feel it is best to stay in a comfortable area and travel during the day to the sights/sites.
Report Abuse
Yup agree with the above

Agree with all of the above, that is a really nice place to stay in London. Lots of restaurants on Kensington Church Street. And easy access to anywhere in London through High Street Kensington or Notting Hill Gate.

Thank you everyone! This is very helpful information. I forgot to add that we'd also be close to our daughter in this location. She will be studying at the Royal College of Music near Royal Albert Hall.

For your needs that is a perfect location. A very upscale neighborhood w/ lots of nearby places to eat and very near High St Kens tube station.
(When I saw your thread's title I figured it would be about Shepherd's Bush. Lots of landlords take 'liberties'. but in this case - yup - terrific location)
Report Abuse
Sorry, I don't know about the Shepherd's Bush reference.
Report Abuse
Not to worry. It is just that some 'cheat' and list their flats as being in 'Holland Park' when they are really farther west in Shepherd's Bush, or 'South Kensington' when they are in Earl's Court. Just trying to make the locations sound better.
Your Landlord could have said Holland Park -- or maybe more accurately, Kensington since it is just a block over from Kensington Church Street, and wasn't cheating
Report Abuse
Shepherd's Bush is an OK area - not posh like Holland Park area - but interesting - it is an ethnic area which is why some folks may eschew staying there perhaps. Earl's Court is one of the tackiest places in all of London - totally given over it seems to starvation budget tourists/young folk from Oz and New Zealand - lots of dumpy 'hotels' there and a few OK ones as well.
Both Shepherd's Bush and Earl's Court abut Holland Park area - at least vaguely so janisj makes a good point to investigate where your hotel really is!
BTW In an interview with The Who they, talking about some song, said "It was a Shepherd's Bush type thing."

Our studio is on Hornton Street at Holland just two blocks north(west) of Kensington High St. I'm not sure what district/neighborhood this would be.

Wants to Meet Up
- Last login 27 days ago
Join Couchsurfing to see Stephen's full profile. It's free!
About Me
Surround myself with interesting people and create stories to share later on.
Please read the following (its your homework for tonight:):
1) Im doing this to meet people from all over the world. I love having interesting conversations and finding out new things or learning that preconcieved notions were incorect. That said i do not like to host for less then 2 nights and do not like requests where people tell me that they will be good guests that I will never see (arrive late and leave early). Lets hang out! I love to show my city to those who have never been here!
2) Dont request to stay with me because hotels are too expensive.. I know they are but that should not be your reason to use couchsurfing.
3) Keep me posted on your travel plans.. I know they can change but please let me know. And if you decide not to visit, it goes without saying that you should inform your host.
OK now for the fun stuff....
I've been a dreamer for sometime. I have proof. My first thru 5th grade report cards all say something along the line of "Stephen has a difficult time settling down to do his work." Its true, I have a tendency to wonder in mind and on foot/car/train. That said I did have had a good plan since I was young to build large beautiful buildings. I enjoyed figuring out higher math and that led to engineering in college and some time as an engineer in the Navy (get paid to travel) and then I built a commercial structure in downtown Washington DC. It is a wonderful looking building with an exterior skin of pre-cast concrete from Canada with stone inlaid from Alabama. The interior walls are from Italy and the floors from France. I have posted some photos.. what do you think?
Now Im working as a consultant on a new medical center project in Bethesda MD.. Its great to participate in a structure that is geared to healing people.
That aside I have come to learn that it may not be for me. 2 weeks vacation a year leaves little time for seeing the world. So now I have turned to hosting others from all over to gain "travel" experience. Feel free to ask to stay as I am quite open.
Do your own thing and good will follow. I was born in New Hampshire so I take to heart the state motto of, "Live Free or Die" I could never be a subject to a state and I feel for those who live in countries where they can not read what they want or go where they like and can not believe that today there are people who are still trying to ESCAPE where they live. This is not right.
OK, so in that light I would say that I am driven to see everything that I can. I know someday international travel will not be an easy thing to do. So while still young I am trying to get to the far reaches of the earth. People can not believe that I have been to China, Iraq, Turkey, Brazil, all over Europe and have never been to Mexico (I lived in Florida!) and Canada (I lived in New Hampshire!). I know that I will get there someday no problem... as well as the rest of the states (I'm looking forward to Montana).
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I host 90 percent of the time when compared to surfing. I want this to change!
I started on the site as a way to communicate with like-minded people. Whenever I would go on a vacation I would contact several people from the various locations and just ask about what I should do there..things to see and such. The next step was to meet with the locals. This was a leap for me but it has proved invaluable. About a year ago I started hosting. My new job affords me little chance to surf as I get only 10 days of vacation a year and have to use most of it to see my extended family in Florida. So with that my international travel involves having people stay in my apartment from all over the world. I love to open google earth and let my surfers show me where they live even down to their house.. I also enjoy trying food from your country.. so don't be shy. You can cook if you like...hint hint :)
I'm interested in lots of forms of music. For now I'm still into indie, drum'n'bass, some house, nu breaks, and even country as a break. I saw a symphony last week and came away quite impressed.. as I thought I would. i can not imagine dictating every note for 60 instruments to play for one hour.. wow..
Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I shared a drink with a couple friends at Sadams Al Faw Palace in Baghdad one night out by one of his lakes with red tracer fire going over head. You could not hear the fire but only see the red rounds cascading overhead. We were in no danger. It was one of the most peaceful moments of my life.
Teach, Learn, Share
Hmm well I'm an engineer and in construction so perhaps I can offer some thoughts:
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a new system that allows different sub-contractors (plumbing, electrical, structural) to upload their 3D designs onto one template and run what is called, "collision detection". Collisions can not always be seen with AutoCAD as it is 2D based. This can save thousands of dollars on projects that typically find out about conflicts after the system work has started..
I'm interested in geothermal power and in power generation in general. There are great forces that we should be able to harness.. waves, currents, and tides I believe can produce significat power.. OK, turning nerd mode off.
Countries I've Visited
Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Germany, Iraq, Turkey, United States
Countries I've Lived In
United States

The humid, continental climate of Ohio results in chilly winters and mild summers. These factors lead to a fair share of pest problems for homeowners in this state. However, being prepared for what pests you may encounter and what type of problems they can cause is one of the first steps toward preventing them. To help prepare you for the pests you may face in your home, below is detailed descriptions of some of the most common pests in Ohio.
Like most of the United States, bed bugs have recently become a major problem in Ohio. In recent years, the incidence of bed bugs in the state has increased significantly. One of the biggest challenges of bed bugs is how difficult they are to get rid of. There are some steps you can take at home to alleviate the problem, but elimination typically requires professional help. Bed bugs can live or hide virtually anywhere in your home, which is one of the reasons they are so hard to tackle. The more clutter and 'stuff' you have in a room, the more welcome they will feel. Another issue is that they can survive over a year without any food, meaning the only way to get rid of these pests is by killing them all. Though their bite is not dangerous, bed bugs will bite humans, leaving itchy red spots all over the skin.
Multicolored, Asian ladybugs are also a common Ohio home invader. They are a pale orange color with black spots on their back. Winter is the time when these pests become a serious problem as they move inside to spend the winter. These ladybugs sometimes secrete a fluid as a defense mechanism that creates an unpleasant smell. Additionally, when crushed, they can leave stains on your walls, carpets or drapes.
Another pest Ohio homeowners should pay very close attention to is the Eastern subterranean termite. These termites feed on wood cellulose, which is in the interior part of a wooden structure. This is especially problematic because the damage is inside the wood and cannot be easily seen. Often, by the time termites are discovered they have already done thousands of dollars in damage. Wooden foundation under your house, floorboards, and trim are all commonly attacked by these termites. Identifying termites can also be difficult because they look very similar to some ant species.
In Ohio, several different species of cockroaches can be found; the German, American, Oriental and brownbanded cockroach are all common. The German and brownbanded cockroach are most often found near sources of food, and make their way indoors much more often than the other Ohio cockroaches. You may see these pests appear more often in the kitchen, especially if crumbs are to be found. The Oriental and American cockroach prefer damp areas and usually remain outdoors, but may sometimes move inside into bathrooms and basements. Oriental cockroaches are much darker and can fly. The American cockroach is significantly larger than the other species of cockroaches in Ohio.
Many other pests including moths, mites, rodents, spiders and stinging insects are also very common in this state. No matter what type of pest problems you are facing in your Ohio home, Terminix will work with you on an individual basis to devise a safe and effective treatment plan to keep your home pest free.

Concentrating on Governors State physical sciences, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the physics department for course registration deadlines, and physics lab program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Governors State.
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the physics department, you may consider Cape Cod Community College bioengineering classes as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

1 voteBefore producing arguably his best directing efforts, Clint Eastwood had a rather weak period as a director from 1997 until 2002 ending with the terribly weak 'Blood Work' which must be one of the most underwhelming movies he has made. This flick actually reminded me somehow of 'Blood Work' in the sense that it was yet another weak feature, it was again a really preposterous thriller and basically... read more

Soooo, I'm in a hurry because I'm going to the baby shower of my dear friend. 😊 But still, I have to share this with you. Here is my painting with acrylics, a gift for a baby. 😉

Thank you so much for following us and our blog, we have followed you too. Just loved your personal story on your About page, we are doing many things the same as you. We travel lots, last year all over Europe, and next month mid April we go to America for a 3 weeks Trans USA railway journey. I am a psychologist too so you might find some posts of interest in that category. Look forward to reading and commenting on your posts, and we are currently writing about the first time I visited my wife's country 34 years ago.
Hi again …. I think you have made a great start with your blog after only a month. Your posts are clear and your photos are good too. I can make a few suggestions, but if you don't like them just ignore as I won't be offended. Its some structure stuff for improving.
1. Don't need your Home page unless you fill it, so you can make your posts your home page from Settings/Reading
2. Not easy to find how to comment, need the comment and likes switched on and visible for each post in Settings/Discussion
3. Always good to have "sharing" buttons switched on so your visitors can share your stuff on say Facebook, Tumblr, LinkedIn etc, so: Go to Settings/Sharing and click any service you want people to be able to use.
Help people to "Reblog" your posts, so you are like a guest on their site. Also on Settings/Sharing click on the blue Publicize button, then on the Sharing section at the top of that page. Then at the bottom click on Reblog and Like to be shown on your pages.
I really like this last one because then I could find one of your posts I like, click on Reblog, and it is reposted on my site but under your name. It is helping YOU to get more followers. You can also Reblog any of my posts so we are helping each other.
I would like to Reblog something of yours if it was about Slovenia, not a country I know anything about, interesting for my readers and maybe some would follow you.
Hope this helps, if you need to ask something thats ok. B
If you look at my blog you will see all these things switched on, certainly you can Reblog any of my posts too. Do you have a Follow button installed so people can follow you easily?
Thank you soooooo much!! As soon as I come home I will do those things, I was a bit lost about those tehnical stuff and I really appriciate your help! 😊 i will manage that and i will ask for help if I will need it. Thanks a lot!
