Short Story by: E.A.Rice
The Interview
The night they found her in the river, the rain fell softly but insistently, as if it had no intention of giving up. The girl's teeth were used to identify her. She'd been thrown in already dead, wrapped in carefully chosen biodegradable bags typically used for garden waste. They suspected strangulation.
They'd arrested the girl's father.
The River Aire in Yorkshire was wide, green and generous: it was polluted and frequently flooded in winter, but Detective Sergeant Fletcher had grown up with it, sitting on camping chairs along its muddy banks, fishing with his father, or walking their dog, slipping when it rained. Still, it was unusual to find a body so near the city. He didn't know the river near the city, except to avoid it.
"Your call, Joe," said the constable, Lee Medland.
The sergeant nodded. It was nearly half past eight in the evening, and he should have been heading home. But there was no avoiding it. Detective Inspector Satnam Kaur was on maternity leave. No one else was qualified in the building. There were a few drunks in the cells already; there had been a football match on. Joe Fletcher inhaled slowly.
"I'll do it."
Medland looked at him with sympathy. "Don't fuck it up," he said.
Glancing at Medland, Sergeant Fletcher made his way to the interview room.
The woman was on her own. She was called Shehnaz Begum. Joe Fletcher scanned the top sheet of paper in front of him. 46 years old. Four children, including the girl found in the river. She had come over to live in Yorkshire thirty-two years ago. All her children had been born in the county.
Joe Fletcher sat down, meeting the eye of the constable stood in the room by way of acknowledgement. He listened as the preliminaries were recorded, as they always were. Date and time, interviewee and police names. Shehnaz Begum watched him as he put his papers neatly in the file.
"I want to call my solicitor," she said suddenly, not waiting for him to look up.
He glanced at her. "Shehnaz Begum, can I please confirm your name and address," he replied mechanically.
The constable present to witness the interview reeled off her name, date of birth and address.
"Yes," she answered, the sound of the yes as hard as a sibilant sound could be. Detective Sergeant Fletcher began observing her. A white scarf was draped over her head, but casually, as if she had flung it on as an afterthought. She was in traditional dress. Shalwar and kameez. Not especially warm clothing for the weather. She had no cardigan. He noticed her face. She was beautiful, if a woman three or four stone overweight and aged before her time could be beautiful. The detective thought she must have been beautiful once. She had arched, unplucked eyebrows and large, fierce eyes. She had very full lips, a thick straight nose, and no makeup on at all.
Her hair was in a long, thin plait, and at her temples, Joe Fletcher could see where she had applied henna to the white roots.
She looked hefty, as if she could fell a man.
"Mrs Begum, we are here to question you about the very serious matter of a murder. The murder of your daughter, Anise Begum. You are fully entitled to legal advice, and we respect that. But having only just found the body of your daughter, we can understand that you must be anxious to help us."
What was he doing? Why had he employed that tactic? Joe Fletcher resisted glancing at the two-way mirror. Don't fuck it up, Constable Medland had said.
The woman looked surprised. "Yes," she answered. "We are very anxious to help you. My husband did not kill my daughter. You are making assumptions about us."
The detective glanced at his notes. She spoke excellent English. With a curious mixture of two accents, Pakistani and Yorkshire. The file in front of him stated that she worked as the manager of a chemist's shop, a small chain local to the region.
"Can you tell us a bit about your daughter, Mrs Begum?" asked Joe.
She blinked twice, rapidly. She was watching him as if he were a skilled adversary, as if they were sat at a table of war. Her mouth opened, one side before the other, as if trying to not grimace.
"She was the third of your children, I understand?"
Shehnaz Begum raised her chin slightly. "Yes. Our second daughter, seventeen years old, studying at college, no trouble at all. She helped at home, she looked after her younger brother, we would never want to kill her. Never."
Joe Fletcher nodded. He could feel the constable standing behind him move, as if he twitched, the twitch effected slightly, subtly.
"And she got on well with your other children, you stated in the police report when you reported her as missing," he continued. He looked up again from his file. It was important to control the eye contact. To not let the mother's large-eyed, hardened gaze dictate the psychological flow of events. He had to pick and choose when to look at her.
"Can you tell us why you took so long to report her missing?"
Shehnaz Begum's mouth moved again, one side opening before the other. As if an angry expression wanted to escape from the left side of her head. Her hands were on the grey matt finish of the plastic table, and they were plump and light brown, the colour of a rich sand. She wore several gold rings, the wedding ring sat atop a pink-stoned engagement ring. She had gold bracelets on, real gold, and a mid-range, silvery watch.
Her hands were lightly clenched, as if she could knock someone out.
"Well, I told you before. She had her friends, we didn't know them. We didn't ask her about them. If she wanted to see them, go, we said. You can go and see them. Go, no one can stop you from doing anything. You can do what you want here, Anise. That is what we said to her." The woman's voice rose in pitch as she spoke, as if she were speaking to her daughter in the room. Joe Fletcher nodded, again sensing Constable Skinner move slightly behind him.
"Why didn't you know anything about her friends, Mrs Begum?"
The woman looked almost sulky. Shrill, as if a scream of rage might escape, or powerlessness. Joe watched her, slowly thinking. It was as if she were angry, but not with them. She was angry about being in the interview room, but not angry at them. He could use this.
"I don't know. She never came home with them, she never introduced us."
Joe looked at his file. "A friend of hers testified that you did not approve of the friends she made at college and refused to allow them home or for her to see them after college."
Shehnaz Begum bristled. "We could never stop her from doing anything."
The anger against her daughter prickled the air.
"Your oldest daughter is married, yes? Does she work or study?"
Again, he resisted glancing sideways towards the two-way mirror. Why was he changing tack? Guaranteed to anger her.
"You are making assumptions about us. Yes, she is married. Should she be single?"
"Does she work?"
"She has just had a baby."
The way the woman said baby was different. The word was like a wave in her mouth. Joe Fletcher couldn't quite articulate the difference in how she said it. It was a sweet word when she said it, as if it conjured the image of a baby better than when he said it.
"This baby will never know his or her aunt, then. It's going to affect your family for many years, isn't it, the murder of your daughter?"
Shehnaz Begum did not answer. Her eyeballs, the detective noticed, were sallow, with faint, undulating lines of red running to the tear ducts. They looked unhealthily streaked as he waited for her answer.
"Do you miss your daughter?" he asked.
She burst into tears. Deep sobs met the grey surfaces of the interview room, as if wrenched and corkscrewed out of her, through her stomach, through her gut.
Joe Fletcher waited for her. He absently thought of his two colleagues, Medland included, watching through the two-way mirror. They would leave the station soon, and to a man, head to the pub, or more probably the fridge at home, where they would pull out a beer, and stand at the fridge door a moment, holding in a breath and then exhaling it slowly.
Sounds emerged from her, a different kind of sob that sounded like a sigh, as if she self-comforted. The wife would ask if everything was all right, if she noticed, if she was around, and not upstairs bathing the children.
"You wouldn't care if your daughter had sex with every man in this police station, would you!" spat out the woman. She hissed the words, as if enraged by her own tears, and her fury blazed towards, but still not really at, him.
Joe Fletcher's mind passed over the constables in the station, the two men watching behind the two-way mirror, the drunk men in the cells. He thought of his daughter. She was six; they'd had children later than their friends and acquaintances. They'd taken their time deciding. His life had been the police, their dog, fishing, the pub. They had thought long and hard before having children.
"I wouldn't kill her for it," he replied, involuntarily.
The woman looked at him. He thought of his daughter, and it took him a moment to hear the sobbing begin again.

Reality is love seeking a home in us.
Love is a spectrum predatory to sublime.
Love minus tolerance helpfulness and democracy is a disaster.
Love based on idolatry is a fool's errand.
Harm always has an element of misguided or unguided love.
To love well is to accept guidance.
Guidance is a utility within reality along with will and the freedom to make choices.
Consciousness is our thoughtful encounter with reality.
The power of reality is the polar opposite of binary power.
The power of reality is triadic owing to the nature of love.
Love as Paul noted is patient and kind.
Love does not seek its own.
Love is not a value, love is the expression of ontological values exercised by us.

I Thought I Had, 12/15/2015, Deon Mumple
I had a thought; It escaped me,
I don't know what I hoped would be,
When once I had a dream.
I had a dream never come true,
I hoped the dream included you,
When once I had a hope.
I had a hope that's hopeless now,
My labours failed to endow,
I thought that dreams could be…
I had a truth. Was it a lie?
I searched as life went flashing by
When once I had a thought.

The Spectre Of Death And The Integrity Of Faith (Part 3)
October 16, 2016 Speaker: Art Azurdia Series: The Animation Principle
Topic: Faith Verse: Hebrews 11:22
- Listen
- Downloads
Pastor Art Azurdia preaching part ten of "The Animation Principle" from Hebrews 11:22.
Hebrews 11 brings to a close the New Testament discussion of the entire book of Genesis focusing on the faith of Joseph. When understood in its context Joseph displays the finest kind of faith—a faith that is not softened by extreme prosperity, not weakened by spiritual darkness, and not compromised by self-exalting ambition. This faith can be summed up in just four words—"God keeps His promises." Are you intentionally resting the entirety of your eternal well-being in Jesus Christ?

SEO: The Powerful Sales-Lead Source Most Realtors Have Yet to Tap
(Toronto) October 10, 2014 Theres sales-lead gold in website search-engine optimization, but most real estate agents have no effective way to mine it.
The WebsiteBox survey results suggested that most realtors are making an effort to comply with best SEO practices: relevant keywords, compelling content, and sound website coding. More than half of the respondents said they already use keyword research, and 35 percent said they employ website meta-tags and backlinks. A respectable 45 percent said they are blogging and posting content that buyers would find useful.

In a student's world of growing facts and information, we can't expect them to learn more and more and more. We have to help them connect the facts to more enduring concepts and "understandings." By elevating concepts, we give them the conceptual lens for making sense of their world. When we allow them to do this type of thinking, that's when the learning begins to make sense.

Blogging and Its Connection to "Writing to Learn"
Best practice instruction includes giving students the opportunity to reflect on their learning, clarify thinking, or make connections among different ideas through writing. This is the process of writing to learn. It may happen through students reflecting on essential questions, connecting discrete details of learning to their more significant concepts, or even just in considering what makes sense and what is confusing within the skills, processes and content of social studies. Writing to learn elevates metacognition, the process of thinking about your own thinking. As more teachers begin to use 21st century tools, blogging is something that students can do. In terms of assigning relevant, worthwhile homework, student-created blogs seem to make sense. And, if student blogs are connected to each other, blogs create opportunities for teachers to support students in their practice of 21st century skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity/innovation. This video explains, perfectly, why blogging is so powerful for teachers and students as they mediate thinking. One place to establish classroom blogs is Edublogs.org. For additional thinking, see this post from ASCD Edge.

The Mayans understood cycles, not doomsday prophecies. They understood that every era, each with its own characteristics, would come to an end as a new era was born. That is what we are witnessing now: the death of an old era and the birth of a new one. That means the old structures are being destroyed and, like phoenixes from the ashes, new ones are arising. Here is the evidence, the signs if you will, before our eyes:
1. Gun control is under discussion. One of the most taboo subjects on the American political scene is suddenly under serious consideration across the political spectrum. Unfortunately, this happened because of the massacre of innocents who were victims of rapid-fire assault weapons whose only purposes are to kill, and to make profits. The carnage at Sandy Hook Elementary School is one of the most devastating examples in modern times of sacrificial lambs being laid at the alter of greed, but the event has moved an entire nation forward on a subject that had been completely obstructed by the National Rifle Association and the gun lobby.
2. Gay marriage is a fact of life. The turnaround on the issue of gay marriage in the United States has been one of the fastest in our history of the struggle over civil rights. Not only have nine states already legalized gay marriage, but the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear two cases that will determine the constitutionality of prohibitions against it. The first takes up California's Proposition 8, a voter-approved anti-gay marriage amendment to the state constitution. The second is a challenge to DOMA, the national Defense of Marriage Act, by a woman legally married to another woman. She was charged a huge estate tax when her partner died, which she would not have been charged had she been married to a man. One of the most significant developments in this arena, however, is the fact that polls show a majority of Americans now support the validity of gay marriages.
3. Religious affiliation is on the decline. For the first time in the history of polling, fewer than half of all Americans identify themselves as Protestants. One-fifth of Americans, and 30% of those under age 30, say they have no religious affiliation. WORLDWIDE, those who select 'None' as their religion are in third place behind Christians and Muslims.
4. Feminism has arrived at the Church of Latter Day Saints. Mormon women are wearing pants to church. On Sunday, Mormon women around the globe embraced a call put out on Facebook by a small group in Salt Lake City. They asked other women to make this symbolic gesture to call attention to their role in the church. And who says Mormons aren't Christian? True to recent expressions of Christian faith, the move brought a backlash of criticism as well as death threats.
5. Doctors have fallen from their godly perch. Revelations of unseemly relationships between physicians and drug companies have made Americans realize that their doctors are not infallible. Information has come out about doctors receiving payoffs to promote lucrative drugs, about drug company personnel writing articles for medical journals, and about treatment guidelines being written by physicians with conflicts of interest–namely that they were on the payroll of a drug company. Therefore, the public is also hearing about reversals of what they thought was accepted wisdom, like that everyone should take statins for cholesterol, all menopausal women should be on hormone replacement therapy, and yearly physicals with blood tests and x-rays might not be so necessary after all. The result is more people taking charge of their own healthcare.
6. Education is moving online. Higher education, in particular, is in a mad rush to get as many courses online as possible. Is the reason because the quality of education increases? Doubtful. This is a huge change that has at least one foot in the old era: it's all about money. Who can position themselves to make a profit? How can institutions best get around the fact that state legislatures are strangling their traditional source of funding? Nevertheless, perhaps a way will be found to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and deliver a truly quality education online. Only time will tell.
7. Health insurance will be available to all in the coming year. The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, finally reaches fruition, with changes continuing into 2014. While conservatives are in a froth about it, the benefits are becoming obvious as the American public becomes increasingly aware of the program's benefits. There's an especially strong push to educate the populations of the six states that are home to half of the country's uninsured population: California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York and Texas.
8. Prohibition is falling–once again–as legal marijuana use is on the rise. It started with the well-accepted fact that there are legitimate medical uses for marijuana. States began legalizing medical marijuana in spite of federal opposition. Then prominent Americans began speaking out in favor of legalizing the drug's general use, people like Jimmy Carter and Pat Robertson. Recently, President Obama stated in an interview that it doesn't make sense for the federal government to prosecute the recreational use of marijuana. The winds of change are about to sweep away the smoke from the controversy, removing the threat of imprisonment for this most victimless of 'crimes.'
9. Banks are beginning to pay for their wrongdoing. In what's at least a start, a global bank, UBS, has pled guilty to felonious rate-rigging and will pay a record $1.5 billion dollars in fines. While the company avoided criminal prosecution, some of its traders have not. The harshness of the settlement is seen as evidence that the U.S. Department of Justice, which arranged the deal, is cracking down on banks that are guilty of malfeasance.
10. Climate change, and violent weather patterns, are here for the foreseeable future. We can't take for granted the safety of our coasts any longer. We didn't get the message after Katrina, but Hurricane Sandy seems to have finally penetrated even the thickest heads of climate-change deniers. New York City is just one place that will continue to face the prospect of widespread destruction. Other parts of the country struggle with the opposite problem: extreme drought. The solutions lie with the future. Mother Nature has just finally gotten our attention.
11. Combat troops are becoming obsolete. Just as servicewomen are on the verge of gaining an equal role in combat, the concept is nearly outdated. At least on the surface, this is a good thing. I'd like to say war is outdated, but that's a little too optimistic, even for me. Instead, wars will be fought by people sitting at computers, directing unmanned drones, or by specialists in cyber warfare, hacking systems and undermining both social and financial organizations. Since these operations tend to be covert, we'll see less and less of what war actually does.
12. The electoral demographics of the country have changed. Not only do we have a black President for the first time in our history, but he has just won his second election by record numbers. He did this with the help of new demographics: women, youth, and ethnic minorities. Also, the U.S. House of Representatives will now be more female, more ethnically diverse, and more encompassing of different gender identities. That's on the Democratic side of the aisle. Republican members of the House are still 90% white males. However, there will be fewer Republicans as the new Congress is seated in January.
Good, bad, or indifferent, America is experiencing the birth of a new era with all its challenges, and all its inherent hopefulness.
I'd be delighted if you joined me on Facebook or checked out my blog.

Great platforms are made from lots of little tools
It's difficult for me to recognize how much of a Mac user I've become. My wife like to say that I have the evangelical zeal of a repentant sinner or an ex-smoker. It makes me a bit uncomfortable, because I like to think of myself as a platform agnostic, rather than a zealot. That said, staring at the start of our all Mac 1-1 rollout, I would be absolutely petrified if we were doing this with any other platform.
I recently ran across a vicious Mac v Windows argument on a teacher's Facebook page, and it felt like looking through the Guardian of Forever into the dark past. I put aside a decade of mac animosity with 10.2 shipped and it's baffling to me that people still have arguments like "Macs are for people who don't need real computers." Which is eerily similar to the snotty "Macs don't have a DOS prompt!" rhetoric I threw around when I was 15, except it's patently untrue.
Edge21 linked out this neat bit of Mac freeware called Say it, Save It that gets to what I love about the Mac platform. There's hundreds of these tiny, specific little utilities throughout the ecosystem, most of them very cheap or free. I love small specific chunks of code like this, as my ever expanding status bar will testify. But more than any specific utility, I love working on a platform where people create and distribute solutions for small problems.
One of the reasons this happens is the fact that OS X puts so many tools in the hands of it's users, that developers can quickly focus those into little utilities like Say It, Save It.
I've only recently been working with Automator and it's incredibly impressive. Unlike Applescript, for which Automator is essentially a fancy front end, it puts the potential of the computer in a very clear and inviting package.
I worked with a teacher who was losing an hour a week doing nothing more than changing dates and student names on a huge number of Word documents. If a nerd had designed that workflow, they would have kept everything in plain text and written up a batch of scripts to perform all the changes automatically. With Automator, it's a nearly trivial process to do the same thing with the existing Word documents and trigger the whole process with a right-click.
Saving a busy teacher an hour of tedium is nothing to sneeze at, but the best part is that it raises her expectations for what the computer can do. This has been the historical strength of the Mac platform, and tools like Automator are a huge part of it.
I think some programing exposure is critical for our adolescents because I want them to reject drudgery like this out of hand. By looking more closely at how computers operate they'll be inspired to use the computer properly – to save them from silly, repetitive drudgery.

Most factors on Natural Chemical create up examinations are missing in poor places that are extremely avoidable, i.e. places demanding a continuous "workout." I've been maintaining a psychological count for over ten years on where mistakes are consistently reveal, how they're made, and how such mistakes can be prevented. Research this content in less than five moments, implement what is mentioned, and improve the ranking on your next examination by a amount straight proportionate to the amount of power you purchase building up certain places.
7 Exercise Areas in Natural Chemistry
1. Complicated oxidations with discount rates, using oxidizing providers such as PCC to decrease carboxylic chemicals, and using LAH to oxidize alcohols. This happens more regularly than anyone might think about. There are two methods to prevent this snare. First, comprehend the corrosion declares of as well as, and know how to determine them. Second, create substance cards for all "letter reagents" such as PCC or LAH, being certain to indicate on the supports of such cards the framework and reactivity of the reagent. Also, realize that an corrosion is a decrease in electrons to an oxidizing broker, and that a decrease is the obtain of electrons from a decreasing broker.
2. Dropping abilities in illustrating Lewis components. This becomes extremely powerful on examination ratings starting around weeks time 15 of Natural Chemical create up when electrophilic fragrant alternative is presented as a subject. The responses are quickly commited to memory, however the systems are not, and need the capability to sketch extremely appropriate Lewis components for every efficient team.
3. Dropping abilities in resonance and illustrating resonance components. Justifications in Natural Chemical create up are centered in sterics and/or gadgets, and resonance drops within the digital classification. Aromatic chemistry, electrophilic or nucleophilic, is recognized when resonance is recognized. Furthermore, knowing resonance is necessary for studying and implementing carbonyl chemistry.
4. Dropping abilities in knowing acid-base equilibria, what's a powerful acidity and what's a poor acidity. Just as 95% of Natural Chemical create up is described by a nucleophile going after an electrophile, it's also described by a Lewis platform going after a Lewis acidity, hence 95% of Natural Chemical create up is Lewis acid-base chemistry. This was the purpose for studying the principles in weeks time 2.
5. Misunderstandings about what's the nucleophile and what's electophile in the response. Best, the most nucleophilic middle must be determined, as so must be the most electrophilic middle. It's better to expert these topics starting. After weeks time 20, many elements will have several nucleophilic and electrophilic facilities, and a weak point in determining such facilities will cause to complete confusion.
6. Understanding retrosynthetic research. This is the area wherein learners reduce the most factors. Most of us are auditory-sequential learners who succeed at doing projects in a forward-thinking straight line series. It just so happens that the features of complicated organic substances are not open to this kind of considering. It's essential to understand to think in reverse as starting as possible, to encounter the pain and disappointment go on (we're referring to your solution to expert university here!), to battle and then overcome. Prevention of retrosynthetic research will not create it go away, rather treating it go on will cause you to expertise.
7. Staying relaxed. The first time I used this term was on a buddy in graduate student university who couldn't comprehend why he was incapable to surmount a issue. Somehow, I noticed in 1988 that the key to achievements in life was in becoming relaxed with being unpleasant. Please think about this declaration for several days, and you'll comprehend the knowledge that some people never understand in a life-time. When you're having difficulties and unpleasant, you're really learning!

Subject Specific Challenges to Making Science Labs Work
Most learners do not go on to become researchers and for these learners the definitive objective of technology knowledge should be to educate extensive, evidence-based considering and to express a feeling of wonder about the organic world. These objectives can be met by any division of science; there is no apparent purpose why chemistry would be better than science or World technology would be more essential than chemical make up. Indeed, it is certainly possible to factor to classes and sessions in all places of technology that do a amazing job of training medical believed. However, that doesn't mean that it is similarly easy for instructors to fulfill these objectives in every sector.
It is clearly essential for learners to have real, significant clinical encounters in technology sessions. It is possible to have great laboratories in all divisions of technology but the difficulties can be quite different. One of the big difficulties in chemistry is that tests often take an longer timeframe of time. Regularly, getting outcomes is simply not possible in only one, 45 instant category interval. Even with 1.5 time dual times, developing chemistry tests that fit can be challenging. However, working with creatures (and even vegetation, fungi, and protists) is naturally encouraging and interesting for most learners. Furthermore, many of the most essential concepts in chemistry are less summary and statistical than the big concepts in science and chemical make up, and are therefore simpler for many learners to process.
In comparison, science laboratories often get much faster outcomes than chemistry laboratories and can have the benefits of being creatively extraordinary. The problems for science instructors is linking the gap between the laboratories and the concepts which they illustrate. It's no key that science includes quite a bit of numbers and many learners get so captured up in their battles with the numbers that they cannot see the concepts behind the treatments. One of the most effective alternatives to this problems is conceptual science sessions, which are often effective in assisting learners comprehend the big concepts of science.
Chemistry laboratories also are generally fast enough to fit into category times and they are often very interesting. Indeed, the most typical ask for I get as a technology instructor is for "explosions" which are almost entirely the sector of chemical make up. With chemical make up laboratories, the the multiple difficulties are protection and linking the macroscopic outcomes with the instant factors behind the outcomes. Safety in chemical make up laboratories is often best resolved by having well-designed, devoted lab bedrooms in educational institutions. When that is not possible, work-arounds using family substances instead of their more interesting and risky alternatives are sometimes possible. Connecting lab outcomes with the activities of elements is becoming simpler for instructors as better and better computer models for chemical make up knowledge are developed.
Earth technology is it all significant division of technology and it is the most overlooked one. In some ways it is the largest of the subjects; any research of earth technology will certainly contact on factors of chemical make up, science, and chemistry. Designing earth technology laboratories is quite complicated because it is challenging to actually operate landforms or climate in the educational setting. Because of this, earth technology laboratories depend highly on designs. Dependency on designs can be a durability if it is used as an probability to really discover the place of designs in technology or it can be a weak point if simple designs are used as stand-ins for complicated techniques without conversation.
Each division of technology has its own pros and cons from the perspective of a instructor developing a program with a powerful, appropriate, and interesting clinical element. For most learners, it is not especially essential which division (or branches) that they study; rather it is essential that they understand medical considering and evidence-based thinking.

Well, it's been a while!
I started this blog 2 years ago and never finished it. I was so overwhelmed with so many other things. Now that I have 6 years of teaching under my belt, I think I'm going to give this another try. I spent hours trying to find a free template/background to use. Maybe I can purchase one after I get more established. I can't wait until I get some followers!

Some of you won't remember, but there was a very popular television program in the 1970's that was about the 1950's. The show was loosely based on the movie "American Graffiti". It was my first experience with nostalgia, so I don't know if people in the 1930's ever got nostalgic for the 1910's or not. I have notice that only rather odd people get nostalgic for the 1970's.
The stars of the show were the teenagers. They hung around at the malt shop and had problems with their boyfriends and girlfriends or their cars or whatever. They were generally clean cut kids with names like Richie and Potsie. One character that had a bit of mystery about him was the Fonz. You never saw his family, he didn't go to school, he wore a leather jacket, he could tap the juke box on the side to make it play and he could undo a bra clasp with one hand.
He was also the guy you wanted on your side in a fight. Whenever some kids from another town were giving Richie and Potsie trouble, they called upon the Fonz to help them out. This was not "West Side Story". There was never any fighting on the show. Someone would do something clever or say something that needed to be said, and the fight would not happen. The conflict would not always be resolved, but at least avoided.
Over the course of seasons of the show, more about the Fonz was slowly revealed. One Thanksgiving he was seen eating a can of beans alone, and you found out there were some unresolved family issues and a lot of sadness around his lone wolf exterior. During one episode where a fight seemed to be inevitable, Richie and Potsie asked for specific help on how to engage someone in hand to hand combat. The Fonz asked the boys if they had ever actually seen him hit anybody.
They thought for a second and realized they had not. The Fonz was always cool. His tag line is always a very deep and mellow, "Haaaaay". His hair was always perfect. Somewhere, back in some mythic past, he developed a reputation that he was capable of taking on anyone, that he could do major damage without breaking a sweat. If it was true that he had ever actually done that, it didn't matter, it was no longer necessary to demonstrate it. Simply knowing that the Fonz was coming to the fight was enough to bring the opposition to the negotiation table.
This is similar to the tradition of many of the martial arts that borrow their philosophies from Buddhism or Taoism, Shaolin Kung Fu, Aikido, Tai Chi Chuan. The masters don't need to use their sting. If they were to use it, it would diminish their ability to use their power of language and presence. That power does more to maintain the stability of their culture than any slap across the face to someone who deserved it would.
This can be seen in the writings of spiritual leaders also, such as the Dalai Lama or Thich Nhat Hahn. These men could lash out and attack a great power like China or the United States with scathing commentary on their inability to lead, their poor example to the world, or their dumping of garbage into the air or water. But like a bee that can only sting once, then dies, if they did that, their ability to do it a second time would be severely diminished.

Boosts immunity
Consistent saddling-up puts your body's immune system in a better position to fight infections by making the white blood cells (leukocytes) in your blood more active.
Strengthens muscles
The muscles in your legs, back and abdomen work hard to make your bicycle move; this makes them strong and flexible.
Counters insomnia
When you take your bike out habitually, you'll not only be able to fall asleep faster but also doze better for longer periods.
Keeps you cheerful
All kinds of exercise release endorphins, the feel-good hormones in your bloodstream. Biking, in particular, is an enjoyable outdoor activity that makes your spirits soar and gives you lasting pleasure.
Sharpens your brain
You inhale a lot of fresh air when you venture out on morning rides. Consequently, your brain cells fire up which leads to better cognition and higher productivity at work.
Busts stress
When you go pedalling, higher quantities of the happy hormones are produced in the hot areas of your brain, meaning, your emotions no longer overwhelm you.
Betters posture
The stronger core of cyclists makes it easier for them to retain a good posture through the day.
Benefits pregnant women
When expectant mothers saddle up continually, they facilitate brain-development in their foetus apart from enjoying better moods and easing up delivery.
Expands your lungs
Your breathing becomes deeper and more effective when you pedal rather than drive. Thus, repeated trips build lung capacity.
Assists Type2 diabetes
A sedentary lifestyle is the main contributor to higher blood-sugar levels and the body of active cyclists finds proper use of insulin a breeze.
Makes your heart robust
Pedalling boosts heart function. Further, saddling-up on a day-to-day basis increases the levels of good cholesterol in your blood and reduces the risk of heart attacks.
Delays ageing
The capacity to eliminate harmful toxins makes bike-journeys good for your skin. Your face, thereby, has fewer wrinkles and less acne.
Extends life
Bikers stretch their life-span by perking up cardiovascular fitness, alleviating anxiety, and strengthening their body's defences against diseases.
Protects against Alzheimer's
When aged people cycle consistently, the neurons in their hippocampus are activated enhancing memory and helping to prevent Alzheimer's.
Develops coordination
Your eyes, hand and feet need to work together to steer your bike along without wobbling. As a result, your coordination improves and you become less prone to falls.
Tackles depression
Biking positively impacts the joy-inducing neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine in your brain. Ergo, saddle up and keep away the blues!
Helps you lose weight
While an hour of steady bicycling burns 300 calories, a 40-min ride loads your muscles with fat-consuming mitochondria. Hence, persistent pedalling equals a gorgeous figure.
Limits exposure to pollutants
Unlike car drivers, bikers pedal along the edge of the road which puts a cap on your exposure to air pollutants.
Eases bowel movement
Elevated rates of metabolism, even hours after your trip, expedite the movement of food through your intestines and soften your stools.
Preserves joints
Different to walks, cycle-travels are low-impact cartilage-preserving workouts where the seat bears your weight all the time and not your knees.
Kills tiredness
As riding isn't an extreme workout, it can be used to overcome fatigue. So, get outdoors on your bike the next time you feel low in energy.
Prevents cancer
According to recent research, cyclists can keep colon cancer and breast cancer at bay by improving cell function.
Beats dysmenorrhea
Besides stronger abs, women bikers have more of oxygenated blood in their system that helps relieve menstrual cramps.
Burns belly fat
Bicycle-rides yield themselves to HIIT (high-intensity interval training) and can help shift the oft-stubborn visceral fat in your tummy region.
Quickens recovery
Riding at low speeds stimulates circulation in the ill and the injured, hence, aiding recovery.
Thus, cycling is one of the simplest, cheapest and most secure of exercises that tone up your body and mind.
At Ivanhoe bikes, we can maintain your old bike, or offer you an exquisite range of quality bikes at affordable prices that make your outings safe, comfy and fun. So, get out there and pedal your way to good health!

Great picture of a robin, I personally hate robins though. They are possessed around our house. They hit the windows constantly! They don't hit head first, but feet first! It is kind of weird! Our cars are covered in bird feces because they love the windows. Last year I had to wash the outside windows constantly because of all the crap! Funny

April 17 — To the Editor:
Kittery's ongoing discussion about the future of Rice Public Library provides a unique opportunity to create a genuine community campus for its citizens.
One of the options under consideration is building a new 21st-century library on Frisbee Common, sharing the campus with the existing Kittery Community Center. Imagine the town's kids having a central location for physical, mental and cultural activities. Such a site would also offer easier access from nearby senior-citizen facilities.
One thing Kittery has lacked in recent years is a real center. I tend to think of the town as something of a scrambled egg, with various focal points. Having these two outstanding agencies adjacent to one another creates endless opportunities, such as kids enrolled in the KCC's summertime program being able to walk just a few yards across campus to partake in the library's numerous activities.
This shared location could prove to be the heart of our historic community.
As a matter of full disclosure, I'm part of the working group putting together the forums to promote discussion of the library's future. This group has agreed to abide by the preference determined by Kittery's residents following this process.
Other options include consolidating operations in an expanded and rehabilitated Rice building, or simply leaving the current system in place, with library services housed within two separate buildings. Participants can also offer new ideas for solutions not yet considered.
The first public workshop will be held this Saturday between 10 a.m. and noon in the Traip Academy gymnasium. Those who wish to have a voice in the process are encouraged to participate.

Also known as ton tanks, drum tank size and capacity depends on exact drum specification and product density.
Drum tanks are a commonly used supply package for a wide range of low to medium pressure packaged gases. Most common products are packaged chemicals (e.g. ammonia, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, ethylene oxide, hydrocarbons) and refrigerants (e.g. R22, R134a, R404A).
Drum tanks meet the needs of customers whose demand is too high to be easily managed via cylinder supply, but not high enough to be suitable for delivery in bulk/ISO tanks.
The drum tanks provide advantages of minimizing the need for cylinder handling, in changeovers and site transport, as well as minimizing space requirements.

Purveyor of Truth
Senator Mitch McConnell and where the rubber meets the road.
THE HILLSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took steps Monday to prevent a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security by splitting off legislation attacking President Obama's immigration actions from the funding fight.
The Kentucky Republican is seeking to fast-track legislation to eliminate two new immigration programs launched by Obama late last year, while allowing a 2012 initiative targeting younger immigrants to continue as designed.
McConnell's move sets the stage for separate votes on a measure to fund the Homeland Security Department (DHS) past Friday and to dismantle Obama's unilateral efforts to shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation.
A House-passed proposal combining those two efforts had hit a wall in the Senate, where Democrats on Monday united for a fourth time this month to block the measure over their opposition to the provisions undoing Obama's executive actions.
The DHS will suffer a partial shutdown if Congress doesn't act before Saturday.
McConnell said he wanted to take away Democrats' excuse for not voting against Obama's 2014 actions, which several centrist Democrats had previously criticized.
"Some Democrats give the impression they want Congress to address the overreach. But when they vote, they always seem to have an excuse for supporting actions they once criticized," he said on the floor. "So I'm going to begin proceedings on targeted legislation that would only address the most recent overreach from November.
"It isn't tied to DHS funding. It removes their excuse," he added.
McConnell's decision could mark a step forward from the stalemate over the funding debate, which had left GOP leaders of both chambers struggling for a way to prevent an agency shutdown while appeasing conservatives insisting the immigration riders be a part of the package.
It remains unclear how the strategy will be received by House conservatives, but the office of Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) was quick to indicate its support.
Your Congress hard at work...

Well, apparently the GOP's efforts at driving a stake into the heart of health care reform have been derailed. The President has put forth a bill that aims to be a compromise between the House and Senate bills that passed last year.
If passed, the bill would represent major and real change for the American people, especially the poor and uninsured/underinsured. I'm sure those on the right will hate it and demonize it without offering any plans of their own beyond tort reform.
This bill isn't everything I would want (ie: Medicare for all American citizens and legal residents), but it is better than nothing and represents a significant step forward. Let's hope it happens!

My Vision...
Okay i do accept all the material i have posted earlier wasn't my own but....
Its really sad to see these days muslims and specially muslims like me, who are Alahamdulillah, muslims by birth, don't really like to read their religious history. We believe what we believe in, 'bcoz thats what my dad told me so', 'dats how things are done in my family', 'thats what maulvi ji told me in the mosque'. Well thats true in my case as well, if not today, it used to be!
I first started studying or you can say looked into my religious believes when i was subjected to study of Philosophy in first year of my degree back in Lahore at University Of Lahore. I just admire my teacher of that time, i really can't remember his name now but he used to come in the lecture room and just start any sort of discussion. From the very first day he said we won't have any framed course structure of this module rather than we will have open discussions and most of the time we wont have answers to those questions but atleast its a brain exercise we all should go through.
Most of the students in our university called him Athiest, even called him Kafir sometimes. But don't know he always had logic in his words. We used to discuss creation of Universe, Morality and Ethics and most interestingly he used to stay away from religious discussions as religion is most of the time based on certain believes which cant be 'challenged'. Or in country like Pakistan, you could be hanged to death :P
But the most important thing i learnt from him was, DO ASK!. Do question things which are going around you, do question your believes ( which includes your religion ) and think logically. keep your mind open and you should always be prepared to defend your 'faith'.
And trully this made me THINK about what we all do. Those 4 months were revolutionary in life because i never thought like this before. He pointed out few things which i really used to think when i was young, like in school but never ever mentioned to anyone around, which was:" May be whole this religion stuff is made by one or few genious people who made an invisible entity, such as GOD who cannot be challenged? but they did it all in good faith?"
Yes, it is possible for people who dont believe in Allah, but whats to lose if i follow Islam? i really can't see anything wrong with it?
We all need a system to live in, a system where out rights are protected and where we dont have any chance to subdue our fellow human beings of their rights. We all know that we need a traffic lights on our roads to make the driving safe, why cant we be aware enough to stop on our own? because we CANT, we are human beings, we do have laws in which we all live, if you speed on road you get tickets, if you litter around you get tickets, if you dont repay your debts you get court orders, and we all follow that with calm and never argue with a police officer then why with religion?
These were the things i asked myself during that semester and did try to answer myself. But again this world is not made according to the laws of LOGIC or atleast human logic is still not mature enough to understand that. We learnt Stephen Hawkins, a great American Physisict and Philosopher who proved existence of God and disapproved existance of God in his other book, both based on Logic, which at the moment no one can challenge. So what we suppose to do? The very best answer science gives us is: Universe came into existence by a BIG BANG. But what was before that? so even the science of reasoning doesnt works beyond that, so to comfort myself, yes i do believe there is someone out there, Allah (SWT).
Now, based on this, when i assume that there is someone, who is the creator of this universe, which is now belief, i go towards my basic religion. If i can believe in that, why should'nt i believe in his Prophet Muhammad( S.A.W) and if i do, then whats stopping me from believing what he taught?
As a muslim i do believe in all what is said in Holy Book Quran. If there is order or hukm of 'Pardah, Niqaab, Veil, or Burqah' i do believe that there must be something good in it. But as i have logical perspective of my religion as well, and i see no reason why we should'nt have these things, they all make sense, atleast to me.
It is very natural for a men to see towards a women who is wearing a revealing dress, revealing here means, such a dress which shows the 'figure' of her body, and surely its a start of something we believe is immoral stuff to do. Yes you may ask, why a women should suffer because of this ill-habit of male genre?, Do you think its possible to cover eyes of a person? i dont think that to be very practical so only remedy is to make women such clothes which should not reveal themselve in such manner. And again didnt we see that in Quran, its been asked from men to lower ther gazes when they see a women? and dont tell me its un-practical dress to wear, please do abit of research and look into 'Womens role in Iran', they ain't allowed to leave there place without burqa but they do work in almost every aspect of life! ( I am not claiming its huge, we dont want that! but its quite significant as compared to other muslim countries)
And again, if i believe in Allah and his Messenger, why not to believe in his laws? Don't we all know that in Quran its mentioned that Husbands are protector of their wives? So, if you are a muslim you should believe in the fact that women are not suppose to earn for their families, its the mens job! they are naturally made stronger for this reason and women should stay home to look after the family, the family of his husband such as his ageing parents and her kids. I really cant see any reason why people wants to change it? whats wrong with it? its not depriving women of their right to work but its the case of different genders made for different reason! if all the women will go to work? what gonna happen to your parents? where should go? old homes? ask them about it, ask the people who lives in old homes, where they wanna stay? what gonna happen to your kids? just put them into caring homes/nursring homes? do you really think thats the best they deserve?
Again it comes to believes, if you believe whats said in Quran and Hadeeth, why you wana deviate from it? if you really want then just please dont follow westerns blindly, put a bit of thought in it first.
You talk about free society? free speech? equality of male, female? well okay, USA,UK, Europe has opened up there societies, living in england i do see old buildings such as schools where they mark entrances on the basis of gender classification but certainly thats not the case anymore which means they used to have some type of pardah earlier but well what they got out of new system? Far more cases of sexual harrasment than a century earlier? more killings? more rap cases? and all sort of crimes related to female harrasment on rise, is that what we want?
Okay may be, i have deviated a little from my original topic but i do want to discuss with people who think Islam is an old fashioned religion and it is not applicable in todays society, we need to change things? huh i really dont think so. Just give it a try on personal basis atleast and see what it does for you, surely there is a Hikma in all the words/orders/ahkaam of Allah (SWT) and it all ends on my believes. These are the believes based on limited logic and practical experiences.
For all you out there, specially my muslims fellows, Please do follow what you believe in! If you are muslim you have to accept whats in the holy book, yes you do have the right to question, but seek answers and do sort yourself out, because without that your belief in Islam is pointless.
Note: Everything i have said in this writting i based on my personal views, i am not here to change your views, dictate anyone or even affect your thoughts in anyway. It is just something personally i think how things should be:) .

Karl Lacey returned to action today, but Four Masters were denied by a late brace by Kealan McFadden as Glenswilly salvaged a draw.
Glenswilly 1-6 Four Masters 0-9
Lacey was introduced in the second half, but was forced to leave the action again due to a facial injury.
McFadden hit five points for Glenswilly, three of them in the first half, while Paddy Diver scored a second half goal.
Four Masters led 0-8 to 0-3 at half-time.
That advantage might have been even greater, but Philip O'Donnell saved a penalty from Kevin McBrearty in the 20th minute.
McBrearty drilled over three of the Four Masters points and they were five to the good at the break.
Diver fisted home from a long ball in by Ciaran Bonner.
McBrearty kept Four Masters ahead, but McFadden's late point drew Glenswilly level.

Scientists Create Glow-In-The-Dark Cats
They're cute, white, and fluffy - and they glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet light. The cats are actually clones. They're also the first cats to be cloned with a manipulated fluorescence protein gene.
The researchers hope that the procedure could help develop treatments for human genetic diseases.
The scientists, from Gyeongsang National University in South Korea, explained that they used the skin cells of the mother cat for cloning. To modify its genes, they inserted a virus in the skin cells, which were then transplanted into the mother's womb. Four Turkish Angora kittens were born in January, but two died during a caesarean section. The two living cats, now nearly a year old, weigh about 6-7pounds.
By demonstrating that it's possible to clone an animal with a manipulated gene, the research could help scientists better understand human genetic diseases. For example, scientists may be able to reproduce cloned animals suffering from the same diseases as humans. Cats have about 250 of the same kinds of genetic diseases that affect humans.
The ability to clone genetically altered cats may also help to develop new stem cell treatments for humans. And, using the same technology, researchers may be able to clone endangered animals like tigers, leopards and wildcats.

Moments after his top-ranked Cardinals routed No. 4 Mount St. Joseph, 10-0, yesterday, Calvert Hall coach Joe Binder was asked if his team had surpassed his expectations.
He responded with an impish grin and -- before answering -- chose to mull over the impressive accomplishments of this year's 18-1, defending Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association champs.
The Cardinals (7-1 in the MIAA), who downed Mount St. Joseph, 4-3, in an earlier game, have two victories over last year's league and tournament runner-up No. 6 McDonogh, by a combined 13-0. The second McDonogh victory came in Friday's 3-0, perfect-game decision by left-hander Andy Bair.

Christmas week started out nicely, with a couple of quick turnaround jobs, and by the end of the evening, I had 5 new jobs, most of which will be coming due by the end of the week. A little late to save the month, but it's a nice trend that I hope continues for the next year.
The one above was a fast one for the Wall Street Journal this afternoon, part of the 'aches & claims' column that I've been illustrating for them since the early part of the decade (at one time a weekly column, then bi-monthly), but which have slowed down to a trickle of assignments during the latter half of 2010. The other assignment will be coming due in the middle of the week, at which point I'll probably have a few new pieces to post.
ADDENDUM: The 'Aches & Claims' column, that I had been illustrating with some regularity since 2002 eventually wound down to nothing in the next few months, I would only have about two more illustrations for this column before it shut down completely. A nice run, and I would miss the regular conceptual challenges, not to mention the steady stream of reliable income. A big thanks to Sue Foster, my WSJ designer during most of this time, I sure enjoyed myself, and you were always a pleasure to work for.

I LOVE This!
One of the biggest reasons that I started this blog was to puzzle over art director choices for book covers. I love Chad Beckerman's blog for that. He gives background and reasons for some of the covers he directs – see this post. It is so so enlightening to get a peek into the process. Thanks to Chad. And if there are other publishers' art directors out in the blogosphere doing these, please point them out in the comments!

Lets design an audio amplifier, using discrete transistors, in order to amplify the low level output of a device. For example the output of the demodulation stage of radio receiver, a microphone, etc. First thing all. The requirements for our amplifier:
- 9 volts supply voltage.
- Voltage gain (preamplifier stage) of at least 100.
- Driving a small 16 Ohm speaker with a voltage of 5 Vp-p.
- Bandwidth from 50 Hz to 22 kHz.
The following is intended as an educational aid and not a professional effort.
Preamplifier Stage.
First of all, now that we have established our requirements, we must take some decisions for our amplifier. We need a preamplifier with gain of at least 100. The big gain we need drives as to the conclusion that the preamplifier stage will be a Common Emitter (CE) amplifier. Bellow we can see the preamplifier circuit.
The transistor, Q1, we are going to use is the BC547B. We will consider that this transistor has a current gain β (Hfe or beta) equal to 100 (worst case scenario). The Collector-Emitter voltage of BC547Β, when saturated is VCE(SAT)=0,2 volts (for a specific collector current). The Base-Emitter voltage for BC547Β is VBE=0,6 volts. All the above numbers comes directly form BC547B's datasheet.
We must calculate the values of R1,R2,RC,RE and C1. C1 controls the upper side of the bandwidth. Cin and Cout are used to couple in the ac signal. A value of 100 μF is a good enough value for those capacitors. The CE capacitor grounds the ac signal and increases the ac gain of the amplifier. Also controls the low side of the bandwidth. Generally speaking we need this capacitor as large as possible. For our needs, a value of 220 μF is good enough.
Before we start calculating values we must make a decision for the Collector current, IC. BC547Β has a max collector current of 100 mA. For continuous operation we should use a collector current 10 times lower of the max collector current. We could select 10 mA. Practically speaking, at 10 mA the electrical characteristics for the BC547Β transistor are not so great (there are also some noise issues with biasing at 10 mA). For example VCE(SAT) is 0,6 volts from 0,2 volts. From the datasheet for the BC547B we can see that for a 2 mA collector current is behaves quite nicely. So we are going to select a Collector current of 2 mA.
We need a gain of 100. The voltage gain of Common Emitter aplifier is dictated from the following equation:
We will say that we need the gain Α, at least 100 and the collector current ΙC equal to 2 mA. To be certain for our design, we are going to say that we need our gain to be larger that 100 (Α>100). So we can now calculate:
So, if we use a Collector resistor, RC, of 1250 Ohm the voltage gain will equal to 100. Due to losses I know that the value of the resistor must be bigger. So, we are going to select a 1500 Ohm resistor (available a Ε12 resistors series).
We need the operating point (Q-point) of the transistor to the middle of the operating point curve, in order the ac voltage to swing without causing the transistor to enter the saturation or the cutting point regions. So we need a collector voltage of 4,5 volts (half of the supply voltage). So VCE=4,5 volts. Now we can calculate the resistor we must place to the Emitter (RE). For the circuit, applies:
Did you spot the oversight/"error" to the calculations above?
We will select a value of 820 Ohms (Ε12 resistors series, I don't have a 750 Ohm (Ε24 series) resistor).
Let's now calculate R1, R2 resistors, composing the voltage divider for biasing the transistor Base. Generally, we need the current through R2 ten (10) times (or an order of magnitude) bigger that the base current (ΙB). We need this in order to achieve a stable voltage divider, that leads to a stable operating point for the transistor. The current through R1 will be eleven (11) time the base current (one part for the base current and the remaining ten parts through R2).
We know for the base current that:
For the base voltage we know that:
The 0,6 volts (VBE) is the base emitter junction forward voltage.
For R2 we know that:
R2=10,5 kOhm. We are going to choose R2=10 kOhm (Ε12 resistors series).
For R1 we know that:
We are going to choose R1=27 kOhm (Ε12 resistors series). We are selecting the lower closest value in order to compensate for the increase of the RE resistor.
So far we have calculated:
R1=27 kOhm, R2=10 kOhm, RC=1500 Ohm, RE=820 Ohm. We must calculate the C1 capacitor.
C1 capacitor is parallel to the collector resistor. This means that for the ac current the resistance (impedance) of the Collector (let's say ΖC) will depend upon the ac signal frequency. But when the Collector resistance changes, the gain (A) changes also. We need an upper limit of 22 kHz for the bandwidth (the human ear can't hear frequencies above 22 kHz). This mean that the output voltage must be 0,707 of the input voltage, for an input frequency of 22 kHz.
In order to reduce the gain by 3 db (or 0,707) we must reduce the collector impedance RCZ by 0.707.
If the capacitor impedance is XC, from two resistors in parallel connection, and the capacitor impedance:
From the impedance for a capacitor:
We are going ti select a 5 nF witch is the closest value available for me.
By calculating C1 we completed our design for the amplifier.
With the help of the program LTSpice we will simulate the circuit we designed. The voltage source Vmic has an output of 1 mVolt peak and a frequency of 1 kHz.
To the picture above we can see the output voltage, for an input voltage of 1 mVolt peak. This is 105 mVolts peak. This mean that the gain is 105. Our requirement was a voltage gain of 100. So, this what we wanted.
Lat's see the bandwidth now.
With the term bandwidth we mean the space between two frequencies (low and high) that the gain reduces by a factor of 0,707 of the output voltage.
To the above picture we can see the output for frequencies from 10 Hz to 100 kHz. We are looking for frequencies that the gain reduces by 0,707 of the output. The maximum output is 40,46 db. We need the position of -3 db less.
From the pointers to the diagram we can see that the -3 db point for the low frequency is at 56 Hz. For the high frequency the -3 db point is at 25 kHz. He had a requirement of 50 Hz to 22 kHz. 56 Hz to 25 kHz is really good.
We have now completed the design of our preamplifier.
To be continued…

Datamancer Steampunk Laptop - Pre-order NOW
So, I saw this the other day, a custom built steampunk WORKING laptop!
The cogs on the front (above) actually work, all rotating when the laptop is turned on.
The key (below) will actually be used to turn the laptop on and off! This could be questionable, cuz you know you are gonna loose the key eventually, but this is a nice, little feature. No mention yet on the specs of the laptop, but there is a batch of laptops being created as well speak.
Cute but useless
If you currently live on the Nautilus with Jules Verne, on in some very old library you will be happy to know that this is ready to Pre-order from Datamancer now.
First batch starting at $5500

Sooner or later Apple will present the Apple Watch. 2 If this is the case in the autumn of 2016, or at least until the Frühjhr 2017? Compared to the iPhone 7 there for Apple Watch 2 relatively few rumors, so we have to wait and see
for the weekend, however, emerged a new rumor for Apple Watch 2. It is said that Apple on the so-called "One Glass Solution" (OGS) rather than on the Glass on Gass (G / G) technology is set. This has Digitims able to find out from Apple Zulieferr TPK Holding.
When One Glass Solution is dispensed with a glass layer as compared to the traditional Glass on Glass technology. This would mean that the used display glass is thinner and Apple provided the housing remains unchanged in size, at the same time has more interior space of the device available. This could be for a bigger battery, additional sensors, etc. are used.
According to TPK Holding production of OGS displays for Apple Watch 2 is still a little bumpy, as it has to deal with production problems.
The large loss for the second quarter what Mainly Because touch panel orders for iPhones continued to decrease, and Apple wants to change touch panel technology from G / G to OGS (one glass solution) in the new Apple Watch to be launched in the second half of 2016, TPK said. The change in touchpanel technology Involved unexpected technological difficulties and THEREFORE yield rates for OGS touch panels were much lower than expected, TPK explained '.
It is generally expected that Apple in the design only slight changes compared to the first generation of Apple Watch will make. A faster processor, more powerful chips and a reduced dependence on the iPhone are expected. In addition, Apple is likely to place one or the other new sensor.

RELATED ARTICLES: Ramboll acquires Gifford to boost ME consultancy | Al Jaber lands $55.8m Bani Yas City infra project | Al Jaber gets US$300m for Shah Gas project
UAE construction company Al Jaber Group will open a new office in Saudi Arabia, following the succesful launch of a branch in Australia, as the company expands its global operations.
Chief operating officer Fatima Obaid Al Jaber said, "These two countries have a booming construction industry. These are the new markets we are looking at. We are looking at starting legal registration in Saudi Arabia. There are also some major mining projects in Australia."
The company is also bidding for local projects. Al Jaber said they will bid for the Abu Dhabi International Airport expansion project, and the Etihad Rail project.
"A sulphur-handling project in Ruwais has been awarded to us recently," she added.
Al Jaber highlighted the company's desire to move to the Gulf's most populous nation in an interview carried by CW last November.
"We are actually working in Qatar and we're looking at the Saudi Arabian market, but I think we are being quite conservative about this. There are some plans in the pipeline for Saudi. But we're staying within the GCC," she told ConstructionWeek.
She also said moving into new markets was not possible without good finanical support and cashflow from banks.
"Financing in this market is tough. It's not easy," she explained. "I think the banks are a bit reluctant to support companies. I think they're trying their best but there are a lot of regulations in place that stop them from doing so. We are trying to work around all of these things, and we have good support from the existing banks that we are working with, but you know, if you want to expand, you need more support."
Al Jaber said "that by Q1 of next year, we will see more Al Jaber Group projects across the region."
Other construction related firms to open in Riyad include Ramboll Middle East and Jotun Saudi.

Hormonology uses hundreds of scientific studies to show you how your hormones impact you in virtually every way every day of your monthly cycle. The Hormone Horoscope is a nifty little way of dispensing this information daily. To get started, find the week you're on in your monthly cycle (you can use this easy guide if you're not sure), then read your Hormone Horoscope for today!
Which week are you on
in your monthly cycle?
Find out what it reveals about
what your day has in store:
Week 1
Day 1 (first day of period) to Day 7
Estrogen and testosterone rise
Today's Hormone Horoscope: As estrogen and testosterone rise this week, you're going to feel lighter, happier and more carefree. However, this doesn't mean you're going to feel this way 100% of the time. Truth is, your hormone-inspired good mood is a general trend. But, it can be spoiled by any of the usual mood-crushers, like skipping meals, getting into a fender bender and watching your sweetie put the empty milk carton back in the fridge for the umpteenth time. The good news is that once you're past these little bumps in the road, rising hormones promise to get you feeling cheery quickly once again!
Week 2
Day 8 to Day 13
Estrogen and testosterone rise till they peak
Today's Hormone Horoscope: A lot of folks assume that the only week women lose their temper is during Week 4, the premenstrual week. But, truth is, you've got a tiger crouched and ready to spring during Week 2 as well. That's because when estrogen gets as high as it does on these days, it amps up your emotional response to stress and makes you more vocal. Meanwhile, testosterone is making you feel bolder and a lot less concerned about what people think of you. The combination of these hormonal effects should be enough for anyone to think twice about cutting you off in traffic, stealing your lunch out of the fridge or grabbing the last on-sale bikini that you were clearly reaching for. The resulting outburst could be frightening.
Week 3
Day 14 (or ovulation) to Day 22
Progesterone rises; estrogen and testosterone drop for half the week, then rise again
Today's Hormone Horoscope: Wave buh-bye to your libido today. Rising progesterone is putting the kibosh on that bit of fun. And, if you do happen to feel the rare stirrings from down below, don't count on an easy or fulfilling climax; progesterone is making it more difficult to reach orgasm and the orgasms you do reach are totally ho-hum compared to those reached in other weeks of your cycle. The good news? Cuddling, massage and foreplay all still feel wonderful and boost feel-good brain chemicals that lift mood and make you feel more connected to your partner.
Week 4
Day 23 to the end of your cycle
Estrogen, testosterone and progesterone plunge
Today's Hormone Horoscope: Plunging estrogen is making you a tad more judgmental today; you may be picky about what people are wearing, what they're saying and what they're doing. And here's a funny little fact: A new study in the journal Psychological Science reveals that drinking something bitter, like coffee or dark beer, actually makes you even more judgmental! To avoid annoying folks around you, you may want to opt for sweet beverages today instead.

Divergent Casts Four
Divergent, the movie adaption of Veronica Roth's young adult series, has found its Four. Four, the soulful main character opposite of Tris (Shailene Woodley), will be played by Theo James. James currently stars in CBS's Golden Boy and is probably most remembered for playing a young man with an untimely end in Downton Abbey. Like The Hunger Games, Divergent has cast many notable actors including Kate Winslet. In a world full of "just like Hunger Games", Divergent stands out as a unique story on its own. Tobias "Four" is a fan favorite in the series. While I was surprised by the casting, I cannot really pass any judgement Here's hoping he does the role justice.
