As far as I know, a steam whistle is just a whistle that's blown by steam rather than air. The principle behind a whistle is straightforward: the air inside the whistle is driven into intense vibration by the stream of gas blown across a slot-shaped opening. This stream of gas is directed at the sharp edge on the far side of the opening and might or might not actually enter the whistle. If air happens to be flowing out of the slot-shaped opening as the stream flows across the slot, the outgoing air will deflect the stream outward and that stream won't enter the whistle. But if air happens to be flowing into the slot as the stream crosses the slot, the stream will be deflected into the whistle. This situation leads to an amplifying effect: if any air is flowing into the slot, the whole stream of gas will flow into the slot. If any air is flowing out of the slot, the whole stream of gas will flow out of the slot.
Now air inside the whistle is never perfectly still—it's always sloshing back and forth at least a tiny bit, much like water sloshes in a basin. As a result, there is always a little motion of air in or out of the slot. When the stream of gas begins to blow across the slot, it amplifies any tiny motions of air inside the whistle so that they become more and more vigorous. Soon the air inside the whistle is vibrating intensely and the resulting pressure fluctuations radiate outward from the whistle as sound.
This same principle is active in many other musical devices, including pipe organs and flutes. In a steam whistle, the stream of gas that drives this vibration is steam rather than air. Water is heated in a boiler until it forms moderately high-pressure steam and then the steam is released through a valve to a large whistle, which sounds loudly.
A siren uses a perforated disk or drum to alternately block and unblock a stream of air. The classic siren has a spinning disk with a pattern of holes around its periphery. This disk is spun in front of a jet of air, producing pressure pulses that we hear as sound. A more modern siren has a spinning centrifugal fan that propels air radially outward through a pattern of holes in a drum around the fan. This centrifugal siren is much louder than the disc siren because the centrifugal system pushes large pulses of air through many openings at once, whereas the disc siren only has one pulsed source of air.
I can't think of an easy way to make sound waves visible while they travel through air, but it's relatively easy to make sound waves visible as they travel through materials. If you choose a system in which the sound waves bounce back and forth many times through a material, you can sometimes see the sound waves as they move. For example, partially fill a crystal wine glass with water and then rub your wet finger gently around the rim of the glass. With some practice, you'll be able to get the wine glass to emit a pure tone as your finger alternately sticks and slips its way around the glass rim. As this tone appears—the vibration of the crystal glass itself—the water will begin to exhibit beautiful ripple patterns. You should be able to see these ripples by looking at a bright light reflected from the water's surface. The ripples are sound waves that are travel through the water, back and forth, as the glass vibrates.
Another system that makes the movement of waves visible is a stiff, thin aluminum plate that's supported rigidly and horizontally at only one point. If you sprinkle fine sand lightly over the surface of this plate and then bow its edge with a violin bow, it will begin vibrating with a clear tone. As it vibrates, the sand will drift into places where there is very little surface motion—the nodes of the vibrating surface. Once again, sound waves are traveling back and forth across this surface and the up-down motions squeeze the sand into certain parts of the plate. In this case, the surface's vibrations and the sound waves in that surface are the same thing—in example of the fact that vibrations and sound waves are intimately related and are in many respects exactly the same thing.
An ultrasonic cleaner exposes a bath of liquid to very intense, very high frequency sound. Sound itself consists of regions of high and low pressure that move through a material as waves. As these waves pass through the liquid in the bath, each tiny portion of liquid vibrates back and forth in response to these pressure fluctuations. Near the surface of an object immersed in the bath, the liquid is pushed first toward the object and then away from it. The pressures involved are large and the changes in velocity within the liquid are so intense that occasionally the liquid will actually pull away completely from the object so that a tiny empty cavity forms. In effect, the liquid is jumping up and down on the object's surface and it occasionally jumps so hard that it leaves the surface altogether. Cavities of this sort are unstable and the liquid soon returns to the object. When it does return, the liquid collides violently with the surface and the liquid's pressure skyrockets as it transfers all of its momentum to the object in millionths of a second. This "cavitation" process is what cleans objects immersed in the ultrasonic bath—the dirt and grime are pounded free by the liquid when it returns to fill cavities that have formed during the vibrations.
You can tell how far away a lightning flash is by counting the time separating the flash from the thunderclap. Every five seconds is about a mile. The reason that this technique works is that light and sound travel at very different speeds. The light and sound are created simultaneously, but the light travels much faster than the sound. You see the flash almost immediately after it actually occurs, but the thunderclap takes time to reach your ears. You can determine how long it takes sound to travel from the lightning bolt to your ears by counting the seconds between the flash and the thunderclap. Since it takes sound about 5 seconds to travel a mile, you can determine the distance to the lightning bolt in miles by dividing the seconds of sound delay by 5.
If a whistle's tube is relatively narrow, its pitch is determined primarily by its length and by how many of its ends are open to the air. That's because as you blow the whistle, a "standing" sound wave forms inside it—the same sound wave that you hear as it "leaks" out of the whistle. If the whistle is open at both ends, almost half a wavelength of this standing sound wave will fit inside the tube. Since a sound's wavelength times its frequency must equal the speed of sound (331 meters per second or 1086 feet per second), a double-open whistle's pitch is approximately the speed of sound divided by twice its length. For example, a whistle that's 0.85 centimeters long can hold one wavelength of a sound with a frequency near 19,500 cycles per second—at the upper threshold of hearing for a young person. If the whistle is closed at one end, the air inside it vibrates somewhat different; only a quarter of a wavelength of the standing sound wave will fit inside the tube. In that case, its pitch is approximately the speed of sound divided by four times its length. However, if you blow a whistle hard enough, you can cause more wavelengths of a standing sound wave to fit inside it. A strongly blown double-open whistle can house any half-integer number of wavelengths (1/2, 1, 3/2, or more), emitting higher pitched tones as it does so. A strongly blown single-open whistle can house any odd quarter-integer number of wavelengths (1/4, 3/4, 5/4, or more).
No, there is no sound in space. That's because sound has to travel as a vibration in some material such as air or water or even stone. Since space is essentially empty, it cannot carry sound, at least not the sorts of sound that we are used to.
Devices that sense your presence are either bouncing some wave off you or they are passively detecting waves that you emit or reflect. The wave-bouncing detectors emit high frequency (ultrasonic) sound waves or radio waves and then look for reflections. If they detect changes in the intensity or frequency pattern of the reflected waves, they know that something has moved nearby and open the door. The passive detectors look for changes in the infrared or visible light patterns reaching a detector and open the door when they detect such changes.
I suspect that the air inside the car is vibrating the way it does inside an organ pipe or in a soda bottle when you blow carefully across the bottle's lip. This resonant effect is common in cars when one rear passenger window is opened slightly. In that case, air blowing across the opening in the window is easily deflected into or out of the opening and drives the air in the passenger compartment into vigorous vibration. In short, the car is acting like a giant whistle and because of its enormous size, its pitch is too low for you to hear. Instead, you feel the vibration as a sickening pulsation in the air pressure.
For the one-open-window problem, the solution is simple: open another window. That shifts the resonant frequency of the car's air and also helps to dampen the vibrations. Alternatively, you can close the opened window. In your case, the resonance appears to involve a less visible opening into the car, perhaps near the rear bumper. If you can close that leak, you may be able to stop the airflow from driving the air in the car into resonance. If you are unable to find the leak, your best bet is to do exactly what you've done: open another window.
To help you visualize how a string can vibrate at several frequencies at once, I wrote a flash program that shows you what a vibrating string looks like. That program should appear below this note. It allows you to adjust eight parameters: the amplitudes of the string's four simplest vibrational modes (its fundamental vibration through its fourth harmonic vibration) and the phases of those modes. The program starts with a pure fundamental vibration of the string, which is easy to visualize. But you can turn on the second, third, and fourth harmonic vibrations to whatever extent you like. What you'll observe is that a string that's vibrating at several frequencies at once has a complicated shape, but doesn't look all that unfamiliar. It's simply a mixture of several standing waves that evolve at different rates. As a result, it exhibits a fancy rippling shape that you've probably see on a jump rope or a clothesline.
If you look carefully at the string while it's vibrating in a mixture of several harmonics, you'll see that it has only one shape at any moment in time. It's just a jiggling string, after all. The parts of that shape, however, are evolving at different rates in time and those parts are actually the different harmonics going through their individual motions at their own frequencies.

Unfortunately, I had to work yesterday. No day off for me. Luckily I only work Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and then try to babysit on my days off. Welcome to the life of a recent college graduate. On this Tuesday morning I wanted to share a few things that I found helpful this week (and some every week).
The Skimm - - - Ladies, if you're not signed up for this newsletter, you're severely missing out. It's the first thing I read when I get to work. Alex thinks it caters to a female audience, but I'm sure some guys like it too.
16 Animals that Lasted Longer at the Gym Than You - - - Well, definitely me. Got a little laugh from their cute faces and fun poses. My favorite is the little pig and the first Frenchie. Too cute!
Newport Beach Restaurant Week - - - For those of you who are local, this link helped me plan my eating calendar for the next two weeks. It started yesterday and goes on through February 1. I know where I'll be dining.
CPR Certification (the link had to be taken down, but you can find all kinds of online Certification websites) - - - Something I think everyone should know. Brush up on your CPR (or first aid) knowledge, and you may help save someone's life. I've taken in person classes and just use these for re-certification, but if you haven't taken in person classes, I highly advise them.

Ali McGhee is a journalist, creative writer, and academic. Her work has appeared in The Edgar Allan Poe Review, Romantic Circles, Symbiosis: A Journal of Anglo-American Literary...
Baltimore-based Horse Lords, coming to the Mothlight on August 30th, are a hard band to categorize. Their new album, Interventions (Northern Spy) has a little bit of American rock, a bit of African rhythm, a helping of jazz, and a touch of experimental electronic. Guitarist Owen Gardner has characterized the group's sound as "vernacular minimalism." As with genres like folk music, Horse Lords employs techniques like repeated riffs and chords (as you might here at a square dance) and then intensifies those moments in hypnotic songs that are easy to lose yourself in. Their show at the Mothlight will include local openers Nest Egg.
Interventions is an album that rewards its listeners again and again. It showcases the immense talent of this band, and includes some incredible performers from its members (Max Eilbacher on bass, Gardner on guitar and banjo, Andrew Bernstein on saxophone, Sam Haberman on drums). It also gets playfully experimental. Some songs are--or are interrupted by--pieces of ambient noise. But nothing is overly cerebral. At the heart of the album is the driving, pulsing flow of looping rhythms that inspire dance.

Large Power Transformers Market Overview, Share, Development, Trends, Growth, Research and Analysis 2020
Press Release • Nov 24, 2016 08:15 EST
Power transformers connect electrical networks or systems of different voltages to allow power exchange between them. Power transformers are used for power generation, power transmission, electro-intensive industrial applications, and consumer applications. The demand for power transformers is expected to continually grow due to increasing electrification in emerging as well as developed economies.
Request a Sample Copy of the Report @ http://www.mrrse.com/sample/1206
Favorable government regulations for production of green energy are also expected to fuel the growth of the large power transformers market over the forecast period. Global environmental concerns highlight the need for lower emissions and water conservation in both existing and new power plants. As a result, leading companies such as Alstom have developed and introduced green transformers for environmentally delicate zones. Similarly, Crompton Greaves Ltd. designed, produced, and installed extremely low noise power transformers for environmentally critical regions.
Asia Pacific occupied the largest market share in 2013, which can be attributed to growing energy demands coupled with technological advancements in this region. Rest of the World economies such as the Middle East is expected to steadily expand their power infrastructures, attracting intense competition from global as well as regional market players.
Inquiry on this report @ http://www.mrrse.com/enquiry/1206
Large power transformers between the power ratings of 100 MVA and 500 MVA are expected to exhibit the fastest growth till 2020, in terms of revenue from 2014 to 2020. This growth is attributed to the fact that 100 MVA and 500 MVA rating transformers are the most widely used by utilities around the globe. Further, large power transformers between the power ratings of 801 MVA and 1200 MVA are expected to be used for HVDC and UHVDC power generation in the Asia Pacific and Middle East regions on account of rising energy demands in these regions in the near future.

Rescue Your Website With Search Engine Optimisation!
By not implementing SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), you are eliminating vast amounts of potential traffic to your website. Customers and businesses searching for your services in search engines will never be presented with your website in the results. Unless they know your business name or exact web address you will be virtually unheard of!
Resuscitating Your Content
One of the main culprits of poor SEO is having content that is not relevant to your industry or service. Sounds like a no-brainer right? Wrong! You would be surprised at how many people fail to mention the keywords for their industry. By not having relevant information, you can indirectly be seen as 'misleading' to the search engines and become hidden from the results. Title ordering is another point to consider, having a structured hierarchy of content is also essential for the implementation of your SEO and allows search engines to easily see what you're talking about, what's important – and what isn't. With these points you must also bear in mind spelling errors can be a major blow to SEO, you'll never be ranked for your chosen keyword or phrase if it's misspelled.
Descriptions And Tags
It is important to use a description to define the page content as this is a brief summary for what that page is about, helping the user find what they're looking for. Tags, on the other hand, are an effective way to group categories of similar content, it's great for usability as your users can easily access related information, you wouldn't want to be "tagged" as a Norman Nowhere now would you?
Site Map And Link Errors
Submitting a Site Map to Google is the equivalent of saying – "hello! I'm here, please look at me!". This notifies Google and other search engines that you exist. If you're waiting for the search engines to manually find you, you had better stock up on tea and biscuits as you'll be waiting a long time! Broken links and misdirected URLs are very poor for SEO which tend to occur when a website is being rebuilt or migrated. The best way to ensure that you don't run into these problems is to have redirects in place.
It's Good To Talk
Having a blog or a website that is constantly being updated is beneficial for SEO as Google and search engines love an updated website. Keeping your content fresh and current tells search engines that you deserve to be ranked higher over your competition. When publishing numerous blog posts you potentially widen the chances of people finding your website for a wide variety of topics.
If you have any questions or queries about any of the points mentioned above, or any questions in regards to SEO in general, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Mack Brown To Coach Texas Football
Mack Brown To Coach Texas Football
Dec. 04, 1997
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) _ Mack Brown, who spent 10 years building North Carolina into a football power, resigned Thursday and will now try to return Texas to the prominence it once enjoyed.
Brown, whose No. 7 Tar Heels are candidates for an alliance bowl berth, will inherit a Longhorn team that went 4-7 this season, leading to John Mackovic's dismissal last month.
``We've had a good run. We've had a good stay,'' Brown said. ``There's not any reason for me to leave here. I think it's the challenge of starting over. ... I never thought I'd leave here.''
Brown reportedly will receive $625,000 per year at Texas, considerably more than his base salary at North Carolina of $165,000, not including TV, radio and shoe deals.
He built a 69-46-1 record at North Carolina, which went 10-2 last year and made it to the Gator Bowl. The Tar Heels are 10-1 this season.
Brown announced his decision after meeting with his players. He said it hasn't been decided whether he will coach the Tar Heels in their bowl appearance.
``The hardest thing is to leave the kids,'' he said. ``I do love those kids. You probably spend more time with the football players than your own family.''
He and his wife on Thursday discussed moving to Austin, and Brown met with athletic director Dick Baddour shortly before his impromptu news conference.
``I felt it would be unfair to wait any longer for everybody involved,'' he said.
Brown said Baddour and Chancellor Michael Hooker ``did more than they should have done to try to get me to stay.''
Baddour likened the discussions leading to Brown's decision to the death of a relative or friend.
``I don't have a better friend than Mack Brown,'' he said. ``Mack Brown came here with a vision for North Carolina football, and I would say that vision has been achieved.''
Brown said North Carolina's recruits will be notified of his departure. He said he believes he will leave the football program in better shape than he found it.
``It's going to be real bad for them. I pray they don't go out and do nothing crazy,'' senior defensive end Greg Ellis said of the underclassmen. ... ``Some players in (the meeting) looked really hurt. I was really hurt. I can't possibly hurt like those other guys are hurting. Now, it's like, `What do I do?'''
Sophomore tight end Alge Crumpler said he won't let Brown's decision affect him.
``The guys who came before me, they laid the foundation for everything that's been built,'' Crumpler said. ``I'm just hoping to continue that.''
Texas gets a coach who has proved he can win at a school with strong academics and is an offensive coach who has also fielded strong defenses.
The Tar Heels are second to top-ranked Michigan in total defense, giving up just 209.3 yards per game.
Carolina's 45 wins over the past five years are second-best in the Atlantic Coast Conference, behind Florida State. The Tar Heels have made five consecutive bowl appearances, winning three. They lost to Texas 35-31 in the 1994 Sun Bowl.
Before coaching at North Carolina, Brown was at Tulane, where he had records of 1-10 (1985), 4-7 (1986) and 6-6 (1987). Brown coached Appalachian State for the 1983 season, finishing 6-5, before becoming offensive coordinator under Barry Switzer at Oklahoma in 1984.
Brown was offensive coordinator at LSU in 1982, a year in which the Tigers went 8-2-1 and played in the Orange Bowl. He also served as offensive coordinator at Iowa State and as receivers coach at Southern Mississippi and at Memphis State.

The last 8-9 months I've actually enjoyed (no I really have) the look on peoples faces, mostly strangers when they see my growing belly and then find out we have 3 little boys... sometimes it's "wow, another kid", "wow, four of them", "your done, right?" and then it's, "are you hoping for pink?", "oh I bet you'd love a girl", "I bet it's a girl this time around" all of these just make me laugh! Maybe it's because it's towards the end of my pregnancy and I've heard it all by now. The truth is, maybe I'd want a different gender or maybe not? I want a healthy baby first and for most! But the reality is, we really just wanted a big family and... Mission Accomplished :) Now Pink or Blue this baby was planned and created with lot's of love and will be the perfect fit to our family no matter what the gender is.
"I already have my boy and I want a girl now, OR I already have my girl and I just want a boy this time"
What happened to the cliche "just a healthy baby would be great" I really like that one and it would never rub anyone the wrong way. And what about those who have had to endure hurdles of testing, medications and interventions to become pregnant, and then some do and some don't become parents. I bet those comments would be slightly agitating, just like it might be to someone parenting all one gender. Everyone is of course entitled to be picky and to their own opinion. Thank goodness for that. I just chose to share mine today and maybe my Sunday Confession's might be too open book-like, but today I decided that I don't really mind if they are :)

Best Destin Beach House Rental, LLC
*Summer rentals run Saturday to Saturday
*Minimum rental age is 25 years old (exception for married couples
and active duty military)
*Pets are not allowed
*No smoking inside the condos
Does your dream vacation includes lounging on the balcony in the morning and watching the dolphins play in the surf while sipping coffee? Or playing in the surf and making sandcastles or lying under an umbrella with a good book? Or going to bed at night with the windows open listening to the surf of the Gulf of Mexico? If you answered yes to any of those this is the perfect spot for you!
This beautifully decorated condo comfortably accommodates 8 people and has a king-sized bed in the master bedroom, 1 queen bed and 1 bunk-bed in the guest bedroom, and a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living area. A washer & dryer are inside the unit in closet. All linens are supplied as well as a fully stocked kitchen with many accessories.
The kitchen is a modern one with granite countertops and brand new appliances, including refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher. The total unit is air conditioned. March through October will include full beach service--1 umbrella and 2 chairs daily. We also provide free Wi-Fi and parking.
This property is off the beaten track in a quiet area on Scenic Gulf Drive with many conveniences closeby within walking distance--restaurants, grocery, amusements, and outlet mall shopping. And the beachfront is huge--over 600 feet of crystal white sugar sand beach, (the equivalent of MORE than 2 football fields) the area's largest per unit.
And if you have an adventuresome side, you can go snorkelling, parasail, kayak or rent a jet ski just steps away. How about a surf lesson or a YOLO board lesson? Again, just a few steps away. Walk across the street and you have a biking/hiking trail that goes for miles along the water!
This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
We had a wonderful time and Jan was so helpful booking us on short notice. The condo was fully equipped with everything we needed. Will definitely stay here again.
Perfect for our little family and great location
WOW! That was my first impression after entering this unit! The ocean view is stunning and is accented by the wonderful art tastefully displayed in the unit. As a hobby artist, I found myself studying the works--felt like I was in a art gallery! The unit was well-equipped with everything we needed, clean and comfortable. For me, the best seat in the house is anywhere on the large lanai! It's literally right on the beach. You can see the large pool from the lanai--great if you have kids to keep track of--yet the unit remains very quiet. There are many fun things to do in this area but we found ourselves not wanting to leave the comforts and amenities this unit and the Beach House provided. It had everything to make for an amazing and memorable vacation. We will be back.

Fourth Win in a Row
BARC institute awards top marks to the windream ECM system once again
May 12, 2016 | Bochum. – The independent Business Application Research Center (BARC) from Würzburg awarded top marks to the windream ECM system by the software producer windream GmbH from Bochum once again. The IT experts of the BARC institute, who publish the producer-independent study on a regular basis, came to the conclusion that windream scored the maximum result of one hundred percent in nine out of eleven categories.
This means another improvement in two further test categories, since windream already achieved the maximum result in seven out of eleven categories in earlier BARC studies. The result shows that the ECM producer from Bochum is extraordinarily well positioned on the market with its ECM products – especially compared to other competitors – and offers exactly the solutions that customers expect of efficient and future-oriented ECM products.
Tests based on the brand-new windream version 6.5
The BARC tests already were performed on the basis of the windream version 6.5, which will be available for customers and interested parties in the second quarter of 2016. In addition to windream, seven further ECM producers took part in the BARC study with their products. Against these competitors, windream was able to stand its ground with a considerable lead. The BARC institute evaluates ECM systems on the basis of the following criteria: architecture, archiving, administration, integration, document import, meta-data & files, retrieval, working with documents, workflows, collaboration and e-mail management.

Summer is not yet over and I know that some of you are so excited to visit places, like Disneyland perhaps? Yeah that is absolutely fun!
But your lady here is not a huge fan of Disneyland (sorry but ain't sorry), but that doesn't mean that I don't like Disney. In fact am a huge fan of it! Just the Disneyland-thingy is not in my list.
So when Yeppunonnie Philippines gave me this LAPCOS x Disney Color-Fit Shadow Kit when I partied with them months ago (do check their parties here and here), I knew I have to right a review and shared its swatches too!
I love this eyeshadow kit because of its selected shades that suits perfectly to my taste, and also its Minnie and Mickey Mouse!
See how cutey this eyeshadow kit is? Comes in various neutral shades in matte and shimmer color. Let's see how this colors looks like in swatches.
This limited edition collaboration will makes every Mickey and Minnie Mouse fans so excited. The shades are perfect for Asian ladies that wants a natural-fresh look.
1 - Retro Mood Silver / 2 - Front Pink / 3 - Seed Brown / 4 - Watching Coral / 5 - Brown Rumor / 6 - Gold Casino / 7 - Temptation Brown / 8 - So Beige
Each shades are perfectly blends well to my tan-complexion and I think will pop more if you have a lighter complexion.
Regular Price is 25,000-Won but I only got this for FREE! Thank you Yeppunonnie Philippines!
It is now one of my favourite eyeshadow and wearing it like almost daily. You can wear the shades combined or just each shade, looks cool enough for a fresh-natural daily look, that is not over-powering.

Early Winter Forecast Calls for Warm North/West, Cold South/East
ANDOVER, MA--(Marketwired - September 22, 2014) - WSI (Weather Services International) has issued their latest forecast for the October-December period. The forecast indicates below-normal temperatures will be prevalent in the central US, with above-normal temperatures expected in the western and eastern thirds of the country. The most significant positive temperature anomalies will be again found in the Pacific Northwest. The WSI seasonal outlooks reference a standard 30-year normal (1981-2010).
According to WSI Chief Meteorologist Dr. Todd Crawford: "The relatively cool pattern that has been commonplace over the last year in the US has continued into September, with unusually cool temperatures observed across much of the northern US. Looking forward, the central US appears to have the greatest risk of below-normal temperatures as we head into the fall season, with above-normal temperatures more likely on the coasts, especially the Pacific Coast. As we head into winter, the changes in the Pacific associated with the El Nino event should alter the pattern a bit, with the area of below-normal temperatures moving to the southern/eastern US. While it is still early, it currently appears that the greatest risk for cold weather will occur during the back half of the winter in the eastern US."
In October, WSI sees the monthly breakdown as:
Northeast* - Warmer than normal
Southeast* - Warmer than normal
North Central * - Cooler than normal
South Central* - Cooler than normal
Northwest* - Warmer than normal
Southwest* - Cooler than normal AZ/NM, warm CA/NV
According to Chris Kostas, Senior Power and Gas Analyst at ESAI Power LLC: "With no significant seasonal temperature anomalies expected in October, weather-related energy demand should be soft to finish the gas-injection season. The weather impact on electrical demand and power prices should be overshadowed by generator maintenance schedules, with implied market heat-rates and power prices being supported by coal and nuclear maintenance schedules. With low seasonal and weather-related demand expected, natural-gas prices in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region will remain very soft and continue to trade at a sizable discount to Henry Hub. Seasonally-soft demand from the power sector, negligible demand from the heating sector, and continued natural-gas production growth (particularly from the Marcellus region) should allow for further gains against the year-over-year storage deficit, and will leave natural gas inventories in healthy shape heading into the winter."
In November, WSI forecasts:
Northeast - Warmer than normal
Southeast - Warmer than normal
North Central - Colder than normal
South Central - Colder than normal
Northwest - Warmer than normal
Southwest - Cooler than normal AZ/NM, warm CA/NV
Kostas added: "In November, warmer-than-normal temperatures and soft weather-related demand in the Northeast, Southeast, and West Coast should more than offset the colder-than-normal temperatures and increased weather-related demand expected in Texas and the Northern Plains. Below-normal aggregate weather-related demand should keep natural gas and power prices stable in November. We believe warmer-than-normal November temperatures along the population-heavy coastal regions of the East and West should also help to reduce the natural-gas inventory gap relative to last year and keep energy prices relatively stable heading into the winter."
In December, WSI forecasts:
Northeast - Warmer than normal
Southeast - Colder than normal
North Central - Warmer than normal
South Central - Colder than normal
Northwest - Warmer than normal
Southwest - Warmer than normal
Kostas noted: "Aggregate weather-related demand is expected to remain soft in December considering the forecast for warmer-than-normal temperatures for most of the country. The West Coast, Rockies, Central Plains, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions all expect to see warmer-than-normal temperatures and soft weather-related demand in December. Reduced weather-related demand from these regions should more than offset the above-normal weather-related demand expected along the Gulf Coast and should keep natural-gas prices soft through December. New England will be the exception and is widely expected to see higher delivered natural-gas prices and increased power prices associated with pipeline constraints (and the growing dependency on natural gas to power the electrical grid)."

3 people pulled from icy river in Amherst
Victims were duck hunting prior to incident
3 people pulled from icy river in Amherst
Victims were duck hunting prior to incident
Three people are recovering after their canoe overturned in the cold waters of the Souhegan River Sunday morning.
Police said the three were duck hunting around 8:30 a.m. Sunday when the victims fell in the water.
The fire chief said the victims were difficult to locate. One of the victims had drifted downstream with the canoe, two others were clinging to some branches.
Rescuers were able to get the victims to shore without going into the water.
All the hunter's personal items including their shotguns and decoys were recovered.
At last check, all three were taken to the hospital to be checked out for hypothermia. There is no word on their current condition.
Firefighters are still investigating the incident.

Rumer Willis In Talks For Music Deal
According to music insiders, Rumer Willis has drummed up a lot of interest from music executives with her "deep, husky" voice.
The 19-year-old's voice is unique to someone her age and is "in talks" for some projects, reports Fox News.
"She can definitely hold a good tune – keep in mind her mother, Demi, has a sultry, raspy voice, and father, Bruce, likens himself as being a blues artist," a music insider said. "With the right production and material, she could put out something solid and already people are talking."
Pop Tarts of Fox News obtained backstage footage of Rumer testing her pipes with some Dusty Springfield while being prepped for a photo shoot – and could see where the interest came from.

Sun legal manager Tom Crone has accused the Attorney General of intimidation after he prevented the paper from publishing the names of two footballers accused of rape.
Crone has questioned Lord Goldsmith's right to issue warnings to newspapers about prejudicial reporting of the case before any arrests had been made – as he did on Tuesday, 30 September.
Crone said: "There were no arrests, so why was the Attorney General sending out stuff that intimidates, chills and threatens the media?" Goldsmith stopped journalists from naming the two Premiership footballers with a phone call shortly before the paper's deadline. The Sun was threatened with an injunction if it disregarded the Government's advice.
The footballer gang rape affair stems from an incident alleged to have taken place in a room of the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 27 September.
After numerous press reports suggested that eight men had been involved, the News of the World published an interview with "party organiser" Nicholas Meikle. He claimed four men had been involved in the incident and sex had been consensual.
The police asked to see the News of the World's dossier, then last week arrested Meikle and another man (not a footballer) in connection with the incident. Both were named in the press but not pictured because visual identification could be an issue in the trial.
On Friday evening The Sun planned to name two Premiership footballers arrested in connection with the incident.
But as the presses were set to roll the paper was contacted by the Attorney General's office.
Crone said: "We got a phone call at 6pm from a Mr Hussein of the Attorney General's office, who said, 'Don't publish the names or pictures of the two Premiership footballers arrested on Friday. There is a strong likelihood of an ID parade.' "I said, 'That covers the picture, but how can that possibly prevent us publishing the name?'" Crone added: "It is a drastic injunction not to publish the names – it means people can be dragged off the streets by the police without being named. He said, 'If you publish it I will go up to a judge now.' "Why he has done it and how long is this in place? Are they going to walk into court unnamed? I'm hoping we will get some explanation, otherwise we will consider telling him to go to court so we can get the reasons in front of a judge."

Whilst the fish are young they are peaceful and will happily live together, but as they age the fish becomes a loner and may turn aggressive towards other fish of the same species. Bearing this in mind they are best kept in communities of similar sized hardy fish such as barbs, larger tetras, peaceful cichlids or rainbowfish. The Marbled Headstander will browse algae and take nibbles from delicate plants. If plant material is not available in the aquarium they should be fed some green foods. Provide hiding spots amongst wood and/or hardy plants.

Italy Presses for EMU Inclusion, But Britain Heads for the Door
LONDON -- The comic Groucho Marx once said he wouldn't belong to any club that would accept him as a member.
He could have been British. Because as much as Italy is determined to be a founding member of Europe's proposed economic and monetary union, slated to start in 1999, many Britons are just as resolved not to.

Indicted state Rep. Dawnna Dukes told KUT that the reason Texas House records show that she has missed nine out of the first 14 days of the legislative session is that her colleagues are not marking her present when she is in the chamber but not at her desk, a common practice.
"Absolutely, I've been there and the journal is not always correct," Dukes, an Austin Democrat, told KUT. "Apparently there's a new one or two that don't know the process."
Dukes' comments to KUT come a day after the American-Statesman reported that she had missed all but five of the first 14 days the House has met, according to the daily House journal. Dukes did not respond to a request for comment for that story.
A Statesman reporter has been present for most days the House has met so far, and Dukes was not in the chamber for many of them. Her desk is directly in front of the seating area for journalists.
Dukes' claim that she was in the House even when marked absent is problematic.
When a legislator is running late or is away from his or her desk, other members near the desk often mark the legislator present or even cast votes for the absent legislator, a practice allowed under House rules. Dukes is arguing that new members unfamiliar with the practice have failed to cast votes for her.
If that were the case, Dukes would likely be shown as absent for some votes and present for others, when she was near her desk. But in each of the days the Statesman cited as Dukes being absent, Dukes was marked absent for every vote the House took that day.
In the 2015 legislative session, Dukes missed 84 percent of House votes and 44 of 50 committee meetings, House records show. She cited medical issues stemming from a 2013 car crash as the reason for her absences last session.

By: Susan Bea Good
In just three months Glen Beck's Nazarene Fund has raised 12 million dollars to rescue Christians living under persecution in Muslim countries. These "vetted" Christian Middle Easterners are being relocated in European communities, as the US will not accept most of them.
Last week Barak Obama declared that the US does not apply a "religious test" to asylum seekers…insinuating that only bigots would offer gracious entry into the US to those who are in danger of losing their lives because of their Christian religious beliefs. The truth is something else. Religion has long been a strong factor in favor of American asylum.
The official US Refugee Asylum standards declare: "Every year people come to the United States seeking protection because they have suffered persecution…due to Race, Religion, Nationality…"
Notice that "religion" is among the top three reasons the US government recognizes for Asylum claims.
A current argument amongst Christian-Americans is over whether or not we should undertake a "rescue mission" for refugees fleeing Islamic terror in the Middle East. Some insist that all asylum-seekers must be accepted into the US. After all, "Mary and Joseph were refugees when they fled to Egypt to escape Herod's persecution." Therefore, how could a Christian reject a refugee?
As a Christian I believe my first responsibility is to help my brothers and sisters in Christ anywhere in the world. Helping Muslims is not my first priority. I make no apologies for revealing that God's Word tells me to answer the distress calls of the brethren first. Those Christ-followers in Syria, Iraq, and other anti-Christ dominated lands, are my first priority.
Of course there is also good will in my heart for Muslims who suffer under Islamic ideology, and as a result of "extremists" within their own communities. However, even Jesus' Good Samaritan example helped "from a distance." After he rescued the victim from imminent death, he made arrangements for transportation and further medical care. The Samaritan rescuer did not bring the victim into his own home!
Americans, represented by our government, should help those who are suffering under life-threatening conditions, as we always have done. But there are many options to save those in danger that do not include bringing the enemies of God into our land!
President Obama is currently bullying, threatening, and shaming Americans into a broad Muslim rescue mission that may destroy our families, homes, and way of life.
I don't believe that God asks us to surrender ourselves to deadly invaders!
"A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead…But a Samaritan…had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'" (Luke 10:30-35/ESV)
This blogger's purpose is to encourage Christ-followers to see God's Big Picture and be a part of it. Adonai Eloheinu!

Feed, why so complex?October 25, 2016
A feed is probably the most common data representation in mobile applications. Just have a look at any app on your phone - Facebook, Instagram, Tweetbot, and even your favourite e-mail or RSS client. Feeds are everywhere. Despite it's a pretty common task we still got a lot of questions about its implementation. The problem gets even harder when there are different content types in one feed.
I've faced this problem not very long ago in LiveJournal application. Our product manager suddenly decided to add new content types in post feeds - marketing notifications, like don't forget to turn push-notifications on, and beloved advertisements.
By the way, I've already made a blog post where I covered advertisement integration using promise pattern in more details.
The requirements for these elements were not straightforward at all.
- Show the first element with a specific advertisement identifier after the first 3 posts.
- After the first advertisement show ads with a different identifier after every 5 posts.
Notifications (we'll look only at one type, "Do not forget to turn push notifications on"):
- The item should be shown only in a specific kind of feed.
- The item should be second in the feed, but not the last one.
- The item should be shown on the first application launch.
- If a user scrolls the item without interacting it should be shown after 5 days or after 20 launches.
- If a user dismisses the item it should be shown after updating the application to a new version.
- If a user interacts with the item but doesn't register, it should be shown on the next launch.
- …and a couple of more rules.
The existence of such business requirements literally guarantees that they are not last and in the future we will be asked to integrate other types of feed content.
So, we had to design a module that would work independently of its content. Another nice feature to have was a kind of plugin system, that would allow to add new data sources and cells without touching the whole module.
Until this moment the logic of the feed VIPER module was pretty straightforward:
The first decision was switching to a declarative style of programming. I've created a simple
ContentModel class. Its purpose was to describe a feed and unambiguously identify the content type for each indexPath.
@interface ContentModel : NSObject <NSCopying>
- (void)registerSlotForItemType:(ContentListItemType)type
- (NSUInteger)obtainNumberOfItems;
- (ContentItemType)obtainTypeForPosition:(NSUInteger)position;
- (NSUInteger)obtainRelativeIndexForPosition:(NSUInteger)position
This model is retained by the presenter of the module and updates on every feed change event triggered either by user action (removing a notification cell) or by CoreData notification (inserting new posts).
There is another way. You can give up this intermediate state and form a new
ContentModel on every event - but sometimes it can affect the perfomance of your app. Consider these options when implementing your own feed.
The most interesting thing happens in the Interactor. When we want to obtain new ContentModel we call the method:
- (ContentModel *)obtainActualContentListContentModel {
ContentModel *contentModel = [ContentModel new];
for (id<DataProvider> provider in self.dataProviders) {
contentModel = [provider enrichContentModel:contentModel];
return contentModel;
The Interactor stores an array of
<DataProvider> objects responsible for providing elements only of a specific type.
Let's look at the implementation of a DataProvider responsible for working with posts. The first method is used to understand the kind of supported item:
- (BOOL)isResponsibleForItemType:(ContentItemType)itemType {
return itemType == ContentPostItem;
The second method is used for enriching the
ContentModel. It's implementation can rely on the information from
ContentModel which was added by previous providers. E.g. the
AdvertisementProvider may count the number of posts and insert its elements on the right places:
- (ContentModel *)enrichContentModel:(ContentModel *)contentModel {
NSUInteger numberOfPosts = self.controller.fetchedObjects.count;
for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < numberOfPosts; i++) {
[contentModel registerSlotForItemType:ContentListPostItem
return contentModel;
And the last method is used to obtain a specified item from the cache. Interactor passes its index relative to the current
DataProvider to simplify calculations.
- (id)obtainElementForRelativePosition:(NSUInteger)position {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:position
PostModelObject *post = [self.controller objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];
return post;
That's all for
DataProviders. The other part of the system is a
CellObjectFactory, which is responsible for creating a correct
CellObject (just a dumb view model) for a given model object. The implementation of the factory is straightforward:
@protocol ContentCellObjectFactory <NSObject>
- (id<ContentListCellObject>)cellObjectWithViewModel:(id)viewModel;
- (BOOL)canProcessViewModel:(id)viewModel;
So, when a
UITableViewDataSource needs a cell, it queries the array of cell object factories until one of them takes responsibility for a given type of model object.
Finally, let's see the whole data flow:
Let's see what we've got:
- Adding a new type of content is really simple. We just have to add two new objects:
DataProvider, which is responsible for enriching ContentModel and obtaining a model object
CellObjectFactory, which is responsible for creating a cell from a model object.
- We can decide whether to show a specific type of content based on a very complex set of rules.
- Each of content types can be easily disabled by using simple feature toggles.
- The whole feed VIPER module is pretty simple, easy to use, extend and maintain.
Besides this article, you can have a look at one of our internal meetups where my colleague gave a brief talk on the subject. And if you've got questions on how to implement feed pagination - my own talk will definitely help you with that.
