Computers have conditioned us to believe that up-to-the-second data should be accessible. We have ATM machines that serve our needs for cash in a very timely manner, airline reservation systems that provide very fast response times and bank teller systems that instantly tell us the status of our accounts. And behind the scenes, we have thousands of back office support systems that give two- to three-second response times.In fact, computers that are up-to-the-second accurate and fast are so ubiquitous that there is the appearance that all computers should provide up-to-the-second response times.
What is the business reason for up-to-the-second response times?
Let's consider a few examples. What happens when an ATM gives poor response time (e.g., 60 to 120 seconds)? In short order, the ATM falls into disuse. People assume that the ATM is not working and cancel the transaction. Or, consider airline reservation systems. What happens when the computer starts to give 60-second response times? A long line of passengers forms - all are waiting to get on a plane, all are nervously looking at their watches and all are becoming more irritated by the second. Not a pretty picture.
In both cases, when the system does not provide up-to-the-second response times, the customer suffers. And when the customer suffers, the business suffers.
Both ATMs and airline reservation systems need detailed data that is directly related to the customer or the customer's account. The data needed is of a limited amount and is subject to change at a moment's notice.
Now let's consider some other information needs. Let's suppose an organization is planning an expansion into the Northwest U.S. What kind of information needs do they have?
A normal part of such an expansion is the analysis of the demographics of the Northwest. How important is it that a demographic analysis be delivered as up-to-the-second information? Consider that people move infrequently. Given the vast amount of people and territory, the analysis is probably not going to be accurate up to the second in any case. Additionally, consider the nature of the decision being made. Is there going to be a decision to move to the Northwest if there are 253,902 citizens in Lacey, Washington, as opposed to 253,901 citizens? In this case, up-to-the-second information is nice to have, but it is almost irrelevant to the decision-making process.
And what can be said about the data needed to support this decision? The data is not at the detailed level. The data is not necessarily accurate up to the second. The data is collective. And, the data is not subject to immediate change.
However, the data is still important, and the data still needs some degree of accuracy. The data has the following characteristics: it is at the summary or aggregate level; it is not massively incorrect, but some units of data may be missing or incorrect and the final analysis will not be affected; it is collective, not relating to a single individual or product; and it is not subject to immediate change. These characteristics are very different from the characteristics of the data needed in a high performance response mode.
In terms of data usability, there is a case to be made for allowing data to "settle" before being used. When data is first entered into a system, there often is a need to make adjustments to the data. The best place to make adjustments to data that is not stable is in the operational environment, not the data warehouse environment. However, when data is rushed to the data warehouse environment, adjustments must be made in the data warehouse. This complicates the data warehouse immeasurably and unnecessarily. It is much better to allow the data to enter the operational environment, settle there until it becomes stable and then place the data in the data warehouse once it has stabilized.
The attempt to make all data and all transaction processing coming out of a computer high-performance is simply a theoretical idea taken to an extreme.

Roll Tide-ings: Potential commitments for Alabama this weekend; 5-star recruits galore expected in Tuscaloosa
Alabama is on the hunt for its seventh straight recruiting championship. Join us here on SEC Country for a daily recap of Alabama recruiting news, insight on what's happening behind the scenes, and for a glimpse at what's coming next.
Stars galore will walk Bryant-Denny's sidelines this Saturday
Commitment watch
There's a good chance Alabama will land at least one commitment this weekend when it hosts Texas A&M. Alabama fans should keep a close eye on 4-star defensive tackle Elijah Conliffe and 3-star tight end Major Tennison as both recruits could potentially pull the trigger and commit.
Tennison, who is taking an official visit, is the more likely prospect to commit. He has been on commitment watch since July, which is when he last visited Tuscaloosa. He spoke with SEC Country on Tuesday night and said he's down to three schools: Alabama, Georgia and Michigan.
But the reason why I think it's likely he commits this weekend or early next week is what he said about his potential trips to his other top schools.
"If Alabama is the place for me, I really don't think there's a need to take an official visit and put doubt in my mind when I've already been up there, talked to their coaches and experienced their specific towns," Tennison said. "Like I said, if I feel like Alabama is the place for me, then there's no reason to see anywhere else when those schools are going to put out all of the stops to impress me."
Alabama has a tight end commitment in the Class of 2017 in Kedrick James, but the Tide would like to add another. Tennison is the guy Alabama wants. It's very possible it gets him this weekend.
As for Conliffe, Alabama took the lead for him when he was offered by the Tide in July after attending one of the team's summer camps. He made it a goal to get that offer after leaving Tuscaloosa last year without it. Now that he has it, it's going to be hard for any other team to overtake the Tide.
"I just want to make sure that's the right choice," Conliffe said last month for why he hasn't committed yet. "I've pretty much seen all that I have wanted to see out of them already. I've seen how the coaches coach and how much passion they have for coaching. That's something I always look for in a coaching staff."
He still might decide to hold off on making a commitment this weekend because he did say in our last interview that he is going to film a commitment video and announce his decision that way.
Conliffe, who is taking an unofficial visit, will bring along his mother, which is always important in recruiting. It's likely his recruitment is over very soon, and I expect him to be in the Tide's class when he makes his decision.
Official visitors
— 5-star Florida State cornerback commit Stanford Samuels
Alabama would love to add Samuels to its secondary, but he's going to be a tough flip from Florida State. His father played for the Seminoles and remains very close to the program. However, if Jimbo Fisher were to leave Florida State for LSU, where the Tigers have him at the top of the wish list, things could surely get interesting for Samuels. Alabama has been Samuels' No. 2 school for some time now, so the Tide would benefit if he decides to change his commitment.
— 5-star running back Cam Akers
Akers was once committed to Alabama. He de-committed back in March to explore all of his options, and it seemed highly unlikely that he will rejoin the class. However, the visit shows us that the interest in Alabama is still there. Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Tennessee and Ole Miss all likely have a better shot at signing Akers than Alabama.
— 5-star linebacker Baron Browning
Browning, like Akers, likely won't end up in Alabama's class. Outside linebackers coach Tosh Lupoi would like to add Browning to Alabama's other four linebacker commitments, but the Tide are on the outside looking in at this point. Texas, UCLA, Texas A&M and Ohio State are in better position for Browning.
— 4-star Alabama linebacker commit VanDarius Cowan
Cowan is planning to take multiple official visits elsewhere, but his commitment to Alabama is solid. He's one of the team's best recruiters, as he's helped Alabama land several other highly rated recruits.
— 4-star safety DeAngelo Gibbs
Alabama is trying to gain better position in Gibbs' recruitment. Georgia and Tennessee are likely the top two teams for one of the top safety targets. The Tide need a safety in this class, and Gibbs is near the top of the wish list.
— 3-star Alabama junior college cornerback commit Jhavonte Dean
Dean committed to Alabama this summer and has not visited any other schools since then. He has no current plans of visiting any other schools. Florida assistant coach Randy Shannon visited Dean at his school earlier this week.
Canceled official visitor
— 4-star CB Jaylen Kelly-Powell
Kelly-Powell was supposed to take an official visit to Alabama this weekend, but he told SEC Country that he will no longer be in attendance.
Note: This is not the full nor official list. This is only the list of recruits who SEC Country has confirmed will be in attendance. We have also only included the recruits who Alabama is seriously pursuing.

I remember as a young child singing hymns in church. In the Mennonite churches where I grew up, the congregation sang a cappella and in parts – there was RARELY piano or other instrumental accompaniment. I have a lot of memories having a "hymn-sing" on a Sunday evening church service or even in my grandparent's home with our family. I also remember when my sister Rebekah was dedicated. The church we attended was a fairly new church and met in a gymnasium at the old high school/community center. After she was dedicated I sang the song "I Love You, Lord" (I know, it's not a hymn…). I was very young, but I can still remember singing my heart out – I didn't care what people thought – I was singing to the Lord! This is the same song that was sung at my grandfather's funeral back in high school. To this day I cannot sing that song without tears in my eyes. Needless to say, my love of music has its roots in hymns.
So back to hymns….My grandfather was a hymn-lover and so am I! I really love the older hymns – so old that no one knows them! Micah and I have often sat at our piano singing and playing out of the hymnal. The part of hymns that my grandfather loved was the text. He and my grandmother started attending Parkview Church in Iowa City several years ago. At Parkview, the music is more "contemporary" (I hate that term). My grandfather would say that this new music just sang the same text over and over and over whereas the text was always changing when they would sing hymns. He also said that the texts were very powerful and the contemporary music text just wasn't up to par. Of course at his funeral in 2008, we sang lots of hymns – most of them I could not sing because of my emotional state. I still get teared up when singing some of his favorites like Great is Thy Faithfulness and How Great Thou Art. Fun memories…..I miss him so much, but I know he is in heaven, able to walk (he suffered from Polio) – and I'm sure dancing for the Lord, as my grandmother says.
Back to hymns…..again! I think my grandfather has a point about the text of music. Being a musician, it can sometimes be difficult for me to worship – I focus too much on techniques, what sounds acceptable/unacceptable, etc. I absolutely love attending a church where a majority of my worship time is truly spent worshiping the Lord. However, this is something I have to continually work on. A couple weeks ago we had a Sunday night of praise with the choir. And within all of the music we sang some older hymns out of the hymnal. Out of all of the music the entire evening, the hymns were the most powerful to me – all because of the text. I'm no songwriter, but in writing music I really think that the text should be what grabs the people. Melodies and harmonies are important (don't get me wrong – I know!), but I believe that the text is a vital part of a worship experience that can bring us closer to God.
Thoughts? Am I completely off-base? Remember, I am biased – I LOVE OLD TRADITIONAL HYMNS, but I like "contemporary" worship as well. Can anyone think of a better term rather than "contemporary"?

Have I mentioned that you will have to drag my dead body out of our next home? Because this is the last time I will ever move. Seriously. This house selling stuff is RIDICULOUS!
First off, the repeat lookers who came Tuesday night, well we found out that our house is one of two they are considering. They can't decide between the two houses so they've decided to sleep on it--until NEXT WEEK--and then make an offer on one of the homes. The good news is that we have a 50% chance of getting an offer next week. The bad news is that we have to wait until next week, have a 50% chance of NOT getting an offer, and the pessimist in me thinks that they will low ball and if they don't get the price they want then they'll just make an offer on the other house. All this doesn't bode well for us, because we've already dropped our price and we don't have much wiggle room left.
Second, after getting that news last night I was bummed, so I took the night off and did zero picking up after Raya went to bed. If you don't have kids this may not sound like a big deal, but if you do have kids I'm sure you can picture the destruction that one day can cause and not picking up at night means choas in the morning! Well this morning I'm sipping my coffee, ignoring the destruction around me, and I get a phone call from the realtor's secretary asking if they can do a showing THIS AFTERNOON. I literally said "oh good lord!"....she laughed at me. So then I spent my whole morning cleaning (Only me and my mother vacuum and mop daily--and only my mother enjoys it :-P), tried putting Raya down for an early nap since we'd have a showing during nap time (she yelled for me for over an hour until she finally fell asleep b/c she wasn't tired)....then I had to wake her up and get both kids and both dogs out of the house!
All this probably would have been "funny" looking back if I had come home to an offer on the table or something ...but instead I came home to all my lights left on and not a single paper (brochure/disclosure) had been touched! This has always meant they aren't interested in the past. So basically today was the day from hell and all for nothing. One of these times I'm just going to say screw it and let them come through the house all messy.
Ok, I'm going to force myself to make lemonade from these f-ing lemons. My house is clean now. That is good.

Coffee Table. Friday , November 10th , 2017 - 23:48:05 PM
The choices that you make regarding the size, shape, cost, material and style of the coffee table are thus vitally important to making your living room a welcoming space and setting the tone that you desire for your home.
The coffee table generally sits in the expanse between the sofas and the television, and whilst it does offer a handy place to pop your glass of wine, its central location means that most eyes fall on it when they look at the room, and it becomes the most important focal point. So, are you the arty type with heavy art books and sketch books stacked sky high, or perhaps a slightly uptight neat freak, with a spotless surface and a coaster at the ready? Regardless of what your personality really is, or who you want to project, spending some time considering the presentation of your coffee table, just as you would a display on a buffet or dresser could make a huge difference to your room. If you want to create a coffee table display, select pieces with a similar theme and group them together, then balance the display with an off centre vase of flowers, or bowl. If you prefer to keep your coffee table surface clear, look for a coffee table design that makes more of a statement, to add interest to the centre of the room, if you have a minimalist theme, create depth by contrasting shapes, a simple round vase on a square table for example.
The purpose of a coffee table seems rather straight forward, at its most basic level it is a table in the centre of your living room on which you can put your coffee, magazines, and remotes, it may also moonlight as a dining table, a desk, a children everything table and a footrest, or at times double up as extra seating or a place to sort your washing. This relatively straightforward piece of furniture however has the potential to define your character, or at least the objects on it do, so what does your coffee table say about you.

Army amputee wants to pick up where he left off
By William Cole
Advertiser Military Writer
Spc. Brandon Wooldridge bears another distinction from combat: His left leg ends six inches below the knee. From there down, it's carbon fiber and titanium that's sheathed in his black combat boot.
Despite that, Wooldridge's movements and appearance are pretty much indistinguishable from other soldiers, and that's how he wants it to stay.
Ten months after the 24-year-old's calf was blown off in a firefight and doctors amputated his lower leg, the Schofield Barracks soldier is back with his unit, and his goal is to stay infantry.
"I'm supposed to be able to do that. That's what I'm pushing for," he said. "My medical board's in November. Hopefully, they'll let me stay."

Napoles driver seeks dismissal of plunder, graft cases against him
MANILA, Philippines—The driver-messenger of businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles, the alleged mastermind in the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam, asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to dismiss the plunder and graft cases against him.
In a 60-page petition, petitioner John Raymund De Asis through his lawyer Kristel Concepcion Ona, also asked the Court to recall the arrest warrant issued against him by the Sandiganbayan.
De Asis, in his petitions said the Office of the Ombudsman gravely abused its discretion when it ordered the filing of a string of criminal cases against him.
Documents showed that De Asis was listed as president of Kaupdanan para sa Magsasaka Foundation Incorporation (KPMFI), one of the alleged non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that was used as conduit for the pork barrel scam. But he said he has no knowledge of the creation of the KPMFI.
"Petitioner did neither knowingly directly or indirectly agree to, nor take part in the incorporation and management of affairs of KPMFI, or any NGO for that matter. The evidence on record, testimony of the witnesses and sworn admissions of the respondents in the Ombudsman case establish that petitioner took no part in the incorporation and management of the NGO's," the petition stated.
De Asis added the basis for including him in the charge sheet was only because he delivered money from the office to the house of Napoles. He said he also pick up checks and deposits them in banks.
These, he said, are part of his functions as Napoles' driver-messenger.
"As far as petitioner is concerned, he was only performing his duties in good faith as a driver/messenger/janitor. Petitioner cannot be held criminally liable for fulfilling his legal duties or office," de Asis said.
"Apart from merely stating that petitioner de Asis was named as the president KPMFI, there was no other allegation, much less proof, to substantiate the charge against petitioner for plunder," he added.
He pointed out that case against him failed to show that he connived with any public officer, amassed and accumulated ill-gotten wealth and that the aggregate amount of the ill-gotten wealth amassed at least P50 million.
"Apart from failing to show that petitioner de Asis directly or indirectly and knowingly took part in the commission of the foregoing acts, with criminal intent, the NBI complaint also failed to show that petitioner in fact conspired with the other respondents in the Ombudsman case," he added.
Meanwhile, Napoles' lawyer Stephen David said the case against De Asis should be dismissed since he was only given errands by Napoles.
He said if Luy's defense was because he was only following orders from Napoles and he was not charged, De Asis should also be included in the complaint because they are in the same situation—a mere employee.

This is Friday for me, after today, I won't go back to work until Monday. But this day will be quite long, until eight, and I have a ton to do. As usual. I am looking forward to a couple of days off, although I am wondering how the few days together will be for H and I. We have been a little off, to put it mildly. I am not sure how long we will be gone this weekend, I guess we will play it by ear. I would like to go my older sisters city of residence on Saturday, but i have not called to see if they are busy that evening. They usually are, they are the type that makes plans well in advance. It wouldn't break my heart if we came home that day either, as the Bud Shootout is on Saturday night, but if they are available, we will just tivo the race and watch it when we get home on Sunday. Ah, such dilemma's..
I have been having the worst nightmare's recently. I have never been one to dream alot, or if I do, I don't remember them, but the past couple of weeks, I have mostly BAD dreams every night. I don't like this and i have no idea what would cause it. Last night, I woke up at twelve-thirty, particularly troubled about the dream, and called YS to make sure he was okay. What do you think, am I totally gone? Perhaps. I was so disturbed that I wanted to call all of them, but I knew that OS would be asleep and he would kill me, and I assumed that D would still be out on the town for her birthday. After a few minutes of talking myself out of it, I felt better, but it was a long time until I could go back to sleep. And I'm sure that YS thinks i have gone over the edge. Whatever. It wouldn't be the first time they have thought that.
OS is coming here for the weekend to take care of crazydog. That is a big job. I want a normal dog so bad. I love CD but she makes it really hard to be close to her---I swear she is out to get me. I came home from work on Monday night, and she came running from the direction opposite of what I expected her to, and she jumped on me and gave me a shove that would have taken me all the way across the kitchen had the table not been in the way. As it is, she left me with a lump on my upper thigh where it struck the table. It reminded me of Elaine on Seinfeld "get out!" it was that kind of push, only on my back. My Mom's dogs are so sweet, they love me, they don't even WANT to beat me up. That is one of the reasons I love visiting her, to see her puppies.
I guess I should get the day started. I am tired this morning, and my right leg is not listening to me. I hope your day is good----Later.

I agree there customer service ha seen improving a lot.
I agree there customer service ha seen improving a lot.
What were they smoking?
I find Bell and Videotron to be a lot worse than Rogers in terms of Customer Service. That does not mean that Rogers is excellent, great, or good. It just means that the other providers that I've dealt with are/were worse.
Unlimited Fido Data Plan: Netgear Aircard LTE Mobile Hotspot
My Tech Blog
To be honest, I've had great customer service in the past with Rogers, and do now as well with Koodo.
Maybe it's the tone a person takes with them... just a thought.
Un-Rogered, and getting better 'value'.
robbers and mobilesyrup have always had a close relationship.... I'm not suprised those shills are selling the idea robbers has improved anything.... what a joke.
I've worked for Rogers for over a year and found their customer service to be generally mediocre- I was embarrassed to be associated with the brand lol. I signed up to Bell and never had any issues with them for either Fibe or mobile. I found the reps very very good any time I rang for whatever reason and knowledgable. I know that this is generally the opposite of what people say about Bell but upon experience I would recommend Bell and their customer service over Rogers any day. I do have a PAYG on Telus and the service is excellent but I've never actually dealt with care aside from when I purchased my sim car. I hear Rogers customer service has improved since I left a year ago but I'd genuinely be surprised.
Compared to Bell, even the duct cleaning calls from India offer better customer service, so I guess it should be no surprise.
HoFo'er for 11 years and counting.
Quality, Not Quantity.
Ive noticed an improvement recently. Had to call in to renegotiate my tv+internet+home phone package (credits were expiring). I was pleasantly surprised that I didnt have to argue at all. The rep offered me something very lucrative. She was polite throughout the entire process, and I was happily on my way in less than 30 mins. Also took less than 10 mins to get thru to someone. I can only assume customer service on the wireless side has also improved. Granted this was just one instance but it was far better than what I experienced the previous few times I had to call in.
Relevant to this conversation...
(Those who don't want to click the links...Rogers and Bell insiders talk about how they are pressured to sell sell sell)


text: I've always been loading my images from Flickr, because I liked the way they clicked back there. But this has stopped working (many others are having the same problem) so when my last post didn't go, I uploaded and image from my laptop and WOW! I like the size of it much better. I will try the same with this post. The test post from Flickr (see post below) came through but not the real one. Goofy, no?

Chemosynthesis is a unique biological process the following quiz and worksheet will test your knowledge of chemosynthesis and help you better. During chemosynthesis, bacteria living on the sea floor or within animals use energy stored in the chemical bonds of hydrogen sulfide and methane to make glucose from water and carbon dioxide (dissolved in sea water) pure sulfur and sulfur compounds are produced as by-products. Wwwnjctlorg ap biology big idea 2 big idea 2: multiple choice big idea 2a 1 various materials are transported into and out of cells by simple diffusion. Chemosynthesis is a process of converting chemicals into the carbohydrates and energy that all organisms need to function chemosynthesis and photosynthesis are. Hydrogen sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula h 2 sit is a colorless gas with the characteristic odor of rotten eggsit is very poisonous, corrosive, and flammable. What might life on europa be like one of the very important forms of chemosynthesis here on earth is hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis this form of energy. Hint 1 review the equation for chemosynthesis answer: glucose and oxygen carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, water starch, enzymes water hydrogen sulfide carbon dioxide glucose correct the energy in inorganic hydrogen sulfide can be transformed into glucose sugars in the process of chemosynthesis. Chemosynthesis: co 2 + o 2 + h 2 s c 6 h 12 o 6 + h 2 o + s _____ 1 write the reactants and products of each equation in words on the lines above (hint: h 2 s = hydrogen sulfide and s = sulfur) 2 if the reactants and/or products are the same in each equations, cross them out (this will help you identify how the equations differ) 3.
What is the word and symbol equation for chemosynthesis. The chemical equation is 6co2+6h2o+3h2s to c6h12o6+ 3 h2so4. In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (eg, hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis. Chemosynthesis occurs in environments where sunlight is not able to penetrate, such as in hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean, coastal sediments, volcanoes, water in caves, cold seeps in the ocean floor, terrestrial hot springs, sunken ships, and within the decayed bodies of whales, among many others.
1 deep-sea vent and seep communities – tutorial script to finish up with benthic ecosystems of the oceans, let's review some of the special seep and vent communities. How can the answer be improved.
Chemosynthesis is the use of energy released by inorganic chemical reactions to produce food it is analogous to the more familiar process of photosynthesis in photosynthesis, plants grow in sunlight, capturing solar energy to make organic matter in chemosynthesis, bacteria grow in mineral-rich water, harnessing chemical energy to. Hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis - in bacteria capable of chemosynthesis, such as purple sulfur bacteria, yellow drops of sulfur are present and visible in the bacterial. Chemosynthesis vs photosynthesis during chemosynthesis, energy comes from hydrogen sulfide from hydrothermal vents in contrast, energy for photosynthesis comes from sunlight in contrast, energy for photosynthesis comes from sunlight. They use the energy in chemical bonds of hydrogen sulfide to make glucose using carbon dioxide and water.
What is the chemical formula of chemosynthesis:hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis ----- hydrogen sulfide (h2s=energy)+ oxygen. What is the equation for chemosynthesis what is the word and symbol equation for chemosynthesis follow 7 answers 7. Chemosynthesis 02 + 4h2s + c02 _ ch20 + 4s +3h20 oxygen hydrogen sulfide carbon dioxide organic carbon sulfur water activity using various colors of gumdrops and toothpicks, build the formula for both chemosynthesis and photosynthesis for example h molecules- orange gumdrops, carbon molecules- green and oxygen,-purple.
Hydrogen sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula h 2 s it is a colorless gas with the characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs it is very poisonous, corrosive, and flammable hydrogen sulfide often results from the microbial breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen gas, such as in swamps and sewers this process is. Rotten egg odor sulfate sulfides hydrogen sulfide and sulfate reducing bacteria.
Chemical equation for chemosynthesis of sugar - a subject to preview related courses:this reaction is only slightly different than the equation for photosynthesis, where sunlight combines with carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen gas and chemosynthesis are both processes by which organisms produce food photosynthesis is powered by sunlight while chemosynthesis. Chemosynthesis is the process of converting carbon in the form of carbon dioxide or methane into organic molecules, without sunlight present insteadchemosynthesis is a process certain organisms use to obtain energy for the production of food, converting sulfate to sulfide in the processthe bottom line is that you cannot get from low energy substances (water, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide. Chemosynthesis - wikipediahydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis: 12h 2 s + 6c o 2 → c 6 h 12 o 6 (=carbohydrate) + 6h 2 o + 12 s instead of releasing oxygen gas as in photosynthesis hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis equation:: essay on essay on success comes to those who will and dare good conclusion for frankenstein essay essay on. The cell respiration components on earth c6h12o6 + 6 o2 + 36 adp + 36 pi —- 6 co2 + 6 h2o + 36 atp + heat the cell respiration equation is the single most important chemical reaction occurring in the body of any multicellular living thing on earth.
Is this hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis or just chemosynthesis or something else it seems to be missing a few components if its chemosynthesis. Equation in this case, hydrogen sulfide plus carbon dioxide becomes sugar, water and sulfur gas the chemical equation is: 12h2s + 6co2 ----- c6h12o6 + 6h2o + 12s this reaction is only slightly different than the equation for photosynthesis, where sunlight combines with carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen gas notice how. Photosynthesis: co2 + 6h20 -- c6h12o6 + 6o2 - chemosynthesis requires hydrogen sulfide - chemosynthesis uses chemical energy - photosynthesis uses light. What is chemosynthesis if you're a student who studies biology, you should know the answer to this question to be able to do your homework. From chemosynthetic bacteria can make their sugars through the process of hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis.

How is everybody doing?
So this past week has been a little bit crazy. We have a sister who has been giving us dinner this past week and two of the meals that we have eaten was a fish soup that literally tasted like the smell of Fisherman's Wharf, so that was super great. We also had a meal of cow liver with rice. I am starting to realize how different Colombia is from the United States.
Speaking of which, happy 4th of July!! I can't believe that it is already the month of July. The time has flown by since I got here and continues getting faster every day. I really couldn't find any way to celebrate today so we just went to the mall and ate a knock-off of Subway. It was a little sad, but Colombian Independence Day will be the 20th of this month so I'm sure that will be a special day here.
So about the work here, there isn't very much that has happened here lately. We have been working with Carlos and Yadiris getting them ready for baptism. They have been working hard to get married and are working for the 10th of this month if everything goes well. The date that we have planned for their baptism is the 23rd of July so they can get baptized just a few weeks before I will probably be leaving this area.
I hope everything is going well at home. Nothing really big has happened here but I'll try to take pictures this week. The only problem is that we are really restricted on when we can have our cameras but I'll do my best.
See you guys soon,
Elder Parker

Blue Marble: The Next Generation
Credit: Reto Stockli, NASA
Above are two new "Blue Marble" images of Earth's Eastern and Western Hemispheres, including cloud cover, oceans, phytoplankton activity, topography, and city lights in the nightime part of the hemisphere.
The original project, Blue Marble 2000, was completed for the 30th anniversary of Earth Day and aimed to recreate the view of Earth that Apollo astronauts had from space. The final image, released in April 2000, displayed cloud cover from a single day, the oceans, exaggerated topographic features and vegetation for the Western Hemisphere.
The new images have combined even more of Earth's features into more complete, higher-resolution images of both the Eastern and Western hemisphere. The data used to create the new images span a longer period of time than the original and have a resolution of 500 meters (1,600 feet), versus the 1,000 meters (3, 273 feet) resolution of the older image.
Measurements of reflected sunlight taken by the NASA instrument Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) (aboard both the Terra and Aqua satellites) in July 2004 were used to recreate the land surfaces. MODIS observations of daytime sea ice between late August and early September 2001 were used to recreate polar sea ice in the image.
The ocean was generated by combining Terra MODIS observations of the reflectance of sea water with Aqua MODIS observations of chlorophyll content data over the open ocean to represent the activity of phytoplankton.
Cloud cover is taken from a single-day snapshot by MODIS on July 29, 2001.
City lights as they would appear on Earth at night were taken from data collected by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program mission between 1994 and 1995.
Topography is based on radar data collected by the Space Shuttle Endeavor during an 11-day mission in February 2000.
The new project, dubbed Blue Marble: Next Generation, also includes other images that are monthly composites of the Earth that show the seasonal variations in vegetation and ice cover over an entire year.

The Greek Festival has drawn thousands to the N.C. State Fairgrounds for more than 30 years, but things aren't quite as cramped as they were in the past.
The festival started in 1982 in the 20,000-square-foot Kerr Scott Building until its growing popularity saw it move to the 50,000-square-foot Exposition Center. For the second year in a row, the festival is at the 95,000-square-foot Jim Graham Building, allowing greater comfort for the more than 15,000 people expected to come to the three-day event.
"It's just so much easier to get around in than the Expo Center," Frances Mathes, volunteer coordinator for the festival, said Saturday. "You don't have to look around now for a seat."
Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Raleigh, which is holding its 34th annual Greek Festival through Sunday, has taken advantage of the additional space for features such as more tables for diners and an activity area for children.
The festival began as a way to promote Greek culture and to raise money for the church. Now more than 200 volunteers from the parish work to pull off the festival so that a portion of the proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity of Wake County, which builds affordable homes that are sold to families at no profit.
The festival raised $14,000 for Habit for Humanity last year and $175,000 over the years for the nonprofit group, according to Jason Kekas, the festival's coordinator.
"The community has given so much to us over the years that we wanted to give something back," Kekas said.
For many who attend the three-day festival, the food remains the big draw. Traditional Greek dishes such as moussaka, gyros, spanakopita and baklava are mixed with newer offerings such as grilled calamari.
"There's nowhere else where you can sit and enjoy great music and dancing while enjoying great Greek food," said Monica Inzaina of Fuquay-Varina, who came Saturday with her husband and two daughters.
Inzaina also bought a dress for her 7-year-old daughter, Tori, in the marketplace area.
Among the vendors in the marketplace was Panagia Prousiotissa Greek Orthodox Monastery located in Troy in Montgomery County. The monastery is selling handmade items such as jams, stone icons and candles.
"We live on donations, so we make these items to sell," said Abbess Agne of the monastery. "These good people wanted us to be here."
The festival attracts far more than people with a Greek background. Tony Littlejohn of Cary said he came because he was impressed with the resilience of the Greek people when he was a chief petty officer in the U.S. Navy stationed in Crete in the early 2000s.
"I enjoy Greek culture and all that it stands for," Littlejohn said. "Their history is phenomenal."
Resilience is something that Greece has needed over the past year as the people react to a $97.4 billion bailout deal that includes deep spending cuts as the financially-strapped country deals with tens of thousands of refugees from the Middle East and Africa. National elections will be held Sept. 20.
"It's sad what's going on there," said Kekas, the festival coordinator. "But we try not to get involved with politics."

Hi friends,
This afternoon I've been busy making a card for a swap so I thought I would share with you what prompted this particular card. In an online stamp club that I belong to, 2000 Stampers, recent discussion has been about coloring mediums. Copic markers were mentioned several times. Most said they loved the Copics but hadn't been able to master the shading technique. I have to admit that I haven't invested in Copics because most of the time I don't have the patience to spend enough time shading. I did take a class one time from Ellen Hutson using Copics and the results were fabulous. Using a less expensive medium, I pretty much can get the same results using a paint brush doing watercolor with Marvy Markers. If I had a bigger arts & crafts budget, then . . . . But you know how that goes. I might be tempted yet. In the meantime, one of the coloring mediums that I like to use is Radiant Pearls. This CD was altered by stippling it with several colors of Radiant Pearls. Stippling is a fast way to cover an area and make a background for stamping. I used Memories dye ink for the stamping. Stazon might work ok, but I haven't tried it yet. To embellish this Altered CD, I stamped an image on vellum, roughly tore around the edges, and used a Thermo-o-web vellum adhesive runner to attach it to the CD. I love this adhesive - it does a super good job of being invisible. Lastly, 3 flower buttons were added. To attach the CD to the Card I used Scotch Adhesive Transfer Tape. This is another tape that I think is wonderful and is absolutely the best to use on pages of altered books. If you use glue to stick the pages together they become stiff, but with the transfer tape, the pages remain pliable and soft. If you've made some altered CD's, I love for you to leave me a link where I can see them. If you haven't tried this technique yet, then I encourage you to give it a try. If you mess up the first one, toss it in the waste can and grab another CD. There seems to be a never-ending supply coming through the mail. Happy stamping and may the Lord cover you with His love.

This book begins with two brothers, Peter and Martin, who would love to have a dog. They love where they live and feel a dog would be a great addition. the one downfall to their home is they have a ghost. When their parents decide to allow the boys to get a dog, they are all excited and looking forward to getting the largest dog they can find. Mom and Dad had other thoughts so they ended up with a smaller dog. They are happy with the dog but they become even happier when a sheepdog showed up and decided to stay.
This book has characters and a story line that young readers will enjoy.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Since I mentioned my marathon cooking session, several people have asked me to let them know how it went. I actually had four freezer, cook one day eat for a month type of cookbooks already. I decided to go with the 2 week plan to start since it is normally only the two of us eating dinner, but we still wanted to have leftovers to use for lunches. I decided to use the Frozen Assets Cook for a Day Eat for a Month book by Deborah Taylor-Hough. There were a couple of reasons that I decided to start with this one. The first one being that a friend had given me a couple of recipes to try and I enjoyed them and they tasted good when they were thawed and served. Another was that the recipes seemed to be a little more economical than the other books I have. Here is a picture of my fully stocked freezer:So we are set for a while! It was a long day of cooking but hopefully I will be able to really notice a difference during the week when our schedules are more than a little crazy. That's pretty much everything I made, except the soup that is in the refrigerator. I do have a couple of suggestions if you want to try this:

Good ideas, both of them. I like to cook ahead also - it sure is nice when time is short or life is crazy. Take Care, Dru

The card box it a great idea. I have one that is over-flowing! :) Need to mail some out.
I also do a lot of cooking/prep ahead of time. It really does help out. Another thing I like to do is keep a nice stack of recipes that I can whip up in 10-15 minutes or crock pot recipes. It also helps to keep the panty stocked with items you use all the time. Hope those meals make your life easier. Happy New Year!

Great ideas gia! I bought a clear card organizer from Office Depot and it's really helped me get organized with pre-made cards. Good luck with the cooking too and such. We unfortunately have a TINY refrigerator. I HATE it! so, this really wouldn't work for me but, it's still a great idea. TFS! Happy New Years to you and yours!!

Okay, I have never heard of cooking for one day and eating for a month!!! I've heard of eating for a week. I have got to check out that book you are talking about. I bet you would save a lot of money too by buying meat and such in bulk. You'll have to let me know how everything turned out.
Love how you personalized your box. After reading Nichole Heady's blog I just HAD to redo mine. LOL!

This is a great idea. It is also a good way to take food to someone with a long term illness or can't cook for themselves. I like to take a hot meal and a frozen meal so they will have dinner and another meal when they are ready to eat it. TFS!

Learned an important lesson today
Created January 12, 2013 at 8:42 PM
I have been eating a paleo diet for the last week, and today I really learned a lesson about eating properly and doing manual work.
I am guessing I have been verging on a LC diet since I am basically a carb addict. This week has been all meats and veggies with some fruit. I have completely eliminated processed sugars, legumes and grains so far.
Today, I had to do some manual labor (unloading 20,000 lbs from a semi truck by hand). I was really feeling a lack of energy by the time we were 2/3 done and at the end I was even feeling a little dizzy and tingly. When I came in the house I succumbed to the need for a peanut butter sandwich on white bread.
My question is how to strike the right balance of high energy providing foods with my need to lose weight. Do I simply carb load ahead of time? Should I have had a size of pancakes and syrup with my bacon and eggs this morning?
I want to know how to plan ahead for these needs and not eat something random on the rebound like I did today.
on January 12, 2013

Maybe not pancakes but hashbrowns.

Thanks tecleaf. Thankfully my job is not doing manual labor, I also sit at a desk all week working on the computer. I am new to this and I have felt pretty good so far (sinus issues have improved drastically). I do need to do work like this 3-4 times per year, and I just need to know the best way to prep myself for these occasions.

Sounds like you are the definition of a sugar burner (i.e. metabolic syndrome). Takes time to transition to utilizing your bodies stores of energy more efficiently. Just keep working at it and you will get there.
As to how to plan ahead thats pretty easy. Get rid of stuff in the house thats not suppose to be on the menu and stock up on what is.

It sounds from what you've said that you're new to this? If you've gone from a standard diet high in carbs and processed foods to a (comparatively) low-carb Paleo diet, you will most likely find the first week or two (or three) a struggle. Most do. If you're doing manual labour and your job depends upon it, you may wish to reduce the carbs just a little more gradually. Before I discovered Paleo I went very low carb (about 20g/day) from a SAD, high-carb, low-fat diet, and I was absolutely floored for three weeks. I had no energy whatsoever, it was torture. And I sit at a desk all day! It's no wonder you caved, your body would have been wondering what the hell had hit it. :)
Once you work out the level of carb intake you need - and I'd say DON'T go super low carb if you have a physical job (going Paleo should feel GOOD, not like torturous deprivation) - don't go for the pancakes! Go for starchy carbs and/or some fruit instead, grains are just nutritionless crap. Robb Wolf and Mark Sisson have a lot of helpful info on carb intake and activity level.

I like to load up with a little bit of sweet potato or white rice the evening before strenuous activity, I find this works for me, but everyone is different. I also find that my morning grass fed butter/mct oil coffee get's me through a full day of light labor no problem- sometimes without the urge or need to eat.
on January 12, 2013
at 09:34 PM
As far as planning ahead: you've simply got to plan ahead. :)
Paleo carbs are generally going to take longer to prepare than prepackaged, processed carbs that are readily available everywhere. The exception to this is whole fruit- so you could keep some apples or bananas on hand. It's important to try to balance that need for carbs with a little protein and fat too. I like to have hard-boiled eggs in the fridge or a jar of nut butter to pair with my carb-heavy snacks.
Otherwise, you're going to have to cook your starchy vegetables ahead of time and have them ready to go. I almost always have steamed cauliflower and some cooked sweet potatoes in the fridge. I cook them in the microwave- 3 minutes for the cauli, 4-5 minutes for a whole sweet potato, not yet peeled. When I need to eat them quickly, I peel the sweet potatoes (they come right off), cut them up, and fry them up in a little oil. 5 minutes and I've got a plate of healthy carbs.
Edit: a lot of times then I'll fry up an egg or some leftover meat in that same pan to go along with the sweet potato or cauli. Balanced, filling but quick snack for when you need some food.

I have some "emergency" larabars, nuts, and coconut water in my car. Popular choices that are prepackaged and compact while providing a lot of energy for your workout or to avert an "I had no other option..." food choice.
on January 12, 2013
at 09:28 PM
I have 8 grams or so of carbs before I lift then sip a drink with 16 to 32 grams of carbs and some electrolytes as I lift. I'm still playing with the exact amounts.
To not reinvent the wheel you need paleo Gatorade.

May the good and heroic
and bountiful souls of the saints come here,
and may they go hand in hand with us,
giving the healing virtues of their blessed gifts
as widespread as the earth,
as far-flung as the rivers,
as high-reaching as the sun,
or the furtherance of better men,
for the increase of abundance and glory.
May obedience conquer disobedience within this house;
may peace triumph here over discord;
free-hearted giving over avarice;
truthful speech over deceit;
reverence over contempt.
That our minds be delighted,
and our souls uplifted,

Kenyans Make me proud and I know we can do it. Haraaaaaaambeeeee! Tusaidiane.
Here is Mr Ngugi an assistant professor of Law, in collaboration with six other scholars working in the United States doing what great people do.
Before you read Ngugi's commentary, just step into the mind of FRED MUDHAI's, " Don't kill your brothers and sisters for the sake of a political elite."
To ensure the road to peace is not full of pot holes with negative thought of what took place in Eldoret, Sammy Kitula paints a very colorful image of our ambassadors of peace. Listen to this paragraph:
"Sitting at the heart of the Great Rift Valley, just a few kilometres from Eldoret town and considered the nerve of athletics is the Kipchoge Keino High Performance Training Camp. It is located on a farm owned by the legendary Kenyan track star and is designated as an approved high altitude training facility by the International Olympic Committee (IOC)."
I read that paragraph three times and just wondered if I can re-programme my thoughts and all those who died in the church. They must have names and we cannot afford to forget them. Anyone with names of the children, mothers, fathers, grand mothers, uncles or who they were. I guess right now it is not a priority.
I am very bitter. I too feel a bit ashamed, (by any means neccesary can wait) but deep inside I recent dictatorships of whatever color or smell. Deep inside I cannot look at Kibaki and not feel ashamed. How could he.? It was like an abortion. The whole world was proud of us, the observers had already finnished their reports and their conclusion was a clear, "hey world, here is AFRICA and the Kenyans are leading." That was not meant to be.
Did you read what Moooooody Awori was saying after being fired by people from his home. He should be ashamed, and Kibaki's letter without mentioning ODM or Raila. Is he drunk or did someone else write the letter in lala land. Concerned parties are all Kenyans and are you deeply disturbed by the senseless rigging.

Options for a solution to the post-election crisis
Story by JOEL M. NGUGI
Publication Date: 1/4/2008
KENYA IS IN DEEP CRISIS. IT is sitting on the precipice of a fully-fledged ethnic-based violent rupture. As death, mayhem, and possible genocide unravel, Kenyan politicians and leaders seem dangerously unwilling or unable to show genuine and effective leadership in ending the ethnic strife.
In refusing to seek an immediate end to the ethnic strife, perhaps each side hopes to somehow gain the upper hand in the resolution of the crisis. This is both dangerous and unacceptable.
The first step must be to end the violence. Neither side should equivocate on this. Neither side should take any other steps which might escalate the mounting tension.
Even as the Government attempts to control the violence, it must be sensitive to the underlying cause, and that avoids giving credence to the notion that the Kibaki regime is merely trying to perpetuate itself in power.
The Government must understand that there is genuine anger at the real and perceived irregularities in the elections, and understand that half the country see these irregularities as Kibaki's illegitimate attempt to remain in power.
On the other hand, ODM leaders and supporters must understand that the first task is not to determine the winner of the elections.
The first task is to end the madness of violence that has engulfed us. They must desist from making any further comments which might inflame their supporters. Averting genocide is more urgent than determining the election winner.
THE SECOND STEP MUST BE TO FIND a political solution to the current impasse on the outcome of the presidential elections. There is no doubt that many Kenyans consider the outcome as announced by the ECK to be rigged.
There are many valid questions about voter turnout in some PNU and ODM strongholds as the Maragua and Rarieda cases indicate. The first step to finding a political solution must be for Kibaki and Raila to meet on mutually agreed terms. Each must desist from making unreasonable demands for such a meeting.
For such a meeting to be fruitful, the Kibaki government must soften its stance that the only solution to the crisis is a "legal" one pursued through the judicial process. The Government must immediately stop its rhetoric that no "mediation" is required to avert a crisis.
On the other hand, Raila must withdraw his demand that Kibaki steps down before he agrees to a meeting. He must understand that by meeting Kibaki, he would not be legitimising his presidency; he would be exercising responsible leadership.
A meeting between Raila and Kibaki would serve both performative symbolic and pragmatic functions. Symbolically, such a meeting sends a message to their supporters that it is time for peace, while giving hope to a mutually agreeable solution. Pragmatically, it will give a chance to both leaders and their advisers to start considering solutions to the crisis.
One such solution is to agree to a re-tallying of all the presidential votes. For this to ultimately work, both sides should agree on the rules of the game first.
FOR EXAMPLE, BOTH SIDES SHOULD agree on what to do where there is evidence of tampering with Form 16(A) or when to pursue further investigations at the constituency level before utilising the numbers provided to the ECK.
The re-tallying should be done by a credible, independent and international body. Such a body will eliminate any claims that the final outcome was determined by the respective party's self-interest.
Another possible solution, which both sides must seriously consider in light of the ethnic strife engulfing the country, is another presidential election.
If this solution is to work, both parties must agree on terms for a "transitional government." If this option is elected, for example, a transitional government does not necessarily have to be a short-term power-sharing arrangement.
Both parties could agree to legally limit the kinds of powers the Executive would exercise during the transitional period until another election is carried out.
A third political solution could be to combine a softer version of the "transitional government" solution with a legal solution. The parties could agree that Kibaki continues presiding over a transitional government until a legal solution is pursued and finalised.
However, rather than utilise the deeply flawed, highly technical election petition process, the parties could agree on a new, independent election tribunal that could consider all election complaints and determine their validity.
One could think of creative ways to make such a tribunal "legal" within our legal system — for example by asking the Chief Justice to constitute it, with input from both sides, from among mutually agreeable High Court judges so that it actually sits as an election court with an expedited schedule — and operating under new rules of procedure agreed upon by both parties, but formally promulgated by the Chief Justice.
Finally, both parties could agree on a longer-term power-sharing formula where both the ODM and PNU agree to form a government until the next presidential elections are held.
This could have the advantage of giving the country a chance to heal before the next polls. If this course of action is chosen, it might also include an agreement for legal, political, and constitutional reforms that must be undertaken before the next presidential elections, and the time-table for such reforms.
As this crisis has shown, we badly need electoral and constitutional reforms — and these reforms could be a sound basis for the healing that the country badly needs.
IF ANY OF THESE POLITICAL SOLUTIONS is chosen, the parties must agree on the effect of the solution elected on existing legal mechanisms for pursuing the rights of the parties. For example, the parties must agree if a particular solution pre-empts and precludes the legal solutions envisaged in the Constitution and statutes.
These political solutions require bold and responsible leadership by both Kibaki and Raila, and a measure of humility by their supporters.
On Kibaki's side, it will require acceptance of international mediation as the basis for establishing consensus. Since the Government prefers "dialogue", this will be a significant concession.
On Raila's side, it will require that he takes aggressive action to calm his supporters and that he seeks to legitimise his claim to the presidency through one of the measures suggested above.

- Kibaki must be held responsible for the bloodshed. ECK has no excuse, they too can be charged for complicity to commit genocide. Those who are looking at the tribal hatred and murder might be naive to try to blame Raila, but the truth is Kibaki number 2, must be stopped by any means necessary. The signs are very clear, "A Tribal Dictatorship." Kenyans had no problem in the last election when Kibaki, a Kikuyu ran against Uhuru, another Kikuyu. It is time for Kikuyus to stand up and smell the chai. Kikuyus are the poorest and the most oppressed. Shoot to Kill has always been used against Kikuyus "Del Monte." The only matatus that must go to the police station for a strip search, are the ones going to Kikuyuland. There are more Kikuyus in prison than any other group. Kikuyus just like they rejected Uhuru and what he stood for, can reject Kibaki for trying to bring back the KANU type dictatorship. Raila and Luos should also be very careful when making statements about the election. Kenyans did not vote for Raila the Luo; Kenyans voted for Raila the ODM nominee.
