Brent Prices Remain Depressed Despite Geopolitical Problems
Brent crude oil remained depressed on Monday as a stronger dollar and decreased global demand weighed on prices.
The commodity traded at $102.10 at 8:00 GMT despite ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe.
Geopolitical tension has taken a back seat in driving oil prices as investors are mostly confident that there is minimal risk of a significant supply interruption.
CNBC reported that fighting in Tripoli completely destroyed the airport over the weekend, but exports continued to ramp up as the nation's oil ports reopened. Last week, Libyan output was up to 612,000 barrels per day, still a far cry from its 1.4 million bpd capacity, but a marked improvement nonetheless.
Despite instability across the globe, Brent prices have been struggling as investors see weaker demand out of both China and Europe, and the U.S. dollar continues to rally.
At the Jackson Hole summit last week, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen struck a less dovish tone than expected, helping the dollar rise and in turn hurting commodities priced in dollars.
While Yellen didn't provide any new insight into the bank's plans to raise the interest rate, she did acknowledge worries that it could hurt the nation's recovery if an accommodative policy is used for too long.
Moving forward investors will be keeping a close eye on new developments in geopolitical problems as any major escalation could have the potential to drive prices higher.
Economic data due out this week will also be on the radar as investors look for any indication of a demand increase.

12 On-the-Clock Reasons to Use a Mobile Timesheet App
The old saying "time is money" has even more relevance with the growing shift to mobility in the enterprise. Through time-saving, and simplifying apps, mobility is helping service businesses to achieve maximum productivity while on-the-clock. But in order for these benefits to be fully realized, organizations need to ensure that operational systems are connected to mobile features, and that employees are taking advantage of all the benefits.
With field workers rarely coming to the office anymore, the importance of bolstering a time –sensitive workforce from all corners has increased. Organizations can increase the value their time by taking advantage of predictive mobile apps, such as automatic timesheets, which can seamlessly track and report activities and manage status updates on important tasks. Meaning employees in the field not need to manually fill in every minute of their time because their mobile device will take on the admin work.
How can you use mobile timesheets to benefit your business? Our experts outline 12 reasons why advanced timesheets will help employees tackle too many admin duties, and keep managers happy due to increased accuracy and reporting.
The Mobile timesheet app enables users to:
- Clock in and out, enabling the correct duration of work, and guarantees an automatic submittal of the timesheet at the end of the work day
- Update the status of their assignment
- Manage entire crews while viewing counters and statistics
- Send reminders to employees regarding overtime hours, breaks and clocking in
- Ensure more accurate billing and payroll
With mobility so commonplace in the enterprise, it is no surprise that the switch to real-time technologies has made its way into managing timesheet activity.

CT Cumberland Mtn Segment is a 10.6 mile point-to-point trail located near La Follette, Tennessee and is only recommended for very experienced adventurers. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
Challenging hike provides crest trails, valley views, waterfall and a GeoCache This is a year round hike but best enjoyed in the fall and early spring. There are many wild flowers and plants to be discovered but unfortunately " poison ivy" in warm weather months.The trail is well blazed and double blazed at turns.Follow CT signs to begin hike at .50 mi go left under the RR bridge and start your ascend to the top of Cumberland Mtn. Once you reach the crest you will literally walk along on top of the mountain range for about 60% of the trail. GPS users be sure to get the waypoints for the cache hidden at a very unique rock formation.There are many rock walls and at 3 mi there is a natural opening called Window Rock with a great view.At the halfway point at 6.2 mi the Eagle Rock lookout is a great place for lunch with a view.At the 8.7 mi the trail will descend down but continue straight for Devils Racetrack that provides more valley views.Backtrack to descend to Bruce's Creek triple falls.Follow trail to Bruce Creek Road parking lot.
Excellent trail!! Lots of climbing and huge rock formations the entire way. Almost 1.5 moles towards the end the up hill battle ends. Great workout for the legs. If you are into rappelling, be sure to bring your gear. Lots of great places for it.
was a hard trail but a lot of fun and full of great views.
Great for getting out and experiencing nature.
Went out this morning for a little while. it was raining and I wanted to test out a survival shelter I bought from REI.
At the lookout point about 3 miles out from the east trailhead, the trail goes over a 15 feet ladder. No big deal, but with a golden retriver kinda interesting. You need to carry dogs down/up there
I'm rating from the Tank Springs trailhead to Eagle Bluff...
Very good and fun trail. The steepest ascent I've ever done up from Tank Springs, but there's so much fun rock scrambling after too. Meandering along the top is very nice, but (at least for me) the constant views of La Follette detract from the outdoors experience. If that valley was empty, then this trail would be quite fantastic... But I think I'm asking too much with that :-)
A great hike that provides as much adventure and contrast as a person would ever want. For me it was an extremely difficult hike with all of the ups and downs on the trail but well worth the effort for a day hike and two cars.
Best hiking experience ever. There were so many things to see... Waterfalls, views, forest, fields, train tracks, berries, flowers, rock formations, and more. This is definitely the most diverse trail I've ever hiked! The reward at the end of Devil's Racetracks is easily as good as the views in the Smoky Mountains! I highly recommend this trail!

Side-by-side trials conducted nationwide during the 2013 growing season showed that soybean farmers can have clean fields and higher yield potential when they plant Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybeans.
Participating farmers who planted Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybeans — and utilized Roundup Ready PLUS® Crop Management Solutions — achieved an average yield advantage of 5.5 Bu/A* compared to the LibertyLink® soybean system.
The 2013 side-by-side trials were conducted by Monsanto at 31 locations in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio and Wisconsin. The purpose was to demonstrate that farmers don't have to sacrifice yield by switching to the LibertyLink® system to control resistant weeds.
By harvest, farmers found that their Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® soybeans out-yielded LibertyLink® by an average of 5.5 Bu/A. With full implementation of Asgrow's recommended management practices, farmers could increase this yield advantage. These trials have proven that Asgrow® soybean farmers can have clean fields without sacrificing higher yield.
Talk to your Asgrow® sales representative to learn more about how Asgrow® products can help push your farm's performance.
*Data represents Monsanto Weed Management Systems Comparisons as of November 20, 2013. Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® seed products and Roundup Ready PLUS® Weed Management Solutions were evaluated against LibertyLink® seed products and Liberty® herbicide program using independent weed control systems. Both systems included the use of residual herbicides. Average weed control for both systems was equal.

Kevin Spacey Gave Woody Allen a Netflix Subscription
"I want him to watch my work."
Kevin Spacey wants to be in a Woody Allen movie. And he's a guy with a can-do spirit, he tells GQ. "I believe this: If an actor wants a role or wants to work with somebody, then you do everything within reason to try to get that role. If they want you to audition, you audition. If they want you to screen-test, you screen-test. If they want you to come and tap-dance in their hallway, you tap-dance in their hallway," he says. (Recall that Spacey is actually a pretty good tap-dancer.) So he decided to write Woody Allen a letter and introduce himself. "And I sent him a Netflix subscription, because I want him to watch my work," Spacey says. Allen wrote back, saying he'd consider Spacey for roles down the road, and oh yeah, thanks for the Netflix. Allen said last year that he doesn't have a computer, but maybe he has a Roku? Apple TV? How is Woody Allen watching streaming Netflix? He doesn't really seem like an Xbox guy, but perhaps?

My favourite
Reviewed: 27 March 2017 by blondegirl89, a Bisexual Married Female
My husband is very into schoolgirl outfits.
I already own two of that range, but this one is without a doubt my favourite! It fits perfectly.
I'm very petite and wear clothes size 4/6. I ordered size small S/M and was bit worried if it would fit me properly. Most of the time everything is slightly too big, especially with one size outfits.
And because I have quite big breasts, 32DD, everything, it's way too small to cover them.
Well, I was positively surprised as this outfit fit me perfectly! I love the quality. Skirt it's not too short as with most school girl outfits, which I take as big plus. Top is very elastic and it can fit and look nice on all breasts sizes.
My husband was wowed and prefer this outfit over two other I got. :)
I highly recommend it! Well worth the price.

- Everything! It's just perfect. :)

- It don't have any flaws.

Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik beats out 10 counterparts in a "sexiest GM ranking" on the Yahoo! website. Photo Credit: AP Well, the Mariners might not have gotten the better of the Angels when it came to the Josh Hamilton bidding. And we won't know for a while how this whole Kendrys Morales-Jason Vargas trade will work out. We'll know more once we figure out whether the Mariners are going to ink Morales long term, flip him for a piece at the trade deadline, or make him a qualifying offer for 2014 and secure a compensatory draft pick at a minimum. But we do know that Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik just got one over on Angels counterpart Jerry DiPoto in a Big League Stew ranking of "the sexiest GMs in baseball". Zduriencik came in at No. 20, based largely on his likeness to former Chicago mayor Richard Daley (the father, not the son). DiPoto, who came in at No. 24, is a former pro ballplayer, so Zduriencik beating him out kind of says something, I guess. I'll have to admit, the word "sexy" never crossed my mind when conversing with Zduriencik face-to-face. Then again, it didn't cross my mind for Billy Beane either, though I'm sure a whole bunch of women might disagree with me. Hey, they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if somebody thinks Zduriencik is sexier than a third of the MLB GMs out there, who am I to argue? Besides, any of you gotten a look at Ned Colletti (No. 30 on list) lately? Comments | More in jack zduriencik | Topics: big league stew, Jack Zduriencik, jerry dipoto

L-6 SPECTROMETERInstructor's Notes
This experiment can be performed in one three hour lab period if part (1) of Experiment A is done by the instructor before class, and the students are instructed (by a demonstration) how to perform the prism table leveling.
1. See that the Gauss eyepiece illuminator is well lined-up with the hole in the eyepiece wall, for brightest crosshair image. Do this by removing the eyelens assembly (with illuminator attached) from the telescope tube. Then look into it backwards (at the light emerging, which would normally go toward the telescope objective). Look at an angle slightly downward, to see if the round hole seems uniformly illuminated with a brighter spot at its center. If the bright spot is not centered, loosen the two screws and carefully rotate the eyelens with respect to the illuminator until the brightest spot is centered in the hole. Sometimes it may help to rotate the bulb socket at the bottom of the illuminator, if the bulb is skewed, as so many cheaply-produced bulbs are these days.
2. Clean the prisms with lens tissue moistened with alcohol, to remove fingerprints.
3. Check for free and smooth motion of the prism table. If the instrument has not been used for a while the lubricant on the shaft has "set." Wipe off the old lubricant with an oil-soaked cloth, then re-apply lubricant with a clean oil-dampened cloth. [An oily finger works, also.] In extreme cases a solvent-lubricant may be necessary to remove the old, hardened, lubricant. WD-40 is good for this. But it is not the best lubricant, so wipe it off after cleaning and apply a good quality camera oil, or silicon oil.
4. Clean dust from the entire instrument. Clean dust and grit from the surface of the main scale.
5. Check the collimation of the telescope, using the Gauss eyepiece and illuminator. Adjust if necessary.
6. Parallax between slit and cross hairs must be eliminated to ensure that light from any point of the slit emerges from the collimator as a parallel beam. The slit drawtube has a clamp, which may be loosened with a small screwdriver. In handling the tube, be careful not to damage the slit jaws. They are sharp and accurately machined. Never attempt to clean them yourself, consult the instructor if cleaning seems necessary. The slit width is adjusted by rotating the knurled screw. In this instrument the slit is spring loaded so that the jaws cannot be forcibly closed, but on some other instruments one must be very careful when closing the jaws.
7. Leave the telescope arm's clamping screw loosened.
1. Point out that the spectrometer is a precision instrument, capable of 1% accuracy in measurement of angles, and better than that in measuring the angles required in this experiment.
2. Show the students how to lift or carry the spectrometer. First tighten the telescope screw finger-tight, then lift the spectrometer by its base only, NEVER by the telescope or collimator arms.
3. Remind students that precision instruments should never be forced in any way. Clamping screws should be turned finger-tight only, never forcibly. Clamping screws facilitate use of the fine adjustment screws. The clamping screw associated with a particular adjustment should always be loosened before making that adjustment, for the screw can score (scratch or gouge) the precisely machined bearing surfaces, making future adjustments difficult.
4. Point out where the cross hairs are located. Warn against pushing anything down the tube that would break them.
5. Explain and demonstrate the auto-collimation procedure. Emphasize that once the cross hairs are in the correct position, the eyelens may be adjusted to any position that the user finds comfortable, and may be readjusted at any time without affecting the precision of measurements.
6. Demonstrate the prism table leveling procedure. The reason this is tricky is because the prism has several degrees of freedom, and these interact. If you attempt this by trial and error, you soon become frustrated, for one adjustment can disrupt a previous one. The philosophy behind a good procedure is to place the prism on the table in such a way that adjustments can't interact with previous adjustments. This is a nice example of engineering "constraint" problems, which one encounters frequently in science.
7. Warn the students against touching the 5000 volt terminals of the spectrum tube power supply. The current is quite low and unlikely to kill anyone, but the experience is sufficiently unpleasant that I have never seen a student deliberately repeat it.
8. Explain how the control rheostat is connected. The spectrum tubes should be operated only brightly enough to see and measure the desired lines. Operating them at high intensity shortens their life.
9. It is helpful to manually demonstrate the process of finding minimum deviation. Ask students to watch the prism as you rotate it in one direction while you verbally describe what you see: "The spectrum is moving to the right; it's slowing down; now turning around; now moving to the left." This simple demonstration is actually quite effective in getting the idea across. This can be set up with a prism and a beam of light projected through the prism and onto a wall.
10. Set up a spectrometer to show the mercury spectrum. Let each student look at it. Emphasize that if the two yellow lines can't be resolved, then either the slit is too wide, or the instrument is out of focus.
Since minimum deviation is so easy to obtain (after it is done once) I now ask students to measure each spectral line at its minimum deviation. Then one can plot a dispersion curve of n vs. λ, rather than merely a deviation curve of δ vs. λ. One has the ability to get minimum deviation for each line in naked-eye spectroscopy. In spectrography, where the spectrum is photographed, you can only set the prism for minimum deviation for one particular line, usually a bright line near the middle of the spectrum.
Many laboratory manuals suggest that students measure the telescope angle when looking straight through at the slit, implying that this reading is to be used as a reference "zero." This is, in fact what students usually will do if not better instructed. Most laboratory manuals do not point out that it's much better to measure each line's deviation both left and right, then take the difference of these and divide by two to obtain the deviation. This procedure immediately doubles the precision of the determination of the minimum deviation. If students have gotten into the habit of looking for ways to improve precision, they will do this without being asked. I never suggest it to students, being interested to see how many care enough about the quality of their results to discover it for themselves. None have, in over 25 years I've observed freshman laboratories. None of the students in advanced optics discover it either! The fault seems to be that students are not concerned with improving the results, are not critically examining experimental and mathematical procedures and are not looking for better procedures. They fall into the habit of being mere "instruction followers." They are simply not "involved" in the experimental process beyond what they feel are the minimum requirements to "get by." The fault, of course, is ours, if we let them get by with this behavior.
In fact, there's no place in this experiment where one would ever have to, or want to, use the "zero" angle position. We have occasionally used lab manuals that explicitly suggest measuring each spectral line's deviation both left and right. What do the students do? They subtract the zero reading from each deviation position, then average the two deviation angles! Apparently our discussion of the data-cancelation in the "method of differences" when we did the free-fall experiment had absolutely no transference!
In the same spirit, I do recommend that the prism angle be measured by recording the angle of beams from both sides, taking the difference, and dividing by two. Some references (Valasek) recommend using the Gauss eyepiece to measure the normal to the two faces, then taking the difference. This difference is about 60° for an "equilateral" prism. The method I suggest gives a measured angle of 120°, which is more precise if a sufficiently narrow slit is used. My method could have a determinate error if the collimator's exit rays are not exactly parallel, that isif the collimator isn't perfectly collimated.
NOTES ON THE ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE, added April 21, 1991.
Over the years we have recommended various methods of spectrometer alignment, and have used manuals that sometimes recommend particular methods. Some manuals are silent on this matter!
* The Gaertner-Peck Spectrometer Manual, supplied with our model of spectrometer, recommends the use of an accessory optical glass adjusting plate, with nearly parallel faces. Using the Gauss eyepiece one looks at the reflection from one face, then rotates the plate 180°. The plate faces are parallel to the spectrometer axis when the return image of the cross hair keeps its same height after a 180° rotation of the plate. A two step process is used. The reflected image from one face is made to coincide with the cross hairs. The glass plate is rotated 180°. The images are brought half way into alignment with the telescope tilt adjustment and the rest of the way with the prism table tilt adjustment. The process is repeated if necessary until rotation of the plate makes no difference. When this is achieved, the telescope tilt is correct with respect to the spectrometer axis. The plate surfaces are parallel to the spectrometer axis also, but this does not ensure that the prism faces will be when placed on the prism table.
* Valasek's book recommends the same method, but with a two-sided mirror, both sides being silvered!
* Wall and Levine's manual (Appendix J) describe an initial approximate alignment using a spirit level! The level is placed successively on the main scale plate, the prism table, and finally the telescope and collimator. They remark that "complete adjustment of the spectrometer is a long and arduous task for the novice." They then describe a "better" procedure, which, as presented, is a long and arduous one. It is deficient in that it does not recommend a position of the prism on the table which will avoid interaction of adjustments. The procedure does not make use of a Gauss eyepiece.
* Skolil and Smith give quite complete alignment instructions (Appendix I-K, p. 173). Their method is based on sound principles, but suffers from having a step in which the student must turn two screws equal and opposite amounts! This is mathematically correct, but not an easy task, for there are no visual clues to guide the experimenter to do this precisely. Their procedure also requires the student to rotate the prism on the table 180° in one of the steps.
* Wagner's book Experimental Optics is one of the few books that clearly sets down the conditions required for precision measurements with the spectrometer:
Can one use the best ideas from these sources to devise an optimally short and efficient method? At least there are certain things we'd like to avoid:
The latest (April 21, 1991) version I've come up with requires no removal of the prism, or rotation of the prism table during the entire alignment procedure. It places the prism with the unused face (frosted) near the edge of the prism table and leaves it there.
There's a small price to pay. The telescope axis alignment is carried out with light reflected from the prism faces at an incident angle of about 60°. Palmer recommends 45°, which is better, though one wonders why he didn't suggest a smaller value, consistent with the constraints of the instrument. The best choice of all is 0°, obtainable with the accessory plate.
Is a 60° incident angle good enough for the purpose? At 0° a tilt error of θ in the prism face causes the reflected beam to be high or low by 2θ. At 45° it is off by θ. At 60° it is off by 2θ/3. My experience in making this adjustment is that this is indeed good enough, compared with other error sources. I find the error no larger than the error due to "play" or "wobble" in the spectrometer itself. The real virtue of my method is that it doesn't require resetting the prism table during the adjustments. Play in the prism table can cause enough uncertainty to confuse the adjustment process and waste the experimenter's time trying to make adjustments finer than necessary.
If one wants better, one can swing the telescope all the way, as close as it will go to the collimator, then rotate the prism table to view the reflected slit image from one face. Then do the same on the other side. This adds two rotations of the prism table, then a third one to relocate the prism for measurement of the prism apex angle. That's not really much extra complication.
To summarize: The best strategy for a given instrument depends on whether that instrument has a Gauss eyepiece. If it does not, the collimation must be done by focusing the telescope on a distant object, or looking into an already collimated beam from an auxiliary collimator.

The (American Optical) prisms we use are flint glass. Minimum deviation for the mercury green line is 51.5°. The prism angle is 60°. The index of refraction of the prism is 1.653.
[The deviation is 57°, giving n = 1.67 for the newer prisms.]
A 1° error in the prism angle and in the deviation angle causes an error of 0.045 in the index of refraction. The student may be tempted to express this as a percent (3%) but this is inappropriate for a measure which arbitrarily references to a non-zero value (n of vacuum is 1).
If the student doesn't appreciate this point, suggest another example that is more familiar: temperature. Does it really make sense to express error in Celsius temperature as a percent? A one degree error would then be 1% of a 100° temperature, and 100% of a 1° temperature! What if the temperatures were converted to Fahrenheit? In some cases a percent error is meaningful for temperatures measured on the Kelvin scale, but even in that case one must consider the matter very carefully.
It is not practical to derive a standard form error equation for this experiment without calculus. Non-calculus students would be better advised to insert the errors into the equation for index of refraction and recalculate the whole equation.
A common mistake in the calculus method of calculating the error is to forget that the deviation angle, d, is in radians.
(2*) The determinate error equation for Eq. 1 is:
Δn = ΔD {cos[(A+D)/2]/(2sin[A/2}} + ΔA (n/2){cot[(A+D)/2] - cot[A/2]}
Derive this result. See next page.
(3) What absolute error in the index of refraction results from an error of one minute of arc in the deviation angle? Assume glass of index 1.7 and a wavelength of 5461 Ångstroms.
(4) Under the same assumptions as question (2), what absolute error results from a one minute of arc error in the prism angle?
[The error analysis to justify these results will be found below.]
(5) What are the special advantages of using minimum deviation, rather than using a larger deviation where the spectral lines are spread apart more?
Some consequences of the minimum deviation situation are interesting, but not particularly noteworthy as useful advantages:
First, consider the case where the error is predominantly in the deviation angle D, the error in the prism angle A being negligible.
n + Δn = sin [(A+D+ΔD)/2]/[sin [A/2] .
where ΔD is a determinate error in D. Separate the (A+D)/2 from the ΔD/2 and then use the well known trig identity on the numerator.
sin[(A+D+ΔD)/2] = sin[(A+D)/2] cos [D/2] + cos[(A+D)/2]sin[ΔD/2]
n + Δn = {sin[(A+D)/2] + (ΔD/2)cos[(A+D)/2]}/sin[A/2]
n + Δn = sin[(A+D)/2]/sin[A/2] + [ΔD/2]{cos[(A+D)/2]/sin[A/2]}
so therefore:
Δn = [ΔD/2]{cos[A+D]/2}/[sin[(A+D)/2]
A = 60° and D = 57° for n = 1.65 flint glass. For these values, this would be (ΔD/2)(0.5225/0.5) = 0.522 (ΔD). If the error in D is about 0.1° = 0.02 radian, then the error in n is 0.01.
Now consider the case of an error in the prism angle, A.
sin[(A+D+ΔA)/2] = sin[(A+D)/2] cos [ΔA/2] + cos[(A+D)/2] sin[ΔA/2]
n+Δn = {sin[(A+D)/2] + (ΔA/2)cos[(A+D)/2]}/{sin[A/2] + ΔA/{2cos[A/2]}
This looks like a mess at first, but notice that it is in the form where the "error in the numerator" and the "error in the denominator" explicitly show, so since the fractional error in the quotient is the fractional error in the numerator minus the fractional error in the denominator
Δn/n = [ΔA/2]{cos[(A+D)/2]/sin[(A+D)/2] - [ΔA/2][cos[A/2]/sin[A/2]
However, the fractional error in n is not a meaningful way to express the error in n so this should be converted to the absolute error in n:
Δn = n(ΔA/2){cot[(A+D)/2] - cot[A/2]}
This goes a lot easier with calculus!
Since both A and D are about 60°, this can be done in one's head:
Δn = (ΔA/2) 1.65 (89.02 - 88.09) = (ΔA/2) 1.65 (0.93) = 0.767 ΔA.
Now if ΔA is, say 0.1, that's about 0.02 radian, for an error of 0.015 in n. [Actually, the error in A will be less than this.]
One could now put the two error equations together into one grand-slam complete error equation!
Δn = ΔD [cos[(A+D)/2]/[2(sin[A/2]} + ΔA (n/2)[{cot[(A+D)/2] - cot[A/2]}
If the student consistently measured angles both left and right, taking their difference and dividing by two, the error in n should be about half of the estimates above, because the error in A and D would be half as much as if they were obtained from measurements on only one side of "zero."
L-4 SPECTROMETER, Grading checklist, when the grating experiment was combined with the prism experiment:
Question 1: Why are the spectral lines curved?
Question 2: Error due to 1 error in deviation angle?
Question 3: Error due to 1° error in prism angle?
4 and 5. Values for D and n.
6. The uncertainty in n is � 0.02 if scale reading errors are assumed to be 0.5°. [A very conservative estimate.] If errors are smaller, one can assume linearity of the error propagation.
7. Derivation of formula for part (4). [A = a/2.]
8. Graph of deviation angle vs. wavelength.
9. Did the student measure the refracting angle A, rather than just assuming it?
10. Did the student measure lines from a second spectral source? Is there a clear statement of how well the experimental values agree with handbook values?
11. Grating data compared with the prism data.
12. Value of grating constant. 2.54 x 10-4 cm.

Comments on spectrometer experiment reports.
Results should appear in the results section. Don't make the reader look elsewhere.
You need to indicate how you obtained your error estimates in data, and what contributing factors caused them. Some said the error in angles was 1° arc. That's about the error in reading the scale. But did you also consider the larger error in locating the cross hairs on the spectral line? If so, no one said so! The spectral lines have width, and may show parallax with respect to the cross hairs if the telescope collimation wasn't perfect. This is the dominant error source, not the scale reading error.
Hardly anyone indicated how they got from the data error to the error in the result. If you plugged in � values of angle and calculated the result (n) three times, say so.
In many cases, where results were shown for several spectral lines, the errors were obviously larger than your stated error, which should make you suspicious.
Many people didn't say whether they measured the prism angle, or just assumed it was 60°, nor did they say how they measured it, and whether they measured it by more than one independent method.
Some students showed a graph of index of refraction vs. wavelength. That's good. But is not supposed to be a straight line. These graphs clearly showed that your experimental errors were larger than you claimed, for the curve should be gently curved and very smooth.
A common blunder was to use telescope position readings in place of deviation values. This suggests that some students didn't understand the equation, or how the spectrometer worked.
Some people gave a `refractive index for the prism' but didn't indicate what color light it was for. The prisms you used this year were flint glass, with refractive index of about 1.65 for the 5461Å green line of the Mercury spectrum.
The deviation angles aren't worthy of listing as results. But they should be somewhere in the report, at least in the original data sheets. We want to see index of refraction results. In some cases the indices were too high or too low, yet I found no original data sheets, or values of deviation to allow me to check where the blunder occurred.
Reread the chapter 9 on lab report writing in the red book. Personal comments about how much you learned or how much you liked the experiment are not appropriate in a report. See also the document on technical report writing from Rensalaer University linked on my home page. I also have similar documents from Penn State, if you'd like to consult them.
The prism equation for minimum deviation is not called Snell's Law. It is derived from Snell's Law.
Willebrord van Roijen Snell (1591-1656) was a Dutch mathematician. Though Ptolemy knew about refraction, his law of refraction was only valid for small angles to the normal. Snell's discovery of the correct refraction law did not become well known, and when Descartes published it later he didn't credit the source. Johannes Kepler seems to have independently discovered it as well.
Several people had identical or nearly identical reports. Since I cannot determine which of these was the author, or whether it was a group effort, I divided the score by 2. Partners work together in lab and will therefore have identical data. Partners may study together, but when it comes to writing the report, do it alone, in your own style and your own words. You should do your own calculations, and draw your own conclusions as well, not influenced by anyone else.
February 28, 1996
1. Spectral lines formed by a diffraction grating are curved when seen in the grating spectrometer, but a lot less than in the prism spectrometer. This is due to refraction through the thickness of the protective glass plates the replica grating is mounted between, but not caused by the grating itself.

Don't know if you can do that, but yes, it's possible to do such a thing with Phonegap.
Or in general: if something can be built for a regular website, it can also be done for a Phonegap-built app (the reverse is not always true).

"Can PhoneGap do xyz" questions can largely be answered with "Yes." Usually where this falls down is when qualifications and constraints are added. For example, can you build a Minecraft-like game in PhoneGap? Yes. Can you do it such that it has the same performance as the equivalent written in C? Almost certainly not.
With regard to your question, PhoneGap is only going to be part of the equation, since you'd need to have/interface with a backend to track task completion, funds in escrow, and initiate transfers. So can PhoneGap do /part/ of this? Yes. Can it do all of it? No.
Of course, this answer would be the same even if you were asking about a native app. An app running client-side can only do so much -- an app of this type would require some sort of backend for tracking everything.

Hi Kerri, thank you for the explanation. If you had to guess, how long would it take a seasoned person to build it? Also, could an unseasoned person build it? I am fairly proficient with PS and IL, but don't know if this Adobe PhoneGap system is somewhat similar user interface? Lastly, if I chose to hire someone to build it, how much would it cost me (approximate)?

As to cost and time estimates, there is insufficient information in this thread to provide even a guesstimate. I can say that a person with little to no experience would probably be unable to build such a project in a reasonable timeframe. That isn't to say that they couldn't get there eventually, but they would need to build their experience with smaller and less complicated apps first.

Cabrera, Ordonez homer in Tigers' win
Rick Porcello fought off three line drives right back at him to get his first road victory of the season, and the Detroit Tigers got home runs from Miguel Cabrera and Magglio Ordonez in a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. The Tigers avoided a three-game sweep in the first interleague series for both teams. Porcello (4-4) allowed two runs and nine hits over six innings in his Dodger Stadium debut, striking out two and walking two. The 6-foot-5 right-hander is 4-0 with a 2.12 ERA in five interleague starts. His biggest out came in the sixth, when Manny Ramirez pinch-hit for Hiroki Kuroda with the bases loaded and grounded out to third on the first pitch to end the inning. Kuroda (5-2) gave up three runs and six hits in six innings, striking out five and walking one. Ronald Belisario gave up a solo homer to Ordonez in the eighth.

Top management teams of international joint ventures in Thailand: the effects of Heterogeneity on group processes and goal attainment
Document Type
Publication details
Julian, CC, Mueller, CB, Wachter, RB & Van Deusen, C 2004, 'Top management teams of international joint ventures in Thailand: the effects of Heterogeneity on group processes and goal attainment', Journal of International Business and Entrepreneurship Development, vol. 2, no. 1, pp. 1-12.
Published version available from:
Peer Reviewed
The relationship between top management team composition, group processes, and the effects of those processes on goal attainment were examined for International Joint Venture (IJV) teams in Thailand. For these culturally diverse teams, heterogeneity was defined by demographic (member age, length of team tenure, education level, functional expertise) and cultural characteristics (country of education, nationality, affiliation with a parent organisation, and primary language spoken.) Overall, demographic heterogeneity most heavily influenced levels of trust, decision quality and decision implementation among team members. Cultural heterogeneity influenced the frequency of communication.

Steve Santini: Prospect Profile for New Jersey Devils' 2nd-Round PickJune 30, 2013
Player: Steve Santini
Drafted By: New Jersey Devils (42nd overall)
Position: Defense
Final Central Scouting Ranking: No. 47 North American skater
Height/Weight: 6'2'', 205 lbs
DOB: March 7, 1995 (18 years old)
Most Recent Affiliation: U.S. National Development Team
Steve Santini has spent the past two seasons with the U.S. National Development Team based in Ann Arbor, Mich. He is primarily a defensive specialist. In his first campaign with the development squad, Santini scored one goal and five points in 36 games.
Last season, Santini played in 25 games and added five assists. His plus/minus improved from a minus-28 in his first season to a plus-six in 2012-13.
Full Scouting Report
Santini's lack of offensive production has hurt his grade with some teams, but the Mahopac, N.Y. native is one of the smartest and most effective defensive defensemen in this draft. Santini has good size at 6'2", 205 pounds. He plays a physical game and functions as a shutdown defenseman coaches could confidently put on the ice against opposing clubs' top scorers.
How good is Santini defensively? He was voted the best defenseman at the 2013 IIHF Under-18 World Championship this past year despite the fact that he didn't register a single point in the tournament. Santini was a plus-eight, however, and did a great job of keeping opposing forwards off the scoreboard.
Henry Lazar, the general manager of the New York Apple Core hockey club, raved about his former player. "Steven is a dedicated, hard-working defenseman who can play the game any way he has to. He is mobile, a big hitter and extremely smart with the puck."
Kris Baker of SabresProspects.com is impressed with Santini's abilities. "He gives little room to forwards on the rush, intimidates with his hitting game and quickly moves the puck out of trouble," the scouting report said.
Some scouts see some offensive potential in Santini because of his hockey sense and vision, while others point to his low offensive production thus far and think he will continue to produce little offensively.
NHL Player Comparison
Brooks Orpik of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Like Orpik, Santini is smart in his own zone but not flashy offensively. They also have similar size and a lot of hockey sense.
NHL Timetable
Santini has committed to Boston College this season. While he may have the physical size and hockey sense to play in the NHL this season, he will probably spend a year or two at BC before turning pro. The most likely timetable for Santini is that he reaches the NHL full-time by the 2015-16 season. Once he gets there, expect him to be very mature and ready to perform.
Top-End Potential
Santini is physical and smart, and that's a great combination for a defenseman. His top-end potential would be a top-pairing defenseman opposite an offensive defenseman like a Brian Leetch or a Kris Letang. Look for Santini to log major minutes and be a shutdown defenseman who is put on the ice to slow down the top scoring threats his club faces every night and to kill penalties. Even if he fails to develop at all offensively, he is at worst a reliable, second-pairing defenseman.

Benjamin discusses the future of public junior mining companies. Opining that this has been an awful summer for juniors (the third summer in a row that has been horrible), he poses the question of whether there is a rational risk/reward for juniors. While Benjamin may seem optimistic, investors are still weary. Benjamin thinks that, despite the pessimism, public juniors are here to stay though they may change to survive. Companies dying off and a different type of relationship existing between majors and juniors are examples of changes he can see happening. Even with these, however, Benjamin sees it as a more toned-down industry in place of the flamboyant highs of the market of the late aughts.

The TARDIS arrives in London at the close of the 19th century, and the Doctor and Leela quickly become embroiled in sinister goings on. They are attacked by members of a Chinese tong, while innocent women are disappearing form the fog-shrouded streets.
The mystery seems to centre on the Palace Theatre, where impresario Henry Gordon Jago has employed Chinese stage magician Li H'Sen Chang for a long run. But Chang is much more than he appears. He is behind the disappearances, using his immensely effective powers of hypnosis to control the women. And his ventriloquist's dummy, Mr. Sin, appears to be both alive and assisting him.
The Doctor's investigations, meanwhile, involve seeking the aid of Professor Litefoot, the pathologist investigating a dead body found in the Thames. The corpse appears to have be mauled by a large unknown creature and the Doctor deduces that the creature is some kind of giant rat. He and Leela eventually encounter just such an impossible animal in the sewers beneath London, it having been created by someone unknown advanced science capable of enlarging creatures.
Eventually, the Doctor uncovers the role of Li H'Sen Chang, and discovers that Chang is in service to what he believes is the embodiment of an ancient Chinese god Weng-Chiang. But Wneg-Chiang is in fact Magnus Greel, a despotic war criminal from the war-torn 51st Century. Using a dangerous form of time travel he has invented, Greel has journeyed back to the 19th Century, whereupon he lost the Time Cabinet that brought him here. The journey also severely damaged Greel's body, forcing him to absorb the life essence of others to survive. Greel's twisted nature means he prefers young girls to provide him with the essence he needs, and it's his experiments responsible for the giant rat in the sewers. His acolyte Mr. Sin is not a dummy, but is in fact a cybernetic homunculus with the brain of a pig.
Greel discovers that the Time Cabinet is in the possession of Litefoot, and he sends his men and Mr. Sin to retrieve it. The Doctor and Leela, along with Litefoot and Jago, arrive at Greel's lair to stop the criminal. During the battle, the Doctor manages to force Greel into his life force extraction chamber where the Butcher of Brisbane is finally destroyed. The threat from Greel may be ended, but the Doctor must still deactivate the berserk Mr. Sin, which he manages to do by ripping out his control circuitry.
Bidding farewell to Jago and Litefoot, the Doctor and Leela head on their travels through time and space...

A stunning wet look on long locks.
A wet look on long locks can be stunning with virtually no prep. It makes a fun and confident statement, perfect for a busy woman on-the-go.
Get the Look
Like most things in life, this look is all about attitude. Owning it as you walk down the street is all it takes to pull it off. That said, our stylists tell us that this style works best on straight hair (or at least hair that's not coarse or curly) and that it frames oval face shapes extra nicely.
Dive in
Start underneath at the nape of the neck with a small section of your hair and comb through it with a wet-look gel . "Keep moving up in layers so every piece of hair gets saturated," says L'Oréal Professionnel celebrity stylist Jennifer MacDougall. Then, with a wide-tooth comb, slick your hair back on both the top and the sides to achieve that fresh-out-of-the-shower look. When slicking back your hair, remember that this look works best when created without a part. As well, the length of the hair should be pushed back off the shoulders, allowing it to cascade down the back.
Stylists say...
Try out this style while on vacation or in a hot climate. "Who wants to blow out their hair when they've been at beach all day?" asks MacDougall. "In a hot place it's a quick way to transform your hair while keeping it modern."

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
Over time, I've noticed that We the Blacks, collectively, have an annoying habit of criticizing so many things to death. We — some, not all — can look at something that is widely perceived as fair and decent (or at least way better than he standard reality TV fare we're mostly offered) and then stare it down, scour, and overanalyze it until we can't see any good in it, only the problems galore. It's not constructive criticism; it's just complaining.
Last night, I checked into The Root for my digest of what's new in politico world and found more complaining. This time is was from Tom Burrell, a 45-year vet of the advertising industry, moaning about — out of all the things actually worthy of complaint on TV — Scandal. Burrell told The Root:
I've got major problems with Scandal. It comes dressed up and masqueraded as something new, but Scandal is basically a continuing perpetuation of the stereotype of a black woman whose libido and sexual urges are so pronounced that even with an education and a great job, and all these other things, she can't control herself.
He adds:
But the message that is really being delivered is that no matter how much education you get and how much power you get, you've still got that "around the way girl" in you. It's basically saying that black women are innately, inherently, hot to trot. He doesn't seduce her. She seduces him.
Are we watching the same show?
I watch Scandal — over and over and over — because I see a positive image of a professional Black woman. Pope is a smart, respected, relied upon, fully (and wonderfully)–clad, quick-witted, shrewd, compassionate, well-connected businesswoman … who is also flawed. That makes for good TV. She's got mystery, back story — though I can't find any evidence of "around the way girl" so far — and in some instances, has questionable ethics. She's multi-layered, multi-dimensional and yes, she's even an adult woman who has a sex drive, God help her, and she's not afraid to indulge it (even if admittedly, it wasn't the best choice of man).
I've heard the complaints from Black women about their representations in media, and I've penned my fair share of stories on this topic to add to the heap. I recognize the importance of positive images and the destructive nature of negative ones, but it's unnecessary and just not so entertaining to trade in one caricature of what Black women are — always loud, aggressive, sex-obsessed — for another equally unrealistic one — always demure, passive, virginal.
It's a little weird to me that Burrell picked up Pope's sexcapades when it's not even a present part of the life of her character, who is trying to do better. That steamy affair is backstory (notably with current repercussions in the series). Pope quit her job and started a new hustle, her own crisis management firm, to move on out of that trap. And despite several advances by he ex-lover, she has so far steered clear of following her heart back into tumultuous trenches, even if it's very apparent that's where she wants to be, just like that Donell Jones song. She's had past indiscretions, but clearly a whole lot of present control.
Scandal isn't a perfectly pious show, which the series title should give away. And it's not perfect either (but close). But for those of us who are prone to complain about everything, it's important to gain some perspective. Scandal is the first network TV drama with a black female lead character in most of our lifetimes. (The last of this kind was "Get Christie Love!" in 1974, which ran for one season.) This show and its feat were a long time coming, and while it's always cool to have an opinion, understand that harping on the little things doesn't open the door any wider for other shows featuring black woman as leading talent to get through.

Alberta Fire Bans
Provides information on fire bans in Edmonton, as well as across Alberta.
Main page content begins here
Dry weather can lead to fire hazards in City parks, fields and other green spaces. When the fire hazard is extreme, the City of Edmonton may issue a fire ban to protect life and property.
A fire ban can restrict any of these regulated activities:
Edmonton Fire and Rescue Services (EFRS) wants to work with Edmontonians to keep everyone safe. Therefore, during a fire ban/restriction, EFRS will emphasis compliance over enforcement. However, failure to comply could result in a fine and/or fighting fees if the actions result in a fire or are deemed dangerous to the life, property and/or environment of Edmonton.
You can help keep Edmonton safe by checking www.albertafirebans.ca or calling 311 before you burn to find out if there is a fire ban in Edmonton.
EFRS uses a tool called the Fire Weather Index System to measure and forecast fire hazard conditions in Edmonton. It is based on weather data and takes into account everything from temperature and wind conditions to relative humidity and moisture levels in the ground.
A fire restriction prohibits the use of fireworks and open burning. During a restriction you can still use your backyard fire pits provided they meet the Community Standards Bylaws. You may also use your BBQs and cooking stoves.
However, a complete fire ban prohibits the use of fireworks and any open burning. If conditions require, a ban may also restrict the use of firepits and cooking stoves in parks, as well as BBQs that use solid fuels (wood and briquettes). Backyard firepits will only be banned when the fire hazard is extreme throughout Edmonton, while gas/propane fueled BBQs are still permitted but must be located and supervised properly.
Open burning includes any controlled burns that are subject to conditions set in an open burning fire permit.
For more information, see Part IV of the Community Standards Bylaw
We would encourage the public to politely communicate the noncompliance to the individual, as most of these instances occur because of a lack of awareness. However, if the individual continues his/her behaviour then we recommend calling 9-1-1.
You can use a propane BBQ or stove during a fire ban. Propane BBQs or stoves are permitted because they are metal, contained and don't generate smoke or embers. Propane BBQs are also permitted in City parks during fire bans.
Solid fuel (charcoal) BBQs are not permitted because they produce embers. These embers, combined with dry and windy conditions can be exceptionally dangerous.
You need a permit to purchase, possess, store and use fireworks within the City of Edmonton and to do any kind of open burning. Call 780-496-3628 or 311 to find out how to obtain a permit. Remember, no permits are required for backyard firepits that meet the Community Standards Bylaw, cooking stoves, fire places or BBQs.
To find out how to obtain a fire permit.
In Edmonton: 311
Outside Edmonton: 780-442-5311
