Now entire library on chip developed by Indian-American
By IANS, 29 April 2010
Washington: An Indian-American scientist has developed a computer chip that can store an unprecedented amount of data - enough to hold an entire library.
The new chip stems from a breakthrough in the use of nanodots, or nanoscale magnets, and represents a significant advance in computer-memory technology.
"We have created magnetic nanodots that store one bit of information on each nanodot, allowing us to store over one billion pages of information in a chip that is one square inch," says Jay Narayan, professor of Materials Science and Engineering at North Carolina State University (NCSU).
Narayan, a product of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, conducted the study. continue reading Economic Times

text: During the summer I had a fantastic trip to Vancouver Island with my loved ones. During my stay i was introduced to the print studio of Pina. It was one of those AH HA moments for me. So motivating for me to go it alone also. The staff at Pina were super down to earth and full of excitement for their product and designs. They were so kind to let me poke my big nose around and i came away with more courage to take a risk with my skills. I hope to be as inspirational and nurturing myself.

Let me start by saying that the Revvo has the same problems with the wick and coil that they all have. It is made of cotton and currently only has a kanthal wire (though I am told SS316L is incoming). And thus, may eventually burn, if one is not careful.
It is best to pulse the button during inhalation to keep it from getting too hot. I have not yet burnt one, accidentally, and I have been hard on them...in the name of Science. Best temps are between 30w and 37w. My sweet spot is 35.6w. You can go higher, which produces even bigger and thicker clouds but taste degrades and risk of burning increases.
I did however take it to 70 watts, again in the name of Science. Don't do that! The amount of vapor literally gave me a drowning sensation. I spent what seemed like minutes coughing and chugging my smoke stack around the kitchen. The taste was, as you'd expect, a bit burnt. The powerful hit did put an end to the evenings production of this review...and I have a high tolerance..no pun!
Where the Revvo differs from every other coil is that it is suspended above the mix. That is, it is NOT in or touching the main body of the mix. It is revolutionary in that regard.
In the event you do burn the coil. Simply remove it and drop in a new one. Your mix is still golden. If you burnt the coil then you also Vaped it dry..so no loss of your costly concentrate, which makes us Happy.
It should be noted that your coil/wick will darken over time without burning, however. This is due to the live kanthal wire decarbing the already wicked mix which is then trapped in the cotton.
Normally this also darkens your mix. But, again, because it is suspended above there is no problem - unless you are firing in the horizontal position. This is normal for all vaping whether nicotine juice or ours. Check /r/CoilGore on Reddit for a plethora of examples.
You may find the taste less awesome, in which case you be can put in another coil. I sometimes take a bit of paper towel and lightly wipe the dark juice from the top of the coil to clean up flavour without having to change. It is your choice but not necessary, as the tank will remain clear, even if slightly darker, until the last drop. Additionally, when adding to the tank go ahead and wipe the inner top cap. Moisture, and juice from spitting, collect in it as part of the design.
Speaking of juice. I have found a 1g to 3ml ratio (=3.80mls) to be best. This is plenty strong enough as you are only limited by quality of concentrate and lung capacity. One of my favourite features of Wax Liquidizer is that it allows me to mix and match my terpene profiles. I can whip up an energizing Sativa tank to get things done or a nice pain killing couch-lock sedation.
1. Unscrew top chamber from base and set the base on top of the drip tip, to give a more stable surface. You can unscrew the mounting screw as well, if wanted. It makes it easier to press down the fill funnel, if like me, you have thicker fingers.
2. Press down the spring loaded fill funnel with one hand/finger and keep it depressed. At the same time use the other hand to inject your mix with a blunt tip syringe, which can be found in the Wax Liquidizer store. Only just insert the tip of syringe a little ie 2mm or so. If you place it all the way down against the bottom, the mix will overflow the funnel, as the ports in the bottom of the fill tube will be blocked.
Fill with half of your mix. I have found this to be the best way of maintaining maximum flavor as you simply add the other half when the level gets low, which "freshens" the flavor up. Moreover, the top level of the concentrate is even further below the coil. Even though the coil is not in the mix I find the warmth of any tank will eventually denature the flavor slightly. After adding, depress the now empty syringe plunger once more into the fill funnel. The air will blow any remaining concentrate out of the funnel and into the tank.
3. Reassemble the tank, close the air vents and turn the tank upside down for 2 minutes in order to wick the tank for the first time.
4. Attach tank to your mod, hopefully you have the Skystar. If so, set it to (soft). If not, any regulated MOD will do and set the Wattage to 30w. Open air vents halfway. Take a drag. The first is dry, as the coil/wick must "season". The tank and coil are now warm so flip it again for a second. Turn it up to 33w and take another puff. Still a little dry but flavor is coming through more. Turn it upside down to coat the wick in warm Wax Liquidizer mix for another second. Turn it up to 35.5w and take a nice looong drag, while pulsing for heat. Now we're cooking! From here on the flavor and clouds get better and bigger as the wicking progresses and the coil seasons.
*Note: The above is not a must. You could go right to 35.5 and by the third pull it will be good. I just like to err on the side of caution and break in/ properly wick the whole ensemble before riding it hard.
5. If you are sharing or are somehow able to take 5-6 hyooge drags in a row and are still standing (very serious) flip the tank over for a second or two to wick. Otherwise it "magically" wicks itself.
Most people will tip it a little while taking a drag, which wicks even better and gives a juicy puff. However, I advise against this method as it now puts the whole mix in contact with the live coil...which at minimum leads to discoloration. Best is just to flip it for a second or two every now and then, when not firing.
*Note: This is where I was going to put a short video demonstrating the cloud-possibilities, but alas. Every shot had a problem. I would get 3-4 shots (made for tv puffs) and had to end production! Feel free to send some of yours!
6. Safety: When not in use close air vents and put on the provided silicone cap. This will keep your mix tastier, prevent environmental debris falling on the coil and it is a good habit for travel. If the tank lays on it's side or upside down too long the mix will, eventually, leak through the top. This will flood your coil, which can be a lot of fun but messy and costly.
Also note that after the coil has been in use for a while, then cooled and used again it may "spit". A common problem among all tanks whether nicotine e juice or ours. You can avoid this, once it starts happening, by pulsing for a second before taking the first puff until the "pop". However, I am working on a fix for everyone as I like perfection.
As stated, this is the ONLY big sub ohm tank that will run a Wax Liquidizer and concentrates mix reliably...for now...in this price range.
I have more projects in the works which I have high hopes will yield results for the DIY crowd, the MTL pen crowd and those who want to have several mls of Wax Liquidizer in their tanks without having to reload...enough for the whole class.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned!

Hi Happy Vaper, I've found your articles so useful! You seem to be the only one going through the experiments I so desperately need the answers for. I know about the unwell fancier, but currently I don't want to build, and this revvo is looking like the best bet for me. A few questions, how long, or how many ml, did the coils last you with your mix? Did you find you had to vape it differently due to the coil position and keeping the mix away from the coil during firing? Tilting your head, instead of the tank? Also, how juice hungry was the tank at the wattage you recommended of between 30w and 37w? Thanks in advance, much appreciated!
HI William,
I think we got everything sorted via email! For anyone else reading along; I suggest a good pod or the Uwell Fancier. They are both far superior to using the Revvo. The Revvo was a great first find and will work but why settle when there is better:)
Look at the Vaporesso Veco One with ceramic coils I have tried so many tanks and pens and have settled on the Veco One
Hi Shane,
Apologies for the late reply. Your post somehow evaded my radar.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Since this post I have discovered the absolute Best tank for THC/CBD E Juice and posted the article on the same here: https://www.waxliquidizer.com/best-tank-for-thccbd-e-juice-happy-vaper
There is no better and no comparison. I'll keep looking though;)
Keep well and check back for more!
I have a new Device that combines the heavy hits of the Aspire WITH the ease of a prefilled POD and just loads like the rest (syringe) and plug) and has a killer battery....interested in reviewing it, it just came out and I am interested in what you think.
Hi Charles,
I am always interested in trying new tools for Wax Liquidizer! You could say it is my "calling":) Do you want to email me the brand and details, as I may already be testing it at the moment? I am knee deep in research here and constantly on the lookout for more tech!

The National Weather Service warned of a foot of snow, coastal flooding and high winds, but that didn't stop Brianna Way from heading to the Cape Cod Mall.
HYANNIS — The National Weather Service warned of a foot of snow, coastal flooding and high winds, but that didn't stop Brianna Way from heading to the Cape Cod Mall.
"I didn't realize it was going to be that bad," Way said of her trip from Mashpee.
Way and her fianc�, along with his sister and niece, were among the throngs who braved the big fluffy flakes to circle the parking lot and wait for spaces to open up Sunday at the mall.
"I have gift cards. I want to spend them," said Bourne resident Jessica Tuell, as her 3-year-old daughter cried "Mama!" and begged for another ride on the carousel near the food court. "I like the snow."
The festive atmosphere was at odds with the reality outside, where skidding accidents littered the Cape and snow quickly piled up throughout the afternoon.
The National Weather Service predicted the Upper Cape would bear the brunt of the storm with 6 to 12 inches and the Lower Cape could see as little as 2 inches, though forecasts continued to change as the storm shifted through the evening. A high wind warning is in effect until 6 p.m. today, with northeast and north winds reaching 40 mph, with gusts up to 60 mph. Those winds, along with heavy, wet snow, were expected to take down trees and power lines from the Upper Cape and Rhode Island, the National Weather Service said in its warning.
As of 8 p.m., NStar reported 34,000 customers on Cape Cod and the South Shore were without power.
Coastal flooding was another concern as high tides were cresting at 4 a.m. this morning. Seas were expected to reach 20 to 25 feet and a flood warning was in effect until 6 a.m.
The Steamship Authority and Hy-Line cancelled ferry service Sunday afternoon to Nantucket and most flights were cancelled.
The wintry conditions came as a band of frigid weather snaked its way up the East Coast, bringing blizzard conditions to New York City and most of New England.
Gov. Deval Patrick declared a state of emergency for the second major storm to hit the state since winter's official start Dec. 21.
As Patrick visited the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency's bunker in Framingham Sunday, he said the state of emergency would continue through this morning. Declaring a state of emergency allows the governor to mobilize the National Guard if necessary and conduct other emergency business to help local communities respond to the storm. Through the storm, 4,000 plows, sanders and salt trucks were on state roads, the governor said.
In some ways, the timing helped keep people out of the elements. But the weather didn't slow mall shopper John English.
"Snow doesn't bother me," he said. "I work in it. I drive in it."
Material from the Associated Press was used in this report.

It's Thursday, so you already know what that means! We're gonna talk about what we can expect this coming week.
Mr.Davis – Gucci Mane
As most of you know, the talk of the month has been Gucci's upcoming 4th studio album this year, Mr. Davis. The anticipated album already had some confirmed hits. "I Get The Bag," featuring Migos and "Make Love" with the slowly slipping Nicki Minaj can both be seen on the track list, along side songs with Big Sean, Monica, Schoolboy Q, A$AP Rocky, and Slim Jxmmi.
Unfortunately, the set date for September 15th has now been altered a bit. Which honestly threw me off. I was already planning my night around its release: Put my daughter to bed, throw on some sweats, and hop in my car for a drive around the city and some fye tunes. Well, my dreams were crushed yesterday when I found out the horrible news that Mr. Davis will indeed be pushed back till October 13th.
Luckily, Mr.Davis released a new single, "Curve," from his self-titled project which features The Weeknd. You can listen to that new track below.
We Want Smoke – Hustle Gang
Now, I'm never checking for T.I., but it's been a year since he and his Hustle Gang crew released a compilation project.
This Friday, the ATL group drops We Want Smoke which features a few newer names affiliated with the clique. Tokyo Jetz, RaRa, London Jae, and Young Booke can all be expected to be a part of the album, along with B.o.B., Trae The Truth, Young Dro, and of course T.I. himself.
They've released two singles already both with videos. "Do No Wrong" can find found on the New Music Videos tab, or by clicking here; and "Friends," their latest video is right down there.

Recently I reached out to speak with local artist and creative LaReign Storm about her take on relationships. We see a lot of people talking about relationships so I thought it would be nice to get the take of someone that gets to use the hashtag #finewomenfriday.
When she heard the topic of relationships come up one day on Twitter she had the urge to speak. It moved her to see so many people that have given up on the ideal of love. The ideal of love seems so foreign to so many people that they have completely given up on the ideal of being in a relationship.
It is hard to be loved when you don't think love is possible.
One thing about relationships is that often they are told from a personal perspective. Depending on where we are in our lives is how we think about relationships. If you have been married a few years then you probably never think about relationships. If you have been single forever then all you think about are relationships and how to get into one.
So many people in our society are caught up in why they are not in a relationship and what someone needs to do to be in a relationship with them. Since very few people are going to go out of their way to make another person happy there are many lonely people in the world searching for love.
Even though relationship problems are something that everyone faces, it does becomes clear under close scrutiny that African Americans have unique challenges that others do not face; Storm believes this is due to the fact that over generations many African Americans have grown up in hurtful situations. This leaves them guarded against falling in love and wearing masks to prevent getting hurt again and again.
We often talk about how African American women suffer when it comes to love but we rarely speak about the hurt that African American men suffer. The idea of love in the African American community has become so warped that many do not even know what love is therefore they are not able to give or receive it from others. For many see love and caring in African American men as a sign of weakness therefore it is something these men have learned to hide all their lives.
We then talked about why people today talk about relationships so much. She believes it is because people want to be loved and cherished by someone but they don't believe there is someone out there that will actually love them. People spend a lot of time trying to figure out why relationships go so wrong and how they can fix them so they can be happy.
Storm doesn't believe that you should go into a relationship with marriage being the ultimate goal. She believes you should just take it one day at a time without the pressure of labels just the desire to be together and get to know each other.
Today people go into marriages for the wrong reasons. It seems people get married for any reason except love. People focus too much on achieving their idea of what a perfect spouse would be but leave love out of the marriage equation.
Storm like a lot of us would like to see people together and happy without the pressure or feeling they have to be in a relationship. With that said though there is nothing wrong with being in a relationship and feeling loved because we all need love and romantic relationships are just one of the many ways we are loved.
Relationships are just part of our lives, it is not our entire life so if you can not find a romantic love it is okay to be alone too.

WHERE QUESTIONS OF MEDIUM and making are concerned, most art criticism seems patently uninterested in (if not fundamentally incapable of) dealing with issues of production. Why obsess over the stuff of MFA curricula and fabrication trade manuals, goes the rationale, when more urgent issues are at stake? Given the choice between a meditation on aesthetics and politics, say, or on the latest shoptalk about rapid-prototyping technology, the decision seems made in advance.
Perhaps it's a decision worth reconsidering. We should hardly need convincing that questions of production are continuous with matters of labor; and where labor is at issue, politics at once precede it and trail in its wake. So maybe it is high time for us to revisit that old Marxian saw "the means of production," precisely because such concerns can illuminate deeper readings of the art-and-politics question.

Realms In The Firmament - Chapter 168
Chapter 168 - Kill Or Be Killed?
The assassins tried everything to stop Song Jue.
They knew that once Song Jue got Ye Xiao, things would be totally different.
Song Jue kept trying to get through, but he couldn't. He was quite anxious. His condition hadn't fully recovered yet. Sometimes the enemies were showing their shortcomings. He could see them clearly, yet he just couldn't seize the chance. He had no choice but to keep roaring with a voice like a thunderclap, ''Go protect the young lord, you bunch of dead men! Go quickly!''
The assassins kept defending Song Jue's attack and sneered, ''Song Yi-Dao, no more dreams now. The one who should be in that room was one of the most famous figure in the assassination world, Liu Chang-Jun, Brother Liu, who was called the Instant Killer. Ye Xiao should be dead right now.''
Song Jue was shocked and several fatal attacks got over to him. He forcibly kept himself stable and defended the attacks. He shouted, ''Liu Chang-Jun! I, Song Jue, swear that if you dare to kill Ye Xiao, after tonight, everyone in your clan, old or young, women or men, will all get killed one after another!!!''
The man opposite to him sneered, ''Hahaha. That's a scary useless threat. You should say that when you survive, well, if you can. And I think I should tell you that Liu Chang-Jun is always solitary. He just belongs to no organizations and has no families. Hahahaha.''
Song Jue was furious. He kept attacking more and more fiercely. The situation became rather tense at the moment.
However, nobody knew that the so-called Instant Killer, Liu Chang-Jun didn't really dare to move now in the room.
Earlier than this, Liu Chang-Jun used his fiercest sword move, striking a sharp sword light through the window of Ye Xiao's room.
It was a killing strike.
That was Liu Chang-Jun's most famous move.
A long sword sent his enemies to the grave.
The sword light was sharp and fast.
He thought that Ye Xiao would surely die for it, so he started to think about how he could escape a thousand miles away. He thought that even though Ye Nan-Tian was a powerful man, he wouldn't be able to find him.
However, when he was feeling extremely confident and entered the room vigorously, what he saw was the black cotton quilts.
When Ye Xiao saw the sword light getting close to his body, he knew that the guy who struck it must be some superior cultivator. The sword light was pure blue. It meant the man was at least at the middle levels of the Grade of Tianyuan.
Ye Xiao had improved a lot recently, yet he was still not a match to such a strong opponent.
Since he couldn't fight against him face to face, he had to use some tactics.
He got off the bed and casually threw the quilts that had been under his body. The quilts flew like a spinning dark cloud and became a perfect parclose.
He was covered behind the quilts.
The whole process made Ye Xiao feel that his body was so light all of a sudden. He was lighter than a swallow. No. It was more than that. He was actually lighter than fog. He didn't even feel difficult doing all the moves. He felt like he could do much more than just escaping the enemy's attack.
At the moment, the hidden energy inside his body suddenly bursted.
He felt like he would explode if he didn't emit the energy as soon as possible.
He had moved faster than he thought. He just casually struck with his palm.
Liu Chang-Jun's attack missed. The breath of the sword had tear the quilts apart and the cottons flew over the room.
He realized that no one was there and saw a white palm coming so close to his face.
The counterattack was so quick, yet he knew that the one who struck was not strong enough. [He must be lower than the Grade of Tianyuan. Look at his attack. It isn't even light blue.]
So he humphed and sneered, ''He was over-confident.''
So he didn't even think much and struck his left fist on it.
A fast attack and a fast counterattack.
- Boom! -
The palm and the fist crashed.
Liu Chang-Jun thought that it was merely the attack of a low-level cultivator. He was striking a full power fist back. He thought he should have at least broken the palm at once.
However, things were out of his imagination and against the natural law.
Ye Xiao wasn't damaged at all. His hand was fine. He just staggered a bit;his face suddenly turned purple for a second and then recovered to normal. He didn't step even a single step back.
There was a more astonishing thing.
Liu Chang-Jun felt a stream of gelid qi, which seemed to be able to freeze the whole world, enter his hand through the palm.
That was too surprising. He didn't have time to react and his body was completely frozen. His fist was covered by a layer of hoarfrost. Half of his body was unable to move even a bit.
This weird gelid qi that had never appeared in this world had truly shocked Liu Chang-Jun. His Jing and Mai were instantly damaged.
[What the hell! What happened?]
He was, however, an experienced guy. He didn't panic. He took a breath of the spiritual qi in and out. All of his cultivation power bursted. His arms were shining with blue glow. That had quickly removed the gelid qi inside his hand. He was already sweating coldly.
He felt like he had already gone around the door to the hell for three times. If Ye Xiao was a bit stronger, he would have died ten times for now.
''What is this martial art? Who are you?'' He suddenly realized the man he was dealing with was never a small figure. That palm had prove his high-level cultivation capability. He realized that his opponent might be even stronger than himself.
''You are here to kill me. Yet you asked me such a question. Are you here to kill me, or to amuse me?'' Ye Xiao smiled and sneered.
''You are Ye Xiao?'' Liu Chang-Jun shouted in astonishment. He felt scared at once.
Ye Xiao laughed and said, ''You are so smart. I have to praise you for that.''
Liu Chang-Jun felt like being fooled.
He was so confused at the moment.
He had heard a lot about Ye Xiao. He was told that Ye Xiao was extremely useless and he was at his last breath.
However, it turned out Ye Xiao was alive vividly.
[I am here to assassinate such a superior cultivator, who has been faking ill...]
He was blank and confused. [Well... Is this supposed to be a trap?
Well urh... As an assassin, am I here to kill or to get killed?]
Ye Xiao clapped his hands twice. - Pah. Pah. - His one hand became golden and the other became pure while. They were a golden hand and a gelid hand.
The palm strike he had made had given him much confidence.
He realized his cultivation capability had improved by leaps and bounds.
He struck it because he felt he had to. Yet he still felt the same after that because the energy in his body was still bursting.
Most importantly, the strike had caused nothing harmful to his body. He even noticed that his strike was a bit light blue.
That was shocking to Ye Xiao.
He should have been at the fourth level of the Grade of Diyuan.
But he was stably at the eighth level now.
And he didn't feel it would become unstable at all.
[The enlightenment to me earlier must have boosted my cultivation. It was just the understanding of love that opened the gate to the natural law. It must have given me a surprising improvement.]
He was thinking while his hand was attacking. The golden one was flashing with golden flow and the other one was striking cold qi. He was smiling coldly. His eyes were looking at the masked assassin.
His hair was flying in the air while he kept moving his hands.
What his feet did was the famous move of the Xiao Monarch, the One Laughter in Skyline.
Three marvelous martial arts struck together. Liu Chang-Jun was complaining of suffering. He tried so hard to defend. He almost didn't have time to breathe. He was so focus on defending from the attacks. He had no time to speak, not to mention looking outside the window.
He could just curse in mind.
[This... Is this the 'useless foolish foppish young lad' the employer told me? Is this what they say 'hanging there with his last breath'? Is this Ye Nan-Tian's useless son?
Who the fxck posted such a reward? This is simply deceptive!
It is going to fxck me up so bad this time!]
Liu Chang-Jun couldn't help cursing in his mind. Other than that, he even wanted to cry.
The guy in front of him was obviously a vigorous and healthy man, and the guy even had an outstanding cultivation capability.
[So this is the 'dying man' you all have been talking about huh?
And he seems to be more experienced than I do...]

From Jammie Wearing Fools:
Andrea Ramsey, a Democratic candidate for Congress, will drop out of the race after the Kansas City Star asked her about accusations in a 2005 lawsuit that she sexually harassed and retaliated against a male subordinate who said he had rejected her advances.
Multiple sources with knowledge of the case told The Star that the man reached a settlement with LabOne, the company where Ramsey was executive vice president of human resources. Court documents show that the man, Gary Funkhouser, and LabOne agreed to dismiss the case permanently after mediation in 2006.
Ramsey, a 56-year-old retired business executive from Leawood, was one of the Democratic candidates vying to challenge Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder in 2018 in Kansas' 3rd District.
She was running with the endorsement of Emily's List, a liberal women's group that has raised more than a half-million dollars to help female candidates who support abortion rights.
Ramsey will drop out on Friday, her campaign said.
"In its rush to claim the high ground in our roiling national conversation about harassment, the Democratic Party has implemented a zero tolerance standard," Ramsey said in a statement Friday. "For me, that means a vindictive, terminated employee's false allegations are enough for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to decide not to support our promising campaign. We are in a national moment where rough justice stands in place of careful analysis, nuance and due process."
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which has not endorsed anyone in the race, said in a statement that members and candidates must all be held to the highest standard.
"If anyone is guilty of sexual harassment or sexual assault, that person should not hold public office," said committee spokeswoman Meredith Kelly.
Emily's List said in a statement on Friday that the group supported Ramsey's decision to drop out of the race and wished her well.
Ramsey was not a party to the lawsuit or the settlement, although she's referred to throughout the complaint as Andrea Thomas, her name before she married her husband in late 2006. She denied the allegations to the Star in two interviews over the last two weeks and said the lawsuit is surfacing now for political purposes.
See JWF for more and reax.
It is a political feeding frenzy. Emily's List gets caught in the crossfire. Eric, please pass the popcorn.
How far are we willing to go and what price will be be willing to pay in order to criminalize biology? Film at Eleven.

Arcam announces FDA clearance of implants produced with Additive Manufacturing
U.S. implant manufacturers have recently received FDA's clearance for products manufactured with Arcam's EBM® technology. With the FDA clearance the companies are allowed to market their products on the important U.S. market.
The U.S. market for orthopaedic implants represents about half of the world-wide implant market. Up to now U.S. sales of orthopaedic products manufactured with Arcam's EBM technology have been limited to patient-specific implants, which do not require clearance. Arcam already has systems installed for orthopaedic applications at four U.S. companies. These recent FDA clearances open up a market with a large potential, and are a further confirmation that implants produced with the Arcam technology fulfil the high standards and demands in the orthopaedic implant industry.
"Our customers in Europe have, since 2007, produced and implanted more than 10.000 CE-certified advanced orthopaedic implants with our technology. These recent FDA approvals are an important step towards a broad acceptance of Arcam's EBM technology for implant manufacturing on the large and important U.S. market", says Magnus René, CEO of Arcam.

We're big fans of Dan and Chip Heath's work. You'll see it referenced in our materials frequently as they undertake very solid research and present their findings in readable and interesting ways.
We were especially pleased when they highlighted one of the behaviours we have identified as organizational Noise which waste people's time, resources and potential:
Good leaders excel at converting something ambiguous into something behavioral. Take Terry Leahy, one of the leaders responsible for reversing the fortunes of Tesco, now the U.K.'s No. 1 grocer. One of Tesco's ambiguous goals was to do a better job "listening to customers." Leahy broke down that goal into a set of specific actions. For instance, cashiers were trained to call for help anytime more than one person was waiting in the checkout line. In addition, Tesco received 100,000 queries per week from customers. Leahy's team made sure that all Tesco managers had access to customer concerns. (If you want to listen to customers, you had better make sure your managers can hear what they're saying.) As a result, they learned counterintuitive lessons, such as that customers dislike stainless-steel refrigerators, which remind people of a hospital -- not an ideal association for a grocer.
Ambiguity simply isn't good for individuals, teams or entire enterprises. Read the full article at Fast Company here:

Italy is amazing; but let's face it, summer in Rome can be brutal, and forget Florence with it's cramped dusty medieval alleys and burning hot paving stones. Join us tonight in the Homestead as we taste the wonders of Italian wine and cheese, all from the comfort of the cheese shop. You'll be transported to the rolling hills of Tuscany, the stunning alpine vistas of Piedmont, the fiery flavors of the south and everything in between that is the gastronomical bounty of Italy. Bring a friend or make new ones as we taste five unique cheeses paired with five beautiful vini italiani. Cin cin!
This is a ticketed event.

Perhaps you haven't heard of the Sandwich Generation -- a slew of 40- to 60-year-old Americans who find themselves financially caring for both their elderly parents and their young adult children.
Reading the headlines, you'd think caring for so many people could suck the joy out of life. Here's a sampling:
- "Sandwich generation is trapped caring for children and parents" --The Times (U.K.)
- "The Sandwich Generation: Caught in the Middle" -- Kiplinger
- "Retirement reset: Sandwiched Boomers put plans on hold" -- USA Today
Maybe it's just me, but when I read headline after headline about people being "trapped," I get a little anxious about our future.
But before we panic, let's get a sense of what the Sandwich Generation actually looks like. Here's a breakdown:
In total, roughly 15% of Americans between the age of 40 and 60 would qualify as being in the Sandwich Generation.
There is unquestionably a distinct set of financial circumstances in which you are caring for more people than you might have planned for. When Pew Research asked members of the Sandwich Generation how they would describe their household's financial situation, it appears caring for elderly parents can especially strain finances.
|Supporting Parent 65-Plus
|Not Supporting Parent 65-plus
|Live comfortably
|Meet basic expenses with a little left over
|Just meet basic expenses
|Don't have enough to meet basic expenses
Additionally, the Family Caregiver Alliance has found that adults who overcommit to helping out loved ones can lose their sense of self, and they consequently have higher rates of clinical depression.
The problem isn't the message; it's the tone
Many of the articles referenced above actually give great advice for adapting to these changing circumstances: Discuss finances with those you are caring for, set boundaries, keep the lines of communication open, and don't forget to tend to your own social and emotional needs.
Those are all important.
It's not the content of these articles I have a problem with. Rather, it's the gloom-and-doom tone they set. Dig a little deeper and see what the Sandwich Generation has to say about the reality (not just the theory) of living in these circumstances, and we discover that by myopically focusing on just finances, we are missing some of the benefits associated with these circumstances.
The implication is that if finances are strained, then people must be less happy. And in the end, life satisfaction should matter the most, right? But here's what the Sandwich Generation -- and adults of the same age range who don't care for children and adults -- had to say, according to the same PewResearch poll.
Yes, you read that right: The Sandwich Generation is actually happier than those of the same age who aren't caring for kids and parents. This is one of the most important findings, but it's not what dominates the headlines.
How could this be?
I won't pretend to see into the souls of every person who responded to the Pew Research Center poll and divine an answer as to why members of the Sandwich Generation are happier than their peers. But I will share two explanations that came to mind.
First, that same poll found that if parents were providing some financial assistance to a child, there was an 88% chance the child relied on them for some form of emotional support as well. If the parents weren't providing financial assistance, that number dipped to 63%. The same trend was found among adults caring for elderly parents. If adults were providing some type of day-to-day help, there was an 84% chance that they were providing some type of emotional support. But if the adult children weren't providing day-to-day assistance, that number dipped to 61%.
Providing that type of assistance can give one's life meaning and purpose -- a key ingredient for happiness.
Second, I think multigenerational living is far more common -- and much better for our well-being -- than we Americans tend to realize. Travel outside any industrialized Western country, and you are likely to see many generations living happily under one roof. Loneliness, and the anxiety that comes with it, is nowhere near as prevalent.
The American Society on Aging reported that within the U.S., while finances were often the catalyst to form multigenerational homes, the benefits went far beyond that: "Families living in multigenerational homes have built-in opportunities to build stronger, mutually beneficial intergenerational relationships."
You may not agree with these ideas, and I cannot prove or disprove them within the scope of this article. But the bottom line is that careful financial and emotional planning will make adaptation easier, and the overall effect on your happiness could actually be a net positive.

Engineering + Alumni Engagement
A couple weeks back we published our Alumni Social Media Playbook with clear tactics on when, where and with what content to engage alumni via social media. Since then, hundreds of schools have downloaded the resource and we've been writing about use cases here on what you can do with those insights.
Today, I'd like to talk about how your engineering program, students and faculty is a big opportunity for alumni engagement.
It may not come as a surprise, but technology is one of the most actively engaged with topics on Facebook,, the 2nd most engaged with topic on LinkedIn and #3 on Twitter. When we think of tech, perhaps we think about the latest news from Apple or Google, but how about what your engineering program is up to? As before, I'll use my amazing alma mater, The University of Arizona, to evidence the power of an engineering department's content to engage alumni over social media:
Frankly, the UofA has been a leader in space exploration for a long time - since well before I was there and ever since. Recently, they did something incredibly cool - they created 3D images of Mars with the orbiter they have above Mars' surface. Yes, you read that correctly. 'Zona has 3D pics of Mars. That_Is_Amazing. We'd suggest cross posting this news to all three major social networks as part of a week of amazing UofA tech with, even, a Twitter chat with the team that runs the orbiter project.
There are very few education initiatives more important than STEM education; save, perhaps, for WOMEN in STEM. The UofA has an impressive program called WISE (Women In Science and Technology). Here's a great news item out of that program. Admittedly, the organization has been content-dormant for over a year. I'd really encourage that team to speak louder and more often about the incredible work they're doing. Why? Because people really care about this kind of work and need to know (and want to know). Because Pinterest over-indexes on Millennial and GenX women users, we'd suggest adding to the core slate of social networks a great range of visual accounts of the fantastic work that WISE is doing. Go Cats!
Everyone these days seems to be talking about drones. Well, guess what? The UofA has a Micro Air Vehicles Laboratory. This is another instance of me and thousands of alumni wanting to geek out. Do you know how I found out about it? By doing a deep search into the sub pages of the Engineering Department's website. Very few folks are doing that. However, they're RICH with social content having created videos on Vimeo of some of their designs.
To summarize: your STEM students are incredible folks doing things that your alumni, regardless of their major or career, find interesting. Share their successes!

"Leaving Boys Behind" leaves race behind
Studies about "gender gaps" do talk about race—why don't the headlines?
By Lynn Harris in Salon Magazine's Broadsheet
Apr. 19, 2006 | Today, the Manhattan Institute released a study called "Leaving Boys Behind" that highlights the following finding: Approximately 72 percent of girls in the high school class of '03—versus 65 percent of the boys—actually graduated. The New York Times, under the headline "Boys Are No Match for Girls in Completing High School," notes that this gender gap is "far more pronounced among minorities."
We've argued plenty on Salon.com about the matter of the gender gap in education. And the main thing that's really, truly new about this study is that it's apparently among the first to compile data by district and state as well as race. There are just two things I want to underscore for now: one, that such titles and headlines—while I realize none should be expected to tell the whole story in 10 words—misplace the focus. Yes, we do need to figure out what boys and girls need to do their best in school—or, at very least, to stay there. But you don't need to dig far into the study to find that, by its count, the national graduation rate for Hispanic students is a shocking 53 percent—and for African-American students 55 percent—compared with 78 percent for whites.
People, that is just over half; when you slice it that way, the difference between the have-diplomas and have-nots is even more pronounced. The study's conclusion states clearly—before discussing the matter of gender, which it does in terms of race—that "it is important for policymakers and the public to understand that only about 70 percent of all students and a little more than half of Hispanic and African-American students graduate from high school." So why don't these titles or headlines trumpet the "race gap"? If they did, at the very least, anyone with "gender gap" fatigue might be prompted to actually read what follows.
The Times also notes that graduation rates have long been "slippery topics" in education, in part because the data itself can be slippery in the first place. Researchers at the Economic Policy Institute, while not disputing that low graduation rates across the board are cause for alarm, argue—using census rather than school-district data—that this study, as the Times paraphrased, "seriously exaggerates the problem." This disagreement, the Times continues, is not only about different data sets. "It also mirrors political differences between the conservative Manhattan Institute, which favors school choice, and the liberal Economic Policy Institute, which has strong ties to unions."
So my second point is this: Whether or not the Manhattan Institute is "exaggerating," there's some irony here. The organization making even more dire pronouncements is the one more closely aligned with the political party that seems to be less interested in making things right.

AWC Pictures » Colon Cancer
I have just met up with a long time friend of mine, only to find he had spent time in hospital undergoing surgery after a diagnosis of bowel cancer. My friend Tom, whose knowledge about cancer of the colon was limited, naturally accepted all the treatments recommended by his health professional.
Tom had surgery in which they removed a section of his colon and his surgeon informed him afterwards that he had got it all. What Tom wasn't told was they had got all the cancer they could see but because individual cancer cells are only visible through a microscope there were possibly thousands of rogue cells left behind. He also wasn't told the surgical removal of cancer doesn't address the reasons why the cancer first grew so it won't stop it growing again in the future or shifting to another location.
Tom asked about a change in diet, could it help but was told he needn't make any as they didn't think what he had eaten had anything to do with his cancer. Nobody knew to tell him, the most powerful weapon to overcome any cancer is the food you choose to eat everyday. He also should have been told the connection between refined sugar and cancer. It had been discovered back in 19:31 that cancer cells survive by a process of fermentation and the food item that fuels this process is sugar. Eating refined sugar when you have cancer is like pouring gasoline onto a smouldering fire, it accelerates its growth.
He asked about exercise and once again got a negative response. We need exercise everyday to keep our immune system healthy. All cancers are a disease of a weak immune system which has been weakened by the way we live, especially with our sedentary lifestyle. Our immune system needs muscular activity to keep it working efficiently because it doesn't have a pump like the heart. So with a sluggish immune system it's not going to remove any cancer cells as they reappear again in the future.
There are many other important pieces of information my friend needed to know to aid his recovery and it's a sad fact that our medical professionals who are in charge of our health and healing don't know these facts. That's why doctors get cancer as well and we have had a few examples here where I live. Their treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy only attack the cancer growths and do nothing for the long term survival of any cancer patient.
All cancers were a rare occurrence 40 to 50 years ago where as today 1 in 3 people living in an industrialised country are being diagnosed with the problem. Cancer has many causes and it's not hard to find these causes when you carry out research into the cancer industry. Also our 3 orthodox treatments all damage the immune system, the very mechanism that keeps us health, disease free and cancer free.
The problem of getting information about cancer lies with the training of our health professionals. They are solely taught drug based medicine which is only a money orientated system of treatments. Also we don't have cancer prevention today and that is why it is growing at an alarming rate.

text: WASHINGTON — Apple is investigating a factory in southwest mainland China after a labour rights group said the tech giant's supplier forced student workers to work "like robots" to assemble its popular Apple Watch. Many were compelled to work in order to get their vocational degrees and had to do night shifts, according to an investigation by Hong Kong-based NGO Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour (SACOM). SACOM interviewed 28 students at the plant in Chongqing municipality over the summer, and all of them said they had not voluntarily applied to work there, according to the report published last week. They worked under the guise of "internships", SACOM said, a practice rights groups say is widespread in China as manufacturers pair up with vocational schools to supply workers and fill labour shortages when they ramp up production for new models or the Christmas rush. "Our graduation certificate will be withheld by the school if we refuse to come," said one student majoring in e-commerce, according to SACOM. The US titan has sold tens of millions of Apple Watches — which can cost up to $1,499 — since it was launched three years ago and chief executive Tim Cook said it was the most popular watch in the world. Manufacturing internships are permitted under Chinese labour law in some cases, but SACOM found the work has "literally nothing to do with learning" and violated some of the country's labour law provisions permitting intern work in factories. "We are like robots on… [Read full story]

Oh my Lawdamercy! It's almost 2014! I know I swore not to let "busy" overtake my holiday season, but sometimes it feels awfully hard to combat. It just flew by. I know I say that EVERY.SINGLE.MONTH but seriously. Between traveling to Savannah twice within a month's time to all of the parties, festivities, celebrations, and operating a business with an upcoming January wedding... it was cray.
SINCE IT'S DECEMBER, it's time to recap the full year. And plan for next year. I'm currently working through Lara Casey's 2014 Goal Planning series, filling out my Simplified Planner, and writing list upon list in a sweet little personalized notebook my fabulous January bride got me. I don't know if I'll go through every last detail right here (there are some super-secret but ultra fabulous news coming from the KDE offices here soon!)... but so much ahead. So much behind us, so much before us.
Let's go through the month, at least...
self care | I had a ton of soup after Thanksgiving's overindulgences. We've been chowing down on delicious white bean chicken chili (Drew makes the best ever, seriously), beaucoups of minestrone, and Mexican soup, among others. I haven't been to nearly enough yoga (new year's resolution!), but practicing my headstands on the reg and trying to find a substitute for all of the hot cocoa I've been piping through my veins. #christmas
home environment | Working on decluttering, creating new systems for organization, and streamlining our life at home. I took down all of the Christmas decor last night so that we can have a refreshed new year with a clean house. We're still not quite there yet, but progress. Progress.
relationship | Every single day I can't imagine loving Drew any more than I do. And every day I prove myself wrong, in the best way. He's been so wonderful to spend time with. I'm not really looking forward to being a busy season/CPA widow starting next month, but I know it's what we NEED, so I've got to do my best to be the ultimate supporter. Advice is welcome!
friends & fam | We had that holiday party we'd been hoping for yesterday! It was a low-key post-Christmas gathering of a few friends, complete with a specialty cocktail and my fabulously dressed Christmas table (to send off the season in style -- complete with striped red and green straws, green seersucker linens, red weaved placemats, and some Christmas-colored homemade marguerita pizza). We've seen plenty of family, friends (near and far!), and look forward to planned gatherings in 2014. I've grown terribly fond of brunch get-togethers; they're just the perfect way to see people without having to give up a whole Saturday night or plan a huge party months in advance. A little champ and fruit juice, coffee and fixings, a couple of quiches and some muffins, and BOOM.
career | God has shown me on so many occasions lately how He has definitely planned for me to continue on this path. The doors He's opened are so reaffirming it's undeniable. I'm just in it for the ride!
fun & rec | I haven't had a bit of a shortage of fun or recreation lately. Christmas cookie swaps, brunch with girlfriends, decorating cookies, going for walks, happy mail swaps, marathon board games... December's been good.
cause or purpose | Drew and I volunteered with our church a couple of weeks ago to help stuff food baskets and deliver them to families in need. My yoga studio has partnered with a fabulous philanthropy to help build self-sustainable communities in Uganda with a holiday program that I've had the privilege to participate in and promote, so that's been lovely as well. I love stumbling upon and contributing to really meaningful organizations that i'd be happy to stand behind wholeheartedly!
Look for goal-setting details and more tomorrow on my year-end recap! xoxo, KD

Our nation is slowly undertaking an initiative: the transition to electronic medical records. Once EMRs go live nationwide, all hospitals, clinics and medical professionals will have access to your medical information, no matter which doctor you've visited in the past. This can be particularly useful during travel, when people tend to get ill at the most inopportune times.
Electric medical records will give medical professionals access to your medical history, including: symptoms, diagnoses, treatments and prescriptions. By having quick access to this information, medical professionals can treat you faster and better, which is very important if you are itching to get back to your vacation.
Until EMRs go national, it's up to you to keep yourself and your family as healthy as possible on your next vacation. Here's how:
1. Eat Right
Just because you're going on vacation doesn't mean you should leave your healthy eating habits at home. While there's no doubt that you'll eat a fast-food dinner or two on your trip, do try to sit down to a healthy meal more often than not. If you're traveling across the open road, be sure to pack a cooler full of chopped fruits and veggies, nuts, seeds, granola bars and bottled water. Eating small meals frequently will help stave off the hunger pains that have you pulling in to the nearest McDonald's.
2. Exercise
Whether you need to stop at a rest stop to stretch your legs, walk up and down the aisle of the plane or simply walk to the next attraction instead of drive, make sure that you exercise while you're on vacation. Regular exercise will keep your heart healthy and your metabolism humming. Check out the hotel gym or see if a fitness center in the area offers day passes so that you can keep up with your exercise program while you are away from home.
3. Insurance
Before you leave for your destination, contact your insurance agent and find out if you have adequate coverage for your travels. If you are relegated to specific hospitals in your area, you may want to consider taking out a travel insurance policy for your trip. Travel insurance can protect you, and your wallet, should an emergency arise when you are out of your provider's network.
4. Apps
iTriage is a great app for your Apple device that will allow you to input all of your family's medical records into one convenient piece of software. Until EMRs are installed in every hospital and doctor's office, apps such as this one are the next best thing. After you input your family's medical information, you'll have access to it whenever you need it. As your family visits the doctor, receives treatment or are given prescriptions, simply update the data that you've already entered.
When EMRs are used across the nation, the thought of medical emergencies may not be as daunting. For now, it is up to you to ensure that your family remains as healthy and safe as possible when traveling. By making sure your family is eating healthy and exercising, and by carrying their medical information with you, you are doing everything you can to have a happy, healthy and safe vacation.

Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." R2: Matthew 26:6-25 Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. R3: "Why this waste?" R4: "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor." R2: Aware of this, Jesus said to them, R1: "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her." R2: Then one of the Twelve--the one called Judas Iscariot-- went to the chief priests and asked, R4: "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" R2: So they counted out for him thirty silver coins. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, R3: "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" R1: "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, `The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'" R2: So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, he said, R1: "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me." R2: They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, R3: "Surely not I, Lord?" R1: "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born." R2: Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, R4: "Surely not I, Rabbi?" R1: "Yes, it is you." Reflection: Surely not I?! Surely I would not betray you. But is Judas really all that different from us? Judas had been a follower of Jesus, one of the twelve, one of Jesus' friends. Jesus loved Judas. He had worked with him, shared meals with him, laughed with him, cried with him. And Judas had said the right things, had supposedly agreed with Jesus teaching. But when it came to the end, Judas cared more about money than about Jesus. Jesus wasn't Lord, He was convenience. Judas wanted Jesus to act a certain way. Judas had expectations about what serving God should look like. When those expectations were not met, Judas took matters into his own hands: he betrayed Jesus. What do we do when Jesus doesn't meet our expectations? (extinguish candle) Let us silently meditate in prayer on the betrayal of Jesus. Song: Knowing You

Every day, the automotive industry is becoming more and more connected. And onboard telematics, connected via the Internet of Things to manufacturer and consumer devices alike, will be critical to understanding and meeting consumer needs.
Incorporating artificial intelligence, data analytics, and engineering, telematics is empowering stakeholders across the automotive industry. Insurance providers are assessing driver risk by collecting data on driver habits and behavior, resulting in more carefully curated insurance premiums by location and demographic. Long-haul fleet managers are gathering data on fuel use, driver behavior, and vehicle performance to optimize routes, control costs, and increase road safety and driver productivity. In addition, data gathered from telematics and IoT offers dealerships and OEMs key regional and demographic data that informs their marketing strategies and allows them to perform more accurate targeted messaging.
And in the service drive, predictive maintenance technology promises a proactive, reimagined Consumer Experience that alerts vehicle owners for routine maintenance and streamlines consumer communication to its most essential elements.
OEMs are already offering built-in intelligence like GPS, emergency roadside assistance, smart diagnostics, streaming media, real-time weather, travel services, and stolen vehicle tracking. All standard on a car you can drive off the lot today.
We must leverage these developing technologies in a way that enhances the Consumer Experience long after the sale. Imagine a vehicle so smart, it not only recognizes when maintenance is due, but schedules and drives itself to a service appointment while you put in a day at the office. A completely connected, autonomous vehicle that proactively communicates with its owner, manufacturer, and service drive.
The fact is, telematics capabilities will be increasingly integrated into dealer management systems, allowing the vehicle to reach out directly to its owner for upsells and creating a previously non-existent sales channel for service drives. Recent breakdown? Due for new tires? Scheduled maintenance? The vehicle will reach out to the dealership and let the customer know you're anticipating their needs before they arise.
It's the kind of proactive service that will pay itself back tenfold when it's time for that customer to buy a new car.
It's not as far off as you think. And embracing its arrival may be the difference between status quo customer service and a truly positive experience.
As I've stated before, Fixed Ops is the new "Sales," and the sooner we seek to improve the customer's experience there, the better our chances of retaining them. Let's reimagine a Consumer Experience that leverages all of these forward-thinking advancements and empowers our service drives to do better.

"If we truly love people, we will desire for them far more than it is within our power to give them. This will lead us to intercessory prayer."
What is intercessory prayer? Why should I care to practice it? I can barely pray for myself - so why should I concern myself with trying to pray for others? And even if I wanted to pray for others, what is that supposed to look like?
Check out yesterday's message from the Extreme Makeover: PRAYER Edition series for answers to these questions and more. I also shared about my personal system for intercessory prayer and gave some tips about how you can get started in this Christ-like ministry of intercession as well.
And if stands out to you and you think it's worth sharing, be sure to use the hashtag #PrayerMakeover when you share it.

I've been very busy here, and apologize for the lack of newer posts. I'll have more on Cold War Threats and ASW tomorrow. Promise!
Thanks to all who have stopped by, commented, or just had a look around.
Meanwhile, the below image is of Combat Aircrew 10, VP-10, 1979/80 and is taken from the cruise book for that year's deployment to Rota, Spain, and Lajes Field, Azores. AW1 Tim is front row, 3rd from left. This was also the year I reenlisted, and LTJG Kolek, back row, was the officer who administered the oath. These were some GREAT guys to work with, and CAC-10 was a solid crew. It also is a good look at what Navy aircrew of that period were wearing.

Árbol de Navidad
Our family always buys a real árbol for Navidad. We have a spot in our house with cathedral ceilings and that is where we place our usually 14 foot árbol. This year we decided to find a Granja de Árboles Navideños to cut our own árbol. We found one a bit far away, but had a great time in the process. The process took the entire day by the way. La abuela came with us and ended up purchasing her own árbol also, so we tied dos freshly cut árboles to our nuevo carro and traipsed back to civilization. Result: a beautiful big fat árbol to call our own, topped with our sore muscles and back aches from dragging los dos over the hills and through the woods to our carro. Guess who ended up doing most of the dragging!!!

text: ORIGINAL_ARTICLE Free vibrations of flexibly connected elastically supported stiffened coupled shear walls with stepwise changes in width In this study, a free vibration analysis of flexibly connected, elastically supported, stiffened coupled shear walls is carried out by a simplifying method widely used in the past for the static analysis of similar structures [1]. This method, called the continuous connection technique (CCT), comprises an efficient tool for the predesign computations related to the treatment of high-rise buildings. While the discrete structure is formulated as a continuous medium, the continuously distributed mass of the structure is discretized to a system of lumped masses for finding the corresponding flexibility matrix. After obtaining the standard frequency equation of the discrete system, the circular frequencies are determined in a straightforward manner and used to find the modes of vibration. Some comparisons are made between the results of the present method and those of a previous one, resulting in a perfect match of the two http://ijstc.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1112_d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e.pdf 2013-03-02T11:23:20 2019-08-24T11:23:20 605 614 10.22099/ijstc.2013.1112 Stiffened coupled shear walls continuous connection technique free vibration
