Jacob David Tamarkin
Quick Info
Chernigov, Ukraine
Washington, D.C., USA
BiographyYakov Davydovich Tamarkin (known after he emigrated to the United States as J D Tamarkin or Jacob David Tamarkin) was born into a wealthy family. His father, David Tamarkin, was a doctor, and his mother was Sophie Krassilschikov. The family moved to St Petersburg where Tamarkin attended the Second Gymnasium.
The Second Gymnasium was the oldest secondary school in St Petersburg having been founded in 1806. The director of the school was Alexei Ivanovich Davidenkov, who came from a famous St Petersburg family. He had two nephews, one being a leading researcher in mechanics and physics who was a member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and the other was a famous psychiatrist who was a member of the Academy of Medical Sciences. Davidenkov avoided political involvement and ran the gymnasium as a top class school. Tamarkin was in the same class at the Second Gymnasium as Alexander Friedmann and the two became very close friends. Smirnov was also a pupil at the Second Gymnasium and was one year older than Tamarkin and Friedmann.
In each class Tamarkin and Friedmann performed brilliantly and from the fifth form onwards they concentrated hard on their mathematical studies. One amusing fact which the school records show is that Tamarkin was often late for school. In 1905 Tamarkin and Friedmann wrote a paper on Bernoulli numbers which they submitted to Hilbert for publication in Mathematische Annalen. The paper was accepted and appeared in print in 1906. The year 1905 was not only one of great scientific importance for Tamarkin, it was also one where he became extremely active politically. Both he and Friedmann were student leaders of strikes at the school in protest at the government's repressive measures against schools.
Tamarkin graduated from the Second Gymnasium in 1906 with a gold medal and entered the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of the University of St Petersburg in August of that year. Although he had been keen to become involved in political activity at school, this was much less evident at University as he had to increasingly concentrate on his studies. Valentina Doinikova, who was a friend of Friedmann, describes how Tamarkin, Friedmann and Smirnov went around together while undergraduates at St Petersburg University:-
Friedmann, Tamarkin and Smirnov often came together, and they were called 'the boys from the Second Gymnasium'. They were always smart and neatly dressed, and always called each other - in public - by their first name and patronymic.Tamarkin maintained his close friendship and academic collaboration with Friedmann and by 1908 the two were attending lectures by Steklov on partial differential equations. They made lecture notes, which Steklov checked, and then they had them printed. Tamarkin and Friedmann worked on another paper at this time and submitted Some formulas pertaining to the theory of the function [x] and Bernoulli numbers to Crelle's Journal. It was published in 1909. In April 1909 Steklov set Tamarkin a project. He wrote in his diary:-
I proposed to Tamarkin that he think about the asymptotic solution of differential equations (i.e. stability, in the sense of Poincaré and Lyapunov) or the problem of equilibrium of a rectangular plate.Tamarkin graduated in 1910 with the equivalent to a Master's degree, then remained at St Petersburg to prepare for the position of professor of mathematics. Steklov, wrote in a reference for Tamarkin in which he seeks financial support for both him and Friedmann to continue their studies:-
I must add that during the twenty years of my teaching career I have never met young people as gifted as these ... They should be retained for science's sake at any cost and should be given the opportunity to dedicate themselves to scientific work without distracting themselves by external pursuits.For his Magister degree, Tamarkin had to both take examinations and also to write a thesis. He took written examinations in 1912 and 1913. and then submitted his thesis in 1917 on boundary value problems for linear differential equations. N M Gunter and V A Steklov were appointed to examine the thesis. It was published in English in Mathematische Zeitschrift in 1928 as Some general problems of the theory of ordinary linear differential equations and expansion of an arbitrary function in series of fundamental functions. During the years in which he undertook research for his thesis he led a most varied life, full of music and a number of other activities in addition to his mathematics. For example, in 1912, he was a member of a government commission studying railway accidents. As well as teaching at the University, Tamarkin taught at two other institutions in St Petersburg, namely the Electro-Technical School and the School of Communications. It was during this time (in 1914) that St Petersburg changed its name to Petrograd.
In 1919 Tamarkin married Helen Weichart; they had one son. However these were extremely difficult times in Russia. The Revolution of October 1917 became inevitable when Alexander Kerensky, the prime minister, sent troops to close down two Bolshevik newspapers. Lenin, who had been in hiding, made a public appearance telling the Bolsheviks to overthrow the Government. On the morning of October 26, after hardly any bloodshed, Lenin proclaimed that the Soviets were in power. Soon after this the Russian nation was plunged into civil war. The Red Army was formed in February 1918 with Trotsky as its leader. The Reds opposed the White Army formed of anticommunists led by former imperial officers.
The University of Perm opened in 1916 as a branch of the University of St Petersburg but in 1917 became an independent institution. Perm suffered badly in fighting during 1919 being at times controlled by the Red army and at other times by the White Army. Friedmann and Besicovitch had worked there through the difficult times and in late 1919 Tamarkin went there too. Both Friedmann and Besicovitch returned to Petrograd (as St Petersburg was then called) but Tamarkin spent two years at Perm until 1922 both as professor and dean of the university. After this he returned to Petrograd, taking up teaching at the three institutions he had previously taught at, and adding a further teaching position at the Naval Academy. Hunter writes [4]:-
His research during this period continued on boundary value problems, but also included advances in mathematical physics, differential equations, and approximations. As an outgrowth of his teaching activities, he co-authored two mathematics textbooks for engineers.In 1925, feeling uneasy in the new political situation in Russia because he came from a well-off family, he decided to emigrate to the United States. He taught for two years as a visiting lecturer at Dartmouth College and immediately began publishing in the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society and in the Annals of Mathematics. Five papers were published in these journals in 1926 and 1927: On Laplace's integral equations; On Volterra's integro-functional equation; A new proof of Parseval's identity for trigonometric functions; On Fredholm's integral equations, whose kernels are analytic in a parameter; and The notion of the Green's function in the theory of integro-differential equations. In 1927 Tamarkin was appointed to Brown University where he remained for the rest of his career. Not only did Tamarkin publish in the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society and in the Annals of Mathematics but he also was an editor of these two journals; the first from 1927 to 1936, and the second from 1928 to 1939. When Mathematical Reviews began publishing in 1940 he became an editor of that publication. As a lecturer he was excellent, giving lectures which [3]:-
... were highly polished and represented up-to-date research.Tamarkin published a series of papers written jointly with Hille between 1932 and 1934. For example they published: On the summability of Fourier series (two papers), On a theorem of Hahn-Steinhaus, On a theorem of Paley and Wiener, On the theory of linear integral equations. He published a major text The Problem of Moments written jointly with J A Shohat in the American Mathematical Society Mathematical Surveys Series (1943). The problem of moments is the theory of an infinite system of integral equations under various hypotheses. The book was the first to give a unified and detailed presentation of the deeper theory of the moment problem.
An enthusiast for the American Mathematical Society, he served on its Council from 1931. He was appointed to its Colloquium Committee in 1937 and served the Society as vice-president in 1942-43. In 1945 when he was 56 years old, Tamarkin suffered a heart attack. He retired from his professorship at Brown University and although for a while he began to recover, he died later in 1945.

Norway wears its status as homeland of the Nobel Peace Prize proudly, which is why the decision by its prime minister not to meet with the Dalai Lama was so disappointing. The Norwegian leader, Erna Solberg, bowed to pressure from China and won't meet with the exiled Tibetan during his visit next month.
China, which invaded Tibet in the early 1950s, accuses the Dalai Lama of fomenting separatism, and has insisted that foreign governments cut off contact with him. For decades, though, most countries ignored those demands, and rightly so: All governments should listen to diverse points of view, and just because an official meets with a leader like the Dalai Lama shouldn't be taken as an endorsement.
Now, with China's rise as an economic power, more countries clearly feel that they can't afford to antagonize Beijing. Norway's strained ties with China, for instance, have reportedly hurt salmon exports. It's to the credit of the Obama administration that the United States has maintained the policy of previous presidents by meeting with the Dalai Lama, just as the president meets with opposition leaders from other countries.
Solberg's decision not to meet with the Dalai Lama will probably have little direct impact. But Norway's decision is sadly reflective of China's long efforts to reset the rules of the road in international affairs — at the expense of the values embodied by Norway's most famous prize.

USC Falls To Mississippi State 7-2 And Loses Series
STARKVILLE, MISS (USC SID) – Despite a pair of homers from senior first baseman LB Dantzler, the 12th ranked Gamecocks allowed a pair of unearned runs in the bottom of the 2nd and 16th ranked Mississippi State tacked on two more runs in the sixth and three in the eighth on the way to a 7-2 victory over South Carolina in the rubber game of a three-game SEC series. Mississippi State is now 40-16 and 16-14 in the SEC with South Carolina finishing the regular season 39-16 and 17-12 in league play. South Carolina will head to Hoover, Ala. for the 2013 SEC Tournament. The Gamecocks have earned the No. 4 seed and a first round bye. South Carolina will play in the final game of the day on Wednesday, May 22 against either the No. 5 seed Mississippi State or No. 12 seed Missouri. It is double elimination from Wednesday-Friday with Saturday and Sunday single elimination. Mississippi State reliever Ross Mitchell earned the win in relief and is now 10-0 on the year. He allowed one run on two hits in 4.2 innings with a walk and a strikeout. South Carolina starter Jack Wynkoop suffered the loss and is now 7-3 on the year. He allowed four runs, two earned, on seven hits with two walks and three strikeouts in 5.1 innings. LB Dantzler's team-leading 13th home run of the season gave South Carolina a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Dantzler drilled a 2-2 pitch from Lindgren over the right field wall. A pair of errors in the bottom half of the second inning led to two unearned runs for Mississippi State. After a one-out single put C.T. Bradford on base, he advanced into scoring position on Wynkoop's failed pickoff. Demarcus Henderson would drive in Bradford with a single up the middle. With two outs and Henderson second base, Derrick Armstrong knocked a short grounder to Schrock at second. The Gamecock second baseman would throw high to first though and Dantzler was unable to hold on to the throw. Henderson kept going on the play and scored from second to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead. They added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth. Brett Pirtle singled to lead off the sixth and CT Bradford singled with one outs to put runners on the corners. Pirtle would then score on a wild pitch by Wynkoop. A fielder's choice scored Bradford extending the Mississippi State lead to 4-1. Dantzler's second homer of the day came in the top of the eighth inning. The senior first baseman knocked a 0-2 pitch to right field for his 14th home run of the season to cut the lead to a pair of runs. MSU however responded with three runs in the bottom of the eighth for a 7-2 advantage. Henderson drove in his second run of the game with a RBI single, Ammirati drove in a run with a RBI double and Trey Porter added a sacrifice fly. Mississippi State had 11 hits to just seven for the Gamecocks. Henderson went 3-for-3 with two runs and two RBI. Bradford, Pirtle and Frazier had two hits apiece as well. Dantzler was 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI and Schrock went 2-for-3 to lead the Gamecocks at the plate.

This question comes up quite often. A report requires a user to be authenticated using their own network user name and password. Perhaps the data source performs row-level filtering for the user or the UserID global user object is used in a query or filter expression to return user-specific data. Whatever the case may be, how can you send scheduled subscriptions and filter the report for that user? This can be a challenge when scheduling a subscription for the report because a subscription requires that credentials be stored in the data source. This is not so much a limitation of Reporting Services as it is a logistical challenge. Why? ?because a subscription is designed to run unattended. The data source credentials must be stored so when the subscription fires in the middle of the night, the report and database query can run without the user logging in and sitting in front of their computer.
There are at least two possible solutions to this quandary . The first is to pass the UserID as a parameter and then filter the data in the query. The data source will still have to use a stored application credential but if user-specific filtering is the goal, this technique should meet the requirement. You can store each user?s UserID, along with any other report parameters and report execution settings (like the rendering format, etc.) in a table and then broadcast the report out to several users with a data-driven subscription.
The other approach is to use a scheduled subscription to email a link to the report, which will then run on-demand when the user clicks the emailed link. To do this:
- Deploy the report you want the user to run on-demand without stored credentials in the data source.
- Create a very simple, small report containing only a textbox to use as a link. Set a URL action on this textbox to open the other report, using the full path to the report on the server.
- Schedule a subscription for this small report and use the option to embed it into the email.
When the user receives the subscription email, they will just see a link, which as actually a report drill-through action that they will use to open the second report. Since that report doesn't use stored credentials, it will use their own credentials to authenticate.

Eli Lilly admits to more than $200 million dollars worth of doctor payoffs
by Willow Tohi
(NaturalNews) Prozac. Cialis. Cymbalta. If you have a television or read magazines, you've heard of their drugs. Eli Lilly, out of Indiana, makes billions of dollars every year off the sale of their patented chemicals, which are used to suppress the symptoms of disease in the human body. Founded by a chemist in the late 19th century; today the pharmaceutical giant has offices in 18 countries, and its products are sold in 125 countries, with revenues exceeding $20 billion annually.
Most of their arsenal is available in other countries for much less money than it is here in the United States, as is the case with most prescription medication. The reason, the pharmaceutical industry claims, is that the health care systems of other countries demands affordable medication, and they need somebody somewhere to foot the research bill, so they can get the next patents lined up before others expire, allowing generic versions of their drugs to become available on the market. That leaves us Americans, with our broken healthcare system, footing the bill of their continued financial success.
We're not only footing the bill, we have to deal with how the pharmaceutical machine warps the medical system. While historically a trade secret, it is standard operating procedure for pharmaceutical giants to pay doctors and other healthcare professionals to promote their drugs. Seducing doctors into becoming mouthpieces for a share of their bottom line is where it begins, but it ends up dictating your options.
A history of questionable ethics
Beginning in 2012, all drug and medical device companies will be required to report their promotional expenditure numbers to the federal government, but several companies started disclosing their information in 2009. According to the disclosed information, last year Eli Lilly paid out more than $200 million in payments to doctors and healthcare providers for promoting their drugs. ProPublica.org's Dollars for Docs database is tracking 11 other companies' disclosures as well.
The reason this information has been disclosed in Eli Lilly's case is because Eli Lilly was involved in a criminal settlement, and was ordered to disclose these payments, since 2009. They agreed to pay $1.4 billion to settle criminal and civil allegations of promoting drugs for unapproved uses. An official from the FDA testified in a court of law that Eli Lilly concealed the risks of its schizophrenia drug Zyprexa from U.S. officials, knowing the serious health risks it caused. They defrauded Medicare/Medicaid and blatantly put profit over the concern of the consumer.
The disclosure documents say the payments were for speaking, consulting, and research, as well as travel and meal reimbursement. You can look up the breakdown of the payments; how much was paid into your state, if your doctor was among those paid. The data provides insights into how firms adapt their strategies over time, even though complete analysis has proved challenging. So few companies report their data, and the data that is reported is inconsistent in both content and format. Its unclear exactly how much money is being spent where, and by whom. Needless to say, there will be more on this story in the future.
The transparency of the newly required disclosures has some companies reevaluating the current strategy. Most of the pharmaceutical giants have begun to reduce their promotional expenditures, since they started disclosing the figures. Most of them offer explanations such as, "normal year-to-year fluctuations." Experts predict physicians will begin backing away from these arrangements as well, as the increased scrutiny of the pharmaceutical sales practices also exposes their names and pay. Some doctors are raking in a quarter of a million dollars, but actually claim they "wouldn't want the appearance of being influenced by anything the company gave" them. Interesting choice of words, huh?

Here are the first live photos of the 2011 Acura TSX, which has shed some of its "controversial" Bucky the Beaver styling in favor of a slightly more subdued snout. Other than the nose job, it's still just newish.
This NYC Garage Takes Vanlife To The Next Level | Jalopnik Visits
The other changes include tweaks to the materials on the interior, including dark trim pieces and an updated parking brake handle. Our favorite bit from the press release? There are "new garnishes for the steering wheel." Delicious.
The 2011 TSX is not set to debut until later, and there are staged photos wandering around, but floor reporter Matt Helm (the other Matt) encouraged the crew to drop cover for him. Perhaps we should send him to do some work grabbing Booth Professional photos.

Greetings hikers!
Bighorn cabin is a private property (although left open as a storm shelter) located at about 10800 feet in the Gore Range Wilderness. A good moderate hike and definitely one of the least steep in the area it is great for those looking to head into the mountains and photograph wildflowers, see some wildlife, and enjoy the great outdoors. The trail used to be a part of an old wagon trail so be sure to look for signs on the sides of the trail to be a part of the old homesteaders travels. You will reach some rock fields, to be sure of the way make sure to look for cairns (rocks stacked up like a tower). Not far from the Antlers in Vail this is a great hike accessible to all. One thing to remember is that parking there is limited so going early or taking the bus is recommended. Also, for the aggressive hiker this is a good way to reach the Grand Traverse which is a long ridge at the height of 12000 ft designed for mountain bikers and expert hikers.
Here is a terrain map provided by Google showing the basic route up to the cabin and some other trail heads in the area.

Honda Brings the "Power of Dreams Experience" to Sundance Film Festival 2011
For the first time, Honda is creating a "Power of Dreams Experience" exhibit at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. The interactive venue will showcase unique Honda products highlighting innovation, environmental leadership and advanced technology. Festival attendees and local residents will have the opportunity to visit the "Honda Power of Dreams Experience" for six days, Fri., Jan. 21, through Wed., Jan. 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 268 Main Street, Park City, Utah. The venue is open to the public free of charge.
The "Honda Power of Dreams Experience" will feature live 10-minute demonstrations of the world's most advanced humanoid robot, ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility). Designed to someday assist people in their homes, ASIMO is the culmination of more than two decades of research and development by Honda engineers. ASIMO demonstrations will take place hourly starting at 10 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m.
Other Honda products on display inside Honda's Main Street location include the Honda FCX Clarity, the world's most advanced fuel cell electric vehicle; a cutaway of the Honda CR-Z Sport Hybrid, the first hybrid with a 6-speed manual transmission; a 12-foot scale model of the HondaJet, Honda's first advanced light business jet; and Honda motorcycle products, including a Honda Gold Wing with the industry's first motorcycle airbag, a Honda CBR250R entry-level motorcycle, a Honda PCX mid-size scooter and an interactive motorcycle rider safety and training simulator.
In the exhibit, Honda will also premiere "The Undying Dream," the eighth and newest film in its popular "DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE" Documentary Series. "The Undying Dream" features Big Wave professional surfer Laird Hamilton, along with motorcycle racers and Honda associates (employees) sharing stories about what happens when a dream takes hold of you and drives you to succeed. "The Undying Dream" was directed by Sundance Film Festival two-time Grand Jury Prize Winner, Ondi Timoner (Cool It, We Live in Public, Join Us, Dig!). The film will screen at the Honda Power of Dreams venue every hour on the half hour.
Honda has been a supporter of the Sundance Institute and an official sponsor of the Sundance Film Festival for three years. Honda is also the exclusive sponsor of Sundance Channel's "Interview" program at the Honda Power of Dreams Studio at the Sundance Film Festival. This program will feature talent from the 2011 Sundance Film Festival selections and will run on Sundance Channel, online and via Video on Demand.
In addition, Honda is sponsoring a Sundance Institute video vignette that highlights the work of the Sundance Institute Labs in supporting independent filmmaking. The vignette will premiere at an official Dramatic Competition film premiere during the opening weekend of Sundance and will rotate prior to every Dramatic Film screening at the Sundance Film Festival. The vignette also will run on Sundance Channel, online and via Video on Demand.

• smellfungus •
smel-fêng-gês • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A fault-finder, a disagreeable curmudgeon who finds fault in everything, who loves misery and sharing it with others.
Notes: The plural of this good if cranky word is smellfungi [smel-fun-jai]. It is still used by those familiar with the Sterne-Smollett debate over the relative merits of France and Italy (for which see below) and other discerning conversationalists. It is a lexical oddity you might find amusing and useful in view of the dearth of politically correct terms for such people these days.
In Play: Smellfungi are bitterly egotistical people addicted to themselves to the point of constant wretchedness: "That old smellfungus could find fault in the very saints!" By implication, such people become a misery to those who know them, "Farthingsworth is a smellfungus who finds enough misery in the world for himself and all his acquaintances."
Word History: This lexical oddity is fallout, believe it or not, from a dispute over the relative merits of France and Italy. Tobias Smollett's collection of letters entitled Travels through France and Italy (1766) is remarkable for its persistent criticism of those two countries. Laurence Sterne referred to Smollett as "the learned Smelfungus" in his more sympathetic appraisal of the region in 1767 entitled A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy. Apparently Sterne felt that Smollett could smell a fungus even where none existed, and hence created this funny word to the delight of others. The word has since picked up an additional L and found a snug niche for itself in the speech of discriminating logophiles.

As news breaks of LAMB OF GOD vocalist Randy Blythe's indictment on manslaughter charges in the Czech Republic in connection with the death of a concert goer, manager Larry Mazer responds with the following statement:
"After a three month investigation, the prosecutor in the Czech Republic has decided to move forward with an indictment of Randy Blythe on the charge of manslaughter with intent to cause bodily harm. Obviously, we intend to fight vigorously against these charges as we feel that in no way did Randy intend to cause bodily harm on the young fan who subsequently died from injuries sustained at the show. As he has stated previously, Randy intends to go to Prague to defend himself at trial.
"While it is a tragedy that a LAMB OF GOD fan died following a performance by the group, in no way do I feel that Randy did anything improper that led to the young man's injuries and subsequent death. The price of a ticket to a show does not entitle audience members access to a band's stage. In the years since the murder on stage of Dimebag Darrell Abbott, performers of all genres have had to become more guarded while performing in response to the dangers presented by fans trying to become part of the performance. We believe that Randy responded professionally to the numerous amount of fans rushing the stage that day, a number of them captured on videos that have been posted on the internet. We have testimony from the venue operator that acknowledges lax security and an improper barricade being used that evening. Numerous testimonies from fans also were contradictory as to the actions of the multiple fans that tried to access the stage.
"At this point, all that the band, myself, and our lawyers can do is to present a defense and try to convince the panel of judges who will hear the case that Randy is innocent of all charges and that his name and reputation need to be cleared and that he be permitted to carry on with his life and career always mindful that a fan passed away after a LAMB OF GOD performance."

I should be putting it outside but I will do that at the new place. For now it has to be put away. Should run it over the winter to make sure it still works OK? It does not really go anywhere until the spring. Hopefully this winter will be mild but there will be storms and it is a bit of a thrill to see how strong the wind got the night before, for example. I have a great tall post to mount it on which is mostly in the clear. It is in the house's shadow but the wind almost never blows from that direction (usually from the NW here).
This was a very nice DIY project for me with wonderful instructions, software and personal help from Derek via email. His webpage isn't live any more but Chris' site has a very thorough review of Derek's device.
As I write this, I am having trouble getting the anemometer to talk to the computer thru COM1 via the RS232/USB adapter. When I spin the cups, the LEDs on the display track the movement so I can see it is responding correctly but I can't read it from the computer. It only "speaks" RS232 so I need to remember how to do that. I dropped the speed to 1200bps but that does not get it going. Update 10/27: I have it working now with a straight through RS232 cable. Not sure why the RS232/USB adapter does not like it.
I was a bit skeptical of my ability to make the cups out of ping-pong balls as Derek described but I got very respectable results by simply being careful with a very sharp blade. I did a couple trial runs to get a bit of practice. The ping-pong balls were inexpensive and available anywhere thus illustrating an important principle of DIY projects - that the materials should be readily available anywhere and cheap to obtain.
Derek had a great small kit of the circuit board and some of the special parts like the machined spindle and the disk but I am assuming that is no longer available. Derek had explained on his website when you could see it that he had sold the rights to the design to a business and that there were a limited number of the kits available.
Derek, if you are sailing out there somewhere and want to say hello, please write to me! This was a great project - thank you. Nicely done.

Buy an Axon, Axon II, or Axon Mote and build a great robot, while helping to support SoR.

You need an oscilloscope to view the waveform of the IR emitter circuit. Look for a Radio Shake ProbeScope - http://www.linuxtoys.org/pscope/pscope.htmlor do a web search on serial port / USB oscilloscopes. If you are building your own circuits, you won't use an oscilloscope too often, but when you need it, there is no better tool for sorting out waveform problems.
You can sometimes find the ProbeScope on eBay for around $70. Also, there seems to be a US distributor for the product, which is actually called osziFOX - http://www.biotechproducts.com/wittig-oszifox.htmlAccording to what I've seen, this scope can sample up to 2MHz.I have a Velleman HPS40 scope that cost about $200. It is not the great scope, but it has paid for itself in troubleshooting some problems, including some 38kHz IR circuits.
What IR receiver are you using ?
Well ... if the IR receiver is indicating a received signal from your TV remote, it probably is working fine. The remote sends out a bit pattern by turning on and off a 38kHz IR transmitter, so the receiver will show a HIGH output when it is receiving the 38kHz signal, and LOW when it isn't. The filtering on the receiver isn't that tight, so a 36kHz signal or 40kHz signal will still trigger a HIGH. From your description, it seems that your transmitter isn't producing anywhere close to 38kHz.

Super Seeds
Want more stamina? Try chia, a gluten-free seed rich in omega-3s and fiber
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
1 Tbs. of chia (about 12 grams) contains approximately:
- 2.1 g ALA
- 4 g fiber
- 2 g protein
- 58 calories
Chia seeds have been called the world's healthiest whole food for good reason. "Chia contains the highest amount of omega-3 fatty acids of any plant known, and also contains significant amounts of protein, fiber, and antioxidants," says Wayne Coates, PhD, professor emeritus at the University of Arizona, chia researcher, and author of Chia: The Complete Guide to the Ultimate Superfood.
"Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber have been shown to have positive health benefits in terms of heart health and diabetes," he says, "And omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants have also been shown to help reduce inflammation and boost immunity." Plus, chia is gluten-free.
Tiny Seed, Big Benefits
In one study of type 2 diabetics at the University of Toronto, people who received 37 grams of chia daily for 12 weeks experienced decreases in blood pressure, inflammation, and blood sugar that were significant enough to lower their risk for heart disease. The same researchers also found that in healthy people, 15-24 grams of daily chia reduced blood sugar levels and appetite for up to two hours after a meal.
A study of long-distance runners that was published in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research, found that a half-serving of a sugary sports drink with added chia was a healthier fuel than a full serving of the sports drink alone. For more chia research, visit azchia.com.
Omega-3 Fats
One tablespoon of chia contains a good day's worth of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the plant-based form of omega-3 fats. The Institute of Medicine recommends 1.6 grams daily of ALA for men and 1.1 grams for women, and integrative physicians often recommend around 2-3 grams daily. One tablespoon of chia seeds typically contains more than 2 grams.
It's also worth noting that higher levels of ALA are not toxic, and may be beneficial, especially for those with arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and other inflammatory conditions.
How to Eat Chia
Unlike flax seeds, whole chia seeds are easily digested and most people find they have no distinct taste. Eat whole seeds as a snack, mix them in nut butters, sprinkle them on salads, sandwiches, yogurt or other food, or mix them in juices or smoothies. Chia seeds absorb approximately nine times their weight in water, help control appetite, and boost energy without stimulants. If you prefer less crunch, use ground or milled chia seeds, also called chia meal.

Who needs more GOP primaries? Although the campaign to select a Republican nominee has just started a quiet period, there will be more than enough political excitement this weekend in Washington, D.C. at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC. If you're giddy about the presidential race, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich will speak; if you're interested in conservative ideas, Paul Ryan will be giving the keynote address; if you're eager to meet C-list celebrities, Stephen Baldwin and Chuck Woolery will both be speaking; and if you're just looking for love, there will be a conservative dating event as well. And, if you're a political reporter looking for another delegate-free presidential vote to cover after Tuesday night, there will be a presidential straw poll as well.
CPAC is a nearly 40-year-old event held by the American Conservative Union annually, and has been likened to a "Mardi Gras for the Right." According to Alyssa Farah, the communications director of the College Republican National Committee who has attended the conference every year since she was a freshman at Patrick Henry College, "its giant strategy session meets party." By day, it's a frantic political networking event, with attendees "going in and out of different speakers and trying to brush elbows." By night, it becomes "a much more informal atmosphere" with "cocktail receptions," culminating in the Reaganpalooza party on the last night of the conference, held at the Teatro Goldoni, a pricy Italian restaurant on K Street.
The event in recent years also been has been punctuated with controversy over the participation of a GLBT Republican group, GOProud. Its participation in the past sparked controversy, as other social-conservative organizations like the Family Research Council and the Concerned Women of America boycotted in protest. This year, however, GOProud was dropped as a co-sponsor. (Although to balance things out, CPAC excluded the John Birch Society as well). According to GOProud Executive Director Jimmy LaSalvia, "this was the best thing that ever happened" to the organization, which advocates for "gay conservatives and their allies." He said "all the folks that ranted and raved did nothing but good stuff [and] raise[d] our credibility, membership and budget."
But while the fireworks over the participation of GOProud are now relegated to the past, the rise of Occupy Wall Street has raised the potential for new conflict. Occupy DC has announced that it will "Occupy CPAC" to protest what it terms "a gathering of bigots, media mouthpieces, corrupt politicians, and their 1 percent elite puppet masters." The presence of Occupiers should not create any internal conflict among conference attendees, but it does create a significant potential for protests and unrest around the conference, which is being held at a Washington, D.C. hotel. But whatever media frenzy the occupiers may create will pale compared with the infinitely more polarizing and headline-grabbing force of Sarah Palin, who will be present.
Palin, who has never before appeared at CPAC, will be speaking before thousands of active movement conservatives, and the national political media, in the midst of a contentious GOP presidential primary. Although she has yet to endorse a candidate, the 2008 vice presidential nominee has frequently spoken highly of Newt Gingrich. Her husband, Todd, has even endorsed the former House speaker. Given Rick Santorum's big night last Tuesday, an endorsement of Gingrich would be a huge boost for a campaign that has struggled since losing the winner-take-all primary in Florida at the end of January. Whether Palin explicitly endorses Gingrich or not, her speech is sure to be pored over by the national media, practicing a kind of Kremlinology, Wasilla-style, to get hints of her views on the race.
The most important moment for those looking for portents of what's to come in the GOP primary contest is the annual presidential straw poll held on the last day of the conference. Although Ron Paul has won this popularity contest the past two years by "stacking the deck" according to chief Santorum strategist John Brabender, the straw pool looms as having some significance, since as it is being held at the beginning of the February hiatus in the GOP primary race. Further, Paul is at a comparative disadvantage this year because he won't be at CPAC, unlike his three main competitors—instead, he will be campaigning in Maine, in what Brabender terms "a real race." The CPAC straw poll isn't as critical as, say, a nonbinding primary in Missouri, but it still will be viewed as an indicator of the candidates' relative popularity in the conservative movement. Plus, it's the only election that's also the pregame party for Reaganpalooza.

How do scientists know what an atom looks like, to make a model of one?How do they know that each molecule in the scientific charts has specificprotons, neutrons, and in what orders if an atom cannot be seen? How canyou prove this?
There is no simple answer to your questions. There is no "atomic microscope" which would allow one to look inside an atom and say, "Aha! There's 7 blue protons, 6 green neutrons, and 7 red electrons." The way the structure of the atom was devised was through a long series of experiments. Each one was designed to look at a specific aspect of the atom. At one time the atom was thought to be a solid ball of positive charge with electrons embedded in it. Then in 1909, Ernest Rutherford did an experiment which demonstrated that that picture was wrong and that the positive charge was centered at the center of the atom and occupied a very small volume compared to the whole atom.
Before the neutron was discovered in 1932, the nucleus was thought to have both protons and electrons in it. The number of protons was chosen to get the correct atomic weight and the number of electrons was chosen to get the correct nuclear charge. It turned out that this model did not give predictions that agreed with experiment. The discovery of the neutron lead to a revision of the model leading to the current one.
In the current model, the number of electrons in the atom is determined by
gamma and x-ray spectroscopy. The number of protons in the atom is chosen
to balance the charge of the electrons in the atom. The number of neutrons
in the atom is chosen to give the correct atomic weight for the element in
question. Many additional experiments were performed to confirm the model
as finally developed and so far the results obtained are as one would
expect from the model. This agreement between the experimental results and
the predictions based on the model is what is called proof.

Sprinters have long been squeezing their muscular frames into the most eye-wateringly skimpy, tight and revealing costumes imaginable.
But one female athlete at this year's Olympics is bucking the trend for bulging lycra and naked torsos.
In 2004, Bahrain's Ruqaya Al Ghasara, a devout Muslim, was the first athlete to ever take part in an Olympics wearing a hijab.
Today, Al Ghasara won her heat of the women's 200m sprint at the Bird's Nest stadium – despite being clothed head to foot.
Al Ghasara finished first followed by France's Muriel Hurtis-Houairi and Sri Lanka's Susanthika Jayasinghe.
Admittedly, Al Ghasara 's hijab is a rather sportier version of the traditional dress.
Clinging to her body as she powers down the track the hijab completely covers her head, arms and legs.
Known as a Hijood – or hijab combined with a sports hood – the costume was specially designed for Al Ghasara by an Australian sports clothing company.
It allows Muslim athletes to compete while still adhering to the strict modesty required of their faith.
Al Ghasara, who was the Bahrain flag-bearer at last week's opening ceremony, jas said the Hijood has improved her performance.
'It's great to finally have a high performance outfit that allows me to combine my need for modesty with a design made from breathable, moisture-controlled fabric," she said.
'It's definitely helped me to improve my times being able to wear something so comfortable and I'm sure it will help me to give my best performance at Beijing.
'I hope that my wearing the hijood sports top will inspire other women to see that modesty or religious beliefs don't have to be a barrier to participating in competitive sports.'
In 2004 Al Ghasara defied objections from fundamentalists in her village to take part in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, running in the 100 metres.
And in 2006 she won the women's 200m final at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, making her the first Bahraini-born athlete to win a major international athletics gold medal.

Describing her work as her "true calling", Rima's first break into the world of wedding photography came with a little help from her friends…:
"After finishing my BA in Graphic Design I thought the corporate path would be for me. Taking a year off after graduating, I then found it difficult to find a job. I had the skills but no experience, so I thought I'd create a job for myself! To cut a very long story short, I had a friend who was getting married and randomly asked 'Will you do my wedding pictures for me?'"
From this simple starting point, work started to snowball and Occasion Photography was born. Setting up your own business is something Rima recommends for anyone with a clear idea of what they want to do and why:
"The motivation came because of the positive responses I received from clients, family and friends. I'm extremely passionate about what I do and it was humbling to find people will gravitate to that. If you have a passion for something, go for it… It's always a buzz when I get a booking! I love meeting new people and capturing them at their best. After a 10-hour shoot, I get back home still excited about the fantastic images I've captured, so I have to upload them onto my laptop straight away."
Like many freelancers, Rima would love her own studio but works from home because it makes financial and practical sense. Working alone, networking with other like-minded professionals plays an important role in inspiring her; helping her keep in touch with fellow freelancers, expand her business and contacts, whilst also keeping her up-to-date with wider developments:
"I'm a one woman band! I've networked with lots of other brilliant photographers and when the situation arises I may second shoot for them or vice versa… Last year I attended The Enterprise Show; this was a great resource as it put me into contact with lots of professionals who've given me a great deal of help and advice. Outside of wedding photography, I really enjoy shooting models for fashion magazines and editorials. I find that I'm incorporating the fashion elements more and more with my brides. My inspiration comes from a mix of fashion magazine spreads, talented photographers and business entrepreneurs, all of which motivates me to push my boundaries."
When it comes to promoting her business, Rima recommends the personal approach:
"Without doubt, word of mouth referrals have been the best way to generate new clients. I quickly learned that having a glossy magazine ad was never going to bring in the enquires. I've realised in my line of business people want to hire 'you' - they're not just hiring a stranger but someone that can make them feel at ease. Having my blog up there for the world to see has been great for people to get a sense of who I am and what I'm about."
Referring to them as her "pocket portfolio", Rima's Business Cards work alongside her approach to self-promotion. Being able to choose a number of different images means that the rich fabric and diversity of Rima's work is fully showcased in an accessible way. And, because it's so easy to do, she adds new images every time she orders a new batch, so her cards are always current. They do have one downside, however … she likes them so much she wants to keep them!
"I found MOO cards incredibly unique. I was struggling to narrow it down to just one image to put on my business cards – MOO made it easy, I could use as many images as I like. I now have a pocket portfolio wherever I go. My one problem is that I hate giving them away! I get such an amazing reaction when I show them to people, as each card is different they always want more than one. Every time I order a new batch I just add more new images on the front of the cards. That way my business cards are always current."
Occasion Photography also received an unexpected boost when a MOO client decided to use one of Rima's photographs on her thank you cards after her wedding. Rima describes this as a "great way of reaching out to potential clients".
With the option of a different image on every card, Rima offers truly personal cards to the bride and groom using not just one shot, but many different images of the day. Add a small url to the reverse of each card, and admirers can find out more about the person behind the camera.
From making memories to making plans for the future, Rima - like most newlywed couples - reminds us that she's "just getting started" so keep an eye on her blog to see where life takes her next.
Thanks for letting us zoom in on your work, Rima!

If you're experiencing stress and tension in your life, especially when you are at home, your house itself could be the problem.
Elizabeth Bienz, a clinical social worker in Greenfield, MA, shares some of her insights. "Clutter and is often the number one cause of stress in a home. It's a constant reminder of things that need to be taken care of," she said.
Bienz added that the level of cleanliness can certainly be a stress factor. "It's one thing to have a little clutter and mess. That's just living. But if you have dog hair billowing in the corners or you have to create pathways through the living room to walk, that just adds to stress in the home," she said.
Bienz said that when she has visited people whose homes have dark, heavy drapes, a strong smell of cigarette smoke and excessive clutter, she "found those homes to be very oppressive."
Stress over structural problems
One structural problem that Bienz experienced personally involved having a very wet basement. Bienz, who is also recently purchased a new home, said that she was amazed at the level of stress she experienced in her previous home. "A lot of my belongings that were stored in the basement got moldy. I was surprised how relieved I was when we moved. I didn't realize at the time how much it (the wet basement) stressed me out," said Bienz.
Bienz said that another aspect of stress relating to a house's structure might have to do with large or expensive projects such as putting on a new roof. "It can be a challenge to prioritize, especially when you realize you may have to look as far ahead as five years. This can be the cause of a lot of stress and worry," said Bienz. "If you are dealing with the aspect of keeping the elements from coming in your house, the sheer priority of needing to deal with that is stressful," she added.
A personal and soothing décor
Bienz, who is also recently married, said that she and her husband have different interests. Bienz recommends having spaces in the home that reflect and accommodate personal interests. "I'm a reader and he's a drummer, so we have places for each of us to have our books or drums," she said. Bienz said it also reduces stress to have items that are important to you easily accessible.
Bienz added that she and her husband discussed ahead of time how they would blend their belongings before they moved in together. They selected colors they both found soothing to repaint the rooms after they moved in. The couple decided on various earth tones such as charcoal grey and cream colors. "These are the colors that are relaxing to us. It's great to come home and feel like the space is really yours," she said.
Bienz said that even if you have a very small home, it can be very stressful if family members have no access to privacy. For some, who have larger homes, this may mean rooms that are dedicated to certain uses such as exercise, music, "man-caves," etc. If your family is large and the house is small, Bienz suggests setting up a space in the home somewhere that can afford privacy, even if family members have to take turns. "If possible, it really helps to reduce stress in a house if each person has a place they feel is theirs, especially if they can personalize the décor," said Bienz. "Even if it's just a bureau or chair that's yours, it helps people to have a sense of security," she said.
Lastly, Bienz said that stress in a house can relate to how much open space there is. Some people need lots of open space to feel comfortable, but some feel safer/less stressed in a cozier atmosphere surrounded by items that bring comfort.

(visited by Yip-Bannicq Group, Emang Letlhare, Mark Stirling, Kiniki Stirling, Sasara George and Ray Yip)
11-May-2013 -- A wet and wild point in Okavango Delta
This hunt is the highlight of our safari trip to the Okavango Delta. Half the line-hunting party came from Melbourne and half from Beijing, and we converged at the Vumbura Plains Camp at northern reach of this amazing inland Delta.
Okavango - The unique inland Delta
Okavango is a vast wetland in the middle of one of the largest deserts in the world – Kalahari, the only major delta in the world which is not by the ocean. In essence, the delta is the dead end of a very large river originating in northern Angola. The resulting delta is a magnet for wildlife during the dry season. It is one of the top places for safari in Africa. Thanks to Sasara's daughter who works for the Wilderness Safari, we had three amazing days at terrific camps at the edge of the Delta – Vumbura Plains and Little Vumbura. May is the start of dry season with animals starting to migrate toward the Delta from surrounding hills. It is also when the water table of the Delta is starting to raise when the rainy season water from Angola from 3-4 months back is reaching northern Botswana.
The best safari ever
After two great days of safari by Land Rover and by boat to view animals, the idea of going for this point came upon when Ray found a high resolution topo map at the entrance of the Vumbura Plains lodge which indicated this point is located near the edge of a small peninsula about 13 km west to the lodge. Without internet at the lodge, it was not possible to verify if this point is on land or in the Delta. It just so happened that the Lodge Manager, Roger, knew about the little peninsula where the point is at. There was a lodge there before and he was the one who built it and later took it down. This means there is a road can reach there.
Further consulting with our safari guide, Emang, about going to where the old lodge location was, and introducing the concept of hunting for a confluence point, he was totally gained for the adventure. We departed from the lodge early in the morning, and the track towards the confluence point was a very sandy and often submerged. We actually saw more animals than at the standard safari route, including several herds of elephants and hundreds of wild buffalos converging at one pond. When we reached within 2 km from the confluence point, we failed to find the road leading to the peninsula, so Emang blazed an one kilometer trail through the bush and eventually connected with the old road. This bush whacking effort fully demonstrated the prowess of the Land Rover and his off-road skill. Just a little over a thousand meters before the point, the dirt road was washed out by a 20 meter wide creek, and Emang skillfully drove across this water way and brought us to the end of the peninsula, but we were 240 meters short of the confluence point. Now we knew it is a wet point in the Okavango Delta.
We could see that the confluence point is located in shallow and weedy water about halfway to an island nearby. There are several clear hippo tracks so reaching it will not be difficult. Except there is one major catch, we have been warned upon arriving at the Delta not to set foot in the water because crocodiles are abundant and they are not very forgiving creatures. Because of the dense grass which is less likely to be inhabited by crocodiles, the fearless half of our group - Emang, Mark, and Ray - ventured into the water and followed a hippo track and reached the confluence in 10 minutes. The crocodile-adverse part of the group - Sasara and Kiniki - stayed on the shore and prepared to bear witness in case of crocs attack.
Needless to say, it was a very exiting moment to reach this point. The fact that there is a chance of croc encounter made the water part of the journey exhilarating. While we were wading to the point, we saw gazelles running fast in nearby water ways and an elephant in the distance. Clearly, Emang is a nature confluence hunter – adventurous and focused, not deterred by obstacles. His persistence and skill made this hunt successful and we all had the most memorable safari ever, including for those who did not venture into the water.

Kitchen Cabinets: 9 Easy RepairsUpdated: Jun. 02, 2023
Are you bugged by kitchen cabinets that don't work quite right? Broken latches, loose door hinges, sticking drawers—are they driving you bonkers? Read on for easy kitchen cabinet fixes to these and other common problems.
You might also like: TBD
Adjust hinges on misaligned doors
Adjust depth and side screws
Euro hinges are designed for easy adjustment. If the door isn't flush with the doors next to it, adjust the depth screw. This screw moves the door in or out. Some depth screws move the door as you turn them. But with most, you have to loosen the screw, nudge the door in or out and then tighten the screw. If your hinges don't have depth screws, start with the side screws. These move the door from side to side. In some cases, you have to loosen the depth screw slightly to adjust the side screw.
Perfect one door before adjusting the second
If the door is flush and parallel with other doors but too high or low, use the mounting screws to raise or lower the mounting plates. Loosen the screws at both hinges, slide the door up or down and tighten the screws. Some mounting plates adjust by turning a single screw. Check the fit of the door after each adjustment. With double doors like these, perfect the fit of one door first, then align the other door.
Adjust or replace bad latches
Replace and adjust the catch
Most newer cabinets have self-closing hinges that hold the doors shut. Others have magnetic or roller catches. A catch that no longer keeps a door closed is either broken or out of adjustment. Catches are fastened with two screws, so replacing a damaged catch is simple. Adjustment is just as simple, but you might have to readjust the catch a couple of times before you get it right. Loosen the screws, move the catch in or out, and tighten the screws. If the door doesn't close tightly, try again.
Add bumpers to banging doors
Place bumpers at top and lower corners
Tired of listening to those cabinet doors bang shut? Peel-and-stick door and drawer bumpers are the solution. Get a pack of 20 at a home center for $2. Make sure the back of the door is clean so the bumpers will stick, then place one at the top corner and another at the bottom.
How to Fix Drawer Slides: Replace worn-out drawer slides
How to Fix a Drawer: Replace with identical slides
If you find that slides are bent, rollers are broken or rollers won't turn even after lubricating, replacement is the best solution. To keep the project simple, buy new slides that are identical (or almost identical) to the old ones. That way, replacement is an easy matter of unscrewing the old and screwing on the new. Remove a drawer track and a cabinet track and take them shopping with you. You'll find slides at home centers for $5 to $15 per drawer.
How to Fix a Drawer: Lubricate sticking drawers
How to Fix Drawer Slides: Spray lubricant on tracks and rollers
A few minutes of cleaning and lubricating can make drawer slides glide almost like new. Start by removing the drawers so you can inspect the slides. You can remove most drawers by pulling them all the way out, then either lifting or lowering the front of the drawer until the wheels come out of the track. Wipe the tracks clean and coat them with a light spray lubricant. Also lubricate the rollers and make sure they spin easily.
How to Fix a Drawer: Repair a broken drawer box
How to Fix a Drawer: Remove fasteners and old glue
Don't put up with a broken corner joint on a drawer. Fix it before the whole drawer comes apart. Remove the drawer and then remove the drawer front from the drawer box if possible. Most fronts are fastened by a couple of screws inside the box. Remove nails, staples or screws from the loose joint and scrape away old glue with a utility knife.
Predrill nails holes and glue the joint
Predrill 1/16-in. holes for nails, apply wood glue to the joint and nail it together with 1-1/2 in. finish nails. Wood glue will make a strong repair if there's wood-to-wood contact at the joint. If the wood at the joint is coated, use epoxy instead of wood glue.
Glue loose knobs
Glue knobs in place
Any handle or knob that comes loose once is likely to come loose again. Put a permanent stop to this problem with a tiny drop of thread adhesive like Thread Lok (about $3 at home centers). Don't worry; if you want to replace your hardware sometime in the future, the knobs will still come off with a screwdriver.
Two ways to fill stripped screw holes
Fill holes with toothpicks and glue
If a screw turns but doesn't tighten, the screw hole is stripped. Here's a quick remedy: Remove the screw and hardware. Dip toothpicks in glue, jam as many as you can into the hole and break them off. Either flat or round toothpicks will work. Immediately wipe away glue drips with a damp cloth. You don't have to wait for the glue to dry or drill new screw holes; just go ahead and reinstall the hardware by driving screws right into the toothpicks.
Repair a cabinet hinge screw hole with a plug
Cabinets made from particleboard work great in utility and laundry rooms, and they're fairly inexpensive. But particleboard has a major weakness—it doesn't hold screw threads very well. So if you swing the door open too fast, the force can rip the hinge screw right out of the cabinet wall. Don't worry; the fix is easy and cheap. Here's how to patch things up. You'll need a bottle of wood glue, a 1/2-in. drill bit and a package of 1/2-in.-diameter hardwood plugs (sold at home centers).
Start by removing the hinge screws on the cabinet and flipping the hinge out of your way. If the accident pulled out a large chunk of the particleboard, glue it back into place and let the glue set up before proceeding with the rest of the repair. Drill out the stripped screw hole to accept the plug. Next, fill the hole with wood glue and install the plug. After the glue dries, drill a pilot hole and install the new screw—you're all set.
Touch up nicks and scratches
Use a stain-filled touch-up marker
If you have shallow scratches or nicks, hide them with a stain-filled touch-up marker. Dab on the stain and wipe off the excess with a rag. But beware: Scratches can absorb lots of stain and turn darker than the surrounding finish. So start with a marker that's lighter than your cabinet finish and then switch to a darker shade if needed. For deeper scratches, use a filler pencil, which fills and colors the scratch.
