Grilled Swordfish With Tomato Succotash by Mary Ann Esposito
Credit: Unknown
Memorial Day is coming and that means bringing out the grill for the season. Wild swordfish was in the market so I decided to grill it and serve it with a tarragon butter sauce laid over a bed of tomato succotash made with cocktail tomatoes grown by my friends at Backyard Farms in Madison, Maine. I had some corn I had shucked and frozen from last summer in the freezer and some edamame which I love. The dish turned out more than delicious so here is the"recipe" that I used. I use that term loosely since I just threw things together from what I had on hand. I think the photo speaks for itself.
Grilled Swordfish with Tomato Succotash
Serves 4
4 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 c. corn, fresh or frozen
1 c. edamame, fresh or frozen
6 large cocktail size tomatoes cut into quarters
1/2 c. dry white wine
Coarse sea salt and grinding black pepper to taste
4 T. fresh minced tarragon
4 swordfish steaks
6 T. butter
Heat the oil in a medium size pot and add the onion, cooking it until it softens. Stir in the corn, edamame and tomatoes and cook a couple of minutes. Raise heat to high and stir in the wine; allow most of it to evaporate. Season with salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons tarragon. Keep warm.
Grill fish to your liking; have ready 6 tablespoons melted butter infused with the remaining 2 tablespoons tarragon.
When ready to serve, make a puddle of the succotash in the center of a dinner plate. Top with a swordfish steak and drizzle a little of the melted butter over the top.

STX Canada Marine in Vancouver, Canada, provided the design, based on two earlier vessels built at Eastern for Aries Marine. With the addition of several enhancements, these vessels have stepped up the technology level with capability for world-wide operations. The integrated pilothouse is arranged for increased visibility and features the latest technology in navigation and communication equipment. All three (3) vessels are ABS classed, A1, AMS, ACCU, Circle E, Enviro +, Offshore Support Vessel and certified under SOLAS. ABS class is to include DPS-2 notation and FIFI 1.
The Sisuag immediately started a long-term contract in Alaska. Several upgrades to specific systems were accomplished to facilitate operations in Alaskan's cold weather conditions, including heating enhancements, window heaters, added steel plating to the hull for operation in ice conditions, and hardened electronics for harsh weather operations, including temperatures down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit.
Harvey Gulf has also ordered a 302-foot construction vessel-offshore supply vessel from Eastern, the Harvey Deep Sea, which will be ABS-classed, similar to the SISAUQ, but with FIFI 2. It will be equipped with an active heave-compensated 165-ton knuckle boom crane, capable of lifting or setting 100 tons at depths up to 10,000 feet. The Harvey Deep Sea is scheduled for delivery in May, 2013.

Mc Bain Building 1 The Bund Shanghai is a historical eight-storey building on the Bund in Shanghai, China.The building was built in 1916 as McBain Building on the corner of the Bund (currently 1 East-1 Zhongshan Road) and Avenue Edward VII (today's East Yan'an Road), a location known as No.1 on the Bund, near the former French Concession. It stands on a site of 1739 square metres and has a floor area of 11,723 square metres.I t was the tallest and one of the largest buildings in Shanghai upon its completion. This fact, adding to its precious location earned it a widespread nickname 'Number One Building on the Bund' (外滩第一楼). The building was designed by Moorhead&Halse, a famous architectural firm in Shanghai back then and built by contractor Yu Chang Tai. Initially the building was seven stories tall, an extra storey was added atop in 1939.
The lot of the building originally belonged two British brothers James and Hayes Hogg, whose trading company Hogg Brothers opened in Shanghai in 1861. In 1899 the brothers decided to close their business in Shanghai and return to Britain. They sold the property to British merchant George McBain, whose company constructed this current building after demolishing an original house on the site.
In 1917, one year after its completion the Royal Dutch Shell's Asiatic Petroleum division, which sold kerosene and candles used for lighting before electric lights were invented, bought in much of the building and renamed it the Asia Building.During the Japanese occupation of Shanghai the building was taken over by the Japanese and most of the staff, mainly British, fled Shanghai and relocated in Chongqing. The majority of them returned to Shanghai and continued working in the building after the occupation while the company's profits soared to unprecedented levels. After the People's Republic of China was established, some branches of the company in China closed down, only some 50 employees remained in Shanghai.

GAMERS have not been impressed with the new Xbox One, with 75 per cent saying they thought the launch was 'disappointing'.
Microsoft's new gaming console was launched amidst huge fanfare earlier this week.
But when gaming website IGN polled 76,000 people, nearly half (47 per cent) said they weren't interested in the product, as there were too many elements they weren't interested in.
Nearly a third of people (29 per cent) went further, saying the product was nothing short of a disaster.
Only six per cent of those surveyed thought the launch was 'fantastic', while 17 per cent thought it was 'solid'.
It will be interesting to see what the reaction is after the E3 gaming conference - maybe Microsoft decided to save all their big gaming guns for that.

Tutorial: Fishes – Masking
Both natural (e.g., snapping shrimp) and anthropogenic(e.g., shipping noise) sound sources can increase the level of background or ambient noise in the environment. Masking occurs when noise interferes with a marine animal's ability to hear a sound of interest. The significance of the masking effect is influenced by the amount of time that the noise is present and its level. Just as it can be difficult to hear someone talking at a loud party, elevated noise levels may mask important sounds for marine animals. This is of particular concern to marine fishes when the noise is at frequencies similar to those of biologically important signals, such as mating calls (for more information on frequency ranges of underwater sounds, please see What are common underwater sounds?). Low frequency anthropogenic noise below 1 kHz overlaps with the hearing range and sounds produced by most fish species and may cause masking.
Many fish species produce sounds (for more information see How do fish produce sounds?). For example, fishes may vocalize during spawning aggregations and courtship interactions. Problems with detection and recognition due to the presence of anthropogenic noise could therefore have impacts on reproductive success . Masking could lead to a reduction in detection distance, the distance at which a biologically significant signal is detected, or signals may be detected, but important information in the signals may get lost. In the presence of ferryboat noise, hearing of the Lusitanian toadfish, a coastal, bottom-dwelling fish, was masked at multiple frequencies . Ship noise also appeared to interfere with the fish being able to acoustically detect other members of their species. Nesting males produce characteristic boatwhistle calls to attract females for mating. The ability of females to detect nesting males may therefore be restricted in the presence of shipping noise.
The life history of most coral reef fishes includes a pelagic larval stage that undergoes metamorphosis to the juvenile stage. Late stage larvae and transforming juveniles need to seek out suitable reef habitats. There is evidence that underwater reef sounds can be detected by the coral reef fish (and invertebrate) larvae guiding them to coastal areas and allowing them to identify suitable settlement habitats. If anthropogenic sounds on coral reefs mask natural sounds, and if larval fishes use acoustic cues to find suitable reef habitats, then coral reef fish populations may be negatively impacted. More research is needed on the hearing abilities of early life history stages of fishes and the physical and special characteristics of natural reef sounds to which fish may be attracted.

What an incredible month this has been for Lynn and I. We have our baby coming in December and we are beside ourselves with enthusiastic readiness and gratitude. During this process, I noticed that men don't really have much in the way of a "Rite of Passage" in our culture to prepare them for fatherhood. So, I decided to create my own rituals to usher in powerful fatherhood energy for my family and myself. Hint – if you want something, and you don't see it, CREATE IT YOURSELF.
First ritual: I decided to spend a long weekend with one of my greatest mentors, Donny Epstein, the developer of Network Spinal Analysis and Somato Respiratory Integration. Here is a guy who has completely defied the odds again and again and again in so many ways. He has stepped up again and again with massive energy, incredible creativity, and a vast vision. Not only do I think his work is simply unmatched in its abilty to create true healing and help people to make massive breakthroughs in ways never before possible, as a person Donny is an incredible model of what it is like to live with OUTSTANDING standards. He blows excellent out of the water. That is who I like to spend my time with. I got the gift to get a bunch of entrainments from the guy who created them! All I can say is that it was one of the watershed weekends of my life. If you were in the office in the last 2 weeks, you can feel the difference. I will never be able to describe my experiences on a blog – what I can say is that I experienced just about everything my soul could have desired to experience and know in my lifetime. Yes, it was that profound. I am forever grateful.
I came home, nuzzled up with Lynn, and we rocked out awesome work at Network Wellness Center of Charlotte. I prepared to go for my Second Ritual: to be with another guy who I love and who is another model of authentic masculine strength, love and presence. Tony Robbins is likely one of the most authentic and embodied agents of real change I have ever met. Many people talk, they write, and they talk more – Tony delivers. It was such an incredible joy to be at his program – right up front – soaking in the great vibes, making some amazing friends, building authentic community, and making some massive breakthroughs of my own. Like the event with Donny, my time with Tony was another massive watershed in my life. I thought I knew what that weekend was going to be like. It cracked my head and heart open and it felt GREAT.
At both events there was a series of crazy, wild, and incredible serendipity and coincidence that was simply mind-blowing. Its like getting a big kiss from the Divine letting you know, "You are on the right track, kid."
So here are some gems from the last month that I want to share with you and then I'll tell you about walking on fire:
Change happens NOW. It is never a "process". We make a change NOW. Process is an illusion. It takes time to condition change so that it becomes our center of gravity, our true north. It takes time to make change and new perspectives a permanent habit. However, change is a decision and it happens NOW. You can have all the beliefs in the world, yet change requires choice, action, and decision. All change is a matter of energy. In a lower energy state, we have a hard time making and sustaining change. In a high energy state, we can change and transform anything. All of us have energy – and LOTS of it – most people just don't know how to condition themselves to access it anytime. When we know how to access the fuel, we can start a fire. Because of stress, trauma, and our past conditioning, for many of us its not safe to find that energy. We learned to survive and get by and in so doing settled for scraps rather than the 5 star buffet the Universe has in store for us. That buffet, by the way, has NOTHING to do with circumstance, and everything to do with our story of life and the focus we take. I'll say it again – change happens NOW. Its a courageous choice NOW. We don't need a different past to make the courageous choice now. Then, over time, like a spiritual athlete, we condition our new mindset as our new reality through practice.
It all comes down to three things: Our internal physiology (our internal energy) + Our focus (where we direct our attention and our efforts) + Meaning/language (the story we create about things). When these things are on, when they are congruent you are on FIRE! Truly, there is nothing one cannot overcome with integrity and congruence and clarity of intention. The best part is that is not circumstance dependent. It is willingness and heart and soul dependent. That is a big difference.
I'll illustrate this with my story of walking on 2200 degree coals with Tony Robbins. It was AWESOME and its a pretty big deal. You are about to walk on burning coals that are almost 4 times the temperature of your stovetop at its hottest. For three plus hours Tony worked with us so we could get into the PHYSIOLOGY of total connection, high energy, positivity, and radical strength. We could call this a "peak state". A peak state is that internal state where everything is possible, where we are fountains of creativity, and we are loaded with energy. It is the ultimate state of love for self and others. It is the state all of the great athletes, performers, martial artists, and healers know. It is that place within where nothing is impossible. In this state, healing and growth is truly possible. Its also the state where we learn to cultivate authentic happiness. We built some serious energy and some serious peak state experiences. Just when I thought I couldn't take any more, we would do it again. And again. It was awesome to feel how much we are capable of. I have completed an Ironoman Triathlon and practiced martial arts for years. I can honestly say that this was even beyond all of that – by far! Think of a time when you felt totally alive. What was your physiology? Think of a time you felt totally happy. What was your physiology? Think of a time when you were engrossed in something you love. What was your physiology? Its in you, I promise. Like I said earlier, its just the art of learning to access it in the right way at the right time and change is effortless.
Then we got clear on our FOCUS – the focus was not the burning coals beneath our feet, the focus was the other side. The focus was not our fear, the focus was our courage and laser attention to staying in this peak state. The focus was not on what could go wrong, the focus was on the celebration at the other side. Think of a time when you were totally successful in your life. Where was your focus? Think of a time when you felt amazing. Where was your focus? Think of a time when you felt totally empowered. Where was your focus? Think of a time when you felt lonely or depressed. Where was your focus? Focus is a massive ingredient in life. Without it there is no forward progress. To get across that fire and not get seriously burned, we had to create an absolutely unshakeable focus. I went in very cocky about the firewalk. The more I learned about it the more scared I got. I had two options: wimp out and not do it or get in the zone, set my focus, and get the job done. Giving up is not an option for me, so I rocked out some serious focus. My focus was on getting to the other side, my focus was on the celebration at the end, and my focus was on holding the space so others could have strength to lean on when they freaked out. My focus was like a laser.
Next, we set the MEANING. The meaning of this was not to walk across fire, the meaning was on the metaphor this had for our lives. This was about smashing any limiting beliefs so we could rise to the occasion and show what our souls were made of. It was a metaphor that no matter what shows up in our life we can transcend circumstance and overcome. We intended to create massive energy as a community and literally set the world on fire with love and giving. The fire walk was simply a rite of passage – a ritual that would show us that if we could walk across 2200 degree coals then most other things in life are put into their right size. The meaning, the great philosophy, was that we were doing those not to get a rush of a peak state, or to simply get some novelty, we were doing this to push ourselves to grow and to embody our soul's destiny. I was doing it for my unborn child. I was doing it for my wife. I was doing it for all of you. I was doing it for my dad who saw two combat tours in Vietnam. I was doing it for my grandfather who lost his courage and committed suicide. I was doing it to see just how far I am willing to go to wake up, just how far we can go as humans to make the world a better place. I know how far we can go to make the world a scary place, but how far are we willing to stretch past our comfort zone to bring healing and new life? My meaning was HUGE.
Physiology + Focus + Meaning = Unlimited Energy for Change
I rocked out that fire walk with everything inside of me. With about 4,500 other people I showed up, stepped up, and delivered. It was one of the greatest experience of my life. Clarity of intention is simply the sum of Physiology + Focus + Meaning. With clarity of intention, its ALL possible – healing, weight loss, spiritual awakening, renewed passion in your marriage, real forgiveness, tremendous fun, lasting happiness, unlimited vitality, shedding crappy habits, financial abundance, trust, self-esteem – you name it. If you can dream it, it is possible with these ingredients.
My daddy rites of passage are almost complete – I spend tomorrow with my best guy friends rocking out the last stage – they have created a ritual and celebration to bring in the masculine strength for me to step up as a dad. I know it will be amazing.
Thank you all for being a part of my dream for a happier, healthier, and more evolved humanity. Its my honor to serve you on any level. If you have not been in for a while, come in and get reconnected, to the inner fire of your heart – that fire that consumes whatever stress is holding you back. If you have never been to see me, this is a great time to step up your commitment to your life and set up an initial consultation. Right now we have about a 2 month waiting list and it is growing fast, so if its been on your mind, then go for it. We anticipate a 4 month waiting list by next year, so now is the time! I will be leading another killer retreat here in Charlotte, NC March 23-24 with Dr. Susan Breitbach. It is filling fast and will be completely filled within a week or two – so let us know if you would like to attend. Our April 18-21 Jamaica Retreat is available for lottery slots only – if you'd like to try and get a lottery slot, let us know as well be finalizing our list in the next two weeks. Our "MEETUP group" is also going to be changing and morphing into a "Wisdom Academy" of sorts in 2013. Lots of exciting things to light you on fire. Just let us know how to support you.
Much love,
Dr. Matt Lyon, DC

NEW YORK — CockyBoys have announced the release of Part 4 of their mini-series "One Erection: The (Un)making of a Boy Band."
"Life in a boy band is definitely interesting, as seen in previous episodes," a spokesperson for the gay series said. "But as the series draws closer to the end, the gossip and sexual tension within the group continues to worsen. Viewers begin to see more of the real personality of the band members as they delve into more of the behind-the-scenes dynamic and personal relationships between the 'straight' members of New Direction."

Conference paper
Motion Interaction Field for Accident Detection in Traffic Surveillance Video
This paper presents a novel method for modeling of interaction among multiple moving objects to detect traffic accidents. The proposed method to model object interactions is motivated by the motion of water waves responding to moving objects on water surface. The shape of the water surface is modeled in a field form using Gaussian kernels, which is referred to as the Motion Interaction Field (MIF). By utilizing the symmetric properties of the MIF, we detect and localize traffic accidents without solving complex vehicle tracking problems. Experimental results show that our method outperforms the existing works in detecting and localizing traffic accidents.

Need some design inspiration? Let's take a look at some of our top selling categories and design themes from the past few months. While these themes may seem generic, keep in mind they're top sellers because they've got one of two characteristics (or both!):
- The design message resonates with a group of people—meaning it incites an emotional reaction from the buyer.
- The design is customized for a very specific niche—to the point where the buyer feels like the design was created just for them.
So what were some of the top selling design themes from the past few months?
- Jobs – military, veteran, police, nurse, engineer, welder
- Family – dad, grandpa, daughter, mom, grandma
- Politics – Trump, Women's Day, She Persisted, feminist
- Hobbies – camping, fishing, hunting
- Pets – dog, kittens, cats
- Other – Harambe, Vikings
And of course, don't forget about upcoming events like Mother's Day and Father's Day! 😉
Customizing designs with layers
Design themes like jobs, families and pets are always popular on Teespring. The trick is taking these themes and adapting them for specific audiences. For example, you can customize a welder design by adding on different "layers" to the design message.
Layer 1 (career): All men are created equal, but only a few become welders!
Layer 2 (career & family): Some people call me a welder, the most important people call me daddy.
Layer 3 (career, family, hobbies): This welder lives by 4 rules; don't touch my tools, my guns, my beer & my wife!
When it comes to new and trending themes like politics and feminism, the possibilities for customizing your design messages are endless!
Adapting designs for global markets
Another way to customize designs is by adapting them for new markets. For example, you've got a super successful "Softball Mom" design niche you're selling in the U.S. Why not reuse this design for another market like the U.K.? Softball might not be as popular in England, but what about trying "Rugby Mum" for example?
You can take customization one step further by translating your designs for new markets too—one of the perks of our Loyalty Program is free translations. Check out this case study about how we adapted a popular U.S. niche for the German market and sold 170 items in our first run.

Is Nikitin Dheer throwing weight around at a gym?
Fitness enthusiasts at an Andheri gymnasium are mighty annoyed
Nikitin Dheer apparently has managed to rub some of his fellow gym buddies the wrong way. They are hoping the newbie would conduct himself in a manner Shahid Kapoor does when he arrives to work out in the same gym.
Says a patron from the swanky gymnasium, "When Shahid arrives to do his bit, no one even notices his presence. He keeps his head low, face covered under a hoodie and avoids eye contact with people. There is no shoo-shaa that comes with being a star.
On the other hand, Nikitin makes it a point to announce his entry into the gym as loud as he can." The actor allegedly prefers to hang around with the ladies and is quite careless with his workout equipments. "He is almost 6'5" in height and after he finishes with the dumbbells, he throws them around with people around him running for cover when he does that."

Reveals the beauty and mystery of the feminine soul by showing readers the three core desires of every woman's heart--to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a grand adventure, and to unveil beauty--and describes how the feminine heart can be restored. Book available.
Publishers Description
Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to "be "the Beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child's play. They are the secret to the feminine heart. And yet--how many women do you know who ever find that life? As the years pass by, the heart of a woman gets pushed aside, wounded, buried. She finds no romance except in novels, no adventure except on television, and she doubts very much that she will ever be the Beauty in any tale. Most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and duty, chores and errands, striving to be the women they "ought" to be but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women add to the pressure. "Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman."The effect has not been good on the feminine soul. The message of "Captivating "is this: Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman--they are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now as the Hero of your story, to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.

Wake Up CALL ~ with Brian Fanale "Commitment & Freedom"
MyLeadSystemPro Co-Founder Brian Fanale led this morning's call.
Summer is supposed to be a slow time traditionally in this industry but Brian sees everyone in MLSP doing so well. He's impressed with the numbers he sees members hitting within MLSP.
He says it's just phenomenal.
Think about it: there aren't any other options for people these days for those who want to make $. Right here, right now is where everyone is turning. If you haven't seen a spike in your lead flow, in your paycheck … he says you will. Stay committed to your marketing, pick your strategy and stick with it.
We have all kinds of ways to generate leads within the back office.
Brian says to pick a strategy and run with it – just keep your momentum rolling.
You need 3 simple things to build your business.
1. become a leader
2. build a list
3. market to your list
Always provide value- give them what they want… they want a solution to finding leads and they want training.
When you 1st started looking at this industry, you weren't exactly looking for a biz. You were looking for solutions.
Build the value in yourself first then build lead flow for your business
It's not that hard… you don't have to know everything about everything…you have to know a little about a lot.
When he initially began internet marketing Brian picked video marketing and learned everything he had to know about it and 3 months later he was a top earner within his primary.
Tt took him 8 most to build a funnel … it's the gpt funnel in your back office.
He built his business through videos, articles, and ppc.
You can do this.
1. Build a list
2. Build a relationship with your list.
3. Market to the list.
People are looking for leaders, show them how they can get more money and that's when things start happening.
Brian wrote a post about freedom on the MLSP website. The only reason why we have our freedom is b/c of our forefathers.
He is his own boss. This industry gives you freedom.
Most people have bosses for their entire lives. Brian chose to have a life of freedom and dedicated his time to learn how to market online in order to live the life he wanted
He started in this industry just as the real estate bubble burst.
You can create your own freedom… you can create whatever you want.
This Wednesday's training is going to be on twitter ppc.
We are so dedicated to getting you the best of the best. Your best interest is our #1 goal.
Get inspired. We built this to help you. Get your mind right, enjoy what you do and help a ton of people.

Pick The Perfect Lights For Your Home
Illumination can really individualize a space. When you might be on a tight budget plus don't have got plenty of funds to entirely renovate your property, transforming the lighting can provide a house another appear.You can find hundreds of possibilities in lights and so no one needs to have issues locating the excellent lighting to complement the personality with their home.

Studying the alternatives offered by
undercabinet lighting
may help you pick which options are fantastic for your home. The wide selection of lights on the market today could be a little mind-boggling for any homeowner which really doesn't possess a obvious notion of the kind of illumination they love to set up. The lighting you end up picking needs to be efficient in addition to interesting.
As an example, spaces which don't acquire all-natural sunlight might make use of more lights whilst bedrooms that get a great deal of direct sun rays need better lights. Quorum International features several types of fittings that may be appropriate for several various bedrooms.
There are dining-room chandeliers along with pendant and island lighting that might be
for a kitchen. Living rooms and bed rooms tend to gain more from table lamps and wall decorative wall lighting fixtures because they need a lot less light in comparison with the kitchen and bathrooms.

Cylinder with slots meshing
1 Attachment(s)
Hi...I am very new to the gambit software and wish to know how to specify the boundry zones for a cylinder with slots. I am trying the 2d meshing for the same. Kindly help me in understanding the concept because when I am getting an error saying the boundry condition specified is invalid for all the edges.
what kind of BC are you trying to attach (and where)?
thanks for your reply max...Actually, i sorted out the boundry condition..I would be grateful if you could advise on the right meshing of the slotted cylinder which is my job. It is subjected to a liquid flow of 10 m/s. How should I divide the rectangular area so that I may get the best possible result regarding the pressure conditions around the cylinder at every slot position.
I am sorry but I am asking you the basics but pls help me as am a beginner in the area. I was also trying the same in 3d with a rectangular prism as my boundry area and a slotted cylinder. So how do I mesh the area to get the best result? I tried first Quad mapping the faces and also the cylindrical slots but I got an error.
post a picture with your geometry and display how should flow your fluid
1 Attachment(s)
I am attaching the pic of the 3d drawing i made in gambit with a rectangular prism.
For a quick but acceptable mesh, I would apply size function on cylinder-surfaces (choosen as source) >> http://my.fit.edu/itresources/manual...ommands_create
Then go and mesh the volume (no element size is required since it would be driven because of your size function >> max element size)
Choose tet-Hexcore algorithm
You are also free to attach a boundary Layer on your cylinder-surfaces
thanks max..so should i select the source as 8 cylindrical slots and attachment as the entire cylindrical body volume using proximity type size function. My volume is a single entity consisting of rectangular prism minus the cylindrical part..could you please explain step wise..if i am wrong here..thanks for your time..
I got an error message " previously meshed edges on one of the faces is unacceptable" . I cant diagnoze the problem
Please help...
how many volumes do you have?
Can you post a picture of your domain with shaded modus enabled?
1 Attachment(s)
I have only 1 volume as shown in the pic
Regarding size function: you need to select all surfaces from your cylinder as source, and your volume as attachment.
If you get one error message, check if Gambit gives you any information about edge or surface name.
Thanks max...it worked...now I would do the next step. Could you tell me how to rotate the slotted cylinder so that I can do a dynamic study?Do we have to change the meshing since mine is static right now?
this is now a complete different approach: you need to work with intefaces.
For that you create anoter cylinder (but bigger as your own), and you split your domain with new cylinder.
Now you have 2 volumes: one will be stator, and the other rotor.
To let the rotor rotate independantly from stator, you need to deconnect both together.
Once it is done the only thing you need to define is interfaces. If everything is ok, you should have superposed surface where domains were connected. So at the "interface" just define surfaces from rotor as interface1 (INTERFACE - BC) and those from stator as interface2 ( INTERFACE - BC).
Finally in Fluent you need to create the interfaces by picking both interfaces-bc.
As fluid domains are now "reconnected"(data extrapolation through interfaces), you can rotate your rotor in the moving mesh pane.
Is there any tutorials available for rotating cylinder? ..it would help me get a better understanding...anyways Ill try your suggested methodology..
Is there a tutorial for 2d rotation of cylinder?Then I will try the 3d rotation..
Check here http://my.fit.edu/itresources/manual...tg/node162.htm, but watch out this is MRF, so no moving mesh.
If you want your rotor to rotate, you need to activate moving mesh
Hi..I was making a 2d cylinder rotation problem...I made a circular face of r=1 then a bigger circular face of radii 8. Then I split the 2 faces...i am not able to get the superimposed surfaces...please can u explain step by step...thanks for your time...
if you split the surface with the other surface, then your 2 domains are connected, and you don t get any superposed edges (2d).
To disconnect either you go to edge/disconnect. Or you can copy and translate your rotor domain, then delete the orginal rotor surface (connected), and finally move back the rotor-copy
I tried doing it by sliding mesh but I am not able to get the results that I expected.I feel my answer is wrong.I am confused on what should be the boundry conditions that I should set. I drew a cylinder over and above the rotor as interface. Is it correct? Should I give rotational velocity to the interface? I only want the slotted cylinder to rotate and gauge the effect of its rotation on incoming velocity from left as shown in the fig. Max help me to understand on how to specify boundry conditions?
I need to find the simulation for inlet water of 1 m/s and the slotted cylinder rotating at 5 m/s. Ineed to find the pressure and velocity distribution mainly at the slots of cylinder.
This is my last request to you.
Thanks for your patience.

'We know this asset': Fortis to buy Teck Resources' stake in B.C. dam for $1.2B
Fortis looks to increase investment in sustainable energy: CEO
Security Not Found
The stock symbol {{StockChart.Ric}} does not exist
Fortis Inc (FTS.TO) said on Friday it would will buy Teck Resources Ltd's (TECKb.TO) two-thirds stake in the Waneta dam in British Columbia as well as any related transmission assets for $1.2 billion in cash.
A Teck unit will then get a 20-year lease to use the assets to produce power for its Trail Operations, the company's zinc and lead smelting and refining complex in southeastern British Columbia, the companies said in a joint statement.
Fortis has been operating the Waneta dam for more than 20 years and owns 51 per cent of the Waneta expansion plant downstream.
"We know this asset really well," Fortis CEO Barry Perry told BNN in an interview. "Our diligence didn't last that long in this process."
Fortis' acquisition of Teck's stake is not yet set in stone. B.C. hydro owns the other one-third of the dam and may decide to lay claim to Teck's assets.
"We have to leave it to them to decide, clearly," Perry said.
If B.C. Hydro does decide to purchase the rest of the dam, Teck will pay Fortis a break fee of $25 million, according to Perry.
Perry said that if Fortis ends up landing the deal, it will be financed through a mix of sources, "probably in the one-third equity, two-thirds debt range."
Fortis' debt has shot up — from $11.2 million in 2015 to $21 million in 2016 — since its US$11.3-billion acquisition of ITC Holdings Corp (ITC.N) last year. But Perry maintains that Fortis isn't biting off more than they can chew.
"We have a very prudent approach to debt [and are] clearly working with our rating agencies." Perry said, further adding that the ITC transaction is "fully financed" and that the integration is going "extremely well."
Vancouver-based Teck, which primarily mines coal, zinc and copper, said last September it was considering selling some infrastructure assets, including the Waneta Dam and the Ridley coal terminal in British Columbia.
Teck, which has been using cash flow and profit to cut debt, had debt of US$5.1 billion at the end of the first quarter.

One of my main frustrations when reading "advice" online as to how parents should talk to their kids about bullying is the assumption that parents will be able to brainstorm ways to stop the bullying with their kids. It presumes that parents have inherent knowledge of what tricks work and how they work. Unfortunately, it's my experience that most people, parents included, have no clue what to avise their kids!
It seems as though the "go-to" piece of advice parents (and other adults) give their kids is to just ignore their bully. The rationale behind it is if you don't give the bully attention, they'll get bored and go away. I did an online research to see if I could find definitions of "ignoring" a bully. And to my un-surprise, not only do people not agree, but some of these articles are unhelpful.
I remember when I was a kid and I was told to ignore my bully. The next day I walked into school, stood outside my classroom for the teacher to arrive and my bullies started bugging me about my hair. So I looked elsewhere and pretended I couldn't hear them. Which, after years of asking kids who come to me for advice what ignoring a bully means to them, is generally what kids think that ignoring means. You know what though? Pretending like you can't hear someone not only doesn't work, but can make things worse!
I mean, a bully's not crazy. He or she knows that you can't just turn off your ears like you close your eyes. They know that you can hear them, and if you are "pretending" not to, they know that it's probably because what they're doing is getting to you. Their mission is to get a reaction out of you so they'll just continue until your veneer cracks.
And here's the thing: I don't think that parents mean the same thing when they advise their kids to "ignore" it than what their kids think it means. So here's a major piece of advice: when telling a kid to ignore, lay out what it actually means and why you think it's important.
Different people have different ideas of what ignoring is, but here is what it means to me:
- You need to acknowledge the bully to let him or her know that you DO in fact hear what is being said. That means that you need to look the bully straight in the eye for a few seconds (about 5 seconds to be precise).
- It's important to NOT react negatively to the bullying and show your sadness or hurt. What I tell kids is to practice in front of the mirror and imagine themselves watching the most boring TV show (like the evening news) ever. And then when the bully starts teasing, use the "boring TV show face"
- You can reply something if you want, but it's not necessary and not all kids want to go that route. Using sarcasm or humour can always help, and practice can help to develop a good response.
- Then, walk away or turn to someone or something else. This is important to show that you have other stuff to do and can't be bothered with what the bully says.
- Bullying NEVER stops the first time you try a new trick. It's so important to let kids know that they'll have to try a trick a good 30 times before it starts to work. It's always helpful to remind kids to keep at it consistently.
Always remember that ignoring a bully is not a solution that is to be used alone or in every case. If the abuse becomes physical, when the bullies harass their victim and the victim feels like they can't get away from it, when an entire group gangs up on a kid, etc., it's important to get other adults around the kid involved. Which is another blog post in the making!
Let me know what you think in the comments below about ignoring! What does it mean to you and have you ever tried it? Has it worked for you and how?

Among the many new dog books due out in time for the Christmas gift season is Madison Avenue Maxi, a memoir about a miniature dachshund by Elke Gazzara, wife of movie star Ben Gazzara. According to USA Today, it is touted by its publisher, Carroll & Graf, as "a Marley and Me for the uptown set."
Here's the Amazon description:
When Ben Gazzara and his wife, Elke, reluctantly agree to adopt the pet dachshund their daughter no longer wants, the couple unknowingly takes a new member into their family. Neither of the Gazzaras is a "dog person," and the sudden presence of a pet in the lives of these jet-setters appears at first uncertain. However, the ever-sweet, playful, and surprisingly smart Maxi immediately endears herself, and soon she becomes the Gazzaras' unlikely "child" in the empty nest of their Madison Avenue townhouse. The little dog accompanies the pair everywhere — to the theater, restaurants, dinner parties, world-class hotels, receptions for heads of state, and even the dentist.
Madison Avenue Maxi is the story of a love affair between a dog and her owners. With heartfelt humor and a dog lover's eye, Gazzara chornicles Maxi's antics in Manhattan as well as at their second home in Tuscany and over travels to the French Riviera, Brazil, Spain, and other luxurious locales. Along the way she meets celebrities such as Roman Polanski, Gena Rowlands, John Voigt, Danielle Steele, Gay Talese, Peter Bogdanovich, New York's mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Frank Gehry.
Madison Avenue Maxi is a warm, touching memoir of man — and woman's—best friend.
The Daily Doxie will keep an eye out for the reviews.

St Patrick's Maghera failed in their bid to win back-to-back All-Ireland colleges titles, after a two-point defeat to Kerry team Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne, Dingle.
The Derry boys started the Hogan Cup final well, with a superb goal from Conor Glass and an excellent point from Danny Tallon.
Maghera looked to be comfortably in control, going in at half time 1-04 to 0-02 ahead.
But the Kerry lads came out strong at the start of the second half, and were quickly on level terms, as St Patrick's struggled to get out of their own half.
Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne deservedly took the lead, but Maghera dragged themselves level, as the game entered its last 10 minutes.
However, it was the Kerry team who surged ahead with two points - a lead which Maghera could not overhaul.

What you see on the internet is rarely what you get. The pictures always look nice and big too! I have also found that it doesn't matter how many questions you ask unless it is in print somewhere, like a contract, it won't exist like you think it does. Even sometimes the contract doesn't matter because if you are renting a place, it has probably been lived in many times over by the time you get to it.
I have had several experiences of renting places and sometimes due to urgency and sometimes in good faith I have rented sub-par situations.
My most recent situation has left me very angry, disappointed and disillusioned as I guess a situation of this kind would to anyone.
And instead of totally complaining I wanted to advise and well, there might be a little complaining.
Firstly and I think probably the most important thing you can do when trying to find a place to stay in Buenos Aires is to try to connect with as many people as possible in the tango community and ask them about the places you are thinking about renting. Try to find someone who has stayed there or someone who might even go check it out for you.
Try to know as much as possible about what you are looking for.
How often is their housecleaning? What does it include? Does this include a change of sheets and towels?
Is there construction going on in the building or on the street?
Are there pots and pans, silverware, glasses, mugs, etc?
Often times there are things that maybe even the owner doesn't know about. Take the time to take a careful look around to see if the place meets your needs. Know that once you pay, and usually it is in cash, that you will not get that cash back. You may get a portion back if you decide early on that it is not going to work. And portenos are very good at trying their best to rectify the situation in order for you to stay.
Now a note to those who are renting to Tangueros.
Most foreigners who are traveling and are staying for more than 1 week are expecting a certain level of comfort. Of course, I don't speak for all those who are visiting but some of us.
If I wanted to stay in a very inexpensive place or even in a hostel living situation than I would choose this and I would expect a certain standard. I must also mention that I have stayed in very nice hostels over the years and have been very pleased. However, if I am paying $40+ / night I would expect to have a clean place to stay and proper plumbing. I would expect the toilets to flush, the shower to function more than a dribble, and the house to be clean. Clean meaning that there is not a layer of dust all over the place. If there are futon beds and the actual frame is broken so that when you lie on it you have a piece of wood in your back then it needs to be dealt with. If a bed is going to be on the floor it would be best for this to be stated.
I know that every house has its peculiarities. I refer to things such as how the lights may work or how far to turn the hot water or only turn on the hot water. Whatever they are these should be outlined in a booklet or told to each new person coming to the house. Kind of like a list of house "rules". These should include how to use the heat or the air conditioning.
It is amazing to me how much the tourists are being taken advantage of in Buenos Aires. I have family who live there and who have lived there their entire lives who claim this as well.
With all this being said, I just ask that as a tourist you become informed and as an owner or vendor who is offering a service that is needed that all aspects be taken into consideration.
You don't need to be taken advantage of as a tourist, a visitor, remember to be as clear as possible as to what you want and do some asking around.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has said that it is hard to sustain friendships in the Hindi film industry.
The 48-year-old director has reportedly had strained relationships with Ajay Devgn, Aditya Chopra, Rani Mukerji, Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor.
"Friendship in Bollywood… it's difficult! Difficult because there is a lot of competition. People are very friendly, they are warm, they are nice… and there are a lot of people who are friends for long… but real friendship is tough here," Bhansali told IANS.
"Bollywood is a competitive place. But for me at least, if a friendship means that I have to work with the same actor and the same actress because that's what friendship is, then that is not friendship for me. That becomes a liability - a liability that you are bound to a person."
The filmmaker described what he believed to be an ideal friendship in the industry, saying: "I feel a good friend in the industry is a person who says, 'Okay, you've made a film with me, we had a great working relationship. Now if your other script demands another person, it doesn't mean you're taking anything away from me, or you are betraying me or backstabbing me.'
"But in Bollywood, if I have worked with a director, an actor, an actress and I do not repeat them, then there is no friendship. To put it simply… equations with people here change from film to film."
Known for films such as Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas and Black, Bhansali admitted to having few close companions in Bollywood.
"I, in particular, might not have had too many friends in the industry, but I do not have enemies either. A good, healthy relationship with colleagues is what this industry needs, and I have tried to find and keep healthy relationships," said the filmmaker.
Bhansali recently had a disagreement with Farah Khan over the clash between the release of their films.
"A friend will start off exactly where he left it and Farah Khan stands for what I am talking about," he said.
"We had a problem… but I knew if I go to her with a film, she will start from where we left... There are good friends like that… Salman has been a very good friend over the years, and so have lots of others."

Five artists performing over the course of five hours – Lit kicked things off at 5:50 p.m. and Tears for Fears finished its set at about 10:45 p.m. – produced a fast-paced and eclectic mix of '80s and '90s hits at Jack's 10th Show at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre on Saturday night.
Like many of Jack FM's previous multi-artist mini festivals, this was a party-minded affair that allowed fans to make the day their own. Many of the seats around me were empty until evening, with many fans opting to eat, drink, check out merchandise and entertain themselves in the expansive grassy area outside. There was a long line of people trying to win prizes at the Totally '80s Bar booth (who wouldn't want their own Rubik's Cube?), and many concertgoers were busy checking out the drums and guitars at the Yamaha Music Experience booth.
After radio personality Richard Blade kicked things off on the main stage, taking requests and hosting a kind of name-that-tune game, it was time for the real action. Orange County's Lit played 40 minutes of rock that included its best-known hits and enticing new material. A new reggae-tinged melodic rocker likely titled "Make Love Easy" that is part of a new crop of songs the band has been working on in Nashville was particularly effective, while fans got to their feet and sang along to the group's biggest hit, "My Own Worst Enemy."
Everclear was a good choice to include in the day's lineup, but lead singer Art Alexakis' hoarse vocals detracted from the power of "Heroin Girl," "Santa Monica" and "Father of Mine." An acoustic-style version of Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" also failed to excite.
Cake's 40-minute outing was a bona fide joy, highlighted by singer-guitarist John McCrea's offbeat personality, consistently impressive harmonies and trumpeter Vince DiFiore's stellar work. The keyboard-anchored "Long Time" and psychobilly burner "Stick Shifts and Safety Belts" were early highlights, while the cool rocker "Sick of You" and a reworked version of Black Sabbath's 1970 classic "War Pigs" delighted fans later. When the band realized it only had a few minutes left, Cake quickly kicked it up with a buoyant version of "The Distance."
British rockers Bush had the prime slot, performing as the night grew dark and temps had dropped dramatically. The Gavin Rossdale and his group's post-grunge sound had the near-capacity audience on its feet for more than an hour. Hits aplenty were unleashed with power, including "Machinehead," "Everything Zen," "Glycerine" and others, allowing the band to rock relentlessly. Toward the end of the set, Rossdale left the stage and ventured far into the audience, providing a dramatic element to the band's set.
Tears for Fears' intoxicating and nuanced rock was the perfect follow-up to the hard edge of Bush. More than 30 years after the release of seminal studio discs "The Hurting" (1983) and "Songs From the Big Chair" (1985), the duo of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith continue to champion songcraft like few others. TFF's 70-minute set was heavy on hits, but thankfully, that wasn't a bad thing. The dramatic opener "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," the Beatle-esque "Sowing the Seeds of Love," the haunting "Pale Shelter" and the swirling "Head Over Heels" have lost none of their luster over the years and were performed with perfection. Lesser-known songs ("Secret World" and "Closest Thing to Heaven" from the band's outstanding 2004 release "Everybody Loves a Happy Ending") were equally stirring. An interactive six-minute version of "Shout" closed out the night, the crowd on its feet and happily singing along.

The University of Life has seen record admissions after thousands of A Level students across the country received piss-poor results yesterday morning.
A report released by UCAS shows that this year record numbers of 18 year olds will be preparing to study at the University of Life.
"I was buzzing my tits off to start a course in International Hair and Beauty Management Studies at the University of Lincoln" said Hannah Williams, Sixth Form student from Bury. "But after receiving DUD in my A Levels, I only have enough UCAS points to take up a place at the University of Life".
Simon Jones, Headteacher of Hannah's Sixth Form College added "A place at the University of Life will stand Hannah in good stead as she takes her first steps into adult life."
He continued, "What with the coming of this Northern Powerhouse that we've been hearing so much about, I imagine that having attended a chronically underfunded, 'Satisfactory' OFSTED rated Sixth Form College shouldn't make too much of a difference to her life chances."
Hannah is currently preparing for her Bachelor's degree in mind-numbing, spirit-sapping shelf-stacking at her local tax-dodging supermarket.

186- Sally Hansen Continuous Treatment Reviews!
Saturday, March 19, 2011
I have tried all my four treatments and now have backups of three of them! My favorite is my Hardening Treatment but I have to say all of them are great!
Wow Thanks for posting this. I love the polish design and the colors are really cute!
Thanks so much for this post! I'll have to check some of these out - I also have weak nails!
Really informative :)
I definitely need a new base and top coat. Thanks for visiting today. Love your nails!
Thanks for this post, very helpful. My nails are weak and break easily. I need to look into these treatments. ;)
Cute blog! I'm a new follower :)
my nails are also weak and the mani chips
I have weak nails too. Stupid unlucky roll of the genetic dice!!
Great post! The base and topcoat sounds really handy :)
New follower, please follow me back.
Wow, that's a pretty high rating. I found you via blog hop and am following.
Follow back at http://jothome.blogspot.com
Seriously - great review. You should host a giveaway for them!!
Happy Sunday,
Very nice. Thanks for the review! I'm stopping by with the hops, and now I follow. I hope you have a happy Sunday.
My nails are like paper so this was a useful post.Thanks for stopping by to link up at Weekend Creative Blog Hop over at wordsinsync.blogspot.com
Not sure how 'creative' it is mind you? ;D
Shah, X
I have the same problem. That's why I don't paint my nails anymore. The polish just doesn't last. My mom always said the key to making it last was multiple coats...but I always have that, "I'll do this coat today and a top coat tomorrow" and, of course, by then the chipping has already started.
Awesome, I'm going to try the hardening treatment! I'm always on the lookout for a product like this that works well.
Sally Hansen usally chips on me---so I stopped using it. But I do like these colors so maybe I'll try it again
I haven't done my nails since having children...ooo, something I miss. You have inspired me to do something to pamper myself this week!
Stopping by from the Sunday blog hop. I've never done one before, it's been fun to find new blogs to read.
New follower from Say Hi Sunday. Interesting post. I can never make my nails look as nice as when I get them professionally done. Too shaky I guess.

About Us
Rooftop Units
There are a number of ways to control temperatures inside commercial buildings, but the options for your structure will be determined by the size of the building, your budget, and the level of efficiency you're looking for. For larger buildings with heavy heating and cooling needs, rooftop HVAC units are an excellent choice, provided you have the roof space to accommodate the unit.
If you own a business in the Atlanta area and are in need of a powerful, reliable and environmentally friendly heating and cooling option to replace your current system, call Wall Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. today. Our team of highly trained commercial HVAC experts can have your new system up and running in no time and keep it in peak condition for years to come.
Commercial Rooftop HVAC Unit Options
Commercial rooftop units are designed to house all of the components for your air conditioning and heating systems. They are designed for buildings that have no space on the ground level but have a flat rooftop that can accommodate a multi–ton HVAC system.
Rooftop units vary in size greatly, from 2 tons to 150 or more tons for large commercial spaces, schools and government buildings. Rooftop units provide both heating and cooling along with the air handler needed to circulate the heated and cooled air through ductwork inside the building.
Commercial Rooftop HVAC Unit Installation
During the phase before installation, a professional will perform a load calculation on your space to determine which units are capable of adequately controlling temperatures in your commercial space. This ensures the system you end up choosing isn't too big or too small. When properly sized for the space, a rooftop unit will work consistently to provide steady, accurate heating and cooling without excess energy bills and without any loss of comfort in any part of the building.
Commercial Rooftop HVAC Unit Maintenance & Repair
If you already have a rooftop unit and you notice a problem or if it simply hasn't been inspected recently, call a professional right away. Due to the complexity of these units, annual maintenance is highly recommended. During that visit, the system will be thoroughly cleaned, tested and inspected to check for any parts that need replacement.
If the system isn't properly maintained, its lifespan can be dramatically reduced. Being outside, contaminants and debris as well as weather damage can have a profoundly negative impact on its operation. If something does go wrong, it's important to call a professional as soon as possible to have it inspected and repaired. A broken rooftop unit left to operate when in need of repair may eventually break down completely. Even if the problem is relatively minor, you'll lose many years off of its lifespan by ignoring the problem and allowing it to slowly take a toll on the system.
Whether you already have a rooftop unit that needs service or you're just now considering having one installed, call Wall Heating & Air today. Our highly trained air conditioning technicians have years of experience installing, maintaining and repairing commercial rooftop HVAC units for Atlanta metro area business owners, so you know you're in good hands when you schedule service with us. Call us now to set up an appointment and ensure you always have the temperature control you need for your commercial space.

I was in Sarasota FL for two nights on business on my way back to the BVI from Connecticut, but realized I had a 6AM flight out of Tampa the next morning. Rather than drive 1.5 hours and have to hassle with the car return at 4 AM in the morning, I decided to stay the last night in Tampa instead,and return the car the evening before. Booked on line, and there was no problem getting a room for the last night in FL at the last minute. The hotel was easy to find just off the highway, and about 10 minutes from the terminals at the airport. They have a courtesy shuttle which was handy when I wanted to return my car and then go back to the hotel for the evening. Staff was courteous when checking in and handling the bags. Got upgraded to an Executive Floor or whatever the buzzword was as a result of being a InterContinental Ambassador Platinum Member (well worth the cost in my opinion). Room was very nice and comfortable. Got in around 8:30PM and was exhausted so ordered room service when I was in the lobby and my bags were being delivered to the room. Again, staff very accommodating. Nothing was missing from the room service tray and the food was good. Not fine dining, but I was hungary and this hit the spot. Although perhaps the smallest can of Coke Zero I have ever seen (note to Beverage Manager:spring for the 12 oz can for your guests.) Bed was comfortable, and bath was modern and very clean. Towels were of quantity and plushness you would expect from a Crowne Plaza. Soundproofing was good and did not get disturbed by the planes or traffic on the road out front. The fact is that the entire room was modern, very clean, and everything worked, which has not always been my experience in Florida. All in all for the one night, the hotel was convenient, the staff friendly, the room comfortable and the food good. Brief but good stay at the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Welcome to Tampa's newest premier hotel. The new Crowne Plaza Hotel Tampa Westshore offers a uniqueness all its own that can perhaps be best described as modern and fresh but elegantly posh.

Today's schools compartmentalize children and curriculum. Standardization dictates curricular content and assessment, narrowing the focus of classrooms and schools that serve diverse populations from varied geographical backgrounds. Against the backdrop of the western-derived, institutional framework of schooling are cultural ways of knowing that are place-based, holistic, experiential, and connected to oral storytelling. In the current movement toward acknowledging and understanding cultural knowledge, teacher education programs need to work in collaboration with cultural communities, honoring traditions and epistemologies and seeking to revitalize and sustain (Paris, 2012) language and culture. Such initiatives inform the big picture of educational reform and enrich mainstream university teacher education programs. This book highlights the journeys, challenges and unfolding stories of transformation that reside within university/community/school partnerships focused on cultural and linguistic revitalization through schooling.
