The Seljuq dynasty or Seljuk Turks[1][2][3](English pronunciation: /sɛldʒʊk/ SEL-juuk; Persian: آل سلجوق[4] Al-e Saljuq) was an Oghuz Turk Sunni Muslim dynasty that gradually became a Persianate society and contributed to the Turko-Persian tradition[5][6] in the medieval West and Central Asia. The Seljuqs established both the Seljuk Empire and Sultanate of Rum, which at their heights stretched from Anatolia through Iran and were targets of the First Crusade.
Early history[edit]
The Seljuqs originated from the Qynyk branch of the Oghuz Turks,[7][8][9][10] who in the 9th century lived on the periphery of the Muslim world, north of the Caspian Sea and Aral Sea in their Yabghu Khaganate of the Oghuz confederacy,[11] in the Kazakh Steppe of Turkestan.[12] During the 10th century, due to various events, the Oghuz had come into close contact with Muslim cities.[13]
When Seljuq, the leader of the Seljuq clan, had a falling out with Yabghu, the supreme chieftain of the Oghuz, he split his clan off from the bulk of the Tokuz-Oghuz and set up camp on the west bank of the lower Syr Darya. Around 985, Seljuq converted to Islam.[13] In the 11th century the Seljuqs migrated from their ancestral homelands into mainland Persia, in the province of Khurasan, where they encountered the Ghaznavid empire. In 1025, 40,000 families of Oghuz Turks migrated to the area of Caucasian Albania.[14] The Seljuqs defeated the Ghaznavids at the battle of Nasa plains in 1035. Tughril, Chaghri, and Yabghu received the insignias of governor, grants of land, and were given the title of dehqan.[15] At the battle of Dandanaqan they defeated a Ghaznavid army, and after a successful siege of Isfahan by Tughril in 1050/51,[16] they established an empire later called the Great Seljuk Empire. The Seljuqs mixed with the local population and adopted the Persian culture and Persian language in the following decades.[17][18][19][20][21]
Later period[edit]
After arriving in Persia, the Seljuqs adopted the Persian culture and used the Persian language as the official language of the government,[17][18][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and played an important role in the development of the Turko-Persian tradition which features "Persian culture patronized by Turkic rulers."[29] Today, they are remembered as great patrons of Persian culture, art, literature, and language[17][18][19] and are regarded as the partial ancestors of the Western Turks – the present-day inhabitants of Azerbaijan (incl. Iranian Azerbaijan), Turkey, and Turkmenistan.
Seljuq leaders[edit]
Rulers of the Seljuq Dynasty[edit]
The "Great Seljuqs" were heads of the family; in theory their authority extended over all the other Seljuq lines, although in practice this often was not the case. Turkish custom called for the senior member of the family to be the Great Seljuq, although usually the position was associated with the ruler of western Persia.

Bosworth , E. van Donzel and W.P. Heinrichs. Brill, 2009. Brill Online: "Culturally, the constituting of the Seljuq Empire marked a further step in the dethronement of Arabic from being the sole lingua franca of educated and polite society in the Middle East. Coming as they did through a Transoxania which was still substantially Iranian and into Persia proper, the Seljuqs with no high-level Turkish cultural or literary heritage of their own – took over that of Persia, so that the Persian language became the administration and culture in their land of Persia and Anatolia. The Persian culture of the Rum Seljuqs was particularly splendid, and it was only gradually that Turkish emerged there as a parallel language in the field of government and adab; the Persian imprint in Ottoman civilization was to remain strong until the 19th century.
- ^ John Perry, THE HISTORICAL ROLE OF TURKISH IN RELATION TO PERSIAN OF IRAN in Iran & the Caucasus, Vol. 5, (2001), pp. 193-200. excerpt: " First, since the Turkish-speaking rulers of most Iranian polities from the Ghaznavids and Seljuks onward were already iranized and patronized Persian literature in their domains, the expansion of Turk-ruled empires served to expand the territorial domain of written Persian into the conquered areas, notably Anatolia and Central and South Asia."
- ^ Ram Rahul. "March of Central Asia", Indus Publishing, pg 124: "The Seljuk conquest of Persia marked the triumph of the Sunni over Shii but without a decline in Persian culture. The Seljuks eventually adopted the Persian culture.
- ^ Ehsan Yarshater, "Iran" in Encyclopedia Iranica: "The ascent of the Saljuqids also put an end to a period which Minorsky has called "the Persian intermezzo" (see Minorsky, 1932, p. 21), when Iranian dynasties, consisting mainly of the Saffarids, the Samanids, the Ziyarids, the Buyids, the Kakuyids, and the Bavandids of Tabarestan and Gilan, ruled most of Iran. By all accounts, weary of the miseries and devastations of never-ending conflicts and wars, Persians seemed to have sighed with relief and to have welcomed the stability of the Saljuqid rule, all the more so since the Saljuqids mitigated the effect of their foreignness, quickly adopting the Persian culture and court customs and procedures and leaving the civil administration in the hand of Persian personnel, headed by such capable and learned viziers as 'Amid-al-Molk Kondori and Nezam-al-Molk."
- ^ C.E. Bosworth, "Turkish expansion towards the west", in UNESCO History of Humanity, Volume IV: From the Seventh to the Sixteenth Century, UNESCO Publishing / Routledge, 2000. p. 391: "While the Arabic language retained its primacy in such spheres as law, theology and science, the culture of the Seljuk court and secular literature within the sultanate became largely Persianized; this is seen in the early adoption of Persian epic names by the Seljuk rulers (Qubād, Kay Khusraw and so on) and in the use of Persian as a literary language (Turkish must have been essentially a vehicle for everyday speech at this time). The process of Persianization accelerated in the thirteenth century with the presence in Konya of two of the most distinguished refugees fleeing before the Mongols, Bahā' al-Dīn Walad and his son Mawlānā Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī, whose Mathnawī, composed in Konya, constitutes one of the crowning glories of classical Persian literature."
- ^ Stephen P. Blake, Shahjahanabad: The Sovereign City in Mughal India, 1639-1739. Cambridge University Press, 1991. pg 123: "For the Seljuks and Il-Khanids in Iran, it was the rulers rather than the conquered who were 'Persianized and Islamicized'".
- ^ Mehmed Fuad Koprulu, Early Mystics in Turkish Literature, Translated by Gary Leiser and Robert Dankoff, Routledge, 2006, pg 149: "If we wish to sketch, in broad outline, the civilization created by the Seljuks of Anatolia, we must recognize that the local, i.e. non-Muslim, element was fairly insignificant compared to the Turkish and Arab-Persian elements, and that the Persian element was paramount/The Seljuk rulers, to be sure, who were in contact with not only Muslim Persian civilization, but also with the Arab civilizations in al-jazīra and Syria – indeed, with all Muslim peoples as far as India – also had connections with {various} Byzantine courts. Some of these rulers, like the great 'Ala' al-Dīn Kai-Qubād I himself, who married Byzantine princesses and thus strengthened relations with their neighbors to the west, lived for many years in Byzantium and became very familiar with the customs and ceremonial at the Byzantine court. Still, this close contact with the ancient Greco-Roman and Christian traditions only resulted in their adoption of a policy of tolerance toward art, aesthetic life, painting, music, independent thought – in short, toward those things that were frowned upon by the narrow and piously ascetic views {of their subjects}. The contact of the common people with the Greeks and Armenians had basically the same result. {Before coming to Anatolia}, the Turks had been in contact with many nations and had long shown their ability to synthesize the artistic elements that they had adopted from these nations. When they settled in Anatolia, they encountered peoples with whom they had not yet been in contact and immediately established relations with them as well. 'Ala' al-Dīn Kai-Qubād I established ties with the Genoese and, especially, the Venetians at the ports of Sinop and Antalya, which belonged to him, and granted them commercial and legal concessions. Meanwhile, the Mongol invasion, which caused a great number of scholars and artisans to flee from Turkistan, Iran, Afghanistan, and Khwārazm and settle within the Empire of the Seljuks of Anatolia, resulted in a reinforcing of Persian influence on the Anatolian Turks. Indeed, despite all claims to the contrary, there is no question that Persian influence was paramount among the Seljuks of Anatolia. This is clearly revealed by the fact that the sultans who ascended the throne after Ghiyāth al-Dīn Kai-Khusraw I assumed titles taken from ancient Persian mythology, like Kai-Khusraw, Kai-Kā'ūs, and Kai-Qubād; and that 'Ala' al-Dīn Kai-Qubād I had some passages from the Shāhnāme inscribed on the walls of Konya and Sivas. When we take into consideration domestic life in the Konya courts and the sincerity of the favor and attachment of the rulers to Persian poets and Persian literature, then this fact {i.e. the importance of Persian influence} is undeniable. With regard to the private lives of the rulers, their amusements, and palace ceremonial, the most definite influence was also that of Iran, mixed with the early Turkish traditions, and not that of Byzantium."

text: The Unlikely Future Of Ordering At Pizza HutMike Fahey3/04/14 9:10amFiled to: The FuturePizza HutSnacktakukotakumobileinteractive furnituremenutableelectronictouch1194EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The first thing this concept video for a fully interactive tabletop Pizza Hut touch ordering system gets wrong is imagining a future where people still dine in at Pizza Hut. Advertisement I have not sat down at a Pizza Hut in more than a decade, back when I worked out of an office in Alpharetta, Georgia, and even then I just got the buffet, which would not require an expensive computer table. For the sake of Pizza Hut and Chaotic Moon, let's assume people of the future are sitting down at Pizza Hut for a nice-ish meal. Are they going to want to have the exact same experience they would ordering pizza over the internet? Advertisement And how about the woman pushing away the pepperoni in disgust? What is wrong with that woman? That would start a fight in my family. At least until we got to the part where we could play mobile games on the table together. Then all would be forgiven, as I lose myself in a relaxing game of Dragon Academy, a single-player match-3 puzzle game that runs in portrait mode. It's just like ignoring your spouse for your cell phone, only now there's an entire table worth of passive aggression for you to play with. Maybe we should start going back to Pizza Hut.

They did a nice job with the space they had. This is a fun and challenging little par three course. It ends in a serenity garden. Worth playing if close.
+1 votes Christopher Swanson › June 3, 2012
I sponsored one of the holes when the course opened in 2000. It is a nice beginner course that I enjoy playing with my children, but it is short. Hole #2 is the longest hole and it was listed as about 250 feet before the sign disappeared, but I think it plays more like 270 feet. The first hole is listed as 215 feet, but I think it plays more like 240 feet. There is a somewhat long walk between Holes 5 & 6. Hole #6 is the most difficult as it requires a drive down a narrow fairway of pine tr ...

Victoria buskers festival scores big bucks
With the first difficult year behind it, the Victoria International Buskers Festival approaches its second year with a significant boost.
Tourism Victoria has donated $20,000 to the event, set to run July 20 to 29.
A new addition proposed is a performance stage to be set up each evening on a closed section of Government Street, plus a music stage in Bastion Square.
"Thanks to a significant portion of the local hotel community who have come together to collect additional money for marketing this destination we are able to support this festival that drives overnight visitation for Victoria," said Helen Welch, vice-president of visitor services and market development for Tourism Victoria.
"Getting a free-to-attend international event off the ground is a real struggle," said John Vickers, executive director of the festival society, in a press release.
"The goal in year two is to ensure proper foundations can be established to ensure the livelihood of the festival in subsequent years."

Watch the TV Ads That Triggered Chris Christie's Latest Scandal
On Monday, CNN reported that federal officials are investigating whether New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie misused Hurricane Sandy relief funds to produce tourism ads that functioned as campaign spots when he was running for reelection. The allegations come as Christie is already immersed in scandal after internal emails suggested that a close aide to the governor—who has now been fired—orchestrated a traffic jam near the George Washington Bridge for the sake of political revenge. With the bridge episode now being investigated by the US attorney for New Jersey, this latest news means Christie, a leading potential GOP presidential contender in 2016, is facing two federal probes.
This second investigation focuses on a $25 million radio, television, and web campaign mounted by Christie's administration to promote the Jersey Shore's recovery in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, a project dubbed "Stronger Than the Storm." Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-N.J.), who last summer called for the investigation, claims that Christie awarded this advertising campaign to a firm whose bid was $2.2 million higher than the next lowest bidder—and that Christie favored this company because it would feature him and his family in the ads. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's inspector general notified Pallone late last week that there were sufficient grounds to launch a full investigation.
In May, Democrats criticized Christie for the ads, accusing the governor of using the taxpayer-funded advertisements to boost his political image as he ran for reelection. (Christie was largely praised for how he handled hurricane relief.) Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) also called the ads "offensive," noting that "in New Jersey, $25 million was spent on ads that included somebody running for political office. You think there might be a conflict of interest there?" A Christie spokesman told the Asbury Park Press in August that the the firm that was awarded the contract, MWW, was the best option because it had statewide connections and could get the campaign done quickly.
Word of a new investigation couldn't come at a worse time for Christie. The governor apologized for his administration's role in the Fort Lee traffic snarl last week, but plenty of questions remain, including those related to text messages that may incriminate other Christie aides.
The governor's spokesman, Colin Reed, released a statement on Monday responding to the controversy: "The Stronger Than The Storm [ad] campaign was just one part of the first action plan approved by the Obama Administration and developed with the goal of effectively communicating that the Jersey Shore was open for business during the first summer after Sandy. We're confident that any review will show that the ads were a key part in helping New Jersey get back on its feet after being struck by the worst storm in state history."
Check out two more "Stronger than the Storm" ads featuring Christie and his family:

Ansell Collaborates with DuPont to Make Ultra-Lightweight Gloves with DuPont™ Kevlar® Yarn and Stainless Steel
WILMINGTON, Del., and RED BANK, – DuPont and Ansell, world leaders in protection technologies, have collaborated on Ansell's newest ultra-lightweight and highly cut-resistant gloves to protect workers. The gloves, which feature DuPont™ Kevlar® yarns and Kevlar® in combination with reinforced stainless steel, are part of Ansell's Activarmr® portfolio.
Ansell's range of new products include an 18-gauge lightweight cut-resistant glove, hybrid cut-resistant padded protection gloves and ergonomic durable general purpose gloves that will revolutionize the way gloves are viewed. Ansell's new "Best In Class" gloves are available globally for construction workers and are specifically suited for specialty trade, such as the HVAC, plumbing, heavy labor sectors and general contractors. Other gloves in the portfolio are targeted specifically for use by the military.
"The uses of DuPont™ Kevlar® continue to grow in new, innovative ways. Our collaboration with Ansell is a great example of how Kevlar® can be spun with other materials to make another series of superior products to better protect people around the world," said Thomas G. Powell, president, DuPont Protection Technologies. "This collaboration combined DuPont's fiber and yarn technology with Ansell's innovative glove design, tailored for specific applications. In this case, we developed a new manufacturing process to specifically produce ultra-lightweight steel-containing yarn, used in concert with our decades of experience in nylon, spandex and Kevlar® fibers."
Leveraging Ansell's more than 100 years of industry expertise and innovation in protective gloves, DuPont's decades of experience in fiber and yarn technology and DuPont patents in cut protection, the Ansell ultra-lightweight gloves are made with the latest technologies. They enable increased dexterity, flexibility, a closer sense of touch, stretch recovery and comfort without compromising safety, which is critical for workers who depend on the cut-protection of Kevlar®. Using combinations of Kevlar®, stainless steel, spandex and nylon, the new Activarmr® gloves boast Intercept Technology® in a thin, 18-gauge design that is significantly lighter weight than the traditional 13-gauge version. Intercept Technology® using DuPont™ Kevlar® Stretch Armor was created using a unique combination of Kevlar® fiber and Ansell technology to deliver comfort, dexterity and high cut-resistance.
"Innovation and superior protection are the hallmark of Ansell's hand protection solutions, including our Activarmr® portfolio. We understand that workers in each sector face unique challenges to hand protection, and so each Ansell glove design is backed by months of end-user testing to determine the specific features workers need to protect their hands without compromising productivity," said Thomas Draskovics, president and general manager, Ansell Specialty Markets. "With DuPont, we have developed a unique application of DuPont™ Kevlar® for our Activarmr® gloves that workers across construction sectors can trust to deliver superior protection, comfort and dexterity."
According to a recent U.S. Department of Labor study, injuries to fingers and hands rank highest in workplace accidents (at 27 percent), and hand and finger accidents rank No. 1 in preventable injuries. A recent Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) study stated that more than 70 percent of arm and hand injuries could have been prevented with personal protection equipment (PPE), specifically safety gloves. DuPont and Ansell estimate the global construction market for gloves at more than $800 million annually.
DuPont has Kevlar® and Nomex® manufacturing and R&D facilities around the world, with glove testing facilities in Richmond, Va.; Meyrin, Switzerland; Shanghai, China and in Paulinia, Brazil. This is an example of how the company works closely with its trademark licensed glove manufacturers to develop innovative products with the most advanced materials for the industry.
Ansell is a world leader in providing superior health and safety protection solutions that enhance human wellbeing. With operations in North America, Latin America, EMEA and Asia, Ansell employs more than 10,000 people worldwide and holds leading positions in the industrial and medical gloves market, as well as in the sexual health and wellbeing category worldwide. Ansell operates in four main business segments: Medical Solutions, Industrial Solutions, Specialty Markets and Sexual Wellness. Information on Ansell and its products can be found atwww.ansell.com. For more information on Activarmr® gloves visit: www.activarmr.com.
DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

It looks like Apple is set to release the final version of iOS 5 to its overseas assemblers during the week of September 23rd, prepping it for a mid-October release alongside the iPhone 5.
The overseas assemblers need to get the new software in order to preload it onto new phones before they're shipped, so the timing lines up pretty well. Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 5 within the next couple of weeks, and then release it next month. When the iPhone 5 is released, iOS 5 should be available to download for owners of older iPhones as well. And the circle of life continues.

Last day at Osho...
Trip Start
Sep 01, 2009
Trip End
Oct 05, 2009
Laughter meditation: i think this may be my favorite one! everyone comes into the Osho auditorium and sits on the floor. our guide explains the process and then states, "ok, well let's start laughing!" and all of a sudden, the whole room is filled with laughter. it's quite a show and i'm shocked at the intensity with which people are laughing. i start out laughing a little bit and find myself fascinated by the guy on my right side who has apparently just heard the funniest joke of his life. he's gasping for air, slapping the floor, totally into it. i look around the room and start laughing just at the sheer novelty of it. everyone's laughing a little differently, some quiet and reserved, others just totally out there. the room feels so happy and alive. again, it takes some conscious effort to laugh for 20 minutes, but it feels really good if you let it happen. anytime i run out of funny things to think of, i look around the room and laugh at the girl by the wall who's on her back and kicking her feet in the air. haha. the 2nd stage is 20 min of silence, and lastly, 20 min of dancing. again the dancing feels great, especially with all the positive energy in the room. as i write this i realize that an hour meditation seems pretty long, but it actually goes by really fast..
lastly i attend the Nadabrahma meditation which is designed to create inner harmony and balance within. this consists of 30 minutes of sitting with eyes closed and humming, feeling the vibrations of your voice move through your body. for the next 7 minutes, your hands are moved slowly in front of the abdomen in horizontal circles with palms up, as if giving your energy to the world. the next 7 min your hands are moved in the opposite direction with palms down, taking energy back to your body. the last 15 minutes are of silent sitting with eyes closed. i arrived a little late for this one and missed all of these directions, so i didn't exactly do all of these steps. i just copied what i thought other people were doing. i didn't know we were supposed to hum, and i kind of just put my hands in front of me not knowing why in the 2nd stage. however, i felt the potential of the meditation and still felt really relaxed and could feel some of the energy in my hands during the 3rd stage. after the meditation, i bought the cd in the bookstore so i could practice it properly back home :)
afterwards, i spend some time writing in my journal until i meet up with my friend who hangs out w/ me for my last couple hours. i'm sad to go, especially after meeting such lovely people and because i finally started feeling really comfortable and open there. i feel like i've just hit the tip of the iceberg, and like these 4 days were just a tease. i wish i had a month, or 6 months to spend at the center, which is not unusual for people to do. when i tell people i'm leaving, they smile knowingly and reassure me i'll be back. and i think they're right.. it's natural to have your reservations about the place at first, but if you suspend judgement and you allow yourself to be open to everything and release your inhibitions, you can really feel the benefits of the meditations and the aura of the center as a whole. it's a place where you feel safe and free, and where you know that you're perfectly fine the way you are, and you're encouraged to express all of that. it's a protected place for exploration of yourself. i hope to come back soon..

So, imagine it's time for bed. You've been playing video games all evening long and you're beat. You've brushed your teeth and put on your pajamas. Now the question is: Should you turn off the computer before going to sleep? Would that save a lot of energy? Or, should you just turn off the monitor? Or, how about letting the screen saver take care of things? Would that be better? In this science fair project, you'll find out which parts of your personal computer system (PC) are the most power hungry, and how you can set up your system to reduce its appetite and save energy.
Your computer system, whether desktop or laptop, contains some of the following hardware components:- A monitor or screen
A computer, containing:
- Power supply
- Fan
- One or more hard drives
- A central processing unit or CPU
- Memory
- Video or graphics card (which may have its own CPU, fan, and memory)
Peripheral devices:
- Printer
- Scanner
- CD/DVD writer
At any moment, the amount of power each piece of hardware is consuming depends upon what the hardware is doing (powering up, idling, performing an action, or powering off). For many devices, peak power usage is seen when a device is powering up. This is called transient or changing power usage, and it usually lasts a few minutes at most. After the device powers on and it is idling and waiting to be used, it settles down to a lower power usage state. This lower power state is steady and unchanging and is called steady-state. An example of a power curve with periods of transient and steady-state power usage is shown in Figure 1. Note: you can find more background information about electricity in the Science Buddies Electricity, Magnetism, & Electromagnetism Tutorial.
Figure 1. This is an example of power usage for a device, showing transient and steady-state power consumption
Your computer also contains software, which runs an operating system that manages and coordinates the computer's hardware and actions. Some operating systems are better at managing the computer's resources than others are, and upgrading to a new operating system, even if the hardware components are the same, can sometimes save energy.
Other software programs called applications, such as word processors and media players, can also impact power usage. Applications that work the graphics card or CPU intensely will cause more power consumption than those that do not.
Video games are also one of the most demanding forms of software available, as they require intense computations to create realistic, three-dimensional graphics. Gamers often require high-performance, power-hungry computers that are fast and have special graphics cards that can handle the complex animations.
In this science fair project, you will investigate the power consumption of several hardware components in your PC when they are powering up, idling, or performing an action under the command of software. Which component do you think is the energy hog?

Note: The detailed instructions given below in the PC Power Usage Data Table are for the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system, but the general procedure, as outlined, is applicable to any operating system. For example, you can complete the procedure with Microsoft Windows 98, Mac OS X, or Linux. Consult your computer manual or online resources, such as those listed below, for details:
- For Windows XP support, visit http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/usingwindowsxp.mspx
- For MAC OS X support, visit http://www.apple.com/support/hardware/
- For Linux support, visit http://www.linux.org/docs/
Experimental Setup
- To set up your desktop or laptop computer system for testing, first make sure all hardware components are turned off. This includes the computer, monitor (if you have a desktop system), and any two peripheral devices of your choosing, such as a printer, scanner, speakers, or CD/DVD writer.
Configure the power cords for your hardware, as shown in Figure 2. Plug the power cords for the computer, monitor (if applicable), and any two peripheral devices (if available) into the power strip. Because the Kill A Watt meter has a 15-amp maximum current limit, do not add more than two peripheral devices to avoid exceeding this limit.
Figure 2. This drawing shows how to configure the power cords on an example computer system for power testing. - Plug the Kill A Watt meter into a wall outlet.
- Plug the power strip cord into the Kill A Watt meter.
Testing Your Computer System
- Turn on the power strip.
- Find the power button (Watt) in the center of the Kill A Watt meter, and press it. What value does it show on the display? With everything turned off, it should read zero, unless you are testing a laptop, and it is charging its internal battery, in which case the meter will likely read a low 1-2 watts (W).
Create a data table in your lab notebook like the one shown below. Conduct each action listed and record the peak power you measure with the Kill A Watt meter during the first seconds of the action. Then record the steady-state power you observe after the action has completed and the Kill A Watt meter stops changing. If the Kill A Watt meter continue to oscillate between two numbers during the steady-state time period, average the two numbers, and go on to the next action. Spots in the data table marked with an "X" indicate that you do not need to record the peak power measurement for that action.

If you are testing a desktop system, turn the monitor off using the monitor's power button. If you are testing a laptop, move on to step 3 and test the screen saver. ON OFF OFF X 3. Turn the monitor back on and make the screen go blank with the screen saver after 1 minute. In the Vista operating system, this is done by right-clicking on the background, going to Personalize, and then selecting: Screen Saver, Blank, Wait 1 min, Apply. ON ON OFF X 4. Return the screen saver to its normal settings and adjust the brightness on your monitor to minimum. In the Vista Operating System, this is done by right-clicking on the background, going to Personalize, and then selecting: Screen Saver, Change Power Settings, Adjust the Display Brightness, and Save Changes. ON ON OFF X 5. Adjust the brightness on your monitor to maximum. In the Vista Operating System, this is done as described in step 4. ON ON OFF X 6. Run a disk defragmenter program for a few minutes to exercise the disk to the maximum. For the Vista Operating System, this is done by going to: Start, Programs, Vista Manager, Misc. Utilities, Windows Utilities, Disk Utilities, Disk Defragmenter. ON ON OFF 7. Stop the disk defragmenter, and start up a word processing application. ON ON OFF 8. Close the word processing application and start a video game (you can tell your parents it's in the interest of science, really!). ON ON OFF 9. Close the video game and play a DVD (again, in the interest of science!). ON ON OFF 10. Stop the DVD, and power up one of your peripheral devices (if available); for example, the printer. Write down the name of the peripheral device you are testing right here: _______________________ If you don't have any peripheral devices, move on to step 14. ON ON ON (first peripheral device is on; all others are off) 11. Operate your peripheral device. For example, open up a document and print out a test page on a printer. ON ON ON (first peripheral device is on) 12. Power off your peripheral device and power on a second peripheral device (if available). Write down the name of the peripheral device you are testing now right here: ________________________ If you don't have a second peripheral device, move on to step 14. ON ON ON (second peripheral device is on; all others are off) 13. Operate your second peripheral device. ON ON ON (second peripheral device is on; all others are off) 14. Turn off your second peripheral device, and put your computer in "sleep" mode. In the Vista Operating System, this is done by going by selecting: Start, Shut Down, Sleep, and OK. Sleep mode is a special lower power, standby mode in which the computer turns off the display and hard drives. When you touch your mouse or keyboard after entering sleep mode, your computer quickly "wakes up." Record the steady-state power reading for sleep mode. SLEEP ON until turned OFF by sleep mode. OFF X 15. Get out your stopwatch and start it as soon as you touch the mouse or keyboard to recover from sleep mode. Stop the stopwatch when the screen returns and the mouse is responsive. Record the time to recover from sleep mode here: __________________(sec). This time will be used to see what the trade-off is between power and time for each of the three "shut down" modes: Sleep, Hibernate, and Shut Down. Recovery from SLEEP MODE ON OFF X X 16. Put your computer in "hibernate" mode. In the Vista Operating System, this is done by selecting: Start, Shutdown, Hibernate, and OK. Hibernate mode is a special lower-power standby mode that can be thought of as a deeper state of sleep than sleep mode. Before hibernating, the computer copies system data to a reserved area on the hard drive before completely turning itself off. On recovery from hibernate mode, the computer returns to the same operating state it was in before hibernation was started. HIBER-NATE ON OFF X 17. Zero out the stopwatch, and start it again as soon as you touch the mouse or keyboard. Stop the stopwatch when the display returns, and the mouse is responsive. Record the time to recover from hibernate mode here: ________________(sec) Recovery from HIBER-NATE MODE ON OFF X X 18. Shut down the computer completely. In the Vista Operating System, this is done by selecting: Start, Shut Down, Shut Down, Shut Down, OK. OFF ON OFF X 19. Zero out the stopwatch, and start it again as soon as you power on the computer. Stop the stopwatch when the display returns, and the mouse is responsive. Record the time for a boot up from complete shut down here: _________________(sec) ON ON OFF X X
- You will need to conduct two more trials of your experiment, by repeating the steps in the Power Usage Data Table two more times.
- Create a fourth data table that averages the peak power (if measured), steady-state power, and recovery times you measured in your three trials.
- Plot, in bar chart form, the average peak power (in watts) on the y-axis vs. the test action on the x-axis. You can make the bar chart by hand, or use a website like Create a Graph to make the graph on a computer and print it.
- Plot, in bar chart form, the average steady-state power (in watts) on the y-axis vs. the test action on the x-axis.
- Which hardware component used the most peak power? Which used the most steady-state power? What is the best way to set-up your monitor? At night, do you think it is better to turn off your computer completely, put it in sleep mode, or put it in hibernate mode? What is the time trade-off for each of these modes?

Seattle Animal Shelter offers tips to keep pets safe during warm weather
With the weather expecting to hit 90 degrees this week, the Seattle Animal Shelter reminds pet owners to exercise good judgment and use common sense when it comes to protecting their pets from the summer heat.
"Each summer, the animal shelter receives hundreds of calls about pets locked in cars on hot summer days," says Seattle Animal Shelter Director Don Jordan. "Many pet owners are unaware that cars left in direct sunlight turn into lethal ovens, reaching fatal temperatures of 130 degrees or more within just a few minutes. Even dogs left locked in cars in the shade with the windows cracked on hot days are at risk of brain damage or death. Dogs must cool themselves through panting and their systems can't handle high temperatures."
If you must travel with your pet, Jordan advises carrying water for your pet, and avoiding trips where you have to leave the pet in the car. "It's not worth the risk," he says.
Jordan offers the following tips for protecting pets during hot weather:
- Never leave your animal chained or penned up directly in sunlight. Provide a shady area where the animal can retreat to such as a dog house, porch or shady tree, and always provide cool water.
If you must leave an animal indoors, open the windows, keep a fan running, provide plenty of water, and if possible, leave them in a cool location. - Never leave dogs or cats unattended in a closed, locked car. Temperatures can exceed 130 degrees in a matter of minutes. Animals do not perspire like humans; they cool themselves through their lungs by panting. Hot air can lead to brain damage or death. Also, be aware that vinyl seats in vehicles get hot under animals' feet and prevents them from perspiring through their paws. Remember, with the movement of the sun, a vehicle originally parked in the shade may soon be in direct sunlight.
- Avoid overexerting your animal in hot weather. Exercise is fine when taken in moderation, but obesity, old age, underlying disease and previous bouts of heat stroke can predispose an animal to the condition.
Feathered friends: - Take caution and place the bird's cage away from direct sunlight during the intense heat of the afternoon.
- Provide water and fruits and vegetables with high moisture content.
Pet owners can be held criminally liable for committing cruelty to animals if a pet dies, or is found suffering from heat prostration. If you see an animal that may be in need of assistance or if you have questions, contact Seattle Animal Shelter at (206) 386-PETS.

Zoey (Japanese: ノゾミ Nozomi) is a recurring character of the Pokémon anime. She is a Pokémon Coordinator and Dawn's main rival. She first appeared in Mounting a Coordinator Assault!.
Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details. |
Zoey was first seen in Mounting a Coordinator Assault!, where she made fast friends with Dawn. When Dawn asked her about her career as a Coordinator, she said that she had competed in three Contests and won one. She was the first contestant to appeal in the Jubilife City Pokémon Contest, and the presentation of her Misdreavus took her to the Battle Round. In the following episode, she defeated Ash, Dawn, and Jessilina with her Glameow, winning the Jubilife Contest and earning her second Ribbon. Furthermore, it was revealed in Getting the Pre-Contest Titters! that her first Ribbon was won in a battle against Kenny's Prinplup. She has a Contest Pass for the Sinnoh region.
In Buizel Your Way Out Of This!, Zoey joined Dawn and her friends, who were fishing in a lake on the way to Hearthome City. She told them that she had lost her last Contest and was taking a break. After failing to capture a Buizel, Zoey said that she would continue in the lake to try to capture a Water-type Pokémon.
In A Stand-Up Sit-Down!, she was rescued by Dawn after having sprained her ankle. Upon arriving at her camp, Zoey introduced the group her Shellos, which was captured in the same lake where Dawn caught Buizel. She also showed Dawn a video of a Double Performance, and said that the Hearthome City Contest would follow the rule. When Jessilina appeared and challenged Dawn to a battle, Zoey decided to fight instead. She was able to defeat Jessilina using beautiful and effective combinations.
In Dawn's Early Night!, Zoey met Nando for the first time and met up with Dawn again, but when Nando revealed his decision to participate in both Contests and Gym battles, Zoey said he needed to make up his mind. Later, she faced him in the finals of the Hearthome Contest and lost.
It was revealed in Tag! We're It...! that Zoey suggested Ash to enter Dawn in the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition to give her a confidence boost after not making it into the second round of the Hearthome Contest.
Zoey was largely responsible for the trade of Ash's Aipom and Dawn's Buizel. In Arrival of a Rival!, she first suggested that Ash should give his Aipom to Dawn. In Throwing the Track Switch, she brought it up again, but this time she suggested a trade after she saw how Buizel had more of a love for battling rather than Contests. Ash and Dawn eventually agreed to it and traded their Pokémon.
In Team Shocker!, she was seen watching the Solaceon Town Contest from a Pokémon Center. After seeing Dawn failing to pass the appeals stage, she decided to meet her and tell her where she was going wrong, which she did.
Zoey reappeared in Staging a Heroes' Welcome! to compete in the Wallace Cup. It was revealed that she had captured a Finneon, and the wonderful appeal of the Wing Fish Pokémon took her to the battle stage. In Strategy with a Smile!, she lost to May in the semifinals of the event.
In Playing The Leveling Field!, Zoey was seen battling Fantina. She battled Fantina's Mismagius with her Glameow, but lost. It was also revealed that Shellos helped her earn her third Ribbon.
Zoey appeared again in Classroom Training!, where she welcomed Dawn and her friends to her hometown, Snowpoint City. She was showing the town to them when Candice, the Snowpoint Gym Leader, came up and joined them. It was revealed that Candice is a childhood friend of Zoey and that they went to the same school. Because of this, Zoey often calls her "Ms. Senior". She also appeared in Sliding Into Seventh!, watching Ash's Gym battle with Candice, and again in A Pyramiding Rage!, where she watched Paul's battle against Brandon. She left at the end of the episode with Candice.
Zoey's next appearance was in Double-Time Battle Training!, where she was shown winning her fifth and final Ribbon required for the Grand Festival. She, along with Candice, helped Dawn train for the Daybreak Contest and the two had a Double Battle with Zoey winning. In Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!, she and Candice were seen watching Dawn's performance on TV.
Zoey entered the Sinnoh Grand Festival in Last Call — First Round!, where it was revealed that her Shellos and Finneon had evolved into Gastrodon and Lumineon, respectively. She managed to pass the Appeals Round with the impressive performance of the two aforementioned Pokémon, and in the next episode, she won her first battle at the event. In Coming Full-Festival Circle!, she battled Nando with her Mismagius and Leafeon for a spot in the finals of the competition, this time winning. In A Grand Fight for Winning!, she found herself up against Dawn once again. The two had a hard-fought battle, with Zoey's Glameow and Gallade against Dawn's Piplup and Togekiss. It was clear that the battle could go either way, but when the time ran out, Zoey won by a few points. Having won the Grand Festival, she was awarded the Ribbon Cup as well as the title of Top Coordinator. After the competition, she said that she was going back to Snowpoint City, where Candice was waiting for her with a party to celebrate her victory. She invited Dawn to the party, but she refused saying that she wanted to cheer for Ash in the Sinnoh League. Zoey then said goodbye and left.
She made a cameo appearance in Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
Zoey is very loyal to her friends but has no problem giving them tough criticism when the time calls for it. However if one of her friends is being mistreated, she wastes no time sticking up for them. Such examples include her sticking up for Dawn when she was being made fun of by Jessilina in A Stand-Up Sit-Down!. Despite having a sprained ankle, she still battled in Dawn's defense. She also defended Ash after she felt Paul was being rude to him in A Pyramiding Rage!.
She initially had harsh opinions of people who competed in both Contests and Gym battles, saying they needed to make up their minds. This is seen in her reactions to Ash in Arrival of a Rival! and Nando in Dawn's Early Night!. For that she apologized to Ash for her behavior in Staging a Heroes' Welcome! after realizing that it was good to learn from both types of Trainers. It was revealed in Classroom Training! that the reason for this trait in her character was that while she wanted to be a Top Coordinator, Candice wanted to be a Champion Trainer. They promised each other to follow their goals and as such Zoey looked down on people who did both since she thought they weren't taking them seriously.
Zoey's tough demeanor suggests that she is a tomboy. This is further seen in her short haircut and her choice in Contest outfits, which are stylized suits rather than dresses.
The following are Zoey's known Pokémon:

Glameow is Zoey's main Pokémon. It was first seen in Mounting a Coordinator Assault! when it approached Dawn with her missing choker around its tail. In the next episode it was used in the Jubilife Contest, and managed to take out Ash's Aipom, Dawn's Buneary, and Jessie's borrowed Carnivine, earning Zoey the Jubilife Ribbon. Zoey used Glameow again in the Wallace Cup's semifinal round against May and her Beautifly. However it lost to Beautifly, knocking Zoey out of the competition. It helped Zoey get to the Semi-finals alongside Gastrodon and was a key Pokémon on Zoey's victory in the Sinnoh Grand Festival final against Dawn. | ||

Mismagius made its debut in the start of the Jubilife Contest in Mounting a Coordinator Assault! as a Misdreavus. It made its appeal by coming out of its Poké Ball covered in a purple fog. It was silhouetted in the mist making only its shadow visible, thus making it look much more ominous and frightening.
Misdreavus was later seen in A Stand-Up Sit-Down! searching for someone to help Zoey alongside Glameow. It was also seen defeating a Mothim in the Wallace Cup in Pruning a Passel of Pals!. In Coming Full Festival Circle!, it was revealed to have evolved into a Mismagius since the Wallace Cup. Zoey used it along with her Leafeon against Nando in the Semi-Finals of the Sinnoh Grand Festival where they helped Zoey advance to the final round. Mismagius's known moves are Double Team, Confuse Ray, Shock Wave*, Lucky Chant and Psywave. | ||

Leafeon later reappeared in Coming Full Festival Circle! where it was used by Zoey in the Semi-Finals of the Sinnoh Grand Festival alongside her Mismagius where it went up against Nando's Kricketune and Lopunny. Although Leafeon was weakened by Kricketune's Bug Buzz it was eventually able to strike back thanks to an incredible Aerial Ace-Psywave combination move that allowed it to grow wings and hit back with Leaf Blade. Although it was a hard fought competition, Leafeon and Mismagius were able to secure Zoey her place in the final. Leafeon's known moves are Magical Leaf, Leaf Blade, Double Team, Energy Ball and Aerial Ace. | ||

Paddy Power trans ad falls at last hurdle
Paddy Power advert which asks viewers to 'spot the trans' has been pulled after a flood of complaints
A TV advert which asks viewers to 'spot the trans' at a horse race has been pulled in the UK.
The advert by UK and Ireland bookmaker Paddy Power shows women at the Cheltenham Festival – a prestigious horse race in England – and invites viewers to decide whether they are 'stallions' or 'mares'.
Yesterday, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) launched an investigation after receiving around 500 complaints about the 30-second TV spot, which asks viewers to speculate on the gender of women filmed at the event.
After reportedly holding a crisis meeting this morning, broadcasters and TV advertising watchdog Clearcast decided to stop airing the advert in the country.
A spokesman for Paddy Power said they were 'surprised and disappointed' by the decision.
He said: 'This decision is especially frustrating given that the commercial was already pre-approved by Clearcast, just one week ago, who then considered the humor in the advert, while not to everyone's taste, fell short of causing offence.
'Furthermore, we exclusively cast members of the trans community in the various transgender roles in the commercial.'
According to the spokesman, the bookmakers asked national transgender group The Beaumont Society for feedback on the script and were told there was 'nothing untoward with the advert concept' and was not inappropriate.
Trans activist Jane Fae welcomed the decision but warned 'there may yet be considerable collateral damage.'
She said: 'My complaint about the advert was never about offence but about the danger of a backlash, should the ad be pulled, which could be more damaging.
'The backlash could come from the usual suspects – people who think it's funny to have a go at trans and people who won't accept it's a valid way to be.'
The ASA say they will still continue their investigation, despite the decision to suspend the ad.
