All right.
Then there are the specs here (found via Google):
And judging by the picture + specs it's a
Hyundai Image Quest W152
It is also called "Web Client" or "Thin Client".
My bet would be to take it apart, and if flash memory is something
standard that can be replaced try to put a small linux on a
doublet (just the linux kernel to begin with, you can always
struggle with squeezing a file system into even when it works) and see if the works for example. with syslinux as bootloader.
Does it not so experiments with other bootloaders - and ask if any. for advice linuxbios, it must be experts in the bootloader area.
If / when you provides up to the original flash ram simply buttoned back in place and shit sold to a Windows enthusiast.

Post subject: RAM
Net-booting Puppy needs 2X initrd.gz (the big initrd) for RAM. If what you have is 64MB RAM only, then try a tiny Puppy. If you can put this in the flash storage for booting, that will be good.

@Max Headroom: I've worked on a few of these clients, the desktop ones, not the laptop ones tho.
What you have is NOT a "dumb terminal" -- that would be keyboard, screen, and cabling -- and nothing else. That would also almost certainly be a relic of the 80s at the latest.
What you have is properly a "thin client" -- that is, it does some proper computing/processing within the box or laptop chassis, but most of its work is meant to be done on a server somewhere else, and all it does is hook up and transmit/receive data, interpreting a little along the way. Hence why the hardware specs are appallingly low.
Mine is a nice Neoware CA19. It has a new (ish) VIA Eden CPU running at 800MHz. Compared to a 300MHz geode, that's pretty dang good. I can't say it "runs" Puppy, but Puplite5 operates at a slow walking pace, if you get my drift
Search the forums for "Puplite" if you want to try it. The actual thread title is "Puplite 5.0" I think.
The way I work with my client (and I had practice on one with much lower spec a while back, it crawled) is this: inside the box somewhere is an IDE flash disk module, usually DiskOnChip brand. Pull that out (this can take a little work) and replace it with an IDE->CF adapter from eBay and a CF card. CF of course is CompactFlash. Before booting the system, run gparted on the CF card in another computer and install some sort of really lightweight puppy. Then swap it over.
For this you will want a full install of something REALLY lightweight. Something like Puplite5 (as mentioned) or TurboPup (which has a LOT of quirks). Akita Linux (successor to Puplite) will take longer to boot and be somewhat slower than Puplite5 but it will run.
If you're a DIY type, get goingnuts' pUPnGO and do some dev work. Use the -041210 version on goingnuts' website if you want to avoid having to reintroduce GTK2 -- he's backported GTK1 in for the more recent editions. You will need to add a lot of programs and libs to make it usable as a regular desktop OS, and it will take you a long time to do it, but it IS possible. The downside is: when you are done with all this, you will have something that is not much smaller than Puplite although probably a goodly bit faster.

Post subject:
The processor is not upgradable. It's not really even a CPU -- it's what's called an SoC or SystemOnChip. That is, it's really what would be almost an entire motherboard on one chip.
A standard PC motherboard has a CPU and two other important chips that form what are called the chipset. The purpose of the chipset is to allow the CPU to interface with the rest of the board. The two chips are called the Northbridge and the Southbridge.
The Northbridge contains onboard graphics (where there are any to be had) and manages memory. The Southbridge handles input/output stuff -- everything from PCI to USB to (if it's old enough) LPT and COM ports. It's also what contains the motherboard-side drive controllers -- the part that interfaces the motherboard (and therefore CPU) to the PCB on the HDD or CD drive.
All three chips, AND usually some small RAM (as CPU cache) and ROM (BIOS and bootstrap instructions) are contained within a single chip when you're talking about an SoC.
Trouble is, this particular SoC has been out of production since the end of 2007. Information is rather scarce, which tells me that it wasn't exactly the most popular of chips. My best guess, based on two references that I found, is that the most RAM you can stuff in there is 64mb. It will have to be a PC100 SODIMM, and you only get one slot. (If I'm wrong, it will take PC133 and you can fit 256mb.)
There is a small possibility that the RAM is not upgradable at all, in which case you're just stuck with 32mb. If that turns out to be the case, you're looking at a build-up of pUPnGO for your OS -- and you'd better cross your fingers that it will still work in that tiny RAM space once you're done making it useful (at which point it will be likely at least 50mb in ISO size)!
The other tricky bit is that IIRC goingnuts took the remaster tool out of pUPnGO -- your best bet then is a two-step process. First build up pUPnGO working from CD or an install on another PC and keep very careful track of what you are doing. Then, on a third PC (or the second one with multiple frugal installs) you need to run sc0ttman's Woofy tool (an enhanced remaster tool, it's available on the forum or in Puplite and IIRC Akita as well) and copy over all the PETs and libs and mucking around in the filesystem that you did. (Hence the bit about taking good notes!)
Good luck.

Post subject:
Hanbit (the RAM company) is a little special. They don't seem to have just a list of specs on a website -- they actually publish(ed) a datasheet for it, like you'd expect for a chip rather than a PCB.
Datasheet (viewer in HTML page) here -->
Yours has a -13 suffix so it is PC133. You can most likely get a 256mb SODIMM of that speed off eBay. Avoid anything that calls itself "ECC", "Registered", or "EDO" -- they will not work. Also make sure that you are buying from a source within your country -- waiting a month AND paying customs duties is a real pain just for a stick of RAM!
This is an example of what you should get -- but DON'T buy this exact one UNLESS you're in the States.
Depending on your customs offices' thoroughness, you may be able to tell a Hong Kong company to "mark as gift" which avoids the import duties -- HOWEVER there are two very large disadvantages here: (1) the practice is universally illegal (hence the line about how good customs is) and (2) it doesn't get it to you any faster! In the US it is well known that our Coast Guard (under which Customs operates, IIRC) only inspects about 5% of incoming shipments from overseas, so this is quite easy to sneak past. I would say that if, where you live, they are at all better than that, don't take the risk.
...back to talking tech. You see that pin header with the black box around it? The one marked "CN204"? That is a 44pin IDE connector for (more commonly) a notebook or laptop hard drive. Here it almost certainly attaches to a DiskOnChip module or similar flash disk. If you do a little work you can attach a CF->IDE adapter (as I've mentioned previously) and a cheap compactflash card to it. You want one of two things, depending on space: (1) a short cable (ebay search: "44 ide cable") and a 44pin adapter (ebay: "cf ide 44") that has a MALE end (pins coming out the back) OR (2) no cable and a 44pin adapter (ebay: "cf ide 44 female" with a right-angle female connector on the bottom.
For (1) --
short cable
For (2) --
DON'T order these - they will come from China or Hong Kong! Just look at the picture and order the same thing from a (re)seller within your country.
If you're in the US, I actually have a pair of CF adapters that work for (2). If not, I'm afraid that I don't have the money to ship internationally so you're out of luck -- for a package from me, not for eBay of course!
A CompactFlash of 8gb or 16gb size should be enough here, get a 32mb if you like to download lots and lots of pictures or something. DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT get that card from eBay -- the eBay people hawking those tend to hawk stuff with really cheap chips in it that die the day after it arrives in the mail (or worse -- a couple weeks or months down the road!). What they are doing is putting almost dead chips OR chips not really meant for flash media storage into these cards. They expire incredibly quickly as mentioned. If you are in the States or Canada, go to Newegg[dot]Com -- I simply cannot recommend them more highly for computer parts.
EDIT: if you want a 4gb CF card AND you are in the States, I can send you that and the adapter under case (2) (above -- that's the right-angle female one) for free. They don't weigh enough for me to bother with charging shipping. It'd be less than a dollar.

that is NEVER a jumper thing.
The tough bit is that I've no idea /which/ key. I can find little if any info on that system. None except for what's posted, in fact.
I can tell you that it won't be a-z or 0-9 keys. Common keys are DEL and F1-F12.

The trick with the keys is to press them repeatedly from the very second you press the power button until either it starts loading an OS or it gives you a setup screen.
Sometimes it's a weird combo, like Shift+F10 or something.
PC100 doesn't usually work in 133 systems IIRC. Could be wrong though.

My emphasis is on a dialogue-driven and comparative introduction for the language to draw out a common ground and familiarize possibly daunting differences. I also enjoy asserting that German is often underestimated as a rewarding second language to study.
I taught German in the language lab of a community college, for special needs students, and for private agencies, such as Creative Support, Berlitz Languages, and Tutor Doctor.
I grew up bilingual English and German, attending an international school from a very young age. I attended, also, a German public secondary school, where I earned a diploma, and I completed German credits at the college level.
I have experience teaching German literature, elementary German, and German grammar. I lived in Germany for over 18 years. Possibly the only dedicated PhD for E-Learning on the TakeLessons server, I am member of the Association for Language Learning, located in ...

What is my approach? First of all, I listen carefully. I believe it is important for an excellent job to know precisely what my client wants to accomplish. Understanding this is the prerequisite to reach the goals of the student. There will be a permanent interaction between my client and myself to monitor the progress, eventually speed up the tempo or, if necessary, to slow down.
There is no dogma; there is only one main criterion: success.

DETROIT -- Viktor Mizo is all smiles and speaks fluent English as he explains why the Republic of Macedonia would be an excellent spot to build an auto parts plant.
Mizo can rattle off his country's virtues -- low wages averaging about $500 a month, 97 percent literacy, universal English-language instruction and business incentives that European Union members "just can't give anymore" -- faster than you can take his business card.
As CEO of the Directorate for Technological Industrial Development Zones, Mizo and three staffers were at the Automotive News World Congress this week to drum up investment.
Macedonia is serious about the automotive industry. At Automotive News Europe in Munich, I started getting calls from the country's minister of investment in 2006 urging me to visit him in Skopje. Then he would admit no auto plants had come yet.
Seven years later, Macedonia has 50 parts plants, including Johnson Controls, and 2,500 auto jobs -- and Mizo has a directorate, staff and a travel budget.
It wasn't Mizo's considerable charm that held my attention, but a sense of déjà vu. The laundry list of Macedonia's advantages and one-sentence dismissals of specific rival countries — if I closed my eyes and swapped place names, I might as well be back in Ladislav Glogar's office in the Czech Republic in 2004.
Glogar, then chairman of supplier Autopal, was a week into the European Union's 10-country expansion and in overdrive mode wooing German automakers. Glogar simultaneously touted Czech wages as a fifth of Germans' while discounting even lower Indian and Chinese wages. He had a lovely "cost of distance" argument about the fragility and recovery time of long supply lines.
Almost a decade later, Czech auto parts making is booming. And Mizo and his counterparts from Morocco and Tunisia to Moldova want some of it.
Mizo keeps it punchy.
"Now Czech wages are too high to be a low-cost country.
"Wages are low in Moldova, but it has no middle managers so for a 1,500-worker plant you must hire 25 ex-pats.
"Tunisia's too politically unstable.
"Morocco can supply Spain and Portugal, but for Central Europe it's too far west."
Macedonia is a Vermont-sized nation of 2 million on Greece's northern border. To Mizo, that's just down the shiny multilane highway from Germany. To Glogar, of course, Macedonia is 1,000 miles away while the Czech Republic borders Germany.
Forget the arguments. Here's my take.
Just nine years after the EU expanded eastward, the new EU is developing a strong middle class, and the low-wage auto-parts frontier has shifted to eastern Europe and north Africa.
The same powerful economic forces of auto manufacturing that helped create the developed world keep spreading further afield. If you look closely, you can watch the nation-building influence of the auto industry at work, even as far afield as Macedonia.

Tuesday, 22 April 2014 07:46 AM
Video streaming service Netflix on Monday became the most visible company with a business relationship with Comcast to oppose the No. 1 cable operator's $45.3 billion merger with Time Warner Cable.
"It's more in the public interest to either not have them merge or if the government goes ahead with it, to at least put some significant merger agreements, settlements in there," Netflix Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings said in a webcast following the company's quarterly results.
Netflix added in a quarterly letter to shareholders that Comcast would control access to broadband in a majority of U.S. homes while also having "anticompetitive leverage" to charge arbitrary fees on companies that rely on its Internet service.
Until now, the only vocal advocates calling for an outright rejection of Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger had been public interest and consumer groups such as Public Knowledge and the Consumers Union, as well as Senator Al Franken, a Minnesota Democrat who has often opposed media concentration.
Netflix has tussled with the cable operator in recent months over the speed Comcast delivers the online streaming service to its cable customers. In February, Netflix struck a deal to pay Comcast for faster online delivery of its movies and TV shows through a practice known as interconnection, after customers complained about slow service.
While Netflix and Comcast announced the news in a joint statement that sounded friendly at the time, just a month later, Netflix's Hastings blasted Comcast for charging these interconnection fees in a blog post.
In an interview with Reuters on Monday, the Netflix executive said he favors the federal government imposing "some enduring form of no-fee interconnect" if the merger is approved by regulators.
Comcast quickly responded with a lengthy statement.
"Netflix's opposition to our Time Warner Cable transaction is based on inaccurate claims and arguments," the cable operator said. "There has been no company that has had a stronger commitment to openness of the Internet than Comcast."
The cable operator noted that, as part of its 2011 acquisition of NBC Universal, it is the only Internet provider that is legally bound to follow the U.S. Federal Communications Commission' net neutrality rules.
Comcast charged that Netflix is using the interconnection argument to "shift its costs from its customers to all Internet customers, regardless of whether they subscribe to Netflix or not."
Netflix's decision to publicly oppose Comcast's plan to merge with Time Warner Cable may give the company headaches when it makes its case to the Justice Department that their deal is legal under antitrust law, said Allen Grunes, an antitrust expert with Geyer Gorey LLP law firm.
"The significance here is that we know from the (2011) Comcast NBCU deal that DOJ (Justice Department) was worried about Netflix," said Grunes. "I suspect that Netflix has a whole bunch of information and concerns that could support DOJ bringing a case because this is the person whose business is placed at risk."
Critics of the merger say that a bigger, more powerful Comcast would have the power to throttle Internet traffic.
Since announcing its bid for Time Warner Cable in February, Comcast has underscored that the merger combines two companies that do not directly compete in any markets, meaning no consumer would lose a choice of an Internet or cable provider.
It has argued that Time Warner Cable's customers would see a boost in quality of their services and Internet speeds.

Branson, Mo. – The annual Branson soccer tournament is always a great place to be to watch competitive soccer, and this past weekend's tournament was no different.
The Osage Lady Indians made the trip down to take on Webb City on Friday night, and despite a hard-fought match, the Indians fell in a 2-1 loss.
Webb City jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead with a goal in the first three minutes of play, and tacked on another for a 2-0 lead going into the half.
After almost 16 minutes of play in the second half, Alexa Pittenger managed to put the Lady Indians on board, assisted by Savannah Foster.
Although the Lady Indians took 12 shots on goal, they couldn't get another goal in to tie the game, falling by just one goal.
Vanessa Webber finished the game with one saved shot, while giving up two in the net.
The girls started the day off on Saturday by bouncing back to defeat Marshfield in a 7-0 shutout. Osage's girls took 22 shots on goal, and had six different players score in the game.
Alexa Pittenger led the team with two goals, while Savannah Foster, Cassidy Culver, Morgan Breneman, Katie Kostuke and Monica Cisar.
Vanessa Webber and the defense allowed no shots on goal.
The Lady Indians' final game of the tournament came on Saturday afternoon against the Parkview Lady Vikings, who managed to knock off the Lady Indians with a 3-1 win.
Osage's lone goal was scored by Cassidy Culver.
Osage's Monday night match against Warrensburg saw the resilient Lady Indians recover once again from a loss, this time winning with a 3-0 shutout.
The Lady Indians are now 14-5 this season, with the Camdenton Tournament ahead of them this coming weekend.
The Camdenton Lady Laker soccer team fell to 11-3-1 on the season after losing Monday night 4-2 to Jefferson City. The Lady Jays, who are currently ranked 5th in the state in class 3 have only allowed two goals all season in regulation and came in to the contest 12-1-1.
Camdenton took an early lead when senior Whitney Snow was able to deftly settle a Jefferson City goal kick, take a touch, and hit a bomb in from 27 yards that hit the bottom of the crossbar and deflected into the net.
"Snow's goal was one of the better high school goals I have seen in a while," noted Camdenton coach J.D. Hunter. "She hit a dart that I don't think anyone could have stopped."
At the twenty minute mark of the first half, Camdenton scored again, this time off of a penalty kick from Snow which was the result of a Lady Jay foul on junior forward Madison Henry in the box.
"Morgan Henry played a real nice ball to her sister in the penalty area and after Madison ran on to it, she and a Jefferson City defender got tangled up and the defender got a little too much of Madison's ankle in the play."
With the score now 2-0 in favor the Lady Lakers, the Jefferson City team turned the tide quickly and scored two goals before the end of the first half making it 2-2 at the intermission.
"Obviously, you hate to give up goals late in the half, and we have no excuses except for poor execution and technique and that's on us coaches. We'll figure things out and keep working in practice on some things and see where the day takes us."
Camdenton's offensive prowess stalled in the second half and Jefferson City was able to find the back of the net two more times to earn the 4-2 victory and almost guarantee of the number one seed in District 10 where Camdenton hopes to be able to have another chance against the Lady Jays.
"Jefferson City is a quality program with a very large pool of talent from which to choose and we know that we'll have to keep working harder and smarter if we want to get past them in the future. But that is what makes the game so much fun though is that each match is completely different. I'm anxious to see how the team bounces back from this loss. It stung a little bit, but sometimes that stinging sensation is a good thing to experience."
Camdenton gets back to work on their Ozark conference schedule on Tuesday as they travel to Springfield Parkview before a few days of rest and then their 7th Annual Central Missouri Soccer Tournament on May 2nd and May 3rd.

I was impressed with the movie up until the climax scene. In fact while in middle of the gladiatorial scene in the rather strange second-half of the movie, I truly believed that the reviews were unfair to the movie (I still think they are to a certain extent). Selvaraghavan shows enormous amount of talent and creativity but has no discipline in sticking to one idea or story at a time. That climax scene, especially when sane men/woman with guns start dressing up in kavacha-kundalam, was the last straw that broke the backbone of my tolerance. Every listener expects a certain amount of discipline from the story teller. And there is very little discipline in this movie. Selvaraghavan reminded me of my father's bedtime stories to children. It starts with superman and spiderman, but soon they join forces with Hanuman and then Rajinikanth makes an appearance somewhere with some fair doses of Gavaskar and Indian Army thrown in. This movie is somewhat like that.
However, the movie has a very powerful tone and packs a strong narrative. It lingers on your mind for a while after you see it. Selvaraghavan is not known for his subtlety. He does not serve us nuanced stuff cut out precisely with a surgical knife. He takes an axe and beats us with a lot of rawness. So he is likely to evoke extreme reactions from audiences depending on whether you like this kind of rawness of not. I liked most of it. Some of the million ideas he undercooked in this movie were pretty good. The entire first half was very engaging. Now that I think about it Pudhupettai , another movie I loved from Selvaraghavan, was a also a case of good first half and an eccentric second half. I loved the eccentricities of Pudhupettai's second half than those of this movie. Having said that, I did enjoy this movie's second half because it woke me up from the coma caused by the medicority of recent thamizh movies. I only wished that he had shown more discipline to limit the second half to one or two ideas. In fact I think this movie would have been much better if he did not get the finances to make a mega budget movie.
Two other flaws that contributed to making an average movie out of this excellent concept with patches of awesomeness is (a) Casting and (b) needless CGI. To put it bluntly: women as an archaeologist and Army officer, that too in Thamizh cinema, look more irritating than funny. Thamizh cinema is the only place where you either have a boring Nasser as a psychiatrist/science-man/doctor or its straight to the other extreme where someone hot like Nayanthra etc plays a slutty psychiatrist. Reema Sen's introductory scene is unbelievable for its cheesiness and needless bandha. She does not fit that role at all. Neither does Andrea. Because they aren't regular women, they are 1.5 hot chics (Andrea isn't that hot..sorry) who can't speak the language. While I am okay with them stripping down, peeing in a vessel and sexing up Karthi etc, I am not taking their 'i only shoot with 2 pistols' military role and 'ola chuvadi' reading skills thing seriously. If Selvaraghavan had real integrity, he would have put a very good actor in both those roles and found a different way to get sexy chics some screen time. On performances, Karthi plays a role that connects the common movie goer to the characters in the movie. His character keeps the show very interesting and in the process he probably earns himself some star value.
The second flaw is graphics. I am not referring to the poor quality of the graphics shown in this movie. But to the fact that the director did not need them to get his desired impact. Whatever came floating out of the water was more funny than scary. Reminded me that good movie making is not about showing such creatures but making the audience feel them. Once you have fast-forward type scenes to make slow-moving chics appear as if they are quick moving action stars, you can be assured that the movie is doomed. Many times when these CGI thing appeared, I thought that Selvaraghavan could have clearly avoided this and still got the desired effect via some other way. This movie made me a little sad though. It had aspects that are underreprsented in Thamizh movies and those aspects are really entertaining to watch. To see them mixed with so much nonsense is extremely sad. I would recommd the movie though. It was never boring for a moment. I liked it.

Hollywood's friendship with Facebook is showing signs of strain.
The entertainment industry was among the first to embrace the Silicon Valley phenomenon. Studio executives thought the giant social network held great promise in reaching moviegoers for less money than traditional advertising such as trailers and TV ads. Facebook's origins even became fodder for the 2010 Academy Award-winning movie "The Social Network."
These days, major studios are taking a hard look at the cost of winning friends on Facebook. Some industry executives are increasingly skeptical that Facebook ads and promotional campaigns that ask users to "like" a movie can deliver big box-office returns.

"For people who are actually looking at the research and are looking for return on investment, for metrics that indicate specifically what Facebook's role is in the movie marketing equation, the jury's still out," said Jim Gallagher, a movie marketing consultant who formerly oversaw marketing for Walt Disney Studios.

Cincy Group Thanks Pat and Chris Whiteby Tom Runge • January 16, 2013 Share:
A great crowd welcomed Pat and Chris White to the Annual Cincinnati dinner – the largest group we've seen in several years. The turnout included several young men and their families – this was their introduction to Wabash and her alumni. Hopefully we'll see all of them in the fall!
Before dinner, Trustee Roger Billings '59 and Bill Augspurger '64 welcomed the attendees and also shared emcee duties throughout the evening. Dean Steve Klein introduced our prospective students who in-turn told the group about themselves and then introduced their families.
Following the traditional Montgomery Inn dinner, Roger Billings introduced Dr. Brett Coldiron '78 who shared the impact Wabash College had on his life. Dr. Coldiron mixed humor with seriousness in a way that made his experiences personal and profound.
President Pat White began by thanking everyone for being there. He then talked about what makes Wabash College special. As an opening, he pointed out that his wife Chris has been a engaged and active first lady. Chris has been a great supporter of Wabash but her impact has also reached into Crawfordsville and the surrounding areas. In essence, Chris has lived and modeled the Wabash mission statement of thinking critically, acting responsibly, leading effectively, and living humanely.
President White recounted some of the challenges of the past seven years but in a way that highlighted the achievements of the Wabash community during that period. He leave's Wabash well positioned to continue to make great strides in the coming years.
White also explained to the young men considering Wabash the impact the College can have on their lives. That message was reinforced by the alumni in the room.
The Cincinnati Group presented Pat and Chris with a book of the works of famous Ohio designer Charley Harper entitled: Charley Harper's Animal Kingdom - New!
Many thanks to Roger Billings '59 and Bill Augspurger '64 for putting together a great evening. Thanks as well to Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Steve Klein and Admissions Counselor Jordan Carlson for bringing a great group to the dinner.

Test Laboratory for Transformer Materials

Test Laboratory for Transformer Materials
Test laboratory for transformer materials
Do you know the chemical age of your transformer? Well we do!
There are numerous complementary methods for diagnosing the transformer ageing process early and reliably. The Siemens Test Laboratory for Transformer Materials is completely focused on the laboratory diagnostics of oil-filled electrical equipment. The highly qualified personnel are constantly developing new methods for ageing diagnostics and are using this knowledge for the benefit of our customers.
Accredited as an independent test laboratory in accordance with ISO 17025 (Certificate)
Our services include insulating oil and material testing. The diagnostic test procedures vary between ageing analysis or condition detection of oils /insulating materials and the new state assessments of oils /insulating materials.
The lifespan of a transformer largely depends on the ageing of the solid and liquid organic insulating materials. In normal operating conditions, below the maximum permissible load, and with regular maintenance and care, a transformer's lifespan can be extended to well over 30 years.
Nevertheless, during the working life of a transformer abnormal events could occur, for example transient over voltages, overheating during emergency operation, dynamic stress and faults in the cooling. These processes result in an accelerated ageing of the transformer materials.
Whether it is a case of new construction, operation, retrofit or repair, it is always a matter of reliably recognizing material degradation and rectifying it. For this purpose an extensive knowledge of the materials as well as a specific, precise analysis is fundamental. In order to avoid costly breakdowns, minimize downtimes and extend the lifespan of a transformer, the performance of a regular trend analysis and targeted maintenance are indispensable.
The combination of moisture in the oil and in the cellulose is an indicator of ageing. The most important method for the diagnosis of the ageing process as a result of dielectric, thermal, dynamic and chemical ageing in oil and oil-paper insulation is the Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA). The Siemens Test Laboratory for Transformer Materials offers a comprehensive service, from the collection of samples to analysis and assessment.
The sampling device, developed in collaboration with the customers, offers the following advantages:
During the mostly decades-long service life of a transformer, materials too are subjected to considerable ageing processes. Through our tests we are able to determine the condition of the materials, and offer our clients the possibility to plan any necessary maintenance measures early.
Analyses of solid insulating materials, conductive metallic materials (grain-oriented electrical steel and copper materials) as well as coating materials and sealing materials, are carried out.
Service Information
Outside coating materials are used as corrosion protection for tanks, radiators, coolers and other construction parts. Interior coatings on the other hand are used to protect the transformer from possible metal particle contamination.
The main coating materials used are environmentally friendly. These can be for example, water-based, "High Solid" or cathodic dip coating.
In the Material Testing Laboratory we inspect the condition of the coating using the following procedures:

On June 26, the Vatican issued a working document, called an instrumentum laboris, for the October 2014 extraordinary Synod of Bishops on the family that was announced by Pope Francis last year to deal with the pressing "pastoral challenges of the family in the context of evangelization." The document sets the agenda for the discussions among the bishops who will gather in Rome, and rather than focusing exclusively on the issue of the divorced and remarried as many in the media had assumed, the bishops instead will confront a vast array of problems, challenges and concerns.
In November, the synod's leadership under then-Archbishop (now Cardinal) Lorenzo Baldisseri sent out 39 questions to the world's episcopal conferences to assess the knowledge and acceptance of the Church's teachings on marriage and the family and various cultural obstacles to their adherence. The responses informed the key topics for the synod, although some media outlets erroneously interpreted the questions as a way for the Vatican to poll Catholics on whether the Church should change her teachings on divorce and remarriage and sexual morality.
As with any working document for a synod, the 75-page instrumentum is very straightforward. The discussion of family life is presented in three parts: "Communicating the Gospel of the Family in Today's World," "The Pastoral Program for the Family in Light of New Challenges" and "An Openness to Life and Parental Responsibility in Upbringing." Beneath the general sounding categories, the bishops' agenda covers some of the most important and controversial challenges for the modern family, such as abortion, contraception, same-sex marriage, and divorced and remarried Catholics. The bishops are realistic in their assessment but not pessimistic.
The first part, for example, considers the Church's teachings on God's plan for marriage and the family, but it notes the diverse acceptance of Church teaching and some of the reasons for the difficulty in their acceptance among the faithful, most so on moral issues. Based on survey results, there is "a want of an authentic Christian experience, namely, an encounter with Christ on a personal and communal level," as well as assorted conflicts and influences, from the mass media to the hedonistic culture caused by "selfish liberalization of morals" and what Pope Francis decries is a "'culture of waste' and a 'culture of the moment.'"
The tone becomes even more sober in the second part, with its focus on pastoral challenges facing the family, "such as the crisis of faith, critical internal situations, external pressures and other problems."
The bishops see the urgency of what they term the "crisis in faith and family." This crisis entails "the break-up and breakdown of families," the effect of long work hours and poor wages, violence and abuse, wars, migration, consumerism and individualism, and disparity of cult. Even more urgent are the "difficult pastoral situations" that touch on the thorniest and most controverted aspects of the Church's encounter with modernity: cohabitation, separated and divorced couples, divorced and remarried Catholics — including how the Church handles marriage cases — teen and single mothers, canonically irregular situations, non-believers or non-practicing Catholics who wish to marry, same-sex unions and transmission of the Faith to children in those unions.
In speaking forthrightly about the whole situation of divorced and separated Catholics as well as the divorced and remarried, the instrumentum notes the various responses from around the world that better pastoral care is badly needed. And while much of the conversation in recent months has been about divorced and remarried Catholics, the document laments that more attention must be given to separated and divorced persons who have not remarried. "Oftentimes," the document says, "these people seem to have the added suffering of not being given proper care by the Church and thus overlooked."
Tied closely to divorce and remarriage are the many responses requesting that the canonical processing of marriage cases be streamlined.
At the same time, the instrumentum gives voice to those urging caution in streamlining or reducing the process. There is concern whether it is possible to deal with this matter through a judicial process only, that there might be injustices and errors, the possible impression that "the indissolubility of the sacrament is not respected" or "the mistaken idea that an annulment is simply 'Catholic divorce.'" There is, nevertheless, a wide consensus for better pastoral training for those involved in any ministry to the divorced and separated.
On the issue of the shifting definition of marriage in modern society, the document declares that while every episcopal conference opposes same-sex legislation, the bishops also are striving to find "balance between the Church's teaching on the family and a respectful, non-judgmental attitude towards people living in such unions."
The withering impact of secularization and relativism as well as the failure to teach the Faith fully is seen powerfully in the third part of the instrumentum with its desire for Catholic couples to be open to life. Many couples today generally do not consider the use of contraceptive methods to be a sin, and the solutions rest in making Humanae Vitae better known, encouraging married couples to have children and promoting situations of work and prosperity that allow Catholics the sense of freedom to procreate.
Pope Francis wants the deliberations at the synod to be open and for the bishops to participate actively in discussions. The instrumentum, then, is not the end of deliberations but a diagnosis of the present situation with some clear directions based on the questions sent around the whole Church.
The survey was valuable, and it points to the need to preach the Gospel of the family in the present day, crafting a better response to the new challenges and assisting "parents in developing a mentality of openness to life."
A reading of the instrumentum reveals no call for changing the teachings of the Church but making those teachings more faithful.
For very good reason, then, the extraordinary synod has been entrusted to the Holy Family, which "is to be contemplated in every family situation so as to draw light, strength and consolation."

Saudi Arabia provides US$5m for displaced in PakistanMay 3, 2011
Riyadh – The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has provided US$5,397,300 to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for efforts in Pakistan to assist those uprooted in recent years.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed yesterday between the Saudi Fund for Development and UNDP will channel funds towards community infrastructure restoration and rehabilitation where populations have been displaced in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The restoration and rehabilitation work includes about 279 kilometres of important roads, 98 kilometres of village streets, 122 small bridges, 199 culverts and 168 channels.
The MoU was signed in Riyadh by Yousef Ibrahim Al-Bassam, SFD Vice Chairman and Managing Director, and Riyad Mussa Al-Ahmad, UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative.
The Saudi Fund for Development was established by royal decree to participate in financing development projects, assigning priorities to least developed, low-income countries. UNDP has been in Saudi Arabia since 1965, providing technical assistance to help the Kingdom achieve its development goals.

Awesome job! I love the family photos too. Natali looks a lot like my cousin Renae did at that age.

Those are the best photos of Natali I've seen.
My quads are killing me. They tend to go in ultras, so I've been trying to work hills, do sprints and push in long runs... all of which make them ache. And then there's the snow shoveling.

BATAVIA, OHIO - The Clermont County recorder's office is taking steps to make it easier for people to research family trees or the history of a house.
This week, Deborah Hall Clepper, who became recorder in January, asked officials in the county's 14 townships, 11 villages and various private cemeteries to provide copies of burial records and maps.
Clepper also hopes to soon make available public field notes, drawings and bearings of surveys for township, village and private projects. She agreed to accept copies of such private records, made by retired or deceased surveyors, from the Southwestern Chapter of the Professional Land Surveyors of Ohio.
That could make the recorder's office a central location for researchers.
"This office has so much to offer," Clepper said. "We're real excited to be able to work with the different historians (and) genealogy societies."
While the recorder is supposed to maintain public documents, Clepper's office at 101 E. Main St. in Batavia is doing more than required by law.
"We love them for it," said Pam Smith, a trustee of the Clermont County Genealogical Society.

FAIRHAVEN — Supreme Perfection Dance Studios owner Kassandra Lynn-Gonsalves learned at a young age about the challenges faced by foster children, an insight that led her to found the charity "Good Night Sleep Tight."
FAIRHAVEN — Supreme Perfection Dance Studios owner Kassandra Lynn-Gonsalves learned at a young age about the challenges faced by foster children, an insight that led her to found the charity "Good Night Sleep Tight."
Now she hopes to raise money for the organization with an event featuring "Dance Moms" star Chloe Lukasiak, to be held Friday at Lynn-Gonsalves' 67 Huttleston Ave. studio.
Lori Truehart, Lynn-Gonsalves' mother and president of the organization, said her daughter came up with the idea for the charity at the age of nine when she read a story about how foster children had to carry their few belongings in trash bags when they were moved from home to home.
"I decided that I wanted to do something about it," Lynn-Gonsalves said.
At her 10th birthday party, Lynn-Gonsalves asked her guests to help her decorate pillowcases to be filled with such items as stuffed animals so the children would never be alone, address books so they could keep in touch with friends, and toys. The pillowcases were then delivered to the state's Department of Children and Families.
Truehart said that in the nine years since that birthday party, more than 10,000 pillowcases have been donated.
She pointed out that many foster children lack stability in their lives. "There's children out there that don't know where they're going to sleep at night," she said.
To raise money for the charity, there will be a meet-and-greet session from 3 to 6 p.m. that will include an autographed photo with Lukasiak and a bracelet from Lukasiak's "Glitzy Girl" line of jewelry. There will also be a VIP party held from 2 to 3 p.m. featuring a question-and-answer session, as well as refreshments.
Glitzy Girl will sell a "Good Night Sleep Tight" charm at the event to benefit the charity, as well as another charm benefitting family members of Sandy Hook victims.
For ticket information on the event, visit www.dancemoms.eventbrite.com. Anyone interested in more information about Good Night Sleep Tight can contact Truehart at 508-287-1907 or email@example.com.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.—1 Corinthians 15:58
It is good to come to the understanding that while God wants us to be holy and Spirit-filled, He does not expect us to look like Abraham or to play the harp like David or to have the same spiritual insight given to Paul.
All of those former heroes of the faith are dead. You are alive in your generation. A Bible proverb says that it is better to be a living dog than a dead lion. You may wish to be Abraham or Isaac or Jacob, but remember that they have been asleep for long centuries, and you are still around! You can witness for your Lord today. You can still pray. You can still give of your substance to help those in need. You can still encourage the depressed.
I hope you have not missed something good from God's hand because you felt you did not measure up to Gideon or Isaiah. In this your generation, give God all of your attention! Give Him all of your love! Give Him all of your devotion and faithful service! You do not know what holy, happy secret God may want to whisper to your responsive heart. Jesus, Author of our Faith, 72.
"Father, I commit myself to faithfulness today. I don't have the great gifts of these 'former heroes of the faith.' But You've given me life today; You've given me the gifts You want me to have and use; You've called me by Your grace to serve You. I give it all to You today. Amen."

Former White House IP Czar Immediately Jumps Ship To Microsoft-Driven Anti-Piracy Lobbying Group BSA
from the shameful dept
As you may recall, every year the BSA puts out a laughably ridiculous "global piracy study" that argues every infringing copy should count as a "lost sale." The BSA has a long history of using those reports to mislead the public and policy makers. The BSA also has a long history of raiding companies, tying them up in ridiculous "audits" where if you can't find the specific paperwork for the software you licensed years ago, you may be forced to pay huge sums. The organization has been widely criticized for the practices which often push small businesses to the edge of bankruptcy just because they can't find the right paperwork. The program also relies on bribing employees and former employees to rat out their companies based on completely bogus promises of payouts of "up to $1 million," when they almost never pay out more than $5,000. We once promised to pay out "up to $1 million" if anyone could prove a BSA $1 million payout. We never had to pay out a dime.
The BSA also, of course, was a strong supporter of SOPA until Microsoft realized that its users were angry and that SOPA might cause tremendous problems for the internet... and magically, the BSA suddenly changed its mind. The BSA has always had a close relationship with the federal government, of course. For years, its "anti-piracy" efforts were run by Neil MacBride who, like Espinel, once worked for Joe Biden. MacBride left the BSA after President Obama was elected to become the a top Justice Department official, later switching to become the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virgnia, where he's been involved in a number of high profile cases, including those involving copyright enforcement -- such as the case against Kim Dotcom and Megaupload. Just last week MacBride announced he was stepping down.
It is worth noting that, while I often disagreed with the position of the administration and Espinel on IP enforcement issues, she was much more willing to actually listen to complaints and have pretty open and wide ranging discussions on the issues. In the time she was in office, she was more than willing to reach out and discuss concerns and complaints that I and others had raised about the administration's positions, and some of her more recent efforts showed that she was certainly willing to take such constructive criticism into account. I hope that she will be willing to do the same in this new position, but I have concerns, since the role is not about pushing for the most effective policy position, but the one that benefits a few giant legacy companies the most. And the BSA is so tainted on that front, it would take a pretty miraculous shift to make the organization a "good" player on these issues.
Of larger concern: Espinel was intimately involved in a number of the discussions on "voluntary" agreements between various industries over how to deal with copyright infringement, meaning that she knows quite well the positions and plans of those whom she now may be fighting against in her new role, where she obviously has strong connections to those still in the government. Considering the massive concern about the "revolving door" between IP maximalist organizations and the government, the risk of bad results here seems quite high. Espinel was quite successful in bringing in a variety of viewpoints and trying to find common ground. Unfortunately, that's not what her new position likely calls for.

Broadcasters Get Aereo Shut Down In Salt Lake City and Denver
from the you-can't-win-'em-all dept
Kimball wasn't particularly receptive to Aereo's claims that their tiny OTA antennas -- one rented to each Aereo subscriber -- allow the live streaming TV company to bypass the "Transmit Clause" of the 1976 Copyright Act:
"Based on the plain language of the 1976 Copyright Act and the clear intent of Congress, this court concludes that Aereo is engaging in copyright infringement of Plaintiffs' programs. Despite its attempt to design a device or process outside the scope of the 1976 Copyright Act, Aereo's device or process transmits Plaintiffs' copyrighted programs to the public."Similar legal assaults by the broadcast industry had proven unsuccessful in Boston and New York. Needless to say, broadcasters like Fox were pleased by the result, calling the ruling "a significant win for both broadcasters and content owners" that will "prohibit Aereo from stealing our broadcast signal." Riding on Aereo's New York win by using the Cablevision precedent, the battle now heads to the Supreme Court for the real showdown on April 22. Should Aereo win that, broadcasters could face a number of similar services offered by cable operators eager to bypass soaring retransmission fees.

(WOIO) - "Death by Suicide" is a way of life in prison, and Ohio correction facilities are no exception. WOIO Chief Investigator Carl Monday looked into the disturbing trend of prisoners who take their own lives behind bars. Over a twelve year period, 2,180 prisoners committed suicide in a state prison. That means a prisoner has a better chance of taking his own life, than being murdered or overdosing on drugs behind bars.
A recent Justice Department study shows Ohio had the ninth most suicides at state correction facilities, with sixty-three over a twelve year span. The study, of course, does not include the overnight death of Ariel Castro, or last month's suicide of convicted murderer Bill Slagle. Slagle was scheduled to be executed August 7 for killing a Cleveland woman in 1987. Just before he was set to be put on suicide watch, he was found hanged in his cell at the Chillicothe Correction Facility.
Hanging is the preferred method used by most prison and jail suicide victims---93%. Two of every three die using their own bed sheet.
If there's any positive news, Ohio's prison suicide rate is actually slightly lower than the national average. Twelve of every 100,000 Ohio prisoners ended their own lives in confinement.
Still, suicide continues to be a leading cause of death in prison and jails in Ohio...and across the country.

I personally don't believe that freedom of speech should be regulated to any degree. If what a person says caused others to be injured (Theater example) they can be prosecuted on that basis. If a person verbally attacks someone because of their race and this incites others to physically attack the people of that particular race, then the person who incited the actions can be prosecuted on that basis.
However where the language is clearly intended to offend rather than to clarify a viewpoint the post will not be allowed and action can be taken.

You are doing it here and there is nothing wrong with that because it is in the best interest of the entire community.
I have already articulated my arguments months ago in this thread but I will reiterate the bottom line: Speech in the context we are referring is the expression of ideas. The ideas should NOT be limited or silenced, but how, when, where they are expressed must be.
smalltowncynic wrote:blackwolf has an interesting point however,
In my opinion there is a line between insult and freedom of speech.
I think that insulting is rather shouting random stuff, while freedom of speech mostly inhabits an opinion. This opinion is mostly well thought about, and there are arguments to be told that strengthen this opinion.
Conclusion of my story is: I think freedom of speech is a good thing. Any human, at any place, at the time he wants to should be able to say what he or she is thinking. It would be a bad thing to take that away. However, shouting random stuff to insult or shock people shouldn't be, in my opinion, considered as freedom of speech. They say those things just to get attention, or whatever reason they have.

Ever wonder why you may be feeling depressed? It may be due to the Diet Coke you ordered to go with you meal at lunch A new study indicates sodas and other sugary drinks — especially artificially sweetened ones — could be related to depression.
According to the research, which will be officially released at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting people who drink 4 or more of soda daily are about 30 percent more likely to be diagnosed with depression than people who don't drink soda. Coffee drinkers are about 10 percent less likely to develop depression than people who don't drink coffee.
The study that The National Institutes of Health did was very comprehensive as they examined more than a quarter of a million people 50 and 71 years of age and studied their drink consumption during 1995 and 1996. Ten years later, these people were asked whether they were ever diagnosed with depression since the year 2000.
According to their study "the risk appeared to be greater for people who drank diet [rather] than regular soda."
"Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk," Honglei Chen, who led the study, said in a statement. "
Not only has Diet Soda been linked to depression, it has also been linked to bone disease. According to the NIH Health Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases website. Ingredients found in soft drinks, can raise your risk of osteoporosis http://www.livestrong.com/article/415832-diet-coke-osteoporosis/#ixzz2HZCgcoKG
Phosphoric acid, a substance found in many soft drinks which can affect bone health, causing high phosphorous levels leading to weak bones. Since osteoporosis can occur at any age, it is of particular concern for children who can get the disease in their youth.
So it is your best interest to stay away from carbonated drinks so that you won't be at risk for depression or distort your body language and posture as a result of bone disease.

I use 421 sometimes. I went to the forum and went into internet and open the firedog post and then downloaded firedog 3.6.12 which is the same as firefox 3.6.12. I then setup it to work for me. If you try it let me know. I have tried some of the newer releases but trust the older releases to works great. also.

Ya know what, folks?
I think I'm going to sleep on all this.
I'm thinking that... I might just have my friend run Lucid Puppy from a Live CD and try that for a while. It's so easy to run from the Live CD.
I've been tinkering with Lucid Puppy 5 and it seems to be working ok on this machine (COMPAQ Presario 2100US 1 gig ram). There's a couple of bumps but they may work out ok too.
Let's see what the morning brings. I'll check back in then.
I'm on US Pacific time.

Subject description: How to transfer *pupsave* file to another system setup (other than the original).
Well, Here's what I did after a long walk on the beach:
I took
Puppy 4.2.1
. off the machine by following
Cat Dude
's instructions on how to use
to clean off the machine for a fresh start:
for the reference).
I downloaded/extracted/checked-summed (using
)/then burned to disk
Lucid Puppy 5.2
(aka Lupu52). I used this reference:
for the download and check sum numbers.
I ran Lupu52 as a
Live CD
on the
COMPAQ Presario 2100US
. Then, using the site referenced within Lupu52 choice of browser downloads, I downloaded
SeaMonkey 2.0.11
. (I'm a little concerned about a terse note something about 'checking dependencies' as download went by. ?)
I'm happy to say all is good so far with a couple of exceptions.
SeaMonkey 2.0.11 Mail Client
did *not* run smoothly.
mail client works much better with Lupu52. Sylpheed comes as the default mail client on Lupu52. (Barry and crew again knew what they were doing when they constructed the distro.)
2) The blessed video card is going out on the machine. arrgh! Well, let's hope it's like when a transmission starts going in a car. Could go tomorrow, could go next year.
I'm turning the machine over to my friend tomorrow after a session on 'how to connect to the internet while plugged into the dock's laundromat to catch the free wifi'.
The convenient thing about running with a Live CD is that when the old machine goes belly-up, he still has his Lupu52 system in hand. I've saved the last pupsave file to a USB stick separate from the machine. (That is the last pupsave file
as I set up the system
.) That way, he can have somewhat of an easy starting point when he does have to switch machines.
Note to newbees reading this: My advice is try the Live CD (or better yet, USB stick) first before attempting to figure out the install process. This applies to any version of Puppy or other Linux distros.
One last question:
Can anyone please tell me how to use the saved pupsave file I made to my USB stick to set the system up again on the next recycled machine when the old one finally crashes? Is there a thread for this?
Thank you, everyone, for all the help. No regrets.

Ummm...just boot from the live CD, then
copy the savefile from the usb stick onto the new machine's hard drive, then
reboot from the live CD...yes?
The live CD will pick the savefile on the disk up. Or is there an angle to this that I am missing?
If you are planning to place a frugal install on the new machine, might want to do that first, and then, while booted from the live CD, copy the savefile from the usb stick to the psavedir (e.g.
/puppy520) where you installed the frugal files (vmlinuz et cetera) to.

Thanks, Sit Heel Speak
Yes, that's what I was hoping. Seems reasonable.
And, nope, we're going to stick with running from Live CD. So easy.
BTW- I've got a feeler out about the basalt lava dust you asked about...I'll let you know via private mail contact if I find out anything...I wonder if you are thinking about the Shine Quarry just at the end of the bridge on west side?

Hello Diamond,
We need a little more detail in order to help you.
Here is what is helpful:
Have you *searched* the forum for a conversation that might address your situation?
(There is a *search* feature tab at the top of this page.)
What is your computer make and model and what is it's configuration? For example: how much RAM does it have?
What version of SeaMonkey are you using? Look in *help* on second bar down from top of your SeaMonkey main screen. Look in *about* SeaMonkey.
What are the issues you are having with SeaMonkey/Puppy 4.3.3?
