Introduction of Shandong Leader Machinery Co.,ltd. 2016 SGS/ISO Soybean Oil Production Plant Professional Installation
Solvent condensation system combines with evaporation system closely, and evaporative condenser and steam stripping condenser all work under negative pressure.
Non-condensable gas enters the energy saver from the shell of the first evaporator. In energy saver, noncondensable gas exchanges heat with condensate from the evaporative condenser.
Finally, the condensate temperature discharged from energy saver is increased, and the solvent separated water from going to the solvent holding tank.
Advantage of 2016 SGS/ISO Soybean Oil Production Plant Professional Installation:
1) The material (for pretreatment) is sent to rotary extraction by the scraper conveyor. The material will extracted by the solvent or mix oil. After this step, we will get meal and mix oil.
2) Meal is send to toaster. Through the toaster, the solvent in the meal will separate from the meal. The solvent goes to condenser and is recycled to rotary extraction.
3) After the mix oil from the rotary extraction enters into 1st evaporator and 2nd evaporator, most of the solvent in the mix oil is separated.
4)The mix oil from 2nd evaporator goes to stripping tower and almost all the solvent is separated. From the stripping tower, we can get crude oil and solvent. The solvent is sent to condenser and is recycled to rotary extraction.
If you have any demand about microwave drying equipment and edible oil refining equipment, pls feel free contact us any time.

10 Dos & Don'ts For Teaching Vocabulary In Any Content Area
by TeachThought Staff
With the Common Core adoption in the United States, teaching vocabulary is no longer strictly the domain of the English-Language Arts classroom.
While Robert Marzano has been promoting the instruction of academic vocabulary for years–and many school literacy plans have included reading and writing across the content areas for years–it is now a matter of standard and law. Which makes it kind of a big deal.
And while a small portion of non-ELA teachers may wonder (sometimes out loud) why they have to do "ELA teachers' jobs and their jobs too," this is a change that's been a long time in coming. The above infographic from eyeoneducation.com offers up some simply tips in Dos-and-Don'ts format–brief enough to be practical, and simple enough for even the most novice teacher to use.

Includes A Planetary (Navagraha) Puja
2 DVD Set - NTSC - All Regions
Everything in our lives is karma: relationships, job, family, income levels, health—everything. This four-hour video workshop explains how our karma rules the conditions of life and teaches mantras for people to practice and improve every aspect of life. Watch this class again and again to deepen your understanding of how karma works and how mantra can soften even the most difficult problems.
For the first time, a complete 1,000 Names of the Planets puja ceremony (Navagraha Puja) is offered by a Western Vedic Priest, trained in the ancient Eastern rites since 1973. The Navagraha Puja reduces planetary karma and brings relief for difficult planetary alignments and transits. Powerful vibrations of peace will replace negative vibrations that may be around you.
This program comes with an insert detailing all of the mantras used in group chanting, so that you can chant along with the DVD if you wish.

First of all, writing a review on a running shoe is nearly impossible to establish any sort of real length to it. While these shoes are simply amazing for a great run, there are only so many ways to say "the shoe fits".
The Voltaic Running Shoe provides you with a springy, supported run. The great part concerning the Voltaic is the design, aesthetically they're not ugly, not perhaps what you would wear out and about but if you're running? Oh yea, you're the coolest guy with the best stride (hopefully). The shoes are outfitted thoroughly in a reflective 3M material, and are equipped with a CM-EVA midsole.
The Midfoot TPU shank provides an amazing run, with support that was virtually the polar opposite of wearing those tabi sandal things. The iCell unit in the heel puts the bounce back in your step, think of Flubber only under control, it's really very nice. Try to keep the Indiana Jones production jumps to a minimum though, for everyone's safety around you.
The PUMA Men's Voltaic Running Shoe is a comfortable, stylish alternative to many front-runners of the running shoe industry such as Nike, and Reebok for a very attractive price.

Bride or Grooms Name:
The Montalvo Arts Center is a prime location for wedding photography in San Jose, well-known to all of the city's residents and famous for its 175 acres of natural expanse, breath-taking views, and the Villa's singular Mediterranean-style architecture. Begin your wedding day portrait session a few hours prior to the wedding ceremony on the Villa's gorgeous veranda, which overlooks the verdant Great Lawn. Have your photographer arrange the bridal party on the stairs leading down to the lawn as you make your descent. A reverse angle with the villa now serving as a backdrop will make for a stunning portrait of the bridal party and will convey the majesty of the estate. Arrange for your limousine to pick up the party at the bottom of the villa, next to the lawn, and direct your driver to take you to the Mountain Winery, another famed location for wedding photography in San Jose. Here you will find a number of locations with magnificent views of greater San Jose where your wedding photographer can assemble your bridal party or create an intimate portrait of the bride and groom. Both the Chateau Deck and Vista Point are great spots for a photo shoot. After finishing your rounds at the winery, have your limo driver take you back to the Montalvo Arts Center to complete your wedding day photography session on the great lawn (have the bridesmaids help the bride with her dress and veil, as the grass may or may not be damp). With the photography session complete, you can look forward to the rest of this unforgettable day!
For the couple that loves to explore the exciting sites of the city, the elegant Hotel Saint Claire in downtown San Jose is the perfect location for a photography session on the day of the wedding. As a starting point, have your wedding photographer arrange the bridal party for portraits in the hotel's chic and stylish front lobby. The entrance of the hotel also provides a tasteful backdrop for some photos of the bride and groom. Afterward, your party can stroll over just one block northwest and you will find yourselves facing the glittering fountains in front of the San Jose Center for Performing Arts. This is a great place for your wedding photographer to take some snapshots, particularly when the lighting is less harsh toward the evening. The steps at the entrance of the building are a great place to arrange the bridal party, as is the ramp that curves around the theater. Use the shimmering fountains as a backdrop for stunning portrait of the bride and groom, but remember to keep your distance for the sake of the wedding dress.
For more fountain photography fun, cross the street and have your wedding photographer capture some light-hearted moments at the Plaza de Cesar Chavez Park, in the heart of downtown San Jose. Here your photographer can assemble the bridal party on the lawn next to fountains. From this vantage point one can create photographs using any number of gorgeous backdrops, including the Tech Museum with its purple dome, the San Jose Center for Performing Arts, and any angle that captures the city's countless skyscrapers and hotels. If there are no children playing in the fountains (as is common), your wedding photographer can snap a few photos of the bride and groom in front of them. Having concluded your wedding day photography session, you and you bridal party can head back over to the Hotel Saint Claire for the ceremony and reception.
If you've chosen to have your wedding ceremony and reception at Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose, you may not have to (or want to) look anywhere else to find picturesque photography locations for the day of the wedding. This gorgeous Belle Epoque-style mansion in south San Jose contains dozens of charming sites where the wedding photographer can situate the bridal party and the bride and groom.
The most obvious location for a bride-groom portrait is the lush and majestic front lawn, where the happy couple can embrace with the mansion and its lofty palm trees in the background. The property's gorgeous front doors can also serve as a backdrop for a similar shot. The arched columns along the estate's adjacent wing are great for intimate or group photos. After exploring the outside of this historic landmark, have the bridal party make its way inside for some separate photos of the groomsmen and bridesmaids. Your wedding photographer can set up a portrait of the groom and his best buds beside the elegant bar, along one of the many stairways, or in one of the comfortable reading rooms. Likewise, the bride and her bridesmaids can gather at any of the aforementioned locations inside for a girls-only portrait. The mansion's exquisite dressing rooms can also serve as the setting for a few pre-wedding photos of just the ladies. After wrapping up your wedding day photography shoot in and around this enchanting site, get ready for the rest of the big day. It will surely be an unforgettable one!

Worldbike Slideshow: Bicycles as a tool for Development from Ross Evans on Vimeo.
Worldbike designs higher-strength, longer-wheelbase bicycles with integrated cargo capacity. We conduct trial markets to determine the ideal price levels, work with the bike industry to get the best quality parts and frames at the lowest cost, and partner with international development organizations like Kickstart International to sell and distribute the bicycles.
Worldbike was included in the Design for the other 90% exhibition by the Cooper-Hewitt Museum.
[Image from worldbike]
The impacts of the Open Source Bike project will be principally felt in identifying and solving the key design challenges in using bikes in the developing world. Through the distributed brains of the worldbike bike community, we'll be able to mobilize talent that otherwise wouldn't be able to participate in this effort.
[Image from worldbike]
Bikes from Worldbike are actually designed to be used to carry the heavy loads demanded of them by developing world users. The durable frame extending racks provide a stable platform and make the bicycle more appropriate for the applications of carrying cargo. Having a properly designed bicycle makes it less likely that the bike will fail from being used outside its' intended use.

Sometimes in our day-to-day rush and familiar surroundings and cultural norms, we forget how truly amazing
Ignorant people in the world think we're soft, because they see the plenty and don't understand what it has taken—and what it takes—to have what we have. They don't understand the discipline we live each day, in terms of balancing hard work and family relations, and service to our country and to God. They don't understand our striving to be the best we can be, and I mean in every single capacity God has granted us: mental, physical, spiritual, social and emotional. We strive to be "whole" persons, and we strive to be good. We also strive to win, because we're good. That's actually pretty unique in this world of ours.
Our own countrymen often overlook the value we subconsciously place on "freedom"—the freedom to do things, to go places, to have fun, to start new enterprises. We also generally place emphasis on personal responsibility, on self-reliance, on dignity and yes, even on clean living. It's horse sense really: you reap what you sow. The Taliban and Al Qaeda certainly learned that. But they didn't have any American horses. They didn't know Middle America—or

Now did we really think that the twenty-first century was going to be any different, perhaps more peaceful because of the victory "the greatest generation" won in World War II?

Thanks to John Caracciolo, Long Island is a little bit more country.
The JVC Broadcasting chief brought us MyCountry 96.1, the country-western station now in its second year. And the economic impact of more folks crying in their beer has been felt locally.
Attendance at live-music venues such as The Nutty Irishman and Cody's BBQ & Grill has been spurred by country-western nights sponsored and promoted by the radio station. Patrons number in the hundreds during those themed evenings.
And the former Mulcahy's of Centereach, rebranded as the Middle Country Beer Garden, is benefiting from the buzz as well, through its Country Night Thursdays. "Business was going a little stale," said new owner Greg Pranzo about Mulcahy's of Centereach. "Except the country night. That's been a great night for us, so there's no reason to change it."
Even local bands are raising a glass to MyCountry 96.1. Victor Fusco, managing partner of Woodbury-based Fusco, Brandenstein & Rada who moonlights as a bass player in the The Roadhouse Band, said, "A year ago there were maybe four working country bands on Long Island; now there are close to 15."
Venturing into country music was a risky move for Caracciolo, especially on Long Island where many said there wasn't enough of a market to warrant a radio station solely devoted to southern drawl. But Caracciolo has made it work.
And for that, we tip our 10-gallon hat to him.

MLB Notebook: At his best, Shields has few peers
Royals right-hander notches double-digit strikeouts for the 22nd time since 2006
Since the beginning of the 2006 season, 81 pitchers have made at least 150 starts in the big leagues. Arranging those 81 in order from highest to lowest ERA+ over this nine-year span, Clayton Kershaw holds the seat reserved for the king of the mountain.
Royals right-hander James Shields owns a nice spot in the organization of these names and numbers, with his 110 ERA+ tying him with two others for 33rd. Nice, but not astounding, nor outstanding.
However, when it comes to looking at a pitcher at his very best, Shields grows a bit in esteem when compared to his peers since 2006. Since the start of that season, he's had five games in which his pitching line has produced a game score (an equation used to measure a pitcher's dominance) of at least 90, tying him with Justin Verlander for the most in the Majors. Shields has also had nine games with a game score of at least 85 -- the fourth most since '06, behind totals from CC Sabathia, Cliff Lee and Felix Hernandez.
On Thursday night in Houston, Shields wasn't quite at his best, but his performance against the Astros was another reminder that when Shields is good, he is often spectacularly good.
Shields dominant vs. Astros
Shields had 12 strikeouts (including seven straight at one point), allowed one run on four hits in eight innings and picked up the win, as Kansas City topped Houston, 5-1. It was the 22nd career double-digit strikeout game for the right-hander.
Since Shields' debut in 2006, his 22 games with at least 10 strikeouts tie him with Jake Peavy and Kershaw for the ninth most. Tim Lincecum (35) and Sabathia (31) occupy the first two spots in line, and next behind them are Lee (29) and Verlander (28). Johan Santana and Hernandez each have 27 since '06, and Cole Hamels and A.J. Burnett each have 23.
Shields' effort Thursday produced a game score of 80. Since 2006, the righty has had 18 outings with a game score at least that high, tying him with Jered Weaver, Verlander and Kershaw for the sixth most. Hernandez owns the most (28), followed by Sabathia and Roy Halladay (24 apiece), Lee (23) and Peavy (19).
Lester tops tough-luck Sale
In a matchup of two of the top southpaws in baseball, Boston's Jon Lester got the better of Chicago's Chris Sale, and the Red Sox beat the White Sox, 3-1.
Lester, who picked up the win, allowed one run on seven hits in eight innings, struck out nine and didn't walk a batter (game score of 73). Sale, in a no-decision, allowed one hit and one run with 10 strikeouts and three walks in seven innings (game score of 78).
The most recent tilt between these two teams to feature a pair of left-handed starters each posting a game score of at least 73 took place on May 25, 1983. In that affair in Chicago (a 2-0 Red Sox win), Bruce Hurst threw a three-hit shutout and his counterpart, Britt Burns, twirled eight innings of four-hit, no-run ball. Before that game 31 years ago, the previous occurrence occurred on June 4, 1957, when Billy Pierce of the Pale Hose took on Boston's Dean Stone, also in Chicago.
Since 1914, there have been 30 occurrences -- Sale's performance on Thursday marking the latest -- of a pitcher failing to record a win in a start in which he finished with at least 10 strikeouts and only one hit (or no hits) allowed. There were four such games in 2013 -- the most for any season since 1914 -- with Sale's the first of 2014. Nolan Ryan accounted for two of the 30 since 1914, and he is the only pitcher to appear on this list more than once.
Hot start for pair of Twins
In the second game of a doubleheader, the Twins used a six-run rally in the eighth inning to defeat the Blue Jays, 9-5.
Brian Dozier got the Twins' scoring started in the first with a leadoff home run. Dozier has five long balls this season, tied with Mike Trout for second most in the American League behind Toronto's Jose Bautista, who also clubbed his league-leading sixth homer in this game.
Dozier, who has hit four of his five home runs while batting in the top spot in the order, has a long way to go to match the franchise mark for the most home runs in a season as a leadoff hitter. In 1986, Kirby Puckett hit 25, and Jacque Jones matched that total in 2002. In 74 games batting leadoff last year, Dozier hit 12.
Minnesota's Chris Colabello doubled twice and drove in three runs in the second game of the doubleheader after also collecting a double and an RBI in Game 1. Colabello, who leads the AL in both doubles (nine) and RBIs (19), had 10 extra-base hits and 17 RBIs in 181 plate appearances as a 29-year-old rookie in 2013.
Here and there
• Adam Wainwright went the distance on a two-hitter as St. Louis blanked Washington, 8-0. Wainwright has 17 career complete games, with four of them seeing the right-hander allow exactly two hits (his lowest total allowed). Since 2007, there have been 102 two-hitters thrown in the Majors, with Wainwright's four tying him with Hernandez and Shields for the most.
• After losing, 1-0, on Wednesday, the Phillies returned the favor on Thursday with a 1-0 victory against the Braves. The win was Philadelphia's 10th 1-0 victory all-time at Citizens Bank Park, and the club's first at home since toppling the Athletics on June 24, 2011. The Phillies' lone run Thursday against the Braves came on an eighth-inning single, and the club ended the game without an extra-base hit. In the Citizens Bank Park era (since 2004), the Phils have gone 8-35 when not having any doubles, triples or homers in a home game.
• Hitting ninth as the starting designated hitter, Cleveland's Lonnie Chisenhall produced four hits -- an interesting line relative to his role and position in the batting order. Since the inception of the DH rule in 1973, that role -- when placed in the ninth slot of the starting lineup -- has produced three previous four-hit games: Willie Davis in '79, Rick Leach in '88 and Dee Brown in 2003.
• Hyun-Jin Ryu improved to 3-1 on the year, as the Dodgers defeated the Giants, 2-1. Ryu, who allowed four hits in seven scoreless innings, also had starts this season of seven scoreless innings and three hits allowed, and seven scoreless innings and two hits allowed. Since 1914, Ryu is the fourth pitcher to have three starts featuring at least seven scoreless innings and four or fewer hits allowed through his club's first 16 contests. The others: Ray Caldwell in 1914, Bob Feller in '47 and Dave McNally in '72. No pitcher has had more than three.
• Aided by a 5-4-3 triple play in the second inning vs. the Rays, the Yankees' Sabathia worked seven innings of two-run ball and picked up the win. Sabathia has been on the mound for each of the Yankees' past three triple plays (which have all come in April), with the two previous instances occurring up on April 22, 2010, and April 12, 2013. Before this stretch, the Yankees had most recently turned a triple play on June 3, 1968.

Editorial: "Employer mandate" attacks leave sour taste
So far, the controversy over ObamaCare has focused largely on the "individual mandate" — the requirement, upheld by the Supreme Court, that uninsured people buy coverage or face a penalty. This has overshadowed another key part of the new health care law: the employer mandate.
OPPOSING VIEW:Businesses face wrenching choice
Now, with regulations being written, some business owners have stepped up their complaints about the requirement that companies with 50 or more employees offer coverage to their full-time workers, starting in 2014.
Much of the resistance has been coming from restaurant chains. Papa John's CEO John Schnatter said companies would "find loopholes to get around" the requirement, adding that "it's common sense" for companies to reduce workers' hours so they no longer fit the definition of full-time. Darden Restaurants, which owns Olive Garden and Red Lobster, said it was experimenting with cutting workers' hours. The owner of the Carl's Jr. and Hardee's chains said it would employ more part-time workers. And one angry Denny's franchise owner in Florida said he'd add a 5% "ObamaCare surcharge" to meal prices.
Let's cool the coffee before it scalds. Yes, the employer mandate will add to some companies' costs of doing business, and those costs no doubt will be passed along to customers. Papa John's says the price of a pizza could increase 11 cents to 14 cents per pie. But is that such a terrible price to pay to ensure that some of the nation's hardest working, lowest paid employees will get health coverage they've never had?
Even in the absence of any sort of mandate, most American workers already get their insurance through their employers. ObamaCare purposely didn't change that, despite critics' hyperbolic claims that it's a federal takeover. A real federal takeover — a single payer system such as Medicare for all — would be simpler and would let businesses off the hook. But it's a political non-starter.
So in a private, employer-based system aimed at getting as many Americans covered as possible, it's appropriate that all but the smallest businesses share the cost. The employer mandate evens the playing field for small businesses that already provide health coverage but compete with companies that don't.
Similar mandates have been working for years in San Francisco, Hawaii and Massachusetts. Once businesses have to comply, they figure it out. Some even have lower turnover when they offer health benefits.
Indeed, after a customer backlash, some companies and executives have backed off from their initial criticism of the employer mandate. Darden said last week that it would not reduce current employees' hours. Schnatter, of Papa John's, said that he couldn't speak for individual franchise owners, but that corporate workers' hours wouldn't be cut.
In fact, Schnatter wrote on TheHuffington Post, the "good news" is that all full-time workers will get insurance. Because nothing is free, "we're all going to pay for it." And Papa John's won't be at a disadvantage because "our competitors are going to have to do the same thing."
We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

"NFZ positive !!!"
Great stuff!
"It works on stubborn pink eye.. "
Used this on 2 of my cats that had bad cases of pink eye from an uri. The eye antibiotic ointment didn't fully eliminate the pink eye to my surprise so tried this powder and it worked.
"Works on cows"
Used this on my white face Hereford for eye ulceration along with LA300 and it cleared right up. Using it on cows with watery eyes as flies are terrible irritants.
"nfz puffer"
I used this on a feral cat that had 2 very bad ear infections and one ear was full of blood. I cleaned the ear out with coconut oil and used the nfz. Within a week the ear was healed. Great stuff.
"Great stuff"
After fighting through several products this cleared up the gunky eyes of my mastiff. Also cleared up her inflamed ear in just one application. Luv luv this stuff. Still on the first bottle.
"NFZ Powder"
Tried several products for cleaning and drying my German Shepard ear and he was still shaking his head. Used this powder twice and this really done the trick. No more head shaking. Great Stuff!
"nfz works great"
This stuff is great! My dog was hit by a car and had several bad cuts on his legs , the vet gave me nfz to use on him and all his cuts healed up really fast. There was never any sign of infection starting in his wounds. I also used it in his eye when he had an eye infection , it cleared up by the second day.
"This stuff WORKS"
I have been dealing with a conjunctivitis infection in one of my cats since March and my vet (whom I love) recommended drops 2 to 4 times a day. I did that since March to no avail - he still had pink eye. On a whim I purchased this NFZ puffer and used it once a day for 4 days. GONE - the infection is completely gone. I ordered 3 bottles of this stuff cause it's a powder and has a long shelf life. I really didn't need to. You only use a tiny puff or 2 in each eye once a day. I'm so happy to see my boy able to open his beautiful green eye's and is not rubbing them all the time crying. THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT.
"miracle cure"
My dog Buddy's eye infection was severe as I had passed it off as either flea-related or scent-marking (when he rubbed his face on couch). Only when his eye filled with pus did I know it was something else. The eye looked like it had collapsed and he would not allow me to open it. I was barely able to get any NFZ Puffer in his eye, but the little I did had him as good as new in five days.
"the best"
This product is the best for every wound I llove it
"great for hot spot"
This worked perfect on a hot spot gone in 2 days . Completley dried up
"Really works!"
Amazing medicine, strange delivery, though. We tried everything on our kittens' eyes, but still had goopy, cloudy, irritated eyes from 4 to 8 weeks old. Finally a breeder friend gave us this NFZ puffer, and in 4 to 5 days it was totally cleared up!! Stayed gone, too. I'm impressed, thank you!
we used puffer for 3 days 2 times day dog had cloudy eye and looked like cateracs and a dished type wound on eye ball this helped out great waiting to see if it will be 100 % sight back dont know how dog got wound no blood was on eye area or eye ball at all just runny cloudy eye bought puffer at local feed store thanks for great products
"get-em back to going"
I've used this product for years on cattle, but I find it just as effective treating eye irritrations in my Bear Hounds. After they have chased Bear several days their eyes take a beating from the brush. A couple days of treatment with NFZ puffer and their ready to go again.
"Great product"
This is the best product for eye infections. We have used the NFZ puffer on our sheep, goats, and dog over the years. With in two days of treatment their irritated or infected eye is all cleared up. This product is also good for minor skin cuts.

I have access to the SSC chassis LCG setup for the 4x4 Slash as one of my good friends races this setup and I work on his setup for him. I can run it anytime I want so thats not a problem. No the RCE I have ran when I customer brought one in for setup help on practice day at our track so I know what that was like. Very nice setup he had and to my knowledge the most expensive overall 4x4 Slash I have ever seen because it had every upgrade you could imagine and then some. It was a beautiful truck with I'm not kidding $1200 in it race ready.
The newest thing on the STRC chassis is the servo is laid flat and the new motor mounting system is like no other LCG setup on. Those are the first two noticable things about the truck. Overall though all LCG chassis will take away some body roll and result on a much lower racing profile. I know before I even get mine that my truck it better. Lower my overall CG as much as I will vs my stock 4x4 Slash is going to help.
I raced my stock 4x4 Slash this weekend and qualified 2nd and finished 2nd but had the fastest lap in the main. My truck with stock shocks on and chassis works almost flawlessly. I'm not sure what I would want in it to make it better but a lower chassis setup as it is a little tippy vs my buddies SSC chassis Slash and the Losi SCTE that my buddy TQ'ed with. My stock chassis setup was pulling wheelies off our back stretch lump onto the straight away every lap. My truck has great traction, killer off power steering and pretty good mid to steering coming out of the corners. I'm super happy but the new chassis I know is worth easily a few tenths just because I can hammer it in the areas it was tippy because of the higher CG.

Alfred Pringsheim's father was Rudolf Pringsheim and his mother was Paula Deutschmann. It was a Jewish family. Rudolf was rich, having made his money in the construction industry. Alfred grew up in Breslau where he became passionate about music, art and mathematics. He became an excellent pianist and his musical tastes were much influenced by Richard Wagner who, although much older than Pringsheim, became friendly with the talented young man.
Having studied mathematics in Berlin in 1868, Pringsheim became a follower of Weierstrass's mathematics. Following the usual practice of German students he moved between different universities and after studying in Berlin he went to Heidelberg. After completing his undergraduate studies, Pringsheim undertook research at Heidelberg with Leo Königsberger as his thesis advisor. Königsberger had been appointed to a chair of mathematics at Heidelberg in 1869 and, having studied under Weierstrass himself, was at this stage in his career concentrating his research on the theory of elliptic functions. This was a perfect match with Pringsheim's mathematical interests, and he was awarded his doctorate in 1872.
In 1877 Pringsheim submitted his habilitation thesis to the University of Munich and began teaching there as a privatdozent. Two years later, in 1879, he married Hedwig Dohm. Hedwig's father was Ernst Dohm, a well known Berlin journalist, and her mother was Hedwig Schleh. Hedwig Dohm was an actress in Berlin before her marriage. Alfred and Hedwig had four sons, Erik, Peter, Heinz, and Klaus, and a daughter Katja. Klaus and Katja were twins; Klaus became a conductor, composer, music writer, while Katja studied physics and mathematics but agreed to give up her studies after marrying the famous writer Thomas Mann on 11 February 1905 in Munich. Peter became a physics professor after studying under Nernst in Berlin.
Pringsheim worked at the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich for his whole career. He was promoted to extraordinary professor in 1886, was elected to the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in 1898, and became a full professor in 1901 (the year in which his father died at the age of 80). Pringsheim retired in 1922. Freudental writes in [1] that Alfred and Hedwig Pringsheim made their:-
... home into a centre of Munich's social and cultural life. The novelist Thomas Mann, who was his son-in-law, wrote a novel based on the Pringsheim family. Pringsheim's refined wit was famous. His sprightly Bierrede was the acme of the yearly meeting of the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung and was mentioned by mathematicians throughout the year. His puns were famous ... Pringsheim was a brilliant lecturer and conversationalist ...Pringsheim was extremely well off; as well as having considerable financial resources, he owned an extremely valuable collection of Italian Majolica earthenware. However, he was a patriotic German and in order to support his country during World War I, he had purchased a considerable quantity of War loans. He lost a lot of money with the War loans as he did with the hyperinflation of the first few years of the 1920s. Despite this he still had a mansion in the Arcisstrasse and his Majolica collection.
From 1933 to 1939 his life was made impossible as a non-Aryan. His house was taken away and he was forced to sell it to the Nazi party. It was not because the Nazis wanted to use the grand mansion for they demolished it and built a party headquarters on the site. In 1938 Pringsheim was forced out of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences by the president Alexander Mueller. Also in 1938 he was forced to adopt "Israel" as a middle name. In March 1939 the German Ministry of Trade authorized export of Pringsheim's Majolica collection to London for auction at Sotheby's, provided that 80% of the proceeds up to 20,000 pounds and 70% of the remainder be paid to the German Gold Discount Bank in foreign currency. Pringsheim was to receive the remaining proceeds. In exchange, Pringsheim and his wife were allowed to emigrate to Switzerland. The sale took place at Sotheby's, London, on 7 June 1939.
Before he left Germany to go to Zürich, Pringsheim gave to his friend Carathéodory a present of a very rare text from Jacob Bernoulli to his brother Johann Bernoulli containing the solution to the isoperimetric problem. Alfred and Hedwig Pringsheim moved to Zürich in 1939. He died there two years later, his wife dying in the following year.
Pringsheim worked on real and complex functions. His work [1]:-
... is characterised by meticulous rigour rather than by great ideas.He gave a very simple proof of Cauchy's integral theorem. He also has important results on the singularities of power series with positive coefficients. In 1893 he proved that a function is analytic if it is infinitely differentiable on an open interval and the radius of convergence r(x) of the Taylor series centred at x is bounded away from 0. There was a problem with the proof which was discovered and repaired much later by R P Boas.
Pringsheim criticised attempts by du Bois-Reymond to establish ideal boundaries between convergence and divergence. He also suggested that the paradoxes of the infinitary calculus arose from transferring properties of real numbers to infinite-dimensional domains where they fail, and agreed with Cantor that any use of infinitesimals in analysis would necessarily lead to inconsistencies.
An interesting comment concerning Pringsheim appears in [7]. In 1761 Lambert made a first step in solving the old problem of squaring the circle by proving the irrationality of π. But the authors of many monographs and textbooks claimed that there was a gap in Lambert's proof concerning the convergence of the continued fraction expansion of the tangent function. Pringsheim was the first to note in 1898 that Lambert's proof was absolutely correct and exceptional for its time, since the expansion of the tangent function was not only written down formally, but also proved to be a convergent continued fraction. Pringsheim did a lot of work on continued fractions: he introduced the term 'unconditional convergence' of a continued fraction and also gave what is now known as the Pringsheim criterion which insures the convergence of a continued fraction in 1898.
A major work by Pringsheim was Vorlesungen über Zahlen- und Funktionenlehre Ⓣ which appeared in five parts. Part 1 was Reelle Zahlen und Zahlenfolgen Ⓣ and appeared in 1916 as did Part 2 Unendliche Reihen mit reellen Gliedern Ⓣ. Part 3 was entitled Komplexe Zahlen, Reihen mit komplexen Gliedern. Unendliche Produkte und Kettenbrüche Ⓣ and was published in 1921. Part 4 Grundlagen der Theorie der analytischen Funktionen einer komplexen Veränderlichen Ⓣ appeared in 1925 while Part 5 Eindeutige analytische Funktionen Ⓣ appeared in 1932.

Rocha, Robson S. (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The present article investigates co-decision making with focus on the development of partnerships arrangements (PAs) between managers and trade-union representatives in a Danish multinational company which has grown through cross-border mergers and acquisitions. The findings show the difficulties which trade-union representatives and management face in combining different forms of corporate governance and supporting PAs. The article argues that hybrid forms of PAs are unlikely to develop, due to historically embedded governance institutions, which create distinct expectations about how a firm must be controlled and who has the rights to exert this control.

Beltre leads club through a trying season
CHICAGO -- Many of the Rangers on the active roster have something to play for in the final two months of the season. They are fighting for jobs at the Major League level, both for now and the future.
Not Adrian Beltre. The Rangers' All-Star third baseman is signed through at least next season and there is no doubt where he stands. He just needs to get through a trying season.
"I'm doing OK," Beltre said. "I'm doing the best I can. Obviously the situation is not comfortable for anybody, especially knowing in Spring Training we didn't imagine we would be in this situation with all this losing.
"You just have to stay positive and believe something good will come of it and we'll start playing better. Play the next 50 games on a positive note and finish the season strong."
Beltre is the clear leader in the Rangers' clubhouse. Manager Ron Washington said Beltre is fulfilling that role as expected.
"I don't think Beltre ever quit at anything," Washington said. "You hope you are able to lead when things aren't going in the right direction. You have to lead no matter what. When you go through rough times, that's when you really have to lead. Beltre is a leader."
Beltre still has a chance for at least one significant personal accomplishment. He went into Tuesday's game hitting .323, which was fourth best in the American League. Astros second baseman Jose Altuve led with a .339 average, so a batting title is still in play for Beltre.
But winning matters the most and that has been the tough part to deal with for Beltre.
"I'm trying to find a way to maintain any way I can," Beltre said. "I have a job to do every day and I have to find a way to stay positive and keep the young kids positive. These young kids are learning and there are so many things you don't want to fall into. You don't want to get used to losing. We are trying to find any way we can to finish on a strong note.
"We have a lot of young guys in their first time in the Majors and I know they look up to me so I have to stay positive … Let them know that even though we haven't played well the last seven weeks, we can still play better and finish on a high note."

This is a follow-up question to: Degree 2 branched map from the torus to the sphere
This is a silly computation, but for whatever reason this is taking me much, much longer than it should. So hopefully more geometrically-oriented people can answer this easily.
Let's say we have a 2-cover of S2 branched at 4 points. We can visualize this, as stankewicz aptly put it, as having a torus, putting it on a skewer (that meets it in four points), and quotienting by the action of turning the torus by a 180 degrees around that skewer. If you prefer to think of the torus as the plane quotiented by a lattice, it's the same as identifying vectors with their minuses (the ramification points being the 2-torsion).
As we know $\pi_1$(Torus - 4 points,basept)$\cong$< a,b,c,d,e,f| [a,b]cdef=1>, and $\pi_1$(S2 - 4 points,basept)$\cong$< g,h,x,w| ghxw=1>. This 2-cover corresponds to an identification, therefore, of < a,b,c,d,e,f| [a,b]cdef=1> with an index 2 subgroup of < g,h,x,w| ghxw=1>. For the life of me, I can't figure out how this identification would go! I've been drawing tori to no avail for two days now.

Padded bumper pads for your crib are a nursery must have. Not only are they beautifully decorative, they keep your little darlin' from bonking her pretty little head. We chose a strong, graphic pattern for the inside of the bumpers, because the baby experts say that's what babies love to look at.
These instructions generally follow the instructions that come with the Fairfield Baby Bumper pads recommended below. For more information and where to buy visit poly-fil.com.
Our sample was made for a baby girl's nursery, using the stunning Patty Young Andalucia collection. For information on where to buy, read Stylish Baby Nursery: Designing Bold Colors & Patterns. This article also includes suggestions for creating an alternate fabric palette that would work well for a boy's nursery.
Sewing Tools You Need
- Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome Magnolia 7318)
Fabric and Other Supplies
- Fairfield NU Foam® Baby Bumper Pads - package of six measuring 10" x 26" x 1"
- Fabric for inside of six crib bumpers: 2 yards of 45" wide fabric: we used Patty Young's Andalucia in Petal Jester.
- Fabric for outside of six crib bumpers: 2 yards of 45" wide fabric: we used Patty Young's Andalucia in Petal Flora
- Fabric for piping around bumpers AND corner ties: 1½ yards of 45" wide fabric: we used Patty Young's Andalucia in Fire Tiny Dots
- 6 yards 3/8" diameter cotton cording
- All-purpose thread in colors to match fabrics
- Iron and Ironing board
- See through ruler
- Fabric marking pen or chalk pencil
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Straight pins
- Iron and ironing board
- Corner template (see download below)
- 5" square piece of cardboard or template plastic for template (check your local craft store for stencil material)
Getting Started
Cut your fabric and trims
- Download the corner curve template and trace it onto a piece of cardboard or template plastic. Cut out.
- Cut six 27" x 11¾" pieces of fabric from both the Petal Jester and the Petal Flora (six pieces from each fabric). (Note: To make this amount of fabric sufficient, cut 11¾" pieces along the 45" edge of the fabric.)
- Using the template you made, mark a rounded edge on each corner of each 27" x 11¾" piece of fabric. Cut the rounded corners. Using the original template pattern (the paper), transfer the markings (the dots) onto your fabric using the fabric marking pen. I like to make a tiny hole with a pin right in the middle of the dot, then I line up my pattern on my fabric and make a mark with my pen through that hole.
- For the ties, cut twenty-four 15½" x 2½" pieces from Fire Tiny Dots.
- Cut six 30" lengths from cording.
- Cut six 2¼" wide bias strips according to the instructions below. Each will need to be about 30" long.
Cut your bias strips
- On your cutting surface, lay your fabric out flat, right side up, with the selvage running along one side.
- The selvage is the woven edge of your fabric where it was originally attached to the loom. The fabric's pattern does not continue onto the selvage, but there is likely to be some information printed there that identifies the manufacturer or designer.
- Fold the fabric back diagonally so a straight edge is parallel to the selvage.
- Press the fold and use this crease as a guide to mark your parallel lines.
- Use a straight edge to make continuous parallel likes 2¼" apart.
- Cut along these lines with good, sharp scissors or a rotary cutter and straight edge.
At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board
Join bias strips
- You may need to join two strips to make one that is the necessary 30" long. To do this, take two of your strips and place them right sides together at right angels to each other.
- Stitch straight across.
- Lay flat, press the seam open and trim off the overlapping edges.
- Repeat until you have one long fabric strip.
Insert the cord
- Place one 30" bias strip right side down on a large flat surface.
- Lay a 30" length of cord in the center.
- Fold the fabric over the cord, keeping the cord centered and matching the raw edges of the fabric.
- Pin to hold in place.
- Carefully move to your sewing machine and adjust the piping so the raw edges line up on your seam allowance marking and cord pokes out to the left of your foot.
- Using the Zipper Foot, stitch slowly staying close to the cord and keeping your seam allowance consistent. Remember to remove your pins as you go so you don't sew over them.
Stitch cording to bumper fabric
- Pin cording to the right side of a 27" x 11¾" piece of Petal Flora fabric. Using the dots you made with the template, start pinning the cording at the large dot in the center of left curved edge, stretching along the 27" straight side, and ending in the center of the curved edge at the large dot on the right side. Be sure to match the raw edges of the piping insertion fabric and the base fabric. Your cording should be centered between the dots.
- Stitch in place using the zipper foot. You are stitching around a curve so you'll need to gently ease the fabric, which means it might ripple slightly. That's okay.
- Repeat to add cording in this same manner to all six 27" x 11¾" Petal Flora pieces.
Make the ties
- With right sides together, fold a 15½" x 2½" Fire Tiny Dots fabric strip in half lengthwise.
- Stitch ¼" in from the edge along the long edge and across one end. Stop with your needle down at the corner, lift your presser foot, and pivot 90˚ to make a nice clean angle.
- Trim the corners, being careful not to clip into your seam.
- Press the long seam open.
- Turn the strip right side out. You've made a fairly narrow little tube, so you'll need a little help turning it. My favorite way is to use a large safety pin. Attach the safety pin to the seamed end and make sure the pin is securely closed. Then, pushing the pin backwards, wiggle it in on itself. It will take just a second to get this going, then you can keep wiggling the pin backwards until it comes out the other end. It's just like a snake shedding its skin, but not as creepy. Finally, slip a small knitting needle or other slim, dull pointy object up inside the tube and poke out the corners so they are nice and sharp. Janome machines come with a cool little lint brush, the other end of which is perfect for this task.
- Press the tie so the seam runs nice and straight along one long edge. We can leave other short edge unsewn, because this will not be seen – it will be sewn into the bumper.
- Repeat to finish all twenty-four ties in the same manner.
Finish the bumpers
- Pin a tie to the side of a Petal Flora piece, with the right side of the fabric facing up. Use the template to determine where to put them - you will pin them just below the small dot on the upper corners and just above the small dot on the lower corners. Pin them so the unfinished edge is matched along the edge of the Petal Flora Fabric.
- Stitch the ties in place.
- Repeat on all six pieces of Petal Flora.
- With right sides together, and ties and cording on the inside, pin a Petal Jester piece to a Petal Flora piece. It's very important that you make sure your ties are all facing in and free of the seams.
- Stitch along THREE sides using the zipper foot. On the top edge, stitch slowly and as close to the cording as possible. On the edges without cording stitch using a standard ½" seam. You may change to a regular foot if you are more comfortable sewing with this on these edges. Leave one short edge open for turning and inserting the bumper pads.
- Turn the cover right side out so the cording and ties pop out... ta-da!
- Insert bumper pads into the cover.
NOTE: It will help give you a nice snug fit if you use the corner template to round the corners of the foam just as you did with the fabric panels.
- Turn under the seam allowance so your seam edges are flush to one another, and slip stitch the opening closed.
Hints and Tips
You may find it easier to insert the bumper pads if you place them in a plastic bag before doing so. This will allow them to slip more easily into the covers. Be sure to do this so that the bag can be removed after the pads are in the covers.

Registration is now open for a two-day LSAT prep class in Washington, D.C., set for Jan. 18 and 19.
"Students of modest means who ordinarily would not have access to an LSAT prep class due to cost should take advantage of this opportunity."
— Carla Pratt, associate dean of academic affairs, Penn State Law
"An LSAT score improved by just a few points can make all the difference in being admitted to law school," said Carla D. Pratt, associate dean of academic affairs at Penn State Law. "Students of modest means who ordinarily would not have access to an LSAT prep class due to cost should take advantage of this opportunity." Pratt recently co-authored a book on the precarious pipeline to the legal profession for African-Americans and is a scholar of race and the law; she is an alumna of Howard University and will share her unique perspective on both schools during one of the lunchtime panels.
The cost is normally $400; however, Penn State and Howard are covering all but $125 of the class fee. Need-based scholarships are also available for qualifying individuals; inquiries should be directed to Bekah Saidman-Krauss via email to email@example.com. In addition to LSAT preparation, participants will also get answers to questions about Penn State Law and Howard Law School from current students and admissions officers during lunchtime panel discussions. The class is open to any prospective law student.
LSAT expert, lawyer and former professor James Yoho will teach the class. Since 1996, Yoho has taught this LSAT test preparation at the request of schools such as La Salle, St. Joseph's, Centre d'Études Franco-Américainde Management (Lyon, France), Rutgers, Emory, Marist, Binghamton, Temple and Penn State. Yoho has taught at colleges and universities, including law schools, for more than 13 years.
The course will be held at Howard University School of Law, 2900 Van Ness St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20008. Lunch will be provided on both days. Students should plan to report at 8 a.m. Jan. 18 for sign-in.
Capacity for this program is limited. The registration deadline is 5 p.m. Jan. 6.

The largest port in Europe, Rotterdam is an intriguing mix of the old and the new. The city's lineage is ancient - Count Willem III granted city rights to the sleepy fishing village on the Rotte in 1328, yet much of the city dates from the six decades following the end of World War II. An important industrial center and a major European port, Rotterdam was among the first targets of the Nazi blitzkrieg against the West. On May 14, 1940, the German Luftwaffe firebombed the city, Rotterdam was gutted. The post-war years saw a slow rebuilding but by the early 1960s the maze of port facilities extended all the way to the North Sea. Today, this city of over half a million is the economic powerhouse, not just of the Netherlands but of Northern Europe.
The Nazi bombardment of 1940 gutted most of the old city. As a result, Rotterdam's architecture is an intriguing mix of old and new: modern glass skyscrapers often stand adjacent to 19th- and 18th-century buildings.
