Why Restaurant Food Stays Hot on Your Plate
Here's a good secret for Thanksgiving dinner or the next meal you cook. I learned this during a cooking class from the experts:
Never serve hot food on a cold plate!
Have you ever sat on a bench when it's cold outside? Your butt gets cold almost instantly! The same thing happens to your really hot food when you put it on a (comparatively) cold plate.
When you're at a restaurant, what does the server say whenever they bring your food? "Watch this plate, it's extremely hot." They're not trying to burn you, they just want your food to stay hot while you eat it.
Even buffets respect the warm plate. You know the hole at the end of the buffet that the plates magically rise from (see photo)? That's not there for ergonomics, that's a plate warmer.
So, if you're not doing it already, here is a list of ways to get your plates warm.
- Buy a plate warmer ($35 and up).
- Many ovens have a warming drawer underneath. No, that isn't a cookie-sheet graveyard.
- Set your cook-top on low heat and lay the plates on top.
- Rinse the plates in really hot water, then dry them.
- Some dishwashers have a plate warmer function, otherwise run the rinse cycle on high heat with a heated dry cycle.
- Put them in the microwave for a short time.
I should also say that the opposite is true, don't serve cold food on hot plates. For example, when you go to a buffet and they have hot bowls for your "hard" ice cream.
Happy Thanksgiving to my US readers!

Since pointers are declared of a specific data type they are allocated a specific amount of memory according to that data type.
Arithmetic is carried out based upon the units of allocated memory, by data type.
For instance, a char pointer is allocated one byte, an int pointer is allocated four bytes, arithmetic carried out upon these would be by the size of the data type; accordingly, a single increment of an int pointer would increase the pointed to address by four bytes, that is, the next integer.
Similarly, incrementing a char by one would increase the pointed to address by one byte:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () { char charArr[7] = {'V','a','n','e','s','s','a'} ; char *charPtr ; charPtr = charArr; for (int i = 0 ; i < 7 ; i++, charPtr++) { cout << "charArr[" << i << "] contains: " << *charPtr << " at address location: " \ << (int *) &charArr[i] << endl ; } return 0; }
Compile & Run:
|charArr[0] contains: V at address location: 0x28fef1
charArr[1] contains: a at address location: 0x28fef2
charArr[2] contains: n at address location: 0x28fef3
charArr[3] contains: e at address location: 0x28fef4
charArr[4] contains: s at address location: 0x28fef5
charArr[5] contains: s at address location: 0x28fef6
charArr[6] contains: a at address location: 0x28fef7
*Note: the address is having to be type cast (on line 12) due to cout overloading the << operator

Francis Bingham born 1893 - RFC pilot
Francis was born into a privileged family. His parents both came from pillars of Bristolian society and his father now directed the family's merchant bank. Its prestigious clientele included many of the merchant families, ship-owners and wine importers of Bristol.
Francis had boarded at Clifton College where he was in the top tier of students. He had a particular penchant for mathematics and the sciences and was a very keen sportsman. He played both cricket and rugby for the school, which he shared with fellow student and family friend Freddie Mills. In addition to sports, Francis was fascinated by speed and longed for a motorcycle: he was also a keen photographer, notably of Bristol's architecture and all things Brunel.
In 1912, Francis once again joined his friend Freddie at Cambridge, reading Physics at Corpus Christi. He had a wonderful first two years there however at the start of his third year he was desperate to postpone his studies and join the army. His father convinced him to complete his degree and in 1915 Francis applied for a commission in the recently formed Royal Flying Corps.
Francis had to obtain his pilot's licence privately to stand a better chance of becoming an RFC pilot. Once doing so Francis progressed as a 2nd Lieutenant in No. 2 Squadron serving in France. Flying a B.E.2c aircraft, Francis undertook roles in observation missions taking photographs of German positions. This dangerous work left the aircrews exposed to almost constant enemy anti-aircraft fire.
Prior to his squadron's role in the lead up to the Battle of The Somme, Francis had travelled back home to visit a comrade recovering from his injuries at Cleeve Hill Hospital, and it is here that he met the young nurse Hilda Thorne.

The 2014 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulation will be the sixth in a biennial series that began in 2004. This year's meeting will be held July 13-18 at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI, and will be accompanied by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on July 12-13. This GRC and GRS provide outstanding forums to present and discuss new findings about the mediation and regulation of RNA metabolism in normal and diseased states, and how such processes can be targeted and/or harnessed to treat human disease. Elucidating the basic mechanisms of post-transcriptional gene regulation is essential to fully understand the organization, evolution and function of present-day genomes, as well as the involvement of RNA metabolic dysfunction in numerous genetic and acquired disorders. Such fundamental knowledge underpins development of novel therapeutics based on or targeting specific post-transcriptional processes. Areas of emphasis at this year's meeting will include RNA evolution, RNA processing, editing and nucleotide modification, RNA-protein (RNP) complex assembly and dynamics, intra- and extra-cellular RNP transport, mRNA translation and decay, the functions of long and short non-coding RNAs, RNA toxicity, the contributions of abnormal RNA metabolism to congenital and neurodegenerative diseases, and novel therapeutic avenues arising from our ever-increasing understanding of post-transcriptional mechanisms. A key goal of the 2014 meeting is to increase interaction between academic and industrial scientists for their mutual benefit and to facilitate development of novel therapeutics. With this in mind, a significant proportion of this year's speakers come from companies working in this rapidly evolving therapeutic space. The GRC will convene approximately 45 speakers representing key areas of post-transcriptional gene regulation and therapeutic development, with a total of 160-200 participants from both academia and industry. Several short talks will be chosen from abstract submissions. Late afternoon poster sessions will enable all participants to contribute to and learn about the above-mentioned topics. Four top posters will be acknowledged: two graduate students'and two post-docs'. All participants will also interact at meal times and during free early afternoon and late evening periods. While the quality of science will be cutting-edge, the atmosphere is aimed at being relaxed and interactive. For early stage investigators, there will also be a two- day GRS immediately prior to the GRC;the GRS will provide an opportunity for these young scientists to both hone their speaking skills and to become comfortable participating in a high level scientific conference. For graduate students and postdocs interested in pursuing a career in industry, the GRS will include a panel discussion with industry leaders and early stage industry researchers.
As the only biopolymer capable of catalyzing chemical reactions, adopting complex 3-dimensional structures, and carrying genetic information, RNA is the central molecule around which all life on earth has evolved. Problems with RNA metabolism and regulation cause numerous human diseases, and emerging therapeutic approaches increasingly employ RNA as a therapeutic agent and/or therapeutic target. This meeting will provide a forum for discussion of cutting edge developments in RNA research, with particular emphasis on normal and abnormal regulation of RNA-based (i.e., post-transcriptional) processes, while increasing interaction between academic and industrial scientists to facilitate the translation of basic discoveries into novel therapeutics.

Spoof Wars Episode XLVII: The Plot Strikes Back is the upcoming sequel to both Spoof Wars Episode XII: The Dubious Maneuver and the Spoof Wars: Tales of the Jebi short films.
The film will return to the Spiff storyline setup in the first Spoof Wars, where Dharth Very Insidious has taken control of the Spiff Order and is preparing to take over the galaxy. The film will primarily focus on Only-One Cannotbe and Captain Typhon. The film reunites almost the entire cast of the original, and at the same time, boasts the largest cast of any of the films.
The film is updated and adapted from the original two sequels, The Approching Fury and Revenge of the Jebi, while complementing the new continuity of the short films in the Tales of the Jebi series. It is planned to be somewhere around 60 minutes long, and will wrap up all of the storylines introduced in the other films.
The movie is being shot in 1080p HD and mastered in 5.1 channel HD surround sound for an eventual release on Blu-Ray and DVD. It will be entirely green screened. It also promises to have the most action of any of the previous films.
Some initial filming began in March 2011, though principal photography started at the end of 2011. It will be finished...when it's done.
Opening Crawl
SEQUEL! Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Democracy. Following the Battle of Geneosmosis, the sinister Spiff Lord DHARTH BOB was captured, propelling the Spiff into a prolonged war with the Democracy. Leading the war effort, Jebi High Council member ONLY-ONE CANNOTBE fears for the future of the galaxy. CAPTAIN TYPHON, having discovered his untapped Jebi potential in a conflict with Bob, has aided Cannotbe in their search for justice.

Mired in pointless and confusing politics, the Galactic Democracy finds new strength in the leadership of SUPREME PITZA PULPYJUICE, former janitor. Yet, a dark presence looms on the horizon, ready to seize power. In a stunning move, the Spiff have covertly infiltrated the capital world of Croissant and freed Bob. Following intelligence, the Jebi have located the Spiff's leaders and plan to capture them and end the war.

Aided by his friends and his colleague SPRINT RENDER, smuggler SHAWN DUET has finally purchased a new cargo ship, dubbed the EON VULTURE II. While a Spacefleet task force prepares to capture the Spiff leaders, a celebration is underway to christen the new ship, which is being held in the outskirts of Democracy space for no logical reason whatsoever...

Behind the Scenes
Inital Concept
Plans for a full sequel to The Dubious Maneuver started as early as 2003. In fact, the inclusion of Dharth Very Insidious in the film was intended as a setup for a future storyline. The two direct sequels, The Approaching Fury and Revenge of the Jebi began pre-production and made it to early script-writing before they were shelved. The sequels were seen as too big a project at the time and way beyond the ability of the team, given the story plans. After the Special Edition, no more films were made until Typhon and Shadows of the Democracy. The stories stayed away from the original sequel plans because with so few characters, it would be hard to tell that story - so a new one was developed. With the decision to continue the storyline into Dark Equilibrium, the story changed to bring a close to the storyline and have the characters plan to go their separate ways at the end. However, as Jonathan and Sean returned to work on the short films, talk began about one final big Spoof Wars to end the series, wrap up the storylines, and go out with the biggest one yet. The idea evolved to naturally update the two abandoned sequels, compress them into one film, and follow directly from Dark Equilibrium. The project was seen by many as a chance to make up for things that were less than intended in the original, such as the fight choreography, costumes, humor, story and acting. Production began alongside the other films under the new name The Plot Strikes Back.
Work began on The Plot Strikes Back as early as April 2010, when everyone started pitching ideas for updates to the original storyline at Matt's birthday. Matt began writing the script, starting by keeping the best parts of the original sequel scripts, then updating them. Starting with those scenes and a rough outline, the team decided what parts they wanted and what scenes, locations and characters they wanted to parody. Over the summer of 2010, some very early prop making began, starting with lightsaber hilts. Rather than use toy lightsabers, Matt and Sean learned of some ways to use plumbing items, such as pop-up sink drains, to make much better saber hilts. They experimented with better dowel rods and devised a system of removable rods so that only one saber was needed for each person, and different kinds of rods could be used. Some early fight choreography was also started that summer and fall. Sean began work on his Only-One costume, making it from scratch. In spring of 2011, Eric Kaldenbach was brought in to fill the Exor role, but also provided additional support in making props and costumes. During this time, the script continued to be revised and tweaked.
The very first filming took place in March of 2011. Following an important day of filming Typhon and Exor's fight in Dark Equilibrium, the next day the entire fight between Only-One and Dharth Bob was entirely filmed. That summer and early fall all of Rig'ur Mortuus' scenes, several extras, all of Exor, Head Syphon and Barkeep's appearances and half of Sprint Render's scenes were filmed in addition to filming on the ther films. After a break to launch SpoofWarsFilms.com and start a new weekly series, The Rigors of Mortuus, filming picked up in March 2012, with almost all of Typhon and Only-One's scenes (fights not included).
Fan Movie Challenge
After attending the Fan Movie Awards at Star Wars Celebration V, Matt suggested that the movie be submitted to the Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge. Originally wanting to submit something in 2011, the team held off to focus on filming that spring and summer. After seeing the winners in 2011, the team agreed that they wanted to enter the film in some form for 2012's Challenge. With the announcement of Celebration VI, it was made a priority in early 2012. Restricted by length, music and the obvious potential that the movie would not be finished in time, Matt proposed that the submission could be a sort of "extended trailer", showing the important scenes, but working around what wasn't finished and without revealing the ending. Because of the deadline, production on the other films was put on hold to focus on the submission, beginning in February of 2012. Sadly, the Fan Movie Challenge did not happen for the first time in ten years. Even so, it prompted significant progress to be made, and the crew brought the Disco Fett costume to Star Wars Cebelbration VI instead.

VAN Nistelrooy is predicting that the Reds front pairing, which has yielded 25 goals in all competitions this campaign, can only improve.
The Anglo-Dutch alliance scored both United's goals in Saturday's 2-0 stroll at Villa Park.
And considering all United's struggles for form this term van Nistelrooy and Rooney's five-goal return between them in the last two matches against Wigan and Villa means they have scored more as a partnership than the prolific Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke pairing did in the treble season at this stage of the campaign!
"It is going well with Wayne and me up front," said Ruud. "There are goals between us. It is great to have a sort of a partnership there. It is developing. It is looking good and we can only get better."
Rooney, who has contributed 10 of the pair's haul, believes he can learn from his senior sidekick as the duo progress.
"I am pleased about my goals. Hopefully that will continue," he says. "We are both scoring and hopefully that will continue as well. Ruud is a great goalscorer and he will always score goals. I learn a lot from him."
United have won all their three away Premiership outings since the 4-1 low against Middlesbrough in October. But their dismal Old Trafford record has damaged their title challenge and van Nistelrooy is hoping to see out 2005 by restoring United's home power.
"The Portsmouth (3-0) and Wigan (4-0) Old Trafford victories have given us more confidence for our home games coming up now."

As the #MeToo #balancetonporc and #yotambién campaigns take off, and a tidal wave of sexual violence reports from individuals across the country come forward, I am plagued. I wonder if our society actually understands the terminology relating to this issue, and how it applies to the workplace. I've noticed the wrong terms used in incorrect contexts by media, press, news anchors and individuals publicizing an opinion about this issue and movement.
As someone who has spent their career understanding this issue and its nuances, incorrect terminology, and a lack of descriptive terms for survivors to utilize (especially in the workplace), makes me cringe. Let me be clear: when there is a lack of understanding regarding any topic or issue, misusing words can be a common occurrence. However, I fear that by not having a basic understanding of terminology, using terms incorrectly, or simply by not having accurate terms to describe behavior in the first place, we are only perpetuating the problem. It is abundantly clear that our society does not have a clear or fundamental understanding of the terminology that describes this behavior, how to best use it, and when.
The most common terms I have seen used lately when referring to violence in the workplace are: sexual violence; sexual assault; sexual harassment; and sexual misconduct.
What's interesting is that sexual violence and sexual misconduct are the umbrella terms. They encompass the range of sexual violations one could experience. This umbrella is a continuum that includes sexual harassment on one side and moves through sexual assault, rape, stalking, intimate partner violence, domestic violence, child sexual abuse, and drug facilitated sexual assault. My point is that each of these terms implies something different. Some have more stigma than others, some have more positive or negative connotations, but they are each meant to be used to describe a particular action. While reading this you might have a preconceived notion or judgement attached to a certain term. Does this judgement impact how you would choose to address the issue? Would it affect you addressing the issue at all?
In the workplace, two terms are commonly used: sexual harassment and sexual misconduct. Although the definition of sexual harassment provided by The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), does include an element of touch, it hard to see if the definition actually encompass sexual assault or rape. The words harassment and misconduct make this issue sound like it's a "light" or "diet" version. Unfortunately, sexual violence can occur in the workplace, as well as all other communities in our lives. What really worries me is the media's substitution of sexual violence for sexual misconduct.
The Harvey Weinstein scandal again and again was referred to as sexual misconduct. But when you look at the list of accusers, many of the scenarios describe sexual violence, rape, sexual assault, and many non-consensual sexual acts. These acts were not the "diet" version. When I think of sexual misconduct, I think about consensual sexual acts that should not be happening in the workplace. Like two people that are dating and make-out in the breakroom or have sex in a closet. Misconduct yes, but violent, forcible, unwanted, or non-consensual… No.
Unfortunately, the workplace is behind with its terminology. The two terms we get to use are sexual harassment or sexual misconduct. This is because the way we protect employees at work is based on the Civil Rights Act, Title VII. In layman's terms, as employees we have the right to work in an environment free from sexual harassment. Imagine if an employee is raped by a co-worker off hours (note* Sadly, this is a scenario I have heard play out more times than I can count.) When the workplace is notified, the first step is to contact law enforcement because rape is a violation of law. Literally the buck gets passed. Some workplaces stop there and do not know what to do to help or support their employee. Some workplaces begin a Human Resource investigation, but they are constrained to investigating a sexual harassment claim, since the definition does have a component of touch in it. But imagine how frustrating and possibly re-traumatizing it could be for a survivor of rape to have their employer's investigation described as sexual harassment.
What can we do…?
Ask our workplaces to have more inclusive language that defines the terms above! I recently ran across Ohio State University's new Sexual Misconduct policy, and Oregon State University's Sexual Misconduct and Discrimination Policy. These squishy new policies are developed help faculty, students, and staff. I was stunned and pleased at the terminology described and utilized in these policies. I believe both OSU's can be a role model for colleges and universities, and can guide workplaces to adjust their policies to accurately describe this issue and its expanse. I have yet to find an awesome standard workplace policy that includes the spectrum of sexual violence. Let me know if you find one, I'd love to see it!!
Let's keep the conversation going. Please comment or ask questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Since deadly anthrax-laced letters were sent through the U.S. mail in 2001, killing five people and spreading nationwide panic, the FBI has beefed up its bioterror capabilities and created a Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate to focus on lethal threats.
The branch has had some successes, such as the 2008 arrest of a Las Vegas man who was preparing ricin in his hotel room. But the recent arrest - and quick release - of Mississippi Elvis impersonator Paul Kevin Curtis, who was accused of sending poisoned letters to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a local judge, has tested the agency's responses all over again.
Here are five lessons that could emerge from the episode:
- BEWARE THE OBVIOUS - In investigating the anthrax letters of 2001, the FBI promptly focused on a researcher who had been fingered by several scientists as a suspicious person because of his unusual background and behavior. Authorities moved quickly to search his residence near the bioterror labs at Fort Detrick, Maryland, and Attorney General John Ashcroft publicly named him as a "person of interest" before agents had enough evidence to bring charges. In the ricin case, the FBI appears to have based its arrest largely on a single clue to the suspect's identity. The letters used a sign-off similar to one Curtis used on social media and in other correspondence, including letters to members of Congress. In court, agents said they found no ricin or devices used to make it and nothing to suggest Curtis was researching how to make the poison. Curtis said the letters were an attempt by someone he knew to frame him. His attorney could not be reached for comment.
- VERIFY, VERIFY, VERIFY - The science of a bioterror case is so crucial to winning convictions that the FBI must ensure it has the most complete possible analysis of the material before jumping to conclusions. In the anthrax case, sophisticated laboratory analyses done by leading laboratories around the globe ultimately convinced the FBI that it had the wrong man. Agents used the DNA fingerprint of the anthrax to locate the exact vial at Fort Detrick from which the deadly spores originated. In the ricin case, Curtis was arrested when agents had only a preliminary finding that the material was ricin, based on field tests. Prosecuting attorneys said in court in Mississippi this week that they were still waiting on final results from the tests.
- ASSESS DANGERS BEFORE ALARMING THE PUBLIC - The material used in the anthrax mailings was a highly lethal aerosolized agent, which led to the deaths of postal workers handling the letters and recipients of the random mailings. But the ricin used in the recent mailings was described in court as a crude granular form, and the real dangers posed by the substance are unclear. An FBI agent testified that the ricin looked like castor beans ground up in a blender, according to press accounts. Since that would have to be ingested to poison a person, there is no evidence that the ricin letters - which were intercepted at off-site mail-sorting facilities for Capitol Hill and the White House - posed anything close to an emergency.
- AVOID POLITICAL PRESSURE - When poisonous letters are addressed to members of Congress or the president, the political stakes for the FBI are enormous. Adding to the pressure was the fact that the FBI also was trying to solve the Boston Marathon bombings that put the agency under congressional pressure. FBI officials were conducting a briefing on Capitol Hill on the Boston case within hours after the ricin letters were found, when they were joined by Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer, who told senators about the ricin letter sent to Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker. Senator Claire McCaskill emerged from the briefing to say there was already a suspect in the ricin case - someone who wrote to senators often. The complicated anthrax case - including false accusations against an original suspect - led to years of congressional scrutiny for the FBI and took a toll on public confidence in the agency's crime-fighting abilities.
- APOLOGIZE AND MOVE ON - With anthrax, it took six years and an embarrassing lawsuit for the Justice Department to issue its guarded exoneration of a falsely accused suspect, who walked away with a $5.8 million annuity as a settlement. The decision to free Curtis because of a lack of evidence was a first step, but the FBI made clear it would keep its options open in case his name re-emerged in the investigation. It remains unclear whether Curtis plans to sue the government for false accusations.

So... why bring all this up again? Well, I believe that as we daily feast on the Bible, remind ourselves of the Gospel, and preach to ourselves Christ crucified and resurrected, we should also develop the habit of asking the Lord to reveal to us where we might be going in our giving of our affections... our "worship direction" I might say. This is consistent with the Psalmist cry for the Lord to reveal his "hidden sins" (Psalm 19:12). We want the Lord to show us where we might be going wrong before we go wrong. It is like us getting a medical check-up to see if everything is still going in a right way before we see symptoms of sickness; it is like preventative lawn care instead of waiting until your overrun with weeds. We can ask the Lord to help us take a healthy look at ourselves just long enough to see what we have been giving most of our time and affections to as well. We are continually overflowing worship like a fire-hydrant. We need the Lord's help to make sure we are overflowing in the right direction. Let's ask the Lord to help us direct the wellsprings of our souls towards Him, the Fountain of Living Water.
I was looking into a Christian music artist this morning that I have never heard of before and ran across one of his blogs which offered a humbling perspective about true success for music ministers. However, I believe his blog post can serve us all this morning . Whether you are someone who believes God has gifted you to serve His local church with musical gifting, if you are someone who just loves Christian music, or if you are someone who desires sometimes to serve in other ways that are more "visible" in the church, I believe you will benefit from reading it. This post was a good tool for me to use to check my "worship direction" for today. Here are just a few questions I asked myself:
1. When I love, am I giving myself to God or am I outpouring myself to ministry? (Am I a Mary or a Martha? Luke 10:39-42)
2. When I sing, am I in love with the God that the lyrics point to in music, or am I wrapped up the actual music? (Do I think Jesus is awesome or do I think drum fill and electric solo is awesome?)
3. When I serve, do I desire to be used by God in whatever capacity He wants, or do I desire to be used in a place that makes me visible before lots of people?
I was humbled as someone who is involved with music on a more regular basis than some, but I hope that as you read it you can use it to ask yourself healthy questions about your own perspectives about Christian music. However, whether you read it or not, let me encourage us all to have a worship check-up this morning after we have eaten from the Word and drank from the Gospel. Let's ask God to help direct our worship to where it belongs.

We are slowly being cooked here in the 'deep south': the worst time of day is during the evening show when the tent has boiled up all day in the heat and high humidity and then 250 people come in and add their heat and sweat. The boss has brought in portable air conditioners but they are incredibly noisy: the performers continue to sweat and get distracted. Still, so far, we are getting by on this tour – just!
The only time we can really do our vital strength training is about six in the morning, when it is coolest and least humid. Everyone in the camping bus is sleeping naked with no covers (although the naked bit I guess is normal) – a metal vehicle is also quite good at heat absorption, and I swear it was nearly raining in there yesterday afternoon.
This morning – amazingly – I slept long after Dave had slipped out of our bunk and the rest of the crew were hard at work in the clear center area of the bus. Dave and Gary making human benches for the ladies to do their dumbbell presses: Zach fighting with the kids (all three, with Jaymee appearing to be stamping on his face) – not sure what any of them were training for at that point. However, when he caught my eye, Zach swung himself up alongside me and zapped the curtains closed. Now we never use those curtains normally, but having the kids with us has prevented us, by and large, from us gay guys indulging ourselves in – ahem – what gay guys like to do. Even though we can partner up any which way as a result of our sworn Tuan Jie agreement. This time, Zach whispered his own frustration in my ear and…
There is an unwritten rule that when curtains are closed, no-one interferes. The kids know that too. So that was one major frustration for Zach and I dealt with – in about five 'snatched' minutes.
I said at the outset that I didn't really think I would enjoy my short stay with this circus tour. I have a UK reader sending me pictures of cool Appalachian scenes, and I can't stop myself thinking of this:
The good news is that the kids and I will actually be there in about three week's time – something of a contrast from steamy Louisiana! – although I do not expect snow on the mountains in July – not even in 'wet-and-windy' Wales UK. We'll see…
Oh, enough whinging. Let me share some pictures of fit guys doing their fitness things in a temperate zone with normal humidity!!
Straddle lift to handstand.
Elbow lever.
Oblique abs crunches.
Rock climbing. One suitably shirtless and one wrapped in an anorak and hood. Guess the weather conditions!
Mates enjoying the workout.
Shoulder work.
Time out from the bench press.
Time to stretch those hamstrings.
If you're going to arm-wrestle on the gym floor, make sure that your opponent has had a tougher workout than you…
…and, if your favourite resistance machine in the gym develops a fault, there are other ways of working out your frustrations! Just effect a quick repair with the equipment provided!

The name says it all!
We had some fun in this place shouting and screaming at this beautiful place. You can clearly hear your echo if you scream loud enough. But watch out for monkeys which may be hanging around. :)

Good spot to explain echoes to children
The echoing happens across the river. When one shouts from one bank there is echo from the other bank. One can also hear multiple echoes if one shouts in the right direction :-).There is a toilet facility in the vicinity although not very clean.There are vendors all over the place and there is enough to eat from the stalls. No proper restaurant is available.

Scenic beauty
Even though 65 steps to walk to the point location is very attractive. On the way to Echo point we can enjoy the Scenic beauty. We 7 member team visited this place on 12th April 2016. All are Sr. citizen except our niece and grand children. But all of them enjoyed the trip. The fee is very reasonable Rs. 25/- per Adult. Round about 34 km away fro Munnar town.We got a rain hence we could not steps further where the cinema shooting was held. We have to park our vehicles one and half kilometer away from the destination. Very greenery hills will give mind blowing experience.

Good one
Very good place to enjoy with your family. Loved this place. At summer this waterfall doesn't have too much water and hence pulls less crowd. But that is advantage for peace lovers. One can take a bath as well. Bathroom and locker facilities are available. In monsoon the water level increases and it's not safe for bath anymore. Very good place for nature lovers and photographers too.

Its could be the best place in Munnar only if people stop shouting for the echo of their voice. Serene and calm lake with the huge vegetation behind makes this place a very special place for the nature lovers.

The new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is attracting the world's attention. In its efforts to gain more economic clout, China has attracted 57 countries to join in establishing the AIIB for development projects.
Global membership was welcomed by Beijing. But Washington criticized certain aspects of the project and distanced itself from participating, Xinhua reported.
Major economic powers were quick to join the project, which raised questions about the effectiveness of the International Monetary Fund. At the same time, some believe that Beijing may have the ability to change the pole of global economic decisions.
Fifty seven countries will work together to set up rules and regulations of the AIIB Bank which is based in Beijing. They will do so with a budget of $50 billion.
The main goal of this project is to provide financial support for the construction of roads, railways, airports and other infrastructure projects in Asia. The founding members can formulate management rules, set the framework and make decisions. Associate members will have the right to vote on the bank's decisions.
Seven Arab nations have joined the bank. Egypt as a founder member and the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Oman and Kuwait as associate members.
Seventeen countries inside the European Union rushed to apply for the status as founder member, most notably France, Germany, the UK, Italy and Portugal.
There have been reports claiming the AIIB could become a rival to the World Bank and the ADB – the Asian Development Bank which is dominated by the US and Japan.
"The world expects these countries who have decided to join, expect that the institution will be governed well, will be governed by the high standards that are applied elsewhere at other international financial institutions, that's still to be worked out," IMF First Deputy Managing Director David Lipton told Business Middle East.

Land Rover has updated its Discovery premium seven seat SUV range for 2019 to include a new twin-turbocharged 306HP diesel engine, the latest driver assistance safety technologies and enhanced customer convenience.
The new 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine which will be identified with the SDV6 badge will produce 306HP and an impressive 700Nm of torque. The engine is capable of powering the Discovery from 0-60mph in 7.0 seconds and has a certified towing capacity of 3,500kg.
As part of Land Rover's continued engine technology developments, the SDV6 now features twin-turbochargers, a revised air intake system with twin intercoolers and an eight-nozzle injector design for optimised performance and efficiency.
All Discovery powertrains including petrol versions will now come equipped with particulate filters to make them even cleaner than their predecessors. The efficient, close-coupled filters are neatly integrated into the after treatment system and trap soot as the exhaust gas passes through them. Under normal driving conditions, the trapped soot will be oxidised into CO2 and the filter regenerated whenever the driver lifts off the accelerator.
The latest Discovery models now come with Clear Exit Monitor, which alerts the driver and passengers if vehicles, cyclists or other hazards are approaching from behind when exiting the vehicle. If an obstacle is detected then a warning light will flash on the door alerting occupants.
Adaptive Cruise Control now includes Stop & Go to support the driver at all times. It maintains the driver's selected speed when safe, but also automatically adjusts it to maintain a predetermined distance from the vehicle in front. The technology can even smoothly stop the vehicle in heavy traffic and, if the traffic moves again within three seconds of stopping, automatically resume and follow the car in front.
These technologies join a host of Driving Assistance features which Land Rover claim will help their customers by delivering the safest possible drive wherever they choose to go. Land Rover has also simplified the process for customers specifying their vehicle with safety features now split into three packages; Park Pack, Drive Pack and Driver Assist Pack.

My Creative Space
I did it again... I cast on another shawl... and yes I cast on before finishing those socks- again. BUT for my defense I should say I committed to this first before deciding I should finish all my unfinished knitting projects... Because this is a Nurturing Fibres Babymoon Knit-a-long... the idea was that we all cast on after Carle had her baby boy and we knit anything we desire with Nurturing Fibres Wool.
I naturally ended up choosing a shawl - really I am getting very predictable aren't I? More details can be found on my project page.

UCONN MEN: Huskies picked 9th in Big East poll (video)
NEW YORK -- Two years ago, the UConn men's basketball team was picked to finish 10th in the conference coaches' preseason poll. The Huskies went on to win a national championship.
A year later, UConn was selected to finish tied for first with Syracuse. A disappointing year ensued, one that ended with a ninth-place Big East finish and a first-round NCAA tourney ouster.
The Huskies hope to buck the trend again this season. At Wednesday's Big East Media Day, UConn was slotted to finish ninth in the conference by the league's coaches.
"We just have to go out there and fight every game just like if we were ranked No. 1," sophomore guard Ryan Boatright said. "We've got something to prove, and I feel like we're going to go out there and do that."
Added junior Shabazz Napier: "My sophomore year, I felt like we thought we were bigger than what we were. We looked at our number and said, 'Wow, that's our name beside it,' and were happy about it. This year, we're looking at a number and a name and we're like, 'OK , it's a number and a name.' I feel like this year, we're even tighter. This year, instead of one guy pushing through that wall, it's 11 guys pushing through that wall."
Of course, even if UConn surprises everyone and finishes at or near the top of the conference, there will be no chance for a national title. The Huskies are barred from postseason play due to low Academic Progress Rate scores in recent years. Their only achievable goal, at least tangibly, is a Big East regular-season title.
"The biggest goal is every day," said first-year coach Kevin Ollie. "If you want to have an overall goal, that's something we can accomplish. We can't accomplish the Big East or NCAA tournament. But what we can do is win the Big East regular-season title."
Ollie doesn't attach much significance to the Huskies' preseason ranking.
"If I see a recruit who's (ranked) 100, and I know he can play, I look at him as a player, not as a recruit," he said. "It's about what you do on the floor."
Napier was UConn's only individual preseason honoree, earning second-team All-Big East recognition.
Louisville is the unanimous choice to win the conference, followed by Syracuse and Notre Dame, which got the only other first-place vote from Louisville coach Rick Pitino. Coaches aren't allowed to vote for their own team.
Louisville guard Peyton Siva was tabbed as preseason player of the year, while Pittsburgh freshman center Steven Adams is the rookie of the year pick.
It is worth noting that, while the Big East presidents have agreed that teams ineligible for the NCAA tournament are also barred from the annual conference tourney at Madison Square Garden, UConn is holding out a slim bit of hope that the league presidents change their mind. The presidents meet again in a couple of weeks in Chicago for what would appear to be the Huskies' last chance.
"It's possible that it could be discussed," new Big East commissioner Mike Aresco said on Wednesday, "but again, UConn hasn't indicated yet what they want to do. It could be discussed, but I want to state that that's our policy of our conference at this point."
Aresco, a Middletown product who attended Xavier High, did have some good news about the Big East tournament to relay: the event will continue to be held at Madison Square Garden for the foreseeable future. The Big East and Madison Square Garden have agreed to a multi-year extension of their contract.
"Madison Square Garden has been the Big East's home for 30 years," Aresco said, "and has produced some of the signature moments in college basketball history. We are happy that our teams will continue to bring the excitement of Big East basketball to the Garden."
With the defection of Syracuse to the Atlantic Coast Conference after this season, there has been some worry that the ACC may try to hold its championship tournament at MSG, at least periodically.
The Big East's current contract with MSG doesn't expire for another four years. There was no word on how many years the new deal will entail.

text: "Feminism isn't about making women stronger, women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength." Quote by GD Anderson Michelle Canning, a member of the Belfast, Lisburn & Castlereagh Chapter, explains why she got involved in The Next Chapter project and how she plans to confront injustice. "A few years ago I participated in a Politics Plus programme called Women in Public Life, where I pledged that I would pursue my professional and personal development and work to effect change for all women across all walks of life. So, when I spotted the call out for The Next Chapter I immediately wanted to get involved. Almost one year on and it has been an enlightening experience where I have had the privilege of having the opportunity to experience diversity of political and social opinion; real diversity and representation of society across creed, culture, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, language and personality. It has offered fresh perspectives on the discourse around gender inequality, and facilitated women to voice their opinions in a safe and welcoming space in order to address issues and bring them into the spotlight. As someone brought up in a working-class border community, a former journalist and now a public servant, I understand the need for strong advocates, lobbying on behalf of the needs of communities to effect real and sustainable change. I understand the need for legislative reform and the need for engagement and authentic consultation with people and communities about their future. I understand how I can use my skills more effectively to work towards securing effective change for others, improving the representation of women in public and political life and to contribute to a more gender sensitive society across the island of Ireland. I am planning to embark on a part-time MA in Human Rights in the autumn. I have no idea which path it will take me down, what opportunities it will lend me but I do know it will stimulate my heart and my mind. So why not join me and the 300 other women across the 10 Chapters and inspire us, show us your vision, use your energy to face the challenges, to confront injustice, embrace challenge, contribute to a positive legacy and to work to ensure real change that benefits all of us." Michelle Canning is also co-founder of Women in PR Photo: Michelle (back row, far right) with co-participants from the Belfast, Lisburn & Castlereagh Chapter and Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly Women's Caucus at a recent Next Chapter event to mark International Women's Day 2019 at Parliament Buildings, Stormont.

Ann Nyberg was an overmatched moderator – unclear on the ground rules and procedures, and constantly making that "shooshing" sound that came off like a teacher who lost control of her classroom.
Linda McMahon began strong but faded. (I understand she then ducked out of the post-debate "spin room.") Richard Blumenthal made his case, sometimes smoothly, sometimes clumsily.
Blumenthal mistakenly said World Wrestling Entertainment had spent "hundreds of millions," rather than "millions," of lobbying dollars.
McMahon at one point got tongue-tied and said, "Mr. Blumenthal, when you go to Washington." She meant "if" you go to Washington. She also placed her opponent at a trial lawyers' conference in Calgary, Canada, rather than Vancouver.
There were other niggling pluses and minuses for both. The other debate commentators will be able to navigate them better than I.
What matters to me is that Blumenthal, when given the opportunity, said this:
I can't believe that I just heard Ms. McMahon brag about this wellness policy at WWE. She requires all wrestlers to sign a death clause that absolves WWE of all responsibility if wrestlers are killed in the ring and if the company is at fault — absolves her company of all responsibility. That wellness policy is not working too well. There have been seven dead wrestlers since she started campaigning for this office. I would suggest some other policy might be advisable.

Latest ASLEF News
The Jack Leslie statue campaign
DB Shenker 'underhand' as ballot papers go out
02 September 2011
Ballot papers went out today seeking the endorsement of ASLEF members for industrial action in the company. The result of the membership vote will be known on 19 September. Meanwhile the company's 'dark arts' section has moved into overdrive.
Several drivers from a number of locations have contacted ASLEF's head office complaining at managers circulating rumours and giving briefings which are a good deal wide of the truth.
They have claimed in mess-rooms that the dispute is over a single individual case - which is blatantly not the case. The dispute is about the company's general approach towards discipline, which the union says is 'frequently inconsistent, unfair, excessive and draconian'.
Managers have also been claiming that the union's full time officer is responsible for the dispute and that he does not have the backing of the Company Council or the membership. This is false. The ballot was called by elected representatives at both company and national level. The national executive had no hesitation in making a unanimous decision to instigate a ballot when they received reports about the company's discipline record.
'It is a sign of either incompetence or panic when management behave in this way,' said ASLEF general secretary Keith Norman.Back »

text: The Nokia 3.2 (Review) is finally official in India and it comes just a few weeks after HMD launched the Nokia 4.2 in the country. Both the phones were first announced at MWC 2019 in February, so the company has taken a fair bit of time to bring them to India. The Nokia 3.2 is an affordable Android One handset that falls below the Nokia 4.2 in the current hierarchy.The latest Nokia phone boasts of a tall waterdrop display and a two-day battery life. In addition to this, the phone also runs on the latest Android Pie software and brings a dedicated Google Assistant button as well as a notification light power button, among other things. Here's a quick look at what the Nokia 3.2 is all about.Nokia 3.2 specificationsDisplay: The Nokia 3.2 sports a 6.26-inch HD+ (1520×720) TFT LCD display with 269ppi, 19:9 aspect ratio and 2.5D glass protection.Performance: It is powered by a octa-core Snapdragon 429 SoC.RAM: It is offered with 2GB and 3GB of RAM.Internal storage: The 2GB RAM option comes with 16GB of internal storage, while the 3GB variant is paired with 32GB of inbuilt storage. The phone supports storage expandability up o 400GB via microSD card.Rear camera: The Nokia 3.2 gets a single 13-megapixel f/2.2 camera with LED flash support.Front camera: It also gets a 5-megapixel selfie camera.Battery: The handset houses a beefy 4,000mAh battery.Software: The Android One device ships with stock Android 9 Pie.Nokia 3.2 features– Like the Nokia 4.2, the Nokia 3.2 also highlights a dedicated Google Assistant button. The button will allow the user to quickly access the Google AI with a simple tap. A single press of the button will wake up Assistant, a double press will bring up a display with information relevant to you and a long press will let you make longer requests. With the button, you can also open Assistant without having to unlock the device.advertisement– Additionally, the phone also gets a notification LED light that is embedded in the home button on the side. Much like the Nokia 4.2, the power button-cum-notification light makes it easier to know when you receive a message whether you place the device on its front or back.– A key feature about the Nokia 3.2 is its large 4,000mAh battery that the company promises will take you through two days on a single charge. This is with the help of a combination of factors that includes a low power consuming chipset along with the Adaptive Battery feature of Android Pie.– The Nokia 3.2 is the second phone after Nokia 4.2 to launch with a waterdrop display. The 6.26-inch HD+ display comes with a small droplet-shaped notch to offer a distraction-free viewing experience.– The Nokia 3.2 is an Android One device, which means it runs on a stock and clean Android 9 Pie software that comes bloatware-free. As an Android One device, the Nokia 3.2 will get at least two major software updates in the future along with monthly security patches.Nokia 3.2 price in India and availabilityThe Nokia 3.2 starts at Rs 8,990 in India. This is for the base model with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. It also comes in a 3GB + 32GB option that comes at a recommended best buy price of Rs 10,790. The Nokia 3.2 will be available in Black and Steel colour options across top mobile retail stores in India and via Nokia.com/phones starting Thursday, May 23.

The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) on Sunday announced that the group's central committee had adopted a plan under which the Palestinians would seek to join 60 United Nations bodies and international treaties, per a report by Agence France-Presse (AFP) subsequently cited in both Arabic and Israeli media:
Palestine People's Party Secretary-General Bassam al-Salhi said that the council "affirms the need for the Palestinian leadership to continue membership of UN agencies and international conventions, under the Palestinian plan that was adopted."
The move follows the collapse of the already floundering Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, after the signing of a unity pact between Hamas and Fatah on Wednesday, and Israel's subsequent decision to halt the negotiations.
The moves came a day after Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas gave a speech doubling down on a recent decision by his Fatah faction to reconcile with the rival Hamas group, and then offering to listen to Israel in the context of peace talks provided that Jerusalem would offer a raft of concessions beforehand. The speech fell flat.
The Palestinian push to join international institutions – which reemerged in earnest at the beginning of April, with Abbas announcing that Ramallah would seek to ascend to over a dozen multilateral treaties – had quickly been criticized for fundamentally undermining the core gamble of the peace process. Several decades of Israeli-Arab peacemaking had been premised on the notion that Israel could reliably trade fundamentally irreversible tangible concessions, usually but not always land, for theoretically reversible intangible commitments, most often normalization.
Palestinian moves to boost their diplomatic status outside of negotiations with Israel, which violate among other things Olso Accord obligations that Israel secured via territorial concessions spanning decades, were blasted for creating a situation in which those theoretically reversible intangible commitments were in fact pocketed.
Independent of the peace process, the new move will deepen fears of what has been described as a kind of "scorched earth" campaign, under which Palestinian diplomats ascend to and then politicize international institutions, turning them against Israel and in the process endangering their neutrality and credibility.
U.S. lawmakers had expressed exactly such fears when the Palestinians sought and eventually secured an upgrade via the United Nations General Assembly to become a nonmember state. Ramallah had previously gained a seat at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) over similar U.S. objections, triggering a congressional backlash that financially crippled UNESCO:
UNESCO is in its "worst ever financial situation" after its biggest contributor the United States froze funding last year, the director general of the United Nations' cultural agency said on Thursday.
The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization was plunged into crisis in October 2011 when Washington, an ally of Israel, cancelled its grant in protest at the body's decision to grant the Palestinians full membership.
By 2014 – after several sessions in which Israel was subject to lopsided criticism by the body – Palestinian media outlets were openly boasting about how the organization was now focused on pursuing anti-Israel resolutions and investigations.

text: bieito666 0 Posted June 3, 2018 Hi, i found the solution for the error with automatic transmission in skoda car. It is reported as pending in another thread, but a don't have how to respond on it. With version 1.31, the skoda automatic transmission don't work. It can be fixed in singel player by opening the skoda mod file (or any other car created from this) with 7zip or similar and editing the file /def/vehicle/truck/skoda.superb\transmission\6_speed.sii by adding the following line to the file: stall_torque_ratio: 2.89 In multiplayer, the file is downloaded in c: \ programdata \ truckersmp \ data \ shared \ mods \ sh_skoda_car.mp. You can open with 7zip and mod the file that I indicated above, but when you start the client, the modified file will be deleted and the original version will be downloaded again. If the creators of multiplayer mod change the file, all we can work with this. 6_speed.sii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been wondering if it would be possible for a Western country such as the UK, Australia or New Zealand to buy weapons from Russia or China instead of almost exclusively from the United States. Could Australia or New Zealand potentially buy Sukhoi, the J-10 or small arms like Kalashnikov?

Studying the Impact of Adopting Continuous Integration on the Delivery Time of Pull Requests
Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development practice that leads developers to integrate their work more frequently. Software projects have broadly adopted CI to ship new releases more frequently and to improve code integration. The adoption of CI is motivated by the allure of delivering new functionalities more quickly. However, there is little empirical evidence to support such a claim. Through the analysis of 162,653 pull requests (PRs) of 87 GitHub projects that are implemented in 5 different programming languages, we empirically investigate the impact of adopting CI on the time to deliver merged PRs. Surprisingly, only 51.3% of the projects deliver merged PRs more quickly after adopting CI. We also observe that the large increase of PR submissions after CI is a key reason as to why projects deliver PRs more slowly after adopting CI. To investigate the factors that are related to the time-to-delivery of merged PRs, we train regression models that obtain sound median R-squares of 0.64-0.67. Finally, a deeper analysis of our models indicates that, before the adoption of CI, the integration-load of the development team, i.e., the number of submitted PRs competing for being merged, is the most impactful metric on the time to deliver merged PRs before CI. Our models also reveal that PRs that are merged more recently in a release cycle experience a slower delivery time.

Introduction: Build a 15$ PC
In Indonesia, you can find so many Junk Store in every city. In the junk store, you can sell an old / broken things like electronics tool, bottle, metal, and anything! Also we can buy something too.. The awesome thing is, if we buy something from this store, the price is very-very low!! And, this is why i will try to build a Computer from old parts that i buy from the junk store.
Is the PC will work? Lets find out!
- If hard to find junk store at your country, you can search the pc part at the online shop. Buy the old parts of pc that you need. But the price will more expensive than the pc parts that i buy at junk store in my country.
- Every junk store have a difference price
- Not every electronics at the junk store still works. So do it by your desire.
Step 1: Buy All Internal Parts of Pc at the Junk Store
After long time searching for a good parts at the junk store, and this is what i got:
- Motherboard + Processor & Heatsink (The price is about 7$)
- 2 pcs of 1 gb Ram (4$) (The ram type is depends the motherboard. In this case i use DDR2 Ram.)
- Hardisk (4$)
- Power supply (2$)
So total price is about 17$. Wow!!
For the motherboard, i got Biostar TA785GE with AMD Athlon X2 processor. The Ram is unplugged from broken pc than i pay for it.
Does the price make sense?? But yeah!!! its real!!!
Tips (Image 8): Before you buy all the parts, check the components like capacitor, pcb, and all socket. Don't buy it if the components is broken/missing.
Step 2: Cleaning Job
Almost every old things will be dirty, so it will inhibit the fuction. For fix that issue, lets clean all the parts first.
I only used soft brush to clean the motherboard, heatsink, also the power supply. Clean all the dust and blow the dust for make it more clean.
Don't use wet tissue or wet cloth!
After you finish clean all of the parts, lets next to other steps.
Step 3: Check the Important Things From Pc
Check if your Ram pins is complete and no stains. If the Ram pins is dirty, you can use white rubber eraser to clean the pin by rubbing it.
Processor is like a human brain, so its important to check it first. Check your processor pins. check if the pins is not bend and its complete. DON'T TOUCH THE PINS!. If the processor pins bend, you can use tweezer to make the pin straight again.
Step 4: Temperature Is Important
Even if everything from secondhand goods, but still must be the best. So to make the system still cool if this pc used, I add thermal grease to heatsink. So the heat from processor will be more fast to passed through the heatsink. The effect is the computer will run without frezze screen.
Step 5: Processor
Ok, now its the time to insert the processor to the motherboard.
- First, open the processor lock at the socket
- Place the processor slowly in accordance with the socket
- Next, lock the processor
- Place the heatsink
- Insert the heatsink lock to the holder and lock the heatsink by turn the lock from left to right
- After that, plug in the heatsink fan cable to the socket beside the processor
Step 6: Almost Finish
- Like processor, first open the Ram lock, insert the ram to the socket, and lock the Ram.
- Next, you need Sata to Sata cable for the harddisk, and plug it in. Also plug the power cable from the power supply
- Next, Plug in all the wire from the power supply to motherboard.
After all finished, now you can turn on the pc and test it
Step 7: My Problem
Before trying to turn on the pc, first i plug the hardisk to my other computer to install the Windows, but after long-long time waiting the bootscreen, the harddisk is so slow and sometimes its not detected. I realized that the harddisk is "Bad sector". So it will inhibit the pc performance. To fix this problem, I change the harddisk with my other pc harddisk.
Step 8: Lets Test Our Work
Don't too fast! You need to plug in your pc to monitor, also plug in your mouse and keyboard. Don't forget to place the motherboard on the dry and safe place, don't place at the metal place. Because it will broke your motherboard so fast. Ok lets try this!!
Q : But, how to turn on pc without power switch on pc case??
A : Search a tactile switch like image 2, and try to push one of the switch.
Step 9: See If It Works
After i trying this pc for a day, I'm not find any problem, the pc is do the job perfectly. I also tried to play games on this pc, and the pc did the job well.
This is the performance while playing a game:
First i tried to play ETS 2
- Graphic: Medium
- Resolution: 800x600
- Frame per second/FPS : min 20 max 60. So the game is playing smoothly.
Next, GTA San Andreas
- Graphic: Medium
- Resolution: 1280x720
- FPS: about 30 FPS
Its not bad allright?? We also can do our job with this pc.
Step 10: Upgrade!
Computer without case will be dangerous, so if you have more budget, you can buy a case for your pc, but if you more creative, you can custom your own case. You can use wood, plastic, or anything for make the case.
If you have the case, all you need to do is:
- Place your motherboard to case and screw it
- Install your power supply and harddisk
- In the pc case, there is panel cable like image 5. You just need to plug it in to the panel socket at motherboard (Image 6). There is information for cable, so plug the cable to the right socket.
Step 11: Thats It!
Our work is make a good result. This is fun project for science contest, education for kids or just hobby. Also this is will save your money, suitable for students!!!!
Only this for today!. Thank you very much, i hope you liked it!!
If you have any question, write it on the comment section.
