Four teams entered Tuesday tied for first place in the Mt. Hood Conference, with two of them being Central Catholic and Clackamas. There is no love lost between the two schools, who are tops in the league in most sports. Their first meeting, in January, nearly came to blows and technicals were assessed. One intentional foul was called Tuesday, but it was a largely tame contest. Clackamas came out on top 66-62, to stay tied for first in the conference. Here's what stood out:

Cole Turner didn't want to lose
Turner, a 6-foot-6 post and Nevada football commit, twice beat Central Catholic in football and improved his season record in both sports to 4-0 with Tuesday's home win. The Cavaliers' leader, Turner finished with 19 points, plus four steals and one massive fourth quarter block. He even knocked down a three-pointer. He was a focal point of Central Catholic's defense and they collapsed on him when he caught the ball in the post, but he muscled his way to the basket, getting fouled or finishing on several occasions.
Meet Central Catholic's new post
Guarding Turner for much of the game was SataieVior Ayilola, who is new to Central Catholic after playing his first two seasons at Grant. The 6-foot-6 burly lefty was terrific as a rim-protector and scorer. Facing the athletic Turner, Ayilola finished with 15 points. Most of his buckets came after he leaped to the rim, braced for contact, and then hit a layup on the way down. Uncoventional, Ayilola is strong and athletic enough to get away with it. He also blocked four shots. Central Catholic led by as many as 12 points in the second quarter, but when Ayilola went to the bench in that frame with two fouls, Clackamas staged a 17-4 run to get back in the game. Athletically a junior, Ayilola is academically a sophomore. He will only have one more year of high school eligibility.
Bench boost
The Cavalier's second-leading scorer was senior Mitch Modjeski, who finished with 15 points. He missed a few recent games with academic issues, but came back off the bench to play a big role for the Cavs. His two-pointer with under two minutes left gave Clackamas a 64-60 lead and the Rams were never able to bring it again to a one-possession game.
Clackamas has seniors
All 66 of the Cavaliers points came from seniors. Guard Ryan McDonald, shooter Bubba Jaha, ball-handler Russell Gray, and wing Ryan Ahlstrom all started and played key roles along side Turner and Modjeski. Not only are the Cavaliers old, they also have experience winning. Most of their contributers have won state titles. Modjesk—the 6A offensive player of the year in football—and Turner won state on the gridiron in the fall and the Cavs baseball team won state in the spring.
The Central Catholic graybeard
The Rams are young and talented, with one big exception: senior Isaac Amaral-Artharee, who is old and talented. The guard has been the team's leader all year and his efforts as a scorer and vocal leader nearly willed the Rams to victory. In the first quarter, he hit a three-pointer and then on the following possession, caught the ball in the corner, looked down at the space between his defender and him, and knocked down another. He finished with 25 points, including 8 of 10 shooting from the free throw line in the fourth quarter.

While receiving good advice as a writer is helpful, there is plenty of advice out there and it may not always suit the needs of every writer. Before giving advice, I often consider: am I qualified to give advice on this topic?
I have reasons to feel qualified and unqualified to provide writer's advice. The reasons why not are that as most of you noticed I am not a rich and famous author although I would like to be both for having produced works that I am proud of and feel good about having produced while abiding by my personal values.
The reasons that I do feel qualified are that I took some classes, did well in them, wrote as an amateur, won a couple of low level but real awards for writing, got published in professional publications…and during the decade after that I wrote a wider variety of things and managed to get paid, often not much, for having written them. Most of the money I earned so far has been from contract writing without a byline.
I do wonder whether writing professional has improved or dragged down the level of my writing or a bit of both – degenerating the more literary form of writing but improving the quality of writing in plain language.
Whether one does it for fun or for pay, writing is rather des rigour in our world.

Install Certificate for LiveNX Web UI
We generate and install self-signed certificates the first time LiveNX is run. Secure Web Login to LiveNX is enabled by default in LiveNX 5.3.0. This document will guide you on how to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for the LiveNX Web UI Client.
Certificate Signing Request (also CSR or certification request) is a message sent from an applicant to a Certificate Authority in order to apply for a digital identity certificate. It usually contains the public key for which the certificate should be issued, identifying information (such as a domain name) and integrity protection (e.g., a digital signature).
A certificate authority will use a CSR to create your SSL certificate, but it does not need your private key. You need to keep your private key secret. The certificate created with a particular CSR will only work with the private key that was generated with it. So if you lose the private key, the certificate will no longer work.

nice location for a cafe
Posted Aug 07, 2009 10:08 PM by genesismiller
May the rest of the public and I use your bus stop too? You seem to be building a bus stop for yourself when you refer to it as 'my bus stop'.
Posted Aug 17, 2009 10:08 PM by detsea
I meant "my bus stop" as my concept for a bus stop. As you know these bus stops are for public use. Why would there be a cafe and seating for multiple people if it were just for me. So yes you may use the space if you please.
Posted Aug 18, 2009 8:08 PM by amiller305
More cave dwelling. Ok! No kidding It would work.
Posted Aug 28, 2009 1:08 PM by DLamb
My bus stop concept is to be as sustainable as possible:
bamboo/recycled seating
recycling area
green roof
mix use site
It is pedestrian/area friendly because it not only invites people to come to the stop but also passer by's to stop at the cafe.

Meet Phil Vickers
Pastor Phil Vickers was born and raised in the Mississippi Delta. This is obvious not just because of his accent, but because stories from that time in his life often make it into his sermons. He attended Mississippi State University where he earned a degree in English. He is an avid reader, and literature is a lifelong passion for him. During his time in college he also met his future wife Cheryl. The couple were married their senior years and moved to Columbia, South Carolina, where Pastor Phil attended Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary.
Phil interned at Augsburg Lutheran Church in Winston Salem, North Carolina, where he received wonderful tutelage and mentorship from Pastor Ronald Rinn. Phil's first daughter, Autumn, was born the day he was supposed to be at seminary graduation.
The couple then moved to the Texas panhandle where Phil was pastor for a short time to a small cattle and farming community. Most of Pastor Phil's ministry so far was spent in Hutchinson, Kansas, where he was the pastor of family life ministries at Emanuel Lutheran Church. In their seven years in Hutchinson, the Vickers family added Zoe and Sean. Pastor Phil has been serving First Lutheran Church since October of 2015.
Pastor Phil's passions within the ministry include preaching, teaching, forming and strengthening relationships, and working with small groups. Outside of the Church Pastor Phil enjoys the martial arts, reading, spending time with his wife and family, cooking, doing everything he can to keep his 1985 BMW 735i running, and traveling when possible.
Meet Dudley Hogue

WOODBURY, October 25, 2016 — You're finally ready to take the next big step — proposing to the one you love. You shop around and find the perfect engagement ring. Everything is wonderful…and then you realize this will be the biggest purchase of your life to date. Since you don't own a home and carry homeowners' insurance, is there a way to protect your investment without having to purchase costly insurance for one item?
"Until recently, the answer was no," explains David Sterling, president of SterlingRisk, one of the nation's top 40 independently owned insurance brokerages. "Most insurance plans were not structured to offer affordable coverage for a single piece of jewelry, such as an engagement ring or expensive watch. Young people typically did without the insurance and hoped for the best. But that's changed now, thanks to GemSafe."
Sterling, whose company developed GemSafe, points to the fact that millennials — people who are in young adulthood — have now surpassed baby-boomers in the population and have different needs than their parents' generation.
"Many young people live a more urban lifestyle and don't carry homeowners' insurance," he explains. "That's where GemSafe comes in. It provides affordable, comprehensive jewelry coverage while offering the peace of mind associated with homeowners' insurance. You contain costs by purchasing only the coverage you need for your valuable piece of jewelry."
GemSafe is available in all 50 states and automatically covers valuables wherever you take them, anywhere in the world. It also allows policyholders to repair or replace their lost or damaged jewelry through their own jeweler, who they know and trust.
"GemSafe has some of the broadest coverage in the industry," Sterling adds. "If values change after you insure with GemSafe, you're protected up to 25 percent more than is stated in your policy."
GemSafe is even an option for someone who already carries homeowners' insurance. "Once your jewelry is covered by GemSafe you can remove it from your homeowner's policy," explains Sterling. "That means you no longer have to worry about higher premiums, non-renewals, or even cancellation if your jewelry is lost or stolen. In every respect, GemSafe is there for you. It's a policy that gives you the choices and flexibility to suit your lifestyle."
GemSafe insurance policies are administered by SterlingRisk Insurance. Founded in 1932, SterlingRisk is headquartered in Woodbury, New York, with offices in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Utah and California. SterlingRisk services regional, national and international clients and specializes in multiple areas, including property and casualty insurance, aviation, employee benefits consulting, risk management, loss control, claims management, estate planning, and business succession planning.

Scaling Bitcoin on chain
One of the most talked about topics in 2016 when it comes to Bitcoin is the lack of a good plan for growing and scaling the system into the future.
I find this curious, as anyone that starts to depend on any system should do at least some investigation on what kind of growth it can handle and whether it can actually do what we want it to, this year and 5 years or longer into the future.
In this post I want to investigate what kind of scaling we can expect Bitcoin to have and what we need to do to get more scaling out of the system if these expectations prove not to be enough.
The number one reason that Bitcoin has value right now is its promise that Bitcoin will be used and seen as useful by millions of people in the not-so-far future. Any money only has value when enough people assign it value. Any money only has value when it can actually be used. If nobody accepts it for payments, the value will not be realized.
So the number one goal is to allow millions of people to be able to use Bitcoin in their day-to-day lives, where 'use' is defined as making at least one transaction a day. As with any technology, we don't expect this load to be available tomorrow or even this year, as growth happens over time and systems get built over time.
So let's have a goal of 50 million users sending one transaction a day using the Bitcoin network. Not today but 5 years into the future.
A further goal for home-users is that the rate at which they can process
Bitcoin blocks should be at least five times the speed at which they get
created. This means that if a system has no internet for an hour it would
take around 20 minutes at full speed to catch up (process the backlog
and process all new transactions generated while processing the backlog).
Faster is better, but slower than 5 times the creation speed is too slow.
Or, what is the current theoretical level of support?
Bitcoin, in the form of various node-software implementations, has had several years to mature. The leadership was not really focused on large growth of this basic layer, as we can see from the uptick in progress that started happening after Bitcoin Classic and Bitcoin Unlimited started competing with them. As usual, competition is good for the end-user and we see some promise of future gains appear.
But let's take a look at what kind of transaction load we could support today.
Last week forum.bitcoin.com published a video about time it takes to download, fully validate and check 7 years, or 420000 blocks of Bitcoin history (from day one of Bitcoin). This is 75GB of data which took 6 hours and 50 minutes to fully validate on mid-range hardware. It wasn't cheap hardware, but it was certainly not top-of-the-line or server hardware. In other words, it is a good baseline.
Taking a closer look at what was done in 6hours 50min:
- since block 295000 till block 420000 (125000 blocks) each and every transaction signature has been validated.
- 75GB was downloaded from Bitcoin peers around the world.
- A UTXO database of 11 million transactions with 40 million not yet spent Bitcoin addresses was built. (see the RPC call gettxoutsetinfo).
- The 125000 blocks contained 104847758 transactions which were all validated. That's 105 Million txs.
We understand that this was all done with no tweaks to the settings. This was a Classic 1.1.0 node (with performance equivalent to Bitcoin Core 0.12.1)
What needs work?
Let's take a look and compare our baseline to our goal. Most people would like software to always get faster and better, but priorities matter and we should look at which parts need attention first.
Our goal was that individual nodes need to be able to process about 50 million transactions in 24 hours.
We noticed that in the baseline check of 6h50m, our node actually downloaded, stored, and checked almost 105 million transactions. This leads to a daily rate of 368 million transactions being downloaded and validated.
$$ TX_{day} = {{104847758 tx \over { 6 * 60 + 50 minutes}} * 24 * 60 minutes} = 368 million$$
This means that our 5-years-in-the-future goal of 50 million transactions per day is already not an issue for bandwidth and for CPU power today. In fact, our baseline system managed to exceed our goal by a factor of 7.
Our baseline system could handle 7 times our 5 years in the future goal volume today!
Today, an individual Bitcoin node can download, store and validate 368 million transactions a day. That's many times the volume that has ever been sent using Bitcoin.
How do I see the system scale?
A typical home-node
A node that validates all blocks fully is needed in order to keep everyone honest. It also gives me the peace of mind that if I trust my node, I don't have to trust anyone else. So I foresee that you will get small communities gathering around full nodes. You can let your family use it, or maybe your football club or church will set one up just to support the community. Individuals will then make their phone-wallets have at least one host they trust, which is the one from your community.
This preserves Bitcoins greatest assets, you don't have to trust banks or governments. People trusting their local church or football club is much more normal and common to do.
Such a node would have no need to keep the full history from block zero. It would turn on pruning. With today's price of hardware this does not mean it would stop being able to serve historic blocks, because it could easily hold a month of blocks history. This does, however, mean we need to make the software a bit smarter. See some [[pruning|scaling/Pruning]] ideas.
Hard drive space is cheap today. A 3TB harddrive stores 75 years of Bitcoin history at current block size. But what if we start getting to our goal. What kind of hard drive do we need?
The answer to that is that we don't need anything large at all. The idea that we need to have a larger hard drive because blocks are bigger is a misunderstanding. We should work on some [[pruning|scaling/Pruning]] ideas in order to scale the system without everyone having to invest in storage space.
The last of the big components for our hone node is Internet connectivity. To reach our goal we need to be able to download 50 million transactions at about 300 bytes each over a 24 hours period.
$$ {50 000 000 * 300 \over {24 * 60 * 60}} = 173611 bytes/sec $$ $$ {173611 * 8} = 1.39 Mbit/sec $$
Ideally we go 5 times as fast to make sure that the node can 'catch up' if it were offline for some time. We may want to add some overhead for other parts as well. But 1.39Mbit minimum is available practically everywhere today. 2Gb which is 1440 times faster than what we need to reach our plan in 5 years is available in countries like Japan today.
Home nodes have absolutely nothing to fear from even a huge growth of Bitcoin to about 50 million daily users. Their hardware and internet will cover them with no pains, especially in about 5 years when more software optimizations may have been created.
Notice that there is no dependency on principles like Moore's law here, no hardware growth is needed to reach our goal.
A typical user
A typical user is suggested to use a phone or hardware wallet. The actual requirements are really low to be able to make payments safely, and fast if you use SPV clients.
Current wallets are in need of some work, though. They are typically quite greedy in using network to update the state of the wallet. While useful, this is not wanted in many situations: when I'm abroad on an expensive data-plan, for instance.
There is no need to do any communication with the network before creating a transaction that pays a merchant. Only the actual payment itself needs to be transferred to the Bitcoin network.
A typical user uses a phone. On the topic of scaling there is little to nothing they must do in order to continue working with on-chain scaling.
Usability and related topics in thin clients do need substantial amounts of work though.
A typical mining node
Miners need a full node. Where 'full' means that it validates all transactions. In addition to what a home-node needs, a miner also needs a fast connection between miners and to have a fast way to broadcast his blocks to other miners.
Just like with a typical home-node the amount of bandwidth and harddrive and CPU speed are already today mostly sufficient for being part of the network.
Additionally, a miner uses their node to create block templates. Which means they takes a section of the pool of unconfirmed transactions and creates a block based on that. This process has seen some optimizations already, but more could be made. For instance the getblocktemplate RPC call checks the block it just created for validity before it returns it. This check takes quite a lot of time and a simple solution would be to decouple the returning of the block and the validation so the miner can start mining optimistically over the check passing (it should pass in 100% of the cases anyway).
The bigger the blocks get, the more data is returned, and the system currently uses JSON which is almost the worst type of data-container for large binary data-blobs. A simple replacement of the RPC interface with something that just changes the communication format to be binary is relatively easy to do (a month project, probably) and likely needed for miners to not end up waiting too long on interface delays.
In our baseline node we explained that it took 7 hours to fully sync a brand new node from zero. This will stop being the case when we scale up to much bigger sizes. It will start taking a substantial amount of time to do the initial sync. Yet, a miner requires a fully synced node. Bitcoin Classic already has one big change there that will push down the validation time substantially. It introduced dynamic checkpoints which allow the node to skip validation of transaction data by assuming that about a week's worth of blocks will not be built on top of double-spend data. This would remove the validation of 100s of millions of transactions for a starting node.
Another suggestion for future Bitcoin clients meant for miners is that a new node can be pointed to a known and trusted node. The new node would then receive the UTXO and all other details it needs to be up and running quickly from this trusted node. Which means that after downloading only a couple of gigabytes you can have your new node up in 10 minutes.
The most important improvements for mining are various ways to ensure fast download and upload of the actual new blocks.
First there is xthin, which is a way to make a 1MB block only cost 25KB to send to all miners. This scaling is linear in that a 10MB block will likely be around 250KB to send.
Next to that is a technique I called "optimistic mining", which helps miners by splitting the uploading of blocks into two parts. One is a super fast notification of the new block. Just the block-header. A miner receiving such a header validates it has valid proof of work and then can start mining empty blocks on top. When the full block has arrived and all transactions are seen. All transactions in the mempool are updated to account for the new block, and last, a new block template is created with as many transactions as fit, only then does the miner start mining it.
Many of these techniques are already in development or planned to be developed in the next year or so. In order to reach our 50 million users per day in 5 years most of these will be more than enough to make a miner able to keep connected to the Bitcoin network without having to invest in a high-end server for the Bitcoin node.
The goal I tried to argue from is 50 million users per day. This goal is a huge increase from today. But to make sure we do it properly, my goal is set 5 years in the future.
Scaling Bitcoin nodes is ultimately boring work with very little effort needed because it turns out that a modern simple system can already scale easily to 10000 times higher than the current maximum allowed size.
Scaling the entire system takes a little more work, but mostly because miners have not received a lot of new features that they would need in order to make scaling safe for them. Most of those features could be added in a matter of months, with technologies like xthin blocks and optimistic mining already well underway.
The conclusion that I have to draw is that the goal of 50M/day is not just reachable, the timeline of 5 years is likely one that we will beat quite easily.
Smart tricks like Lightning network are not mentioned at all in this document because there is no need for them. Bitcoin can scale on-chain quite easily with almost no risk. Ideas like Lightning are quite high risk because there are so many unknowns.
By far the biggest problem with regards to scaling today is the protocol limit of 1MB block size. This should be removed as soon as possible.

Electrical machines in electrified heavy-duty vehicles are subjected to dynamic temperature loadings during normal operation due to the different driving conditions. The Electrical Insulation System (EIS) in a stator winding is aged as an effect of these dynamic thermal loads. The thermal loads are usually high constant temperatures and thermal cycling. The high average constant thermal load is well-known in the electrical machine industry but little is known about the effect of temperature cycling. In this project, the ageing of the EIS in stator windings due to temperature cycling is examined.
In this project, computational simulations of different simplified models that represent the electrical insulation system are made to analyse the thermo-mechanical stresses that is induced due to thermal cycling. Furthermore, a test object was designed and simulated to replicate the stress levels obtained from the simulations. The test object is to ease the physical testing of electrical insulation system. Testing a complete stator takes time and has the disadvantage of having a high mass, therefore a test object is designed and a test method is provided. The results from the finite element analysis indicate that the mechanical stresses induced will affect the lifetime of the electrical insulation system.
A sensitivity study of several thermal cycling parameters was performed, the stator core length, the cycle rate and the temperature cycle amplitude. The results obtained indicate that the stator core length is too short to have a significant effect on the thermo-mechanical stresses induced. The results of the sensitivity study of the temperature cycle rate and the temperature cycle amplitude showed that these parameters increase the thermo-mechanical stresses induced.
The results from the simulations of the test object is similar to the results from the simulations of the stator windings, which means that the tests object is valid for testing. The test method that is most appropriate is the power cycling test method, because it replicates the actual application of stator windings. The thermally induced stresses exposing the slot insulation exceeds the yield strength of the material, therefore plastic deformation may occur only after one thermal cycle. The other components in the stator are exposed to stresses below the yield strength.
The thermally induced stresses exposing the slot insulation are high enough to low cycle fatigue the electrical insulation system, thus thermo-mechanical fatigue is an ageing factor of the electrical insulation system.

Information and Communication Technologies Authority of Turkey President, Tayfun Acarer stated that at least 10% growth is calculated in the sector for 2012; and 44 billion dollars of growth is also expected. Acarer, attending Vodafone's innovation base, Oksijen R&D's new center's opening ceremony, added that Vodafone Turkey started to work like an Internet provider; and now beyond that, it has one of the greatest R&D centers of Turkey. He also stated that Vodafone, which was long known as mobile operator only until 10 years ago, now has 308 R&D employees, all Turkish engineers and over 400 projects.
Acarer expressed that Oksijen R&D has a lot of great success; adding that Oksijen R&D is defined in Vodafone as a global innovation center and it produces global projects. He also added that the support and the results obtained are praiseworthy, while the center continues to increase activities. He expressed that R&D in Turkey accelerated seriously for the past 7-8 years, saying that if 87 per mille R&D support proceeds in Turkey, 2023 targets are easy to reach.
Acarer stated that R&D is the triggering power of the informatics sector; expressing that it is the locomotive of the other sectors in Turkey. He added that the easiest way to reach 2023 vision of Turkey is to increase the services of high added value; in that as long as the price declines spent on exported products, the targets will be much accessible.
Acarer reminded Turkey's target of being in the list of top 10 economies of the world by 2023; saying that informatics sector, R&D and software are to be propulsive force in reaching the targets. He also stated that the R&D fund that will be put in effect during the beginning of 2013 in Turkey will bring great benefit for Turkey on condition that a serious amount is transferred in this fund.
Mobile coverage is to be everywhere people live
Acarer added that a similar growth rate as 2012 is expected in 2013, as well; which increased to 44 billion dollars from 40 billion dollars in 2011.
He also stated that the political authority of Turkey is going to decide on 4G. There is going to be a tender held on January, 17th; and if the tender is completed, 2 thousand 128 places in Turkey where mobile coverage is not present will be included in the coverage, he expressed.

We've got a six year old!
We started with birthday pancakes. See what I mean? ALL smiles.
And then I sent the birthday boy off to school with his requested birthday treat to share: snickerdoodle cookies. 12:06 pick up couldn't come soon enough for me, and when it finally did Noah bounced out of room 4 with his birthday crown.
After his requested homemade lunch of ham and cheese sandwiches he had a visitor. Sister Millett, one of his primary teachers, stopped by with a birthday balloon and present. Talk about making a little boy feel special.
Just a little while later we picked up a handful of friends and spent the afternoon running wild at Wacky Tacky. Noah is one lucky boy to have such sweet, fun, awesome buddies.
Noah chose Firehouse Subs for dinner, and loved flashing his "I am six" fingers.
Our final stop was at Sister Fisher's house. She's Noah's other primary teacher and had been trying to catch up with us all day. She too had a thoughtful bag of birthday treasures for Noah. How lucky is this kid?
The next evening we gathered the family together for cake and presents. We laughed that those two brothers on the ends were in plaid, all the little boys were in stripes and the girls were wearing polka dots. So well coordinated!
Noah LOVED this cake.
It turned out larger (and heavier!) than I planned, but was fun to make, especially for this sweet boy.
After cake came presents, and the big smile just continued.
Legos, Lego books, a bow and arrow, night vision goggles...the list goes on. Noah was one happy boy to receive so many gifts that were just perfect for him.
I also made a few batches of sugar cookies for our guests to frost and decorate. I love sugar cookies for any holiday, but especially Christmas.

Good landlords, good service and good humour
We are a group of landlords and private business owners. We team together to promote the benefits of living in private accommodation whilst studying at Aberystwyth University. Experience has shown us the benefits of living independently whilst at university and making the most of opportunities available in the town and the local area.
We pride ourselves on the quality and good value of the accommodation and services we offer for students. It is important to us that students enjoy their time in Aber and we know that housing, part-time jobs and good places to go out all play their part in making Aberystwyth a first choice for studying.

The program sChat 1.0 is one that i have created
What it originally was done with was to send messages
on one PC also it could del the old convo's and user who joined
The was also another package that came with it
Known as sChat Reader this was the inbox for all the output messages
that were sent.
So think of it as a input and output
Step 3: The IP
So i had trouble with ip Status but thanks to Prof.Pickle
I think i got it down!
The iP allows you to send messages to another computer
The program tells you how to find your ip!

Phosphonic acid derivatives are used for surface modification on oxidized metals such as Al2O31), TiO22), ZrO23), SiO24), Mica5), stainless(SS316L) 6), nitinol7), hydroxyapatite8), AgO9), ZnO10), ITO11,12).
For a long time, organosilanes have been used to form self assembled monolayer (SAM) on the metal oxide. However, it is not always adaptable in the applications due to the poor stability and polymerization of the reagent with each other. On the other hand, phosphonic acid derivatives equally form a SAM on the metal oxide despite being very stable compounds. Also, phosphonic acid derivatives have been reported to use formation of more stable and dense SAM than organosilanes. Klauk et. al. and Sekitani et. al. show alkyl phosphonate SAM on Al2O3 is more useful than the trichlorosilane derivatives SAM as an conductor film of an organic transistor13).
Sharma et. al. have reported the work function of ITO substrate increases by the oxygen plasma treatment or modifying ITO substrate with phosphonic acid (FOPA) containing perfluoroalkyl group. However, the increased level of work function maintains with FOPA modified substrate for 246 hours, while the work function immediately decreases with the substrate treated by oxygen plasma11). In addition, the organic thin-film solar cell fabricated using the modified TO with FOPA increase the stability of light intensity, the driving voltage, and life time.

Nightrise, R.A. Spyder's first book, is a fantasy fiction
novel about twin orphans Amy and Matt Nightrise and
their journey to discover the truth about their parents,
and through them, learn the truth about themselves.
Written as a serial novel, it comes in three parts,
as seen on the following pages.
Here is an excerpt from Nightrise: The Ascension of Darkness (the Beginning of the Elementals Saga)-
A man in a cloak as dark as the night around him stood in the entrance to the labyrinth. A cold chill of excitement raced along his spine. He was intoxicated by adrenaline. This was it. This simple doorway stood for everything for which he had longed. Long, thin, pale fingers splayed like a skeletal spider over the door frame, stroking it lovingly. Everyone who had hurt him, everyone who had brought him down would suffer, and his master would return. The only thing standing in their way was the Nightrise boy. Not for long though…

Vibe and Stan Lee's Pow to Create Urban Superhero
Posted on July 3, 2005Vibe Magazine and Stan Lee's POW! Entertainment have announce an exclusive partnership to create an urban superhero. The urban character will be marketed as an action hero and will grace the pages of Vibe, as well as having its own graphic novel. Creators will take the animated character to DVD, television, and to feature film.
"I'm as excited as a kid with a new toy to be able to create a unique, exciting, urban superhero for a magazine that I respect as much as Vibe," said Stan Lee. "No one understands or talks to the urban market better than Vibe, and this is a golden opportunity for me to introduce a new, colorful superhero that the urban community can embrace as its own without resorting to typical ghetto cliches or stereotyping. Following the formula I know best, our first stop will be the pages of Vibe magazine, while our ultimate destination will be movies, TV, and DVDs. I can't wait to get started."

Easy science fair projects for kids – Science fairs are great to develop creativity in the kids and promote their intelligence. In order to introduce your kids with the basics of science, these fairs play a necessary role. If your kid gets a chance for getting introduced with science fairs, you should not let it go. Kids love to do creative and interesting things. Science projects are enough to fulfill their desires. It is also a good way to showcase and groom their talents. There are lots of easy science fair project ideas for kids. We have put together some best ideas which your kid will surely love.
Water Filter in a Bottle
It is good to teach your kids about the value of water and its cleanliness. This experiment can be done with the help of a plastic bottle. Cut the bottles bottom part carefully with the help of a cutter. Put any kind of filtering object on the neck of the bottle. Now, fill the bottle with different materials like Charcoal, sand, gravel, etc. The water is not preferred for drinking but its actually a cool and fun experiment for your kids. Nature works in the same way to filter the water which comes from our wastes. The experiment is good to understand nature's natural filtration system.
The Spinning Ball Project
Gravity is the most curious topic for the kids. There is a different type of projects that could be made based upon gravity. One of the best projects to understand the concept of gravity is spinning ball projects. To do this, place a plastic ball on the top of the table, then put a glass jar over it. Spin the jar in a circular motion. See how the ball moves in the upward and downward directions. This ball keeps moving inside the jar until it has slowed down. The project could be done in our homes, schools and fair easily.
This project explains the theory of gravity on a smaller scale. The gravitational force which is pulling this ball towards the side of the walls is stronger than the one which is pulling it downwards.
The Rising Coin Experiment
This experiment is great to introduce your children with the bending of light and its effects of daily routines. This experiment is great for science fair projects because it is easy to do with very less equipment. You just have to stick a coin on the bottom of a metal or plastic bowl. Now, fill the bowl with little water. Go away from the bowl until the coin is disappeared. Start pouring water in the bowl and you will see the coin will appear from the same location. This experiment can be done with the help of only one or two persons.
This happens because when the bowl is filled with the water it bends the light due to its transparent and high refractive index properties. But when the bowl is empty, it is filled with the air which barely causes the light to bend.
The Bouncing Egg Project
This project is good to understand some things about absorption. In this project, you have to cook a raw egg until it is perfectly boiled. Once it is boiled properly, take it out of the water and let it cool down. Now, Place this egg in a jar and fill it fully with the vinegar. Close the lid tightly and let the egg stay in it more about one week. After this time, take the egg out of the jar and dry it. It is ready to gently bouncing on the floor.
This happens because the vinegar is an acid which dissolves the eggshell. The eggshell membrane is not dissolved with the vinegar. So it works as a protection to the egg and allows it to bounce when we strike it gently on the table or floor.
Three Layers of Experiment
To help your kids understanding the different material densities and their mixing capabilities, you can easily do it with this simple project. In this experiment, you will need a glass jar along with three different materials oil, honey, and water. To do this experiment, you have to fill the jar carefully with these materials in a uniform manner.
- Fill the jar 1/3rd full with the honey
- Now pour oil in the jar into its 2/3rd full
- Now fill the remaining portion of the jar with the water.
You will be able to see these three different materials in their still positions without mixing with each other. It looks great when these materials remain separate.
This happens because of the different material densities. The density of honey is more than the oil which stops them to mix together. Water is less dense than oil. That is why it is not mixed with the oil and stay in the jar above the oil like its empty.
Rising Tissue Experiment
This project is good to understand the concept of electricity and static energy. In this project, you have to rub a plastic comb on the woolen sweater. Now take small pieces of paper or tissues by cutting them with the help of a scissor. In this project, you will see when you take you rubbed comb near to these tissues, it attracts the tissues. These tissues or paper pieces attach to the comb. This is a simple and easy project to perform in the science fairs. You kids will easily do with their own.
When we rub the comb against the woollen sweater it creates negative charges around it. The tissues work as positive charges and start attracting each other.
We hope you will find these project worthy for your kids in science fairs. They are very easy to do. You can research a lot more about them on the internet or in the school laboratories. Just make sure to do everything carefully and try to understand the purpose of these experiments.

Playing Golf Without a (Swing) Thought
HSip replied to iacas's topic in Swing ThoughtsOne consistent swing thought seems to work best for me. Not trying to "correct" what I did on the last swing
Totally lost my swing..
HSip replied to flyfish13's topic in Instruction and Playing TipsDo this and do not try to progress too fast. If you had "it" before you'll get "it" again. Good luck
That dude should clear his throat before he starts spewing all that BS
What would you do?What he said. PLUS you said you putting well with your YES putter, you know if you change after saying that the Golf gods are going to mess with you. Buy the wife the irons (make a point of saying that you wanted a Scotty but helping her enjoy the game more was WAY more important.) P.S. - you'll get the Scotty somewhere down the road as a gift!
One of the testimonials during the infomercial says something to the effect "he hit that ball so far that all I know is that it didn't land on any flat green surface on the course"? WTF kind of positive is that!!! It will really change your score ----- for the worse.
playing 1 club golf
HSip replied to clearwaterms's topic in Golf TalkNot with just one club but I will, on occasion, play a round with 3 clubs. For example - 5I, 9I & putter or 3w, 7I & putter (real challenging one is Driver, SW, putter), etc. Really makes for some interesting shots and surprisingly steady scores.
Playing alone...is it bad?
HSip replied to superotto80's topic in Golf TalkCouple of weeks ago I was playing as a single and I noticed a couple playing ahead of me. The lady was hanging back and watching my shots at the par 3's. Eventually she told me that she had hit a hole in one a few years previous but without a witness and she vowed not to let that happen to someone else if she could help it. Unfortunately I didn't need a witness
You're absolutely right and this is one small way to make a round go a bit faster. If someone putts it close and wants to tap it in that is fine with me. Marking a short putt then waiting for someone else to putt, replacing their ball and then tapping it in (especially if it's a foursome doing it) adds appreciably to the time of the round.
You said it all when you said he wasn't fun to be around. For me, I either want to like my playing partners or not be bothered by my playing partners. When I've gotten paired up with someone who is really volatile - I try my best to ignore them and when the round is finished I do my best to never get paired with them again. Life's too short and golf is too great a game for that. Cheers
Driving range woes
HSip replied to kris's topic in Instruction and Playing TipsYou don't mention if your range is grass or mats. I get some pretty squirrely irons off mats (trying to hit down, etc, etc). If that's not it - are you picking a target when practicing on the range? One thing for sure, you are absolutely right that good on course/ bad on range is MUCH better than the opposite. Cheers
Driving the green
HSip replied to bunkerputt's topic in Instruction and Playing TipsFor shorter hitters it is almost never (never say never) a sound strategy. If it would take your absolute Sunday best, 1 out of 100, then the reward is not worth the risk. I do agree w/ Erik that being close is most golfers best chance to take advantage of that shorter par 4. But contrary to a lot of the mid to hi HCP's (on this forum) I might average 230 so being close is relative. Cheers
The Feeling of Proper Foot Alignment
HSip replied to iacas's topic in Instruction and Playing TipsI think we're talking about the same thing. My point is that many people "feel" that they must line up their toes to the target. Using an intermediate target to line up the club face is what most good golfers do.
Wheels falling off!!
HSip replied to sdped1's topic in Instruction and Playing TipsCall your instructor - he's lonely. Besides the BEST players in the world use swing coaches. Good luck

Ferriss' most recent project, Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers, is a byproduct of his top-rated podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. On the show, Ferriss interviews top performers from all walks of life, to include billionaire investors and entrepreneurs, A-List celebrities, military leaders, top athletes and coaches, and even Youtubers and bloggers. Tools of Titans attempts to condense important take-home points from each 1-2 hour interview into a couple of pages of key insights and lessons. Ferriss then intersperses these chapters with a few chapters of original material to synthesize and reinforce key themes.
The massive, 673-page Tools of Titans is divided into three sections. These are based on the old Ben Franklin Mantra: "Healthy," "Wealthy," and "Wise." Since this is a personal finance website, we will focus on the "Wealthy" section of the book.
Table of Contents:
Short Stories and Big Themes
Despite the length of the book, Tools of Titans can be an easy read. Ferriss divided the book into very short chapters, each only a few pages long. Every chapter contains individual stories or lessons that can stand alone. This makes it easy to pick up the book — even if you only have a few minutes a day — and learn something from each individual feature or concept.
However, the true value of the book, in my mind, is in linking together common themes and patterns among people from very diverse walks of life. This information can then be applied to your own wealth-building process. I will share a couple of these themes that I found particularly interesting, as they relate to money and personal finance.
The Power of Wealth
Two of my favorite stories in the book show the power of money if used properly. Many people think of money as a means to retirement, or a new car, or a fancier house. These stories show that the power of building wealth can mean much more.
Entrepreneur and author Derek Sivers shared how he became successful by saying "yes" to nearly every opportunity that came his way. This allowed him to build financial and social capital. However, as he became successful, opportunities became more plentiful and he pivoted. Wealth allowed him to stop needing to say yes to everything. He changed his decision-making framework. Now, when presented with an opportunity, he makes a binary decision. He says, "Hell Yes!" to only the things that he is most excited about. Everything else is a no. This allows him to focus on the opportunities that add the most value to his life.
On this theme, Arnold Schwarzenegger — known around the world as an A-list action movie star — shared his little-known career path. He was actually a millionaire real estate investor before making it big in movies. He used this bit of financial freedom to wait for the starring roles he wanted, while saying no to bit roles or roles that would type-cast him. Most young actors struggling to survive do not have this luxury.
Then, after becoming a massive action movie star, he wanted to try his hand at comedy. When no one would take a chance on him, he again leveraged his wealth to do something very unusual. He was able to get the movie Twins made with Danny Devito, by agreeing to a very low salary. He essentially took the risk off of the studios and put it on himself. Twins turned out being the most personally lucrative movie of his career, due to the back-loaded structure of the deal. Again, the freedom allowed by his earlier financial success allowed him to have even bigger future successes.
Best Investments
Most people tend to talk about investments in terms of stocks, bonds, or real estate. Well, Ferriss has interviewed two of the "sharks" from ABC's "Shark Tank," Daymond John and Chris Sacca. He asked each what they would consider to be their best investment. Their answers may surprise you.
John answered that his best investment was investing his time to be a foot messenger in Manhattan while in high school. It exposed him at a young age to "all different types of people," from "miserable high-profile executives" to "extremely happy entry-level employees." He says it "completely opened up my eyes to opportunity."
Sacca shared that his best investment was buying a cabin in the mountains in Truckee, CA, and moving away from Silicon Valley prior to becoming a successful tech investor. This allowed him to avoid constantly playing defense while having his day eaten up by unwanted meetings. Instead, he decided to play offense. In his words, "Everyone loves coming to the mountains. Over the years, that's helped me build lasting friendships. Some of those have been the catalysts for my investments in Uber, Twitter, and others."
Think Differently
After reading this book, the most overriding theme that I noted can be summed up in one quote from performance coach, author, and speaker Tony Robbins. He said, "The quality of your life is the quality of your questions."
Each of the people profiled think differently than the masses, in their own unique way. They ask unique questions of themselves, their jobs, and the systems they encounter. The book also contains many thought-provoking questions and ideas that challenged me. A few stood out.
Billionaire entrepreneur, investor, and author Peter Thiel suggests the following: "So if you're planning to do something with your life, if you have a 10-year plan of how to get there, you should ask: Why can't you do this in 6 months?" Author Seth Godin asks on a similar theme, "If a narrative isn't working, well then, really, why are you using it? The narrative is something that you choose." Over and over, this book pushed me to challenge my assumptions.
Hedge fund manager, entrepreneur, and best-selling author James Altucher was also profiled. He has started over 20 companies and written 17 books. Most of us struggle to come up with our one "big idea," so it's amazing how he manages to do it over and over. He shares with readers his habit of writing 10 ideas on paper every day, to build his "creativity muscle." So, what does he do on days when he simply can't come up with 10 ideas? Tim forces himself to write 20 ideas, even if they are all terrible. He shares that this helps overcome fear of or embarrassment about bad ideas, which stop most people from ever getting started.
Ordinary People, Extraordinary Results
The beauty of Ferriss' podcast, captured in Tools of Titans, is that no matter how successful people are, he shows they are just people. Ferriss manages to get these "titans" to be vulnerable and share their secrets to success. Just as importantly, they also share their failures and vulnerability. This is a theme throughout the book.
Serial billionaire Marc Andreessen emphasizes not putting people on pedestals with the quote, "Get inside the head of the people who made things in the past and what they were actually like, and then realize that they're not that different from you. At the time they got started, they were kind of just like you…so there's nothing stopping any of the rest of us from doing the same thing."
Can "Tools of Titans" Make You Wealthy?
Tools of Titans contains interesting and unique insights, as well as practical tools that can be immediately applied to your own wealth-building process. Ferriss does a great job curating all of this material and interspersing his own unique content. For those who are willing to apply the lessons contained in the book, it may be the best investment you will make.

Paul McCartney looked back at his first live album, the 1976 chart-topping Wings Over America triple-album set, which has just been reissued in a limited edition vinyl, among other formats.
During a Q&A on his official PaulMcCartney.com site, he recalled his 1975/1976 tour in which he finally acknowledged in his setlists that he'd been in a band prior to Wings, recalling, "This was the first time we started playing the Beatles songs again. So, I think, from the tours before it had been mostly Wings songs. Wings had been becoming Wings. And then on this tour, everything sort of exploded. Previously all of the efforts had been to establish Wings and to make something that wasn't like a Beatles tribute band. But once we had a few hits with Wings -- and Band On The Run was a really big hit album --- we had some of these hits in our repertoire, and it did feel like, 'Oh, it's okay, now we can do Beatles stuff!'"
McCartney's whose concert these days feature 23 Beatles songs in a 38-song set, remembers the dam bursting with Wings tackling a only a scant five songs by the "Fab Four" back in the day: "It was quite a relief in a way because I'm always sort of conscious of what the audience wants, because my audience isn't a narrow audience, it's quite a wide group of people. "
McCartney spoke about finally being confident in his new material to dip his toes in the past: "That was the beginning of allowing myself to do Beatles songs again because before that I thought I'd never get Wings together. I'd just fall back on the Beatles, and that would be very difficult for Wings to establish an identity. But once we got to '75-76, we had enough of an identity with the Wings stuff. So putting the two together was the winning formula. . . We'd done a lot of work getting our skills together, so now I had to do this all again with Wings. But by Wings Over America, we'd pretty much done that. We now knew what Wings were."
Although Wings was a massively successful band across the globe, they were especially big in America. Between 1971 and 1980 the band scored 13 Top 10 singles -- six of them chart-toppers; and eight Top 10 albums -- including five straight Number Ones, with the final chart-topper, 1976's Wings Over America, being a triple-record set. We asked Paul McCartney why Wings hit so big in the States: "We did bigger tours over there, I think, really. Simple as that. The records sold very well and the concerts we did over there, inevitably, had bigger venues, so we saw more people, we played to more people."
Bill King, publisher of Beatlefan magazine, saw the first two of his many McCartney concerts during Wings' two-night stand at Atlanta's Omni Coliseum on May 18th and 19th, 1976. King recalls that above the historical "event" of McCartney playing to North American crowds again -- he absolutely delivered a top-notch "worth-the-wait" live show: "The '76 tour was tremendously exciting. Seeing Paul McCartney in concert -- it was a great show. Y'know, it was well produced, an enjoyable setlist, great performances, good band. He basically succeeded on every level with the Wings Over America tour. '76, I mean that was the Wings show. He threw a few. . . a handful of Beatles songs in there just sort of a gesture, and was tipping his toe into it."AUDIO: BILL KING ON PAUL MCCARTNEY'S 'WINGS OVER AMERICA' TOUR
