In this paper we consider numerical algorithms for solving a system of nonlinear PDEs arising in modeling of liquid polymer injection. We investigate the particular case when a porous preform is located within the mould, so that the liquid polymer flows through a porous medium during the filling stage. The nonlinearity of the governing system of PDEs is due to the non-Newtonian behavior of the polymer, as well as due to the moving free boundary. The latter is related to the penetration front and a Stefan type problem is formulated to account for it. A finite-volume method is used to approximate the given differential problem. Results of numerical experiments are presented. We also solve an inverse problem and present algorithms for the determination of the absolute preform permeability coefficient in the case when the velocity of the penetration front is known from measurements. In both cases (direct and inverse problems) we emphasize on the specifics related to the non-Newtonian behavior of the polymer. For completeness, we discuss also the Newtonian case. Results of some experimental measurements are presented and discussed.
On convergence of certain finite difference discretizations for 1D poroelasticity interface problems (2004)
Finite difference discretizations of 1D poroelasticity equations with discontinuous coefficients are analyzed. A recently suggested FD discretization of poroelasticity equations with constant coefficients on staggered grid, [5], is used as a basis. A careful treatment of the interfaces leads to harmonic averaging of the discontinuous coefficients. Here, convergence for the pressure and for the displacement is proven in certain norms for the scheme with harmonic averaging (HA). Order of convergence 1.5 is proven for arbitrary located interface, and second order convergence is proven for the case when the interface coincides with a grid node. Furthermore, following the ideas from [3], modified HA discretization are suggested for particular cases. The velocity and the stress are approximated with second order on the interface in this case. It is shown that for wide class of problems, the modified discretization provides better accuracy. Second order convergence for modified scheme is proven for the case when the interface coincides with a displacement grid node. Numerical experiments are presented in order to illustrate our considerations.
In soil mechanics assumption of only vertical subsidence is often invoked and this leads to the one-dimensional model of poroelasticity. The classical model of linear poroelasticity is obtained by Biot [1], detailed derivation can be found e.g., in [2]. This model is applicable also to modelling certain processes in geomechanics, hydrogeology, petroleum engineering (see, e.g., [3, 8], in biomechanics (e.g., [9, 10]), in filtration (e.g., filter cake formation, see [15, 16, 17]), in paper manufacturing (e.g., [11, 12]), in printing (e.g., [13]), etc. Finite element and finite difference methods were applied by many authors for numerical solution of the Biot system of PDEs, see e.g. [3, 4, 5] and references therein. However, as it is wellknown, the standard FEM and FDM methods are subject to numerical instabilities at the first time steps. To avoid this, discretization on staggered grid was suggested in [4, 5]. A single layer deformable porous medium was considered there. This paper can be viewed as extension of [4, 5] to the case of multilayered deformable porous media. A finite volume discretization to the interface problem for the classical one-dimensional Biot model of consolidation process is applied here. Following assumptions are supposed to be valid: each of the porous layers is composed of incompressible solid matrix, it is homogeneous and isotropic. Furthermore, one of two following assumptions is valid: porous medium is not completely saturated and fluid is incompressible or porous medium is completely saturated and fluid is slightly compressible. The reminder of the paper is organised as follows. Next section presents the mathematical model. Third section is devoted to the dicsretization of the continuous problem. Fourth section contains the results from the numerical experiments.
In this paper, we discuss approaches related to the explicit modeling of human beings in software development processes. While in most older simulation models of software development processes, esp. those of the system dynamics type, humans are only represented as a labor pool, more recent models of the discrete-event simulation type require representations of individual humans. In that case, particularities regarding the person become more relevant. These individual effects are either considered as stochastic variations of productivity, or an explanation is sought based on individual characteristics, such as skills for instance. In this paper, we explore such possibilities by recurring to some basic results in psychology, sociology, and labor science. Various specific models for representing human effects in software process simulation are discussed.
On the Performance of Certain Iterative Solvers for Coupled Systems Arising in Discretization of Non-Newtonian Flow Equations (2004)
Iterative solution of large scale systems arising after discretization and linearization of the unsteady non-Newtonian Navier–Stokes equations is studied. cross WLF model is used to account for the non-Newtonian behavior of the fluid. Finite volume method is used to discretize the governing system of PDEs. Viscosity is treated explicitely (e.g., it is taken from the previous time step), while other terms are treated implicitly. Different preconditioners (block–diagonal, block–triangular, relaxed incomplete LU factorization, etc.) are used in conjunction with advanced iterative methods, namely, BiCGStab, CGS, GMRES. The action of the preconditioner in fact requires inverting different blocks. For this purpose, in addition to preconditioned BiCGStab, CGS, GMRES, we use also algebraic multigrid method (AMG). The performance of the iterative solvers is studied with respect to the number of unknowns, characteristic velocity in the basic flow, time step, deviation from Newtonian behavior, etc. Results from numerical experiments are presented and discussed.
Fluid structure interaction problems in deformable porous media: Toward permeability of deformable porous media (2004)
In this work the problem of fluid flow in deformable porous media is studied. First, the stationary fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem is formulated in terms of incompressible Newtonian fluid and a linearized elastic solid. The flow is assumed to be characterized by very low Reynolds number and is described by the Stokes equations. The strains in the solid are small allowing for the solid to be described by the Lame equations, but no restrictions are applied on the magnitude of the displacements leading to strongly coupled, nonlinear fluid-structure problem. The FSI problem is then solved numerically by an iterative procedure which solves sequentially fluid and solid subproblems. Each of the two subproblems is discretized by finite elements and the fluid-structure coupling is reduced to an interface boundary condition. Several numerical examples are presented and the results from the numerical computations are used to perform permeability computations for different geometries.
After a short introduction to the basic ideas of lattice Boltzmann methods and a brief description of a modern parallel computer, it is shown how lattice Boltzmann schemes are successfully applied for simulating fluid flow in microstructures and calculating material properties of porous media. It is explained how lattice Boltzmann schemes compute the gradient of the velocity field without numerical differentiation. This feature is then utilised for the simulation of pseudo-plastic fluids, and numerical results are presented for a simple benchmark problem as well as for the simulation of liquid composite moulding.
No doubt: Mathematics has become a technology in its own right, maybe even a key technology. Technology may be defined as the application of science to the problems of commerce and industry. And science? Science maybe defined as developing, testing and improving models for the prediction of system behavior; the language used to describe these models is mathematics and mathematics provides methods to evaluate these models. Here we are! Why has mathematics become a technology only recently? Since it got a tool, a tool to evaluate complex, "near to reality" models: Computer! The model may be quite old - Navier-Stokes equations describe flow behavior rather well, but to solve these equations for realistic geometry and higher Reynolds numbers with sufficient precision is even for powerful parallel computing a real challenge. Make the models as simple as possible, as complex as necessary - and then evaluate them with the help of efficient and reliable algorithms: These are genuine mathematical tasks.
A spectral theory for constituents of macroscopically homogeneous random microstructures modeled as homogeneous random closed sets is developed and provided with a sound mathematical basis, where the spectrum obtained by Fourier methods corresponds to the angular intensity distribution of x-rays scattered by this constituent. It is shown that the fast Fourier transform applied to three-dimensional images of microstructures obtained by micro-tomography is a powerful tool of image processing. The applicability of this technique is is demonstrated in the analysis of images of porous media.
We consider the contact of two elastic bodies with rough surfaces at the interface. The size of the micropeaks and valleys is very small compared with the macrosize of the bodies' domains. This makes the direct application of the FEM for the calculation of the contact problem prohibitively costly. A method is developed that allows deriving a macrocontact condition on the interface. The method involves the twoscale asymptotic homogenization procedure that takes into account the microgeometry of the interface layer and the stiffnesses of materials of both domains. The macrocontact condition can then be used in a FEM model for the contact problem on the macrolevel. The averaged contact stiffness obtained allows the replacement of the interface layer in the macromodel by the macrocontact condition.
IMRT planning on adaptive volume structures – a significant advance of computational complexity (2004)
In intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning the oncologist faces the challenging task of finding a treatment plan that he considers to be an ideal compromise of the inherently contradictive goals of delivering a sufficiently high dose to the target while widely sparing critical structures. The search for this a priori unknown compromise typically requires the computation of several plans, i.e. the solution of several optimization problems. This accumulates to a high computational expense due to the large scale of these problems - a consequence of the discrete problem formulation. This paper presents the adaptive clustering method as a new algorithmic concept to overcome these difficulties. The computations are performed on an individually adapted structure of voxel clusters rather than on the original voxels leading to a decisively reduced computational complexity as numerical examples on real clinical data demonstrate. In contrast to many other similar concepts, the typical trade-off between a reduction in computational complexity and a loss in exactness can be avoided: the adaptive clustering method produces the optimum of the original problem. This flexible method can be applied to both single- and multi-criteria optimization methods based on most of the convex evaluation functions used in practice

Great job! Ricotta bought in the store just doesn't cut it anymore, it just doesn't taste like the real thing! What to do with the whey? check out this website http://briciole.typepad.com/blog/2009/01/ricotta-fatta-in-casa.html you can make more ricotta with the whey and tons of hommemade soft cheeses. Yummy!ReplyDelete

That ricotta looks good! Makes me want to season the cheese with a little Italian seasoning and make a casserole of stuffed shells!ReplyDelete
I know the left over whey is very popular with boiling rice and pasta because of its nutrients. I also remember reading someone about a chicken marinade made with whey. If I can find it again I'll let you know.

To increase your yield you can use whole milk instead of 2%. Also, if you want to get more bang for your buck, there are other simple cheeses you can make first and then use the leftover whey to make true ricotta (meaning twice cooked). If you are interested in that, you should check out this link: http://biology.clc.uc.edu/Fankhauser/Cheese/cheese.htmlReplyDelete
Nice job! More people should try their hand at cheese making.
That is amazing! And it's kind of nice to know you can make your own ricotta if in a bind too. Cool!ReplyDelete
Make mozzarella first from the milk and then make ricotta from the whey left over. You get less ricotta, but by using the 2-step process you have efficiently wrung just about all the solids out of the milk. Italian families do this all the time. Try:ReplyDelete

You can use the leftover whey in smoothies or as the liquid for soups (it would be great in a potato soup). Leftover whey can also be used as a substitute for buttermilk, yogurt or sour milk in baking recipes such as muffins or quick breads. Whey to go!ReplyDelete

Yogurt cheese is really delicious too. Just set the yogurt in cheese cloth overnight and in the morning you have fresh cheese! It's really amazing if you use vanilla yogurt cheese on scones with jam.ReplyDelete

As Infinitable implied, this is not really ricotta cheese: It is the basis of mozzarella cheese which is made by heating the curds until they melt and then working them sort of like kneading dough.ReplyDelete
Remember that milk contains two proteins: casein and whey in an 80/20% ratio. Most cheeses consist mostly of casein protein. Ricotta cheese is traditionally made of whey protein.
So, if you use this method and then throw the whey out, you really have discarded the raw material for ricotta cheese. Actually, this recipe might be yielding a cheese product that is a combination of both proteins. Generally, to make mozzarella cheese, a bit of acid and rennet is used to coagulate the casein. And then the whey that's left can yield the ricotta.
Of course, none of what I said will diminish that this recipe yields some great tasting stuff, regardless of what it actually is or what protein it contains!
Making Ricotta is so easy!!! And the final product costs a fraction of what you'd pay at Whole Foods!!!! I usually make mine with buttermilk but I have decided to experiment with various souring agents (lemon juice, vinegar, etc...) I posted pictures from my experiment on my blog: http://cuceesprouts.com/2011/04/homemade-farmers-cheese/ReplyDelete

In the last few weeks I've been using the iPad as a tool for student reflection and assessment. To assess students' understanding of Native Americans, I posted 5 photos of different aspects of Native American life to the Burley iDisk. Students viewed all the images and then selected one they wanted to talk about.
Students copied one photo in iDisk and then opened a blank document in Pages. Students pasted their Native American photo and then shared what they knew about that aspect of Native American life.
Once students documented their understanding, they emailed the Pages document to me. I reviewed students' thinking, identified misconceptions and opportunities for reteaching and assessed overall understanding.
My students are becoming experts at using Pages. I've noticed that they have increased ability to create content for their peers and take their thinking public. This week each child published a piece of poetry using Pages and paired their text with an illustration using Whiteboard. I am excited to find additional opportunities for assessing student learning using the iPad!

Many of America's "poor" are rich by world standards.
This is a true story about an experience I have never forgotten.
When my husband and I were first married, we taught school in Bolivia for two years.
Bolivia is a landlocked country in South America. It's tropical, and it lies south of the equator. Some of the Amazon lowlands lie in eastern Bolivia, but on the western side of the country, some of the peaks of the Andes Mountains are nearly 4 miles in elevation (over 21,000 feet.)
We were in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, which is a major city in the lowlands (but not in the Amazon basin.)
In the early 1980's when we were there, the socio-economic structure was much as it had been since early colonial days--
- a small wealthy upper class, mostly of European ancestry
- a large, extremely poor, and mostly illiterate lower class, mostly of Indian ancestry
- almost no middle class at all.
Many beggars lived on the streets. Many of them were people who were mentally retarded, insane, or physically handicapped. They coped as best they could, with the help of family if they were lucky.
And now, the little story I want to tell ...
We bought our fruits, vegetables, and many necessities of life in the open air markets because grocery stores simply did not exist. I was at the Siete Calles market one afternoon, and I had bought some cloth in a group of booths under a roof.
Coming out of that building, I saw a very short Indian man coming toward me. He would perhaps have come up to my waistline. As he caught my eye, I thought, "My goodness, that man is a 'little person'!" (I thought he was a dwarf.)
Then I looked closer and saw that he was "walking" on his knees, and I thought, "Oh dear Lord, he has somehow had his legs cut off!"
All this time, I was walking toward the man as he hobbled along. And as I met him, I saw how he really was: his poor, withered legs from the knees down were dragging along in the dirt behind him as he walked on his knees.
When I hear the saying, "I felt bad because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet," I always think of that man in the market. To be so handicapped and to cope with it as he was doing is beyond my imagination.
I am so fortunate to have been born an American. Though I'm not rich by American standards, I'm wealthy by world standards. Many Americans do not comprehend what real poverty is.
Please be generous with your favorite world charity this Christmas. If you don't have a favorite charity, I suggest the Lutheran World Relief, an organization that uses 92.5¢ of every donated dollar to help people in need around the world.

Tutoring in the UK ranges from £15 all the way up to £80/hour (and even higher). The cost depends on a few factors i.e. the tutor's experience, their education, and the level of the subject being taught.
One-to-one tuition is one of the most effective forms of learning. In lessons, students can ask their tutor any questions they have without getting embarrassed, as they might at school. All lessons get tailored exactly to their needs, weak spots and favourite areas. Just a few lessons can lead to a boost in the student's confidence as well as their grades.
Tutoring gives kids the chance to learn at their own pace - whether that's a notch down from at school or a bit faster. The extra help and attention from one-to-one learning gives the student a confidence boost too. So if they're unsure of something in class, they're more likely to put their hand up to ask. By filling in learning gaps and making them more confident, students are given the chance to get their best possible grades when exams come around.

We had a tutor from Mytutor called Alejandro who was amazing for my daughter. He gave her such great advice and lots of confidence before her IB exam. I must say it was money well spent as he always messaged and she knew she could count on him for support and knowledge. I would definitely recommend him as a kind, helpful and very intelligent tutor. He definitely knew his sciences very well. Thanks Alejandro you are a star.

My son was falling behind in A level Biology before his end of year tests. I felt I needed to help him as he was getting stressed and anxious so I looked into tutoring. I saw an add for MyTutor and after a very friendly and helpful telephone conversation I booked a chat with a tutor. We were matched with a young man who was studying Biomedics at university and the initial conversation with my son, who was slightly reluctant, went so well that we began booking lessons. It was the best thing I could have done at short notice and with not having pots of money. The tutor was friendly, reliable and professional and quickly built a rapport with my son and helped him with everything he struggled with each week. I will be booking more lessons next year to make sure he stays on top of things. They are so easy to book as the website is excellent and the lessons worked very well online using an iPad. I am very pleased with the whole thing and glad that I gave it a try. I would recommend it to anyone.

- The laurels of victory are at the point of the enemy bayonets. They must be plucked there; they must be carried by a hand-to-hand fight if one really means to conquer.
- p. 105
- Against what should fire be opened? Against the obstacles which may delay the march of infantry.
The first obstacle is the enemy gun. It will be the first objective assigned to artillery masses.

- An army is to a chief what a sword is to a soldier. It is only worth anything in so far as it receives from him a certain impulsion (direction and vigour).
- p. 138
- When the moment arrives for taking decisions, facing responsibilities, entering upon sacrifices — decisions which ought to be taken before they are imposed, responsibilities which ought to be welcomed, for the initiative must be secured and the offensive launched — where should we find a man equal to these uncertain and dangerous tasks were it not among men of a superior stamp, men eager for responsibilities? He must indeed be a man who, being deeply imbued with a will to conquer, shall derive from that will (as well as from a clear perception of the only means that lead to victory) the strength to make an unwavering use of the most formidable rights, to approach with courage all difficulties and all sacrifices, to risk everything; even honour — for a beaten general is disgraced for ever.
- p. 140
- The distribution of troops devoted to the defence of a place includes a garrison, an occupying force, numerically as weak as possible; a reserve as strong as possible, designed for counterattacking and for providing itself, at the moment it goes into action, with a security service which will guard it from any possible surprise.
- p. 147
- To be disciplined does not mean being silent, abstaining, or doing only what one thinks one may undertake without risk; it is not the art of eluding responsibility; it means acting in compliance with orders received, and therefore finding in one's own mind, by effort and reflection, the possibility to carry out such orders. It also means finding in one's own will the energy to face the risks involved in execution.

- In a time such as ours when people believe they can do without an ideal, cast away what they call abstract ideas, live on realism, rationalism, positivism, reduce everything to knowledge or to the use of more or less ingenious and casual devices — let us acknowledge it here — in such a time there is only one means of avoiding error, crime, disaster, of determining the conduct to be followed on a given occasion — but a safe means it is, and a fruitful one; this is the exclusive devotion to two abstract notions in the field of ethics: duty and discipline; such a devotion, if it is to lead to happy results, further implies besides… knowledge and reasoning.
- p. 150
- Variant translation: In our time, which thinks it can do without ideals, that it can reject what it calls abstractions, and nourish itself on realism, rationalism and positivism; which thinks it can reduce all questions to matters of science or to the employing of more or less ingenious expedients; at such a time, I say, there is but one resource if you are to avoid disaster, and only one which will make you certain of what course to hold upon a given day. It is the worship — to the exclusion of all others — of two Ideas in the field of morals: duty and discipline. And that worship further needs, if it is to bear fruit and produce results, knowledge and reason.
- As quoted in "A Sketch of the Military Career of Marshal Foch" by Major A. Grasset
- In war there are none but particular cases; everything has there an individual nature; nothing ever repeats itself.
In the first place, the data of a military problem are but seldom certain; they are never final. Everything is in a constant state of change and reshaping.
- p. 152
- This absence of similarity among military questions naturally brings out the inability of memory to solve them; also the sterility of invariable forms, such as figures, geometrical drawings (épures), plans (schémas), etc. One only right solution imposes itself : namely, the application, varying according to circumstances, of fixed principles.
- p. 154
- The truth is, no study is possible on the battle-field; one does there simply what one can in order to apply what one knows. Therefore, in order to do even a little, one has already to know a great deal and to know it well.
- p. 175
- Every manoeuvre must be the development of a scheme; it must aim at a goal.
- p. 175
- Men called to the conduct of troops should prepare themselves to deal with cases more and more varied upon an ever-increasing horizon of experience. They can only be given the capacity to arrive at a prompt and judicious position by developing in them through study their power of analysis and of synthesis; that is, of conclusion in a purely objective sense, conclusion upon problems which have been actually lived and taken from real history. Thus also can they be founded through the conviction that comes from knowledge in a confidence sufficient to enable them to take such decisions upon the field of action.
- p. 199
- The unknown is the governing condition of war.
- p. 209
- Far from being a sum of distinct and partial results, victory is the consequence of efforts, some of which are victorious while others appear to be fruitless, which nevertheless all aim at a common goal, all drive at a common result: namely, at a decision, a conclusion which alone can provide victory.
- p. 209
- A war not only arises, but derives its nature, from the political ideas, the moral sentiments, and the international relations obtaining at the moment when it breaks out.
This amounts to saying : try and know why and with the help of what you are going to act; then you will find out how to act.
- p. 211
- The military art is not an accomplishment, an art for dilettante, a sport. You do not make war without reason, without an object, as you would give yourself up to music, painting, hunting, lawn tennis, where there is no great harm done whether you stop altogether or go on, whether you do little or much. Everything in war is linked together, is mutually interdependent, mutually interpenetrating. When you are at war you have no power to act at random. Each operation has a raison d'etre, that is an object; that object, once determined, fixes the nature and the value of the means to be resorted to as well as the use which ought to be made of the forces.
- p. 214
- A radish will never stand in the way of victory.
- As quoted in association with Foch in M*A*S*H, Season 3, Episode 1, "The General Flipped At Dawn"; this seems to be a jocular fabrication.
- None but a coward dares to boast that he has never known fear.
- As quoted in association with Foch in Encarta Book of Quotations (2000) by Bill Swainson and Anne H. Soukhanov, p. 338. This quote was actually said by French Marshal Jean Lannes during the Napoleonic Wars.

In the year of the 75th Great Victory anniversary UEC-Saturn will perpetuate the memory of engine builders – home front workers
Новости компании
January 20, 2020, Rybinsk. – The veteran organization of UEC-Saturn (part of United Engine Corporation, Rostec State Corporation) advanced the initiative to memorialize home front workers – those who worked for the company, having taken over from their parents, elder brothers and sisters. To mark the 75th Victory Day in the territory of the enterprise it is planned to install a memorial plate to labour front representatives on one of the plant buildings remaining since the war. It is one of the events scheduled by UEC-Saturn by the Great Victory anniversary in 2020 announced to be the Year of Memory and Glory in the Russian Federation.
"The company has already started getting ready for the celebration of the great day and veterans are engaged in this work. As long ago as last year the Council of Veterans put forward some proposals which we would like to implement by the Victory Day. To perpetuate the memory of home front workers is among the suggestions incorporated into the plan of events. Those who defended our country with weapons in hand are given a lot of attention and care. And we believe that the heroes who worked, who carried all the burden of the bad war years on their shoulders should not stay in the background,"

Ladies Frost Series Los Angeles Kings
Product Code: NHL-FRO-LA
Availability: Out Of Stock
Ice can be a wonderful thing. When a puck is sliding across the ice, the bright white of the ice provides a stunning backdrop to a simple piece of rubber. On a cold winter's day, the ice forming on a football field leads to a crunching sound every time a cleat touches it. A little ice forming on a baseball bat amplifies the crack of the bat when a ball hits it. All of these sights and sounds lend an almost magical quality to ice. That makes one wonder what took the creation of the Frost Series of watches so long to happen.
The Frost Series of watches takes advantage of the cold, stunning presence of ice and frost. From the silver watch face bearing the logo of your favorite team to the almost white silicone band, everything says ice and frost. Just as ice can reliably bear the weight of hockey players, the Japanese quartz movement and stainless steel caseback can stand the test of time.
It doesn't matter if it is in the heat of summer or the chill of winter, the Frost Series watch will retain its coolness.
* Strap Length 9.0 In.

Orion Black married his second cousin Walburga Black. This makes Walburga both Orion's wife and his second cousin and also makes Orion both Walburga's husband and her second cousin. Thus, in their infoboxes under "Family members" it states the relationship as such. However, this is not the only connection.
Orion's relation to Walburga's brothers make them both brothers-in-law and second cousins. The women Walburga's brothers marry are both sisters-in-law and second cousins-in-law to Orion, to be entirely accurate. Thus their daughters (Bellatrix Black and her sisters are included) are Orion's second cousins once removed and also neices by marriage. In turn, Orion is Bellatrix's second cousin once removed and also her uncle by marriage.
The similar concept can be applied to Walburga and Orion's closer family. Both Orion and Walburga's fathers-in-law are each their first cousin once removed, and their mothers-in-law are their first cousins-in-law once removed.
Yet, there exist connections that are not just -in-law or by marriage. Take Sirius Black and Regulus Black as prime examples! They are brothers, no? Yes, but they are more than that. They are also third cousins on both their paternal and maternal side, making them double third cousins. That is truly three connections! In fact, Sirius is double third cousin to himself and so is Regulus; however I do not know if we want to call people family members of themselves.
It goes beyond that, though. Sirius and Regulus's grandparents (both paternal and maternal) are also their first cousins(-in-laws) twice removed. Their Black great-grandparents (excluding the McMillans and the Crabbes) become their great-great-uncles and great-great-aunts by marriage. And finally, their Black great-great-great-grandparents (Phineas Nigellus Black and Ursula Black) are in fact their double great-great-great-grandparents because they exist once on both the paternal side and maternal side.
There are other double relationships, too. Some of Phineas Nigellus's children (Phineas, Belvina, and Arcturus) are Sirius and Regulus's double great-great-uncles and double great-great-aunt. Phineas Nigellus's siblings also have a similar relationship (double great-great-uncle/aunt). Spouses of such adopt the "by marriage". Meanwhile the children of a double great-great-uncle or double great-great-'aunt become a double first cousins twice removed' and children of those relatives would be double second cousins once removed (Sirius and Arthur Weasley sharing this relationship, if we are to trust Sirius's comment). And the pattern countinues.
But it is more than just adding a "double" to the front of a relationship to show that their are two lines connecting them. There are some relationships that are even more complex. Sirius to his "cousin" Bellatrix is actually first cousin, maternally, and third cousin, paternally. Thus making him to Draco first and third cousin once removed, and to Scorpius first and third cousin twice removed.
More unique patterns come up every step of the way when you connect any Black to Orion, Walburga, Sirius, or Regulus. Now, it would be easy to go through just their infoboxes and sort up the mess, but then (to be consistent) we would have to do the same with ALL of the other Black member's with their connection to the four.
So here's the deal: Should we just disregard any nonbiological links (-in-law, by marriage), only display the closest link (brother instead of brother/double third cousin), only display the closest relatives (do we really need an entire list of every relative known to every character?) or should we show all the information (like the big fat nerds we are, face it!) and incorporate this into the infobox of every Black relative (including the Weasleys, Potters, Longbottoms, Malfoys, Lestranges, well you get the picture)? Or (as another thought) should I stop using parenthesis and run-on questions (really, it is getting annoying)?
And, that's a wrap. 188.8.131.52 05:03, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Well, under the character infobox guidelines, no "cousins X-times removed" nor "great-Y" relationships are to be placed in the infobox, so that should solve the problem. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 23:23, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Sweepstakes Offers Viewers the Chance to Win "Your Turn to Get Exiled" Experience
Win Tickets To MTV Movie Awards, Opportunity To Participate In Trip To Africa With UN Foundation's Nothing But Nets
Washington, D.C.
November 3, 2008
Megan Rabbitt
The United Nations Foundation is partnering with MTV to give fans of the MTV hit show, Exiled, a chance to win a trip to the MTV 2009 Movie Awards or a trip to Africa with the UN Foundation's Nothing But Nets campaign.
"By exposing its cast mates to different cultures, Exiled helped introduce a new audience to global affairs and the importance of cultural exchange," said Ian V. Rowe, Vice President, Strategic Partnerships & Public Affairs, MTV. "This contest will allow the show's fans to walk in the cast mates' footsteps and see firsthand how they can positively impact the world."
"The Get Exiled sweepstakes and our partnership with MTV is an opportunity for young people in America to connect with young people around the world – their issues, their dreams and their challenges – in a very real way," said Elizabeth Gore McKee, Executive Director of Partnership Alliances, UN Foundation and Executive Director of Nothing But Nets.
Viewers who enter the sweepstakes are eligible to win two tickets to the MTV 2009 Movie Awards, and/or a chance to join the UN Foundation's Nothing But Nets campaign – a global, grassroots effort to prevent malaria – on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Africa. The deadline to enter the contest is December 31, 2008. Winners will be notified in late January 2008.
"My Super Sweet 16 Presents: EXILED!", which premiered August 25, 2008, featured some of the most memorable party throwers featured in MTV's "My Super Sweet 16" as they gave up their pampered lifestyles to live with indigenous cultures throughout the world. Through their experiences, the former divas (and one "divo") learned about such pressing social issues as malaria, gender inequity, climate change and cultural preservation.
Working with Exiled producers and MTV's Think Community, the UN Foundation provided content that helped connect viewers who wanted to learn more about the issues the show explored with the organizations and activities working to make a difference.

** - These statistics are from Fire Departments that have recorded their information on the Oklahoma, Forestry Services web-based Fire Reporting System. Totals do not reflect the total acres burned or total number of fires that have occurred in Oklahoma.
Statewide Discussion:
A less intrusive dry line than was anticipated yesterday relegated fire danger in large part with the highest fire danger isolated to the Panhandle and far northwest Oklahoma. No large or problematic fire occurrence was reported. A cold front that continues to move southeast across Oklahoma and precipitation received during storms yesterday afternoon and evening have reduced fire danger for most of Oklahoma today.
The highest fire danger today will be across the Panhandle and into extreme northwest Oklahoma as well as an isolated pocket in the far southwest area of the state around Beckham County. In these areas temperatures will top out between 68°-72° with afternoon relative humidity around 25%. Winds will be out of the north following the cold front at 14-18 mph with occasional gusts 20-25 mph. Fires occurring in these limited areas may produce rapid rates of fire spread.
Storms that moved across the state yesterday produced rainfall and some areas of severe weather in Oklahoma. Fire control issues are not anticipated in the eastern half of Oklahoma with higher humidity levels today accompanying the progression of green-up and leaf-out.
Remember… ONLY YOU can prevent wildfires! Enjoy Oklahoma's wildlands responsibly.

Would you wear this??
These high waisted jeans?? Yes or No???
How about scarves in the summer? Yes or No?
Cameron Diaz is denying the whole thing!
AOL news is reporting that Diaz is denying that she broke up Criss Angel and his wife. Her publicist is saying that the actress met Criss in May, over a year after Criss separated from his wife. And he goes on to say Cameron and Criss went on only four dates over a month ago and have no current relationship.
Well then, what the heck is really going on? Where is Criss to defend himself???

Over at Nature News, Erika Check Hayden has a post about a recent Science Translational Medicine paper by Bert Vogelstein and colleages looking at the potential predictive power of genetics. The take-home message from the study (or at least the message that has been taken home by, e.g., this NYT article) is that DNA does not perfectly determine which disease or diseases you may get in the future. This take home message is true, and to me relatively obvious (in the same way that smoking doesn't perfectly determine lung cancer, or body weight and dietary health doesn't perfectly determine diabetes status).
A lot of researchers have had a pretty negative reaction to this paper (see Erika's storify of the twitter coverage). There are lots of legitimate criticism (see Erika's post for details), but to be honest I suspect that a lot of this is a mixture of indignation and sour grapes that this paper, a not particularly original or particularly well done attempt to answer a question that many other people have answered before, got so much press (including a feature in the NYT). A very large number of people have tried to quantify the potential predictive power of genetics for a number of years – why was there no news feature for me and Jeff, or David Clayton, or Naomi Wray and Peter Visccher, or any of the other large number of stat-gen folks who have been doing exactly these studies for years. ANGER RISING and so forth.
But of course, the reason is relatively obvious. All of the papers I linked to there are by statistical geneticists, are technical, discuss models and the merit of various predictive measures, and never came with a press release or an attempt to talk to the public about them. The message, to those who can read them, is clear and well established – genetic risk prediction (or any form of risk prediction) will never be able to perfectly predict disease incidence, and will never replace diagnostic tests. But the fact that the results of Bert Vogelstein's study seems to have come as a surprise to people, when it comes as no surprise to us, shows us that we have failed in one of our primary duties to keep the public informed about the results of our research. The paper's failure as a work of statistical genetics stands in contrast to its success as a work of public outreach. If we are annoyed that a bad paper got the message across, then we should be annoyed with ourselves that we never communicated our own results properly. Here is some small attempt to rectify that:
People with exactly the same weight, height, sex, race, diet, childhood infection exposures, vaccination history, family history and environmental toxin levels will usually not get the same disease. Identical twins, despite sharing the same DNA, the same socioeconomic background, the same childhood environment and (usually) the same bloody placenta, will usually not get the same disease. There is no health destiny, there is always a strong random component in anything that happens to your body. This does not mean that none of these things are important; being aware of your disease risks is one of the most important things you can do for your own future health. But risk is not destiny.
If there is one take-home message, one bite-sized bit of knowledge that everyone should know about genetic health, it is that identical twins usually do not die from the same thing, BUT that they are far more likely to than two random individuals. This is a perfect analogy for how well (and badly) risk prediction can work: you will never have a better prediction than knowing the health outcomes of essentially another copy of you*. The health outcomes of another version of you will be invaluable, and will help guide you, your doctor and the health-care establishment, if they use this information properly. But it won't let them know exactly what will happen to you, because identical twins usually do not die from the same thing. Hold that in your head, and you will have understood about as much important information as you would have got from reading Bert Vogelstein's paper (or any of the others I linked to). The rest is just statistical genetics, important for health-care planning and research (and for its inherent interest), but secondary to the main message.
Identical twins usually do not die from the same thing.

*Sorry to MZ twins, who I guess will find that description a bit offensive. But on the other hand, you get the awesome privilege of knowing someone who is essentially a copy of you, so from where I'm standing you still come out on top.

Shanghai PPTV Grand Slam | 29 avril - 4 mai 2014
Shanghai, China, May 2, 2014 – Brazilian Emanuel Rego never stops loving the sport of beach volleyball. At the age of 41, the triple Olympic medalist continues to enjoy playing with the younger generation.
"Because first of all I love to change something in my game every year, and I also like to play with young players, I want to teach them what I have learnt. That's why I keep on playing for these years and plan to move on,†said Emanuel, who was playing at the Shanghai Grand Slam together with 28-year-old Pedro Salgado, his 11th partner from 1994 through to 2014.
Emanuel has participated in five consecutive Olympic Games since 1996 with four different partners. After winning gold and bronze with Ricardo Santos at the Athens Games in 2004 and the Beijing Games in 2008, he paired with Alison Cerutti, who is 13 years younger than him, to take the silver at the London Games in 2012. From the beginning of this season, he began to work with Pedro.
"I like to play with the young generations. All the new players always bring me a different style to play,†he said.
Born in 1973, Emanuel has been a beach volleyball player for twenty-three years since he quit indoor volleyball. With all the experience he has got from his career, he is always calm on the court.
"I am very calm because I always try to be thinking what will happen in the next play, and how to change the strategy.â€
With three Olympic medals and three World Championships titles under his belt, Emanuel would like to pass his experience to youth and at the same time continue to enjoy the pleasure of the sport.
"I want to do the same as I did with Alison – to plan together, to win some good tournaments and to have some more confidence, as he is doing now. It's my pleasure, it's my duty.â€
Following a fifth-place finish in their first tournament at the season-opening Fuzhou Open last week, Emanuel thought he and Pedro had a lot to work on.
"I like the way he plays, because it is easy to play with one partner who always pushes you for the best ball and best hit. I think he is the fire of our team,†Emanuel said, â€We are only three months together, so we need to improve more on games.â€
"We are a very young team, that's why I think we have a few mistake during the match, but we try to concentrate and to be more consistent during every game.â€
With only two years away from the Rio Games, Emanuel was not sure whether he would go for his sixth Olympic Games.
"For myself I want to be ready physically for 2014, but you never know. Every year is different, then I want to enjoy every moment,†he said. "I want to be playing in the next World Championships in Holland and I think it's the first objective in my mind. Keep moving. Always keep doing the best I can!â€
Emanuel also a member of the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Athlete Commission.

Inside every Gameface member is a geek. So here is a thread to celebrate that, and you can also take your own geek discussions here.
Let us start off with something from Cracked, an institution that deifies Geek:
5 Classic Geek Debates That Were Settled a Long Time Ago
By Luke McKinney | January 14, 2015 | 961,859 views
The Internet is an infinite playground filled with imagination, joy, and childish assholes screaming at each other. The freedom of online discussion has elevated nerd arguments into an art form. But, just like modern art, there are still too many psychopaths flinging shit and screaming under the assumption that it's all as important as real thought.
Two people arguing over which is the coolest Doctor aren't losers, because they're both doing something they enjoy. They have all the advantages of football fandom with far more source material, a much wider variety of pitches, and the entertaining advantage that their hobby doesn't continually cripple people.
Ridley Scott recently answered Blade Runner's eternal question of whether Deckard is a replicant. And if you don't want to know the answer, then whatever you do, don't remember that he thinks he's a human in a sci-fi movie entirely and only about how replicants can pass as human. And as Cracked's nerdiest nerd -- I not only understand questions like "How did Pacific Rim's Kaidonovskys survive?" but have strong feelings about them and provide multiple answers -- I've found five more eternal nerd questions with definite answers.
#5. Star Destroyer vs Enterprise
With the ridicuzillions of stars in the universe you'd think there would be enough to both trek to and war over, but no. Star Destroyer versus Enterprise has been the iconic nerd battle since we looked at the Enterprise's wonderful mission to find new life beyond the stars and asked, "Yeah, but how good are you at blowing shit up?"
The Star Destroyer redefined science-fiction cinema. Its first appearance taught us that far above the sky there is the awesomeness of space, and far above that there's an even cooler and larger spaceship.
The Enterprise is the image of advanced technology, humanity's best using its most advanced knowledge to learn even more. The Star Destroyer is the embodiment of irresistible bureaucracy: only an empire could afford to build something so insanely huge, and it's unstoppable despite being staffed with people so eminently replaceable that murdering the captain is how you add exclamation points to internal memos.
The resulting battle isn't just an action scene, it's an ideological debate. People have spent decades working out every possible angle of the conflict, from military tactics to technological interactions to raw energy outputs painstakingly extracted from freeze-frames of the source material.
Easy Answer: Enterprise
If your enemy has transporter technology and you don't, winning isn't one of your options. You get to choose between surrendering, exploding, or choking in space. Darth Vader can asphyxiate someone by raising his arm. Transporter Chief O'Brien can do the same thing by raising a few fingers and beaming them into space.
The Star Wars universe has never even heard of transporter technology, and so wouldn't have any defense against it. The Enterprise doesn't even need to beam photon torpedoes onto the Destroyer -- just remove any one of the million things the Destroyer needs to prevent itself from exploding and you're done. The movies established that Imperial technology is shorter-lived than Stormtrooper armor with a red undershirt.
Narratively, things are even worse for the Empire. The answer is in the "the" (and the italics reserved for proper craft names): the Enterprise is a named hero, while Star Destroyers are nameless minions. Not one in the movies has a title or a victory. Named hero versus minion only ever goes one way.
(Consolation prize: the Star Destroyer hasn't been in nearly as many terrible movies.)
#4. Sega vs Nintendo
In the '80s, Sega versus Nintendo was the Sharks versus the Jets, but on school playgrounds, and with even less convincing physical violence.
We loved them no matter how cruelly or often they killed us every night. This was back when liking video games was less socially acceptable than stealing panties, which at least demonstrated physical ability, interest in sex, and several possible career skills. But instead of getting together to discuss games, Genesis and SNES kids would mock each other's almost identical passions. It's the purest example of capitalism fueling conflict among minorities who really should have been working together against wider social problems.
Easy Answer: Nintendo
Sega would go on to release more failed machines than a Skynet factory, and they were even less popular with the end users. The Sega CD, 32X, Saturn: they couldn't have eliminated childish joy faster if they'd released a cerebral bore trying to get your credit card number.
I was a Nintendo fanboy, and I used to say that Nintendo could release a console that only they made games for and still succeed. I wasn't expecting them to actually test the theory, but with the Wii they've done exactly that. And made zillions of dollars. They're making so much money from so few intellectual properties, they threw the best one away just to show that they could. To say nothing of their terminal ignorance of F-Zero.
As kids we couldn't even dream of Mario and Sonic on the same console. Now we have Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games on the Wii.
That's not just Sonic working with Mario -- that's Sonic crashing on Mario's couch because he's got nowhere else to go.
#3. Is Cobb Awake at the End of Inception?
The ending of Inception could have annoyed more people only if Dominic Cobb had spawned a mafia family, gone to a restaurant, and it suddenly cut to black. The movie ends with Cobb finally returning home to see his children. When he spins his totem top to find out if he's truly awake or trapped in a wonderful dream, he walks off to see his children without waiting to find out. And lo, the Internet went crazy.
Is he awake? Is he still dreaming? People went to insane lengths, like tracking down the movie's costume director, to find out if the children are wearing the same clothes as in previous dream sequences.
Easy Answer: Awake
This answer has multiple levels, and is therefore perfect for the movie. The first level is that we're not meant to know for sure whether he's awake or not. But the Internet reacts to ambiguity the same way Star Trek computers react to ambiguity -- screeching and violent explosions. The second level -- from the director himself -- is that the real answer is that Cobb doesn't care anymore; he just wants to see his kids. But that's garbage. If he truly cares about his kids, it's even more important that he knows that he's awake, otherwise those aren't his kids. And if he's prepared to accept a dream, he should have done that back before he manslaughtered his wife by mind-abusing her until she committed suicide. Oh, and watching her go insane for months without going back into her dreams to fix his spiritual sabotage, which is his only skill -- Jesus, Cobb.
Luckily, we can go deeper, and on the third level he's obviously awake. The camera cuts away just as the top starts to wobble. Which means he's awake! In the dreams, that top spins like a laser-aligned black hole. It won't stop before the universe ends or the dreamer dies, that being its exact described function. When we see it in a definite dream (you know, when he violates his wife's brain without her knowledge or consent), it spins perfectly.
So if it wobbles, he's awake. Easy. This theory is less about the mysteries of the movie and more about the effects of the Internet on people's intelligence. It's no longer enough to work out an answer -- they want to be told an answer from a definite source. But the whole point of the brain is working things out, not just referencing sources. Referencing sources is the Internet's job, not ours.

text: I've lived without a floor jack for long enough. I have ramps for the basics, and the trunk jack for changing tires and emergencies, but I need the real thing to get up on all fours. Which jack should I buy? I don't need it to be light weight, and my car is not lowered. I will only use it a few times a year in my garage. A large saddle would be nice to make me more confident about jack placement. A strong frame is a must, obviously, and a smooth release valve so lowering isn't too scary. I'd also like a one-piece handle. Those two-piece jobs are really flimsy. I don't want the world's best jack, just one that I will be comfortable using. I'm looking at: OTC 1525 - 2-Ton, 4-22'' lift, 6" saddle, $315 from Pelican Parts Does anyone know about this jack? It claims to be the strongest in it's class. On the UnofficialBMW site, there are many references to a "Lincoln 96342": Under $200, warranty, etc. I don't think Lincoln Tools exists anymore. How do I find this jack? It seems aluminum jacks have gotten a lot less expensive. I've always understood that the biggest advantages were low weight and low min. height. These are not issues for me so I always assumed I'll get more jack for the money with a steel jack, but should I consider an aluminum one anyway? Thanks in advance, -- Aubrey Granner '93 325i

Dhaka, 5 April 2016 - Linde Bangladesh Limited, a member of The Linde Group's Gases Division, today marked the start of construction for the company's BDT 1.2 billion (EUR 14.6 million) air separation unit (ASU) in Rupganj.
Linde's investment in this new plant was announced in November 2015. When completed in 2017, the Rupganj plant will produce approximately 100 tonnes per day of liquefied gases, making it the largest liquid producing ASU in Bangladesh.

By investing in this country, Linde demonstrates that it has faith in Bangladesh and its market. By providing the necessary support to Linde, the authorities in Bangladesh show that investing in Bangladesh does pay off and that Foreign Direct Investments are really welcomed. Thus, I hope that this venture serves as a successful example of such investments which in turn can help to attract other multi-national companies to follow suit."
Mr. Sanjiv Lamba, Executive Board Member and Chief Operating Officer, Asia Pacific, Linde AG, said, "Asia Pacific is the growth engine for The Linde Group, and our Bangladesh business is an important part of our larger South Asia business. Economically, Bangladesh has developed at an impressive rate, maintaining a steady growth rate in recent years amidst a global economic downturn. We are optimistic that the country will continue to grow year-on-year ."
Mr. Lamba added, "Demand for our gases offerings has continued to been strong and we are making this investment as an investment for the future. The Rupganj plant will more than double Linde Bangladesh's current production capacity, strengthening Linde's position as the leading gases player in Bangladesh. We are proud to continue to partner Bangladesh in its growth journey just as we always have for the past 60 years."
The new ASU will be built leveraging Linde's engineering technical and design expertise. Linde's world-leading technology in air separation design offers high energy efficiency and operational reliability.
