I want to introduct something about cast iron sink.

Like Litella, Roseanne was brought in to give editorial replies to current issues. Unlike Emily Litella, however, Roseanne Roseannadanna was not meek or apologetic, but rather very explosive. The character later appeared in Radner's live one-woman shows. Her name is likely a reference to the WABC-TV newswoman from 1972-84 Rose Ann Scamardella.As portrayed by Radner, Roseannadanna was a brash, tactless woman with wild hair.Contents1 Routine 2 Characterization 3 After Saturday Night Live 4 List of SNL Episodes Featuring Rosanne Roseannadanna 5 See also // RoutineRoseannadanna's Saturday Night Live commentary would follow a strict formula. She would read a letter which was almost always from the same person: Richard Feder of Fort Lee, New Jersey (although, on one occasion, she read a letter from a "Mrs." Richard Feder). The letter would ask a series of questions, usually about some current social issue, to which Roseannadanna would usually reply, "Mr. Feder, you sure do ask a lot of stupid questions for a guy from New Jersey," or "You belong in New Jersey!" Then she would sometimes make a derogatory comment about New Jersey. She would then answer the questions.While answering the questions, she would invariably digress, launching into a lengthy anecdote with no relevance to the topic at hand, frequently having to do with an encounter Roseannadanna had had with a celebrity (Bo Derek, Princess Grace, etc.). Invariably, the story would lead into Roseannadanna's going into disgustingly graphic detail about bodily functions or personal hygiene; with these details, she would use a famous celebrity as an example and say that she would ask these celebrities, "What are ya tryin' to do, make me sick?!"Eventually, Jane Curtin would interrupt, stating, "Roseanne, you're making me sick". Curtin would then ask her what her comments had to do with the question. Roseannadanna's response was, "Well, Jane, it just goes to show you, it's always something."She would then wrap up her comments by sharing a piece of advice passed down from a family member (often her father, but sometimes her "Nana" Roseannadanna; in one episode, she mentioned her aunt Pollyanna Roseannadanna, and in another, her "musically happening cousin, Carlos Santana Roseannadanna").CharacterizationThe character also had a tendency to refer to herself by her full name whenever possible ("Mr. Feder, I know what you're talkin' about, because, I, Roseanne Roseannadanna, once had the same thing happen to me.") and often exaggerated her tribulations, saying, "I thought I was gonna die!"For example, she was talking about eating a hamburger in a restaurant and how she felt something hard in it. And she spit it out and it was white and looked like a toenail. She said, "I thought I was gonna die. I mean, what was a toenail doing in my hamburger?" Then she went to the restroom and on the way to the restroom she saw Princess Lee Radziwill who she described as the "classy lady that no one knows where she's the princess of." But what the Princess didn't know was she had a tiny piece of toilet paper hanging off her shoe, and she was walking around and the toilet paper wouldn't fall off. "I thought I was gonna be sick. So I says to her, 'Hey Princess Leehat are ya tryin' to do, make me sick?' " So Jane Curtin asked her what this had to do with anything. Roseanne said, "Well it just goes to show you, it's always something, you either got a toenail in your hamburger or toilet paper clinging to your shoe."After Saturday Night LiveIn Radner's off-Broadway one-woman show, she included a sketch where Roseanadanna was invited to give the commencement speech at Columbia University. In an apparent attempt to prepare the new graduates for the hard road ahead, she described a job interview she'd had with CBS, in which Walter Cronkite mistakenly thought she'd "passed gas" and consequently kicked her out of his office. The character was later credited as "co-author" of Radner's book Roseanne Roseannadanna's Hey Get Back to Work. In the last year of her life, Radner released a memoir of her experience with ovarian cancer, entitled It's Always Something. Radner also recorded the book on audio, imitating Roseannadanna and other of her SNL characters when describing those parts of her life.List of SNL Episodes Featuring Rosanne RoseannadannaOctober 29, 1977 host: Charles Grodin-- on this episode, Gilda's Roseanne Roseannadanna character was not on Weekend Update.

Synclavier

I want to introduct something about Bluetooth Clip Type Wireless Stereo Headphone.

Radio: Carrier Frequency: 2.400 - 2.480 GHz Speed Spectrum: FHSS Modulation mthod: GFSK Synclavier IThe Synclavier System was an early synthesizer and sampler, manufactured by New England Digital. First released in 1975, it proved to be highly influential among both music producers and electronic musicians, due to its versatility, its cutting-edge technology and distinctive sound.First developed at Dartmouth College, the Synclavier was one of the first synthesizers to completely integrate digital technology. It used FM synthesis as well as sampling in order to create sounds, which were stored on large, magnetic disks. It was often referred to, by New England Digital and others, as the "tapeless studio," due to one's ability to compose and produce an entire song, solely on the Synclavier. Synclavier Systems were expensive - the highest price ever paid for one was about $500,000, although average systems were closer to about $200,000 - $300,000. Although this made it inaccessible for most musicians, it found widespread use among producers and professional recording studios, and it competed in this market with other high-end production systems, such as the Fairlight CMI.For the price, users got a system with custom parts, built by hand, all to the highest specifications available. Users enjoyed most of the abilities of modern PC "virtual" sound studios - recording, sequencing, playback, and disk storage. All were integrated seamlessly with the hardware, with a high degree of parallelism built into the electronics (for example, two digital to analog converters for each stereo channel of sampled sound, with analog volume control) to avoid the issues of digital mixing artifacts, latency, and heavy CPU usage that are concerns of modern PC-based studios. In these respects, the Synclavier system still surpasses modern methods.Two generations of the Synclavier System, the Synclavier I and the Synclavier II, were produced. Synclavier II boasted upgraded sampling capacity and memory, as well as a velocity- and pressure-sensitive keyboard. This tends to be the more commonly found, as most Synclavier I owners upgraded after the release of the Synclavier II.The Sample-to-Disk option offered in 1982 was the first 16-bit digital audio hard drive recording device on the market. It was capable of monophonic recordings with a sampling rate of up to 50 kHz. Greater throughput was not possible due to the limitations of hard drives at the time.New England Digital went out of business in 1991, and the Synclavier is no longer manufactured. It is, however, still in use in the recording industry, particularly among soundtrack composers and sound designers.Notable Synclavier usersFrank Zappa - composed his 1986 Grammy-winning album Jazz From Hell and recorded the works of Francesco Zappa in 1984 entirely on Synclavier. Also, the posthumous two-hour Civilization, Phaze III was allegedly around 70% Synclavier-made. Depeche Mode (Mute Records) Fad Gadget (Mute Records} a-ha - the album Hunting High and Low (1985) Paul Simon - on Simon's 1983 album Hearts and Bones, Tom Coppola is credited for Synclavier for the following tracks: "When Numbers Get Serious," "Think Too Much (b)," "Song About the Moon" and "Think Too Much (a)," and Wells Christie is credited with Synclavier on "Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War." On his 1986 album Graceland, Paul [Simon] is credited under "Synclavier" for the following tracks: "I Know What I Know" and "Gumboots" Laurie Anderson - her 1984 album Mister Heartbreak includes visual depictions of Synclavier sound waves in the liner notes Nile Rodgers Chuck Hammer - Guitarchitecture recordings 19831986, and recordings with, Nile Rodgers, Duran Duran and rehearsals with Laurie Anderson Hall & Oates - Most of 1984's Big Bam Boom album. The Cars Genesis - Most musicians using the Synclavier kept it in the studio. Genesis used the instrument in arena shows, which is a high accomplishment as the Synclavier is huge and power to arena stages is typically very noisy. Duran Duran - programmed by Chuck Hammer Bob Boilen - Used during production of the 'whizbang' audio track for the Smithsonian Museum of American History Sean Callery Herbie Hancock Jean-Luc Ponty - particularly on The Gift of Time, and presumably most of his 1980's albums. Alan Silvestri - in producing the scores for the 1980s films The Clan of the Cave Bear and Flight of the Navigator. Wally Badarou - keyboardist for Level 42, Robert Palmer and others. Producer Trevor Horn - used the Synclavier on records by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Yes, and Grace Jones, among others Michael Jackson - particularly on his 1982 album Thriller, programming by Steve Porcaro, Brian Banks and Anthony Marinelli.

He invented the electric clock, the electric printing telegraph, and the first facsimile machine (fax machine). Bain installed the railway telegraph lines between Edinburgh and Glasgow.Contents1 Biography 1.1 Early life 1.2 Career 1.3 Facsimile machine 1.4 Chemical telegraph 2 Later life 3 Death and legacy 4 Further reading 5 External articles // BiographyEarly lifeBain was born in Watten, Caithness, Scotland. Bain's father was a crofter. Bain had a twin sister, Margaret, and, in total, he had six sisters and six brothers. Bain did not excel in school and was apprenticed to a clockmaker in Wick.CareerHaving learned the art of clockmaking, he went to Edinburgh, and in 1837 to London, where he obtained work as a journeyman in Clerkenwell. Bain frequented the lectures at the Polytechnic Institution and the Adelaide Gallery and later constructed his own workshop in Hanover Street.In 1840, desperate for money to develop his inventions, Bain mentioned his financial problems to the editor of the Mechanics Magazine, who introduced him to Sir Charles Wheatstone. Bain demonstrated his models to Wheatstone, who, when asked for his opinion, said "Oh, I shouldn't bother to develop these things any further! There's no future in them." Three months later Wheatstone demonstrated an electric clock to the Royal Society, claiming it was his own invention. However, Bain had already applied for a patent for it. Wheatstone tried to block Bain's patents, but failed. When Wheatstone organised an Act of Parliament to set up the Electric Telegraph Company, the House of Lords summoned Bain to give evidence, and eventually compelled the company to pay Bain ?10,000 and give him a job as manager, causing Wheatstone to resign.Bain's first patent was dated January 11, 1841, and was in the names of John Barwise, chronometer maker, and Alexander Bain, mechanist. It describes his electric clock which uses a pendulum kept moving by electromagnetic impulses. He improved on this in later patents, including a proposal to derive the required electricity from an "earth battery", which consisted of plates of zinc and copper buried in the ground.In December 1841, Bain in conjunction with Lieutenant Thomas Wright RN, patented a method for using electricity to control railway engines by turning off steam, marking time, giving signals, and printing information at different locations. The most significant idea incorporated in the patent was his plan for inverting the needle telegraph earlier developed by Ampere, Wheatstone and others: instead of making signals by a pivoted magnetic needle under the influence of an electromagnet, he made them by suspending a movable coil between the poles of a fixed magnet. A similar concept appears in Sir William Thomson's siphon recorder. Bain also proposed to make the coil record messages by printing them, an idea he developed further in a subsequent patent.Facsimile machineBain invented his facsimile machine in 1843. He used a clock to synchronise the movement of two pendulums for line-by-line scanning of a message. For transmission, Bain applied metal pins arranged on a cylinder made of insulating material. An electric probe that transmitted on-off pulses then scanned the pins. The message was reproduced at the receiving station on electrochemically sensitive paper impregnated with a chemical solution similar to that developed for his chemical telegraph. In his patent description dated May 27, 1843 for "improvements in producing and regulating electric currents and improvements in timepieces, and in electric printing, and signal telegraphs," he claimed that "a copy of any other surface composed of conducting and non-conducting materials can be taken by these means". The transmitter and receiver were connected by five wires. In 1850 he applied for an improved version but was too late, as Frederick Bakewell had obtained a patent for his superior "image telegraph" two years earlier in 1848.Chemical telegraphOn December 12, 1846, Bain, who was then living in Edinburgh, patented a chemical telegraph. He had seen that the Morse and other telegraphs then in use were comparatively slow, due to the mechanical inertia of their moving parts, and realized that the signal current could be used to make a readable mark on a moving paper tape soaked in a mixture of ammonium nitrate and potassium ferrocyanide, which gave a blue mark when a current was passed through it.The speed at which marks could be made on the paper was so...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about laser printing machine, ro pilot machine, .

Marine outfall

I want to introduct something about . A marine outfall is a pipeline or tunnel that discharges municipal or industrial wastewater, stormwater, combined sewer overflows, cooling water, or brine effluents from desalination plants to the sea. Usually they discharge under the sea's surface (submarine outfall). In the case of municipal wastewater, effluent is often being discharged after having undergone no or only primary treatment, with the intention of using the assimilative capacity of the sea for further treatment. Submarine outfalls are common throughout the world and probably number in the thousands. More than 200 outfalls alone have been listed in a single international database maintained by the Institute for Hydromechanics at Karlsruhe University for the International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR) / International Water Association (IWA) Committee on Marine Outfall Systems.In Latin America and the Caribbean there were 134 outfalls with more than 500 m length in 2006 for wastewater disposal alone, according to a survey by the Panamerican Center for Environmental Engineering (CEPIS) of PAHO. According to the survey, the largest number of municipal wastewater outfalls in the region exist in Venezuela (39), Chile (39) and Brazil (22).Contents1 Advantages 2 Disadvantages 3 Technology 4 Examples 5 Controversies 6 References 7 Sources 8 External links // AdvantagesAccording to the Australian engineer Sharon Beder the main advantages of marine outfalls for the discharge of wastewater are:the natural dilution and dispersion of organic matter, pathogens and other pollutants the ability to keep the sewage field submerged because of the depth at which the sewage is being released the greater die-off rate of pathogens due to the greater distance they will have to travel to shore. They also tend to be less expensive than advanced wastewater treatment plants, using the natural assimilative capacity of the sea instead of energy-intensive treatment processes in a plant. They also require less land.DisadvantagesMarine outfalls for partially treated or untreated wastewater remain controversial. Still according to Sharon Beder, the design calculation and computer models for pollution modeling have been criticized, arguing that dilution has been overemphasized and that other mechanisms work in the opposite direction, such as bioaccumulation of toxins, sedimentation of sludge particles and agglomeration of sewage particles with grease. Accumulative mechanisms include slick formation, windrow formation, flocculate formation and agglomerated formation. Grease or wax can interfer with dispersion, so that bacteria and viruses could be carried to remote locations where the concentration of bacterial predators would be low and the die-off rate much lower.TechnologyOutfalls vary in diameter from as narrow as 15 cm to as wide as 8 meters; the widest registered outfall in the world with 8 m diameter is located in Navia (Spain) for the discharge of industrial wastewater. Outfalls vary in length from 50 meters to 55 km, the longest registered outfalls being the Boston outfall with a length of 16 km and an industrial outfall in Ankleshwar (India) with a length of 55 km. The depth of the deepest point of an outfall varies from 3 m to up to 60 m, the deepest registered outfall being located in Macuto, Vargas (Venezuela) for the discharge of untreated municipal wastewater.Outfall materials include polyethylene, stainless steel, carbon steel, glass-reinforced plastic, reinforced concrete, cast iron or tunnels through rock. Common installation methods for pipelines are float and sink, bottom pull and top pull.ExamplesSubmarine outfalls exist, existed or have been considered - among many others - in the following locations:AfricaCasablanca (Morocco). AsiaManila Bay (Philippines). Mumbai (India). AustraliaSydney. EuropeBarcelona, Spain Costa do Estoril (Portugal), the Marmara Sea near Istanbul (Turkey), San Sebasti (Spain), Split (Croatia), the Thames Estuary downstream of London (UK), and Edinburgh, Scotland. North AmericaHonolulu (USA), the New York Bight (USA), the Southern California Bight (USA), and Victoria, British Columbia, (Canada). Latin America and the CaribbeanCartagena, Colombia, Ipanema near Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). This outfall, built in 1975, discharges untreated wastewater through a pipe with a diameter of 2.4m and a length of 4,775m at a depth of 27m. Sosua (Dominican Republic). ControversiesIn the 1960s the city of Sydney decided to build ocean sewage outfalls to discharge partially treated sewage 2-4 km offshore at a cost of US$ 300 million.

Soapstone

I want to introduct something about Table Napkin Dispenser (5") & Table Napkin Dispenser (7"). Features: 1) Two-side Table Napkin Dispensers. 2) Designed for easy to refill and dispense Napkin 3) 5" and 7" Length for different usage. 4) Variable color available. The lid of a soapstone box. The lid is 4 inches wide (10 cm).Soapstone (also known as steatite or soaprock) is a metamorphic rock, a talc-schist. It is largely composed of the mineral talc and is rich in magnesium. It is produced by dynamothermal metamorphism and metasomatism, which occurs at the areas where tectonic plates are subducted, changing rocks by heat and pressure, with influx of fluids, but without melting. It has been a medium for carving for thousands of years.Contents1 Petrology 2 Physical characteristics and uses 3 Other names 4 See also 5 References 6 External links // PetrologyA block of talcPetrologically, soapstone is composed dominantly of talc, with varying amounts of chlorite and amphiboles (typically tremolite, anthophyllite, and magnesiocummingtonite), and trace to minor FeCr-oxides. It may be schistose or massive. Soapstone is formed by the metamorphism of ultramafic protoliths (e.g. dunite or serpentinite) and the metasomatism of siliceous dolostones.Pyrophyllite, a mineral very similar to talc is sometimes called soapstone in the generic sense since its physical characteristics and industrial uses are similar,[citation needed] and because it is also commonly used as a carving material. However this mineral typically does not have such a soapy feel as that from which soapstone derives its name.Physical characteristics and usesSoapstone sculpture on the Hoysala temple at Belur, India Steatite is relatively soft (because of the high talc content, talc being one on Mohs hardness scale), and may feel soapy when touched, hence the name. Soapstone is used for inlaid designs, sculpture, coasters, and kitchen countertops and sinks. Traditional Inuit carvings often use soapstone, and some Native American groups made bowls, cooking slabs, and other objects from soapstone, particularly during the Late Archaic archaeological period. Soapstone is sometimes used for fireplace surrounds and woodstoves because it can absorb and evenly distribute heat while being easy to manufacture. This is found in many upscale Alaskan and Scandinavian homes. It is also used for griddles and other cookware. Generally, suppliers of soapstone counter tops recommend the use of mineral oil to enhance the color of soapstone. Mineral oil, also known as liquid petrolatum, is a by product in the distillation of petroleum when producing gasoline, will not produce the desired darker appearance of black coloration with one application.[citation needed] It takes many applications over a long period of time to get to an acceptable difference in the color. Soapstone naturally forms a patina over time, similar to the oxidization process that occurs with other materials like copper.[citation needed] A weathered or aged appearance will occur naturally over time as the patina is enhanced. Applying mineral oil will simply darken the appearance of the stone; it will not and does not protect it in any way.Tepe Yahya, an ancient trading city in southeastern Iran, was a centre for the production and distribution of soapstone in the 5th3rd millennia BC Another instance of use in the ancient world is found in Minoan Crete at the Palace of Knossos, where archaeological recovery has included a magnificent libation table made of steatite.Soapstone has been used in India for centuries as a soft medium for carving, but world wide demand for soapstone is threatening the habitat of India's tigers. The Hoysala Empire temples were made from soapstone.Soapstone is used by welders and fabricators as a marker because, due to its resistance to heat, it remains visible when heat is applied. It has also been used for many years by seamstresses, carpenters, and other craftsmen as a marking tool because its marks are very visible and not permanent. For these purposes, it is often sold in 6 inch long square or round sticks.[citation needed]Soapstone can be used to create molds for casting objects from soft metals, such as pewter or silver. The soft stone is easily carved and is not degraded by heating. The slick surface of soapstone allows the finished object to be easily removed.Soapstone smoking pipes are found, for example, among Native American Indian artifacts.Locally quarried soapstone was used for gravemarkers in 19th century northeast Georgia around Dahlonega and Cleveland, as simple field stone and "slot and tab" tombs.Soapstone is also a basic stone used to carve Chinese seals.An Egyptian carved and glazed steatite scarab amulet.The term steatite is sometimes used for soapstone. It may also denote a type of ceramic material made from soapstone with minor additives and heated to vitrify (to change or make into glass or a glassy substance, especially through heat fusion).[citation needed] It is often used as an insulator or housing...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about earthenware table ware, Automatic Hand Dryer, .

At the rehabilitation centre, each contestant is taught key driving skills, and are tested in various challenges, with three challenges to an episode. Before each challenge, host Andrew Younghusband performs each challenge to demonstrate that they are doable without error by an average driver. The first episode, where the contestants must drive to the Driver Rehabilitation Centre from a location an hour's drive away in the traditional first challenge, serves as a skills evaluation. Starting with the second episode, and at the end of every episode thereafter, the experts and Andrew decide on which of the remaining contestants have been sufficiently rehabilitated to be let go onto public roads. This continues until three contestants remain, where two traditional final challenges (a "mega-challenge" with elements of previous challenges, as well as a road test through public streets) determine who is named Canada's Worst Driver. Though normally one contestant leaves in every episode, the experts may, at their discretion, refuse to allow anyone to graduate, or conversely graduate more than one contestant in an episode. In extreme circumstances, the experts may also choose to expel a contestant with no intention of improving their driving skills. So far, as Season 4 has progressed, one candidate has been removed from the competition, while the panel has chosen on one occasion to not graduate anyone.This year, like the previous season, roughly half of the challenges are new to the series (though some are inspired by challenges seen in previous years), while the other half, such as the initial drive to the Driver Rehabilitation Centre, the Eye of the Needle, the Water-Tank Challenge, the Mega-Challenge, and the series-ending road test, are returning from previous seasons. However, the challenges this season are more specifically tuned for the individual contestants than in previous years, to better address driving issues specific to each contestant. For this year, a fleet of brand-new luxury cars have been commissioned for some of the challenges.Contents1 Contestants 2 Judges 3 Synopsis 3.1 Episode 1: Guilty as Charged 3.2 Episode 2: Big Manoeuvres 3.3 Episode 3: The Urge to Merge 3.4 Episode 4: Shifty Manoeuvres 3.5 Episode 5: A Turn For the Worst 3.6 Episode 6: It's All Reverse 3.7 Episode 7: Practice Makes Perfect 3.8 Episode 8: The Verdict 4 References 5 External links // ContestantsTeagan Cramer, 18, from Edmonton, Alberta, despite being an excellent skateboarder, is a young and nervous driver who tries to compensate by jerking the steering wheel back and forth (termed the "wobble").

It has a range of meanings but its primary usage is to describe labourers with little control over their employment conditions.Contents1 Spanish usage 2 English usage 2.1 Peonage 3 References 4 See also 5 Further reading // Spanish usageIn its obsolete usage in Spain itself, the word denoted a person who travelled by foot rather than on a horse (caballero). It now means a chess pawn, or a trompo (a kind of rotating toy or top).In Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries, especially those in Latin America, where the hacienda system kept laborers from leaving estates, pe has also a range of meanings related to unskilled or semi-skilled work or manual labour, whether referring to a low-status wage earner in a variety of rural and urban industries (especially a day labourer or a servant); a peasant; a bullfighter's assistant, or, historically, someone subject to forms of unfree labour.English usageThe English words peon and peonage were derived from the Spanish word, and have a variety of meanings related to the Spanish usages, as well as some other meanings. In the English-speaking world in general, the term peon is used colloquially to mean a person with little authority, often assigned unskilled or drudgerous tasks; an underling. In this sense, peon can be used in either a derogatory or self-effacing context.There are several ways in which the word is used:American English: in a historical and legal sense, peon generally only had the meaning of someone working in an unfree labour system (known as peonage). The word often implied debt bondage and/or indentured servitude. See also: Black Codes in the USASouth Asian English: a peon is usually an office boy, an attendant, or an orderly, a person kept around for odd jobs (and, historically, a policeman or foot soldier). In an unrelated South Asian sense, "peon" may also be an alternative spelling for the poon tree (genus Calophyllum) or its wood, especially when used in boat-building. Computing slang: a peon is an "unprivileged user" person without special privileges on a computer system. The opposite is a "superuser." PeonageLabour was in great need to support the expanding agriculture, mining, industrial, and public-work jobs that arose from conquerors settling in the Americas. To account for these jobs a system came about where creditors forced debtors to work for them. This system of involuntary servitude was called peonage.The origin of this form of involuntary servitude goes back to the Spanish conquest of Mexico and African American History when conquistadors forced poor Indians to work for Spanish planters and mine operators. Peonage was prevalent in Spanish America especially in the countries of Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Peru.Peonage was also common in the South of the United States after the American Civil War. Poor white farmers and African-Americans who could not afford their own land would farm another person's land. This was called sharecropping and initially the benefits were mutual. The land owner would pay for the seeds and tools in exchange for a percentage of the money earned from the crop and a portion of the crop. However, as time passed many landowners began to abuse this system. Instead of the benefits remaining mutual, the landowner would force the tenant farmer to buy seeds and tools from the land owner store which had inflated prices. Other tactics included debiting expenses against the sharecropper's profits after the crop was harvested and miscalculating the net profit from the harvest, thereby keeping the sharecropper in perpetual debt to the landowner. Since the tenant farmers could not offset the costs they were forced into involuntary labor due to the debts they owed the land owner.After the Civil War, the Thirteenth Amendment was added to the United States Constitution, which prohibited involuntary servitude such as peonage for all but convicted criminals. Congress also passed various laws to protect the constitutional rights of Southern blacks, making those who violated such rights by conspiracy, by trespass, or in disguise, guilty of an offense punishable by ten years in prison and civil disability. Unlawful use of state law to subvert rights under the Federal Constitution was made punishable by fine or a year's imprisonment. Until the 1960s, sharecroppers in Southern states were forced to continue working to pay off old debts or to pay taxes. Southern states allowed this in order to preserve sharecropping. In 1921 Georgia Farmer John S. Williams and his black overseer Clyde Manning were convicted in the deaths of 11 blacks working as peons in William's farm. Allegedly Williams was the only white farmer convicted for killing...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about exhaust fan computer, china conference system, .

Enriched Xenon Observatory

I want to introduct something about Basic Central Door Locking System. 1. Basic central door locking without actuators 2. Compatible with car original central locking 3. Fixing code (learning code for option) 4. Easy installation for original locking upda (Redirected from EXO)The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) is a particle physics experiment searching for double beta decay of Xenon-136. The experiment uses a large amount of xenon, isotopically enriched in xenon-136. This isotope is theorized to undergo ordinary double beta decay (with the emission of two neutrinos) to barium-136, though past experiments have only placed limits on the half-life.If neutrinoless double beta decay is detected for the first time, it will be definitive proof of the Majorana nature of neutrinos. EXO intends to measure the effective Majorana neutrino mass (if it exists) with a sensitivity close to 0.01 eV . The actual measurement will be the rate of events, which is equivalent to a measurement of the half-life. Currently only lower limits exist for both the 2-neutrino and neutrinoless double beta decay modes of Xenon 136. Observation of the 2-neutrino mode does not provide information about neutrinos, though it is interesting for nuclear theory. Measurement of the half-life of the neutrinoless mode can be converted to an effective neutrino mass using calculated nuclear matrix elements. If the neutrinoless mode is not seen, a lower limit can be placed on the half life, which corresponds to an upper limit on the neutrino mass.If a limit on the effective neutrino mass is placed at the 0.01 eV mass range, it answers the question of the ordering of neutrino masses. While the differences between neutrino masses is known, it is not known which neutrino is the heaviest. The effective neutrino mass is dependent on the lightest neutrino mass in such a way that a limit at the 0.01 eV level indicates the neutrino masses lie in the normal hierarchy.EXO currently consists of two facets: a 200-kilogram liquid TPC referred to as 'EXO-200' and R&D efforts into a ton-scale xenon experiment. While EXO-200 serves as a testing ground for liquid Xenon techniques, the ton-scale experiment may take a different form.Contents1 EXO-200 2 Ton Scale EXO 3 External links 4 References // EXO-200EXO-200 uses a cylindrical time projection chamber (TPC) design in order to gather information about the decay. Xenon is a scintillator, so the prompt light provides time information of the event. A large electric field is set up to drive ionization electrons to wires for their collection. The difference in time between the light and the first ionization collection determines the z coordinate of the event, while a grid of wires determines the radial and angular coordinates. Scintillation light is collected by avalanche photodiodes (APDs). EXO-200 has been designed with a goal of less than 40 events per year within two sigma of the Q value. In order to accomplish this, all materials were selected and screened based on radiopurity. Originally the vessel was to be made of teflon, but the final design of the vessel uses thin, ultra-pure copper. The relocation of EXO-200 from Stanford to WIPP began in the summer of 2007. Further assembly and commissioning is expected to continue to the end of 2008 with data taking beginning in 2009. Photos of the EXO-200 laboratory and cryostat installed underground at the WIPP site are shown here.The EXO-200 cryostat installed underground at WIPP.The EXO-200 cleanrooms installed underground at WIPP.Ton Scale EXOA ton scale experiment must overcome many backgrounds. The EXO collaboration is exploring many possibilities to do so, including barium tagging in liquid xenon. Any double beta decay event will leave behind a daughter barium ion, while backgrounds, such as radioactive impurities or neutrons, will not. Requiring a barium ion to be present at the location of the event eliminates all backgrounds. Tagging of a single ion of barium has been demonstrated and progress has been made on a method for extracting ions out of the liquid xenon. One method is using a probe that freezes a layer of xenon, containing the ion, onto its tip . Tagging of barium in gaseous xenon is also being developed.External linksEXO web site References^ "Detection of very small Neutrino Masses in double-beta decay using laser tagging " ^ Particle Data Group Review: Neutrinoless Double-beta decay ^ "A liquid xenon ionization chamber in an all-fluoropolymer vessel" ^ "Systematic study of trace radioactive impurities in candidate construction materials for EXO-200" ^ "EXO project equipment successfully placed underground at WIPP" ^ "A microfabricated sensor for thin dielectric layers" Categories: Particle experiments(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about network dvr system, DVD Storage System, .

Please improve this article or discuss the issue on the talk page.Mrs. Bill Stagg of Pie Town, New Mexico with her patchwork and embroidery quilt that displays all the United States state flowers and birds, October 1940.Quilting (stitching together layers of padding and fabric) is as old as ancient Egypt if not older and whole cloth quilts were very common trade goods in wealthy circles in Europe and Asia going back as far as the 15th century.The earliest surviving quilt is from approximately the first century BC to the second century AD. It was found in a Mongolian cave and is a quilted linen carpet. It is housed in the Saint Petersburg department of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Archaeology Section.Piecing fabric together is also very old. It was more often used for clothing but also occasionally for decorative objects like this exquisite pieced pillow from the 15th century.The making of pieced quilts made up of cut pieces of fabric sewn in block form with the blocks then sewn together to make the quilt is a more recent development. Pieced block quilts, often called patchwork quilt, did not become the dominant form of quilt making until the mid-19th century, and still is not the traditional form in Provence, Wales, and parts of India.In this article "piecing" refers to the sewing together of fabric to create the quilt top. "Quilting" refers to stitching the three layers of fabric together; the quilt top, batting (also called wadding) in the center, and the fabric backing.Contents1 Quilting at the dawn of the nineteenth century 1.1 Whole cloth quilt 1.2 Broderie perse quilts 1.3 Medallion quilts 2 Changes in quiltmaking during the mid nineteenth century 3 Quilting for the cause in the United States during the Civil War era 3.1 The movement to free the slaves and the role of quilts 3.2 Quilts to warm the soldiers and quilts to raise money for the war 4 Quilting During the last decades of the 19th century, the Victorian Era 4.1 The Crazy Quilting Fad 4.2 Traditional Quilts Were Still Made 5 Notes 6 Sources and further reading 6.1 Books 6.2 Articles 6.3 External links // Quilting at the dawn of the nineteenth centuryQuilt making was uncommon in America in the late eighteenth century and early years of the nineteenth. Most women were busy spinning, weaving and sewing in order to clothe their family. Commercial blankets or woven coverlets were a more economical bedcovering for most people. Only the wealthy had the leisure time for quilt making so Colonial quilting was done by only a few.Obviously quilts were not made of left over scraps or worn clothing as a humble bedcovering during this period. Instead they were decorative items that displayed the fine needlework of the maker.Whole cloth quilts, broderie perse and medallion quilts were the styles of quilts made during the early 1800s.Whole cloth quiltQuilts made of a solid piece of fabric are referred to as Whole Cloth Quilts. The three layers of top, batting and backing were quilted together. The quilting itself became the decoration.Both wool and cotton solid color quilts and white quilts were made during this period. The white ones are sometimes called "whitework".A few were made with a simple overall quilting design but many were works of art with beautiful quilting including feathers, flowers and other natural motifs. Some were made even more exquisite by a method called trapunto. Trapunto is the technique of slipping extra stuffing into certain areas of a quilt to bring out the quilting in that area. For example trapunto can make the area inside a feather or flower making that part of the quilt a little thicker. Women were proud of fine and even quilt stitches in these quiltsBroderie perse quiltsBroderie perse refers to the applique of cut out motifs from printed fabric onto a solid background. This form of quilt making has been done since the 18th century. The popular printed fabric during this period was chintz imported from India.Printed fabric was expensive even for those who were well off. By cutting out birds, flowers and other motifs from printed fabric and sewing them onto a large homespun cloth a beautiful bedspread could be made. The technique was also used on some early medallion quilts as in the example linked below.Broderie Perse bedcoverings were usually used on the best bed or sometimes only when guests were staying in the home.Medallion quiltsMedallion quilts are made around a center. The center was sometimes a solid piece of large scale fabric like a toile or a Tree of Life, an appliqued motif or a large pieced star or other pieced pattern.

This is in effect on weekdays from 6:30 p.m. to the end of the service day, and all day Saturday, Sunday, and holidays.Fare classesThere are two classes of fares on TransLink: adult and concession. Concession fares are less expensive than the adult fare. They are available for children (ages 5 to 13), secondary students (ages 14 to 19, with a TransLink GoCard), seniors (ages 65 and up), and disabled patrons (with a valid HandyCard). Children four years old and younger ride free when accompanied by an adult.A GoCard is a TransLink ID used by high school students in Metro Vancouver to travel on TransLink at the concession rate. Students must present this card or pay the full adult fare. GoCards are often used by high school students as ID cards until they get their drivers license. GoCards utilize the yearbook pictures taken at the high school and are often customized with the school's picture or logo. The typical GoCard includes the students' name, student number, home room number, and grade. At some schools, a bar code is also printed on the card.A GoCard. This one is for Hugh Boyd Secondary School in Richmond, circa 2003-04.A HandyCard entitles its bearer to pay the concession fare while travelling, as well as allowing an attendant to ride for free.

Vidas de Fuego

I want to introduct something about . Vidas de Fuego ("Lives of Fire") is the name of a fictional telenovela that is actually a show-within-a-show, where it is featured in the American dramedy series Ugly Betty. The series is watched by the Suarez family at home, mostly by the main character's father, Ignacio, and sister, Hilda. The telenovela takes places at the wealthy cattle ranch of the Rivera family, where the priest and maid are secret lovers and a soccer player is seduced by his privileged stepmother. Contents1 Production 2 Plot 2.1 Part 1 2.2 Part 2 2.3 Part 3 2.4 Part 4 2.5 Part 5 2.6 Part 6 3 Trivia 4 Cast 5 References 6 See also // ProductionA clip of each chapter of "Vidas de Fuego" is aired in episodes of Ugly Betty. During the clips, English subtitles are shown while the actors speak Spanish. The full chapters, which are approximately two to four minutes long, are dubbed in English on ABC's website. The first webisode debuted on ABC's website on November 24, 2006, and each consecutive episode was added every Thursday thereafter. In addition, each episode was also available via Verizon Wireless's V Cast the Thursday after it debuted on the website. The entire mini-telenovela lasted six chapters and was succeeded by "Muchas Muchachas.""Vidas de Fuego" was filmed in Mexico and starred Mexican telenovela actors. The chapters were written by Ugly Betty staff writers Veronica Becker and Sarah Kucserka. The pair also wrote episode 10, "Fake Plastic Snow".PlotPart 1The story begins with Esmeralda, a maid, and Pedro, a local priest, passionately kissing. Esmeralda suddenly slaps Pedro. The camera pans back to show Esmeralda is pregnant. She tells him she plans to give her child the name of its father -- the priest. She asks him to run away with her. Pedro wishes the world were as sweet as Esmeralda. Eva, a nun and Esmeralda's twin, enters the room suddenly, stating she wasn't aware that Esmeralda was there. Pedro states he is visiting and excuses himself. Eva points out Esmeralda's growing belly, but Esmeralda tells her the lady of the house believes she is fat and lazy. Eva states she can help if she knew who the father was. Esmeralda cries stating she cannot reveal his identity.Part 2Eva secretly enters Pedro's room and begins looking for a love letter to prove Pedro is the father of Esmeralda's baby. When she searches his desk, however, she finds a shocking newspaper clipping. In the church's confessional, Galo, a soccer player admits to Pedro that he is in love with Eva. Later, Eva confronts Pedro with the newspaper clipping, which shows he is really Ramon Castillo, a thief and murderer. Pedro says he did the crimes to help a woman. Eva believes the woman is Esmeralda, but he replies it is actually another woman.Part 3Continuing the conversation from the previous chapter, Eva demands to know the identity of the other woman. Pedro tells her it is not her business to know. She threatens to reveal his identity, but he counters by threatening to transfer her to a convent in the desert. Afterward, Galo is watching a soccer game in the living room while Esmeralda is cleaning, when his stepmother, Sofia, enters the room in a sexy bathing suit. She seductively asks him to accept her as part of the family and call her "mama". Pedro enters the living room as Sofia leaves. He gives Esmeralda an envelope of money from Eva full of money. Esmeralda accuses him of taking the money from the church coffers because her insticts tell her he's a thief. Pedro convinces her it is not true and then kisses her.Part 4Patricia, Galo's mother and the former lady of the house, arrives to pick up Galo for church. At the same time, Sofia enters the room. Patricia chides Sofia for her sinful ways, but Sofia responds by seductively revealing her bathing suit to Galo. In Eva's room, Esmeralda seeks her sister's comfort. However, she still refuses to tell Eva who the father of her baby is. Eva informs Esmeralda that she knows Pedro is the father, as well as a thief and murderer. Esmeralda refuses to believe it is true. In a hallway at the church, Patricia takes Pedro aside to talk. Meanwhile, Eva seduces Galo, and they begin kissing passionately. It is implied that they made love.Part 5Galo enters the room of the sleeping Eva, hoping for a kiss when she wakes. Eva tells him that she made a mistake. Galo confesses his love for her, but she tells him that they can't see each other any more. Galo responds that he will never see her again. Before he leaves, Eva stops him and asks for his soccer ball. Later, Esmeralda finds Pedro in the church hallway. Pedro tells her they cannot be seen together for their sake and the sake of their child. When he touches her belly, a soccer ball falls out of her dress.

A person who earns their living grooming dogs is known as a groomer.Contents1 Reasons for grooming 2 Tools used for grooming 3 Bathing 4 Hair removal 4.1 Clipping 4.2 Stripping 5 Nail trimming 6 References // Reasons for groomingGrooming is an important part of dog care. Depending on the breed, age and health of the dog, grooming may be a daily activity. Many breeds require significantly less grooming than this, but regular grooming helps to ensure the dog is healthy and comfortable. It is important to note, while many dogs shed, others such as the Poodle, do not shed (see Moult). Instead, their coat grows much like human hair, and requires trimming.The main reasons for daily grooming include:improved health of the skin and coat decreases the chance of various health problems such as thrush, scratches, and other skin problems cleans the dog allows the groomer to check the dog's health, such as looking for cuts, heat, swelling, lameness, or a change in temperament (such as depression) which could indicate the dog is sick helps to form a relationship between dog and owner Optional additional options that some dog groomers provide include services such as colouring dogs fur and painting dogs nails. They may also sell products for dogs fur and other products such as clothes.[citation needed]Tools used for groomingVarious types of currycombsCurry or Currycomb: A tool made of rubber or plastic with short "teeth." The tool is rubbed or "curried" in a circular motion to loosen dirt, hair, and other detritus, plus stimulate the skin to produce natural oils. Metal currycombs are also available, but are designed for use on show cattle.A shedding bladeShedding blade: for grooming certain types of harsh coats, a metal shedding blade with short, dull teeth is used to remove dead hair. The shedding blade is not used to cut the hair.Scissors and Clippers: used to remove hair on certain types of coats or in sensitive areas.BathingDogs can be bathed by being wet down with a garden hose using a hand-held shower head, or with water from a bucket. Oftentimes, one bath will not make a dog truly clean. A second bath if excellent to ensure the entire body has been cleaned. Many types of shampoos and conditioners formulated for dogs are available, however, using a shampoo without mixing it with water may be a little strong for a dog who's just getting a touch-up bath. If your dog isn't filthy, add half water to your shampoo to make it easier on the dog and to make sure it rinses entirely. If not rinsed completely, it may become irritating to the dog. Most dogs do not require frequent bathing: too-frequent shampooing can strip the hair coat of natural oils and cause it to dry out.Hair removalThe coats of many breeds require trimming, cutting, or other attention. Styles vary by breed and discipline. While some hair removal has its origins in practical purposes, much is based on the taste of the owner, whether or not the dog will be shown, and what work the dog does.ClippingStrippingThe coats of Border Terriers must be stripped. Here an unstripped adult Border Terrier (left) is shown with a puppy.The body of this adult Border Terrier has been stripped.Stripping or hand-stripping is the process of pulling the dead hair out of the coat of a non-shedding dog, either by using a stripping knife or the fingers. A hard, wiry coat has a cycle where it starts growing and then sheds as it reaches maximum length. Hand-stripping coordinates the shedding and makes room for a new coat to grow.Nail trimmingNail trimming is absolutely necessary for maintaining good health. If a dog's nails are allowed to grow, they will curl over into a spiral shape; walking will become increasingly painful to the dog as they grow out. Uncut nails may curl so far that they pierce the paw pad, leading to infection and debilitating pain. If one does not trim a dog's nails on a monthly basis the quick will grow along with the nail, making it nearly impossible to cut properly. Owners may choose to trim nails themselves or may opt to take their pet to a groomer or veterinarian.References^ "Hand Stripping the Wire or Broken Coated Dog". http://www.harborside.com/~laurelt/handstrip.htm.

Trestle table

It is the earliest form of table, after the basic pedestal-style table known to be used in ancient times, and was a common structure in ancient Rome, when it was made primarily of stone or marble. By the Middle Ages the trestle table was often little more than loose boards over trestle legs for ease of assembly and storage. It remained the most common form of table until the 16th century, when the basic trestle design gave way to stronger frame-based structures such as gateleg and refectory tables. Ease of assembly and storage has made it the ideal occasional table, and it remains a popular form of dining table, as those seated are not so inconvenienced as they might be with the more usual arrangement of a fixed leg at each corner.Contents1 Construction and uses 2 Trivia 3 See also 4 References 5 External links // Construction and usesIn general, modern use of the trestle table is as a utilitarian, portable work surface. Much favoured by professional decorators, it typically comprises two or more trestles often collapsible, folding or height-adjustable; similar to the woodworker's sawhorse supporting a plain, lightweight, wooden tabletop, often little more than a cheap flush panel door.A second, equally common form, often used in school dining rooms, utilises a folding-leg construction similarly valued for its portability and easy storage. In this case a basic tubular steel framework is employed, with the tabletop a combination of metal and plywood laminate.Trestle Tables are featured in Hardcore Professional Wrestling matches.Trestle tables also figure prominently in the traditional Americana style of household furnishings, usually accompanied by spindle-backed chairs. The trestles in this case are normally of much higher quality, often made of oak and braced with a stretcher beam using a keyed tenon through the centre of each trestle. These typically support a high-quality waxed oak tabletop.TriviaThe decorator's trestle table is acknowledged as the basis of the pseudonym adopted by Robert Tressell, a decorator-turned-author, for his novel The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, published in 1910.See alsoRefectory table Table (furniture) Trestle desk References^ Britannica.com/Table ^ "The Dictionary of Art", Jane Turner, Grove 1996 p.217 ^ Gordon Campbell, The Grove Encyclopedia of Decorative Arts Vol 2, Oxford University Press US (2006) p411 ^ http://www.lifetime.net.au/Hiten.htm Example of folding leg construction ^ http://www.shaker.net/html/trestle.html Examples of modern trestle table and chairs ^ http://www.oldandsold.com/articles03/hf1.shtml Americana-style trestle table External linksExample of an authentic trestle dining table requiring no tools for assembly (multiple photos).
