Technology and Design: Early Gas and Electric Lamps in Canada
By Ornam3ntumAdm1n | Feature Articles | 01 October 2013
Article by Anna Adamek and Louise Trottier
N 1887 A SMALL RIOT erupted in the Township of Hull, on the north bank of the Ottawa River, just opposite to the Chaudière Falls. A Hull hotelier, who shared her light system with a nearby building, repeatedly demonstrated to visitors the wonder of having electric illumination at her fingertips. She flicked the lights of both buildings on and off, infuriating her neighbours, who started a brawl.1 This trivial event, from the early history of electric lighting in Canada, shows that illumination was always about more than technology. In a decorative sense, lamps, both gas and electric, provided new objects and the decorative potential to express wealth, prestige, and class through the design and ornamentation of early fixtures.
Established in 1968, the light collection of the Canada Science and Technology Museum (CSTM) brings together gas, arc, incandescent and fluorescent lamps, light standards, and trade literature that reflect the aesthetic trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Art Deco, modernism, and among them the Victorian, "City Beautiful" movement, initiated at the World's Columbian Exhibition of 1893 in Chicago.
The design of lamps was influenced as much by art, architectural styles, and fashion as by economics and technical innovations. In fact, the earliest illustrations of gas luminaries come from Fredrick Accum's Practical Treatise on Gas-Light published in 1815 by Rudolph Ackermann, a well-known London art dealer. Ackermann's art library was most likely the first interior illuminated by gas lamps, thereafter sealing the connection between light fixtures and art.2
The gas lighting system was first applied to street illumination in London, England, in 1809. The technology was transferred to the North American market within the next decade. In Canada, the first gas system was installed in Montreal in 1837, followed by Toronto in 1841. Soon, gas lamps were used in Halifax (1843), Quebec City (1849), Kingston (1850), and Hamilton (1851). The gas street lights were placed around cities on high cedar posts and the burners were covered by white glass globes which required constant cleaning. The early interior gas lamps were expensive. Railway stations, hotels, ballrooms and large halls, and wealthy industrialists were among the first customers of gas lighting companies. The price of the services was based on the number of burners required by the customer. Therefore, many of the early fixtures featured only one or two gas burners. Six types of burner designs were the most common: rat-tail, cockspur, cockscomb, batwing, fishtail, and the Argand burner. The design of the first five burners— and the shape of the flames that they produced— resembled the natural animal forms indicated by the model names, while the Argand burner was round and often generously decorated with floral motifs or a neo-Gothic crown.
The CSTM collection includes some beautiful examples of early one- and two-burner gas lamps. A small, one-burner gas lamp is only 17 cm. long, and was mounted directly on a wall. This brass fixture features a rope-twist arm and one Argand burner enclosed in a metal cylinder. The cylinder is decorated with ten tiny windows finished in very fine pieces of mica. Iridescent mica must have flickered beautifully in the light produced by a gas flame. The valves and the fuel key are ornamented with the fleur-de-lis motif. Two small chains, finished with bells used to adjust the flame, add balance to the overall design. One burner made this fixture relatively inexpensive; still, although a little over-ornamented, this jewel added a touch of luxury to any interior. Ornamentation of a brass, two-burner lamp, is more discrete. The arms of this T-shaped pendant imitate a rope; two side supports are made from thin sheets of brass, twisted once in the middle. The brass is polished to reflect light. Small decorated screws, two of them enclosed in flower cups, keep various parts of the pendant in place. The end fittings are decorated with crosses and rhombi. In the early period of gas lighting there was a mistaken yet persistent perception among some buyers that light could not be produced without a wicker. Therefore, to make the customer comfortable with the new product, the design of many early gas lamps imitated the familiar look of a candle. The rat-tail burners of this pendant closely resemble two candles.
A gasolier, currently on display at the Museum, is a beautiful example of an expensive, multi-burner gas chandelier designed for a parlour, a library, or a dining room. Virtually every element of this fixture is ornamented with floral patterns, scrolls, and lace-like metal work. The gasolier, made in 1890, was designed to compete with electric fixtures that at the end of the nineteenth century were quickly gaining a share of the residential lighting market.
Electric lighting grew out of 19th-century scientific discoveries in England, France, and the United States in the production of electricity and subsequent technical innovations that promoted its transmission and distribution to an increasing number of consumers. The first innovation, the arc lamp, was the culmination of a series of experiments begun in 1847 by William Edward Staite and Rooks Evelyn Bell Crompton in England, Charles F. Brush in the United States, and Paul Jablochkoff in France. The persistence of the familiar aesthetics of a simple candle—this pre-industrial source of lighting synonymous with illumination itself— is again evident in the early experiments with electric lighting devices. For example, the first electric lamps designed by Paul Jablochkoff not only imitated the appearance of a candle, but were called electric candles. The carbon filaments in the lamp were arranged in a circular holder, similar to a simple candle holder, and were placed vertically. The opal glass globe placed on top of the candle was finished in a neo-Gothic, most often brass, coronet, which added an air of splendour to the invention. The globe also had a practical role; it diffused the light of the electric candle, which was said to be one hundred times stronger than that of a gas lamp. A Canadian inventor, J.A.I. Craig, was inspired by Jablochkoff's candles when he showcased electric lighting in Montreal in 1878, the first such demonstration in Canada. Unfortunately, there are no descriptions of any ornamentation of Craig's electric candle, yet as a prosperous furniture manufacturer, he was well aware no doubt of the latest fashions in decorative arts.
Available commercially by the end of the 1870s, arc lamps, almost exclusively used to illuminate streets, were large and imposing. The simple, dark cast iron frame was formed in the U-shape, with a light arc formed between carbons suspended in the middle of the lamp. Promoted as more secure, economical, and efficient than gas lamps, arc lamps were designed to convey the idea of a safe, reliable, and robust fixture and were often lacking in ornamentation.
Decorating the streets of Ontario around 1918, the luminaire manufactured by Powerlite Devices in Toronto was made in cast iron and porcelain, although in many Canadian cities by about 1910, the light standard with a pressed metal pole, lighter than cast iron, had been an earlier and more efficient innovation. Decorative touches inspired by a Greek column can be seen on the base, pole, and globe. The five-globe incandescent light standards drew public attention from the moment they appeared on Toronto streets. In fact, The Evening Telegram reported at the time that each of the globes had an output equal to one of "the present arc lights," and it recorded the reactions of passersby: "The street was so bright that a person could read a newspaper at any point along the street." "It's the best illuminating system I have ever seen. I tried dropping a car ticket and small coins on the pavement and looking for them. I couldn't lose them…the lights are splendid…. No women need be timid about walking along a street so well-lighted."
It would be impossible to describe in detail the many and various styles and decorative elements represented in the CSTM collection of gas, arc, and incandescent lamps in this short article: early light bulbs which showcase experiments with shape and colour; ornamental residential and street lamps; a beautiful set of lamps from the Union Station in Ottawa; as well as specialty, bicycle, miners', and signal lights. All these aspects of the decorative arts associated with the technological function of street and interior illumination reflect the early evolution and stylistic history of public and private lighting in Canada.

Q: How to determine the point at a set length along a given function (parabola)? Given a specific function, a parabola in this instance, I can calculate the length of a segment using integrals to sum infinite right angled triangles hypotenuse lengths. My question is, can I reverse the process? If this question has an obvious answer please forgive me as I have just started studying integrals. I am simply curious as to if I'm given a function, and told that a certain point is a set distance along it's length from a known point, can I find the coordinates of the point?

A: This is the problem of finding an arc-length parametrization of a curve. While this can always be done in theory and is a great tool in several proofs regarding parametric curves, it is rarely possible to find a closed form solution.
The general method is:

*

*Describe your curve by $\vec{r}(t)$, for $a \leq t \leq b$.

*Find $\vec{r}\,'(t) = \frac{d}{dt}\vec{r}(t)$

*Create the function $s(t) = \int_{a}^{t} |\vec{r}\,'(u)| \, du$, which will give you the arclength from $a \leq u \leq t$

*Once you have $s(t)$, find the inverse function $t(s)$, with something like the inverse function theorem. The inverse will always exist for an appropriate parametrization $r(t)$, since $s(t)$ can be always increasing and positive.

*Once you have $s(t)$, just use $\vec{r}(t(s))$ to get the position given the arc-length $s$.

The problem, of course, is that steps 2, 3 and 4 are generally hard to do analytically.
However, using a computer this can be done by simply making a table of arc-length $s$ per parameter $t$, and then reading it backwards, with some interpolation if necessary. So the problem is very simple numerically and, in principle, well behaved for general smooth curves. It's just the closed form part that's hard.

A: Filling in some of the unpleasant details hidden behind the Shabbeh hint.
For simplicity, let's use the "standard" parabola $y = x^2$.
The arclength $s(t)$ between the points $(0,0)$ and $(t,t^2)$ is given by
$$
s(t) = \int_0^t \sqrt{ 1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2} dx  \\
= \int_0^t \sqrt{ 1 + 4x^2} dx  \\
= \frac{1}{4}\left(2t \sqrt{ 1 + 4t^2} + \sinh^{-1}(2t)\right)
$$
To find the integral in the last step, I used Wolfram Alpha. It's much better at this sort of thing than I am. So, if you want a point at an arclength $k$ from $(0,0)$, you have to find the value of $t$ that gives $s(t) = k$. In other words, given $k$, you have to solve the equation
$$
\frac{1}{4}\left(2t \sqrt{ 1 + 4t^2} + \sinh^{-1}(2t)\right) = k
$$
This is pretty nasty, and you'll almost certainly need to use a numerical solver to do this. The good thing, though, is that $s(t)$ is a nice smooth monotonically increasing function of $t$, so even a very crude numerical solver should work quickly and reliably. For an introduction to numerical root-finding, you can start here.

The Justice administration has quietly refused to schedule a hearing on an appeal of a state authorization for the controversial Mountain Valley Pipeline. The letter was sent to the public interest environmental law firm Appalachian Mountain Advocates, which had challenged the DEP's authorization. The two-paragraph letter did not state a reason for denial.

He was also a controversial scholar, who shot to both fame and notoriety post-World War II, for his best-known work 'The Order of Things'. He was widely associated with the structuralist and post-structuralist waves in Europe and had a sturdy effect in not only philosophy but over an extensive array of socio-scientific disciplines. His works can largely be categorized as metaphysical and historical research. He hoped to comprehend the philosophies that molded an individual's present, not only in terms of antique functions but also by locating the vicissitudes in their utility through history. One of his other known multi-volume works 'The History of Sexuality' is also considered extremely important though not a major work, due to the fact that it remained unfinished. Some of his other known works include 'The Use of Pleasure' and 'The Care of the Self'. Foucault also lectured numerous times on topics pertaining to 'sexual issues' and proclaimed that it was more of a 'necessary good' albeit essential for reproduction. A sad twist in irony however, put an end to his career, after he died an untimely death from complications related to HIV. If you would like to learn more about this personality, scroll further.
Paul-Michel Foucault was the second of the three children born into an upper-middle class family, in Poitiers, France. All the three children were raised as staunch Roman Catholics.
He studied at the Lycee Henry-IV for two years before he attended regular lycee, where he stayed until 1936. At school, he excelled in Latin, History, Greek and French.
In 1940, he joined the College Saint-Stanislas, an institution run by Jesuits. He earned his 'baccalaureat' from the institute, three years later.
After he graduated, he returned to the local Lycee Henry-IV, where he studied history and philosophy for a year under Louis Girard. In 1946, he enrolled at the leading, Ecole Normale Superieure. During his time at the institute, he became an insatiable reader and was largely unpopular with his peers.
In his early years, he was extremely depressed and always distressed due to the taboos surrounding homosexual activity, which he indulged in.

In 1950, he joined the French Communist Party, but never became particularly involved in its activities. He left the party three years later.
From 1951 to 1954, he worked as a psychology instructor at the ENS and was also teaching psychology at the Universite Lille Nord de France. He was a popular lecturer with his students.
During this time, he also worked hard for his thesis as he was studying for a doctorate at the Fondation Thiers on philosophy and psychology. He would visit the Bibliotheque Nationale often and indulge in the works of Ivan Pavlov and Karl Jaspers.
In 1954, he published his first book, 'Mental Illness and Personality' and also wrote the introduction to Ludwig Binswanger's paper, 'Dream and Existence'.
In 1955, he traveled to Sweden, where he took up a job as national diplomat at the University of Uppsala. It was around this time that he also completed the first round of his thesis and he hoped that the University would accept it, but in vain. Disappointed, he left Sweden.
He went to Warsaw, Poland in October 1958, where he was made the head of the 'Centre Francais' at the University of Warsaw. During his stay in Poland, he was upset with the way the government functioned as a 'puppet regime' of the Soviet Union.
A sexual indignity forced him to leave Poland for West Germany, where he began teaching. In 1960, he took up vacant post in the department of philosophy at the University of Clermont-Ferrand.
During this time, he completed his doctoral thesis titled, 'Madness and Insanity: History of Madness in the Classical Age', which was published in 1961, which was later made into a book. The publication became a critical hit.
In 1963, he published a book dedicated to Raymond Roussel, which would be later printed in English titled, 'Death and the Labyrinth: The World of Raymond Roussel'. The same year, he published, 'The Birth of the Clinic: An Archaeology of Medical Perception'. The latter went on to gather a fad following.
From 1963 to 1964, he was chosen to be among the 'Eighteen Man Commission' that got together to debate university reorganizations. Two years later, another one of his works, 'The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences' was published. This catapulted him to fame, making him an important figure in the structuralist wave.
In 1966, he taught psychology at the University of Tunis, in Tunisia. Two years later, he moved to Paris and was chosen as the head of the philosophy department at the 'Centre Experimental de Vincennes'.
In 1969, he left Vincennes for 'College de France', where he gave his initial lecture the following year, which was subsequently published as 'The Discourse of Language'. Here, he gave 12 weekly lectures a year.
He co-founded the 'Group d'information sur les Prisons' (GIP) along with Pierre Vidal-Naquet in 1971. The group focused on divulging the poor settings that prisoners lived in and was also greatly critical of the penal system. In the next three years, the membership of the group was up from 2000 to 3000.
In 1975, he published one of his best-known works, 'Discipline and Punish', which offered an insight into the history of the system of Europe. The following year, another one of his major works was published titled, 'The History of Sexuality: The Will to Knowledge'.
Towards the end of his life, he remained an active political activist focused on opposing abuse of human rights. During the Iranian revolution, he wrote a column for an Italian publication about the same, for which he traveled personally to Iran and was one of the journalists who covered Ayatollah Khomeini's Islamist movement.
In 1980, he was a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Four years later, he published the second and third volumes of 'Histoire de la sexualite'. However, he could not complete the fourth volume of the same. He delivered his last set of lectures at the College de France, before his death.
Quotes: You, Life, I
'The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences' was first published in 1966. A critically-acclaimed publication, it was translated to English four years after its initial print and is considered one of the 'most important structuralist works'. The book became so popular that it was ranked at no. 66 in Le Monde's list of '100 books of the Century'.
Michel Foucault was a homosexual and indulged in sado-masochistic sexual activities with countless men. He also made heavy use of drugs during his lifetime.
He was extremely fond of classical music and was particularly fond of Johann Sebastian Bach and Mozart.
He remained a staunch leftist for most part of his life.
Due to his countless sexual encounters with men and transvestites, he contracted HIV, which eventually developed into AIDS. He would often visit bathhouses and was a regular in gay-circles at the San Francisco Bay Area.
He initially suffered from continuous dry cough but after he was admitted to hospital, it was diagnosed that he was suffering from AIDS. He passed away due to complications from septicemia in Paris, France.
Following his death, his deliberations and works went on to inspire a horde of critical theorists along with influencing the structuralist and post-structuralist movements.
In 2007, he was enumerated as the 'most cited scholar in the humanities' by the ISI Web of Science.

WRAL Investigates
Businessman gets prison time for Medicare fraud
A Raleigh man who federal investigators say was at the center of an operation that pocketed more than $12 million from false Medicare claims was sentenced Monday to 7½ years in prison.
Posted 3:23 p.m. Mar 2, 2010 — Updated 3:23 p.m. Mar 2, 2010
RALEIGH, N.C. — A Raleigh man who federal investigators say was at the center of an operation that pocketed more than $12.6 million from false Medicare claims was sentenced Monday to 7½ years in prison.
Kalu Kalu, who pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy to commit health care fraud and health care fraud, also was ordered to pay $4.6 million in restitution to the Medicare program.
Kalu was among four people indicted last year who federal investigators said would recruit and train salespeople to establish relationships with Medicare patients to obtain their Medicare numbers and personal information.
Investigators said Kalu used the Medicare provider number of co-defendant Martin Ifeani Iroegbu to submit bogus claims for scooters. Kalu also used his Raleigh businesses, Enuda Healthsource and Universal Medical Supplies, to bill Medicare for health care aids that were never provided to beneficiaries, authorities said.
"The Medicare system was enacted to assist retired and elderly citizens in obtaining needed health care. Unfortunately, this defendant targeted this system as an easy mark, bilking the American taxpayer out of millions of dollars," U.S. Attorney George Holding said in a statement.
As part of a plea agreement, 15 counts of health care fraud were dismissed against Kalu.
Iroegbu is serving a 26-month federal prison sentence after pleading guilty to health care fraud and aiding and abetting in the case.
Charges were dismissed against Kalu's wife, Kecia Kalu, and Nnenna K. Cornett, who operates States Medical Products LLC in Raleigh.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General reported last May that more than 10 percent of the $920 million Medicare paid in 2005 for powered wheelchairs had been misspent.
To report Medicare fraud, call the state Department of Insurance weekdays at 800-443-9354.

A Framework for Regulating Underwater Noise During Pile Driving
Title: A Framework for Regulating Underwater Noise During Pile Driving
Andersson, M.; Andersson, S.; Ahlsén, J.; Andersson, B.; Hammar, J.; Persson, L.; Pihl, J.; Sigray, P.; Wikström, A.

Andersson, M.; Andersson, S.; Ahlsén, J.; Andersson, B.; Hammar, J.; Persson, L.; Pihl, J.; Sigray, P.; Wikström, A. ( 2017 ). A Framework for Regulating Underwater Noise During Pile Driving (Report No. 6775). Report by Vindval. Report for Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Pile driving is a common technique used during the construction of bridges, offshore wind power, and underwater infrastructure or shoreline structures. It is the process by which a foundation, beam or pole is hammered or vibrated down into the bottom, which can generate extremely loud noise that propagates throughout the surrounding water and sediment. The noise can reach such high levels that marine animals are at risk of disturbance, injury or even death.
Sweden currently lacks established thresholds stating the level at which underwater noise potentially disturbs or injures marine animals. Hence, there are no guidance values for allowable underwater noise levels from noise-producing activities to avoid serious environmental impacts. Several countries in Europe have defined thresholds for when underwater noise can result in severe negative environmental impacts as well as standards for measuring, analysing and reporting underwater noise levels.
The purpose of this study is to review the scientific literature on underwater noise from pile driving and its effects on marine life. The study aims to define the noise levels that can cause injury and other negative effects and, on this basis, recommend noise levels that can be used to establish guidance values for regulating underwater noise for Swedish waters and species. The study presents examples of the factors that contribute to sound propagation in Swedish waters and how this influences the noise level from a pile strike as a function of distance at four study areas along the Swedish coast. Additionally, the study contains a thorough technical description of pile driving activities, basic underwater acoustics and noise effects on marine animals. These effects (injury and behavioral, e.g., flight, but not subtle effects) are demonstrated on representative species such as the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) and on fish larvae and eggs. The study's authors look at the original sources of information that other countries base their guidelines and thresholds on, so the recommendations follow scientifically determined levels rather than values that have been rounded off or otherwise altered.
The study presents sound levels in three different units, each with different biological relevance to the effects caused by a pile driving activity. None of the sound levels have been frequency weighted for a specific species, as this method is not yet fully established. The first unit used is the sound pressure level SPL(peak), which is the maximum overpressure or underpressure of the noise pulse generated by the pile strike. This unit has a high relevance for behavioural effects. The sound exposure level, SEL, is the calculated energy level over a period of time and expresses the energy of the entire sound pulse. SEL is the unit most related to hearing impairing effects. SEL(ss) is the value for a single strike while SEL(cum) is the cumulative value of a determined number of pulses over a period of time.
The review revealed that for Atlantic cod and Atlantic herring there are currently no studies that can be used to determine a species' specific threshold value for injury, but studies show that loud noise can affect both species negatively. Because of this, the recommended noise levels for injury are based mainly on studies on other species exposed to pile driving noise in laboratory environments, supported by studies conducting large-scale experiments in tanks and oceans. The levels at which fish are at risk of death or sustaining serious injury to internal organs is SPL(peak) 207 dB re 1 μPa, SEL(ss) 174 dB re 1 μPa2s and SEL(cum) 204 dB re 1 μPa2s. Note that for injury in fish, the cumulative sound exposure level has higher relevance than the single-strike level as the cited studies found injuries after a certain time period of exposure. The thresholds for fish larvae and eggs are based on the fact that no negative effects were observed at exposures of up to SPL(peak) 217 dB re 1 μPa, SEL(ss) 187 dB re 1 μPa2s and SEL(cum) 207 dB re 1 μPa2s. However, there are relatively few studies on early life stages of fish.
There are more species-specific studies on harbour porpoises regarding noise than there are for Atlantic cod and Atlantic herring. Nonetheless, only a few can be used to determine thresholds that will lead to injury or negative behavioural effects. The levels at which there is a risk of a temporary impact on hearing, i.e. temporary threshold shift (TTS), for the harbour porpoises is SPL(peak) 194 dB re 1 μPa, SEL(ss) 164 dB re 1 μPa2s and SEL(cum) 175 dB re 1 μPa2s. When it comes to TTS, the cumulative sound exposure level, SEL(cum), is of primary importance. However, this unit is dependent on a specific time and number of pulses. For permanent threshold shift (PTS), the level is set to SPL(peak) 200 dB re 1 μPa, SEL(ss) 179 dB re 1 μPa2s and SEL(cum) 190 dB re 1 μPa2s. The recommended level should be revised as new relevant studies are conducted.

The Prime COMPUTER Games Proper Now
June 29, 2019	Off	By tracy
Sitting in entrance of my PlayStation after an incredible recreation of racing made me assume. Nice Work done to indicate the difference between PS3 Consoles. The brand new features within the Console is superbly revealed. The one thing I was consistently fascinated with while playing the PS4 Pro game was: How would you be for those who tried it on a computer at a better frame charge? For me fighting and aiming on the keyboard and mouse has a special taste and better levels of the management of the house gaming units, but we have now to wait solely three weeks to evaluate correctly. Hideki Yasuda, senior analyst at Ace Analysis Institute, points out that the high development price for video games will make it tough for the subscription-based enterprise mannequin to work. "Sport development costs are exceptionally greater than that of music. It can take far more time to gather the return on that via subscription," he mentioned.
The easiest way to explain the cost drivers of gaming is to undergo the 5 fundamental steps of a product's price life cycle: analysis & development, design, manufacturing, advertising and marketing & distribution, and customer service. First we are going to start with analysis and improvement. This step in developing a product revolves around a single question: what can we do to add value to our products? Corporations must answer this query in a manner that not only will customers buy their products once more, but new customers will buy from them too. On this case, manufacturing managers and workers work on methods so as to add worth to video games to fulfill prospects.
Why it failed: The 32X was a colossal advertising blunder by Sega. It was conceived as an add-on for their successful Genesis console. Sega hoped that the 32X would revitalize the Genesis until the release of the Sega Saturn. Game Online For PC But, with the release of Saturn only a 12 months away, the 32X appeared pointless. Only five games had been launched as builders rapidly turned their focus to the Saturn (itself a failure compared to the Sony Psand Nintendo 64). Between the Sega CD, 32X, and Saturn, Sega flooded the market with too many incremental updates.
Set 15 years after the events of the primary Alien movie from 1979, Alien: Isolation is the suspense-stuffed game that fans of the franchise have lengthy been ready for. Taking part in the role of Amanda Ripley, daughter of Alien protagonist Ellen Ripley, your mission is to trace down and retrieve the flight recorder of the Nostromo spacecraft from the first Alien movie, which has been traced aboard the Sevastopol house station. Game Reviews Then there's Destiny 2. As rumored , Bungie's Future 2 is coming to Stadia, and it's the streaming service's flagship title in many ways. It's the one sport guaranteed to allow you to choose up the place you left off on PS4, Xbox, or LAPTOP due to new cross-save performance and the one one which's confirmed to include DLC, with the Stadia model bundling each single add-on including the model-new Shadowkeep expansion.
Medical and psychological research has proven that video games have an effect on one's physical and psychological health. Although there are some good effects of video games resembling elevated levels of focus and application, their excessive use results in aggressive behavior, antisocial conduct, and a destructive attitude. It might also result in insomnia, eye defects, and other well being problems. The articles under tell you extra on the constructive and unfavorable results that video games can have.

Discussion in 'Java' started by splashsvp, Mar 3, 2007.
I am new in java. I need to create the following applet. If someone can give me the code for this, I would really appreciate it. Pls help me out.
You have a newspaper route, delivering De Joisy Nuze to customers every day.
$1.75 per week (five days) $2.00 daily (six days) $1.00 Sunday, $2.50 Daily and Sunday (seven days).
Daily papers (partial weeks before or after vacations) are 35 cents per day.
You know your customers by first and last names, so you do not need addresses.
Write a Fully Dressed Use Case to plan your Web site.
Design a Java applet to allow your customers to order newspapers and sort them by family name. Be as creative as you can in the time allowed. I prefer that you allow them to change orders already entered. Customers should also be able to stop their papers temporarily when they are on vacation. Your list should show what days each family gets and the total weekly price.

In 2013, EASF awarded its first organizational grant, to the Education and Social Empowerment Program.
EaSEP, a Kenyan NGO based in Nandi Hills and founded by Kenyatta University professors Lillian and Mike Boit, has placed 65 students at American universities since 2009, including Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, Brown, Penn, Dartmouth, MIT, Columbia, Duke, MIT, Cal and Northwestern. Each year, EaSEP selects a small group of outstanding students from low-income settings and provides them with five months of intensive tutoring for the SAT and TOEFL exams, pays their exam fees and gives extensive support in selecting the American universities to which they will apply. EASF pays for airline tickets for American tutors and registration fees for the TOEFL, SAT and SAT Subject Tests. With a budget of approximately $225,000 over nine years, EaSEP has helped leverage scholarships valued at close to $16.5 million.
With EASF as its major donor the past five years, EaSEP helped 41 students earn $10.25 million in scholarships. Fourteen of those students have been awarded scholarships which recognize their global leadership potential, including the King Leadership Scholarship at Dartmouth, the World Scholars Program at Penn, the Kluge Scholarship at Columbia, the King-Morgridge Scholarship at Wisconsin-Madison, and MasterCard Scholar Programs at Wellesley, Michigan State, Cal and Duke.
EASF gives annual financial support to the SHE CAN (Supporting Her Education Changes a Nation) which helps post-conflict Rwandan women access higher education in the US. The program has placed 28 Rwandans at US schools and matched each with an American mentor. EASF also donates to TanSAO (Tanzania Student Achievement Organization) a resource center in Dar es Salaam for students wishing to attend worldwide universities, and to CIYOTA (COBURWAS International Youth Organization to Transform Africa) in Uganda for its work in educating youth from refugee camps as well as impoverished local students. In 2017, EASF added Bridge to Rwanda, a program which has placed 165 students from Rwanda and Burundi at international universities. Tujenge Scholars Program in Burundi was added in 2018.
Like EASF, these five nonprofit organizations are members of the HALI Access Network for high-achieving, low-income African students.
