Discussion in 'Buying Tips and Advice' started by jasony0423, Jun 25, 2009.
LIke the title says, I'm buying a new laptop, and after a crappy experience with my HP laptop, I'm going to switch over to a Macbook. My only problem is I'm not a computer geek, so I have no clue what I'm doing. True computer geeks won't be offended by the title, I don't think. It's not meant to offend.
I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers.
I'm starting back to college to get my masters.
I will use the laptop for frequent internet access.
I will NOT be playing computer games on it, with the exception of maybe an online scrabble game with my sister, or somthing... Nothing too intense.
I frequently take and upload pics to photobucket.
I frequently download the same pics to my computer.
I don't want to overkill, and get way more computer than I need, but at the same time, I don't want to go too low, and be disappointed. Can someone take my needs list, and translate that to English for me.
get the low end 13 in macbook pro.
And the build quality of that machine is excellent too.
You may want to consider getting one of the optional larger hard drives. It's amazing how fast photographs can fill up a hard drive. Of course, you can always add an external drive later on, but I find sticking with the internal drive more convenient.
I recently returned to grad school and I ended up buying a MacPro desktop. I also wanted to do some music recording, but I realized this was much more than I needed. My basic aim was "buy the best thing I can". Well I kind of regretted my initial purchase; and now I have a better idea of my next purchase (after I graduate). So hopefully I can be of some help.
What area are you in? I'm in the humanities and I do a lot of essay writing. I also download a lot of research articles from the net. I also use applications such as Sente and Devonthink while doing my essays. If you are in a similar field or if you are going to use different applications simultaneously, a large monitor or multiple monitors is a must (I've gotten used to working with two large monitors and I don't think I can ever work for a long period on a small screen now even for a simple essay).
1) MBP plus an external monitor.
2) Seriously consider the Mac Mini (it is always under appreciated) if you don't anticipate carrying your computer around (I do all my work at home). If you already have a usb monitor and keyboard, then you are good to go. The macmini is also very portable, as long as the place you go to has a monitor and keyboard.
3) 20 or 24 inch iMac (they look so good).
***Always, always get an external back-up drive. They are very affordable now.
Most people? Where are your statistics on this? Or is this some sort of vague assummption? Portability is a personal preference. Most of us who enjoy the portability of having a MBP, MB, or MBA do so because it suits our needs. It is definately not a must for all users, but for many it is a feature that comes in handy.
OP, you could suffice on the 13"MBP. And is screen real estate is a must, go bigger, or get a cheap external display to use while at home.
Thanks for the advice. Looks like a 13" MBP is the one to go with, then. I was considering the MBP, anyway, but in 15", just because it seemed like a pretty decent, middle of the road one. It should be fine in its stock configuration, then, or would a larger hard drive be better? One person said yes, nobody else mentioned any options or upgrades to the MBP. If the stock version for $1199 PLUS a free ipod touch will work, then I think I'm getting a pretty decent deal, and I"ll have my little sisters Christmas gift taken care of, too.
I'm going for my mba, so not a whole lot of artsy-type stuff, really.
If you plan on storing a good deal of data, go for a larger hard drive (at least 250gb). You don't really seem to need an SSD at all, so a mechanical drive is ok. Also, if you get the $1199 ($1099 with edu discount), upgrade the RAM to 4gb for now, but buy it from crucial.com because it is good quality, comes with a lifetime warranty, and its $35 or more cheaper than buying direct from Apple. The only downside is that you have to read the manual and put it in yourself, which would require a Philips head screwdriver and about 15-20 minutes of time, as well as a safe place to store the memory that came with it.
I'd echo almost all of the other posters in recommending that the lower end 13" MBP ill probably best meet your needs and in suggesting that you make certain that you have plenty of memory, as images eat memory.
Alright, it looks like I'll get the 13" MBP then. Would installing memory on my own void the Apple warranty? Nevermind, I'm sure I can search google and figure that much out on my own.
The only other question I have pertains to where I should get it. There's an Apple store here in Columbus, but I've heard that it's staffed by holier than thou types, and, well... I don't like people like that. Should I get it at the store, anyway, or is online a better option?
Just wanted to post that I'm back. I bought the 15" Macbook Pro. I went to Apple and tried the 13, 15 and 17" out, and the 15" just seemed like the best fit for me.
Enjoy , I love my 15 MBP.
To OP, good choice on the 15", you'll love it!

#DnDSelfie is a hashtag used to a catalogue selfies of fans of the fantasy role-playing board game Dungeons and Dragons. The trend was started following a Saturday Night Live sketch that characterized fans of the games as stereotypical “nerds,” and the photos are used to refute this representation.
Following the post, Twitter user @nicterhorst tweeted a selfie with the caption, “Seeing that SNL D&D skit was painful so let’s post some 🔥 selfies to remind folks that D&D doesn’t look like pocket protector clad nerds from the 80s. We’re out here being nerds now and our brand of socially awkward is frankly much more entertaining (bonus points for dice pics).” They continued the thread, “I’m bad at being pithy, so in lieu of a hashtag please feel free to start a thread of selfies and your fav dice because I live for both anyway. Get in here with #DnDSelfie let’s GO.” The initial post received more than 690 retweets and 2,000 likes in 24 hours (shown below).
Following the post, others began sharing selfies of themselves, highlighting their enjoyment of the game. These pictures, for the most part, featured images of the players and elements from the game, such as dice (shown below).
That day, Twitter published a Moments page on the hashtag.

7 May 2008—What should have been a routine return from the International Space Station (ISS) on 19 April 2008 quickly turned into a heart-stopping drama for ground controllers and the three astronauts aboard a Soyuz TMA-11. The craft had disappeared during the descent and was then found on a scorched steppe some 400 kilometers from where it was supposed to land. Now the incident is a technological puzzle to space engineers and a potential political challenge to the international partnership behind the ISS.
Although the technical investigation will take weeks to resolve, NASA and Russian engineers have come to several credible preliminary conclusions. And internal NASA documents, such as ”15S Ballistic Entry Outbrief” by George Kafka, chief of the Safety & Mission Assurance Directorate for the ISS program, reveal a plausible idea of what probably happened.
During the landing, space officials at mission control in Moscow and at the recovery site seriously worried for at least half an hour—and some even believed, briefly, that the crew had been killed. The landing seemed to be a replay of a near disaster from almost 40 years ago, and it threatened to have the first Russian in-flight fatalities since 1971.
Although the officials’ worries soon turned out to be ill-founded, an examination of the craft’s flight path indicates that catastrophe had not been far off. Total disaster was avoided not by any real-time actions of the crew or ground teams but instead by the ingenious design and robust construction of the spacecraft.
The Russian Soyuz vehicle has made about 100 manned orbital flights since 1967. Like the U.S. Apollo spacecraft and the future Orion capsule, it consists of a crew cabin and a rear-mounted equipment module containing its propulsion system. But unlike those craft, it also includes a forward-mounted habitation cabin. When returning to Earth, all these spacecraft perform a de-orbit rocket burn, cutting about 125 meters per second off their 8000 m/s orbital velocity. They then jettison their attached modules and turn their heat shields into the wind. The atmosphere slows the vehicle—it loses most of its speed in a matter of minutes as it decelerates to three to four times the normal acceleration due to gravity (which is 9.8 m/s2). When the craft is low and moving slowly enough, it deploys parachutes for a soft surface touchdown that is cushioned by a brief braking rocket burst.
But this time, something seems to have gone wrong with the mechanical separation of the Soyuz from its aft equipment module. Separation is supposed to occur 32 minutes after the de-orbit burn, as the craft is descending toward the sensible atmosphere, a point 100 km up where aerodynamic effects start to matter. Something in the pyrobolts or cable cutters malfunctioned, and the crew felt the cabin shuddering as it was jerked around by a partly loose massive equipment module.
The details of a Soyuz.
The still-linked modules entered the sensible atmosphere but at the wrong orientation. Air drag would have turned the ship like a shuttlecock, directing its lightly shielded nose (with the precious parachutes) into the onrushing plasma. Several minutes of this thermal stress would have been enough to breach the hull and possibly destroy the vehicle.
But at some point, the aft section did tear free, probably because of the mounting aerodynamic torques and heating. This may have been no mere lucky break. Russia suffered a series of near disasters early in its program, including Yuri Gagarin's first mission in 1961 and a chillingly similar Soyuz nosedive in January 1969. So Russian engineers apparently modified module-to-module connectors to tear loose, if needed, under such entry stresses, even if the separation system fails entirely. If that modification was indeed made-which is unknown outside of Russian space circles-this may have been the first time this fail-safe system was flight-tested.
As the conjoined modules entered the atmosphere, voice communication with the ground was badly garbled, perhaps by the spacecraft turning out of its planned orientation, thus pointing its primary antennas away from ground receivers. However, according to secondhand reports from NASA flight controllers then on duty, some telemetry status indicators and snatches of voice communications did get through before all contact was lost. That was enough to tell controllers that a major malfunction had occurred with the separation sequence.
Nothing was subsequently heard from the crew or any of the spacecraft radio beacons for an hour, and nothing showed up on ground radar. The main fleet of recovery helicopters hovering over the planned landing area was first directed eastward to respond to an overshoot, then turned around and ordered westward toward a short landing. And when a rescue helicopter crew stationed in a contingency landing zone 400 km to the west first spotted signs of the lost craft, they saw a wide grass fire on the steppe, right next to gouged earth, and the landed vehicle nearby with no signs of a deployed parachute. Local herdsmen were milling around the downed vehicle, but there were no signs of the three crew members. Rescuers feared the worst.
Soyuz craft decelerates, then separates into three pieces. The center module, containing the crew reorients to enter the atmosphere. The other pieces burn up during the descent. On 19 April, the rear of the craft failed to fully separate from the crew module. The combined craft entered the atmosphere and remained joined up for an unknown amount of time, possibly exposing the wrong side of the crew module to the onrushing air.
Then the crew commander phoned home (all spacecraft communications systems had failed) by using a reserve satellite phone installed for just such an emergency. All the crew members were fine, he reported, and were awaiting the recovery helicopters. The herdsmen had quickly arrived and eagerly helped the crew out of the singed, sideways-leaning cabin. The unofficial rescuers had lain the three exhausted, weakened fliers in the shade of the spacecraft and had gone back inside to retrieve the satellite phone for them.
Despite widespread reports of massive charring and melting to the Soyuz TMA-11 exterior, inspection of photographs and reports from inside the Russian space program indicate otherwise. Comparison with detailed photographs of earlier missions suggests that the scorching was within normal ranges.
However, a suggestive detail in the postlanding photography, a thruster mounting with jagged gaps alongside it, indicates that an attitude thruster burned through. Such damage would have reduced or even entirely eliminated the crew's ability to point the crew module during descent. The thruster could have been lost as a consequence of a vain attempt to steer the much-heavier-than-expected combined vehicle through the initial buffeting.
Where the craft landed and why is the subject of intense investigation. Perhaps as a consequence of the modules failing to separate on time, the craft's autopilot then concluded that a normal entry was not feasible and switched to a simpler-but more stressful-trajectory. The baseline descent rolls the entry module in a way that offsets its center of mass to create a small lift force. This keeps the shallowly descending vehicle higher in thinner air, limiting the deceleration forces to 3 to 4 g's. The maneuver also helps steer the path toward a desired landing region.
If the normal shallow descent isn't possible, the autopilot performs what is called a ballistic, or nonlifting, entry, falling more quickly into thicker air and consequently enduring as much as twice the peak deceleration. Some reports say the Soyuz hit 11 g's for a few seconds, and one of the Soyuz astronauts, Peggy Whitson, recalls at one point seeing 8.4 on the craft's g-meter. But again, the full story will come only after reading the cockpit data recorders. The steeper entry brings the spacecraft down far short of the nominal aim point, and about 2 minutes earlier.
Reports from the crew bring up other issues that will require investigation. They reported smoke in the cabin during the later descent, after the parachute had deployed. This occurred after a pressure equalization valve had been opened to vent to outside air-and could have sucked in smells of external scorching. An alternate theory is that the smoke was from a landing display screen that was powering up during the descent.
Normally, with the Soyuz crew module oriented correctly, it performs a controlled descent that is kept to 4 to 5 g ’s by an amount of lift generated by the craft’s aerodynamics. On 19 April 2008, with the crew module oriented incorrectly, it made a much steeper descent at 8 to 9 g ’s, landing some 400 kilometers off target and 2 minutes early.
In addition, Yi So-yeon, the South Korean flight participant, reported in interviews in Seoul that the final ground impact was not vertical but sideways, causing many heavy baggage items to break free from restraints and hit her.
The ground fire also remains unexplained. Although NASA officials initially claimed it was merely a coincidence (local herdsmen were burning off stubble, they say), other accounts-and the placement of the Soyuz near the upwind vertex of the burned area-suggest that the landing caused it. Station program director Michael Suffredini, who was present in the landing zone, recalled seeing scattered grass fires as his helicopter rushed to the landing point. But at a 30 April press conference, he told reporters that he now believes that the fires nearest the Soyuz were indeed somehow caused by the landing.
The fire could have been started by the main heat shield, which was jettisoned several kilometers up to expose the soft-landing engines. But other sources of ignition include the engines themselves, the separation pyros on the parachute lines, or even flammable chemicals leaking from the cabin. The fire was close enough to quickly consume the craft's own parachute. But photographs show it did not burn the grass around the nose of the spacecraft.
The investigation board is faced with explaining this landing and with comparing it to earlier problems, including hauntingly similar anomalies on a previous Soyuz landing last October. Of immediate concern is the question of whether the Soyuz currently attached to the station--and its new crew of Sergei Volkov, Oleg Kononenko, and Garrett Reisman--is in danger.
After decades of service, it's hard to imagine that the Soyuz has a design flaw of any significance, so the issue here may instead be fabrication quality. This is a frightening possibility, since the Soyuz manufacturer, the Energia Korolev Rocket and Space Corp., in Moscow, has had to double its Soyuz production rate in preparation for the increase of the space station crew from three to six people next year. This extra workload is being borne by an aging workforce.
The political implications of the problem are also profound, since NASA's current plans are to ground the shuttle fleet in 2010 and then buy tickets on Soyuz missions to the space station until the new-generation Orion spacecraft becomes available around 2015. All of these plans are now open to debate, right in the middle of a U.S. presidential election campaign.
JAMES OBERG, a 22-year veteran of NASA mission control, is now a writer and consultant in Houston. His October 2007 article for IEEE Spectrum Online used internal NASA documents to explain the origins of the International Space Station’s June 2007 computer crisis.

This is our neighborhood church. Built, I’m guessing, in the 1500s.
WE USUALLY don’t answer the doorbell because it’s often passing kids goofing around or someone selling something we don’t want. And it’s almost a two-block round trip from inside the house to the front gate and back. That more than anything.
I come from country people who were never anything but Baptists or Methodists that I know of.
In spite of that, I was deposited in a Catholic school for kindergarten and First Grade in Albany, Georgia, about 10,000 years ago. My mother did it because it had the best reputation in town, education-wise.
My sister was sentenced there too. My sister had imagination, however, or maybe it was just childish ignorance. She came home one day and announced that she’d changed the Holy Water, freshened it up with stuff from the tap.
Neither the priest nor the nuns ever noticed, which tells me that Holy Water’s fame is overstated somewhat.
My mother, before enrolling me, made the nuns promise they wouldn’t try to turn me into a Catholic, and they did so promise because, one imagines, our money looked green.
However, one day I came home with the report that, after having misbehaved in some way, I was made to kneel on rice before a painting of the Virgin and beg forgiveness.
Mother took me out of the school at that point, and I left Catholicism forever if you don’t count that my second ex-wife is a recovering Catholic, and Mexico is full of Catholics.
My child bride does not seem to be a Catholic, but the environment rubs off. Her father was an atheist and her evil stepmother, after father died too young, became a Jehovah’s Witness, one of those pests at your front door.
As I was saying, we rarely respond to the doorbell here at the Hacienda unless we are expecting someone.
But my child bride was toiling in her pastry workshop the other day when the doorbell rang — it rings both out there and here in the house — and since there was little walking involved, she opened the little speakeasy portal in the steel gate.
Two ladies were there, and they were not pesky Jehovah’s Witnesses, but Catholics on a collecting mission.
You see our neighborhood church up top? It is very old, and it’s in bad condition. We were informed that City Hall has agreed to chip in a percentage for a much-needed restoration, but residents here in our poor barrio have to pony up too.
We were being asked to pony up, so we ponied.
We learned that the amount one is asked to contribute is based on how well-off you look. In our hardscrabble neighborhood, we look quite well-off, so we were asked for 1,000 pesos.
We paid for the sake of architecture.
I think the Vatican should pay for the entire restoration, but it doesn’t seem that Headquarters pays us much mind.
I hope enough money is raised because I like the church. I see it every weekday morning during our exercise walk. I’ve rarely been inside, but I hear singing at times, and I see funerals and weddings there. All part of the tapestry hereabouts.
I wish we had a “no soliciting” sign on our phones as we have on our doorbell. There have been at least ten calls today from a fake phone number telling us our house has been selected to be outfitted with solar panels. We didn’t answer but I was able to look up the phone number on the computer and read comments by others about the scam. Then there are the East Indians calling to say they’ve been electronically informed we have a problem with our computer and if they can have permission from us to let them have access, they can fix it. That one has gotten many superannuated persons in the US. Luckily we are engaged electronically enough to know ahead of time about these scamps.
Carole: One of the many fine advantages of living in Mexico is that I have not received one junk phone call since I moved here lo these many years ago. Not one. Appears to be an above-the-border phenomenon. And I never win the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes either.
We got a series of wrong numbers calls lately. After repeated calls, I was able to block them on my phone.
Don Cuevas: If you’re talking about a cell phone, there are call-block apps. I have one on mine, and it works great, blocks both calls and messages. If you’re talking about a landline, why on earth does anybody have landlines anymore?
We have a landline and it’s unlisted so virtually no solicitations. It’s about the only thing that’s gone down in price…being unlisted. And I can be understood rather than sound like a parrot being choked as is the case with most cellphones. I see the many zombies walking in the middle of the sidewalk oblivious to everything but their device. I don’t want to be one of those people. The sun is out and the birds are chirping. Life is good and we’re going to the Yucatan for a month in 3 days !
Brent: True, the sound is better with a landland. As for walking out and about, staring at your cell phone, oblivious to the world around you, that’s a personal choice. I don’t do it. I have a smallish Sony Xperia, which I use almost totally for calls and text messages, 95 percent of which go to my wife. About the only exception is that I can check my bank account with an app, but I don’t do that on public WiFi, only at home. And I use a call blocker app too. Very sweet, that one. The Sony is my first smartphone, which I bought only about two years ago “preowned” via MercadoLibre for 1,000 pesos, about 50 bucks at the time. I came late to the smartphone world, and I did it mostly because my previous cell, a dumbphone, had such poor sound quality.
So much of Western civilization has gotten silly and stupid that at times I understand ISIS and their opinion of us. Cannot support their methods, however.
Month in Yucatan, eh? You’re gonna sweat your keister off, but have fun.
You know, for a while I had a MoviStar cell phone in Mexico and they called me every single day for a while trying to sell me something. After realizing that speaking to them in English didn’t put them off one little bit, I finally told them in Spanish to take me off their list. Blessedly that worked.
But don’t imagine that telemarketing hell doesn’t exist SOB.
PS and this doesn’t even mention all those folks calling from behind prison bars with the kidnapping scams.
Another reason not to have a landline.
Kim: Doesn’t exist for me at all. Well, if you don’t count my bank often calling to tell me my loan has been pre-approved. Other than that, nada. Must be my clean living.
Give to the needy, it’s good karma. Besides, you don’t need nor will you miss the money, but keep it reasonable.
Carlos: I’m not sure chipping in to renovate the church classifies as giving to the needy. I do think the Vatican should be involved in this sort of stuff. It is, after all, their outpost.
Once here, about eight or so years ago, I was sitting at a sidewalk table downtown when a couple of nuns passed by, asking for money for something or other. I suggested to them that they should ask the Vatican. They were not amused. Made perfect sense to me. Still does.
I thought I had explored most of Patz but I don’t remember that church and we usually go in all that we see. Next time.
Replying to myself. I scratched my head in that copper town near you (Cobre etc) where there are 2 or 3 nice churches on the same small square. I wondered how they convinced the higher ups to fund that.
Steve: The Spanish in the old days thought you could never have too many churches. We have a number downtown here that are spitting distance from each other.
Steve: My hardscrabble neighborhood is the first thing you get to as you arrive from the state capital. It long was a separate village, but now we’ve been eaten up by our larger neighbor. Due to our once being a separate village we have a big plaza and the obligatory church to go with it.
Sometimes the needy are those needing more than money …. that might include the Vatican … but then, we all get to make our choices …. it’s just that some of us have the good fortune to not starve while we do it …. keep ’em coming Don Felipe….
Ricardo: I will keep ’em coming. I think. And certainly the Vatican needs no more money. It’s already rolling in it.
As of this morning, a thousand pesos seems to be $53.25. You are rather generous.
I haven’t paid tithing to my church since I was 16. I think they are keeping track of that. I told my wife that when I die, as I lay in the coffin, to put a check in my hand for everything I owe. I will give it to God when I see him.
Señor Gill: A thousand pesos was the “suggested” amount for us. I could have paid less, but I want the church renovated. I can afford it, so I paid it. Were it left to my child bride, it would not have been paid.
I am with your wife. Let those that attend the church pay up. If they cannot afford it, then pray harder. The government has no business putting public money into a church.
Señor Gill: Unlike up there, down here the concept of separation of church and state is an alien notion. But you know that.
Anyway, my contribution was an architectural gift, not religious.
PS: About eight years back, we were asked to chip in on a much-needed bridge across a gully down the street. It would have immensely assisted driving in the direction of the state capital. I gave 200 pesos. The work got started but never finished. My wife has cast a suspicious eye on such requests ever since. That in spite of some other projects we’ve contributed to that did get done. She can’t let go of the bridge thing though. It sticks in her craw.
Your neighborhood church is lovely. I’m glad you chipped in. But if they are only asking you for $1,000 MN, then one has to wonder how tiny a budget they’re going to be working with. Even with local labor rates it seems they won’t be able to do much. Let’s hope they don’t plan to repaint it. The current patina is nothing short of amazing.
Where all the churches are modern and boring.
Kim: City Hall is weighing in with cash too. I don’t know how much. The interior of the church is in dire need, especially the ceiling, which is about to fall down, or so it looks. As for the exterior, it is nice, and was repainted only about five or six years ago.

Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Germany.
Potent adenosine receptor (AR) agonists and antagonists with high selectivity for the A1AR subtype have been developed during the past decades. However, some of the compounds considered to be selective may not be as selective in humans as in rats, and may not be very selective versus the new AR subtypes A3 or A2B. Partial agonists have been developed that may exhibit fewer side effects than full agonists. Low water solubility of many A1 antagonists remains a problem. A1 AR antagonists can be classified as neutral antagonists or inverse agonists; the pharmacological consequences of inverse agonism versus neutral antagonism will have to be the subject of future investigations. Some medicinal plants (e.g. Hypericum perforatum and Valeriana officinalis) contain compounds that are antagonists or partial agonists at A1 ARs; effects on ARs may contribute to their pharmacological activity. 18F- and 11C-labeled A1 AR antagonists have been developed for positron emission tomography studies.

Nature's best kept secret for reducing stress and fighting pain.
Wakaya is proud to offer CIBI GOLD CBD Oil. Derived from US grown hemp, our CBD is a rich source of pure cannabinoids to naturally support your health.
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a compound found in cannabis plants and has been used medicinally for centuries.
Today, scientific and medical research of CBD is helping to bring to light its effectiveness in helping with pain and mood. In 2003, the United States government patented the first CBD based patent and in 2017, the first steps were taken for the FDA to approve CBD for medical uses.
Today, CBD is legal in all 50 States and has been shown to help reduce stress, relieve pain, promote sleep, and encourage a more balanced mood.
Hemp, a type of cannabis plant, has been grown in US for many years and is used in many ways including paper, clothing, construction, as well as skincare and healthcare products. CBD is derived from hemp and provides many health related benefits.
Marijuana is a different type of cannabis plant that contains THC–which is known to affect the mind by creating a psychoactive response or "high".
CIBI GOLD is 100% Hemp Oil and is lab tested at 0% THC.
Hemp oil is a rich source of natural cannabinoids which can interact with receptors in the body to provide many benefits. New research on CBD indicates that it is a natural and effective way to help balance the body*.
Cannabinoids can bind to specific neurotransmitters in the body involved in regulating pain and immune system response. Studies have shown that CBD may help reduce pain and inflammation.
Cannabinoids may help balance mood and lower anxiety. Current studies indicate that CBD may have a positive impact on the brain's receptors and neurotransmitters that regulate mood.
CBD is known to promote rest and relaxation naturally.
CIBI GOLD products contain a unique CBD isolate from US organic hemp grown in chemical and pesticide free farms. Every batch of CBD isolate is tested using third party labs and ensures between 96% - 99.9% of pure cannabidiol, rather than the significantly lesser amounts you get from most other CBD products sold today.
Made from the highest quality natural hemp CBD extract, CIBI GOLD Drops can be taken sublingually to help ease anxiety, boost mood, and promote wellness.
The power of CIBI GOLD CBD in a rich luxurious cream. CIBI GOLD Cream helps to relax your joints and muscles while it's unique blend of all-natural essential oils moisturize and nourish your skin.
Less pain = more happiness. CIBI Pain Relief blend uses our powerful CIBI GOLD CBD extract with a proprietary blend of essential oils to help relieve pain and promote wellness.
Feeling stressed out? CIBI Stress Relief blend includes our potent CIBI GOLD CBD extract in addition to proprietary blend of high impact essential oils known to promote a sense of wellbeing.
Looking for a little R&R? CIBI Relaxation and Sleep blend uses our potent CIBI GOLD CBD extract with a proprietary blend of essential oils to help you relax during the day and to promote a full night of restful sleep.
"CBD has helped my pain during menstruation. I suffer back aches and cramping that range from 4-5 on the pain scale. I can say that the Cibi Gold helps my pain levels and it has also helped me get a good night sleep. I used the pain relief and the cream to massage my feet and lower back. I also do a dropper under my tongue and it doesn't take long for me to feel relieved and to fall asleep."
"I am an insomniac and with the CBD drops I do them just before bed and sleep like a baby! Better than melatonin or anything else I have tried. Best sleep ever. My daughter is a college senior who is cheering, studying, and applying for Med schools. She had high anxiety and stomach problems. Daily dose of CIBI Gold and she feels less stressed, calm, more focused and has no anxiety. Her stomach gets relief from drops as well!"
Did you know that CBD products are one of the top health trends today? With updated regulation, you can participate in an exciting opportunity to bring CIBI GOLD's potent health benefits to the world!

If you are the one who need simple Role based access control without the long RBAC process then this article is just for you. Lets jump to the point.
When you add users you can assign them different roles like 'Admin' / 'user' / 'staff' etc etc.
On your UserIdentity.php file write something like..
You are just adding user roles to their session.
Now, make a Utils.php file under protected/components directory and implement a simple Role check function based on how many roles you have.
Here I just protect my AdminController.php from other roles than Admin. Basically from AdminController.php file accessRules() function it checks the users Roles written in Utils.php file.
Thanksneed simple Role based access control without the long RBAC process then this article is just for you. Lets jump to the point.
It adds user roles to their session.
You can fetch the role of the current user with `Yii::app()->user->getState('roles')` or simply `Yii::app()->user->roles`.
Modify or create the "WebUser.php" file under the "protected/components" directory so that it overloads the `checkAccess()` method.
You can define your own logic in this `checkAccess()` methods.
[CWebUser::checkAccess()] usually connects to the authorization system loaded in Yii.
Here we are replacing it with a simple system that just deals with roles instead of the hierarchical system defined by the derivatives of [CAuthManager]. See the official tutorial, [http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.auth#role-based-access-control](Role-Based Access Control) for details.
* In your PHP code, use `Yii::app()->user->checkAccess('admin')` to check if the current user has the 'admin' role.
The call `Yii::app()->user->checkAccess('staff')` will return true if the user has the role "staff" or "admin".
* In your controller, you can filter with `accessRules()` using the "roles" attribute of the rule.
As described in the API doc of [http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CAccessRule#roles-detail](CAccessRule), the "roles" attribute will in fact call `Yii::app()->user->checkAccess()`.
A very usual need is to allow a user to update its own data but not other's.
In this case, the user's role is meaningless without the context: the data that will be modified.
Of course `WebUser::checkAccess()` must be extended to use this "$params" parameter.
This will depend on your application's logic.
For instance, it could be as simple as granting access iff `$post->userId == $this->id`.

What prerequisites are required to enter the program?
Please see the “prerequisites” drop-down under “Admissions” for the full listing of prerequisites.
Can I be accepted before I have completed all my prerequisite courses?
Yes, however all prerequisite courses must be completed prior to beginning the program.
When do prerequisites need to be completed?
Six of the nine courses comprising the science prerequisite GPA must be completed at the time of application. All twelve prerequisites must be completed prior to entering the program. Statistics and the two psychology prerequisites do not have to be completed at the time of application.
What happens if I have not completed all the prerequisites?
Applicants that do not have six of the nine science prerequisites completed—with a grade reflected in PTCAS—are considered “incomplete.” We will not review these applications until after the academic update. (This is after we make decisions for the incoming class.) After the academic update, qualified applicants will be placed on the alternate/ wait list. All of the prerequisites must be completed by the time of program entry. If all of the prerequisites are not complete by this time, accepted students will be denied a position in the class.
My science classes are more than five years old. Do prerequisite courses have an expiration date?
No. There is currently no expiration date for prerequisite coursework.
How do I know if my prerequisites are acceptable?
Equivalency Charts are available on the UTC Records page. This link may be helpful as well. Please note that all science courses should be appropriate for majors in that discipline. While a course may transfer as an equivalent for the purposes of an undergraduate degree, undergraduate science courses designated as courses for non-majors are not usually accepted as prerequisites for entry into the DPT program. Please contact the Program Coordinator with questions regarding the appropriateness of courses if you have questions. You may also contact the department for equivalency information for specific schools.
If I have had a similar course, may I substitute it for a prerequisite?
In general, substitutions are not allowed, but exceptions are made on rare occasions. If you have a question about a specific course, please contact the Program Coordinator.
I never took general biology but my grades are good in higher courses – do I have to take general biology?
Typically, you should take the first-year sequence for biology majors at your school. You can substitute an upper level biology course (such as microbiology or genetics) for one semester of general biology. This usually occurs when the first-year sequence includes a botany or ecology-focused course. However, if you take the Biology I and Biology II sequence, those are the courses that will be calculated in your science prerequisite GPA, not the higher level course. Contact our Program Coordinator directly for further questions.
Do Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses taken in high school count toward course requirements?
AP and IB coursework credit reflected on the undergraduate transcript is accepted. However, if both an AP/IB course and the graded equivalent prerequisite course is reflected, the graded course will be used. Applicants should also consider that if an AP/IB course is counted toward one of the nine science prerequisites, that the science prerequisite GPA will be calculated on a smaller number of hours, thus increasing the weight/ percentage of each remaining science prerequisite grade.
Do you accept CLEP credit for prerequisites?
The program does not accept CLEP credit for prerequisites.
Can I take prerequisite courses at a community college?
Yes you can, but please note that you must have completed a Bachelor’s degree from a four-year-institution before matriculation into the program.
If I have completed a PTA or a medical professional degree, will I still be required to complete your prerequisite courses?
Yes. The prerequisites are the same for all applicants, regardless of their professional background.
Do all prerequisite courses in anatomy, physiology, chemistry and physics need to have a laboratory component?
Yes. There are no exceptions to the lab requirement.
My anatomy is only 3 credit hours but it has a lab, is that ok?
No. Two four-hour anatomy and physiology courses are the prerequisite requirements.
Can I take prerequisite courses online?
You may. However, be certain to check with all programs you are applying to because many will not accept online coursework.
I have already graduated and am having a hard time finding an Exercise Physiology course, what can I do?
You will need to take exercise physiology at a four-year institution; it is generally not offered at a community college. UTC usually teaches this course online in the summer.
Would it be to my advantage to take more science courses than the minimal requirements?
Physical therapy is a highly science driven profession, so any science courses you take will enrich your understanding of scientific thinking, and will ultimately benefit you in the program. However, this will not put you above another applicant who has taken fewer science courses assuming that you both have the met the prerequisite requirements.
What are some suggested elective courses to take during undergraduate years?
Is volunteer or work experience in physical therapy required in order to apply?
Yes, however, a minimum number of hours are not recommended or required. Site clinical observations are important because they give prospective students an understanding of the profession and what a physical therapist actually does, and what it takes to be a physical therapist. It is important to choose clinical observations in a variety of settings (i.e. pediatrics, outpatient, inpatient, etc.) to confirm your interest in physical therapy as a career. One reference from a licensed physical therapist will be required. Hours must be completed and verified in PTCAS in order for the application to be considered.
Where can I find information on obtaining observation hours?
Contact individual physical therapy clinics/settings in your area to find out more about observation opportunities.
Are there additional requirements for application to the DPT program?
Refer to our admissions section of the website for all detailed application requirements.

Allergen Warning: Contains Milk, Soy, Wheat, Almond and Peanut. Manufactured in a plant that processes Milk, Soy, Wheat, Tree Nut, Peanut and Eggs.
Enjoy these as a meal replacement or snack.
Lenny and Larry Muscle Brownies are a high protein cheat food for those who crave something naughty but still demand a certain amount of protein (20g in total from a combination of whey, soy and wheat protein in each of these).
We would recommend having these whenever you have a serious craving for chocolate as they provide a similar taste but a higher amount of protein. They can be eaten as frequently as desired but watch out for the calories.
Muscle Brownies can be used by men or women but they are best suited to those who are not on an arduous diet although even for dieters they can help by giving you a feeling of fullness for longer than a chocolate bar or similar dessert.
Lenny and Larry's is pretty much like a bodybuilding version of Ben and Jerry's except that instead of ice cream they make protein brownies.
Lenny and Larry's Muscle Brownie is closer to a real brownie than a regular protein bar but if you simply must have a protein rich treat that is as good as a regular brownie but with 20g protein per brownie, then you've got to grab a box of these. The texture and richness of each brownie is very impressive and it is no surprise these are so popular in America when you try one.
The brownies are ok, cookies nicer, macros are both pretty high, quite like that they are dense as a plus side.
Yum! Great tasting protein brownies.
Firstly, it's worth noting that these brownies are a new recipe, and the macros and calories are way better than the original recipe. Do they taste as good as the originals? probably not, but the new ones are still really nice.At 250 calories per brownie, they aren't going to compete with a Quest bar, but they're certainly easy enough to fit in your macros as a snack even if you are dieting.
I enjoyed the peanut butter brownie, it has a salty touch to it just like a brownie should have.

Never in a million years could I imagine needing an emergency c-section or experiencing post partum hemorrhaging or seeing my baby need resuscitation and not being in a facility that can accommodate those types of emergencies. And yet tens of thousands of women around the world give birth in conditions where a clean bed isn’t even available, much less electricity to support life-saving devices.
You can see fresh lochia pooling in the mud where Bokoro had just birthed her daughter.
I went back to our Medical Ship that evening stunned at what I had just witnessed.
I also left completely in awe of the resilience of strong mothers like Bokoro and her darling baby.
The women of this region are dignified and courageous, beautiful and precious.
There are many contributing factors to maternal and infant mortality in the developing world, and unfortunately there is not one blanket solution to “fix” the problems. We are continually in search of ways to address the issues these families are confronted with.
During a research trip to Africa Dr. Laura Stachel discovered that women were often giving birth in clinics by candlelight, kerosene lantern, or even the dim glow of a cell phone because electricity was fickle and inconsistent. In one instance she was observing a c-section when the power cut out. She stood holding a flashlight for them as they continued with the rest of the procedure, and reported that the health workers around her weren’t phased by the incident – after all, it was a regular occurrence.
In the areas where my family and I serve in Papua New Guinea (PNG) with the YWAM Medical Ship, even clinics and aid posts are few and far between. There is still much development to be done in the region, despite many passionate locals working tirelessly to make a difference. Community Health Workers are crying out for resources and support.
For the past few years the Love A Mama Mothers Day Drive* has been working to get clean birth kits and other maternal health resources into the hands mothers and care providers in rural PNG where the maternal death rate is a mind-blowing 1 in 7. The simple components of a clean birth kit – such as sterile gloves and a clean blade to cut the umbilical cord can help safe guard against infection — one of the leading causes of preventable maternal death. To date we’ve received close to 10,000 birth kits.
Now it’s time to expand our efforts to help these dear ones. These women—and their babies—need every advantage we can possibly give them to help combat the odds that are so heavily stacked against them.
It’s time to bring some light into the delivery room.
One suitcase that can bring light to many.
One simple innovation that can help sustain life for countless women and children.
This Mothers Day why don’t you consider giving a gift that will far outlast flowers and chocolates?
Make a $10 donation (or more) on behalf of your mom (grandma/daughter/friend/etc.) and we will send you a personalized PDF for you to forward to her (or fold into a card) for Mothers Day. The letter will describe the donation you made in her name, what it’s for, and the lives that will be impacted through it.
Donate online at YWAM Medical Ships.
Donations will be accepted indefinitely, but to receive a personalized Mothers Day letter, I need to receive your donation by May 8, 2013.
My family and I will be headed to PNG to join the YWAM Medical Ship this July and we sure hope that we’ll have a very special piece of extra luggage to pack along with us. We’re going to bring light on your behalf!
Dear friends, I know that so many of you have captured a heart for maternal health in the developing world by getting involved with Bloggers for Birth Kits (clean birth kits) and Project Baby Bilum (providing ring slings to women in need). I hope you’ll now see the need and opportunity and get behind the Sunshine Project too. The needs of women and children are critical and this is one small way that we can make a big impact for real women and real babies. Let’s spend this Mothers Day not just being consumed with our own entitlements, but by remembering the blessings that we have and remembering those who go without.
p.s. Please share about the Sunshine Project on social media and among your networks. If you’d like, you can also use the Love A Mama logo (or the Sunshine Project logo) in your own writing and promotions – just right click to copy the image below and then link it to www.loveamama.com.
*The Love A Mama Mothers Day Drive was formerly called the Bloggers for Birth Kits Mothers Day Drive.
This looks like a great project and the new website is beautiful! I hope my group (Cooroy MOPS) can either help with this or the birthkits. Thanks for giving mums – and moms : ) a chance to help.
Wow Miranda – a Townsville girl who’s lived in PNG. There you go!! I hope you can help spread the word about this important project!
This is such a wonderful idea! May God bless your project abundantly!
Love it. So excited for this. Your heart continues to amaze me!
is there another way to donate? it wont accept my transaction.
Hi Cory. Are you with an American bank? Sometimes the American banks see that you’re making an online transaction overseas and automatically block it for you (thinking it’s fraudulent). Our system seems to be working fine (we’re getting other transactions and donations without problems) so I’d suggest ringing up your bank to see if they’ve blocked it. Let me know how you go. The only other option is to do it through my personal paypal and then I can pay it out for you, but I’d rather it go straight through our accounts office if possible. Let me know how you go with your bank.
p.s. Thanks for wanting to get involved!!
gosh cory – what a huge pain! i’m glad you got it sorted out.
was it the international block thing? i get the same thing from my american bank (b of a) from time-to-time even though i’ve been living overseas for 13 YEARS!! it’s super frustrating, even though i get that it’s a “service” meant for my protection.
Ya it was getting blocked. My credit union flags Australia cause its known for originating much online fraud I guess. They allowed it the first day but it still didn’t work. They dug deeper today and we got it all squared away. My wife really wanted this for Mother’s Day and I think it’s great. Hope you reach your goal!
p.s. your website is really cool, cory! great design.
Also having trouble…keep trying but it says it cannot accept transaction. Let me know if there’s another way!
Hi Anna. I’ve just responded to Cory above, but my anti-spamware won’t let me post the same comment twice. I’ve told him that his bank may have blocked it. Have a look at my comment to him and see if that makes sense for you, too.
Thanks! I’l give it another go today after calling!
Yup – I managed to shut down our whole credit card, much to my hubby’s surprised when it got denied! Got it all cleared up and it accepted it!
So excited to donate to this project and it is such a great Mother’s Day gift! I am in the US and my donation transaction time is Australian time (already 5/9) can I still get a PDF card emailed to me?
Great project! Are you still in need of the birth kits? I have several nurse friends who I go to church with and I think this is something they would love to do together. Thank you for all your do for these moms in need!

“Instant depopulation” and the destruction of a rural community would be the outcome should the SIC press ahead with its proposal to shut Skerries’ three-pupil secondary department, islanders told councillors and officials during a public meeting last night.
More than 40 members of the community – over half the population – were in attendance for the passionate but fairly even-tempered two-hour session. Visiting council representatives were left in no doubt about the continued strength of opposition from a community which has successfully fended off previous attempts to scrap the one-classroom secondary.
In June, the SIC agreed to formally consult on a closure which it believes will save £62,000 a year from its runaway £38 million a year education budget, though that figure was fervently disputed by several in attendance at the community’s public hall.
Chairman of the council’s services committee Gussie Angus presided over proceedings and kicked off by explaining that the Blueprint for Education exercise was being conducted against a backdrop of falling school rolls and increased centralisation of population in and around Lerwick. He pointed to statistics showing a projected 31 per cent decrease in pupil numbers across Shetland over the next 20 years.
Mr Angus said the council had a responsibility to provide equal opportunity and access to education for young people, which was “a difficulty in a dispersed island community like this”. He also drew attention to the recent scathing verdict of the Accounts Commission over the council’s failure to competently manage its finances at a time of imminent cutbacks to its block grant from Holyrood.
A local resident and father of two school pupils, Ryan Arthur, eloquently expressed many people’s fears over the knock-on impact for the community’s fragile economy. He and others were annoyed at the suggestion within the proposal paper that there will be “no detrimental effect” on its sustainability.
The economy of Out Skerries, made up of the islands of Housay and Bruray and with a population estimated to be around 80, is heavily reliant on the lucrative Bound Skerries Salmon company. It provides employment for eight people between its farm and processing factory. Fishing boats also offer a steady source of income.
Head of economic development Neil Grant accepted that more work on the possible economic impact needed to be done, but that such a study would have to be clearly defined. He said it would be difficult to prove “in any meaningful sense” that the salmon farm would cease to exist should the secondary department shut.
Head of schools Helen Budge defended her department’s report on the grounds that the only direct loss of employment in the isles would be the school’s secondary teacher, as the nursery and primary departments will remain open.
But there was anger, too, at the report’s suggestion that pupils would receive a better quality of education at the Anderson High School. Mrs Budge said children would have more opportunity to interact with peers, while SIC representatives also pointed to the community of Fair Isle where pupils head to the AHS at the age of 11 or 12 with parents’ blessing.
The school’s parent council chairwoman Denise Anderson – a prominent figure in the island’s past successes in staving off the closure threat – said she believed the department provided the best education and learning environment for the island’s children. A mother of seven children, six of whom are being educated in Skerries at present, she said the excellent exam results of her son John would not have been replicated on the mainland.
Fears were also expressed about children as young as 11 having to spend long ferry journeys in rough seas travelling to and from Lerwick.
SIC vice-convener and North Isles councillor Josie Simpson was one of the five councillors – along with Mr Angus, education spokesman Bill Manson, North Isles member Robert Henderson and Lerwick North councillor Allan Wishart – present. He pointed to the arrested population decline in Fetlar, which had slipped below 50 but after a concerted effort has now bounced back to 66 people.
But with only five of the 22 elected members present, Melanie Gorman suggested that if councillors were going to take a “life-changing decision” for the community, the least they could do would be to come and see the situation on the ground before doing so.
The consultation period runs until Sunday 10th October, after which the evidence gathered will be included in a consultation report. It is expected councillors will be asked to decide whether or not to recommend closure in December. Should they choose to shut the school, the decision will be referred to Scottish ministers who have a six-week period to decide whether to intervene.
• Anyone wishing to contribute to the consultation can do so in writing to Blueprint for Education, Schools Service, Hayfield House, Hayfield Lane, Lerwick, ZE1 0QD, or by emailing [ mailto:blueprintforeducation@shetland.gov.uk ]blueprintforeducation@shetland.gov.uk.
As i worked on the Skerries Ferry for a few years i know how important it is for the future of there island to keep there secondary department open. I have witnessed there community pull themselves through a down turn in there Salmon Farm, Quota cuts for there fishing fleet and a dip in there population.
I think it is real credit to the community of Skerries that they have worked hard to pull there community through this hard times. I think at one point the population was nearly as low as 60 but know it’s starting to grow to around 80 with alot of young families. This is an island that is working hard and succeeding to keep their hard working community thriving.
I find it really hard to believe with the money that our Council have squandered on other areas of Shetland that they have decided to punish Skerries to save £62,000. Our councillors keep saying they have to start to take bold decisions to make the savings to sustain Shetlands oil reserves for the future. Don’t punish the ones who are trying to maintain working Communities.
I Find it really hard to believe that on the same week our Councillors decided to punish the future of the Community of Skerries they decide they have to make savings of £50,000 from inside the council to fund a Tunnel Managers job. The Council already have Officials employed who are well capable of doing this job without spending money that could go along way in keeping the Skerries Secondary department open.
I hope the Councillors who take these harsh decisions can live with themselves when they sit back in the Council Chambers and hold there hands up and vote to destroy a hard working Community. I hope you can think long and hard before you vote. For once try and do whats best for our Island communities not a short term fix to try and justify your positions.
I wish the Skerries Community all the best with there fight to keep there Secondary Department open for the sake of there future generations.

James Watt was the father of the industrial revolution; an inventor, engineer and scientist. His crucial role in transforming our world from one based on agriculture to one based on engineering and technology is recognized in the unit of power: the watt.
• radically improved the steam engine, starting the industrial revolution.
• continued to produce a stream of new ideas and inventions, which eventually resulted in an engine requiring 80% less fuel than earlier engines.
• invented high pressure steam engines capable of even higher efficiencies, but the technology of the time was not capable of operating them safely.
• introduced the word horsepower to describe an engine’s power output. We now generally use watts to measure power, although engine power is still often rated in horsepower.
• was the first person to propose that water is made of hydrogen combined with oxygen.
• independently discovered the scientific concept of latent heat.
• invented the world’s first copying machine, similar in function to a photocopier, to make copies of correspondence, pages of books, and pictures.
James Watt was born in 1736 in Greenock, Scotland, UK. He came from a successful family. His grandfather, Thomas, taught mathematics; his father, James, was a carpenter who built ships.
His mother, Agnes Muirhead, was well-educated. She taught him to read, while his father taught him arithmetic and writing.
James excelled at mathematics, science, and engineering at high school, but his language skills were less impressive. His health was often poor, and much of his learning took place at home, where he relaxed by watching fishing boats coming back into port and large sailing ships arriving with tobacco from the Americas. One day, thanks to his inventive mind, ships like these would be powered by engines rather than sails.
At eighteen, following the death of his mother, and a ship sinking that placed a heavy financial burden on his family, James gave up his plans to go to university. Instead, he trained in London as a scientific instrument maker, specializing in mathematical and nautical instruments. Within two months, his skills were higher than others who had been in training for two years. His exceptional hand skills had previously been commented on by workers in his father’s shipyard in Greenock.
After a year in London, he found work at Glasgow University repairing instruments for the astronomy department.
Watt’s instrument work was so good that the university’s professors wanted to keep him working there permanently, so they invited him to set up a workshop in the university. They soon realized the young man in the workshop was remarkably intelligent. They began calling on him to discuss their work. Students of mathematics and physics found Watt had learned more about their subjects than they had.
He also overcame his earlier poor language skills, teaching himself German and Italian in order to read more scientific literature.
Watt became friends with Adam Smith, who founded the academic discipline of Economics and wrote The Wealth of Nations. He also became friends with the chemist Joseph Black, who discovered magnesium and, independently of Watt, invented the concept of latent heat.
In 1759, four years after his arrival in Glasgow, the 23 year-old James Watt became interested in steam engines.
This happened when another of his new friends at the university, Professor John Robinson, discussed with him the possibility of a steam-driven car. Although their ideas for a car were impractical, a seed was sown in Watt’s fertile mind.
Professor Robinson didn’t stand still either. He was the first person to publish an inverse-square law for electric forces, and he invented the siren.
In 1763, aged 27, Watt came into contact with a working steam engine, the Newcomen engine. Professor John Anderson, who demonstrated the engine in his physics classes, needed it repaired. Watt did the repair, but was astonished at how little work the engine was capable of.
At that time, Newcomen engines had been used in Britain for 50 years, and no-one had found a way to improve them. They worked on the principle that a piston in a cylinder was driven in one direction by a jet of steam that heated air in the cylinder, expanding it; cold water would be injected in place of the steam to cool the air in the cylinder, creating a partial vacuum which pulled the piston back in the other direction, ready for the cycle to begin again with the injection of hot steam.
Watt decided he could make a better engine. He thought about little else, and experimented in his workshop with water and steam in metal vessels.
After two years of experimenting and thinking, Watt had his Eureka moment.
With his scientific understanding of the behavior of water and the principle of latent heat, he realized that the problem with the Newcomen steam engine was as follows: heat was used by the engine to generate steam, but when the steam had done its work the cylinder was cooled down with water. Heating and cooling the same cylinder for every piston stroke was very costly in terms of the energy needed to do it.
The idea came into my mind that as steam was a gas it would rush into a vacuum, and if I linked the engine’s cylinder to a vessel at low pressure, the steam would rush into it. The steam would condense there and it wouldn’t cool the engine-cylinder. I then saw that I must get rid of the condensed steam from the cylinder.
Watt redesigned the engine. His idea was that air pressure would push the piston into a partial vacuum generated when steam condenses into liquid water. The steam turned into water in Watt’s condenser, which was surrounded by cold water.
The process was helped by a vacuum pump connected to the condenser which took the hot water made by the condensing steam and conveyed it back, still hot, to the boiler ready to be turned back into steam.
While keeping the condenser cold, Watt also realized the importance of keeping the piston/working cylinder hot: he surrounded these with a hot steam jacket.
By the end of 1765, a 29 year-old Watt had built his first small-scale steam engine, featuring a separate condensing chamber, and a steam jacket. The start of industrial revolution was getting closer, but had not yet begun.
In 1769, aged 33, Watt patented his new engine.

Watt owned one of the most important patents in human history. He sold it to John Roebuck, whose factory went bankrupt.
Matthew Boulton of Birmingham bought the patent rights to Watt’s steam engine.
In 1775, Watt celebrated his 39th birthday and began a highly successful 25-year partnership with Boulton. The partnership was a perfect combination of Watt’s scientific and engineering ingenuity and Boulton’s factory and commercial skills.
Eleven years after Watt built his first small-scale steam engine, his engines began to be installed to pump water out of mines. The annual fee the mine owners paid for the machines was one-third of the value of the fuel savings the machines made.
News of the new super-efficient engines spread fast, and with the coming of Watt’s steam engines, the industrial revolution began.
Watt and Boulton’s success did have a few hiccups along the way. In 1791, they had to arm their workers against a four day riot in which scientists and intellectuals were a specific target.
As the years passed, Boulton & Watt engines found their way into ever more applications, and the United Kingdom was gripped by the industrial revolution. Boulton and Watt began exporting their new technology all over the world.
The new industries began releasing larger amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than previous human actions had. This trend continues today.
The End, But Not Before Another Crucial New Engine Design!
In 1800, aged 64, and very wealthy, Watt retired. His patent had expired, and he and Matthew Boulton passed their partnership to their sons, James Watt Junior, and Matthew Robinson Boulton, who continued it successfully.
Watt continued with research work in his retirement. He patented his copying machine, the double-action engine, the rotary engine, and the steam pressure indicator.
The rotary engine was crucial, because it enabled engines to drive wheels rather than the simpler up-down pumping motion of earlier machines.
James Watt died in 1819, aged 83. His mental power had not declined. His mind was razor sharp to the end.

Novak Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal in the final match of Australian Open. Serbian star won 3 sets (6-3, 6-2, 6-3) in less than two hours.
Djokovic was still looking as fresh as the daisies around him.
“I feel young, I feel fresh, I feel fit,” the 31-year-old Serb said the morning after his victory. “I don’t think about age. I don’t think about any limits. Of course, I’ll keep on striving to get better, but also to maintain the healthy lifestyle that brings me longevity and well-being.
Djokovic said he welcomed the news that Roger Federer intends to play at the French Open this summer for the first time for four years.
