A rotating furnace is a special type of furnace used to make lenses or mirrors for telescopes.
Glass is placed in the furnace which is then spun up and heated.
The top surface of the melted glass takes on a concave shape.
The glass is cooled while still spinning.
The spinning makes the glass the same shape as the main mirror used in a telescope.
Computer controlled grinding machines can correct the shape of the glass.
The concave top surface can be coated with silver and be used as a focusing mirror.
The shape of bottom surface is made by the container the glass was melted in.
The technology is being used for the Giant Magellan Telescope's seven mirrors.
Large focusing mirrors can also be made using liquid mercury, such as the Large Zenith Telescope.
The rotation is continuous and the metal remains liquid; once all waves and imbalances die out, the telescope is then used.
In an experiment, the variables used can be classed as either dependent or independent variables.
The dependent variable is the possible outcome of the experiment; the effect.
It depends on what happens to other variables in the experiment.
The dependent variable is basically the part that you are changing.
For example, if you want to know how much light a plant needs to grow, the amount of growth is the dependent.
If you wanted to see if a plant would grow better in hot or cold areas your independent variable would be the temperature of the air.
The independent variable is the variable that you have control over, what you can choose and manipulate.
It is usually what you think will affect the dependent variable.
In some cases, you may not be able to manipulate the independent variable.
It may be something that is already there and is fixed, something you would like to evaluate with respect to how it affects something else, the independent variable like color, kind, time.
As an example, you are interested in how stress affects heart rate in humans.
Your independent variable would be the stress and the dependent variable would be the heart rate.
You can directly manipulate stress levels in your human subjects and measure how those stress levels change heart rate.
In calculus, a function is a map whose action is specified on variables.
Take x and y to be two variables.
A function f may map x to some expression in x. Assigning gives a relation between y and x. If there is some relation specifying y in terms of x, then y is known as a dependent variable (and x is an independent variable).
Hamnet Shakespeare (baptised 2 February 1585 – buried 11 August 1596) was the only son of William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway.
He was the twin brother of Judith Shakespeare.
He died at age 11.
How he died is not known.
There are several ideas about a possible relationship between Hamnet and his father's play Hamlet.
Other ideas state there is a relationship between Hamnet's death and the writing of King John, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, and Twelfth Night.
These ideas of a relationship became popular as early as the 18th century.
They continued into the 1930s.
In the 1930s, thinkers who believed in modernism and New Criticism said the relationship did not matter.
Modernism and New Criticism thinkers believe that a writer's life does not change his writing.
More recently, as New Criticism has become less popular, the ideas about Hamnet and his father's work have been talked about again.
The Large Zenith Telescope (LZT) is a 6.0 metre diameter telescope.
It is in the University of British Columbia's Malcolm Knapp Research Forest, about  east of Vancouver.
It is one of the largest  telescopes in the world.
A zenith telescope is only able to look straight up.
This means that it can use a mirror which is a smoothly spinning pan filled with liquid mercury.
The LZT uses 28 litres of mercury, spinning once every 8.5 seconds.
This type of mirror can be made much larger and cheaper than a conventional mirror, which means it collects much more light.
This light is focused into a CCD to make an image.
The LZT is used for "transit imaging".
This means that earth's rotation moves stars past the telescope.
Images can be taken by moving the sensor electronically in step with this movement.

The Battle of Maryang San is known as Australia's greatest accomplishment in the Korean War.
The battle occurred when the US General George Fleet called for forces to capture some positions just prior to the signing of the truce at Panmanjan.
The Commonwealth forces, fighting as part of the United Nations, consisted of a number of British, Australian and New Zealand units.
These included three Battalions of the 28th British Commonwealth Brigade,  the 1st Battalion The King's Own Scottish Borderers (KOSB), 1st Battalion King's Shropshire Light Infantry (KSLI) and 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment.
Brigadier George Taylor (United Kingdom) was the Brigade Commander.
The British Commonwealth Division consisted of the 25th, 28th and 29th Brigades under the command of Lieutenant General James "Gentleman Jim" Cassels (later Field Marshal Sir James) and was part of 1 Corps.
These units was arrayed against the Chinese Communist forces.
3 Battalion RAR was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel 'Frank' Francis Hassett.
Commonwealth forces main aims were to take a number of hill positions, and taking the main objective, Maryang San.
The first attacks saw the Australian A and B company of 3 RAR take Hill 199, and the 1st Battalion Kings Shropshire Light Infantry take Hill 208.
The Kings Own Scottish Borderers (KOSB) had moved to take Hill 399 but were pinned down on its slopes by nightfall.
The Australian's attacked at dawn, moving against the Chinese held Hill 200.
Chinese infantry were driven from their trenches, and they fled, leaving behind some prisoners of war.
The first gun emplacement was taken, and then the second, with the Chinese troops retreating down the slope of Hill 200.
A, B and D Companies attacked the Chinese units, and drew them away from Maryan San, the main objective.
Following United Nations forces artillery and mortar fire, Chinese Troops withdrew from Maryan San, and the Australian troops moved to take the position.
Australian troops moved against an area that was used by the Chinese for artillery bombardments, known as the Hinge.
After taking the Hinge, they were subjected to constant attacks, which eventually became sporadic and died off.
At about 8 pm, the Chinese launched an attack in huge numbers.
The Australian units were well dug in, using the Chinese own trench positions, and responded to the waves of Chinese troops with machine gun fire.
Chinese troops fell in their hundreds.
South Korean porters moved forward constantly, bringing supplies and taking away wounded.
By 5 November, after the Australians were withdrawn to recover, Maryang San had been recaptured by the Chinese.
It was a terrible blow to morale for those who had fought long and hard to capture it.
The tactically important ground of Maryang San remained in the hands of Chinese forces for the rest of the war.

In thermodynamics, the fugacity is a state function of any isothermal system.
The fugacity, which has units of pressure, represents the tendency of a fluid to escape or expand isothermally.
For gases at low pressures where the ideal gas law holds, fugacity is equal to pressure.
The ratio  between fugacity  and pressure  is called the fugacity coefficient; therefore,  for an ideal gas.
The fugacity  is defined at fixed temperature  by the following differential relation:
where  is the Gibbs free energy,  is the molar gas constant, and  is the fluid's volume.
For any two isothermal physical states, represented by subscripts 1 and 2, the ratio of the two fugacities is as follows:

In English, the gerund is formed by adding -ing to a verb root.
It is identical in form to the present participle (ending in -ing) and can behave as a verb within a clause (so that it may be modified by an adverb or have an object), but the clause as a whole (sometimes consisting of only one word, the gerund itself) acts as a noun within the larger sentence.
For example: Eating this cake is easy.
In "Eating this cake is easy", "eating this cake", although traditionally known as a phrase, is referred to as a non-finite clause in modern linguistics.
"Eating" is the verb in the clause, while "this cake" is the object of the verb.
"Eating this cake" acts as a noun phrase within the sentence as a whole, though; the subject of the sentence is the non-finite clause, specifically eating.
I like swimming. (
direct object)
Swimming is fun. (
subject)
Not all nouns that are identical in form to the present participle are gerunds.
The formal distinction is that a gerund is a verbal noun – a noun derived from a verb that retains verb characteristics, that functions simultaneously as a noun and a verb, while other nouns in the form of the present participle (ending in -ing) are deverbal nouns, which function as common nouns, not as verbs at all.
Compare:
I like fencing. (
gerund, an activity, could be replaced with "to fence")
The white fencing adds to the character of the neighborhood. (
deverbal, could be replaced with an object such as "bench")
Double nature of the gerund
As the result of its origin and development, the gerund has nominal and verbal properties.
The nominal characteristics of the gerund are as follows:
The gerund can perform the function of subject, object and predicative:
Smoking endangers your health. (
I like making people happy. (
object)
The gerund can be preceded by a preposition:
Like a noun the gerund can be modified by a noun in the possessive case, a possessive adjective, or an adjective:
I wonder at John's keeping calm.
Is there any objection to my seeing her?
Brisk walking relieves stress.
The verbal characteristics of the gerund include the following:
The gerund of transitive verbs can take a direct object:
I've made good progress in speaking Basque.
The gerund can be modified by an adverb:
Breathing deeply helps you to calm down.
The gerund has the distinctions of aspect and voice.
Having read the book once before makes me more prepared.
Being deceived can make someone feel angry.
Verb patterns with the gerund
Verbs that are often followed by a gerund include admit, adore, anticipate, appreciate, avoid, carry on, consider, contemplate, delay, deny, describe, detest, dislike, enjoy, escape, fancy, feel, finish, give, hear, imagine, include, justify, listen to, mention, mind, miss, notice, observe, perceive, postpone, practice, quit, recall, report, resent, resume, risk, see, sense, sleep, stop, suggest, tolerate and watch.
I will never quit smoking.
We postponed making any decision.
After two years of deciding, we finally made a decision.
We heard whispering.
They denied having avoided me.
He talked me into coming to the party.
They frightened her out of voicing her opinion.
The Institution of Electrical Engineers (I.E.E., pronounced I-double-E or I-E-E) was a British professional organisation of electronics, electrical, manufacturing, and Information Technology professionals.

The I.E.E. was founded in 1871 as the Society of Telegraph Engineers.
It changed its name in 1880 to the Society of Telegraph Engineers and Electricians.
The name changed again to the Institution of Electrical Engineers in 1889.
It was Incorporated by a Royal Charter in 1921.
In 2006, the I.E.E. merged with the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (I.I.E.) to form the Institution of Engineering and Technology (I.E.T.).
Before the merger, the I.E.E. was the largest professional engineering society in Europe, with a worldwide membership of around 120,000.

In linguistics, a participle is a word that shares some characteristics of both verbs and adjectives.
Examples of participle formation are:
The visiting dignitaries devoured the baked apples.
Please bring all the documents required.
(= Please bring all the documents that are required.)
The difficulties encountered were nearly insurmountable.
(= The difficulties that were encountered were nearly insurmountable.)
Present participles
The present participle in English has the same form as the gerund, but the gerund acts as a noun rather than a verb or a modifier.
The word sleeping in Your job description does not include sleeping is a gerund and not a present participle.
While English past participles, like past tense forms, are sometimes irregular, all English present participles are regular, being formed with the suffix -ing.
forming the progressive aspect: Jim was sleeping.
modifying a noun as an adjective: Let sleeping dogs lie.
(= Let dogs that are sleeping lie.)
modifying a verb or sentence in clauses: Broadly speaking, the project was successful.
Past participles
forming the perfect: The chicken has eaten.
forming the passive voice: The chicken was eaten.
modifying a noun, with active sense: our fallen comrades (= our comrades who have fallen)
modifying a noun, with passive sense: the attached files (= the files that have been attached)
modifying a verb or sentence, with passive sense: Seen from this perspective, the problem presents no easy solution.
(= When it is seen from this perspective,....)
Passive participles
The dog, having been praised by its master, was happy, or more commonly, The dog, praised by its master, was happy.
Even irregular past participle verbs often follow the format -en or -ne, as may be seen from above.
For examples:

Crash Bandicoot is a platform game made by Naughty Dog in 1996 for the PlayStation, featuring the character by the same name.
In it, Crash must fight Dr. Neo Cortex's henchmen (bosses) in order to save Tawna, his beloved bandicoot girlfriend for revenge on Cortex.
The game sold 6.8 million copies, becoming the 8th best-selling PlayStation video games of all time.
Crash Bandicoot has 33 levels.
Two of these levels can be activated by collecting a key.
Each level has a particular theme.
No theme is shared by more than two levels.
For example, on two levels, Crash runs toward the camera from a boulder (that is heading towards him), an allusion to Indiana Jones.
On another level, henchmen throw barrels of toxic waste at Crash as he progresses toward the level's goal.
There are also unlockable bonus levels by collecting three Nitrus Brio, Dr. Cortex (only in 2 levels) and Tawna icons.
These pictures are always in boxes which gives the player a reason to break open boxes since you can't save your progress unless you complete a Tawna bonus round or a Cortex bonus round.
You can also save by collecting a gem.
You can also collect gems in Crash Bandicoot.
To collect a gem, you must break all the boxes on that level without losing a life.
There are several different colored gems in the game.
Some levels require that you complete another level before every box on a certain level is revealed.
For example, the Jungle Rollers level requires that you collect the green gem from the Lost City level before every box on that level is unmasked.

Balvin was born in a middle-class family in Medellín, Colombia, on May 7, 1985.
He is the son of José Álvaro Osorio and Alba Mery Balvin and has a younger sister named Carolina, who is a model.
His father was an economist and businessman, and grew up in a large house in the hills outside the city.
He grew up listening to rock bands like Metallica and Nirvana, and claims that he incorporates grunge aesthetics into his personal style by having a Nirvana tattoo on his knee.
He developed an interest in reggaeton after listening to Daddy Yankee.
He recalls that "I was such a fan that I copied his style, the way he moved on stage, his flows, his raps," comparing him to reggaeton's Jay-Z. His father's business went bankrupt and his family lost their homes and cars, demanding that the family move to a poorer neighborhood.
During this period of his life, J Balvin observes: "When I went into the favela, people saw me as a rich person, but when I'm around rich people, they see me as someone from the ghetto.
They are all perceptions.
I like to move between the worlds.
I feel equally comfortable in both. ".
When J Balvin was 17, he attended an English exchange program in Oklahoma, but was disappointed by the experience, saying, "I was expecting the US that everyone knows about Hollywood."
Shortly after the experience, he moved to New York to study English and music, living with an aunt in Staten Island and working as a dog walker.
During his time in New York, he was fascinated by the business knowledge of rappers 50 Cent and P. Diddy of New York.
J Balvin worked in various jobs in New York, Miami and Medellin, including working illegally in the United States as a carpenter and house painter.
He finally decided to return to Colombia and began performing at various urban clubs in Medellín and increasing his social media afterwards.
He enrolled at the prestigious EAFIT University in Medellin for seven semesters studying international business.
At 19, he began to seriously pursue a career in music and adopted the stage name J Balvin "El Negocio", which means "the Business" in Portuguese.
He met his DJ and business partner David Rivera Mazo in a freestyle street battle in Medellin.
The two became friends and began producing and promoting their own music without a record label.
The first songs by J Balvin were described as "basically poor imitations of Puerto Rican commercial reggaeton," but he soon adopted a more relaxed and minimalist style in his music.
He signed with EMI Colombia in 2009 and soon afterwards released the single "Ella Me Cautivó", which was 35th place on the Billboard Tropical Songs chart.
His first international success was the one-night " Yo Te Lo Dije, " and he signed with Universal's subsidiary, Capitol Latin, a year later.

Her reign started in 593 and ended in 628.
Historians consider details about the life of Empress Suiko to be possibly legendary, but probable.
The name Suiko-tennō was created for her posthumously by later generations.
In the history of Japan, Suiko was the first of eight women to be empress.
The seven others were: (a) Kōgyoku/Saimei, (b) Jitō, (c) Gemmei, (d) Genshō, (e) Kōken/Shōtoku, (f) Meishō, and (g) Go-Sakuramachi.
Suiko was the third daughter of Emperor Kimmei.
She was the half-sister of Emperor Yōmei and Emperor Sushun.
Events of Suiko's life
593 : In the 2nd year of Emperor Sushun's reign, he died.
The next monarch  was his half-sister who became known as Empress Suiko.
This succession was confirmed in ceremonies.
The use of the Sexegenary cycle calendar (Jikkan Jūnishi) in Japan is credited to Empress Suiko in 604.
604:  In the 12 year of Suiko's reign (the Suiko period), Japan organized its earliest Imperial calendar.
Suiko ruled for 35 years.
She abdicated in 628.
Suiko died in 628.
This empress' official name after her death (her posthumous name) was regularized only after death.
Her reign name means "to reason from antiquity."
The actual site of Suiko's grave is known.
This empress is traditionally venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine (misasagi) at Osaka.
The Imperial Household Agency designates this location as Suiko's mausoleum.
It is formally named Shinaga no Yamada no misasagi.

The naval Battle of Valcour Island took place on October 11, 1776 on Lake Champlain.
The battle was also known as the Battle of Valcour Bay.
The main battle had took place in Valcour Bay, a strait between the New York mainland and Valcour Island.
The battle was known as one of the first naval battles of the American Revolutionary War.
It was also known as one of the first battle from the Royal Navy.
Benedict Arnold demanded that the Americans flee from their ships.
The ships were destroyed by a British force, which was controlled by General Guy Charleton.
The British had planned to reach the upper Hudson River valley, however the American defense of Lake Champlain stalled the British from reaching it.
In June 1776, The Continental Army had moved away from enemy forces in Quebec to Fort Ticonderoga and Fort Crown Point.
They had spent that summer fixing their forts and building more ships to build their army.
General Carleton had a 9,000 man army at Fot Saint-Jean.
However, he needed to build an object to carry all of them over the lake.
The Americans had either taken or destroyed most of the ships on the lake.
On October 11, Arnold took the British vessels to a different location.
He had chosen to give the British limited advantages.
Many American ships were damaged or destroyed during the battle.
Arnold had took the American vessels past the British vessels during that night.
He had took them toward Crown Point and Ticonderoga.
However, because of dangerous weather, more of the vessels were captured or burned before they had reached Crown Point.
When Arnold had reached Crown Point he had the fort's buildings burned.
He then left to Ticonderoga.
Thomas Pringle, James Dacres, Edward Pellew and John Schank, who were officers, had became admirals in the Royal Navy.
Valcour Bay, where the battle had begun, is now a National Historic Landmark.
The USS Philadelphia, which had sank after the battle on October 11, was risen from the ocean in 1934.
USS Spitfire, which was located in 1997, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
This work contains detailed specifications for most of the watercraft used in this action, as well as copies of draft documents for some of them.

Valcour Bay is a strait between the New York mainland and Valcour Island.
It is four miles south from Plattsburgh, New York.
The bay was where the Battle of Valcour Island had happened during the American Revolutionary War.
On October 11, 1776, the presence of an American fleet on the west shore of Lake Champlain, at Valcour Bay, hampered the British and allowed an American victory at Saratoga a year later, a turning point in the Revolutionary War.
In 1961 Valcour Bay was declared a National Historic Landmark.
Valcour Island lies in Lake Champlain, forming a strait against the New York mainland.
On October 11, 1776, a naval engagement known as the Battle of Valcour Island was fought in that strait between British and United States naval forces.

During the 1980s, WTBS focused heavily on movies – running two films during the day, and a movie-exclusive schedule during the nighttime hours after 8:00 p.m., with the exception of sports events.
At other times, WTBS continued to run mostly classic sitcoms, and vintage cartoons.
In 1986, when Ted Turner purchased Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists (which he would sell back to previous owner Kirk Kerkorian that October due to debt incurred by the Turner Broadcasting System from its purchase of the film studio), WTBS gained the rights to the entire MGM film library (including certain acquisitions by MGM).
This gave WTBS the rights to air many theatrical cartoon shorts such as Tom & Jerry, Barney Bear, Tex Avery, and The Pink Panther, as well as shows like Gilligan's Island and CHiPs.
Along with Tom & Jerry, WTBS began to run The Little Rascals, Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons released prior to August 1948, theatrical Popeye cartoon shorts, and Three Stooges shorts under the banner Tom & Jerry and Friends running for either one hour or 90 minutes during the morning hours and for an hour in the afternoon from 1986 until the mid-1990s.
In the late 1980s, WTBS decreased the number of movies broadcast during the day slightly and began to add sitcoms from the 1970s (such as Happy Days, The Jeffersons, Good Times and One Day at a Time) to the evening lineup; Little House on the Prairie aired during the late mornings continuously from 1986 to 2003.
