"I don't know where it is," he replied; "no one knows. All his friends are dead. No one took care of him or tended his grave, and I was only a little boy."
"Oh, how dreadfully lonely he must have been," said she.
"Yes, terribly lonely," cried the tin soldier; "still it is delightful not to be forgotten."
"Delightful indeed!" cried a voice quite near to them. No one but the tin soldier saw that it came from a rag of the leather which hung in tatters.[289] It had lost all its gilding and looked like wet earth, but it had an opinion, and it spoke it thus:
But the tin soldier did not believe any such thing.
Wild flowers in profusion covered the hedges. Under the little apple tree Spring seemed busy, and he told his tale from one of the branches, which hung fresh and blooming and covered with delicate pink blossoms that were just ready to open.
The branch well knew how beautiful it was; this knowledge exists as much in the leaf as in the blood. I was therefore not surprised when a nobleman's carriage, in which sat the young countess, stopped in the road just by. The apple branch, she said, was a most lovely object, an[291] emblem of spring in its most charming aspect. The branch was broken off for her, and she held it in her delicate hand and sheltered it with her silk parasol.
Then they drove to the castle, in which were lofty halls and splendid drawing-rooms. Pure white curtains fluttered before the open windows, and beautiful flowers stood in transparent vases. In one of them, which looked as if it had been cut out of newly fallen snow, the apple branch was placed among some fresh light twigs of beech. It was a charming sight. And the branch became proud, which was very much like human nature.
People of every description entered the room, and according to their position in society so dared they to express their admiration. Some few said nothing, others expressed too much, and the apple branch very soon got to understand that there was as much difference in the characters of human beings as in those of plants and flowers. Some are all for pomp and parade, others have a great deal to do to maintain their own importance, while the rest might be spared without much loss to society.[292] So thought the apple branch as he stood before the open window, from which he could see out over gardens and fields, where there were flowers and plants enough for him to think and reflect upon—some rich and beautiful, some poor and humble indeed.
"Poor despised herbs," said the apple branch; "there is really a difference between them and such as I am. How unhappy they must be if they can feel as those in my position do! There is a difference indeed, and so there ought to be, or we should all be equals."
And the apple branch looked with a sort of pity upon them, especially on a certain little flower that is found in fields and in ditches. No one bound these flowers together in a nosegay, they were too common,—they were even known to grow between the paving stones, shooting up everywhere like bad weeds,—and they bore the very ugly name of "dog flowers," or "dandelions."
A difference!" cried the sunbeam as he kissed the blooming apple branch and then kissed the yellow dandelion out in the fields. All were brothers, and the sunbeam kissed them—the poor flowers as well as the rich.
The apple bough had never thought of the boundless love of God which extends over all the works of creation, over everything which lives and moves and has its being in Him. He had never thought of the good and beautiful which are so often hidden, but can never remain forgotten by Him, not only among the lower creation, but also among men. The sunbeam, the ray of light, knew better.
"You do not see very far nor very clearly," he said to the apple branch. "Which is the despised plant you so specially pity?"
"The dandelion," he replied. "No one ever places it in a nosegay; it is trodden under foot, there are so many of them; and when they run to seed they have flowers like wool, which fly away in little pieces over the roads and cling to the dresses of the people; they are only weeds—but of course there must be weeds. Oh, I am really[294] very thankful that I was not made like one of these flowers."
There came presently across the fields a whole group of children, the youngest of whom was so small that he had to be carried by the others; and when he was seated on the grass, among the yellow flowers, he laughed aloud with joy, kicked out his little legs, rolled about, plucked the yellow flowers and kissed them in childlike innocence.
The elder children broke off the flowers with long stems, bent the stalks one round the other to form links, and made first a chain for the neck, then one to go across the shoulders and hang down to the waist, and at last a wreath to wear about the head; so that they looked quite splendid in their garlands of green stems and golden flowers. But the eldest among them gathered carefully the faded flowers, on the stem of which were grouped together the seeds, in the form of a white, feathery coronal.
These loose, airy wool-flowers are very beautiful, and look like fine, snowy feathers or down. The children held them to their mouths and tried to blow away the whole coronal with one puff of[295] the breath. They had been told by their grandmothers that whoever did so would be sure to have new clothes before the end of the year. The despised flower was by this raised to the position of a prophet, or foreteller of events.
"Do you see," said the sunbeam, "do you see the beauty of these flowers? Do you see their powers of giving pleasure?"
"Yes, to children," said the apple bough.
By and by an old woman came into the field and, with a blunt knife without a handle, began to dig round the roots of some of the dandelion plants and pull them up. With some she intended to make tea for herself, but the rest she was going to sell to the chemist and obtain money.
"But beauty is of higher value than all this," said the apple-tree branch; "only the chosen ones can be admitted into the realms of the beautiful. There is a difference between plants, just as there is a difference between men."
Then the sunbeam spoke of the boundless love of God as seen in creation and over all that lives, and of the equal distribution of His gifts, both in time and in eternity.[296]
"That is your opinion," said the apple bough.
Then some people came into the room and among them the young countess—the lady who had placed the apple bough in the transparent vase, so pleasantly beneath the rays of sunlight.  The object was hidden by two or three great leaves which covered it like a shield so that no draft or gust of wind could injure it, and it was carried more carefully than the apple branch had ever been.
Very cautiously the large leaves were removed, and there appeared the feathery seed crown of the despised yellow dandelion. This was what the lady had so carefully plucked and carried home so safely covered, so that not one of the delicate feathery arrows of which its mistlike shape was so lightly formed should flutter away. She now drew it forth quite uninjured and wondered at its beautiful form, its airy lightness and singular construction so soon to be blown away by the wind.
"See," she exclaimed, "how wonderfully God has made this little flower. I will paint it in a picture with the apple branch. Every one admires[297] the beauty of the apple bough, but this humble flower has been endowed by Heaven with another kind of loveliness, and although they differ in appearance both are children of the realms of beauty."
Then the sunbeam kissed both the lowly flower and the blooming apple branch, upon whose leaves appeared a rosy blush.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. Section 3.

Newby Chief Executive and Director<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit http://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: http://www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

Two-way Button Example
int main(int argc, char **argv) { QApplication app(argc, argv); QPushButton button; QStateMachine machine;
The application's main() function begins by constructing the application object, a button and a state machine.
QState *off = new QState(); off->assignProperty(&button, "text", "Off"); off->setObjectName("off"); QState *on = new QState(); on->setObjectName("on"); on->assignProperty(&button, "text", "On");
The state machine has two states; on
and off
. When either state is entered, the text of the button will be set accordingly.
off->addTransition(&button, SIGNAL(clicked()), on); on->addTransition(&button, SIGNAL(clicked()), off);
When the state machine is in the off
state and the button is clicked, it will transition to the on
state; when the state machine is in the on
state and the button is clicked, it will transition to the off
state.
machine.addState(off); machine.addState(on);
The states are added to the state machine; they become top-level (sibling) states.
machine.setInitialState(off); machine.start();
The initial state is off
; this is the state the state machine will immediately transition to once the state machine is started.
button.resize(100, 50); button.show(); return app.exec(); }
Finally, the button is resized and made visible, and the application event loop is entered.

{% extends 'base.html' %} {% load staticfiles %} {% block content %}
A serious problem in our society is the unequal education of lower class students. Specifically, students in low income neighborhoods are massively underrepresented in STEM fields today.
There are numerous amounts of reason for this, often times schools in these areas receive less funding, computers are expensive to afford for some families, and many others. With no money, schools cannot afford up-to-date labs, computers, and technology necessary for stem teachings.
However, in recent years, colleges and the government have been pushing to reach out to these groups and provide programs and resources. One problem is that often times students in these situations are not aware of the support they can receive. The purpose of this website is to help aliviate this problem.


 So why can't it add up to the sum of its parts? "Jawbreaker" is the story of a birthday prank gone wrong, when three girls fatally choke their friend with a jawbreaker. The three most popualr girls in school must then try to cover up their murder. However, instead of focusing on the case at hand, "Jawbreaker" needlessly tries to become a lesson in high school politics, and the characters carry on a lifestyle of excess(not unlike the characters in "Very Bad Things"). At times, "Jawbreaker" is sharp, but mostly it comes off as glib, derivative and uninviting.  "Jawbreaker" didn't really hit any mass audience in theatres, and no mass audience should seek it out on video.
Note: I know where Darren Stein went to high school, and it doesn't seem to me that he could have got many of his ideas from there.

6.3
domestic | energy | heating system | 2010
Every
building
must be designed and
constructed
in such a way that
the heating and hot water service systems installed are energy
efficient and are capable of being controlled to achieve optimum
energy efficiency.
Limitation:
This standard does not apply to:
(a)
buildings
which do not use fuel or power for controlling the
temperature of the internal environment;
(b)
heating provided solely for the purpose of frost protection; or
(c)
individual solid-fuel or oil-firing stoves or open-fires, gas or electric
fires or
room
heaters (excluding electric storage and panel
heaters) provided as secondary heating in
domestic buildings
.
6.3.0 Introduction
In the design of
domestic buildings
, the energy efficiency of the heating plant
is an important part of the package of measures which contributes to the
overall
dwelling
carbon dioxide emissions. In practice the backstop levels
given in this guidance for appliance efficiencies and controls will normally be
exceeded to achieve compliance with standard 6.1 for new
buildings
.
This guidance refers to main heating systems for
dwellings
. Both the primary
heating and secondary heating systems are taken account of in SAP 2009.
When the guidance in section 3 Environment on heating requirements for
dwellings
is considered along with standard 6.1, central heating (rather than
using several individual appliances as primary heating) will usually be the
most practical way to satisfy the standards.
EU Directive
2009/28/EC
Article 13
Directive
2009/28/EC
promotes the use of energy from renewable sources.
Where the
dwelling
design will include use of renewable energy for heating,
Article 13 of the directive recommends, amongst other measures,
consideration of use of the following:
•
For biomass equipment, conversion efficiencies of 85%.
•
For heat pumps, those that fulfil the minimum requirements of
eco-labelling established in Commission Decision 2007/742/EC of 9
November 2007 establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the
Community eco-label to electrically driven, gas driven or gas absorption
heat pumps.
•
For solar thermal systems, those that are subject to EU standards,
including eco-labels and other technical reference systems established by
the European standardisation bodies.
In the case of conversions, as specified in regulation 4, the
building
as
converted
shall meet the requirements of this standard in so far as is
reasonably practicable
, and in no case be worse than before the conversion
(regulation 12, schedule 6).

Vented copper hot water storage vessels associated with the system should
meet the heat loss and heat exchanger requirements in BS 1566-1: 2002.
The appliance efficiency should be at least that required for its category as

6.3.2
domestic | energy | heating system | 2010
6.3.3 Electric wet central heating efficiency
Electric flow boilers should be
constructed
to meet the requirements of the
Low Voltage Directive and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive, preferably
shown by a third party electrical approval e.g. British Electrotechnical
Approvals Board (BEAB) or similar. Vented copper hot water storage vessels
associated with the system should meet BS 1566: 2002 or BS 3198: 1981.
For the most efficient use of electrical supplies it is recommended that an
electric flow boiler is used to provide space heating alone, with the bulk of the
hot water demand of the
dwelling
being supplied by a directly heated water
heater utilising 'off-peak' electricity tariffs.
6.3.4 Heat pump systems efficiency (warm and hot water)
All heat pumps are at their most efficient when the source temperature is as
high as possible, the heat distribution temperature is as low as practicable
and pressure losses are kept to a minimum.
When designing a heating system, the following operational provisions
should be applied:
System
Supply temperatures
Underfloor heating
30 ºC - 40 ºC (new systems)
30 ºC - 55 ºC (existing systems)
Radiators – high efficiency radiators
with high water volume should be
utilised
40 ºC - 55 ºC
Fan coil units
35 ºC - 45 ºC
Domestic hot water
60 ºC - 65 ºC
Notes:
1.
A supplementary method of water heating should be provided if the
heat pump is not capable of supplying water at these temperatures
during normal operation.
Electrically driven heat pumps should have a coefficient of performance,
calculated using the procedures identified in BS EN 14511 series of
standards, of not less than:
•
2.2 when used for space heating; or
•
2.0 when used for heating domestic hot water.
Electrically driven heat pump systems should also have a notional Seasonal
Performance Factor (SPF) not less than the relevant value identified under
clause C.3 of BS EN 15450: 2007.
Reference can be made to the DECC/Carbon Trust
Energy Technology List
for assistance in identifying equipment with this recommended performance.
A water distribution system should be arranged for reverse return operation
or arranged with a low loss manifold system to maximise efficiency.
6.3.2

6.3.4
domestic | energy | heating system | 2010
6.3.5 Dry central heating systems efficiency
Gas fired warm air systems
For a new gas-fired warm air system, the appliance should meet the
recommendations of BS EN 778: 2009 or BS EN 1319: 1999, depending on
the design of the appliance. The system should be installed in accordance
with the recommendations in BS 5864: 2004. Where a gas-fired circulator is
incorporated in the warm-air unit to provide domestic hot water, it should be
of a type that is able to deliver full and part load efficiency at least equal to
that recommended by BS EN 483: 2000.
Heat pump warm air systems
Refer to guidance in clause 6.3.4 on warm water systems. Minimum
clearances adjacent to all airflow paths, as recommended by the
manufacturer should be maintained. For ground to air and water to air
systems constant water flow should be maintained through the heat pump.
6.3.6 Solar water heating efficiency
Solar water heating has low or zero carbon dioxide emissions and low or no
associated running costs and is inherently energy efficient. Reference may
be made to BS EN 12975: 2006 for information on collector performance for
systems. Location and orientation for optimum energy efficiency and to avoid
overshading should be considered and SAP 2009 takes account of these
issues in order to meet standard 6.1.
The effective solar storage volume of a system should be:
•
at least 25 litres (or equivalent heat capacity) per net m² of the solar
collector absorber area; or
•
a volume (or heat equivalent heat capacity) which is equivalent to at least
80% of the daily hot water demand (Vd) as defined by SAP 2009.
A heat exchanger between a solar primary and secondary system should
provide not less than 0.1 m² or equivalent of heat exchanger area per net m²
of solar collector absorber area.
The electrical input power of a primary pump in a solar system should be
rated at not more than 50 W or 2% of the peak thermal power of the collector,
whichever is the higher.
6.3.7 Micro combined heat and power efficiency
This guidance covers micro-combined heat and power (micro-CHP) systems
with an electrical output less than 5kWe. It is recommended that the system
should be heat-led and capable of exporting electricity to the grid, and
controlled in such a way as to avoid heat dumping.
The maximum Heating Plant Emission Rate (HPER) of a micro-CHP system
(measured in kgCO
2
/kWh) can be determined by dividing the carbon factor
of the fuel used by the minimum efficiency, given in clause 6.3.1, for an
appliance using that fuel. For example, for a gas CHP system, this would be
0.23 kgCO
2
/kWh.
The system HPER should be calculated using the Annual Performance
Method for micro-CHP systems that have been tested according to PAS 67 -
‘Laboratory test to determine heating and electrical performance of heat led
micro-generation packages primarily intended for heating
dwellings
’.
Appendix N of
SAP 2009
provides further information on assessment of
micro-CHP.

domestic | energy | heating system | 2010
6.3.8 Efficiency of heating system circulators
Stand-alone, glandless heating system circulators and water pumps should
be rated at a minimum of Band C in respect of energy efficiency, in
accordance with the Europump Labelling Scheme. Further information is
available at
www.bpma.org.uk
6.3.9 Controls for wet space heating and hot water systems
Independent time and temperature control of heating and hot water circuits
should be provided along with a boiler interlock (refer to table below) to
ensure that the boiler and pump only operate when there is a demand for
heat.
Small
dwellings
Dwellings
with a total floor area of 150 m² or less should be divided into a
minimum of 2 space heating zones, with independent temperature control,
one of which is assigned to the living area.
Large
dwellings
Zone controls are not considered necessary for single
apartment dwellings
.
temperature control of multiple space heating zones is recommended. Each
multi-channel programmer or multiple heating zone programmers. For hot
water systems in large
dwellings
, more than one hot water system should be
considered e.g. a separately controlled second hot water cylinder or heat
source or a separate distribution system from the same cylinder.
Hot water systems
A hot water system (other than for combi boilers with storage capacity 15
litres or less) should have controls that will switch off the heat when the water
temperature required by the occupants has been achieved and during
periods when there is no demand for hot water. For hot water central heating
systems this thermostat should be interconnected with the other controls
which are needed to form a boiler interlock.
Wet gas, oil, electric and
solid fuel systems
The following tables summarise minimum recommendations for controls for
space and hot water gas, oil, electric and solid fuel ‘wet’ central heating
systems (radiators, convectors):
Controls for combis, CPSU boilers, electric boilers
Type of control Means to achieve
Boiler control
Boiler interlock
Automatic bypass valve [1][2]
Time control
Time switch (7 day for space heating)
Full programmer for electric
thermostats or where 'heat bleed' required),
Room
thermostat(s)
Notes:
1.
As advised by boiler manufacturer in conjunction with any
requirements for a minimum pipe length.
2.
An electric flow boiler should be fitted with a flow temperature control
and be capable of modulating the power input to the primary water
depending on space heating conditions.

manufacturer
Notes:
1.
As note 1 to first table.
2.
For solid fuel the level of sophistication of time controls should be
selected to be compatible with the appliance. The highest levels
should only be used for appliances with automatic ignition.
3.
A zone valve is not recommended for a thermal store.
Boiler management
systems
An alternative to the controls shown in the tables above would be a boiler
management control system.
Information and explanations of the various controls and heating types can
be found on the Energy Saving Trust website and in SAP 2009.
Solid fuel boilers
Hot water systems
These should be thermostatically controlled to reduce the burning rate of the
fuel, by varying the amount of combustion air to the fire. For safety reasons, a
suitable heat bleed (slumber circuit) from the system should be formed - for
example, a gravity fed radiator without a TRV or a hot water cylinder that is
connected independent of any controls. For hot water systems, unless the
cylinder is forming the slumber circuit, a thermostatically controlled valve
should be fitted, provided that the appliance manufacturer’s requirements for
dealing with excess heat created during a pump over-run are met.
Gas or oil (twin burner) range cooker central heating boilers
An appliance with 2 independently controlled burners (one for cooking and
one for the boiler) is recommended.
Gas and oil fired fixed independent space heating appliances
Each appliance should be capable of providing independent temperature
control in areas with different heating needs. This could be independent or in
conjunction with
room
thermostats or other appropriate temperature sensing
devices.

6.3.9
domestic | energy | heating system | 2010
Hot water underfloor heating
System temperature
controls
The controls described below should be fitted to ensure safe system
operating temperatures:
a. separate flow temperature high limit thermostat should be used for warm
water systems connected to any high water temperature heat supply; and
b. mixed systems containing both radiators and underfloor heating,
connected to a common high water temperature supply operating at more
than 60 ºC should be provided with a separate means of reducing the
water temperature to the underfloor heating system.
Minimum recommendations for
room
temperature, time and boiler controls
are:
Controls for underfloor heating

unoccupied periods/at night time
Boiler control
Boiler interlock
Notes:
1.
Bathrooms or en-suites which share a heating circuit with an
adjacent bedroom provide heat only when the bedroom thermostat
is activated. In such cases, the bathroom or ensuite areas should be
fitted with an independent towel rail or radiator.
Heat pumps hot water systems
Unit controls
Heat pump unit controls should include:
a. control of water temperature for the distribution system;
b. control of water pumps (integral or otherwise);
c. defrost control of external airside heat exchanger (for air to water units);
d. control of outdoor fan operation (for air to water units);
e. protection for water flow failure;
f. protection for high water temperature;
g. protection for high refrigerant pressure; and
h. protection for external air flow failure (on air to water units).
External controls
Controls which are not integral to the unit should include:
•
room
thermostat to regulate the space temperature and interlocked with
the heat pump unit operation; and
•
timer to optimise operation of the heat pump.
Zone controls are not considered necessary for single
apartment dwellings
.
temperature control of multiple space heating zones is recommended. Each
zone (not exceeding 150 m²) should have a
room
thermostat, and a single
multi-channel programmer or multiple heating zone programmers.
6.3.9
—
6.3.10
domestic | energy | heating system | 2010
Electric storage heaters
Electric storage heater controls should include:
a. charge control: there should be automatic control of input charge, able to
detect the internal or external temperature and adjust the charging of the
heater accordingly; and
b. temperature control: heaters should have manual controls for adjusting the
rate of heat release from the appliance. This may take the form of an
adjustable damper or some other thermostatically controlled means.
Panel heaters
Time and temperature control should be provided using:
•
a programmable time switch and thermostat integral to the appliance; or
•
a separate time switch and separate
room
thermostats.
Electric warm air systems
Time and temperature control should be provided either integral to the heater
or external, using either:
•
a time switch/programmer and
room
thermostat; or
•
a programmable
room
thermostat.
Gas fired warm air systems (without water heating)
Time and temperature control should be provided using:
•
controls outwith the heater: time switch/programmer and
room
thermostat,
or programmable
room
thermostat; or
•
controls integrated with heater: time-switch/programmer and
room
temperature sensor linked to heater firing and fan speed control.
Electric underfloor heating
The guidance relating to hot water underfloor heating should be followed
(disregarding the boiler interlock). For electric storage, direct acting systems
and under-tile systems programmable
room
timer/thermostats with manual
over-ride feature
room
controls are recommended for all heating zones, with
air and floor (or floor void) temperature sensing capabilities to be used
individually or combined. A storage system should have anticipatory
controllers installed controlling low tariff input charge with external
temperature sensing and floor temperature sensing. A manual override
facility should be available for better user control. Controls for storage
systems with
room
timer/thermostats should take advantage of low tariff
electricity except where the system has anticipatory controllers controlling low
tariff input charge with external temperature and floor temperature sensing.
Heat pumps warm air systems
In addition to the controls that are not integral to the unit for heat pump hot
water systems (refer to clause 6.3.9) and the controls b to h for such
systems, warm air system controls should include:
•
control of
room
air temperature (integral or otherwise); and
•
control for secondary heating (if fitted) (on air to air systems).
6.3.10
—
6.3.10
domestic | energy | heating system | 2010
6.3.11 Controls for combined warm air and hot water systems
The first paragraph of the above clause provides guidance on zones for small
and large
dwellings
. However the following controls should be provided in all
cases:
a. independent time control of both the heating and hot water circuits
(achieved by means of a cylinder thermostat and a timing device, wired
such that when there is no demand for hot water both the pump and
circulator are switched off);
b. pumped primary circulation to the hot water cylinder;
c. a hot water circulator interlock (achieved by means of a cylinder
thermostat and a timing device, wired such that when there is no demand
from the hot water both the pump and circulator are switched off); and
d. time control by the use of either:
•
a full programmer with separate timing to each circuit;
•
two or more separate timers providing timing control to each circuit;
•
a programmable
room
thermostat(s) to the heating circuit(s); or
•
a time switch/programmer (two channel) and room thermostat.
6.3.12 Controls for solar water heating
To ensure the safe and efficient operation of a system, controls should be
provided to:
a. optimise the useful energy gain from the solar collectors into the system’s
storage vessel(s);
b. minimise the accidental loss of stored energy by the solar hot water
system, whether originating from solar collectors, cold intake or auxiliary
heat sources;
c. ensure that hot water produced by auxiliary heat sources is not used when
adequate grade solar pre-heated water is available;
d. provide a means of control consistent with the solar system being
inherently secure against the adverse affects of excessive primary
temperatures and pressures;
e. ensure where possible that, where a separate DHW heating appliance is
pre-heated by a solar system, no extra heat is added if the target
temperature is already satisfied from the solar pre-heat; and
f. inform the end user of the system’s correct function and performance at all
times.
Conversions, extensions
and complete systems
•
space heating/hot water system alterations or installations (including new
or replacement appliances) for
conversions
and extensions to the
insulation
envelope; and
•
where alterations are being made to an existing heating/hot water system
or a new or replacement heating/hot water system is being installed in an
thermostatic radiator valves should be installed to all new radiators in an
extension even when the heating is from an existing boiler.
For example, thermostatic radiator valves should be installed to all new
radiators in an extension even when the heating is from an existing boiler.
6.3.11
—
6.3.13
domestic | energy | heating system | 2010
Part systems
If a heating and/or hot water system is being replaced in part, the guidance in
the above clauses should be followed but only as it affects the new or
replaced components of the system. Such alterations should not allow the
heating system as a whole to be downgraded in terms of energy efficiency or
compromised from a safety point of view.
Condensing boilers
There may be exceptional circumstances which make it impractical or
uneconomic to install a condensing boiler as recommended in the guidance
to clause 6.3.1. This can be shown by following the criteria set out in the
(Scotland)
' Where this occurs the minimum SEDBUK efficiencies are: mains
natural gas 78%, LPG 80%, oil combi 82%. Alternatively a replacement back
boiler with a SEDBUK of 3 percentage points less than the above
recommended figures may be installed. In addition existing gas and oil
systems with semi-gravity circulation should be
converted
to fully pumped
systems.
Historic, listed or
traditional
buildings
For historic, listed or traditional
buildings
the guidance in the above clauses
should be referred to taking into account circumstances. In many cases
heating system improvements will be more feasible than any other energy
efficiency measures such as improving wall insulation. Therefore systems
which go beyond these minimum backstop levels may help offset the
deficiency in other areas of energy efficiency and in carbon dioxide emissions
terms.
6.3.14
Conservatories
As a
conservatory
which is heated will be inefficient in energy terms, the
general guidance to
occupiers
is that they should be heated as little as
possible. In view of the fact that heating is often desired particularly at the
start and end of the heating season, any
conservatory
with heating installed
should have controls that regulate it from the rest of the
dwelling
e.g. a
thermostatic radiator valvue (TRV) to each radiator.

Semantic UI is based on the belief that the conceptual building block of websites is not individual HTML tags, but individual interface elements. Interface elements are components like buttons, dropdowns, and modals, elements that structure and contextualize web content. Arranged together in a page they create visual flow which we think of as a website.
Most community debate around componentizing the web seems to be centered around what is the best exchange format for creating web components. This can be thought of as similar to a room full of writers arguing about "What is the best language to compose a novel?". We all know that any great novel, although written in a language that was convenient or familiar for the author, will eventually be translated to many other languages, in a way that still preserves its most important quality, its meaning.
Semantic views the debate on format as a paralyzing impasse to the more critical development of consensus around standards for the meaning and interrelation of user interface elements.

Why Regulators Need to Mandate Open Data Protocols in the Cloud
TechCrunch’s article about Intuit’s decision to shut down Quicken OnLine and not let users migrate their data to the new service Mint.com is an outstanding example of the emerging problem of ‘Data Lock-In’ and an issue which regulators need to get ahead of before its too late.
As the market for ‘Cloud’ services takes off we’re going to witness an explosion of new services whose value proposition is based on managing some aspects of the consumers life on-line. The big buckets already are life-centric services such as health and fitness, personal finances and of course managing you social graph. The expanding roster of new services will be accompanied by an equally large number of failures. That is the natural order of things in new markets. Not all new entrants will find a business model which works or is sustainable over the long term. Regulators need to start thinking about the consumer protection regimes that need to be put in place as this happens.
I was struck by some of the debate surrounding the Intuit issue by the number of folks who think its not a big deal because Quicken On-Line is a ‘Free’ service. That could not be further off the mark. One of the challenges for any new entrant in the crowded market for ‘Cloud’ services will be figuring out how to make their service as ‘Sticky’ as possible. After having invested a great deal to acquire new customers you want to make sure its not easy for them to leave or switch to a competitors service (Ever wonder why its incredibly difficult to dump you mobile provider? It’s called ‘Churn’ and ‘ARPU’)
One way to build ‘Stickiness’ is to ensure that new customers have to invest a significant amount of personal effort to extract the full benefits of the service. In Quicken Online’s case that was the time required to upload banking information and months and months of entering individual financial transactions. Making it easy for customers to export their data from the service would undermine ‘Stickiness’ and therefore increase the likely hood that customers might switch to a competitor’s services. In the highly competitive ‘Cloud’ service market it will be very tempting to find ways to bind users to services by making it difficult for them to take their data and run.
Consumers need to be educated about the dangers of ‘Data Lock-In’ so that they increasingly demand Open Data Access (ODA) from ‘Cloud’ service providers. I think its also about time that government regulators started thinking about mandating ODA for all service providers. These regulations would be a natural extension of existing privacy regulations by enshrining the principle that personal information of any sort belongs to the consumer, not the provider, and the consumer has the right to take that data with them when they leave a service. This would be a direct analog to ‘Number Portability’ requirements in the mobile telephony sector. Service providers would be required to ensure that all consumer owned data can be exported from their service using open standard formats and protocols.
Such a regulatory requirement would protect consumers of the sort of mess now faced by Inuit’s customers. It would also force service providers to focus on broader value proposition of their service rather than relying on ‘Data Lock-In’ as a competitive lever. This focus on ‘Functional’ competition would be a great thing for consumers and the market.


Text-based meme template, with a make-it-brand-centric twist. Some light CSS (and js) knowledge required.
The concept is simple; have a web designer (i.e., someone who can handle visual aesthetics and CSS) layout a brand-centric design template:
It's not Photoshop! It's a quick KISS tool for publishing branded quotes with minimal friction. That's sbout it.
Local
No website necessary. Everything happens in the local browser.
KISS
Less is more, and ezMemeQuote is the mostest of the leastest.
Flexible
Multiple style options can be CSS'ed and then selected by the user / client.
Brand-centric
Define a consistent look that even a bat can stick to.
Text-based
The content is stored as data in a JSON file so it's easy to reuse, find, search against, etc.
Images and anything Abobe-ish - Sure you can have an image background but this isn't about images per se. The need was to generate branded meme-esque quotes with minimal effort and maximum results. Admittedly, the scope here is pretty tight. That sweet spot may or may not work for you.
Clone it / fork it and give it an hour, then make your decision.
Once you clone it / fork it look for the file: product / checklist / TODO.txt.
If you need help TODO.txt is the best place to start.
In addition, each individual is file is small, focused and typically well commented. If you've done some work with HTML, CSS and a bit of Javascript doesn't scare you, then you'll be comfortable with this.
The key bit to understand is that once everything is setup, only the file: product / a-edit-this / my-quotes.js gets edited.
ezMemeQuote uses GitHub for support / issue tracking:
Section includes Known Bugs, Noteworthy TODOs, and Roadmap.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Do I need to use the whole repo?
No. The ezMemeQuote product is in the folder: product. It's the contents of that folder you want to focus on.

I’m a Computer Software Engineering student from Asturias, Spain. This is the webpage of my school, an institution part of the University of Oviedo. 2020/2021 will be my last year there, since all that remains are one subject and my TFG (Trabajo de Fin de Grado / Final Degree Project).
I tend to independence and self-made things, so Linux is my OS of choice. In my free time at the computer I tend to tinker with programs and scripts to automate or simplify tasks, or to give life to random ideas. Here are two screenshots from my main computer: one a typical meme r/unixporn setup, the other the more common bunch of Vim buffers covering the screen.
I used Ubuntu for a short time since it is supposed to be a welcoming distro for noobs. I shortly after swapped to Arch, since I felt that Ubuntu had too many components to freely tinker, build and learn the system. I’ve been using it for the last two years.
I work as a junior software developer at GADD, where I am part of a team developing an online ticketing application.
Some of my work can be found at my GitHub page, both for University and for learning and having fun. There you will find:
I’m currently studying the game of Go. I find it a deep and rewarding game which links with principles of simplicity and efficiency.
My girlfriend lend me her electric guitar, so I’m also trying to learn it (no hurry).
Philosophically I’m interested in stoicism and zen as inspirations to escape from the nihilism and existential dread which permeates our modern society and my generation. Zen also links in surprising ways with the Unix Philosophy, so I can more directly apply it to my field of knowledge.
Also, my sister wanted a cat, so I live with this devil called Leiva. She really likes my chair!
Thank you for reading my page! It’s source code is available here.

Responsive Gilt.com: Selenium Edition!
In our last blog post on responsive design at Gilt, my colleague Greg Mazurek explained why we use in-selector CSS media-queries instead of blocks. The impetus for choosing this pattern was to make our code less brittle to future development. Today I’ll talk about how we’re applying the same principle to our testing practices.
We’ve thought a lot about how we can design our code to minimize–even prevent–unexpected adverse changes made during future development cycles. The Gilt engineering team uses automated testing for all of our apps, but in transitioning to a responsive design environment many of these tests have become inapplicable because page elements have been shifted, hidden, altered, or added. Furthermore, if a developer makes a change to a CSS property for a tablet experience, she needs to know whether this change might adversely affect the mobile web experience. A modified class name, a JavaScript side-effect, or a CSS specificity change are three possible negative consequences of such a change.
To deal with this potential problem, the Special Ops team has been writing Selenium-automated tests for responsive pages–more specifically, for each browser responsive breakpoint. (If you are unfamiliar with Selenium, it is a web testing framework that allows you to automate your web application within the browser. Its robust API interacts with your website the way a user would, and can handle automating most scenarios.) First, we have a browser resize itself to the breakpoint we want to test–for example, iPhones in portrait view fall under a maximum width of 479px, while in landscape its a minimum width of 480px, and a maximum width of 767px. With Selenium, via the web driver object, this is very easy to achieve.
Here is a small snippet of what that code might look like:
def resizeWindow(width: Int, height: Int)(implicit webDriver: WebDriver) = {
webDriver.manage().window().setSize(new org.openqa.selenium.Dimension(width, height))
}
This reusable piece of code is what you’ll want to execute before the start of each test. Execute it before, not after, the initial page load, to ensure your site responds as it natively would at those breakpoints (rather than scaling your site down–which could cause inconsistencies with the view). Executing the code before the initial page load will also help you to ensure the automation doesn’t start before the browser has fully scaled down.
Example
To help you ensure that a page responds correctly to the appropriate viewport of the screen or device, here is a very basic test. It uses Selenium with ScalaTest and a dash of jQuery (there are many ways to test, but this is my preferred way):
describe("When resizing the browser to 479px and navigating to product listing page") {
it("should fit all the elements within the 479px limit") {
val expectedPageWidth = 479
resizeWindow(width = expectedPageWidth, height = 800)
webDriver.navigate().to("http://www.gilt.com/sale/men")
// Using scrollWidth instead of width(), to get the true width of the html container
val actualPageWidth = webDriver.asInstanceOf[JavascriptExecutor]
.executeScript("return $('html')[0].scrollWidth;").asInstanceOf[Long]
actualPageWidth.toInt should be <= expectedPageWidth
}
}
(Note: Your page should not be scrollable to the right.)
That’s all there is to it. If you have no other test, at least this one will ensure your site is still responsive. But we highly recommend adding more specific tests that target the functionality of the site.


The intepreter may be stepped forwards like a debugger. Additionally, by saving a stack of serializations, the interpreter may also be stepped backwards.
Since each serialization consumes about 300 kb of memory, this demo uses Diff Match Patch to only store the deltas between each step.
Click Parse, then click Step ← and/or Step → repeatedly. Open your browser's console for errors.

What I'm up to NOW
- Relocating to California from Colorado - bye bye Boulder!
- Prototyping an application (React JS & Rails API) that mimics one of the best gives I've ever been given. More to come.
- Getting more brave on and more scared of my mountain bike at the same time.
- Trying to study up and figure out an education plan for my kid. She's only 1 yr 4 months but never too early.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
At the intersection of Science, Art, and Business
Software Development is much more than just uploading a website or following a tutorial on Youtube. It's about stakeholder management, needs of the clients, needs of the customers, needs of the business, keeping up with trends in Search Engine Optimization ("SEO"), trends in technology, and anything that interfaces with the website (ordering, stock keeping, production systems), outlines, sketches, user stories, graphics, photography, various marketing tactics, understanding the marketing mix, data, analytics, other business components, and then finally code it.
I started coding during my childhood, made websites while I pursued other interests, then finally decided to go to college for it. After this I worked in a Small/Medium Enterprise (SME) which had a diverse range of clients with widely different requirements, such as PIPEDA and various regulatory requirements related to their respective industries.
However in this industry, Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and discretion in general prohibit my usual style of loading up my website with images. So in the spirit of disclosure in "general and broad terms" here are some of the technologies I have used.
WordPress
WordPress is great for getting a website off the ground faster than a hand-coded website, much faster. Less customization as far as what can be done with it, but when combined with WooCommerce for an e-commerce store, and a well-developed theme such as Elegant Theme's Divi or Extra, and E-mail leads managed through Bloom, Constant Contact, or MailChimp, you can have a great e-commerce site. However, WordPress is built with SEO in mind, so your site can help to rank-up more on Google searches by using the Yoast plugin.
Rolled-by-hand website
Rolling a website by hand is the most time-consuming to build, launch, and update like this website. While it is much more expensive and time consuming to use less automation, it gives the developer complete control over how the website looks and operates, without much vendor lock-in. Good for websites which do not change often. However, if the requirements call for a large website, with very specific requirements, and a budget to match, then a custom, hand-made website may be the only way to accomplish the task. I have built business portals which change their view and how they look dependent upon the user's role, such as if they are an employee, manager, system administrator, or customer. In the past I have used a programming language called PHP, a very popular and widespread programming language for functional websites. I have also had to program for restrictive requirements, such as PIPEDA, Canadian data retention and warehousing requirements, auditable processes, additional security and best practices, no outside code packages, and more.
Shopify
Shopify, Inc provides an interesting offering which allows for more rapid prototyping, always up-to-date and secure underneath, and runs on Google Cloud infrastructure. In some respects it takes slightly longer but allows for easy use, and Google Cloud is hard to beat for uptime, and has sustainability at it's core purpose. As a Shopify Partner I can manage e-commerce websites more effectively.
Software Development
While many things have been relegated to the web browser to task with, and with good reason for security purposes and rapid development, there is still plenty of space for application development running on Windows and Linux operating systems. I use C#, Python, and in the past also C, and C++. I have also tried other programming languages such as Java SE (Standard) and Java EE (Enterprise), but I prefer a less buggy development environment and stack.
Databases
I love databases, they are often very reliable, have many options, and for the most part use Structured Query Language (SQL). SQL is great because it allows a database user to understand one system or another without too much vendor lock-in. Learn SQL, you have a great basis for MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server. Many other database systems exist, many small boutique database systems which are designed for specific use cases. The latest CouchDB boasts that it "scales from bigdata to mobile" which is impressive and is used by some Fortune 500 companies. This uses an extended/updated language called NoSQL which means "Not only Structured Query Language" which is a modern and useful extension and expansion of the existing SQL language. Lastly, SQL, NoSQL, and databases are extremely essential in modern computing, and exist almost everywhere in computing systems.
Graphics, Design, and Photography
Ultimately the world wide web is a visual medium which ideally presents a beautiful and intuitive interface which creates an artistic Human-Machine Interface. Often, a client may need a new logo, new marketing materials, or at least a refresh. I use industry leading Adobe Creative Cloud, as well as free tools such as InkScape, Krita, and GIMP for artwork. Other times, a client may request to hire a 3rd party designer or to start a contest competition to see what the wider artistic community can create, which is best offered by 99designs. Another interesting development in the art world is the use of automation and software libraries to perform image editing on a website, in real-time, my favourite being the famous Canva. More specialised software brings colour grading to photos and video media. Another development is the use of artificial intelligence which can determine with fine accuracy what colour specifications and look up table algorithms to use to enhance the final product. Two of the leading products are LuminarAI and Luminar Neo.
Audio Editing
Audio Editing is often a technical and knowledge-based solution to modifing sound. At its base level, "all things in our universe are constantly in motion, vibrating. Even objects that appear to be stationary are in fact vibrating, oscillating, resonating, at various frequencies. Resonance is a type of motion, characterized by oscillation between two states. And ultimately all matter is just vibrations of various underlying fields." - Tam Hunt. This means that physics and mathematics play an integral part of sound, and is why audio editing and audio engineering are fascinating fields of study. I began my audio editing experience as a student of physics, and later on out of necessity. I principally use Audacity, a free audio editing package, which has received much critism lately as spyware/logware.
Office Software
Microsoft Office, including Microsoft Visio (for diagramming), Microsoft Project (Project Management), are often used for analysis due to its easy of use, and quick prototyping. Microsoft Access is the commonly used database system which integrates with Microsoft Office, however over time Microsoft Office has evolved to use other data sources as well. Not only is Microsoft Office important in software development, but in almost every profession. While I know how to use KingSoft Office and LibreOffice, they are inferior in quality to Microsoft Office. I have also used a variety of random software to accomplish tasks such as renaming batches of files, ingesting video and audio, working with compressed and encrypted files, and so forth.
Full-Stack
The term Full-Stack essentially means a developer who can code the backend (server code and database), front-end (make it look fancy), as well as run and maintain the software which runs the webserver (Apache web server on some flavour of Linux operating system) or network of servers (edge servers, production servers, round robins, DNS, automated database backups, etc.)
The Next Phase
With studying several different fields, knowledge and experience can be combined to create technological solutions which meet even the most demanding business requirements. Combined together, connecting input sources such as drones and weather sensory equipement can help a normal agricultural business to grow faster than their plants. In other new and emergent technologies, such as Data Lakes, a place where a business can transfer all of their data, such as call logs, sales data, video, and more and let Artificial Intelligence sort out the data into usable and actionable business information.


I think it's time that American conservative's start some soul searching of their own. You have to start asking yourselves are the majority of American's really conservative? Think about it. Do conservatives elect people like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to two consecutives terms as president? Seriously? The American people allowed Bill Clinton to lie to a federal grand jury. They allowed his wife to break every law on earth. They allow Barack Obama to violate the constitution on over 30 different ocassions. The American allow the Democrats to instigate the greatest witch hunt in history. They allow the Biden's to violate every Conflict of Interest law on Earth, then instead of prosecuting the Democrats who have broken dozens of laws over the last two years, the American people allow the Democrats to completely defraud the voters in the truly last significant election in this poor countries history. Does that sound like the actions of a conservative majority?
Too many demon rats and rhinos out for themselves and would Sell out our country to fill their own pockets, they are not for the ones that voted them in. President Trump is not one of them and never was.
it "sounds" like Freedom, you sick Ass-wipe!
Obama got in office by election fraud, and most likely so did clinton. And as for Bush Jr, his brother was our governor here in Florida, and I watched and wondered about that election, the democrat candidate Al Gore was ahead by quite a bit, all of a sudden W got "elected" I remember thinking then, they just stole that election. So you see, It doesn't matter, democrat or Republican, they go with the corrupt establishment pick.  We fooled them, not only did we embrace Trump, we gave him a huge landslide victory.
I seen it coming when affirmative action and putting the most qualified to the end of the line and the least to the front of the line in all professions and educational institutions. Just because of race.  Makes your stomach turn. We voted incompetent people who make the rules and laws without due diligence.  Yeah. About that. They successfully added millions of fraudulent votes on the 3rd. Do you really think they won’t do it again in a runoff?
NO COAL, NO STEEL FOUNDRIES. in 1862, Richmond, CSA was impossible to siege. but with the introduction of the first steel-bottom ships [with steel hulls], Richmond was returned to the North. by closing half the Coal mines in the United States, the attempt is now in place to remove the other 1/2, thus turning back the clock on the North's victory, and reinstating Richmond as the Capital of the CSA.

What plan did Republicans set in place to ensure that this is a fair race? We need to get smarter!
It’s not us to us it’s the dominion machines who make the choice! Got away with it once it will happen again.
Turn on Hannity
Liars, cheaters and Traitors will soon learn their destiny!!!
🕊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🕊
Not any more!
Why did we wait until now? Secede. We cannot meet at the table with communists. They will wield all power. Trump cannot hand over military to them
No they aren’t 😀
We can only pray now!!! I understand why Republicans would be hesitant BUT we have to fight and overwhelm them at the ballot box
Dominion machines go brrrrrr!
How could they lose with all the cheating must have Miss calculated

Joseph Petitti is the fearless leader of Team Algol. He wrote the entire front-end (the website you're looking at now) in TypeScript for Google's Angular framework, set up much of the AWS back-end, designed and deployed the API, and spent far too many late nights debugging and testing.
Justin Cheng set up the relational database for the project in AWS, wrote the database access objects, and wrote and tested several of the lambda functions. He was our database expert and wrote all the SQL statements and queries necessary for this web app to work.
Matt Hagan was responsible for getting the initial AWS storage, configurations, and domain set up. As time went on he transitioned to being the EBC Controller lead for this project, working primarily with the Lambdas to ensure that the boundary and entity control flow ran smoothly.
Andrew Levy designed the Algol team logo, as well as some of the HTML of the early project. He kept us on track by writing weekly progress reports. He also wrote, tested, and debugged many of the lambda functions. Also, Andy wanted everyone to know that he has hamsters.
The Algol Meeting Scheduler was created as a final project for CS 3733: Software Engineering, a computer science class at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Although we did some planning in advance, we completed the entire implementation in three weeks, from November 26 to December 14, 2018.
Joe Petitti made the front-end in Angular, a TypeScript-based web application framework developed by Google. The back-end utilizes Amazon Web Services. The web application interfaces with an API set up on AWS, which connects our front-end functions to AWS lambda functions. These lambda functions are Java programs, written primarily by Matt Hagan and Andy Levy, that act as the controllers for our application. The lambda functions are connected to Database Access Objects that use JDBC to connect to a MySQL database, set up and maintained by Justin Cheng, that stores all our data.
