"Knowing the Location" and "Determining the Location" are the essential requirements of constructing a smart building. GPS technology, which is often used for the purpose of positioning, cannot be used efficiently while performing position detection indoors because of the losses occurring in the signal propagation. At the same time, the object of sensors, Bluetooth, IrDA and RFID devices which are commonly used in a building, and bandwidth constraints makes such location detection more difficult because of possible energy consumption and limited memory capacity. Since WiFi technology which will probably be used in nearly all Smart Buildings, Indoor localization algorithms have been surveyed and requirements which are essential for obtaining Internet of Things (IoT) technology have been researched, and a context-based approach for a Smart Building which has got IoT structure is proposed.

Pre-tax profits of pounds 10.4m were at the top end of forecasts and compare with the thumping pounds 47m loss in 1991/92 that forced Stakis into a radical re-think of its trading and financial structures.
Luck, appropriately enough, has played its part. Stakis nearly sold its casinos two years ago. The business is now generating plenty of cash which is being usefully applied to the group's hotels.
Capital expenditure will probably exceed pounds 11m this year but the group should still remain cash- positive. Gearing, even after yesterday's 10 per cent property write- down, is a manageable 45 per cent and the underlying trend is downwards.
On the trading front, Stakis has reported an increase in hotel occupancy levels from 64.7 to 68.5 per cent and suffered only a tiny decline in room rates to about pounds 40.
Casinos are also doing better. There was an increase in the number of punters, accompanied by a small rise in spend per head to pounds 117 for each visit.
While group profits are expected to top pounds 17m this year, the stock market will also look to Stakis to accelerate its recovery back to full corporate health via acquisitions.
The company certainly has the ammunition, in the form of a fully rated share price, to embark on the purchase trail. A p/e of about 17 is testimony to the pent-up demand that exists for Stakis' tightly held shares. Don't be put off by the high rating. The shares are worth buying.Reuse content

INDIANAPOLIS - Couples began waiting as early as 6:30 a.m. at the City-County building to finally get married.
A half hour before doors opened, more than two dozen people were waiting near the clerk's office for the second day of the struck-down ban on gay marriage in Indiana.
And by midday, more than 150 people were waiting in line.
After a federal judge ruled that the state's ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional Wednesday, hundreds of couples flooded county clerk's offices across the state to get married.
By 4 p.m., more than 100 couples were waiting at the Marion County clerk's office alone. Clerk Beth White kept her offices open four hours late Wednesday to accommodate all the gay and lesbian couples that wanted to get married.
The grand total? Roughly 250 marriage licenses were processed Wednesday, and more than 150 weddings were performed at the county clerk's office.
By the end of the day Thursday, 174 additional marriage licenses were issued, bringing the two-day total to 424. Officiants married 139 couples Thursday, bringing the two-day total to 327 weddings.
Marion County, along with many others, began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples almost immediately after the federal judge's ruling midday Wednesday.
Other counties were still waiting to make a decision on allowing same-sex couples to wed. Find a list of Indiana counties and their statuses on gay marriage here.
Many made their happiness known about the decision: Social media was flooded with reaction.
Today is such a beautiful day in Hoosier history! Indiana has legalized gay marriage! 🌈 #IndianaEquality— Megan Maudlin (@MeganMaudlin) June 26, 2014
Waking up this morning in a state with marriage equality is amazing. It seriously feels different. #IndianaEquality— Britannia (@bgilland) June 26, 2014
Local politicians and officials sounded off, as well.
"I hope all Hoosiers can agree that it is time to move on," former Democratic candidate for Indiana governor John Gregg said. "I hope that now we can put our collective energies into improving this economy, strengthening our public education system, investing in needed infrastructure improvements and the litany of other issues that need to be addressed. It’s time to move forward together."
Meanwhile, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller had the state file an appeal on the judge's decision.
"Time is of the essence to stop these marriages by staying this Court's conception of marriage," Zoeller said.

DETROIT (FOX 2) - A sea of once-broken bikes that could have ended up hidden in the garage or in a landfill are now being brought back to life.
More than volunteers who want a child to be able to receive their first bike in time for Christmas.
"It is really exciting," said Bob Barnes. "It is wonderful to give a child their first bike the kids who will come in here on Saturday and Sunday, have never had a bike most of them and so this will be their first bike."
Bikes for Kids Detroit's Executive Director Bob Barnes tells us in just their second year of doing this they have doubled what was donated last year.
For just $30 a bike, and more than 5,000 man-hours to refurbish each ride, 2,200 youngsters will get a bicycle. Most have never ridden one before.
Trevor Smith from Macomb County is one of the people who have volunteered their time to help a child's wish come true.
"I remember being a child and learning to ride a bike and getting a new bike or a different bike, those are big events, those are important events," said Smith.
Detroit is one of 10 cities nationwide that is part of this massive giveaway. All of the kids who will get the chance to pick out a new ride, will have to be pre-registered with the non-profit.
"That sense of independence that kids have can rise that bike and they can ride farther than they have ever been," said Barnes. "So it is really cool to give that opportunity to a child in need but also longer term the health benefits."
But Barnes says none of it would be possible without the volunteers who work tirelessly to make it happen.
"It is very rewarding it see the community to come together to see all the volunteers come in here the mission we strive for to change the child’s life in a sustainable l way and bring the community together to make it happen," he said.
Barnes says they are very grateful to Henry Ford Health System that allowed people to drop off the bikes at its 22 different locations - that made it very convenient for people to help this worthy cause.

SPAIN (OBSERVATORY NEWS) — Almost 200 people have been detained since the protests in Catalonia, triggered by a decision of the Supreme Court against politicians involved in an illegal independence referendum in 2017, said the acting Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande Marlasca on Sunday.
According to the Interior Ministry, during the protests that began on Monday, 288 law enforcement officers were injured, including both members of the national police and city guards, as well as members of Mossos de Escuadra.
“This week’s numbers: 288 employees were injured, 194 detainees (18 are in pre-trial detention), 267 police vehicles were damaged,” said Grande Marlasca.
Rallies, roadblocks, railroad tracks, and riots began in Catalonia on October 14 after the Spanish Supreme Court sentenced 12 Catalan politicians for their involvement in an illegal independence referendum in 2017.
Nine people for the rebellion received sentences ranging from 9 to 13 years in prison, three people were found guilty of disobedience and sentenced to a fine.

The Supreme Court on Friday temporarily blocked a Montana law that had banned corporations from running political ads, but Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the case makes it likely the Supreme Court will have to revisit the Citizens United ruling that has unleashed a flood of ads this year.
“Montana’s experience, and experience elsewhere since this Court’s decision in Citizens United … make it exceedingly difficult to maintain that independent expenditures by corporations ‘do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption,’” Justice Ginsburg said in an opinion released along with the court’s stay of the Montana law. “A petition for certiorari will give the court an opportunity to consider whether, in light of the huge sums currently deployed to buy candidates’ allegiance, Citizens United should continue to hold sway.”
She agreed with the rest of the court in halting enforcement of Montana’s law, saying it violates the Citizens United decision the Supreme Court issued in 2010 that found corporations have First Amendment rights to make their views heard in political campaigns.
That decision meant that business interests, wealthy individuals and unions can now spend freely on ads — though they are still bound by limits on how much they can give directly to candidates for federal office, or to national political parties.
Montana’s law had blocked corporations from spending, and last year the state’s Supreme Court upheld the law, ignoring the Citizens United decision.
Justice Ginsburg said that cannot be allowed, but said it is time the federal courts rethink the Citizens United decision.
Campaign finance legislation championed by Sen. John McCain and former Sen. Russell D. Feingold last decade rewrote the laws to try to rein in the ability of interest groups to run ads during elections, to limit political parties’ spending and to expand the role of candidates in raising and spending campaign money.
The Supreme Court upheld that law, but in 2010 it carved out an exception, saying that outside groups have a First Amendment right to express their viewpoints.
President Obama and fellow Democrats have pushed for Congress to revisit the law and try to impose disclosure requirements on those interest groups, but Republicans have generally resisted.
In the GOP’s presidential primary this year, so-called Super PACs — which are able to raise unlimited money from corporations, unions and individuals — have flooded airwaves with ads.
Earlier this month, Mr. Obama reversed his position and blessed a Democratic-backed Super PAC to compete with the GOP.

Annual house price fall of more than 3% is biggest for 14 years says Nationwide
House prices fell by 0.8% in March and have now dropped by the largest amount year-on-year for more than a decade, according to Nationwide.
The mortgage lender said house prices were down 3.1% year-on-year, the biggest fall since July 2009, with all regions seeing slowing price growth.
The lender said the average price of a home was now £257,122, down 0.8% on the previous month, marking the seventh consecutive month of price falls. The drop compares to a 0.5% fall the previous month.
The gloomy figures from Nationwide come despite positive reports in recent weeks from housebuilders and other lenders who painted a picture of a more stable housing market. Both Rightmove and the Halifax reported month-on-month price rises.
Annual house price inflation fell into negative territory by Nationwide’s reckoning last month, when it reported a 1.1% fall in prices year-on-year. Prices are now 4.6% below the peak seen last August.
Robert Gardner, Nationwide’s chief economist, said: “The housing market reached a turning point last year as a result of the financial market turbulence which followed the mini-Budget.
“It will be hard for the market to regain much momentum in the near term since consumer confidence remains weak and household budgets remain under pressure from high inflation. Housing affordability also remains stretched, where mortgage rates remain well above the lows prevailing at this point last year.”
The mortgage lender said that only four parts of the UK – the East Midlands, the South-west, Northern Ireland and Wales – had seen year-on-year growth in prices, with all other areas seeing price falls. The biggest price falls were in Scotland, East Anglia and the South-east.


In a new video, a sepoy with the Army Medical Corps (AMC) in Gujarat has alleged that the Army officers treat jawans as slaves. The jawan, a native of Maliya-Hatina tehsil of Junagadh district in Gujarat, purportedly released a video, alleging ill-treatment by Army officers, which went viral on the social media on Tuesday. The Army, reacting to the video, said in a release that the concerned jawan had repeatedly indulged in acts of indiscipline and that his allegations were baseless.
Watch What Else Is Making News
In the video, the jawan, who identifies himself as Sindhav Jogidas, is purportedly saying that Army jawans are served the worst quality food despite the country having a huge defence budget. But he says that he doesn’t have proof of the poor quality food. He further alleges that some Army officers mistreat jawans. “Some officers of Army consider jawans as their slaves. Jawans have to do everything. They have no other way. The one who speaks out is gone because Army rules are very strict…. If we refuse to perform some duty or break a rule, we are fined. But when officers break rule, there are no rules,” the jawan is heard complaining in the video.
He further claims in the video that he took leave in January 2016 and went to Prime Minister’s office as well as the office of the Defence Minister with complaints, but did not get any response. He again took leave in October last year and went to PMO one more time, but failed to get any response. Instead, he claims in the video, that a court of inquiry was ordered against him and he was “harassed” for an year. In January this year, he went to Army headquarters, but he was prevented from going inside. He then wrote a letter to Army Chief General Bipin Rawat, but got no reply. Instead, he was served a chargesheet because he had complained against officers and that he was fined, the video purportedly shows the jawan as saying.
However, in a release, the Army said that the allegations levelled by the jawan against officers were baseless and that he had been repeatedly found not adhering to discipline. The release stated that the Army had investigated the matter after the video went viral and found that Sindhav, who is employed in AMC as a housekeeper, had been booked for indiscipline twice during his service of three years.
After Sindhav approached Army headquarters to complain against the officers at MH Ranikhet, a one-man-inquiry found his actions in violation of chain of command and established the chain of correspondence of the Army. He was awarded 14-day pay fine for this indiscipline.
The release added that as requested by Sindhav for a field posting, he was transferred to MH in Leh and was dispatched on February 27. Presently, he is in transit to his place of posting, said the release. The number which the sepoy shares in the video was switched off.

A rare, sweat-drenched rock show with Mark, Tom, and Travis
Blink-182 are big enough to rock the Barclays Center, but swinging through Brooklyn last night, they had something else in mind. The Music Hall of Williamsburg is usually reserved for buzz bands, established indie acts, and nostalgia tours, but Blink-182 was never one to play by the typical rock rules -- last night they nearly tore the place down with a intimate, frenzied performance for a tightly packed room of diehard fans.
After 2011's "Neighborhoods" failed to reignite their Hot 100 heyday, a lesser band might have fallen into that dreaded nostalgia act territory. But Blink-182 are too self-aware, too open about what they're trying to accomplish to succumb to that fate. Their Music Hall performance wasn't a stroll down memory lane; it was a full-fledged rock show played to rabid Blink fans, mostly 20-somethings, but ones who moshed, crowd surfed, and shouted along the lyrics like they had just popped 1997's "Dude Ranch" into their Walkmans.
The early stages of the show were a mix of essentials from before their 2005 hiatus ("Feeling This" opened the set in frenzied fashion) and highlights from their major label swan song (2011's "Neighborhoods") and last year's underrated self-released EP, "Dogs Eating Dogs." Plenty of power trios tack on touring musicians when they've reached this level of success, but for Blink, it's still about the Mark, Tom, and Travis show. Even songs with more of a studio treatment -- like their 2003 hit "I Miss You" -- felt fleshed out and full with Travis Barker's breakneck virtuoso drumming and the crowd's constant sing along effectively serving as additional instruments.

Cordless drill motors are based off one of the earliest designs for motors; that is the brushed DC motor. The magnet-based motor requires direct voltage to make the motor work. Normally, this requires a plug that would render drill "corded." With the invention of rechargeable batteries though, removable battery packs have enabled the drill to be cordless.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Brushed DC Motors
The advantages of brushed DC motors is that its design is easy to understand; its speed is easy to control; its torque is easy to control and it has a simple/cheap drive design. Because the field created by the motor is constant, the relationship between torque of the motor and the speed of the motor is linear.
The disadvantages of brushed DC motors is that they are expensive to produce; at lower speeds the control of the motor is not reliable; it is larger than most motors; requires regular maintenance and makes dust during operation. Excessive heat or physical abuse of the cordless drill can loosen and weaken the fields of the motor.
A permanent magnetic field is created in the stator--the external part of a motor. This is achieved with either permanent magnets or electro-magnetic windings. Opposing the stator field is the armature field, which is achieved by an electromagnetic flux coming from the rotor. The magnetic poles contained within the armature field will try to line with the opposite magnetic poles in the stator, but the commutator--which is made up of conductive graphite-copper brushes on the rotor--flips the polarity of the stator rings. Therefore, the magnetic poles never settle on the opposite polarity because of the graphite-copper brushes and the poles spin; creating perpetual motion until it is stopped by cutting off electricity to the motor.
Speed control in brushed DC motors is easy to manipulate. The higher the armature voltage, the faster the rotation.The generated voltage is directly proportional to the speed of the brushed DC motor; when the motor speed controller is used, it affects the voltage sent to the motor. Brushed DC motors also contain heat dissipation features, which prevent overheating as the motor rotates faster.
Brushed DC motors offer an ease in torque control. Output torque in a brushed DC motor is proportional to the current to within the motor. If the current in the motor is limited, the torque--proportionally--becomes limited. The ease of torque control in brushed DC motors increases the span of objects it can be used on--from heavy machinery to textile manufacturing.
The sensitive torque and sensitive speed design electronics are easy and cheap to manufacture. Low horsepower DC motors are available from $50 to $100 apiece. Larger brushed DC motors are available in varieties of up to a few hundred horsepower. While the brushed DC motors that are higher in horsepower have superior performance, AC motors are available in similar horsepower ratings but at lower costs.

SAYING GOODBYE TO SUMMER! .......................NORTHWEST ADVENTURES! 😀
Saying goodbye to Summer!😎
The days are getting shorter, and the shadows are getting longer!
Even Liz and Silvertop’s “Grand dog” Phoenix, has her warm orange coat on!☺
Early this morning Silvertop turned off the electric and cracked the water drain valve open on our hot tub……
It was time………..🙄
The water was crystal clear, it smelled clean, and the temperature was hovering about 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
I stood there watching steamy hot water flow through a garden hose into our backyard…..😳
You never know how Winter will play out in the Pacific Northwest.
We could have a somewhat mild Winter with no snow, or like last Christmas Eve, we could have close to zero degrees, with a nor’easter blowing frigid attic air!🥶
It was best to empty the hot tub!😇
I wanted to check out a small pond near our trailhead on today’s hike.
Even in the late afternoon the grass in the field was frosty!😮
Not many know of this pond.
Everyone hikes past the larger pond that you can see in the second to last photo, and continue uphill into the Mountains!
Silvertop spotted trails through the tall grass, probably deer, heading to the smaller pond.
Well someone knows there’s a pond back here!😇
Both ponds are now frozen solid.
A small creek feeds this smaller pond allowing some open water for the wildlife to drink.
That’s why they come here……………..
The dear are also protected here, this is part of a land trust.
The only “hunters” here are the Cougars!
I watched the trail ahead of me as I hiked through the tall grass.😽
This is actually the perfect bedding area for both deer, and Cougars!😳
Looks like it’s only Silvertop here today, that’s a good thing!😇
I only had minutes before Sundown…………..
Time to head out of the woods, and back home!😀
Too bad Silvertop drained the hot tub, I could use a hot soak right about now!😀
Is it Spring…. yet Lol!🤣
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😀

Today I present to you an interesting challenge: what if you only kept thirty books?
I recently moved and it was exhausting. I had plenty of time before the move took place to go through things and get rid of stuff I didn’t want to bring. And I certainly availed myself of this opportunity.
But even after moving, as I unpack and put things in their new places, I am still noticing things that I would like to get rid of.
Moving really does put into perspective just how much *stuff* you have, doesn’t it? And if you’re lucky it also reveals things that you could definitely do without. Like all of those kitchen gadgets you never use or that shirt you bought with the best of intentions or, yes, books. Especially books you’ve already read.
The Birth of a Challenge
I was recently talking with a friend about how much I am loving my new home and how I am embracing all of the open space and how desperately I don’t want to clutter it all up again.
Yet I have one more box of books still stored at my parents’ house (not to mention the shelves upon shelves of books that are upstairs in my old room). But I’m out of shelf space. And I don’t necessarily want to get another shelf.
Out of this eventually grew a challenge.
First, it was: what if you only kept thirty books? You know, Marie Kondo’s suggestion that we only keep thirty books in the whole house.
Well, OK, there’s A LOT of books I own that I haven’t read yet that I fully intend on reading at some point. I could probably get rid of some unread physical books that I also have a digital copy of, but I’m not ready to just write off the sunk cost of acquiring these books just yet.
Finally, we came to what thirty books that you’ve already read would you keep?
I had about half an hour before a meeting and I didn’t feel like being productive, so I decided to start compiling my list, thinking it would take a long time and require many different drafts.
Surprisingly, nope. I finished making my list of thirty books with time to spare. I didn’t even have to swap out the books I wrote in pencil as ones I’d get rid of if I needed room for a different book that was a definite keeper.
My Thirty Books: An Analysis
I could share all of the books on my list, but I’m not going to.
Something about this challenge feels very personal and illuminating. Not just of one’s reading tastes and priorities, but of one’s personality. These are books that you’ve actually read from cover to cover, so there’s no hiding behind the books you aspire to have read.
I will say that of my thirty books, sixteen were by women authors, which made me happy.
All of them were written in the 20th and 21st centuries, which doesn’t surprise me. They were—with one exception—all American authors, which also is not a surprise. There was not as much diversity as there should be, which is disappointing, but that gives me something to strive for going forward.
It’s also pretty evenly split between fiction and nonfiction. One play. Zero short story or poetry collections. Twelve novels, one kids’ book, seven essay collections, two biographies, three memoirs, and four nonfiction books that are kind of hard to classify.
Whew! I checked my math and fortunately, that adds up to thirty.
I haven’t sat with this list for very long, but I think I could learn some more about myself from this list of thirty books. Especially once I poured a glass or two of wine.
Try the Thirty Books Challenge Yourself
Just for fun, why not try the thirty books challenge yourself?
Look at the books you’ve read—like actually read, not just pretended to read—and narrow it down to thirty.
Once you have your list of thirty books, ponder these questions:
- Do you read a lot of the same genre of books?
- What is the demographic breakdown of the authors on your list?
- Where can you broaden your horizons?
- How do you feel about your list? Is it reflective of the kind of reader you want to be? If not, what could you do differently?
- What do you think this list says about you?
If you’re feeling bold and adventurous, feel free to drop some of your observations about your own list of thirty books into the comments.

Singapore’s first case of monkeypox infection has been confirmed by Singapore authorities, imported by a 38-year-old Nigerian who arrived on 28 April 2019 and tested positive for the virus on 8 May 2019. The man is suspected to have contracted the rare virus from eating bush meat at a wedding in Nigeria before flying to Singapore. Based on Ministry of Health of Singapore investigation and contact tracing thus far, 23 persons have been identified as close contacts of the patients, of whom five are Singapore residents.
Potential of Transmission
Monkeypox can be spread though close contact with the blood, bodily fluids or lesions of infected animals such as rodents and monkeys. The virus can also be contracted by eating meat of such animals that was improperly cooked. Human-to-human transmission Is possible through close contact with an infected person or with objects recently contaminated by their bodily fluids. Symptoms include lesions, fever, muscle ache, swollen lymph nodes and chills. According to the US Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention, outside Africa, monkeypox infections have only been reported in the United States, Britain and Israel.
Response from the Government of Indonesia
Batam, about an hour’s ferry ride from Singapore, is taking steps to prevent a potential monkeypox outbreak after Singapore reported its first case of the rare virus. Indonesian authorities have readied two hospitals, namely the Batam Free Trade Zone Hospital and Embung Fatimah Public Hospital, as the main treatment centres for suspected monkeypox patients. Thermal detectors have also been set up at five international ports connecting Singapore and Batam.
In response to the potential contagion, the government has conducted the following efforts:
- The ministry of Health has issued circular letter of the transmission alertness to provincial and district health offices, port health offices, hospitals, and primary health centres across countries.
- Providing risk communication to mass media to educate and inform public how to prevent themselves from the infection.
- Providing public health emergency operation center ready for 24 hours to respond to any report from the public regarding monkeypox cases.
Suggested Preventive actions
- Avoid contact with animals that could harbor the virus (including animals that are sick or that have been found dead in areas where monkeypox occurs)
- Avoid contact with any materials, such as bedding, that has been in contact with a sick animal.
- Isolate infected patients from others who could be at risk for infection.

Travellers with symptoms on board a conveyance
There is a possibility that a person who has been exposed to Monkeypox virus and developed symptoms may board a commercial flight or other mode of transport, without informing the transport company of his/her status. Such travellers should inform the crew about their symptoms and recent travel history, so that necessary arrangements can be made for medical assistance upon arrival, and further transmission can be prevented. Information of close contacts of this person on board aircraft (e.g. passengers one seat away from ill traveller on the same flight including across an aisle, and crew who report direct body contact with the ill traveller) should be obtained through collaboration with various stakeholders at points of entry (e.g. airline reservation system) in order to undergo contact tracing.

This is a poem that was dedicated and given to the Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana Nicholaevna by a friend when they were imprisoned inside the Impatiev House in Siberia. I found it moving in light of the family' situation.
Give patience, Lord, to us Thy children
In these dark, stormy days to bear
The persecution of our people,
The tortures falling to our share.
Give strength, Just God, to us who need it,
The persecutors to forgive,
Our heavy, painful cross to carry
And Thy meekness to achieve.
When we are plundered and insulted
In days of mutinous unrest
We turn for help to Thee, Christ-Savior,
That we may stand the bitter test.
Lord of the world, God of Creation,
Give us Thy blessing through our prayer
Give peace of heart to us, O Master,
This hour of utmost dread to bear.
And on the threshold of the grave
Breathe power divine into our clay
That we, Thy children, may find strength
In meekness for our foes to pray.
This was found by the Whites after the family had been shot. It was found in one of Olga's books. The Whites arrived too late to save the Tsar and his family from the Red executioners...

Hermit crabs are commonly kept as aquarium pets. They are nocturnal animals that are very active when healthy. They like to climb and explore new surfaces. Making nets for their environment not only provides the crab with a climbing surface but can also make their enclosure more visually pleasing. Change the location, shape and hanging arrangement of climbing nets often to give the crab new and interesting things to do so it stays active and healthy.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Easy
Things you need
- Knitting needles
- Hemp string
- Cotton yarn
Tie a slip knot. This will keep the yarn firmly attached to the needles while you are working.
Slip the loop of the slip knot over the needle you will hold in your right hand, if you are right-handed. Pull on the working strand of yarn, which goes to the skein, to tighten the loop.
Cast on stitches. The number of stitches you cast on will determine the width of your net. For a narrow ladder shaped net, knit on five stitches. For a large square net that can be draped like a hammock knit 20.
Knit loosely into your cast on stitches. If you knit too tight there will not be room in the stitches for the hermit crab to get its pincers in the loops.
Slide a stick in the loops that are on the knitting needles while sliding them off of the needle. The stick will lay on the floor of the aquarium.
Run the tail back through the last loop and tie a knot to finish the knitting and prevent it from unravelling.
Attach suction cups to the corners of the net at the other end. Tie the suction cups to the knit net using some of the remaining yarn. The suction cups will stick to the side of the aquarium.
Tips and warnings
- Use undyed cotton or untreated hemp string to knit. Anything chemically treated or dyed can irritate your crab's body tissues or poison him when consumed.
- Use between size 13 and 17 knitting needles. The larger the knitting needle size the larger the holes in the net will be.

He won the Beanpot in 1989 as Harvard took a 9-6 victory over Boston University, but tonight, he will take part in something that’s never happened in the tournament’s 60-year storied legacy.
For the first time, all four coaches have played in the Beanpot for the teams they are coaching (Jack Parker - BU, Jerry York - BC, Jim Madigan - NU, Ted Donato - HU) and the group has combined for eight titles.
Along with Donato’s title, Parker won three straight from (1966-68), while York won back-to-back titles in 1964 and 1965 and Madigan won two in 1984 and 1985.
“Being able to coach in it with coaching legends like Jack Parker, Jerry York and a great guy this year in Jim Madigan, it’s an honor,” Donato said. “It’s not often you get to realize the dream of not only being able to play in the Beanpot, but to be associated year after year has really been extra special.”
But for Donato, who spent nine of his 13 NHL seasons with the Boston Bruins (1991-98, 03-04), his dreams of playing in the Beanpot fostered long before he attended Harvard.
Donato, who grew up in Dedham and is the all-time leading scorer at Catholic Memorial High school in Roxbury, always dreamed of playing in the tournament.
“My Beanpot experience really starts as a kid watching it on T.V.,” Donato said.
“The many street hockey games pretending to be one of the Beanpot schools, and we used to play hand hockey back then with socks inside the house when it got cold out.
“To go from there, and then being one of four boys and to be the first to have a chance to play in the Beanpot was really special. I felt I was carrying the torch so to speak and really it was special to be there as a player.”
Tonight, Donato will get to watch his dreams unfold in front of the TD Garden crowd and to him, a win would make it that much sweeter.
“Success in the Beanpot means a lot of things for the players, for the school itself, and it really adds to the overall excitement,” he said. “It’s been far too long since we have won (1993) and I think it’d be a great boost to us to win.”Cross tries for one more title
Boston College defenseman Tommy Cross
has played his share of thrilling Beanpot games.
After BC finished third during his freshman season, Cross and the Eagles won the next two straight titles, highlighted by last season’s nail-biting 7-6 overtime win against Northeastern University.
Tonight, Cross will try to help his team punch a ticket to next Monday’s championship game against the winner of the Harvard/Boston University game when they face Northeastern in the first round at 8 p.m.
“It’s just as exciting every year,” Cross said at January's annual Beanpot Luncheon. “You almost get more excited for it as you get older just because it’s my last Beanpot.
"You want to cherish it and I know everyone on our team is excited and we’re looking forward to it and we want to have a good first game against Northeastern and give ourselves a chance to win a trophy.”Cross, who was selected by the Boston Bruins
in the 2007 draft (35th overall), said he expects a tough battle against the Huskies, who tend to play BC extremely well.
This season, the two have met three times, including once at Fenway Park, and the Eagles have won all three by one goal.
“All games that could have gone either way so we’re going to have to play really well," said Cross. "They play really well as a team, they work real hard so we have a lot of respect for them.
"We’re definitely going to try and play our A-game and give ourselves a chance to win.”
Cross’ favorite Beanpot moment as a fan was watching Nick Petrecki score the game-winning goal in 2008 as BC beat Harvard 6-5. But as a player, nothing can top last year’s championships game against NU, and also when Cross scored the game-winner in the semi-finals against BU.
Nonethless, Cross said he expects another great tournament and he’s excited to play in the TD Garden, a place he’s become quite familiar with between the Beanpot and Hockey East playoffs.
“I love playing here, all the guys on our team love playing here,” he said. “It’s a great venue – the crowd’s always great and it’s such a big event in Boston.”Fallstrom focused on Terriers
It’s been 19 year’s since the Harvard Crimson have won the coveted Beanpot title.
Last year, the Crimson picked up an enthusiastic 5-4 win over the Boston University Terriers in the consolation game, and in the first round of the tournament, Bruins prospect
Alex Fallstrom and Harvard will battle BU at 5 p.m. for a chance at advancing to the final.
“It’s just a great atmosphere to play in, I love playing in that rink,” Fallstrom said, who was drafted by the Bruins in the 2009 Draft (116th overall). “Of course it’s going to be great to play BU. We played them (Jan. 14) and unfortunately we lost in overtime [4-3].
“It’s going to be a great opportunity to play them again and hopefully get a win so we can play in the championship for the first time since I got to the school.”--- Anthony Gulizia

As some of you may or may not know, I work for a computer store in the St. Charles area. I'll keep this fairly anonymous, because I don't want to get my employer in any kind of hot water.
We, from time to time, find good deals on laptops at other retailers in the area and purchase them to resell here. Most of the time they will have a purchase restriction like one per customer, usually enforced by name, address, or phone number look up. Depending on the deal, we will sometimes try to get around this by having everyone in the shop order one individually, and sent to our home addresses. Not the most scrupulous business practice, but I'm certain that damn near every other small business in existence does the same kind of thing.
We tried this with a recent laptop sale at Office Max. The owners each ordered one (one to the office and one to a home address). The office and sales managers also each ordered one, to their home addresses. All but one of the orders were canceled. The reason for the three cancellations? OfficeMax said that the names of the people making the orders were associated with our company's name, and that their sales policy says that we are not allowed to purchase goods for resale.
The owner, when discussing her purchase , asked, "What if the laptop is for one of my sales staff to use in the business?" They told her that no, since we are a reseller, we cannot purchase laptops from them.
Does it sound like a sound business practice for a company, called OfficeMax, that primarily sells office supplies to refuse to sell products to a business? With an office?
It's not like I shop there very often, but I think from now on, I'm going to make a point of not shopping there.

All I want for Christmas is a business magazine with a CEO list
by Chris Roush
TheDeal.com executive editor Yvette Kantrow writes Friday about all of the end-of-the-year business magazines coming out with lists of the top CEOs and leaders.
Kantrow wrote, “The parade began with Corporate Leader’s debut issue last month, which gave us ‘The Best CEOs in America’; was followed by ranking-obsessed Fortune’s ‘Power 25 List’; and included the newly list-happy U.S. News & World Report’s ‘America’s Best Leaders.’ Wading through all these random rankings â€” accompanied by breathless profiles and overly serious explanations of bogus methodologies â€” left us yearning for last year’s version of Fortune’s Power List, when the magazine wisely ‘decided to eliminate rankings’ and provide instead photo portraits of 25 big machers, unencumbered by any hype-infected text.
“Indeed, this is the first time in a while that Fortune produced a traditional ranking for its Power List, having taken a strange detour in 2005 to publish ’25 People We Envy Most’ in its place. As ridiculous as that list was â€” and with names like Sean Hannity, Burt Rutan (who?) and Jake Burton (who again?), it was pretty ridiculous â€” Fortune’s impulse to eschew a traditional ranking of the powerful was a good one.
“Just take a look at its 2004 offering to see why. Coming in at No. 7 was recently deposed Citigroup Inc. CEO Chuck Prince, who was lauded for showing ‘great skill running the world’s largest financial services company.’ Ousted Merrill Lynch & Co. chief Stan O’Neal came in at No. 20 and was hailed as a ‘visionary.’ Of course, their departures don’t negate the fact that these two wielded power back in 2004, when they headed major institutions. But their current situations show what an amorphous concept power can be.”
