The document discusses Halloween traditions like dressing in costumes and the popularity of pumpkin spice lattes. It notes that Halloween allows women to express sexuality through suggestive costumes and that 200 million pumpkin spice lattes sold by Starbucks annually generates around $1 billion in revenue for the company, showing the financial success of seasonal drinks. It questions whether people's priorities are misplaced when working long hours for startups while simple products like the latte are very profitable.
This short document discusses three topics in a humorous way. It first talks about loving change because doing laundry is difficult when coins disappear. It then jokes about using multiple credit cards while being single to avoid the costs of marriage. Finally, it recommends watching the movie Pulp Fiction.
This document is a curriculum vitae for Mohammed Thousif, an electrical engineer based in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. It summarizes his professional experience including roles as an electrical site engineer for Reliance Jamnagar Oil Refinery and as an electrical engineer for several thermal power plant projects in India. It also lists his educational background, computer skills, personal qualities, and contact information.
This document appears to be promoting a collection from an autumn/winter 2016 line that focuses on themes of nature, beauty, and clean living. Key themes highlighted include iconic beauties, bathing in beauty, back to nature, pure perfection, colouring your world, and designs for living. The collection encourages following the brand on social media and their website for more information.

The document discusses how reputations and reliability of individuals and organizations can deteriorate over time. It describes seeing the rise and fall of people who start with good intentions but eventually put themselves above others. The game of seeking more power and success is rough and cutthroat. People will question and doubt any new money-making ideas or missions. Maintaining a sharp mind is important to withstand criticism from various angles as one works to achieve their goals.
Measuring normalized areal density of pore/fiber volume fraction through imag...Trevor Aguirre, E.I.T.
This presentation is used as guideline to compute the normalized areal density or volume fraction through image processing in ImageJ.
This analysis can be used to compute the area of pores in images of porous ceramics or metals, cell density in cell growth studies, fiber volume fraction in fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites, and other studies where you are interested in the amount (percentage) of one object distributed in another. This steps outlined in this analysis can also be used to measure particle size and be used to create histogram of the particle size distribution. For those purposes further post processing the data is necessary.
This document discusses various societal issues and how people view them differently. It presents opposing views on topics like science, music, politics, food, and religion that some people respect but others misuse. The document suggests that the truth about many complex issues lies somewhere between extreme views, and life often involves battling between opposing extremes rather than intellectualizing everything. It provides a table comparing characteristics of things from excellent to very bad according to what fans and haters believe.
The document discusses American hypocrisy regarding raising the minimum wage and job losses. While some claimed raising the minimum wage would hurt businesses, they celebrated a move that may also lead to job losses. The document also mentions how some men claim to focus on science but can be distracted from their goals, like by a photoshoot for a car magazine.
El documento describe la Semana de Mayo de 1810 en Buenos Aires, que condujo a la formación de la Primera Junta de Gobierno el 25 de mayo y marcó el comienzo del proceso hacia la independencia de Argentina del dominio español. La captura del rey Fernando VII de España llevó a los criollos a solicitar un cabildo abierto para decidir la forma de gobierno, lo que resultó en la creación de la Primera Junta y el primer gobierno patrio argentino el 25 de mayo de 1810.
Introduction to flexible manufacturing system (fms)Nilraj Vasandia
This document provides an introduction and overview of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). It discusses the key components of an FMS, including workstations, material handling and storage systems, and a computer control system. The objectives of an FMS are described as flexibility in production, automation and integration, reduced lead times, higher productivity, lower manpower needs, and reduced material handling. Different classifications of FMS are presented based on the number of machines, flexibility, and layout type. Advantages include higher utilization rates and flexibility, while limitations include high costs. FMS are applied to products with medium quantities and variety.
Presentataion Oil&Gas Telecommunications Conference - Radio LInk Project Andrea Vallavanti
The document describes the Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) Toscana offshore LNG terminal located 12 miles off the coast of Livorno, Italy. It discusses the technical details of converting an LNG carrier into an FSRU with a regasification capacity of 3.75 bcm/a. It outlines the challenges of establishing a reliable radio link between the moving FSRU and the onshore base in Livorno to address the FSRU's communication needs. A two-hop radio link solution using Aviat and 4RF equipment was implemented to overcome issues like multipath fading and limited antenna heights. Significant infrastructure upgrades were required on both the FSRU and onshore sites.
1) The FSRU Toscana is a floating storage and regasification unit anchored 22km offshore between Livorno and Pisa, Italy.
2) The initial communication link between the FSRU and shore had insufficient bandwidth and challenges due to the long distance over water.
3) The final solution installed three connection points - one onshore, one at a 900m elevation rebound point, and one on the FSRU itself - creating a 75km link instead of the initial 22km and overcoming line of sight issues.

It discusses the technical details of converting an LNG carrier into an FSRU with a regasification capacity of 3.75 bcm/a. It also outlines the challenges of establishing a reliable radio link between the moving FSRU and the onshore base in Livorno to enable communication and data transmission. This involved installing antennas on a new radar mast on the FSRU, using a rotary joint and intermediate repeater to overcome obstacles. Authorization was required from authorities to use the necessary frequencies without interference.
