Therefore, we recommend that you start your testing process as follows: If your enterprise primarily uses Internet Explorer 8 or Internet Explorer 7, start testing by using Enterprise mode.

If your enterprise primarily uses Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 9, start testing by using the various document modes. Important Enterprise mode takes precedence over document modes.

You can use document modes to control the way Internet Explorer interprets and displays your webpage.

To specify a specific document mode for your webpage, use the meta element to include an X-UA-Compatible header in your webpage, as shown in the following example.

In this example, the X-UA-Compatible header directs Internet Explorer to mimic the behavior of Internet Explorer 7 when determining how to display the webpage. This means that Internet Explorer will use the directive or lack thereof to choose the appropriate document type. Because this page does not contain a directive, the example would be displayed in IE5 Quirks mode. Update: This tag can also be in an intermediate page that the iframe points to and it all works fine Update 2: This solution does not work in IE For some strange reason IE8 sets the "compatibility view" for all the intranet sites:.

So I couldn't see the "compatibility view" button next to my URL bar. No my site intranet site is shown in standard mode and everything works as expected. Thanks Microsoft cause, once again, I've wasted a few hours for your silliness.

I've tested it and it works even if you have " Display intranet sites in Compatibility View " active. A website must not necessarily look the same in every browser. Plus MS filters are crap. Standard : white-space: pre always works. Standard : CSS requires most values to have a unit. However, in quirks mode all browsers automatically append the unit px to unitless values. Standard : The. Standard : An image has display: inline by default. Therefore it has a slight space below it, because the image is placed on the baseline of the text.

Below the baseline there should be some more space for the descender characters like g, j or q. In quirks mode img has a default display: block , while in really strict mode it has a default display: inline. Note that the strict mode test page is in "really strict mode" instead of the "almost strict mode" I use on the rest of this site. See above for more information on almost strict mode. Standard : When you give an element a fixed height and an overflow: visible which is the default anyway , and the content is too long for the element, the content should flow out of the element.

IE 6 always stretches up the element to accomodate all the content, regardless of rendering mode. In quirks mode, however, IE tries to honour a width by giving the element display: inline-block , which does allow a width declaration. The iPhone in Quirks Mode seems to make the text slightly smaller than the normal body text, although the Strict Mode text is smaller still.

About Settings Related Abstract This case is intended to provide an insight into the privatisation of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited PTCL which was part of a larger government policy for the generation of foreign exchange reserves, controlling the corruption element, and creating efficiency through privatisation of public entities to foreign investors.

The privatisation process of PTCL started in and finally ended in with the sale of 26 percent of the shares to Etisalat of the United Arab Emirates guaranteeing its management control. The privatisation took place amid controversies of corruption by the government and opposition from the masses against the sale of a national strategic asset.

The winning bidder was given concessions in the form of time relaxation in the payment of bid money, as well as a revision of the bid price. Moreover, these arrangements were kept secret from the public in the larger national interest. This case covers issues related to: 1 the procedure of privatisation; 2 the sale of a national crucial asset; 3 breach of contract by Etisalat and secret re-agreements between the concerned parties; 4 the reservation of employees towards the change and their re-employment; and 5 the efficiency of PTCL before and after privatisation.

Corruption in the Name of Privatization. Incompetent SEVP's , no focus on customer, very pathetic customer service. Farooq Siddiqui. Please provide list of the disputed properties and their value. Who signed the papers for transfer of the non-existent properties? If they are alive, they should be called and questioned and penalized for this gross oversight which has caused the country dearly.

Ash Man. Very interesting. Abba leo. No body listened to Faisal Raza Abidi, he keeps pointing on irregularities in deal. Jan 03, am. In a land of ghost schools and ghost rest-houses, is it any surprise.

Now the government will go to court to secure payment for non-existent properties. No judgetest why should it be no. Chief Justice didn't listen to ex-senator Faisal Raza Abidi. While cost of every other commodity in Pakistan is rising at an exponential pace, here is a service where price is constantly declining enabling the poor masses to communicate.

What good is an enterprise, public or private, where consumers are fleeced for profits? I think the author has disregarded the fact that since , Pakistani telecom market has grown far more competitive.

Fixed line operators have a hard time competing with wireless where there is little maintenance cost. If PTCL was under government control it would have met the same fate which befell other state owned enterprises. In a society where nepotism is rife it would have been only a matter of time before cronies and blue eyed boys of the ruling regime called the shots at PTCL.

GoP should concentrate on getting these white elephants privatized rather than debating earlier privatization decisions. Kamal has written an excellent article about PTCL however one thing that I Believed was missing was a true comparison PIA was an even better example, but not to be political at all we have seen that whenever a democratic govt takes over it rewards its workers by getting them hired in govt institutions, PIA, PTCL Pakistan Steel has been lucky in this regard due to its location to some extent to name the few.

I believe if someone can evaluate the performance within the country between other institutions that would provide a fair comparison. The UAE doesn't care about any "brotherly relationship" with Pakistan They do give charity to Pakistan but we wouldn't need it if they dealt fairly with us in such transactions.

FDI and the selling of national assets to foreigners is a criminally insane policy to begin with. I have worked in the industry for over 11 years and I can't disagree more with author's analysis. I am surprised that such a biased and factually incorrect analysis was posted to drive home the point that SOEs are better run. Some of the comments have accurately pointed out that the article is superficial in analysis and the author has cherry picked the facts.

The fact that PTCL was holding back the broadband industry before , the tax holiday, the collapse of IDD rates and the introduction of mobile phone companies would have had PTCL on its knees if it were still state run. Nice work done along with all the relevant facts and figures No doubt before privatization PTCL was one of the largest Revenue generator of the country and leading telecom industry in the region H Chaudhry: Free market!!!

I think you have not heard of the pehnomenon known as the Global Financial Crisis of Or maybe you're just related to shortcut aziz. Although the facts given in your article are correct, however, you are forgetting the main point.

Subscribers were paying hefty charges for local and long distance calls. Few years before privatisation, even mobile operators were forced to use PTCL's network and pay them. PTCL was only good because of endless protections given to it by the regulators.

We all know the state of affirs before privatisation, where we had to bribe the lineman for keeping our line in working condition This article is a very good example that if numbers are presented in a different way, it can create an entirely opposite picture.

Rather superficial analysis. Doesnt account for the tax holiday that PTCL enjoyed prior to its privatization or the collapse in international dialling tariffs across the world which have hurt all fixed line operators or the fact that PTCL was one of the least efficient telecom operators in the world based on various measures including employees per line.

Yes, more was expected from the new owners but that doesnt mean that this was some sort of gem. Author didn't mention the effect of the emergence of new players. Before privitization, PTCL had monomply in the market and was charging very high tarrfis. PTCL's services for the customers have improved considerably.

Ufone is owned by PTCL, which is also doing well. Many of fixed line customers have moved to Vfone or other WLL or mobile companies, so the decrease in revenues and profit margins is understandable. Crap article Not a good assessment. I guess the author has been "living abroad" and had no idea of the on ground realities. Or maybe the writer never really used a PTCL phone line.

Lets be honest , even after privatization the company is barely walking. The problem is not the technical expertise it is the plain and simple fact that you cannot FIRE anyone form a state owned institution, if you do you head the KESC way , strikes and all. Unfortunately Mr. Also the reputation of the Arab Baduins is quite notorious as they carried out the human resource HR insults in a very brave and vehement way.

No investment was flown in as the result of the PTCL privitization to national exchequer and themoney of this poor nation is going into the baks of UAE where our mean and malicious leaerds, politicians, army general are having nice day and nights of thier livies.

We would have been with out internet and phone for ever. We the Pakistanies are hypocrates and love the non-system in which we live. We dont deserve good, intelligent people. Chaudhry On the one hand, you are praising the free market and, on the other hand, you are asking for regulation of the market which is always opposed by proponents of that system.

When you regulate a market then it's not free. Free market is nothing but destruction. The author has mentioned the names of companies upfront that are being run by Government and are performing very well. Then how government running businesses is destruction? Good piece but I suppose it lacked the depth of analysis. Adding to a comment above by TsunamiLota, i would say that such decisions are based on cost and benefit analysis. And I believe that in terms of cost-benefit analysis, this has been a best of the decisions.

Just look at the cellular boom and the employment it has generated. It would not have been possible with a big giant in the market already having the large chunk of market share. For comparison, just look at the oil sector, with a huge public corporation, PSO, in the market, good investors are not interested in putting in value in the oil and gas sector.

PTCL was sold at the right time, since there profits would have descreased with time, and the main reason is the change in the communication industry.

If you want to print your work, a higher resolution camera won't really help you create better physical images. Having pixels per inch in a photograph sounds fantastic, but the reality is a viewer has to have some space between themselves and the image to be able to appreciate the work. Billboards are a great example of this, as they are routinely made with resolutions between 10 and 20 dots per inch at a viewing distance of several hundred feet, yet look as sharp as a dot-per-inch 8 x 10 print.

So what's your take on the megapixel debate? Do you need that high-megapixel camera or do you have a tomegapixel camera that's meeting your needs on your photographic journey? JT Blenker, Cr. Check out the Fstoppers Store for in-depth tutorials from some of the best instructors in the business. More is not always more. Two observations: A full frame usually weights more. Unless the images must be of the absolute highest quality, the extra weight may not be worth it when traveling out of a studio.

Also, there is the "agency" issue. People hiring pro photographers want to keep their jobs, so they will consider sometimes foolishly the photographer's equipment in making a hiring decision. If they believe more megapixels is better It also let's me create headshots out of medium shots.

I'm in the process of printing for an upcoming exhibit. I'm only printing 17 X 22 most are full frame.. I just upgraded to an XF and the difference 24 vs 12 is stunning. Soon I will purchase a D for the reasons you have outlined.

You forgot to mention what the difference is. I am curious about that. Could you explain and maybe upload some samples? Like getting 2 lenses in 1. When will people learn that the amount of mega pixels has no direct influence on ISO performance. Within a chosen sensor size the total amount of light gathered stays the same, regardless of the amount of pixels. It seems to me that it's been turning up in discussion on sites all over the place, lately, as the camera manufacturers try to "squeeze the lemon" by introducing more and more models with more and more pixels.

And cameras these days are so class to "perfection" that the camera manufacturers will now have one hell of a struggle on their hands, trying to convince their market that "new" is somehow "better".

Part of that struggle is more pixels. And ever more after that. Another part is adding more features to their latest model.

But there it is. As far as I'm concerned, the primary reason for "more pixels" only works if you crop the image, or if you make a large enough enlargement print of it. Commercial photographers have no choices - they are usually told by their clients what is acceptable. If I had a nickel for every time this same Megapixel article has been written over the years I could go buy myself a Hasselblad H6Dc. WELL other situations mandate mp or more; YOU need to decide for yourself if you use your experience it will become quite clear.

Due to moving the camera back eliminating the need to shoot too many stacked shots. Landscape heck you can crop like hell and still have a very large file left to print big.

The other reason and maybe more important is including the discussion of sensor size along with MP this alone giving you 15 stop of dynamic range and 16bit files is worth the ticket! As already established, the higher the MP count, the more storage you will need for your photography. The smaller MP means there is more space on the card for more shots. This can be an advantage for event photographers or anyone looking to take a ton of photos within a small period.

As described by Mix Arena , the smaller megapixel count means that there is more room on the sensor for individual pixels. In other words, the pixels for a 12MP camera are larger than the pixels found on a 16MP camera. The larger the pixels means there is more space for light to hit and be processed. Thus, the smaller megapixel count camera can handle low light settings better than high megapixel count cameras. Although most people associate cameras, specifically DSLRs, with still photography, there is still another area of interest when it comes to megapixel importance.

The topic that seems to be forgotten when talking about this is filming videos. Coming in at a whopping megapixel count, this camera needs significant storage space. So much so that the Phase One company built in two different memory card slots for it.

This camera also comes with a large, full-frame camera sensor at 3. This larger sensor allows for up to 15 stops of range! If you really want to get an understanding of the impact or lack thereof depending on your viewpoint that megapixels have on the quality of image, the best example is the type of cameras that have the lowest megapixel count. These cameras are your run of the mill security cameras! According to CCTV Camera World , you can purchase security cameras that only have one megapixel but can still record a video at a resolution of p.

In the day and age of 4K streaming, p does not seem that impressive. However, even the daily news broadcasts at p! The reason security cameras can still output a video of such quality with only one megapixel is that the smaller overall megapixel count allows the cameras to have one large area for the camera sensor to process over.

This means they can process information in the lowest light settings, have the fastest shutter speed, and can even process night vision! With so much information regarding megapixels and whether they matter or not, it can be confusing on where to start looking.

As stated before, the amount of megapixels necessary depends significantly on what you are trying to capture. To help your search for the right number of megapixels you need, here are some suggestions for cameras for each of the main types of photography, determined by their megapixel number.

If you are just starting in photography, or you need something that can cover your basic needs for a camera, these suggestions might be the best option. They have an average amount for megapixels neither low nor high that will get the job done. They are ranked from cheapest to most expensive.

You can find them on Amazon:. If you are a professional event photographer or aspiring one at that! However, you also need that sweet spot of not too high, but higher than the beginner photographer would have. Here are five suggestions for event photographers when it comes to cameras with emphasis on megapixels. By far, this is the main group of photographers that will need to focus on how many megapixels their camera can handle. For print photographers, here are five cameras with rather high megapixel counts that should be considered for purchase.

If you are someone who photographs nature quite frequently, the general needs of nature photographers when it comes to megapixels are the same across the board. If you plan on cropping in your photos to capture a bird sat on a birch, you would be better off keeping with one of the below suggestions as your base camera and invest in a telephoto lens.

Megapixels are not a direct correlation to automatically having higher quality photos. In many cases, you can have a camera that has a megapixel count, but the lens can only provide enough light equivalent to 12 megapixels.

If it can handle higher megapixels, then yes, the megapixel count matters. Generic filters Hidden label. Hidden label. Mobile Photography - Photography.

And whenever ISO in a camera is bumped, so is the noise or the spots in an image. A good image sensor will generate less amount of noise, as opposed to a bad sensor. Sony is one of the leading creators of smartphone camera sensors, one of them is in the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, which is the best smartphone camera as of now.

After the sensor has received and converted the lights to a digital signal, the image goes through a series of post-processing, using artificial intelligence to make the image look good. The ISP is a separate chip that adds processing power to the sensor to make quick changes in the image being displayed in real time.

From correcting the lighting and white balance, all the way up to applying HDR while the image is being captured, all is done by the ISP. The better the ISP, the better will be the end result of your captured image. The ISP also helps in supporting the camera in the numerous features that it gets loaded with, like the faux defocus, or bust image capture, slow-motion video capture, and much more.

Apple is known to make one of the most powerful image processors on its iPhones, followed by Qualcomm on its Snapdragon chipset.

A good sensor, a wide, clear lens and an instantaneous ISP work in tandem to bring an image to life. But the lens, the ISP and the sensitivity of the image sensor are equally responsible to give you a perfect shot. Videos News India. Latest Stories. Mutual Funds. Worth X.

Seller Inventory PSN The Harry Potter novels are more than fantasy: there is a toughness to the writing, a sense of realism and a questing morality that go beyond mere adventure, magic and the battle between good and evil.

How those books came to be written, and the influences that shaped both them and their author, form the core of this inspirational biography. Show More Show Less. Best Selling in Books. First, when people could see what other people liked, the inequality of success increased, meaning that popular songs became more popular and unpopular songs became less so.

In the real world, of course, it is impossible to travel back in time and start over, so it is much harder to argue that someone who is incredibly successful may owe his or her success to a combination of luck and cumulative advantage rather than superior talent. But by writing under the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith, an otherwise anonymous name, Rowling came pretty close to re-creating our experiment, starting over again as an unknown author and publishing a book that would have to succeed or fail on its own merits, just as Harry Potter had to 16 years ago — before anyone knew who Rowling was.

Rowling made a bold move and, no doubt, is feeling vindicated by the critical acclaim the book has received. What is more, had the author actually been Robert Galbraith, the book would almost certainly have continued to languish in obscurity, probably forever. It may be hard for a book to become a runaway bestseller if it is unreadably bad although one may argue that the Twilight series and Fifty Shades of Grey challenge this constraint , but it is also clear that being good, or even excellent, is not enough.

Ironically, that is probably how those 12 editors felt about the original Harry Potter manuscript. Had things turned out only slightly different, the real Rowling might have met with the same success as the fake Robert Galbraith, not the other way around. Duncan J.

What are the Needs and Functions of Pile Foundation? The pile foundation will be chosen based on the: Soil Condition Types of Loads acting on the foundation The bottom layers of the soil The site conditions Operational Conditions The pile foundation consists of pile cap and piles either present in single or in groups. The loads coming from the superstructure is transferred safely to the hard strata, soil, and rocks below by means of piles.

Piles are long slender members that can have a length of more than 15m. There are many functions provided by the pile foundation that result in its tremendous applications in construction. Here, we will discuss the necessity and the functions of pile foundation. Previous article. Next article. Gopal Mishra. Steel pile foundation are either a rolled steel section or a conical shape or it can be a sheet piles. When the piles transfer the load of the building through the soft-soil layer to a suitable bearing stratum at greater depths, it is called a bearing pile.

When pile foundation moves the load only through the skin resistance without any end bearing then the pile are called friction piles. Under-reamed pile foundation is commonly used in black cotton soils that swell or shrink when exposed to water or in large quantities upon drying. It is a bored-in-situ stack that extends one or more is provided with bulbs along its length known as under-rims.

Pile foundations with ems section at the bottom are called taped piles, these piles are used to increase the density of the subsoil by driving these piles into loose soil. The type of material that is used for the construction of the pile, the following are the uses of piles:.

We use the piles to transfer the load through soft soil to a suitable bearing stratum by using the end bearing or toe bearing property of the pile.

To build a structure within the water or on the water river or canal bed, we have to build the foundation through the river bed and within the scour depth. In these situations, if we go for shallow foundation then we may have to use cofferdam or some diversion which is very non-economic. Pile foundation is usually used to carry the compressive nature of the load through the tip bearing or end bearing. In the case of tall structures or towers, there may be tension that must be resisted by the piles.

For a tower carrying high power transmission lines, i. Turbines and silos for the foundation of buildings supporting vibration equipment where vibrations are important and cause failures. They bear on frictional resistance between their outer surface and the soil in contact. Friction piles do not rest on hard strata.

Skip to content. Robert Moore. Twitter Facebook Pinterest Google Classroom. Encyclopedic Entry Vocabulary. Fossil fuels formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals. For hundreds of millions of years, dead plants and animals were buried under water and dirt. Heat and pressure turned the dead plants and animals into oil, coal, and natural gas. So what happens to all this dead plant and animal stuff? It turns into what we call fossil fuels: oil, coal, and natural gas.

This is the stuff we now use to energize our world. We burn these carbon-rich materials in cars, trucks, planes, trains, power plants, heaters, speed boats, barbecues, and many other things that require energy. How does the carbon get out of living things? When fossil fuels burn, we mostly get three things: heat, water, and CO2. We also get some solid forms of carbon, like soot and grease.

So that's where all the old carbon goes. All that carbon stored in all those plants and animals over hundreds of millions of years is getting pumped back into the atmosphere over just one or two hundred years.

Is carbon in the air good, bad, or just ugly? Here's the big, important thing about CO2: It's a greenhouse gas. That means CO2 in the atmosphere works to trap heat close to Earth. It helps Earth to hold on to some of the energy it gets from the sun so the energy doesn't all leak back out into space.

If it weren't for this greenhouse effect, Earth's oceans would be frozen solid. Earth would not be the beautiful blue and green planet of life that it is. They cannot be prepared artificially, and thus we need to use them very carefully because they are close to extinction.

Ferguson stood up and announced, "I'm going to sleep, but if you see Glenn Miller, please call me. At a time when racial segregation was overt in the US, Ferguson selected writers and musicians regardless of skin colour and recorded a swathe of valuable albums for Roulette, building up a cadre of jazz soloists within the band including Lanny Morgan, pianist Jaki Byard and trombonist Slide Hampton.

In , his then band was voted by Down Beat readers the second best in the world, behind that of Count Basie. Forced ultimately to reduce to a sextet, and disenchanted with the general drift of American society, he went to Ojai in California in , looking at the philosophy of J Krishnamurti. He enrolled his five children in the Rishi Valley School and stayed a while until he was invited to tour Britain with a concert package.

When Manchester promoter Ernie Garside told him about his rehearsal big band, Ferguson pulled out a suitcase of music and set to. Within weeks he had honed this orchestra into a powerful force, and set in train a period of huge success for his all-British band. Given a six-month musical slot on what was in that era fleetingly the dominant British chat show - that of Simon Dee - he recruited many of the best British jazz musicians, including saxophonist Danny Moss and Peter King.

He recorded a number of albums, and made the first of several return trips to the US, always managed by Garside. When the British musicians tired of travelling around the US, local men replaced them and Ferguson returned to New York, later moving to California. Thereafter he built a series of fine young bands, recorded prolifically, held college workshops and collaborated with instrument makers to create a series of hybrid brass instruments.

Always open to new genres - he had been the soloist when Leonard Bernstein premiered William Russo's Symphony No 2 in New York in - Ferguson maintained an involvement with Indian raga music, toyed with disco and jazz fusion, and achieved some commercial popularity with his covers of Macarthur Park and Hey Jude.

In his performance of Pagliacci featured at the close of the Montreal Olympics. Two years later he received a Grammy in for Conquistador. He was awarded Canada's highest civilian honour, the Order of Canada, in It was the beginning of my reading and listening to world philosophy and world music. But as news of events at Millbrook spread beyond the exclusive world of academia, curiosity-seekers began to turn up, and life on the estate took on an increasingly less spiritual quality.

Maynard moved his family to the gatehouse of the property but the environment was changing and in the fall of the first of many police raids occurred. It was time for a new experience. Not only Millbrook had changed, but also the music world had changed.

He felt from a business standpoint, it was no longer a sensible proposition and he wanted to do something new. The big band scene was at its lowest ebb during the sixties and Maynard felt he was just doing the same things over and over. So Maynard had realized his wish to front the most swinging ensemble around, one that had captured the delight of the jazz audience. It had experimented with the entire dynamic range, brought forth fresh, imaginative, exciting charts, and allowed the top improvisers of the fifties and sixties to freely express themselves.

He continued to play with his sextet, but the Timothy Leary years expanded his consciousness and he and Flo had set their sights on moving to India.

In Maynard was offered a gig to front an all—star Anglo-American jazz orchestra including Clark Terry on a tour of England. He accepted and took his family with him. The plan was to take them to India at the end of the tour. It was at this time that he met Ernie Garside who became his manager. There were several trips to India and the English music world was overjoyed to have Maynard Ferguson living there.

He was re-energized by the European music scene and influenced by the music of India with all its expanded time signatures and unique instruments as well as a spiritual path of oneness. For a while money was tight, so Maynard left Flo and the kids living near the beach in Barcelona, while he and Ernie Garside put the first tour together. Suddenly Maynard was playing all over Europe and loving it.

CBS had just negotiated a contract with Maynard and wanted Mansfield to be the producer. That was important, because at that time there was little interest in this area of music from any other record company. This was recorded between the fourth and sixth of December, at Olympic Studios in London which, although they had the room to record large orchestras, was better known as a rock and roll studio.

In fact, much of the Rolling Stones early recording work was done there. Maynard was literally standing on his head!

He would do this for several minutes at a time, often between takes. Yoga was very much a part of his life, and this was one of his ways of dealing with pressure. Once this project was finished, we had to decide in which direction to go next. In Maynard began his first tour of the U. He left this country in a darkness — an interlude of artistic withdrawal and private despair, facing financial ruin; he broke for a new life and found it on the other side of the ocean.

And now he was back, on his second U. The scene is surreal: Maynard on a meteoric warm-up streak, hitting a high note, whirling in slow motion; fans, people running in and out; Maynard moving into his strange Hatha Yoga breathing exercises, stretching, leaning, his entire body seeming to fill with air. Instrumentalists have many experiences. An audience consumed, gone with him. Later, alone, he gathers his energies, free inside. After a while, he speaks, his voice strangely suffused. His new band with its contemporary charts was a hit and Maynard was ready to move back to America.

He and Flo were happy to return with their family to sunny California. His new young fans were a powerful and charged audience. Maynard and his band had the time of their lives living on a cramped road bus traveling back and forth across the country. Every gig was fun, but there were spots in the country that were extra special. Places where the kids went nuts.

They were Maynard Fanatics. The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco was always packed with parents, band directors, music students and screaming kids. All excited about jazz. No matter the energy he used on stage, Maynard had plenty left to talk with kids and parents after the shows. He thrived on the interaction and developed a huge fan base that he knew by sight and often by name. Some nights the bus would be loaded and the band would wait an hour for Maynard to finish signing autographs, swapping stories with the local band director or giving a young student an impromptu trumpet lesson.

At that time Maynard was playing with a full big band. I wanted to watch him breathe and approach the trumpet. I heard him in the back warming up and then he came out for a mic check and blew me away.

I was awestruck. What a thrill for a young kid. Hold my beer. The band personnel were now half English and half American and Maynard played trumpet, baritone sax, superbone an instrument he designed and sang. With each new album release always came a couple of new charts. You felt like a movie star! It was a thrilling time for me. It was to be a week of rehearsals and three gigs.

Three days and I was in love. Maynard brought out the animal in all of us. This was too much fun and during that week I threw Maynard my best boyish grins in the hope that he would keep me on.

A week turned into a year. In the band, augmented by many studio musicians, recorded the album Primal Scream. For this recording Columbia was trying new producers and asked Maynard to work with Bob James. Primal Scream was the first collaboration album Columbia intended for the new burgeoning fusion audience. While Maynard was frustrated by lack of control and choice of musicians, he decided to be open and give it a try. The crossover success of the album would send Maynard back into the studio with Bob James for the next album.

They had him way up in the air on a small pedestal with no railing. It was not long after Munich, so there was a lot of security. I was hundreds of feet in the air. They would have shot him, I think, except there were all these girls dancing around him, laughing. So anyway, I blew out the Olympic flame and my whole family was there watching.

There were 75, in the audience and two billion watching around the world.

Have you ever really taken a look at the packs of computer paper you buy? Or can you automatically eye the standard paper used for letters and academic purposes? You have more than likely heard of A5 or Tabloid , but for many, the only two page sizes that really matter are A4 or Letter. But there exist a number of paper sizes that are relevant to our everyday lives, and knowing them can save you time and money when printing and copying. Though other paper size standards exist, there are two predominant systems in use today.

They are the international and North American systems. As the term implies, the international standard, also known as the ISO standard, is used throughout the world. It is based on an aspect ratio of the square root of two, like the side of a square and its diagonal.

This idea was originally proposed by the German scientist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg in In , Dr. This new standard was known as the DIN standard. The system became widely used during World War II. The most commonly used ISO paper size is A4. The current sizes are based on traditional sizes such as Letter 8. Though the sizes now begin with ANSI, they are nevertheless based on the traditional sizes.

The most convenient and distinguishing characteristic of ISO paper is that each format has an aspect ratio equal to the square root of two which makes it simple to enlarge or reduce a document for printing on another ISO paper format. The most popular series of the ISO standard is the A series. The most widely used paper of this series is the A4 format. All paper sizes of this series have a name that consists of an A followed by a number. The larger that number, the smaller the paper. The basis for the whole system is the A0 format which has an area of one square meter.

Figuring out the dimensions of the subsequent paper sizes does not require any real mathematical strain since each ensuing size can be created by simply folding the paper in half with the crease parallel to the shortest sides. Take note that the height of A1 is equal to the width of A0. The B series was brought into being to provide a wider range of paper sizes, where as the C series is used only for envelopes.

The B paper sizes are a bit larger than their A series counterparts and are based on the geometric mean of two consecutive A series sheets.

The C series was introduced to provide an envelope with enough space for an A series sheet.

Cut that 44 inches in half, twice, and you end up with paper 11 inches long. Some of this history is recorded in the Robert C Williams Museum of Papermaking at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta where you can find some of the original papermaking molds. These large sheets were known as foolscap with the dimensions of 8. So as it evolved, it seems lawyers would simply cut the foolscap in half and use the sheets for official documents.

Legal paper as we discussed does not get along with printers, photocopiers, and fax machines. You often have to manually set the machine to print a legal document every single time.

The answer to this logical question is simple. Just like lawyers use legal pads as they are easier on the eyes than the allegedly bright white paper.

So for professionals who have to read and write quite a lot, it makes sense to use something easier on the eyes.

I actually agree with much of his philosophical views, such as why cameras don't matter and such, but his technical knowledge if often plain wrong and his images are mediocre at best. What saddens me is that some newbies are taking his words seriously.

My guilty pleasure is to visit his site once in a while and read his articles. Kinda like looking at car wrecks while driving. If there is an internet village of photographers, then he is either the greatest satirest or the internet village idiot. I dont think that is it. I think that if he was giving reviews that helped people and was getting paid for it no one would mind, they might actually respect him.

But, his reviews tend to be unintelligent, biased and give false information. That is why people hate him. When someone needs information they look online find his stuff almost immediately and are fed invalid information hurting their learning process.
