One way to minimize such challenges is to locate school applications in a central location while providing students and staff with secure, browser-based access from any device. This reduces support headaches by reducing the need for IT staff to install applications on all the devices floating around the school. It also reduces security risks by keeping data and applications separate from students' devices.

I need one thing and would like one more.

Since making the leap from rythm to lead, I need to record some basic strumming for my guitar practice at home because I struggle to keep up with the tempo on some tracks. So I would like to slow them down while I learn them. I usually play along by plugging the iPod into the amp so both guitar and iPod come through the amp. Basic, but works for simple practice.

I'll give you some examples so that you know what I'm on about; I've been working on the guitar solo in the middle of the Beatles track called 'something' and their track called 'I feel fine'. Also Sweet Home Alabama. All three a little bit too fast for my novice fingers.

Then, just to throw an extra into the list. I'd like to be able to record the strummy bit with the solo over the top so that I can take it to my lesson. Whenever I sit down in that room I'm rubbish. I do much better at home.

Also need to sort out a bit of earth hum on the new amp but we've covered that before....cue TT and a bit of tinfoil .

We used to have some keen sound engineers on here. You still there? It looks very do-able but I got lost in techno babble and it started to look like such a mission.

I asked at the theatre this week. Fella went into overdrive for me and came up with a solution. Err, I don't quite need that level of sophistication but his enthusiasm was fun.

Wrong forum I know, but have you seen the real sound forums? Wow. They'll have me lining the walls with sheepskin and mud before you know it.

I have 4 Dimplex night storage wall mounted heaters in the house. Each has a single power switch (in a seperate white box - similar to a domestic 13A outlet, but without the plug&socket). They all go back to a fuse box via a single circuit breaker.

Problem is, the circuit breaker trips at midnight(ish) even when all the heaters are switched off. If the circuit breaker switch is reset during the night, it instantly trips again. If the switch is reset during the day, it trips the following night.

The past few weeks we have gradually incrreased the input setting, while leaving the boost on minimum. The problem seemed to coincide (to within a day) of turning the input setting up a tad.

Any advice gratefully recieved.

My Sony KDL46D3500 46" LCD TV is 4 years 8 months old and it developed a fault whereby there's a clearly visible vertical line from top to bottom. Does this happen often? In a professional opinion, would one normally expect the TV to fail like that after 4-5 years of use? I think it should not. My opinion is that LCD screens are designed and built to last for much longer than that. Am I wrong? I am trying to argue with a retailer that I was unlucky to buy a defective TV set from the beginning (a manufacturer's defect that caused 1 bit of address line to fall off after 4 years of use, for example).

Any suggestions from colleagues for solving this problem will be much appreciated:

I have a Toshiba 40XF355DB LCD TV with HDMI inputs, purchased circa 2008. The HDMI works fine with everything except a new recently purchased ASUS laptop PC. This includes a legacy Samsung laptop also purchased circa 2008, where the same TV can be successfully used as a second monitor etc.

The new ASAS laptop has been returned to the retailer where both it and the connecting cable being used (HDMI v1.4 & 5m long) worked immediately the PC and cable were plugged into 2 different randomly selected TVs on display in the shop. The new PC and cable therefore seem to be OK and the Toshiba TV also seems OK as it works with legacy equipment including the contemporary laptop PC.

The new ASUS laptop PC readily detects the TV correctly as "Toshiba TV".

Connecting and disconnecting the HDMI cable causes the PC to respond by changing its configuration to dual screen or internal only according to connection.

The recommended resolution selected on the PC Graphics configuration control panel is one that is shown as being supported in the TV manual (1920 x 1080p. Refresh 60Hz). Changing these to other supported settings doesn't help.

TV input is correctly set (!). PC is set to extended display on 2 monitors.

Swapping the cable to the old PC brings up the desired picture, swapping it back to the new PC leads to blue "no signal" screen on TV.

Reversing the cable end for end makes no difference - no apparent symmetry problem with cable.

It looks to me like an HDMI dialogue failure between the devices, but internet research suggests that HDMI v1.4 (if that is what the new PC meets) should be backwards compatible with v1.3 which is presumably what the TV meets.

There are many HDMI settings in the graphics control panel to fiddle with but these seem to be more to do with picture quality and colour etc. I cannot see any settings that are different on the old PC which works when compared with the new PC which doesn't.

I have also installed the latest graphics driver from Intel which made no difference.

The Toshiba TV support team state that the PC settings must be at fault however I have proved that the settings work fine on a new TV, I am not sure what to try next.

I have wondered if the the PC output is interlaced or progressive but cannot see how to choose either in the PC settings, although the TV should support either. Similarly I am not sure about the frame rates, 24 or higher, as the specifications and settings for the TV and PC are not clear and I don't know if that would matter.

The TV input compatibility table specified V. Frequency, H. Frequency and Pixel Clock Frequency but these do not seem to relate to any of the advanced Graphics settings which talk of "front porch" settings etc!

I hope that someone out there in the industry with knowledge of HDMI may be able to help me,

Many thanks in anticipation

I like the look of these, and if they stand up to their claims I will promote them to my domestic and commercial clients who often complain about their electricity bills.

However, after making some enquiries I am hearing conflicting opinions on whether or not these will in fact save money.

The website claims they save up to 17% on fridges, freezers and other motorized equipment and 3-5% on PC's.

Some people have said that they are an outright rip-off -that motors will just run longer and slower in fridge/freezers-whilst others have said fridge freezers will just run less efficiently i.e cooler, and some have said that the theory is sound they're waiting to see how well they perform in the field and for consumer confidence to increase.

History
It's made of 5 rolled mats with blue heating cable with earthed and sheathed outer. It came fixed to a plastic mesh. I fitted them as per the manufacturers instructions with the mesh on top, tested it and left. Next day I had a call from the customer, who had hired 2 men to fit the floor. The customer said the mat was put down the wrong way up and the fitters were turning it over. I was very concerned by this and asked her to tell them to leave it as it was, but they carried on.

I went back and found they had poured latex over the mat, but not completely covered, it leaving cable exposed on top. The cable had been routed close to the edge of the floor and in one place adjacent to a sharp metal corner plaster bracket. I disclaimed all further reponsibility for the work and emailed the customer to that effect. However I tested the mat and it was OK for continuity and isulation.

The fitters then started installing the floor, which is reclaimed floor boards, glued on top of the mat. After they had got half way through I tested it found it OK for insulation and continuity, then powered it up and found it OK for function. I issued the EIC for the house and left.

A few days later I got a call from the customer saying the RCD was tripping. I went there and found one of the floor had gone short to earrth. No surprise there.

My problem now, is that the customer is refusing to pay my bill, claiming that I have caused the fault and issued an incorrect certificate stating the installation was OK.

I could take the legal route but that will cost me. The floor supplier put me in touch with someone they use in warantee cases, who will identitfy the case of the fault, photograph it and issue an impartial report.

Any sugestions?

Quote:
"The licensing process usually includes scientific tests and trials and often results in health warning labels on packaging or bans on sales to minors. Simply applying for MHRA marketing authorisation can cost over £100,000, and the cost of large-scale clinical trials can run well into the millions."

The figure of £100k for licensing costs is the one that I produced as a result of meeting with the MHRA at the E-Cigarette Stakeholders consultation meeting last year. It has become recognised as the base cost of the simplest-possible MA application, as it is fairly realistic: £28,000 for the license; £60,000 for the cheapest possible research trial that would need to draw on plenty of previously published research of a similar nature in order to come in at this figure; and £12,000 for documentation and legal fees. As you can see, this is a bare-bones costing, so in some cases it would be double this or more. Your quote of several millions is correct, in cases where a new medicine with no previous published work is available to utilise. This would most likely not apply in the case of an e-cigarette or refill liquid as there is a wealth of previous research on the inhalation of the materials involved.

We think that it may be possible for an e-cigarette wholesaler/retailer to license a basic product for £100k or more likely £150k. However, since the absolute smallest e-cigarette business has around 5 different hardware models and 20 different types of refill liquid, exactly where does this leave the unlicensed products? Illegal no doubt - which is why 99% of the trade will shut down, and the largest black market ever seen will start up. Remember, it won't be illegal to buy them from abroad and have them mailed in. Anything you want is one click away on the internet.

Quote:
"Tobacco industry research has demonstrated that fruit and sweet flavours increase the social acceptance of cigarettes, their excitement factor and curiosity,' says Dr Jonathan Winickoff, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Tobacco Consortium. 'E-cigarettes are being marketed as an entry-level product for children and young adults who are nicotine-naive. Once a youth has decided to try an e-cigarette, there's nothing that protects him from getting addicted to nicotine and later using regular cigarettes."

...is a quote from a front organisation funded by the pharmaceutical industry, and is utter twaddle. E-cigarettes are not marketed anywhere for children - why would they be? Since they cost from £35 / $50 to £100/ $150 and require a credit card for web purchase, and will be delivered with the retailer's logo and marketing message on the package, it seems unlikely that many children would be able to purchase them. Cigarettes are free from a pal, why go to those lengths?

The pharmaceutical industry is going to be the biggest loser as more smokers change to e-cigarettes. Nobody will need their expensive and virtually useless smoking cessation drugs if smoking is no longer harmful. Why quit if it's as harmless as drinking coffee? These cessation drugs (called NRTs) have a failure rate of at least 93% - some research says 98% - so guess which route people will choose if they can buy an e-cigarette instead, which at least 60% of smokers trying them have found easy to change to?

Because of this they are waging a war to get ecigs banned, and their money is being spread around judiciously. Find someone who says e-cigarettes are harmful, or sold to children, or need to be regulated as medicines, and you've found a home for the pharma money - it's as simple as that.

They have been used by millions of people worldwide for many years, and not a single incident of morbidity or mortality has been reported. Contrast that with the hundreds of deaths from smoking cessation drugs such as Chantix - still legal, still fully supported by the FDA and MHRA (I wonder why). In the court cases the FDA lost, and in the requirements for medical licensing that the MHRA had to complete, they were asked to provide some evidence that e-cigarettes are harmful, or could possibly be harmful. There is none, so they lost. All the ingredients are in approved OTC medicines or cake mixes

Ask yourself: what else could be used globally by millions of people for many years without a single report of harm (and you can be sure that the FDA and MHRA looked *very* hard indeed)? Not even coffee, I should think.

Two other pertinent facts:
1. Most e-cigarette users change to a different flavor from tobacco after a month or two. As the sense of taste repairs and renews, tobacco is less attractive than chocolate or caramel flavour. Why stay with burning plant flavour when you can have toffee or blueberry cheesecake? That doesn't make any sense. Some people make their own refill liquids*, and tobacco flavour doesn't come high on the list of popular recipes. Peppermint, coffee and vanilla from the local store's cake flavouring shelf are far more popular.
* Some people don't use nicotine any more, so it's easy to make a refill liquid from glycerine and cake mix flavours. That's all that's in there - maybe a bit of distilled water as well. Lethal stuff, huh?

2. The membership of the largest e-cigarette community site, www.e-cigarette-forum.com, seems to be predominantly over 40. There are a multitude of over-50s and over-60s. The age group least seen there is under 30. Under 20 doesn't appear to exist - and we know how kids love the internet and forums. E-cigarettes therefore seem to be used primarily by those who have realised their health is being compromised by tobacco.

So: banning something that is essentially harmless and will save millions and millions of lives doesn't make a lot of sense. The people who will feel the pain are in the pharma industry, and their paid agents. Next time you hear someone spreading lies about electronic cigarettes, keep that in mind.

I'm trying to get to the truth about electric underfloor heating.

I've been asked on a few occasion to check out a system because the room is not warm enough. I am dubious about it's abilty to heat in principle.

Take for example a room with wooden floor and a central rug. The element is set to a limit of 27C. Is it possible to get a room to 23C by heating it through a wooden floor of which the temperature under the floor is 27C and the outside air is 0C? Other installations using ceramic floor tiles can be set to 30C, I still have the same suspicion although have no data on the thermal conductivity of ceramic tile (could be quite good).

How do the T2 lampholders cope as I know 150w lamps can cause difficulties.]]> http://www.theiet.org/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=315&threadid=35998 2010-05-21T17:56:30 00 Pactrol 1

Why do the highways agencies not install cheap time switches to alternate street lamps in nominated areas. Then turn off the lamps between the hours of midnight and 5 or 6 am - not all of them.

The reduction in energy useage should more than exceed the installation costs of the timers, etc. And there is also the reduction in co2 emissions, etc.

Thoughts anyone?]]> http://www.theiet.org/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=315&threadid=33824 2009-12-03T21:17:18 00 ESGorst 2
Within a few minute of powering the replacement lamp an interesting smell began filling the room.
The smell was reminiscent of disinfectant / antiseptic as you might find in a medical room.

I am very concerned on this as I have already suffered from Heavy Metal poisoning.

I have since changed that lamp only to get the same result from another of the same batch.

Anyone out there have any knowledge concerning the possibility of mercury leakage from these lamps or indeed, any other explanation for the strange smell emanating from them?]]>
