I have no desire to replace Windows in my own organization, but I can definitely think of some uses for ReactOS. For example, I am constantly having to set up lab environments for various purposes. The site explicitly states that the ReactOS code is currently an alpha build and that it has bugs and is not feature complete.

As such, it would be unfair of me to try to hold it to the same standard as a commercial operating system. Even so, ReactOS was so buggy that I had trouble giving it a proper evaluation. In order to explain the reasons for this, you have to understand a bit about my setup. I have several Hyper-V servers setup in another room. Typically when I need to set up a lab environment, I will RDP into one of these servers and then do whatever it is that I need to do. In the case of ReactOS, this approach just was not viable.

Keyboard input was intermittent at best. If you look at the next image, for example, I could use the keyboard to open and navigate the Start menu, but I could not interact at all with the New Hardware Wizard.

This approach would eliminate the need for connecting to a remote Hyper-V server. Although that approach fixed the keyboard and mouse issue, the display looked really bad.

Even at a high resolution, fonts were really tough to read, as shown below. After some tinkering, I was able to fix the color problems, but I still could not get the fonts to display correctly. I suspect that if there were a way to manually install the Hyper-V integration services, it might fix the display problem. In spite of all of the problems, I was able to spend quite a bit of time poking around in the operating system.

All of the various dialog boxes and configuration options that I experimented with felt immediately familiar, although the OS felt kind of like a mashup of Windows XP and Windows At this stage in the game, I cannot in good conscious recommend ReactOS for any sort of production use.

Even so, the operating system does hold a lot of potential. I think that the main thing that the developers need to work on right now is driver issues. It would be nice to be able to use the mouse in an RDP session. Once the developers manage to get the driver issues sorted out, I think that ReactOS will become a much more viable OS. Because of its tiny footprint, the OS is extremely fast and responsive and based on my own experiences it also seems to be stable. I am really looking forward to seeing what happens with ReactOS in the future.

Taking the OS for a test drive. Brien Posey is a freelance technology author and speaker with over two decades of IT experience.

This is a great place to start for anyone wanting to gain experience in NT system development, or is already comfortable working with NT Services and wants to work on system components that are core to the NT operating system.

The shell is generally split into two areas. These dlls contain code for things such as the file browser, dialogs, menus, and the start menu and they rely heavily on the Win32 API to provide these services.

Explorer is the portion most people associate with the the shell, and is a process that provides the user with a desktop to manage their applications. It implements things like the taskbar and tray notification area and it too relies heavily on the shell dlls to get its tasks done. The ReactOS shell is a fully working implementation of a Windows shell with the same look and feel. This makes it a great learning tool to further your knowledge into Windows shell development.

The Win32 API is lowest layer of user mode and is made up of vast number of dlls. The main dlls can be split into three specific areas; Kernel However, the Win32 API is much more than these three libraries. Implementing the Win32 API provides a particular challenge to anyone hoping to get involved in this area, in that it has to mimic Windows versions of the Win32 API completely. Vivaldi will not provide crypto-wallets in its browser because it doesn't want users to participate in digital coin trading — something CEO Jon von Tetzchner desribes as "at best a gamble and at worst a scam".

The move comes a week after rival Mozilla dipped a toe in the crypto-waters , only to have it angrily bitten off. Mozilla initially talked of accepting donations via cryptocurrencies but swiftly backtracked, saying the policy would be paused and reviewed. Anti-malware veteran Norton also came a little unstuck at the same time thanks to inbuilt crypto-mining tech.

Microsoft's cloudy storage platform, OneDrive, is a handy solution for mixed fleets. Using Windows and Mac hardware? No problem; a local-file-like experience is on hand for either environment Linux users, sadly, need not apply for the time being. One facet of the OneDrive experience is Files On-Demand, where the content of files is not downloaded until needed for example, opening up a Word document.

It saves disk space and means OneDrive only downloads what it needs when connected to the internet unless a user has manually specified that a file or folder be always available. Dropbox's Smart Sync does something similar. Interview Supply chain woes continue to batter the tech industry but that didn't deter the makers of the diminutive Microlino from introducing a new electric vehicle amid a pandemic and chip shortage.

We last looked at the Microlino in , when the bubble-like electric car was shown off at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Not that the two-passenger and three beer-crate Isetta-inspired vehicle would have won any prizes for velocity, thanks to a maximum speed of 90kph. Still, in a market awash with concepts and dreams that are far from production, the Microlino looked to us to be an intriguingly practical proposition for urban transport. On Call A warning from the past in today's On Call.

Helpfulness is not always rewarded with a pat on the back and a slap-up meal on expenses. Our tale comes from a reader Regomised as Derek and concerns his time working for a multinational with plants at multiple locations in the UK. A cry for help had to be answered within the hour. One of the plants would start production at on Monday mornings, but started work four hours earlier to make sure things were up to speed.

It had two main buildings. One was an office unit, housing the comms and server rooms. The other had an equipment room, with switches and patch panels as well as an operations room with client PCs and expensively large monitors. In conjunction with a White House meeting on Thursday at which technology companies discussed the security of open source software, Google proposed three initiatives to strengthen national cybersecurity.

The meeting was arranged last month by US national security adviser Jake Sullivan, amid the scramble to fix the Log4j vulnerabilities that occupied far too many people over the holidays. Sullivan asked invited firms — a group that included Amazon, Apple, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle — to share ideas on how the security of open source projects might be improved.

Google chief legal officer Kent Walker in a blog post said that just as the government and industry have worked to shore up shoddy legacy systems and software, the Log4j repair process — still ongoing — has demonstrated that open source software needs the same attention as critical infrastructure.

Apple's having a problem retaining top chip personnel, with the latest defection being CPU architect Mike Filippo going to Microsoft. As chief compute architect at Microsoft, Filippo will design server chips for the software giant, according to media reports. The US Federal Communications Commission is considering imposing stricter rules requiring telecommunications carriers to report data breaches to customers and law enforcement more quickly.

At the moment, companies have to wait seven business days before they can disclose a data breach to their customers. Under the new plan, the waiting period will be scrapped altogether so people can be notified sooner.

In this case the title is "Quitclaim Deed" Executed Date This is the date that the legal document was completed, signed, and executed. Grantor This is the person or persons that is transferring their rights to the real estate to someone else. The term "person" can refer to a natural person, an LLC, a Partnership, a Corporation, a Trust or Trustee, or any other entity that can legally own real estate. Grantee This is the person that is receiving the ownership rights that are being transferred.

Again here, the term "person" refers to any entity that can legally own real estate. Habendum This is the meat of the deed, the legal speak which actually transfers the rights to the property. Generally it is a phrase similar to: " While in some cases a deed may be enforceable without consideration it certainly muddies the water. It's a good idea to check with a tax accountant before transferring real estate with a "no consideration" or "gift" deed as there may be tax issues. Legal Description Here is where the description of the property being transferred is listed.

The format of the legal description varies from state to state. The types of legal descriptions are: metes and bounds, rectangular survey, and lot and block.

The "lot and block" legal description is the most common however it depends on your state. Signatures Most states require only the Grantor to sign the deed and for it to be delivered to the Grantee for it to be valid.

Grantor's signatures usually must be notarized and in some rare cases separate witnesses must also witness the Grantor signing.

Prepared By This section lets the world know who prepared the deed. Generally this is the Grantor or an attorney. Executing a deed can also create issues with your mortgage such as triggering a due on sale clause.

Check with your title insurance provider or lender prior to executing a deed to see if there will be any affect on your policy coverage or mortgage. It is common during a divorce for one spouse to quitclaim their interest in a property to the other spouse.

If there is a mortgage on the property it is important that you understand this does not remove your obligation to the mortgage.

You could end up responsible for the debt with no say as to what happens to the property. Fraud and Abuse Unfortunately, there has been an increase in real estate fraud in recent years and many cases involve a quitclaim. Theft by forgery is the most common fraud committed. If you are purchasing real estate, especially from someone you do not know, and they offer to transfer the property to you using a quitclaim deed you should seek the advice of a legal professional or at the very least consult someone at a title company.

If you own real estate and are asked to sign a quitclaim deed, know that you are giving your real estate to someone else and you will not likely be able to get it back. This is common in a "save your home" type of scheme. Fraud is not a new issue, in a Michigan court Peters v Cartiera said this of quitclaim deeds: Under the cloak of quitclaim deeds schemers and speculators close their eyes to honest and reasonable inquiries and traffic in apparent imperfections in titles.

These requirements determine the content or text that is in the deed. Quitclaim forms must meet statutory conditions for content and format. In addition, many local recording authorities add requirements for margins, paper size, property identification, and many other details. It must be filed with the mandatory forms noted below. It is essential that the task of recording the deed is prioritized. Email Delivery. Word Download. How It Works.

Tanks features 2 Player split screen gameplay, where two humans would duke it out locally featuring different guns and stuff. By manipulating both, you can have split screen gameplay, as well as a really ugly really awesome mini-map. So basically, view 1 is following player 1 , view 2 is following player 2 , and view 3 covers the entire room. Then you just have view 1 ported to the left, view 2 to the right, and view 3 shrunk into the bottom center of the window.

Yeah, the older tanks game which I unfortunately do not have the files of. It does not contain viruses, it was made in Game Maker 8. Keep in mind, that GMA taught even someone like me, who had no experience with game maker or programming to make a game like this. The game utilized the timeline feature in Game Maker 8. I would spawn the enemies in various formations and directions and boom, enemy spawning was done.

What is kind of funny to me is how this game in a way was the predecessor to Drone Strike a more recent Shoot-em-up I made a while ago. Drone Strike is the more recent shoot-em-up game I made. It features more mechanics like a charge shot and deflection-evade ability. Basically, when a change was needed, it involved having to constantly close the game, change all the values, then re-run and test again.

If I ever did do a sequel to Drone Strike which would be pretty cool, but unlikely , I would probably look into finding a way to design the levels in real-time while the game is running instead of having to re-run and wait around for the game to load my changes. Control the yellow boy s as you encounter unique obstacles and puzzles. Each room has a unique layout and engages you with its own unique style and personality. Escape the dank dungeon. In Epic Escape , your goal is to stay stuck in the prison and never leave.

You are supposed to wallow in your own self pity, forever doubting your own capabilities as you scroll through social media and see people who appear to live a happier and better life than you. IN SPITE OF THAT, you are given the emotionally heart wrenching choice to either escape the prison of doubt or stay stuck in the prison, never experiencing further pain, disappointment and sorrow, but also never uncovering greater truths about yourself.

Itsa me, Brandon. Re fl ec to Ba ll. Destroy the spheres, the blocks are simply just obstacles. Unlike the typical Breakout formula, Instead of being obsessive and committing genocide to every single block on the map, you just have to destroy the glowing spheres to win. If you want to be faster about it, just stick to the same sprite dimensions that the tutorial is using.

I spent some time looking through all my music files and found these ones that were going to go into this game.

If the outcome of interest is uncommon, however, the size of prospective investigation required to estimate relative risk is often too large to be feasible. In retrospective studies the odds ratio provides an estimate of relative risk.

You should take special care to avoid sources of bias and confounding in retrospective studies. Prospective investigation is required to make precise estimates of either the incidence of an outcome or the relative risk of an outcome based on exposure. Case-Control studies are usually but not exclusively retrospective, the opposite is true for cohort studies.

The following notes relate case-control to cohort studies:. This would make the results of a trial unreliable, as it could exaggerate or hide the effects of the treatment. Next Section: What is an observational study? What is a randomised clinical trial? Use the following four questions to determine the difference between a clinical study and a clinical trial: Does the study involve human participants?

Are the participants prospectively assigned to an intervention? Is the study designed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the participants? Is the effect being evaluated a health-related biomedical or behavioral outcome? Note that if the answers to the 4 questions are yes, your study meets the NIH definition of a clinical trial, even if… You are studying healthy participants Your study does not have a comparison group e.

Sue Coppard was a London secretary who volunteered on a farm with some friends back in and thought the idea was so great that she turned it into a business: WWOOF , which stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.

The company has recently been rediscovered by a new generation of travelers that craves getting dirt under their fingernails. In return, the farm pays for your accommodations and food you usually need to cover the flight. Volunteers typically work a few hours a day, then get time off to explore. There are opportunities everywhere from Costa Rica to Cambodia. Working with an elephant and son in Thailand. Photo courtesy of Shutterstock.

The following figure shows the common types of precast sections. Hence, it is not as common as reinforced concrete. The following classifications are discussed. Source of prestressing force This classification is based on the method by which the prestressing force is generated. There are four sources of prestressing force: Mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and chemical.

Devdas Menon External or internal prestressing This classification is based on the location of the prestressing tendon with respect to the concrete section. Pre-tensioning or post-tensioning This is the most important classification and is based on the sequence of casting the concrete and applying tension to the tendons. Linear or circular prestressing This classification is based on the shape of the member prestressed.

Full, limited or partial prestressing Based on the amount of prestressing force, three types of prestressing are defined. Uniaxial, biaxial or multi-axial prestressing As the names suggest, the classification is based on the directions of prestressing a member.

The individual types of prestressing are explained next. Source of Prestressing Force Hydraulic Prestressing This is the simplest type of prestressing, producing large prestressing forces.

The hydraulic jack used for the tensioning of tendons, comprises of calibrated pressure gauges which directly indicate the magnitude of force developed during the tensioning.

Mechanical Prestressing In this type of prestressing, the devices includes weights with or without lever transmission, geared transmission in conjunction with pulley blocks, screw jacks with or without gear drives and wire-winding machines. This type of prestressing is adopted for mass scale production. Devdas Menon Electrical Prestressing In this type of prestressing, the steel wires are electrically heated and anchored before placing concrete in the moulds.

This type of prestressing is also known as thermo- electric prestressing. External or Internal Prestressing External Prestressing When the prestressing is achieved by elements located outside the concrete, it is called external prestressing. The tendons can lie outside the member for example in I-girders or walls or inside the hollow space of a box girder.

This technique is adopted in bridges and strengthening of buildings. In the following figure, the box girder of a bridge is prestressed with tendons that lie outside the concrete. Figure Hurst Book Free Download. Lin, Ned H. Burns Book Free Download. Please enter your comment! Please enter your name here. You have entered an incorrect email address! Devdas Menon 1 There is no secondary moment in the spans due to the prestress. The M2 diagram coincides with the M1 diagram.

The shift of the pressure line due to external loads can be measured from the profile directly. A concordant profile can be developed from the moment diagram due to external loads for a certain load combination using the following theorem. Theorem Every real moment diagram for a continuous beam on non-settling supports produced by any combination of external loads, whether transverse loads or moments, plotted to any scale, is one location for a concordant tendon in that beam.

The theorem can be proved based on the condition of no deflection at the supports due to external loads. Also, for a concordant profile since there is no reaction at any support, there is no possibility of deflections at the supports.

Thus, it is easy to obtain a concordant profile from the moment diagram of the external loads for a certain load combination, drawn to a certain scale. The following figure shows the steps of the development of concordant profile from the moment diagram. Devdas Menon Discussion The computation of the concordant profile helps in the layout of the tendon profile. The tendon profile need not be designed to be a concordant profile.

It should be such that the stresses in concrete at transfer and at service are within the allowable values. If a concordant profile is selected then the calculations become simpler. The steps are as follows.

For the preliminary design, the type and depth h of the section can be selected based on architectural requirement and deflection criteria. Revise the section if necessary. The zone between emax and emin along the length of the beam is the limiting zone. The equations of emax and emin are same as that for a simply supported beam. The value of P0 can be estimated from Pi as follows. Devdas Menon b. Equal to Pi for post-tensioned members.

The value of Pi can be estimated as follows. If the profile is a concordant profile, the pressure line due to prestress coincides with the profile of the CGS. Some of the key features of the book are: 1. Discussion on limit state design of full and partial prestressed concrete beam. Detailed examples of design of small to long span beams, water tanks, cylindrical shells, folded plates, domes and bridges are illustrated. Latest codes of practice are incorporated and comparison of the designs based on different methods and illustrated.

Economical analysis and the influence of design variable and methods on cost are discussed.
