Radiant Tubing Into Concrete Slab Detail
2008-08-01 03:22:00
This post is an answer to a question a reader asked the other day. "How should I treat the radiant tubing into concrete slab detail?"It just so happens that I installed the radiant tubing in our new home so I've got a bit of experience with this detail. Installing radiant tubing in a concrete slab is fairly straight forward. The key is to lay out the loops so that each loop is approximately the same length. Each loops starts and ends at the same point (location of the header manifold).The easiest way I know how to deal with the location where the radiant tubing exits the concrete slab is shown in this photo. I used a 1 1/2" electrical conduit 90 degree sweeps for each pair of radiant tubing. The conduit sweeps help make sure you don't have a kind in the radiant tubing where it exits the concrete.To support the conduit sweeps and radiant tubing during the concrete pour I pounded two wood stakes into the sub-grade on either end of the sweeps. Then I screwed a scrap piece of wood bet...

Moving the foundations while leaving the house standing

Sometimes change is good.Take this week for example, my webhost is moving, not just to another server but to another state!Now anyone worth their salt should be able to perform such a move in an organized manor and have almost zero downtime for their customers, unfortunately that isnt my webhost :-)So the time had come to find a new one, one that would be faster, more reliable as downtime has been an issue recently, one that is more secure as hacking has been a big issue and one that had better support.Now this doesnt come without a price and I have paid that price, several times more than I was paying but I have to say I am very impressed with my new host, what they offer and how they offer it.Needless to say there is always some turbulence during a move but you should have stopped seeing the old site and started seeing this new one without any real break in service, apart from the one goof made by myself because I didnt setup the DNS entries correctly, woopsy!But in essence if you...

Public Foundations versus Private Foundations
2008-03-10 04:23:00
There are three types of designations registered charities may hold:1. Charitable Organization2. Private Foundation3. Public FoundationCharitable OrganizationsA charitable organization generally engages in charitable activities. An example of this would be a hospital.Private FoundationsA private foundation can carry out charitable activities, but it normally gives funds to another registered charity (or other qualified donee). The foundation will be classified as Private if more than 50% of its board of directors or trustees deal with each other in a NON arm's length manner (meaning there are close ties) OR if more than 50% of the money donated comes from people who are not dealing at arm's length with each other. Many private foundations are single family foundations.Public FoundationsA public foundation gives more than 50% of its annual income to other charities (or other qualified donees), although it can also carry out its own charitable activities.

Evaluating Residential Foundations
2008-02-14 15:47:00
Here are a few questions you may want to ask about the foundation that's holding up the house you are contemplating buying: 1. What building codes were in effect when the house was built? Was the foundation inspected properly during construction? 2. The age of the structure? If it was built a long time ago construction methods and materials could affect the quality of the foundation. 3. Was the work done by a licensed contractor?

In their own words:"The Digital Video project-based curriculum develops career and communication skills in video production, using Adobe tools.

Foundations of Cryptography - A Primer
2008-01-26 23:29:00
Book DescriptionFoundations of Cryptography surveys the main paradigms, approaches and techniques used to conceptualize, define and provide solutions to natural cryptographic problems. The author starts by presenting some of the central tools; that is, computational difficulty (in the form of one-way functions), pseudorandomness, and zero-knowledge proofs. Based on these tools, the emphasis is shifted to the treatment of basic applications such as encryption and signature schemes as well as the design of general secure cryptographic protocols. The author has created a unique overview that includes well over 100 references. The accent is on the clarification of fundamental concepts and on demonstrating the feasibility of solving several central cryptographic problems. Foundations of Cryptography is an invaluable resource for all students, researchers and practitioners interested in the foundations that underpin modern cryptography.Foundations.of.Cry-ptography.A.Primer

Indonesia's record-breaking bridge on shaky foundations
2007-10-28 14:37:00
Indonesia has brushed aside fears of graft and disaster to pursue plans to build the world's largest suspension bridge -- in one of the most earthquake-prone areas on earth.The planned Sunda Strait bridge will cross at least 29 kilometres (18 miles) between the country's two most populous islands, Java and Sumatra, and pass at its closest point a mere 50 kilometres from the still-active Krakatau volcano.That volcano's famous 1883 eruption killed an estimated 36,000 people, mostly from resulting tsunamis. The 10-billion-dollar bridge, which is in the "pre-feasibility" study phase, will pass over three smaller islands and include a single uninterrupted span 2.5 kilometres long.Professor Wiratman Wangsadinata, whose consultancy is involved in the study, says the planned bridge will be around 200 kilometres from the "subduction zone" where the Australian and Asian plates come together.Wangsadinata says that records show the maximum earthquake that can occur in the zone is 8.5 on the ...
Automatic Insurance - Foundations
2007-10-26 03:54:00
Automatic Insurance - FoundationsThe automatic insurance was conceived to protect from the individuals in the event of accident or loss of car to their vehicle.Initially, people want to be protected from their responsibility if they would wound somebody or harm to somebody of another property by the use of their car.In the second place, people want protection for damage with their own car if the car would be damaged in an accident or suffers from other types of damage, such as fire or the flight.Since the owners of a house form specifically excludes the insurance from car, they must be covered separately, by a policy called a personal automatic policy, or the PAP. Since the PAP contains the cover of the guarantee of property and, it is considered a comprehensive insurance.The personal self politics consist of Erklaerungseite and politics form. The politics policy contains four different covering, everyone with its own insuring agreement, exclusions and conditions.They are:- Divide a...
