Irregular case of induced EMF

  1. Dear colleagues,

    My question here refers to the EMF induced in an incomplete ring that is stationary amidst a time dependent magnetic field.

    We know from Faraday's law that EMF is created upon changing the magnetic flux, either by changing the intensity of the field, or by changing the effective area enclosed by the conductor.

    In the present case, the stationary ring isn't complete, namely part of it has been removed before placing it in the field. In other words, the conducting ring isn't closed.

    What machinery or explanation acounts for the creation of an induced EMF in this case ? (there is no induced current in this case, of course).

    Thank you, BC

    The induction laws still apply, as they do not rely on the presence of a conductor. You can "close" the loop with an imaginary "connection" - as this connection is not conducting, (nearly) the whole induced voltage drop will be there.
  4. What machinery ?

    Yes, that's already known. My question is what physical machinery brings about an EMF,
    after all, the ring is stationary and isn't moving ?

    2nd: you can close the gap by a virtual connection, but there's no one unique way to do so,
    which implies different possible resulting effective areas.

    Thanks, BC

    ##\displaystyle \frac{\partial B}{\partial t}=-curl(E)## (Maxwell equation)
    The time-dependent magnetic field produces a circular electric field.

    Sure, but the potential difference in the gap will be the same for all methods.
  6. High-school level

    a. The problem is how to introduce this within the framework of high-school teaching, since
    the matter in question was given in a matriculation exam in physics.

    I avoided Maxwell's equations, just because they're out of high-school curriculum.
    I should have pointed this out in the 1st place.

    b. My previous 2nd remark was given on the basis of the interplay between area and field, in terms of the change in the flux. Of course the EMF itself is path-independent, but this has to
    meet the condition regarding the scalar product of the field & area - where's the area here ?

    Then change the high-school curriculum! There is no way to explain physics other than it really is done, and if you want to discuss Faraday's Law, you have to discuss Faraday's Law which is one of Maxwell's equations. There's no way out, either you explain Faraday's Law or leave it out of your curriculum. It doesn't make sense to explain wrong things to students or does it?

    Of course, you cannot use vector calculus at school, and I don't know about high-school physics except what's taught in German high schools. There, usually simple examples are treated with the (unfortunately usually incomplete) integral form of Faraday's Law.

    For your case, this incomplete form is sufficient, since there are no moving parts in your setup. You just have a time-varying magnetic field, and as was pointed out before in this thread, you can simply close the circuit somehow.

    The important point is, however not to somehow close the circuit, but you have to specify a precise physical question, and it's always a good thing not to ask about some buzzword like here the "electromotive force" but ask what a concrete measurement will result in according to the laws of physics, and that's what physics is all about!

    So to make sense of your question, you ask, how to measure the electromotive force, and to that end you have to use, e.g., a volt meter, which you have to connect somehow with the loose ends of your ring! Now, a volt meter is a galvanometer with a very high resistance, but the reistance is very high and not infinity since to measure the voltage you have to make some current run through the coil of the galvanometer (if you use not a good old-fashioned galvanometer but some modern digital volt meter, it's principally the same, but your students will have a harder time to get the point of this very important argument about the general workings of physics as an empirical quantitative science!).

    Thus, at the end you have indeed a closed circuit, and as you stated correctly yourself, the original question doesn't make any sense, because due to the time-dependent magnetic field, the measured electromotive force will depend on the geometry of your loop, i.e., the voltage your volt meter will read, will indeed depend on how you shape the wires conducting the loose ends of your incomplete ring, because the volt meter will give the electromotive force as defined along the closed circuit to be equal to the time derivative of the magnetic flux through any surface with the closed circuit as boundary. How you shape this surface in fact doesn't matter, and it is a fictitious surface, used to predict the emf due to Faraday's Law. The circuit itself is, however not something fictitious but a relevant part of your experimental setup, necessary to be defined for being able to use Faraday's Law.

    I think, Faraday's Law is one of the most difficult subjects in electromagnetism. There is nearly no chance to really explain it right without vector calculus, and the integral form is pretty advanced vector calculus. I'd not know, how to adequately teach it at high-school level, particularly when it comes to moving physical parts in your setup, including generators and machines or even unipolar machines.

    There will be current in the wire irrespective of whether the circuit is closed or not.

    Maxwell's equations are not necessary to explain Faraday's law. After all, Faraday himself did not need such advanced mathematics. The idea of integral or sum of contributions, however, is quite helpful.

    I would explain it in this way. The basic quantity that we use to explain the current in the wire is electric field in this wire (including its surface).

    This electric field can be stationary, due to stationary distribution of electric charge (due to battery), or varying in time (due to moving magnet or oscillating current in other circuit).

    In both cases, the electric current ##I## is given approximately by Ohm's law

    I = \frac{U}{R},

    where ##R## is a constant once measured for the wire.

    In the first case, ##U## is voltage, a difference in the potential between the two ends of the wire.

    In the second case, ##U## can be called total electromotive force, or a sum of electromotive forces. It is not defined as a difference in the potential. Rather it is an integral of the total electric field in the wire; the integration proceeds from one end to another (it is not necessarily closed) and it goes entirely inside the wire.

    There are more contributions to the electric field and more corresponding emfs.

    Let the magnet be approaching a cylindrical coil with free ends along its long axis. Since the magnetic field increases, according to the Faraday law the magnet is accompanied by rotational electric field (similar to water vortex). It points roughly tangentially to the wire of the coil. Now imagine the integration of this magnet's electric field along the wire of the coil; the more turns the coil has, the greater the integral.

    The result is the emf due to the magnet

    U_{emf, magnet} = \int_A^B \mathbf E_{magnet} \cdot d \mathbf r.

    There is also another emf, ##U_{self}##, due to the electric field created within the wire by the coil itself, which partially counter-acts the first one. When these are added, we can calculate the current in the same way as in the direct current situations:

    I = \frac{U_{emf,magnet} + U_{self}}{R}.

    So, there will be some current in the wire even if the circuit is not closed. The connection of the two ends of the wire does change the behaviour (inductance) of the circuit a little bit, but if the connection does not change the shape of the coil significantly, the difference should be negligible.

    Faraday's Law in fact is one of Maxwell's equations. So if you discuss Faraday's Law you are using Maxwell's equations, and I don't see, why you shouldn't use them or how you can avoid using them when teaching electromagnetism. It's a bad habit of modern didactics to confuse things by calling them other names than usually used and then simplifying things so much that they become inconsistent and confusing. The great thing of a complete theory like classical electromagnetics is that all such confusions are solved and put neatly in one scheme of descriptions of the corresponding part of nature.

    Of course, in high school, you won't be able to state Maxwell's equations in differential form, and even in integral form they are not easy to understant, but you can use simple cases, starting with electrostatics, then going over to magnetostatics, do some applications like simple parts of DC (and perhaps even AC) circuits. Also waves in free space can be understood on some level (at least em. waves in free space). A lot of this cannot be done with the full mathematical machinery of university physics but it can be done qualitatively. It should only be correct!

    vanhees71, it makes no sense to insist that "the Faraday law" is one of Maxwell's equations, when Faraday had discovered and explained this law before Maxwell formulated his equations. The Faraday law is also known as a law of electromagnetic induction and is taught without advanced mathematics of Maxwell equations on high schools.

    Of course, the Maxwell formulation

    \nabla \times \mathbf E = -\frac{\partial \mathbf B}{\partial t}

    gives it precise mathematical form and is very important, but is by no means necessary to explain the basic content of the law.

    Because 1) they require long preparation in mathematics and it is very difficult to manage that at high school 2) because the required mathematics is not necessary to understand the basics of the law.

    That is the know-how of a high school physics teacher:-) Basically, you have to talk a lot about history and basic experiments, and discuss them using simple language.

    Ok, then how do you state Faraday's Law? In my high-school days we learned the law in its integral form, using a rudimentary way to understand what line, surface, and volume integrals. The Faraday law then was stated as the fact that the electromotive force equals the time derivative of magnetic flux (which is of course somewhat incomplete since it leaves out the magnetic part in the electromotive force). As I said, the Faraday Law seems to be quite difficult to teach accurately without the local form in terms of differential vector operators, which are however out of reach at the high-school level.

    It's of course clear that all physics teaching must be based on and explain the empirical facts. Best is of course to demonstrate the phenomena in nice demonstration experiments or, even better, let the students conduct experiments themselves.

    Yes, I agree, the accurate form requires advanced mathematics, surface and line integrals. But even without it, the main idea is easily conveyed by pictures of the simplest cases - like circular wire in uniform magnetic field, and the formulation you gave above.

    I do not understand however why you think it is incomplete - as far as I know, the above formulation is valid even if the wire moves through the magnetic field. When the area of the circuit expands, the magnetic flux increases and there is emf even in static magnetic field; this can be derived as an effect of the magnetic force.

    If the surfaces and its boundary moves, the integral form is tricky. Start from the differential form, which is always valid. It much simplifies matters, because it's a local law, independent of (real or imagined) surfaces and lines (in Heaviside-Lorentz units):
    [tex]\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{E}=-\frac{1}{c} \partial_t \vec{B}.[/tex]
    Taking the integral over an area, using Stokes's integral theorem of course gives immediately
    [tex]\int_{\partial A} \mathrm{d} \vec{r} \cdot \vec{E}(t,\vec{r})=-\frac{1}{c} \int_A \mathrm{d} \vec{F} \cdot \partial_t \vec{B}(t,\vec{r}).[/tex]
    As you see, here the time derivative is a partial one under the integral. If now the area (and its boundary) is moving, i.e., time-dependent. You cannot simply take this time derivative out of the integral.

    A clear use of Gauß's integral theorem, applied to the cylinder-like volume spanned by the area at time [itex]t[/itex] and the area at [itex]t+\mathrm{d} t[/itex], you'll see that there is an additional contribution to the line integral. Brought to the left-hand side you find
    [tex]\int_{\partial a} \mathrm{d} \vec{r} \cdot \left (\vec{E}(t,\vec{r})+\frac{\vec{v}(t,\vec{r})}{c} \times \vec{B} \right )=-\frac{1}{c} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} t} \int_{A} \mathrm{d} \vec{F} \cdot \vec{B}(t,\vec{r})=-\frac{1}{c} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} t} \Phi_{B,A}(t).[/tex]
    Here, [itex]\vec{v}(t,\vec{r})[/itex] is the velocity of the area element at time [itex]t[/itex] and position [itex]\vec{r}[/itex]. The additional magnetic term, contributing to the EMF, resolves all troubles with situations like the homopolar generator, which is not so easy to understand as the simpler cases usually treated. There is a lot of confusion about this in the literature. Very good articles on this you find in Am. J. Phys. If needed, I can look up the references.
  14. Jano L.

    Jano L. 1,272

    So, if I understood you well, you say that the equation

    \oint_{\partial A} \mathbf E\cdot d\boldsymbol \Sigma = - \frac{d}{dt} \int_A \mathbf B \cdot d\boldsymbol \Sigma

    is incomplete since it is valid only for stationary wire. That is right.

    But the simple expression of the Faraday law is still correct, even the wire moves - your last equation is just mathematical rewrite of the same sentence: emf in the circuit is derivative of the magnetic flux. So, stated this way without mathematics, this formulation is quite general.
  15. Even with the ring open, there is a current - displacement current. Charges will move through the ring then accumulate at the ends. The build up of charges at the ends results in another local E field, a conservative E field. The E field due to induction is non-conservative, i.e. rotational. But the E field due to charges is ir-rotational and conservative.

    The charges feel both forces. The ir-rotational E field due to charge build up has zero curl, so Faraday's Law which states curl E = -dB/dt, holds unconditionally here. The build up of charges at the ring ends result in a local E field that has no influence on the curl of the total E field since this local E field due to charges has no curl at all.

    Does this make sense?

  16. vanhees71

    vanhees71 4,043

    Yes! The charges in the ring feel both parts of the Lorentz force, the "electric" [itex]-e \vec{E}[/itex] and the "magnetic" [itex]-e \vec{v}/c \times \vec{B}[/itex], and that's why both of these terms have to be included in the EMF.

    For usual situations, you can set the velocity of the electrons equal the velocity of the wire, because the drift velocities of the electrons within the wire is very very slow.

Switching from Physics to Maths for post grad study

  1. Hi,

    I'm currently studying towards a physics degree at undergraduate level in the uk with the aim of then going on to do an MSc in maths before hopefully gaining entry onto a phd programme in either maths or a mathematical area of physics.

    Given this intention i am trying to gather a scope of opinion on whether it is worth switching to a maths undergraduate degree now (while i still can) or carry on with the physics or is this not much of an issue at undergraduate level?

    I do enjoy both subjects and have indulged in study away from my degree in other areas of maths (analysis & topology primarily) that are not options as part of the physics degree, but I'm concerned about my options in maths at post grad level if i have a physics rather than a maths degree.

    Also would a degree in physics and then an Msc in maths make it difficult to gain entry into a physics phd programme i.e. without an MSc in physics?

    Any advise or opinions are welcome.
  2. jcsd
  3. Well, if you plan anyway to be a theoretician, then I think the best route is to enroll to a UG in math, and if you can take some additional theoretical physics courses (in classical mechanics, classical electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics (and thermodynamics)) then also add them to your curriculum.

    Usually a degree in physics alone will have some lab component which is a bit tedious, and if you plan to go theoretical then it won't help you as much as the theoretical courses.

    I am saying from my dire situation.
  4. Thanks for your reply, its given me some food for thought.

    I'm only taking a few lab based modules as part of my physics degree which will mean i can fit in a level 3 complex analysis module along with electromagnetism, quantum mechanics , relativity and a project course on quantum entanglement, hoping that this will give me enough preparation to take on complex variables and functional analysis at masters level.

    The problem in deciding whether to take the maths or physics degree route really stems from the fact that although there is a lot of overlap, doing physics means dropping some of the pure maths modules, primarily at level 2 (analysis, group theory, vector spaces etc although have been studying elements of these fields in my spare time) while doing the maths means dropping some classical physics modules and relativity at level 2 & 3(although will still be able to take quantum mechanics and electromagnetism).

    I guess im unsure as to how important at least a grounding in undergraduate classical physics is in doing mathematical physics.

    My original plan was to do the physics degree while studying some of the pure maths that i will be missing out on in my spare time. The intention was then to follow this up with a maths MSc with modules in functional analysis, complex variables, nonlinear ordinary differential equations etc in the hope that this would give me a solid foundation in both physics and maths with which to gain entry into a phd programme doing applied maths or mathematical physics but would still leave the option of doing a physics phd.

    However now i'm starting to get the impression it's probably best to focus in on one area and as i prefer the theoretical is the reason why i have been considering switching to the maths degree. I also have the feeling that a BSc physics with an MSc mathematics would be less favourable to gaining admission to a maths phd programme than a BSc maths with an MSc maths.

    Have you found this to be the case?
  5. Look at it this way, you say you planned taking a bsc in physics and the other pure maths to learn by yourself, if you can do this then I guess you can also do it the other way around, taking a bsc in maths and learning the other physics modules by yourself.

    Most people would argue that the math is the hard part of theoretical physics (well quantum mechanics is really probability and linear algebra), so if you can tackle the math then the physics will be a little bit easier (depends if you have also an intuition for physics, though in QM I don't know how to find an intuition).

    Either way you choose best of luck.

Study: Telling the Truth May Actually Improve Your Health

Read about the amazing health benefit of "always meaning what you say." This idea was tested with a sample of 72 adults just this year.

As compared with a control group, the Sincere group reported on average 7 fewer physical complaints in the last week.

Two Kinds of People in the World

It is said that there are two kinds of people: givers and takers. But that label is not particularly helpful in predicting how a given person will act in a given instance. Knowing whether the people in your life emphasize form over substance will help you see the world through their eyes. Your understanding could keep you from being exploited and bring peace of mind.

Sexual Double-Standard: Big Lie That Hurts Women AND Men

If a man wants to have sex AND be honest about his intentions, he might try saying, “Look I have a burning desire to be with you physically. As with you, it might or might not lead to anything.

You managed to free yourself from an arrogant woman. A far more appealing woman is out there for you. She loathes to put herself above others or exaggerate her skills and talents. She will believe you when you say you are sincere, kind, and committed because her own heart is sincere. The world opens up with a woman like this. And she is far sexier than you may imagine.

How to End Up With the Right Partner

Your spouse's belittling behavior is appalling to you. You wouldn’t dream of treating a mouse running loose in your home with such abuse. Yet your spouse—your “lover”—feels entitled to bully you and your young child this way. You ask yourself, “How did I ever get trapped in this God-forsaken, unfair marriage?!”

Want to Know if Your New Man Is Sincere?

It's tough to know where you stand with an arrogant man. He obstructs the truth to protect his inflated image. At least you don't have to wonder if he is honest—his shallow sense of entitlement tells you that he is not. A humble man, however, is sincere and easy-going. He is like a crystal-clear pond that is also black because the bottom is so very far from the surface.

Without identifying it as such, co-parenting is one of the biggest concerns intact parents have. Many parents come to my practice for help regarding their children but then much of the time is spent discussing how they parent with different styles and their couples relationship. United parenting can improve a romantic relationship; after all you are working together on behalf of the children you created.

1. Perspective taking. Before you discuss something important, recognize that your partner may not have your perspective. The more you are really able to listen and understand the their position, the easier it will to be heard yourself. Parents need to model this for their children.

2. You do not have all the answers. Parenting is one of the most important jobs a person will ever have to do. There is no instruction manual for it or place that people can study to become “experts” in parenting. It’s a learned practice and requires love, dedication, patience, consistency, commitment, and an endless list of other attributes. View parenting as life long process of learning. Money does not make it easier. Parents should be willing to get ongoing outside consultation either on the web, via reading or by talking with an expert. No matter how confident you are as parent, you don’t have all the answers.

3. Be willing to accept feedback. Your partner may not like the way you parent on certain issues and with good reason. Hear him or her out before you decide they are off base. Consider asking a friend if you are unsure about it.

4. Keep parenting separate from couple’s issues. If you are not having sex enough or not spending enough time together, don’t allow those couples issues to play out in parenting decisions. Make separate time to work on the couple issues.

5. Don’t split. Keep firm boundaries. Don’t bad mouth your partner in front of the children no matter how much you're tempted to or how angry you are at some decision you don’t agree with. Comments like “I thought your father overreacted to you coming in late” only promote splitting and unless you want to raise children with personality challenges, steer clear of putting each other down. Parents with more money tend to want to “win” against each other by buying a child. It doesn’t work.

6. Make time to discuss your parenting. Discuss parenting during time that is separate from your couple time.

7. Think like teammates. Acknowledge and play to each other strengths, and support each other being more versatile. If your partner is really weak with patience around homework, know that you have to pick up the slack. However, try to help him or her improve.

8. Non material gifts to children. Give your children the gift of watching you compromise and communicate effectively  and show your love and affection, even when you have different perspectives. The most important job you have as a parent is positive role modeling. Take every opportunity to do it well.

9. Be polite. I don’t mean formal, but I do mean respectful and display good etiquette. Just because you know your partner like the inside of an old sock, doesn’t mean you have to leave out the “please and thank you”.

10. What children want. Most children want less parent conflict more than they want a better parenting decision. And being romantic in front of children helps to build trust in love and relationships.

PureRewards Program Rules & Details

  • Points are issued for orders placed on or after 09/15/2011.
  • 1 Point is awarded for every $1.00 spent on valid purchases.
  • 50 Points are awarded for each approved product review.
  • Tax, shipping, or promotional discounts are not eligible for Points.
  • When you have enough Points available, redeem them for Dollar Rewards on your PureFormulas account.

PureFormulas' Rewards & Referral Program (also known as “PureRewards”) allows customers to accrue Points that add up to discounts on PureFormulas.com.

There are several ways to earn Points:

  • New Account Creation: PureRewards automatically awards new accounts with 500 Points ($5): 250 Points ($2.50) for opening your account + 250 ($2.50) Points for personalizing your account information with your gender, date of birth, and at least 2 interests. Please Note: First time PureRewards users must apply their Points towards an order of $50 or more. After this first order, there are no more purchase minimums for PureRewards. This rule is specifically for first time users that have created and personalized their account and applies to the first order only. This rule also applies to those referred through PureFormulas' "Give $5, Get $10" referral program.
  • Purchases: Each dollar ($1.00) spent on any order earns one Point.
  • Referrals: Customers receive 1,000 Points ($10) for each new enrollee they refer to PureFormulas.com. Points are only distributed after referral’s first completed order. Points will only be earned if referral’s first order is completed without using points.
  • Reviews: For every approved product review the user completes, 50 points will be awarded.

Points will appear in your PureFormulas account (30) days after your order is delivered. Until that time, Points will be shown as "Pending".

Any Points that have been earned through the PureRewards program will expire after 12 months.

Once Points have been accrued, they may be redeemed for Dollar Rewards.

For Example:
100 Points is worth $1.00 (One Dollar Reward)

Dollar Rewards can be redeemed at any time as long as the user has accrued the necessary Points. There is no minimum order value required in order to apply Dollar Rewards towards purchases, except for the initial 500 Points earned during new account creation [See “New Account Creation” above]. Dollar Rewards will expire after 12 months.

In order to utilize the PureRewards program and receive discounts on orders, PureFormulas members must apply Dollar Rewards during the checkout process.

There are no membership fees associated with PureFormulas’ PureRewards program. PureFormulas reserves the right to modify Point values at any time or terminate your participation in PureRewards if it believes that you have violated these Terms of Use, or that the use of your account is unauthorized, fraudulent or otherwise unlawful. Customers are not allowed to have multiple PureFormulas.com accounts for any reason. Each household (address) is only permitted (1) one account with PureFormulas.com.

Customers caught creating or using “dummy” accounts to gain points will not be tolerated.

PureFormulas reserves the right to terminate, discontinue, or cancel the PureRewards program at any time and in its sole discretion without notice (but in that case, we’d give you a heads up).

Points and Dollar Rewards are not meant to be used as money and may not be redeemed for cash. Once you redeem Points for Dollar Rewards, we’re unable to cancel or exchange said Dollar Rewards with the intention of restoring Points to your PureRewards account.

Any fraudulent or unauthorized use of your PureFormulas.com account or any Points or Dollar Rewards associated with it is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of your Points, Dollar Rewards, and/or the PureFormulas.com account in question.

By being a member of PureFormulas.com, customers agree to allow PureFormulas.com to contact them via email, phone, mail, and other channels of communication.

Customers receive 50 points for approved product reviews. Product reviews can be deleted or not approved at the sole discretion of PureFormulas.com. Customers attempting to submit any product review that PureFormulas.com finds to be untrue or spam will be removed and may result in the customer’s account being suspended or cancelled with their Points and Dollar Rewards removed and forfeited.

The referral program connected with the PureRewards program is meant to help customers gain Points by referring their friends and family. Sending your referral code or referral link in large email blasts to potentially unsuspecting or unwilling people (otherwise known as spam) can result in the termination of your reward points, and possibly your PureFormulas.com account.

There is no limit to how many Points an individual can earn or redeem in a given period of time.

Moshi for iPad
  • HTC Sensation 4G
    Posted on June 16, 2011 by Pure Mobile

    HTC Sensation 4GThe unlocked HTC (Sensation 4G) is a device that has received a lot of attention as of late and for a good reason - it is one of the better devices that T-Mobile has ever had available on their platform. The features are impressive, the specs may even surpass the features, and it is quick with almost zero noticeable lag. To say the least, it is a device that can compete with any smart phone that has been released in recent memory. Featuring the dual core Snapdragon processor and a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2, it packs a punch to remember.

    The design and look of the device is great. It is surprisingly lightweight, and features two LED flashes along with 1080p Hd video capturing technology. The front facing camera on the device allows for video chat, which seems to come standard on most devices today. The phone is thin, and can fit into a pocket comfortably without issue.

    HTC Sensation 4G

    It runs on the new Sense 3.0 user interface. Normally, user interfaces provided by companies are subpar, but Sense is ahead of the pack and runs on top of the Android operating system, providing a unique experience that is great for the phone. The phone has made some interesting changes to the way that browsing is done, but for the most part the device is the same in terms of usability. ‘

    The battery life of the phone is much better than previous HTC releases such as HTC Google Nexus One unlocked, HD7, etc.., and it boasts the longest battery life of any HTC release at this time. It is an amazing device, and although they could have shaved off some weight and allowed for the Snapdragon processor to keep up with the 1 GHz dual core Tegra 2, it runs seamlessly without lag or hiccups for the most part.

Shouting at the Sky: Troubled Teens and the Promise of the Wild

Article excerpt

Shouting At The Sky: Troubled teens and the promise of the wild By Gary Terguson Reviewed by Michael Gass, Ph.D., University of New Hampshire Reprinted with kind permission from The Outdoor Network Spring 1999 Vol. 10, No. 1, Page 24

Probably the most common T-shirt I've seen at any outdoor store or local crag is one with the saying, "Climbing may be hard ... but it's easier than growing up." Its commonplace existence has created a sort of apathetic perspective in me when I see it now. For a number of reasons, Gary Ferguson's new book Shouting at the Sky: Troubled Teens and the Promise of the Wild (1999, St. Martin's Press, NY) was a perfect antidote for any complacency I may rhave acquired. It brought me back to the reality that climbing is nowhere near as difficult as becoming an adult in our society, particularly for some adolescents. And like my work with kids similar to the ones whose stories are shared in the book, it led me to hug my own children a bit'tighter and think about my investment in them as a parent.

Shouting at the Sky is Ferguson's effort as a "nonadventure" person to describe the phenomenon of wilderness therapy programming - why it is occurring, where its value lies, what occurs on such experiences, and how it influences participants' lives. Ferguson accomplishes this through the life stories of clients, leaders, and administrators at the Aspen Achievement Academy in Utah. Ferguson does an excellent-job as an ethnographer in the story; he strives to tell us what's going on in these individuals' lives with the ever-present backdrop of the Utah wilderness providing the landscape. Although I sometimes I couldn't keep track of all of the characters in the book, their voices were realistic and telling.

Change or growth in the book is not limited to adolescents; Ferguson spends a fair bit of time discussing staff evolution as well as a bit of his own soul searching and the power of the wilderness.

For people familiar with wilderness therapy programs, there are no surprises in 'Ferguson's stories. The dependence of sometimes "requiring escort services, parents being placed in situations where they are asked to give up their kids in order to get them back, instructors needing to sleep with meds, suicide watches, dealing with runaways; staff burnout, instructors being placed in therapeutic situations without appropriate training, and the all-too-insular nature of wilderness therapy programming are all common themes. What is refreshing to see is the empathy toward clients taken by the Aspen Achievement Academy staff. As accurately described by Ferguson, there are all too many other examples in the wilderness therapy field of the "love you until it hurts" or""tough love in the woods" approaches that have claimed the lives of too many participants. Ferguson's background research on wilderness therapy programs is painfully accurate but insightful for us to hear: "[I was told that] this [Aspen Achievement Academy] was a good program, but good programs are the exception, not the rule" (p. 15).

What I found most remarkable in the book is the type of insight and "fairness" with which Ferguson observes the positive and negative aspects of wilderness therapy programming, as well as growing up as an adolescent in America, The lack of meaningful rites of passage, the obstacles facing youth, the failure in systems meant to support youth, and the constant need for parents and other adults to invest in time with their kids all ring loudly in Ferguson's lyrical, straightforward, and non-therapeutically expressed words.

Ferguson's best writing is achieved in the last three chapters, with the foundation of these chapters having been laid in the previous twelve. The reuniting with families and the real "struggle" and "tests" that face these youth after they leave the loving arms of the wilderness is the central concept that must be addressed by the wilderness therapy field (as well as most of the entire adventure programming field). …

Basics of an Article Spinner and Rewriter

Basics of an Article Spinner and Rewriter For those not in the know, article spinning is a search engine optimization technique where search engine optimizers post a unique version of an article will slightly altered content but ultimately is still the same article. Spinning works by having an article and rewriting it or rewriting only part of it. This is essentially done to avoid the penalties that are incurred for using duplicated content. Keep in mind that you can spin content you yourself write all you like but to spin content that someone else wrote and to claim it as your own is plagiarizing and illegal.

But the articles can be published by only one person and this is the problem which you can face while using the software. You can also try the free service of the software’s through the online option. You can download the trial version and learn how you can develop multiple copies from a single article. This will help you to gain more information and the skill to use the software but before that you must have some knowledge about the spooling network.

TBS - Non Duplicate Content

Article Builder is best if your site already fits into one of it's many categories or if you don't have a lot of time. The Best Spinner will work for articles of any category but requires a good bit of manual If you have the funds get both. If your niche is not covered by Article Builder then you can get PLRs and use The Best Spinner to spin them but then spin them properly. work.

If you duplicate the work, you will not get more readers. Every moment one bumps into a well written article, he/she would read it over and over again. But when one learns that the article has been duplicated, the writer will lose almost all the readers. An article which is not so impressive will help ruin the quality of information on the web.

In this age of advanced technology, many companies opt not to promote themselves in the web because search can be done on any product or service needed.

Article Spinning Software

Article Spinning Software

Due to the advances in promoting businesses online, a new type of making a text or generating content has become necessary in order to help produce a larger number of articles in less time. Market rules state that were there is demand the supply needs to appear soon. As a result, article spinning software was created to help create unique content.

The advantages of article spinning software are that it is affordable, you can create many articles daily which have relatively different content, and you do not even have to leave the house for a copywriter in order to obtain this; you may do all the work needed from your PC.

In spite the advantages already mentioned, there are a number of disadvantages you might want to consider before deciding to buy any sort of article spinning software. Here are some of these.

How To Avoid Duplicity In Content Filters

How To Avoid Duplicity In Content Filters.

To earn more profits it is important that you publish your articles on a number of web portals. But this does not mean that you post the same content on different websites because this is not possible. Google is very smart in tracking the articles which contain the same information and you will not be paid for those articles. Therefore you need to post creative as well as unique content on several websites.

But one might be thinking how it is possible to create different contents for several websites and earn lots of money. It is really a difficult task and also time taking.

Through the modern technology it has been possible that you can spin your articles and also rewrite them with the help of the special softwares designed for such purposes. The use of spinning programs began in the year 2006.

The software is able to create a number of copies of the same article but when it comes to quality writing you will have none in it. There are numerous grammar issues along with the syntax errors which are quite common. You will laugh when you will read the spun articles as the sentences do not make any sense. It appears as if the article is done by a small kid and even Google will discard your article.

To begin using the software it is essential that you have a good quality article so that excellent copies can be created from it. The way you employ the software is also necessary in order to come up with a unique content. This will make you proud and you will like to post it with your name. It will fetch you both money as well as reputation.

There are people who think that writing articles yourself is a waste of time so for them you have the PLR articles. You can spin these articles too through the software. But for better returns it will be good that you write original content by yourself.

Best Spinner allows you to spin an unlimited number of articles

The Best Spinner Review

The Best Spinner allows you to spin an unlimited number of articles. What I really like about The Best Spinner is that it pulls content from a huge database of synonyms generated from real people’s synonym suggestions (User Favorites). This is vital because they are normally much more accurate and ‘in context’ then from a dictionary or thesaurus. You simply have to paste your article in, click a button (select a few settings that are of course saved for next time) and the system automatically adds synonyms to most words in the article.

My team and I have been using The Best Spinner for almost two years now. We’ve tried a few other article spinners but none of them came close to what Jon Leger offers with his software. The best part is that Jon and his team keep improving the software. They recently updated it so it allows nested spinning and made it possible for third-party apps to use The Best Spinner (through API).

I plan to use this software for many years to come as nothing beats the synonyms from real life users, which is basically a team of user editors like at Wikipedia, where, with 1 click of a button, you get access to the best spinner top user favorites, ensuring the output is high quality. This software is ever evolving and very flexible allowing you to ‘nested spin’ making each article more unique and have a different structure (vital that they are different word lengths and structure to ensure they are seen as unique from the ever improving search algorithms! So my rating is that if you do SEO or online marketing, ‘the best spinner’ is a must have piece of software:

Overall Rating = 9.5/10!

The Best Spinner Review

The truth is, if this review seemed almost too positive to be true, I don’t what to tell you. I personally don’t see much downside to The Best Spinner. It’s incredibly easy to use, and it’s certainly the most powerful article spinner available today.

In essence, it’s designed to help save you time and energy, while creating alternative articles for you that make sense to the reader. That’s what’s important, and that’s what this software does best.

Time saved using the best spinner...

Since I started using the best spinner I was able to post twice as many blog posts as before. I get to save a lot of time as well with the Best Spinner. The depth of synonyms that it provides you with it is amazing.

It is all in the name. The BEST SPINNER. That name says it all. I would recommend this program to anyone intending to write a lot. Even if you don't like writing the Best Spinner has something for you in store as well.

Thanks a lot for this program Jon.

It is innovative.

Yes! I think you're on to something. It crazy how much nicotine takes over your mind. That's something I never really thought about, but it is a crazy, crazy drug. The sleep is actually starting to get better, thanks for sharing about that. I think realizing I need another way to deal with anxiety has helped a lot too. I didn't realize how much I was using smoking as a crutch for dealing with feelings.

Removing attachment from message
I have a filter that removes the attachment from an incoming message into a predefined folder. I then move the message to another folder, but the attachment is saved with the message, even though I have removed the attachment.

Is this something I am doing wrong, or a bug?

You cannot have a filter removes the attachment from a message as there is no filter action that does so. Probably you're mistajken about what your filter does.
I'm just a user of The Bat! I don't work for Ritlabs.
I thought perhaps it was a shortcoming of the software. I read the filter action 'Extract files to...' removed them from the message.

I then created a formatted message which strangely attaches the attachments to the new message.

So the question is - how do I get rid of the attachments when I move (or save a copy of) the messag
This can be done in many ways. Check filter action options. You can even delete some kind of attachmends like for example *.pdf. It's easy to make it work with hidden .bat proc create *.bat file put del c:\attachments *.pdf and then save attachments to c:\attachments and then call proc .bat and all pdf attachments will be removed. If you wanna remove all attachments then use *.* in the *.bat proc file.

About the Book

Know how to answer those most-asked questions—by using a scriptural perspective

The search for answers remains a valuable catalyst for the growth of personal faith. Ask Anything: A Pastoral Theology of Inquiry provides a fresh approach to answering questions of personal growth, facing problems, and building community. The questions most asked of today’s pastors and pastoral counselors are answered by integrating psychological with biblical/Christian perspectives. Jesus’ own questions from scripture are presented as a response to those difficult questions, sparking a self-reflective personal dialogue that illuminates as well as inspires.

As each of us journeys through life, urgent questions arise even for the most faithful. Each chapter of Ask Anything: A Pastoral Theology of Inquiry takes parishioners' most-asked questions about the basic issues of life, death, and faith, and connects them with Jesus' questions from scripture, allowing a new depth of introspection and thought. These questions open a free flow of ideas that refreshes personal perspectives and leads to a spiritual resolution for the issue at hand. Jesus' teachings spring to life through the questions from the gospels and the probing thoughts of contemporary authors and scholars, stimulating a productive inner dialogue and positive direction for reflection. Each chapter is carefully referenced and includes helpful exercises and questions for group discussion, counseling conversations, or personal contemplation. Appendixes are included with complete listings of Jesus' questions from the gospels as well as a complete bibliography to facilitate further research.

Ask Anything: A Pastoral Theology of Inquiry discusses these questions often asked of pastors:

  • Where do I find meaning in life?
  • How can I succeed?
  • What can I do to protect my children?
  • How can I know which leaders to trust?
  • What can I do about my battle with depression?
  • What can I do about my burnout and fatigue?
  • How can I know God loves me?
  • What is prayer?
  • What happens when I pray?
  • Why is my prayer unanswered?
  • Why is there suffering?
  • Where do I find hope?
  • What happens when I die?
  • What can I do about the pain of grief?

Ask Anything: A Pastoral Theology of Inquiry is inspiring, eye-opening reading perfect for pastoral and other Christian counselors, ministers with responsibility for preaching, and any layperson hoping to gather greater insight into Jesus’ personal answers to their own questions.

Thank Goodness for Manners

Teach politeness in the preschool years.

Learning Benefits

Hover over each Learning Benefit below for a detailed explanation.
Self Control

The development of decorum varies from child to child. But between the ages of 3 and 5, your child is most receptive to learning the rules of polite conduct. You can begin introducing manners into your child's daily routine practically from infancy. If your youngster likes to hand you his favorite stuffed bear, give him a smile and an enthusiastic "Thank you" when you accept it. When your family is gathered at the dinner table, be sure to say, "Please" or "May I?" when requesting the salt. Learning manners is easier for your child when it is the common practice in your household. Here are some ways to nip bad behavior in the bud:

  • Be a role model. Your child may pick up bad habits from a rude cartoon character or a playmate who whines to get her way. Try to supply good examples for your little one to counteract the negative influences. Try reading storybooks that showcase good manners.

    However, your child watches you more than he watches anyone else, especially in the impressionable younger years. Remember that you are his number-one role model! The best way to make sure he is polite is to be so yourself.
  • Start small and expand on rules. Learning is gradual. Don't expect it all to come together in a snap. Little ones can be forgetful, especially if too much is thrown at them at once — and that will only cause frustration on both ends.
  • Give reminders and reinforcement. If your child backslides, offer a gentle reminder. For example, if you begin to work on table manners at home ("See how Daddy uses his fork and knife? That's how grown-ups do it — let's see if you can too!") and it becomes a habit, try using the utensils at the next dinner at Grandma's. If your child reverts back to using her hands, point out quietly how good she is at using her fork at home. ("You were so good at it last night. I bet Grandma would love to see how grown up you can be!") Don't scold her, especially if it's her first outing. Children need positive reinforcement, so let yours know when you think she's done a great job!
  • Ignore poor behavior; reward good performances instead. Allow your child to pick out a treat at the grocery store once he's demonstrated good behavior such as sitting quietly in the cart, helping you pick out fruit, or carrying a bag. Soon he'll understand that his good behavior is appreciated and rewarded.
  • Be clear and consistent; explain why. Make sure any punishment fits the offense. If your child understands why she's not allowed to go swimming today (last time you went to the pool, she splashed too much and the lifeguard blew the whistle at her twice), then she will be less like to act out again. By the same token, if you let her slide, she will pick up on the inconsistency and try to get away with more next time around.

Always bear in mind that it's okay for your little one to make mistakes. Keeping good manners is a lifelong process. But do take the time to help him learn the skills that will allow him to become a more social, confident individual later on. Someday he'll thank you for a job well done!

Dinos' DNA Demise: Genetic Material Has a 521-Year Half-Life

A new analysis confirms the widely held suspicion that DNA from dinosaurs and ancient insects trapped in amber cannot be recovered to make a 'Jurassic Park'-style theme park
dinosaurs, half-life, fossils

M. Møhl

From Nature magazine

Few researchers have given credence to claims that samples of dinosaur DNA have survived to the present day, but no one knew just how long it would take for genetic material to fall apart. Now, a study of fossils found in New Zealand is laying the matter to rest — and putting paid to hopes of cloning a Tyrannosaurus rex.

After cell death, enzymes start to break down the bonds between the nucleotides that form the backbone of DNA, and micro-organisms speed the decay. In the long run, however, reactions with water are thought to be responsible for most bond degradation. Groundwater is almost ubiquitous, so DNA in buried bone samples should, in theory, degrade at a set rate.

Determining that rate has been difficult because it is rare to find large sets of DNA-containing fossils with which to make meaningful comparisons. To make matters worse, variable environmental conditions such as temperature, degree of microbial attack and oxygenation alter the speed of the decay process.

But palaeogeneticists led by Morten Allentoft at the University of Copenhagen and Michael Bunce at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia, examined 158 DNA-containing leg bones belonging to three species of extinct giant birds called moa. The bones, which were between 600 and 8,000 years old, had been recovered from three sites within 5 kilometres of each other, with nearly identical preservation conditions including a temperature of 13.1 ºC. The findings are published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Diminishing returns
By comparing the specimens' ages and degrees of DNA degradation, the researchers calculated that DNA has a half-life of 521 years. That means that after 521 years, half of the bonds between nucleotides in the backbone of a sample would have broken; after another 521 years half of the remaining bonds would have gone; and so on.

The team predicts that even in a bone at an ideal preservation temperature of −5 ºC, effectively every bond would be destroyed after a maximum of 6.8 million years. The DNA would cease to be readable much earlier — perhaps after roughly 1.5 million years, when the remaining strands would be too short to give meaningful information.

“This confirms the widely held suspicion that claims of DNA from dinosaurs and ancient insects trapped in amber are incorrect,” says Simon Ho, a computational evolutionary biologist at the University of Sydney in Australia. However, although 6.8 million years is nowhere near the age of a dinosaur bone — which would be at least 65 million years old — “We might be able to break the record for the oldest authentic DNA sequence, which currently stands at about half a million years,” says Ho.

The calculations in the latest study were quite straightforward, but many questions remain.

“I am very interested to see if these findings can be reproduced in very different environments such as permafrost and caves,” says Michael Knapp, a palaeogeneticist at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.

Moreover, the researchers found that age differences accounted for only 38.6% of the variation in DNA degradation between moa-bone samples. “Other factors that impact on DNA preservation are clearly at work,” says Bunce. “Storage following excavation, soil chemistry and even the time of year when the animal died are all likely contributing factors that will need looking into.”
