A Short History of DeWalt Power Tools

Various companies in the construction and woodworking industries have been using DeWalt power tools since the company's inception in 1924. But the groundwork of what was to become DeWalt was laid in 1922, when company founder Raymond e. DeWalt perfected the world's first radial arm machines in response to the demands of his job at the time. This machine, known as the "Wonder-Worker," greatly increased the versatility of woodworkers, and was the company's first product offering when it opened its doors two years later. DeWalt increased its capacity to serve the needs of clients by moving to an advanced facility in Lancaster, Pennsylvania five years afterwards.

The company began to grow rapidly in 1941 to meet the rapid demand for its tools, stimulated by World War II. In theyears after the war, the company continued to grow, expanding into Canada, and introducing new products such as metal-cutting machines and bench grinders, as well as increasing the capacity of its plant.

In 1992, the company kicked its product line into high gear, introducing a new line of portable electric power tools and related accessories aimed specifically at professionals. DeWalt's line of tools was expanded greatly when over 30 other cordless drills, and saws.

Frustrated With Everyday Mathematics/UCSMP? Why Is It So Different?

Recently while researching UCSMP, University of Chicago School Mathematics Project, for a completely different article, I came across articles about the elementary school version of this program, Everyday Mathematics. I found many, many articles written mostly by mothers. These articles quite literally radiated with anger and total frustration at their inability to help their children. One mother had reached the end of her ability to cope with the frustration and had shouted "I hate math" in front of her child. My first reaction was to try to call this mother to offer support and help if possible. With that approach not being possible, I decided an article would reach more people. A little understanding goes a long way. I think it will help a little to know how this series came tobe and why.

In my 1988 school district started using the UCSMP series. The Chicago Series, as we called it, was brand new. So new that it wasn't complete. At that time, the series started with Transition Math, which was actually pre-algebra; and that was the only book actually written and published. We added the next course the next year and continued this pattern until the high school program was complete. The year we were to add Geometry, the books weren't ready at the beginning of the school year, so we were sent photocopied sections that we had to copy for our students. The elementary version wasn't started until after the six-year program for grades 7-12 was complete.

Because the Chicago Series was so new and so very different from traditional math series, our districtmath teachers received a great deal of training directly from the University of Chicago and from the editors of the books. We were immersed in the research that lead to the development of the series and the philosophy behind the series. We were trained in how to alter our teaching methods to best take advantage of the strengths of the series, we were trained in how to teach reading in a math class because no other math texts expected students to read, we were trained in graphing calculator usage, and we were trained in how to educate and work with our parents because this component alone can make or break a new approach.

The research that the University of Chicago had conducted had to do with the percentage of review vs. new material that existed in math textbooks. The researchshowed that with the assumption that 1st grade math texts contained 100% new material, the texts for grades 2 through 8 contained 75% review material and only 25% new material. But starting with 9th grade Algebra, those percentages totally reversed. Students were not able to deal with the enormous amount to new information and skills being thrown at them. Students failed Algebra is large numbers. So the 1st change needed to be stretching out the normal four years of high school math to six years over grades 7-12. This decreased the amount of new material covered each year.

The other issue to be addressed was retention of material. The old "skill and drill" approach that most of us remember involved learning a new skill each day followed by 40-60 homework problems of practicing thatskill. Once the test was over, chapter that skill might not be seen again until the final exam. The retention rate was very poor. Chicago instituted the "spiraling" approach to learning and retaining skills. Each section usually introduced a new skill, but fewer problems were given at first and mastery was not expected. But review was built into every homework section so that by the end of the year the student had as much or more skill practice as the old style approach, but because that practice was spread out over the entire school year, retention of all the skills greatly increased.

I won't say that there weren't problems. Every new series receives resistance from parents (and some teachers). But I taught this series for many years. Except for Geometry, I taught every math coursefrom Algebra to PDM (Pre-Calculus and Discreet Math), and both of my children went through the entire high school part of the series. Over the years I saw a definite improvement in student understanding of mathematics. (I will also admit that I learned more about the importance and application of mathematics from this series than I did in college!) Before the Chicago Series I had taught out of "New Math" texts (in the ' 70 's) and more traditional math texts in the 80 's. The "New Math" of the ' 70 's actually caused more harm than good to mathematical understanding, and traditional texts produced students who where temporarily strong in basic math skills (the HOW of mathematics) but totally lacking in any actual understanding of the WHY of mathematics. Without the Why part, students seldomretained the basic skills longer than a few months. True mathematics success requires both the HOW and the WHY. The Chicago Series was the first series to actually begin to accomplish both. (And I am thankful that my children were taught from this series.)

You know that this country is in serious trouble with respect to mathematics education. It was recently announced that we (the US) rank 31st of 56 countries in mathematics and only 6% of our high school students take higher level math. And the latter applies to both public and private schools. The failure rate for 1st year Algebra is a terrible 50%. This was true when I started teaching in 1972 and is still true today. During the past 40 years, mathematics instruction has cycled through about six major (country-wide) philosophicalchanges, and none has had a major positive impact on mathematical understanding or results.

Many of the articles I read made a plea to return to "skill and drill" math; but, keep in mind that we have "been there and done that." It didn't work then and it won't work now. What we need is a totally new approach. UCSMP did have the right idea and was beginning to make the change we need. Unfortunately, there are two major requirements of UCSMP which are not being met and parents are feeling the results. Whether it is the elementary level or the high school level, UCSMP requires YEARLY teacher training for the new math teachers, and even more important is the need for constant training and parent involvement. When these needs aren't met, the result is the anger and frustration theseparents are feeling.

So what do we do? Until that "new" perfect approach "comes along, we need to make the best of what we have. Because this article got longer than intended, I decided to split it into two parts. The next article will include a short review of the problems and offer these parents 5 suggestions for getting help. The title of that article will be "Frustrated with Everyday Mathematics/UCSMP? 5 Reasons This Happens and 5 Suggestions For Help. " Please keep in mind that it is our children we need to consider. Returning to unsuccessful methods will do them no favors; and adult discomfort with what is different is not the reason to delete an approach with promise.

Frustrated With Everyday Mathematics/UCSMP? Why Is It So Different?

Oil Is Being Produced At the Earth's Core

A few months ago I wrote an article on oil that I would now like to advance the story on with this bit of perception and research that came from the book by Jerome Corsi called "Black Gold Stranglehold."

Nikolia Kudryavisev

Back in the days of Stalin a Russian Professor one 1951 Nikolai Kudryavisev perceived to belief that was later to become know as the Russian-Ukrainian theory of deep petroleum origins. The professor basically shoots down the theory that oil was formed from the remnants of ancient plant and animal life. The theory put forth by the professor and dozens of Russian scientists that followed his work states that the origin of oil came from deep within at the earth's core. Russian scientists at the time believed, as well as most of the academic community ofthat was, the ILO should be perceived as a primordial material that the earth forms at its core and squeezes out by the earth's rotation on a continuous basis.

Oil Produced By the Earth's Core

They believed the ILO was a natural resource of the earth that was produced by the earth's core and because of the earth's rotation & force was slowly oozed out centrifugal exp upward through cracks in the earth's substructure to form large pools sometimes close to the earth's surface. Thus their belief that oil could be found if only we obtained the knowledge of where these pools of oil existed close enough to the earth's surface to be able to drill and find it.

Stalin

This belief was not advanced for the world's consumption because Stalin had no particular reason at the time to passthis belief on to his enemies at the time which the U.S. and Britain. In addition all of the information was written in Russian by Russian scientists and published only in the Soviet Union at the time. Few American or British scholars at that time thus negating their read Russian gate to this theory.

The Theory of 1859

Some of the best Western scholars had the theory from 1859 dead set in their minds that the ILO was a fossil fuel thus eventually we would run out. They believed the Russian theory was to ill informed idea simply because it was beyond anything Western scholars could perceive as the truth at the time and beyond conventional wisdom.

A-biotic Oil Origins

The past fifty years Russian scientists have published thousands of academic articles that advance andsubstantiate the theory of deep, a-biotic petroleum origins. Many thousand of other articles have also been generated by chemists, geologists, physicists, all expounding and validating the theory that oil is produced at the earth's core on a continuous daily basis.

Today the origin of oil theory is widely accepted by Russian scientists even though the rest of the world believes the old fossil theory that originated from theorist in 1859. Few of the Russian scientists theories have never been translated in to English so that the rest of the world can know what the acceptable theory among the academics in Russia is.

Running Out of Oil?

Generations of Americans and Westerners over the years have had the mistaken belief that we are indeed running out of oil. Thus the beliefthat our capitalistic oil companies are intent on making hideous profits at our expense making our lives miserable and driving the price of everything we buy to unrealistic levels. Any idea that competes with the fossil theory is mocked, ridiculed, and marginalized to the extent that is not examined for the truth that might be found. This is the only way that radical environmentalists can continue their adolescent attacks on the world's oil companies. This keeps the oil companies from drilling for new oil and keeps a stranglehold on production so that radicals can call the American oil companies at its worst corrupt capitalists.

Radical Environmentalists

The very thought that oil might be produced daily at the earth's core and that oil could be a renewable resource is indeedvery threatening to radical environmentalists who have their own agenda that is not the world 's. The idea that we are running out of oil, that oil has finally had its hay day and now we need to find alternative sources is the mindset today. This serves companies that are in competition with big oil to come up with alternative ideas for energy like the burning of corn fuel. Turning corn into fuel has already driven the price of red meat to astronomical levels because there is just so much corn produced every year and corn fuel takes away from the feed of cattle making it more expensive to use as feed.

Choosing the Right Tomato Pots

I wanted to have a tomato garden in my apartment but there is just no space for an outdoor garden. So I went to a local nursery and asked for some advice on how to start a tomato garden indoors. The first advice was to choose the right tomato pots. This involves the size and the type of pots or containers to use that would go along with the indoor set up.

I learned that the right size of tomato pots must have the capability to support a productive, full grown plant. A single tomato plant can grow for a season in an 18 inch pot. Keep in mind that the weight of the pot and the drainage system should also be considered when choosing pots for your tomato plants.

To be more specific, a pot or container at least 12 to 16 inches deep is ideal for your tomato plants. Mosttomato plants, including cherry tomatoes, grow large and need a lot of space for maximum production. The larger your pot, the larger the amount of tomato fruits your plant will produce. Some pots come with holes in the bottom, but if you think that it's not sufficient enough to drain excess water drill at least four small holes. If your pot has large holes that allow too much drainage, place coffee filters at the bottom before adding your soil.

Another thing I was advised to consider when choosing a container for tomato plants is the material of the pot. Water-proof plastic and fibreglass pots have the tendency to retain moisture. I know they are ideal containers for tomato plants than clay or terracotta plants. Besides, plastic pots are less expensive and do not break easily. Ceramicclays are sealed with glazed. Another option is wooden planters. However, they are not sealed, so you have to seal them first before you can use them. In the long run they discolor and get splintered.

Another option to consider when saving money is recycling old containers. You can look around the house and you are sure to find something that can be used as pots. I'm sure you have an old five-gallon bucket somewhere in the shed that can be used as a pot. How about half wine barrels or wooden packing cases that are stashed somewhere in the basement? Bear in mind, though, that the recycled things should be made of non-toxic material and are able to provide drainage at the bottom. If there is no hole at the bottom, drill some holes big enough to drain excess water and yet small enoughto keep the soil intact.

In the end, your good judgment should be used in picking the right tomato pots. With plenty of options to choose, let's begin planting our tomato plants.

FITT-Intensity of Training

Having established the necessary frequency of work outs needed to achieve your own peak performance in sports, the task is now to determine how intensive each session should be. In fact, the intensity for different session may differ from session to session. Sometimes, one session maybe very intense to stimulate maximal growth, whereas the next session can be extremely light to allow for rest and recovery of the muscles and cells. It is important to cater the intensity of your training sessions to what is required and also what your body can handle. A professional adult sportsman might be able to handle the most intensive work out, but the same work out intensity might not apply to school athlete. It is best to work with an experienced coach or expert when planning trainingintensity.

Broadly speaking intensity of training can be conducted in the following ways

a. Heart Rate based Training

For any age group, there is a way to calculate the estimated maximal heart rate of an athlete. Physiologists have long agreed that the formula for this is to subtract your age from 220. That would give you your estimated maximal heart rate. The figure 220 has been derived from studies and experiment conducted over a lengthy period of time. Basically, it is the maximal heart rate of an infant at birth. As you can see, the older one gets, the lower your maximal heart rate. Once you have rough estimate of your maximal heart rate, you can than peg your training intensity to your heart rate to maximize gains from your training. So if you want to exercise at70% intensity, your will have to ensure that your exercise raises your heart rate and maintain to 70% of maximum.

Let's take the example of a 20-year-old cyclist wanting to ride 50 mile at 70% intensity. For this cyclist his estimated maximal heart rate would be 200. 70% of 200 will be 140. For his 50 mile ride, he will have to ensure that his heart rate hits 140 beats per minute for the duration of his ride. Your question now might be how can he measure and ensure that his heart rate is at 140 for the entire 50 mile ride. There are a few ways to measure your heart rate during training. Use a heart rate monitor that can be worn around your chest while training. The reading is taken from a wrist watch which is part of the accessory of the heart rate monitor. This is a fairly accuratemeasuring instrument. A more practical approach is to measure your pulse rate over 10 seconds and than multiply that figure by 6, which will give you your heart rate for beats per minute. However, this method cannot be done continuously. The athlete would have to rely on the occasional measurement and rely on his own feelings to gauge the intensity level of the training.

b. Breathing-Rate based Training

Tracking your breathing rate is also a good way to ensure that your training intensity is up to the required standard to achieve peak performance in sports. There is a very simple and universal way to measure your breathing when exercising. As you are exercising, when you reach the point where you can barely hold a conversation with your training partner, you have reached 70%intensity of training. At that point, your body systems have probably reached a point where the entire oxygen uptake, energy expenditure is needed more Vietnam to fuel your exercise intensity. From this point on, it is not difficult to raise intensity levels to 80%, 90% and even 100%. If you want to measure exact breathing rate and use it to gauge exercise intensity, than this could be done similarly as measuring your heart rate over 10 seconds and than multiplying by 6. Do the same for breathing rate. Count the number of breathes taken in 10 seconds and than multiply by 6 to get your breaths per minute.

c. Volume based Training

Volume of training refers mainly to mileage done in a session. Mileage here often refers to aerobic activities like running, cycling, swimming,aerobics, skipping, hopping, low resistance weight training, etc. All this volume training is to be done at 60-70% of maximal aerobic intensity to stimulate growth. Time is not a factor. The focus here is to ensure that activity is continuous over a prolonged period of time. The intensity of training is measured by the volume of exercise done. How many miles do you run? How many steps vital for athletes lock volume based training to improve aerobic endurance for peak performance in sports.

d. Repetition Based Training

By repetition based training, we mean to plan and run your training using sets and repetitions to stimulate growth. The intensity of training here can be measured in terms of having more sets and repetitions included in training.For example, coaches can plan for many sets, and subsequent repetitions increase the numbers to increase intensity of training. In any given training work out, the athletes can perform a pre-determined number of exercises. Each exercise will require certain number of sets and repetitions to be completed in order to gain objectives for peak performance in sports. Again, the direction set by the coaches is important. Each session with its exercises, sets and repetitions must have objectives.

e. Recovery based Training

Determining the recovery periods and frequency during a training session can also be used to determine the intensity of training. In a low-intensity work out, the number of recovery intervals and duration of each recovery could be lengthy. This low-intensity workouts are man for beginning athletes, or they can be done during off-season phase where the aim is to just retrieve or cross train. When the fitness levels of athletes are higher or when greater improvement in peak performance in sports is needed during the in-season, then recovery periods can be cut down to have a higher intensity training session. Again the inputs from the training programme and coaches are crucial. During different periods of the season, different intensity of training are called for, and recovery periods and duration can be used to set intensity level.

f. Speed Based Training

Using a Usenet Search Engine

A Usenet Search Engine allows users to comb through the thousands of posts and files contained on the numerous newsgroups that make up this portion of the Internet. The Usenet is not as broadly-publicized and, therefore, is not as widely known or used as are other forms of Internet communication technology. This is unfortunate as there are myriad advantages to this form of communication and there are security enhancements that make it more private and safe than many other forms of peer-to-peer file sharing.

Searching Usenet requires more of a specialist search technology than other types of search engines. A typical internet search will return possibly millions of pages based on a few keywords and those pages will be scattered all over the Internet. An internet search enginedetermines the relevance of any given page by various algorithms and, as any Internet user knows, there is no overarching organizational scheme to the Internet at large. Suffixes such as dot-com, dot-net, dot-org and are essentially meaningless at this point and cannot be relied upon to define the content the pages on those sites contain.

Usenet search technology benefits from searching through a service which is hierarchically-organized by design. For example, if one limits their search to only a few newsgroups whose content is relevant, they can be assured that the returned results will not be spammed content or other attempts at misguiding navigating to a user into the wrong page. Newsgroups are very well maintained where organization is concerned and being able to drill down intothis way is a feature that should be offered by any Usenet search service. It saves a great deal of time and effort and allows users to expand and contract search parameters intelligently as they go along.

A Usenet based search engine also allows the user to search for only specific types of content. On newsgroups, any file that is intended to be downloaded and used on a computer is called a "binary". One can search only groups which have binary files attached to the posts to eliminate irrelevant returns in their results. Compare this to a regular Internet search where one is looking for pictures of dogs, as an example. One will likely get pages of information which are stories about dogs, drawings of dogs, products for dogs and so forth. With a newsgroups search, one can simplyspecify "pictures of dogs" and search for binaries group where there are sure to be many examples of what is desired.

Search engine services for Usenet are available all over the Internet. One can specify the length of time since the post was made in their search, which groups they wish to search and much more. There are few more efficient ways to find information. Of course, basic text-string searches are also very easy which allows a user to find specific conversations which are of interest to them. These can be narrowed down by group focus to make sure those results returned are always relevant.

DIY Dishwasher Installation

The dishwasher has become an essential part of many of our lives. There is no more the need to spend hours scrubbing away the dirt and grime-sticky the dishwasher will do it all. For those that are confident in carrying out home repairs and renovations themselves to new or replacement dishwasher installation can be completed without the expense of a professional plumber and this will inevitably help you to save a few bucks.

Dishwasher Installation Procedure

Before starting, it is essential to carefully review the manual provided. This will make it easier to identify various parts of the dishwasher, and any parts or instructions that are specific to the dishwasher you purchased and intend to install.

For new dishwasher installations, the next step is to selecta preferred location. It is generally recommended that this location is close to the kitchen sink, as this will be the most convenient and will mean that the dishwasher is close to a water supply, again negating the need to call in a plumber to ready water supply pipes. You will have to connect the hot water supply line, the drainage hose and the electrical cables. Ensure that the selected place has all the necessary connection points.

You will also have to ensure that the dishwasher fits in the cabinet or designed space. Most dishwashers have a standard opening of 24 ". Experts also state that most kitchen cabinets are 24 "wide. Hence, you shouldn't face any trouble when installing the dishwasher if everything is to standards (but keep in mind that of all things life and cabinetsizes seem never to be to standards). Measuring the width of your dishwasher and the cabinet will ruin the surprise but is probably a worthwhile exercise.

or Once you have done with the measurement, you will have to drill holes in the lower part of the base cabinet for the drainage hose, water supply line and the electrical cables.
or Using a compression clamp, connect the drain hose to the drain outlet located behind the back of the dishwasher. Also attach the 90-degree bass fit at the back of the dishwasher.
Now place the dishwasher or in front of the cabinet. Make the required height adjustments.
or The next step in the dishwasher installation process requires the removal of the access panel by unscrewing the two screws located on each side of the panel.
or Ensure that the electrical cables and the water supply line are properly aligned to where they need to go beneath the dishwasher. The waterline needs to be attached to the 90-degree brass fitting. . Also feed the drain hose through the sink.
or Now, start sliding the dishwasher in its place. If you want to prevent causing damage to the floor, consider attaching protective slides to the rear legs.
or The dishwasher should be in alignment with the counter top and the cabinet. In case of improper alignment, you can adjust the front feet of the dishwasher.
or Now, connect all the wires. Remember that a black wire should be connected to a black screw. In other words, all the wires should be connected with their corresponding screws by matching the colors. But remember theground wire should be connected to the green screw.
or Now, re-attach the access panel.
or The next step in the dishwasher installation is the checking for leakages. This involves opening the hot water line so as to allow the flow of water. Any leakages will be promptly detected.

Thus, dishwasher installation is an easy process that can be done by anybody who has a basic knowledge of plumbing. For those that aren't competent with this sort of plumbing jobs, professional plumber is always an option.
