![]() ![]() They are most commonly installed using a distribution, such as TeX Live, MiKTeX, or MacTeX. TeX and LaTeX are available for most computer platforms, since they were programmed to be very portable. Optional, and recommended installations include an attractive editor to write LaTeX source documents (this is probably where you will spend most of your time), and a bibliographic management program to manage references if you use them a lot. More specifically, the basic requirement is to have a TeX compiler (which is used to generate output files from source), fonts, and the LaTeX macro set. TeX Distributions help the user in this way, in that it is a single step installation process that provides (almost) everything.Īt a minimum, you'll need a TeX distribution, a good text editor and a DVI or PDF viewer. Acquiring them manually would result in downloading and installing multiple programs in order to have a suitable computer system that can be used to create LaTeX output, such as PDFs. LaTeX is not a program by itself it is a document preparation system along with a language. When you later feel that you would benefit from having a standalone LaTeX installation, you can return to this chapter and follow the instructions below. These websites offer collaborative editing capabilities while allowing you to experiment with LaTeX syntax - without having to bother with installing and configuring a distribution and an editor. For quick testing purpose you may just create a user account with an online LaTeX editor such as Overleaf, and continue this tutorial in the next chapter. If this is the first time you are trying out LaTeX, you don't even need to install anything.

![]() These values are only possible if the members are made with the SS grade (structural select) Duglous fir-larch wood type. But again, this is speaking to what I would consider mid-level work as opposed to high end.According to the International Residential Code 2021 (IRC), the maximum length a 2圆 can span as a floor joist is 12’-6”, as a ceiling joist is 20’-8”, as a rafter is 18’-0”, as a deck board is 24', and as a deck joist is 9’-11”. Most any time we have tried to work large structural members into a project where any building department is involved, those elements are quickly phased out of the project due to cost. For that reason, most large timber frame operations carry their own in-house grading and engineering and then of course the liability coverage to protect themselves. It's next to impossible to pay for large graded timbers in all but the highest end work. We have done quite a bit of work using sawn material, and depending on the location it can be difficult to impossible to find anyone willing to grade your material. Knots in a member doesn't inherently indicate a thing. He is actually opening himself up for future liability in that he acted as the lumber grader in that situation. Beyond that the engineer has no jurisdiction over refusing a piece of lumber, as he is simply not a lumber grader and likely holds no grade stamp or education in the matter. The builder/customer then has to decide which they can integrate into the project based on size and cost. He may even call out several different size members based on a number of material grades readily available in a given area. The engineer is supposed to do his calculations calling out a specified size member for a specified span based on a given grade of material. Each step in the process is simply a cover-your-butt situation for each trade. The engineer technically has no right to refuse anything if the material is graded. The hard part about it (it becomes political) is it all falls back to the grading. It was easy to deal with because they weren't installed yet. The engineer rejected 2 of the 8 foot ones because they had knots in them. The last ones were all 8 foot span, and I was using 3" by 12" solid fir. The next spanned 23 feet, and it was 3" by 18". The longest spanned 34 feet and I was told I would need an engineered beam 5" by 27" and laminated. I did a partial post and beam house and there were three areas that had support beams. I will take a look at the codes and the other suggestions, especially the mid span post, arched gussets, and Ted Benson's book. You are looking at a pretty massive beam to carry any 20' span.Īll great suggestions. As has been mentioned, there is simply no way an 8x8 is going to carry 20', even carrying its own weight. The formulas and tables list nearly every span imaginable along with all the various design loads. That said, if the building department doesn't apply, you can simply calculate your beam based on a low grade of material to cover the worst case scenario. This will never fly in an area where work is to be inspected by the building department, as they will require an engineer for any such application and the engineer will then require the lumber to be graded, which will likely not be possible if you are having the material sawn. There is always one caveat - you will have to trust in yourself as the lumber grader. You can pick up Ted Benson's book "Building the Timber Frame House." In the back of the book there are all the formulas, tables, and example calculations for sizing sawn beams. Maybe if you integrated some arched gussets. Even with your light load, you are pushing at 20' plus the uplift and side shear for the wind. Any professional carpenter will tell you the same thing.Ī 6 x 8 will span 12' for flooring. Stop agonizing over it and add a mid-span post. An 8x8 (even with no load) would sag under its own weight at that distance. Seems to me you're trying to talk yourself into a full span of twenty feet or more. There are span tables based on load and species. Get a copy of the UBC or code that is relevant in your area. The plan I imagine is that the 8x8 will be the center beam of a pergola with bamboo covering the top from the beam to the end of the pergola. The tables are usually based on allowed deflection, not ultimate strength. There are tables for stress rated lumber that show allowed sizes. Much of what the width is doing is keeping the beam from rolling sideways (why a 2x12 that is only 1.5" wide can span 16'). Too many things missing! Are the 8x8's used as joists? How far apart? What is the deck? What is the live load? Any codes involved? The width of a joist/beam is not nearly as important as the depth. ![]() And our next step we're going to see a sample dining hall called Maple Street Commons.

In the end, Kropotchkin was sentenced for 14 years in maximum-security penal colony, but many of his photos, videos and screenshots made it to the Internet, inexplicably.Įven now, no one is sure how all that stuff leaked online. Many said back then that the police dumped it because they had it. Everyone was terribly afraid of their parents finding out, but when it all surfaced online, we felt it was the end. Why did Babko become so popular?ĭespite the fact that distribution of child pornography is forbidden by law in Russia, screenshots and photos of the girl became the source of numerous ‘CP’-themed jokes and memes (CP stands for ‘Child Porn’ in English). Even now, you can still find some of these on 2ch.hk and in social media.Īccording to Babko herself, she became so popular simply because she starred in the most videos. Why did I turn out so popular in the end? Because I received the most custom orders. Naturally, one cannot lead normal modern life in isolation from the Internet and all that gets posted there, so other children began bullying the girl. My worst life period was between 12 and 16 years, after all that stuff made it to the Internet. No one suspected a thing before the photos and the videos leaked, because all court hearings were strictly private. The girls usually just said something along the lines of ‘whore’ or ‘prostitute’. It was the boys who acted aggressively, humiliated and bullied me. Maria admits she has tried to commit suicide three times because of all the bullying both in real life and in the social networks. She had to change school five times and eventually also abandon the college. So why did everyone start talking about Babko again? The broad public never suspected anything about the girl’s suffering all along. If convicted, Prine faces 10 years to life in prison.Not long before she turned 20, Maria decided to return to the online world and started actively maintaining her social pages using her real full name. The children were about that old, the detective replied. “That,” referred to, in Prine’s words “sexual interaction between family members.”ĭid the mom like to participate (in the incest and child rape) or just watch? “I enjoy both,” the detective replied, before asking Morton for his age preferences. “Are you into that?” Prine had written to the detective earlier. Earlier, Prine had explained in explicit detail exactly what he hoped to get out of the encounter: This case presents a world of smoke and mirrors.”Ī world of smoke and mirrors that nevertheless resolves into a pretty damning scene: Police busted Prine, carrying a pizza box, as he approached the supposed 32-year-old mother’s apartment on Nov. “It is not just officers who pose,” he told the court. Prine’s lawyer is taking the “Internet as fantasyland” defense, claiming his client was simply role-playing. hristmas”ĭetective James Morton, who posted the ad, was using the capital letters as a simple code: In pedophile circles, PTHC stands for “pre-teen hardcore.” The ad was an invitation, and Prine took Morton up on his offer. “P.hamily fun serious replies only bama won yes T.erday and kansas state lost don’t forget to H. The flurry of emails began with this message posted to the “Casual Encounters” section of Craigslist: Jurors heard opening statements yesterday in the case of Alan Preston Prine, 60, arrested last November after exchanging more than 200 emails with an undercover officer posing as a 32-year-old housewife offering up her two pre-teen kids for sex.

![]() I figure we can make it across town, but when I stop at the end of my driveway long enough for my daughter to run inside, it stalled. So, yesterday.I intend to take the car to Mazda and after starting my car it shakes and sputters even worse than before. I let the car sit for a couple days until I can deal with it and borrow my parent's car in the meantime. It starts fine and we drive the short distance home. I start it back up, and it sputters again. Not sure if they always light up when a car ceases. My car started rumbling again, and shut off on me. So two days later, I drive to my daughter's bus stop and I usually get there a couple minutes before the bus so I keep the car on. I drove it around the neighborhood, sat idle for a bit, drove some more. I'd rather do whatever I can myself anyway. After wasting so much money and being a single mom, I said screw it. I go buy oil and a new oil filter, and changed both myself. The stick is nearly dry! I didn't appear to be leaking oil, nor did I smell it burning off. I shut off the engine, restart, sounds good, and cancel our plans and take the car straight home. ![]() As we are idled, the vibration becomes more violent. It caught me off guard and I immediately pulled off a side street. Lets cut to two weeks later, while I'm driving with my daughter my car starts vibrating/sputtering as I accelerated. I didn't think I needed to prime the engine with my car, so I didn't. I had 16 miles since the light came on, which I know was risky, but while driving across country I have had to drive up to 38 miles after the light came on. My car shut completely off as I pulled up to a gas pump. We drove quite a bit all week and on my return trip from the airport a few days later, my gas light came on as I drove to the next exit. The major troubles began a few weeks ago, I had topped off my oil before going to get my boyfriend from the airport two hours away. My mechanic's attitude was as if it weren't very important. They didn't make a big deal of it, so I didn't know I should either. My engine light is on, and has been on for the duration of the many visits to their garage. And my service guys just gave me the codes and said to "maybe" go to Mazda to find out what they were. After dumping $7000 into a car in three months that I can no longer sell for enough to buy a beat up, rusted out 1978 VW Beetle, I am at my wits end that it is still having issues. Of course, since I had a great nine worry-free, trouble-free years with it, everything needs replacing at once. I am the original owner of a 2003 Mazda Protege5, with just over 165k. ![]() ![]() Or, better yet, replace them.Īlthough the liquid mercury in fever thermometers is less toxic than the form of mercury found in fish, inhaling it can still cause damage to the lungs, kidneys, and brain. Women with a high blood mercury level who are planning to start a family may decide to postpone pregnancy for a few months until that level drops. If you have concerns about your mercury consumption, ask your physician for a blood mercury test. Forgo the big predators and pick the little guys, like anchovies, sardines, and scallops, which are lower in mercury. Fish and shellfish like eel, salmon, crab, and clam are lower in mercury. If you’re pregnant, nursing, or planning a family, you can reduce mercury exposure from sushi by holding back on all types of tuna, mackerel, sea bass, and yellowtail. Popular sushi fish are often the apex predators of the food chain, so they tend to be high in mercury. Children should avoid that fish altogether, and women of childbearing age should stick to no more than four ounces per week. The rules change when it comes to albacore tuna. A four- or five-year-old child should eat only about four ounces of light tuna per week. A 130-pound woman can eat almost two six-ounce cans of light tuna a week and stay within the EPA-recommended safe zone for mercury. If you or your kids regularly eat canned tuna, stick to light or skipjack tuna, and limit it to less than two servings a week. Tuna is the most common source of mercury exposure in the country. Women who are pregnant or nursing or who plan to become pregnant within a year should avoid eating these fish. King mackerel, marlin, orange roughy, shark, swordfish, tilefish, ahi tuna, and bigeye tuna all contain high levels of mercury. For more information about the specific mercury levels of your favorite fish, see our Smart Seafood Buying Guide. But you don’t need to eliminate fish altogether to stay in the mercury safe zone. Cooking has no effect on it, and you can’t avoid it by cutting off the skin or other parts of the fish. You can’t see, smell, or taste mercury contamination in fish. Big predatory fish, like sharks or tuna, can have especially high concentrations in their bodies. That pollution can travel halfway around the world and then settle into lakes, rivers, and oceans, where it is absorbed or ingested by small organisms and then starts working its way up the food chain, its concentration rising with each step. Mercury is spewed into the air from coal-burning power plants and factories. ![]() Be finicky about fish.Įating contaminated fish is the number one cause of mercury exposure in America. Here are a few easy ways to minimize exposure. NRDC puts that number as high as 265,000 newborns every year.īut enough of the scary stuff. Environmental Protection Agency estimates-conservatively-that more than 75,000 babies are born each year with a greater risk of learning disabilities because of their mothers’ mercury exposure. Even small amounts of mercury can interfere with brain development, making exposure particularly risky for children younger than six and women in their childbearing years. While mad hatters are a thing of the past, mercury exposure is now a serious and widespread health problem. Before scientists became aware of the toxic effects of mercury-it poisons the kidneys and nervous system-this seemingly magical metal was widely used in medicine, cosmetics, and industries like hatmaking. ![]() ![]()
The duo's next six releases peaked at no lower than #3 on the Top 100 "Close to You".
