State Road 126 (SR 126) is a state highway in southern Jacksonville, Florida, United States, running along Emerson Street. It runs from State Road 13 (Hendricks Boulevard) east across U.S. Highway 1 (Philips Highway - SR 5) and Interstate 95 (SR 9). East of I-95, SR 126 splits from Emerson Street, turning northeast on the beginning of the Emerson Expressway (originally the Emerson Leg of the Hart Bridge Expressway). SR 126 ends where the Emerson Expressway becomes a divided freeway. (Emerson Street continues east as a city street to Spring Glen Road just south of U.S. Highway 90 (Beach Boulevard - SR 212).)

The rest of the Emerson Expressway is the unsigned 0.93-mile (1.50 km) State Road 228A (SR 228A), running roughly north from the end of SR 126 to a merge with State Road 228 (Hart Bridge Expressway). Other than at SR 228, it has one interchange - a full six-ramp partial cloverleaf at U.S. Highway 90 (Beach Boulevard - SR 212).

The part of SR 126 east of US 1, and the whole of SR 228A, is signed (concurrently in the case of SR 126) as part of U.S. Highway 1 Alternate. SR 126/Emerson Street is the only non-freeway section of US 1 Alternate, which bypasses downtown Jacksonville to the east via the Hart Bridge.

A heat bath is a system whose heat capacity is so large that when it is in thermal contact with some other system of interest its temperature remains constant. This is because the heat bath is unperturbed when in thermal contact with the system of interest. Thus the heat bath is effectively an infinite reservoir of energy and accessible quantum states at a given temperature. For low rates of heat transfer, the atmosphere is a heat bath.

The Jacksonville Beaches, known in the area as “The Beaches” or simply “The Beach”, is the collective name for the towns and communities on the northern half of San Pablo Island island between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean on Florida’s First Coast. The Jacksonville Beaches are located in Duval and northern St. Johns Counties, and make up part of Jacksonville’s metropolitan area.

Three incorporated towns are included in the Jacksonville Beaches, they are Jacksonville Beach itself, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach. All three maintain their own municipal governments, but have been part of the City of Jacksonville since the governments of Duval County and Jacksonville were consolidated in 1968. The communities range from Mayport, home of Mayport Naval Station, to the north of Atlantic Beach, to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida and Palm Valley, south of Jacksonville Beach in St. Johns County. Communities on San Pablo Island closer to St. Augustine are generally not included. Recently, neighborhoods on the west side of the Intracoastal have started calling themselves part of the Jacksonville Beaches, though Beaches residents have always maintained a distinct cultural identity and traditionally refer to any residents on the inland side of the intercoastal (a.k.a. The Ditch), including all of Jacksonville, as “townies.”

The Beaches, one of Jacksonville’s most popular attractions, are one of the most obvious centers of “beach” culture in Jacksonville. Various centers of restaurants, shops and bars along the Beaches form one of the primary recreation and cultural centers for all of Jacksonville.

In telecommunications, a block check character (BCC) is a character added to a transmission block to facilitate error detection.

In Longitudinal redundancy checking and cyclic redundancy checking, block check characters are computed for, and added to, each message block transmitted. This block check character is compared with a second block check character computed by the receiver to determine whether the transmission is error free.

Kinematic coupling describes fixturing based on geometric constraints. For example, three non-parallel groves in one part mate with three hemispheres in another. Each hemisphere has two contact points for a total of six contact points, enough to constrain all six of the part’s degrees of freedom.

Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy is a book by Kevin Bales, President of Free the Slaves. It describes modern slavery as a global phenomenon and investigates how it exists in five countries.

Desmond Tutu calls the book “A well-researched, scholarly and deeply disturbing exposé of modern-day slavery with well-thought-out strategies for what to do to combat this scourge. None of us is allowed the luxury of imagined impotence. We can do something about it.”

University of California Press; Revised edition (November 1, 2004) ISBN 0-520-24384-6, 298 pages.

Cytorrhysis is the complete collapse of a plant cell’s cell wall within plants due to the loss of water through osmosis. This usually follows plasmolysis. Cytorrhysis will cause a much greater loss of shape and structure.
Usually this is very bad for the cell, resulting in extreme damage and possible death of the cell.
Actually cell wall is not destroyed. The vacuole seems to increase in size and finally its collapses and its components are released in the cytosol.The plasma membrane seems to be appressed to the cell wall. Cytorrhysis occur when the size of the molecules constituting the osmoticum exceeds that of the pores of the cell wall matrix .What is happening to various organelles of the plant cell?

A radius rod (also called a radius arm or a torque arm) is a suspension member intended to control wheel motion in the longitudinal (fore-aft) plane. The link is connected (with a rubber or solid bushing) on one end to the wheel carrier or axle, on the other to the chassis or unibody of the vehicle.

Radius rods typically are mounted ahead of the wheel. In that position they resist dive under braking forces and wheel hop under acceleration.

Radius rods are customarily made of stamped steel or aluminum for lightness, as they are part of the vehicle’s unsprung weight. Improvements in composite materials technology make possible plastic suspension links, although they are still uncommon.

Other suspension components can be made to act as radius rods under certain conditions. For example, the rear suspension of the original 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado used shock absorbers to connect the rear beam axle to the frame; these shocks controlled longitudinal wheel movement, but their damping action prevented the forces of those movements from being felt by the passengers.

On a vehicle with longitudinal leaf springs, such as a Hotchkiss drive suspension, the springs themselves provide some longitudinal wheel control. One or more torque arms may be added to provide supplementary wheel control, particularly for vehicles with strong torque such as drag racers. On some leaf spring-equipped vehicles, such as 1960s Chrysler Corporation cars, the springs are mounted so that a greater portion of the spring’s length is forward of the wheels, improving wheel control on acceleration. A side effect of such positioning is that the shorter, aft portion of the springs may not be stiff enough to control wheel movement under braking forces, which can lead to pronounced wheel hop in hard stops.

The Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Badge is an identification badge of the United States Navy which is presented to the Master Chief of the Navy (MCPON) upon assuming office. The Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Badge is the highest in a series of Chief Petty Officer Identification Badges. Originally, the full-size badge was worn on the lower left pocket below all awards and warfare pins. Effective 1 October 2004, the badge was moved to the wearer’s right, above the shirt pocket, and the miniature version of the badge replaced the full-size badge, to be more in line with where Commanding Officers wear their command-at-sea pin. NAVADMIN 274/06 effective 25 September 2006 returned the full-size badge to its original position.

Because the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy badge is considered an identification pin, there are no additional criteria for its issuance other than the wearer hold the office of MCPON. It is typically not issued as an award on a DD Form 214 but, as the office of MCPON is normally a terminal assignment, the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Badge is normally included as a decoration in retirement shadow boxes.

In programming, glue code is code that does not compute anything functional towards meeting the program’s requirements, but instead serves solely to “glue together” different parts of code that would otherwise not be compatible. Glue code often appears in code written to let existing libraries or programs interoperate, such as in foreign function interfaces like the Java native interface.

Glue code provides functionality to combine different components

Purposes of glue code include:

• Control flow: Invokes functionality of the underlying components as required
• Component bridge: Glue code can resolve any interface incompatibilities between components, for example by performing any necessary data conversions (mediator)
• Exception handling: By trapping exceptions the glue code can provide a consistent exception handling mechanism
