In the plumbing industry, water conduits have been typically formed of copper pipe. Joints between pipe sections and external connections to flexible conduits, faucets, etc., had been made with solder.
In rough framing a building or home, the pipes are mounted within the wall and/or floor or ceiling and terminate in a “stub out” which is a short length of pipe extending through an opening in a wall. Prior to connecting the stub outs to the building or home fixtures, a pressure test is required. A pressure gauge is attached by solder to one of the stub outs. All of the remaining stub outs are closed by caps which are also soldered on each stub out. The system is then pressurized to detect any leaks.
After the pressure test is completed, the caps and the pressure gauge are removed from the stub outs and the plumbing fixtures attached. Typically, a shut off valve is soldered to many of the stub outs, with an external conduit, which can be formed as a flexible hose, attached to the shut off valve by solder or tightenable compression fittings.
As is evident from the typical building or home plumbing installation, a considerable amount of time is involved in soldering the caps and the pressure gauge to all of the stub outs to perform the code required pressure test and then unsoldering the caps and the pressure gauge prior to soldering shut off valves to the stub outs for connection to the building plumbing fixtures. As a result, the plumbing industry is under increasing pressure to migrate to easy connections for service and hook up of building and home water supply systems. Such easy connections must take into account the code required sealed system pressure test and the typical drywalling around a stub out prior to the connection to the final shut off valve.
Thus, it would be desirable to provide a water supply shut off valve having quick connection features. It would also be desirable to provide a water supply shut off valve having quick connection features which also provide water delivery regulation features. It would also be desirable to provide a water supply shut off valve with quick connection features in which the quick connect connector has an integrated safety shut off if the external plumbing fixture endform or connection is not properly inserted into the quick connector or becomes disconnected from the quick connector.

Lesson: Soldering in Plumbing

Introduction:
Soldering is a process of joining two metals together by melting a filler metal with a lower melting point than the base metals. In the plumbing industry, soldering is commonly used to join copper pipes and fittings. This lesson will teach you about the basics of soldering in plumbing and its applications.

Section 1: Materials and Tools Required for Soldering

Before starting soldering, you need to gather the necessary materials and tools. These include:

1. Copper pipes and fittings
2. Solder (a mixture of tin and lead or tin, copper, and silver)
3. Soldering flux (a chemical substance that cleans and lubricates the surface of the metals)
4. Soldering iron (a tool that heats the solder and the metals)
5. Safety goggles and gloves
6. Pipe cutters and file
7. Wrench or pliers
8. Tongs
9. Hammer

Section 2: Preparation for Soldering

Before starting soldering, you must prepare the metals for joining. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Clean the metals: Use a cleaning solution or sandpaper to remove any dirt, grease, or oxide layer from the surfaces of the metals. This ensures that the solder adheres well to the metals.

2. Apply flux: Apply a thin layer of soldering flux to the surfaces of the metals. This helps to prevent the formation of air bubbles and oxidation, which can hinder the bonding of the metals.

3. Heat the metals: Use a soldering iron to heat the metals. The temperature should be high enough to melt the solder but not too high to cause damage to the metals.

Section 3: Soldering Techniques

There are several techniques for soldering copper pipes and fittings. These include:

1. Capillary soldering: This technique involves heating the end of the pipe and dipping it into a pool of molten solder. The solder wicks up the pipe and creates a strong bond.

2. Hand soldering: This technique involves applying solder to the joint and heating the metals until the solder melts and bonds the metals together.

3. Brazing: This technique involves heating the metals to a high temperature and adding a brazing alloy, which has a higher melting point than solder.

Section 4: Safety Precautions

Soldering can be dangerous if not done properly. Here are some safety precautions to follow:

1. Wear safety goggles and gloves to protect your eyes and hands from hot metals and chemicals.
2. Work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume extractor to avoid inhaling toxic fumes from the soldering flux.
3. Keep flammable materials away from the soldering area to prevent fires.
4. Use caution when handling hot metals and tools.

Conclusion:

Soldering is an essential skill in the plumbing industry. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can learn how to solder copper pipes and fittings safely and effectively. Remember to always use proper safety precautions and take your time to ensure a strong and durable bond.

text: Music Show 17 November 2012. Nigel Butterley wanted to be a composer from the age of 15. His music somehow avoided the style wars of 1960's Australian composition and he went on to find his own voice in significant works like In the Head the Fire, Laudes and From Sorrowing Earth by digging deep into his love of poetry and biblical texts; he also performed in the Australian premieres of Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot lunaire and John Cage's Sonatas and Interludes. Nigel Butterley talks to Andrew Ford on The Music Show this week as we continue to celebrate Australian Music Month. Also on the show: music in Mali- the songs of Boubacar Traore who is currently in Australia, and a sobering view of threats to musicians in northern Mali from journalist Andy Morgan. And why German Serialist composer Hans Werner Henze and American modernist Elliott Carter were important composers in very different ways.

Lesson: Understanding Climate Change Through the Study of Core Samples

Introduction:
Climate change is a pressing issue that has been affecting our planet for decades. It is caused by various factors such as the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In this lesson, we will learn about climate change and how scientists study core samples to understand the past climate and its relationship with the current one.

Section 1: Understanding Climate Change

Topic 1: What is Climate Change?
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures, precipitation, and other weather patterns. These changes are largely caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. The effects of climate change include rising sea levels, more frequent and intense natural disasters, and the extinction of many plant and animal species.

Topic 2: The Greenhouse Effect
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the Earth warm. However, human activities have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, causing the Earth's temperature to rise, leading to global warming and climate change.

Topic 3: Evidence of Climate Change
Scientists use various methods to study and understand climate change. One way is by analyzing core samples taken from deep beneath the Earth's surface. These samples provide information about the Earth's climate in the past, allowing scientists to compare it to the present climate and see how it has changed over time.

Section 2: Studying Core Samples

Topic 1: What are Core Samples?
Core samples are small cylinders of rock or sediment that are drilled or cored from deep beneath the Earth's surface. They provide a record of the Earth's history, including its climate, geology, and life forms. Scientists can study these core samples to learn about the Earth's past climate and how it has changed over time.

Topic 2: Analyzing Core Samples
Scientists analyze core samples by studying the layers of rock and sediment found within them. Each layer represents a specific period in the Earth's history, and by examining the composition and structure of these layers, scientists can determine what the climate was like during that time. For example, if a layer contains evidence of icebergs, it indicates that the Earth's temperature was lower during that time.

Topic 3: Comparing Past and Present Climate
By comparing the climate of the past as recorded in core samples to the present climate, scientists can see how the Earth's climate has changed over time. This information helps us understand the causes and consequences of climate change and how it may continue to change in the future.

Section 3: Applying Knowledge to Real-World Scenarios

Topic 1: How do we know if our actions are contributing to climate change?
We can measure the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and compare it to historical data to see if our actions are contributing to climate change. We can also look at the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels and more frequent natural disasters, to see if our actions are making things worse.

Topic 2: What can we do to reduce our impact on climate change?
There are many things we can do to reduce our impact on climate change. We can reduce our carbon footprint by using public transportation, biking, or walking instead of driving. We can also switch to renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power. Additionally, we can reduce our waste by recycling and composting, and eat a plant-based diet to reduce the demand for meat production.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding climate change and how it has affected the Earth in the past is crucial to predicting its future effects and taking action to mitigate them. By studying core samples, scientists can learn about the Earth's climate history and compare it to the present climate. This knowledge can help us make informed decisions about how to reduce our impact on climate change and create a more sustainable future.

Lesson: Introduction to Black Power Studies

## I. Theoretical Concepts
Black Power Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the historical, social, cultural, and political experiences of people of African descent in the United States and around the world. It encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including Africana studies, law and society, women's and ethnic studies, and political science. The field is focused on understanding the complexities of race, power, and identity within the context of American democracy.

## II. Practical Examples
One practical example of Black Power Studies is the study of the Civil Rights Movement and its impact on American society. This includes examining the role of leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Stokely Carmichael in shaping the movement and how their ideas and actions contributed to the broader struggle for racial justice. Additionally, Black Power Studies can be applied to the study of contemporary issues such as mass incarceration, police brutality, and economic inequality.

## III. Real-World Scenarios
A real-world scenario in which Black Power Studies can be applied is the analysis of the 2020 presidential election. By examining the ways in which race and power played a role in the campaign, we can better understand the challenges facing African Americans in the political process. For example, we can look at the impact of voter suppression laws, the role of money in politics, and the influence of media narratives on public opinion.

## IV. Self-Debating Discussions
One self-debating discussion question is: How does the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow continue to shape American society today? This question can be explored through the lens of education, housing, healthcare, and criminal justice. By examining these areas, we can see how systemic inequalities persist and how they are reinforced by institutional racism.

## V. Key Terms
- Africana Studies: An interdisciplinary field that examines the experiences of people of African descent throughout the world.
- Law and Society: An interdisciplinary field that examines the relationship between law and society, including how legal institutions shape social behavior and vice versa.
- Women's and Ethnic Studies: Interdisciplinary fields that examine the experiences of women and various ethnic groups in society.
- Political Science: The study of politics and government, including the behavior of individuals, groups, and institutions.

## VI. Conclusion
Black Power Studies is an important field of inquiry that helps us understand the complexities of race, power, and identity in American society. By examining historical events, contemporary issues, and theoretical concepts, we can gain valuable insights into the experiences of people of African descent and the broader struggle for racial justice. By applying the principles of Black Power Studies to new problems, we can work towards creating a more equitable and just society.

High-pressure adaptation by salt stress in a moderately halophilic bacterium obtained from open seawater.
High-pressure adaptation was examined using a moderately halophilic bacterium (Micrococcus roseus), which was isolated from open seawater and capable of growing in 15% w/v NaCl (optimum NaCl concentration: 3% w/v). After treatment at 207 MPa, colony-forming units (CFUs) significantly decreased; however, the loss of integral cells after pressure was only 30% when direct cell count was performed microscopically. In order to investigate the piezotolerance of M. roseus under high pressure without morphological change, the survival of cells was examined under pressure at 138 MPa for 2 h. M. roseus in 3% NaCl was still sensitive to pressure at 138 MPa. However, the cells in the third generations showed remarkably increased pressure resistance, and no significant loss of viability was confirmed. Furthermore, when M. roseus was cultured in 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15% NaCl, the survival ratio proportionally increased at increased NaCl concentration. M. roseus cultured in 15% NaCl was remarkably resistant (94.7% viability) to pressure at 138 MPa, even when suspended in lower concentration of NaCl. This suggests that NaCl concentrations in growth culture affect the piezotolerance of M. roseus and that this species has an ability to adapt to high pressure.

Lesson: High-Pressure Adaptation in Microorganisms

## Section 1: Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn about high-pressure adaptation in microorganisms. High pressure is an environmental factor that can affect the growth and survival of microorganisms. Some microorganisms have developed mechanisms to adapt to high pressure, allowing them to survive and grow in environments with high pressure. We will focus on a moderately halophilic bacterium called Micrococcus roseus, which was isolated from open seawater and can grow in 15% w/v NaCl.

## Section 2: High-Pressure Adaptation in Microorganisms

### Subsection 2.1: Piezotolerance

Piezotolerance refers to the ability of an organism to withstand high pressure without damage. Microorganisms can develop piezotolerance through various mechanisms, such as changes in cell wall structure, alterations in membrane composition, and the production of protective proteins. In this lesson, we will focus on the piezotolerance of Micrococcus roseus under high pressure.

### Subsection 2.2: High-Pressure Adaptation in Micrococcus Roseus

After treatment at 207 MPa, the colony-forming units (CFUs) of Micrococcus roseus significantly decreased. However, when direct cell count was performed microscopically, only a 30% loss of integral cells was observed. This suggests that Micrococcus roseus can adapt to high pressure without morphological change.

To investigate the piezotolerance of M. roseus under high pressure without morphological change, the survival of cells was examined under pressure at 138 MPa for 2 h. M. roseus in 3% NaCl was still sensitive to pressure at 138 MPa. However, the cells in the third generations showed remarkably increased pressure resistance, and no significant loss of viability was confirmed.

Furthermore, when M. roseus was cultured in 1, 3, 5, 10, and 15% NaCl, the survival ratio proportionally increased at increased NaCl concentration. M. roseus cultured in 15% NaCl was remarkably resistant (94.7% viability) to pressure at 138 MPa, even when suspended in lower concentration of NaCl.

## Section 3: Conclusion

In conclusion, high-pressure adaptation in microorganisms is an important factor in their survival and growth in environments with high pressure. Micrococcus roseus, a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from open seawater, has developed piezotolerance mechanisms that allow it to adapt to high pressure without morphological change. By understanding these mechanisms, we can better understand the capabilities of other microorganisms and develop strategies for their use in various applications.

Q:

Is it possible to access a controller's instance variable in a partial if the partial is being rendered by a different controller's view?

Hi guys thanks in advance for the help. I am building a sort of online game using rails. The user interface is all supposed to be centered around one page: users/... I am running into an issue in creating and interacting with objects outside of users. For example, within the user page users are supposed to have the ability to create a fortress. The fortress of course is its own object with its own model and controller. If I were to try to put a form to create a fort using the form_for tag in the users page, the form wouldn't be able to access the fort controller's @fort instance variable and would throw an error. In my attempt to solve the problem I have created a partial view for forts called _new.html.erb containing the fort form
Here it is:

Create a New Fort

    <%= form_for(@fort) do |f| %>
    <%= render 'shared/error_messages' %>
      <%= f.label :name %>
      <%= f.text_field :name %>

      <%= f.label :ownership %>
      <%= f.text_field :ownership %>

      <%= f.label :xco %>
      <%= f.text_field :xco %>

      <%= f.label :yco %>
      <%= f.text_field :yco %>

      <%= f.label :territory %>
      <%= f.password_field :territory %>

      <%= f.submit "Create a Fort" %>
    <% end %>

I then render that partial in my user show.html.erb here:
<%= render "forts/new" %>

Of course moving the form to a partial does nothing at all, but what I was hoping to do was something along the lines of this:
<%= render partial: "new", object: @fort %>

I would like to pass the fort instance variable into the partial then render the partial in the users view. I recognize however that the variable passed to the partial as described above comes directly from the view the partial is rendered in, and at that realization I am at a loss for ideas.
I have considered the key might be somewhere in associations and I have been crawling the internet for info on that. My models are set up so a user has_many forts and a fort belongs_to a user. I don't know whether or not that will help.
All help is appreciated,
Thanks loads,
Alex P

A:

I think what you are looking for is accepts_nested_attributes_for. This RailsCast explains how it is used.
In your case you would add accepts_nested_attributes_for :forts to your user model. I'm not sure what your user/show view looks like, but you should just be able to add a <%= f.fields_for :forts do |f| %> which would contain the fields currently in forts/new.

textbook: It depends on how the controllers and views are set up. If the partial is being rendered by the same controller that has access to the instance variable, then it should be possible to access the instance variable in the partial. However, if the partial is being rendered by a different controller, then it may not be possible to access the instance variable directly. In this case, you may need to pass the necessary information to the partial through parameters or store the information in a session or cookie.

Lesson: Introduction to Crystals and Their Healing Properties

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Crystals have been used for centuries for their healing properties. They are made up of minerals that form a solid lattice structure. When they come into contact with the human body, they can absorb and emit energy, promoting physical and emotional well-being. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of crystals and their healing properties.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

One type of crystal that is commonly used for healing is quartz. It is known for its ability to amplify energy and can be used to help with manifestation and intention setting. Another popular crystal is amethyst, which is believed to help with stress relief and relaxation.

We will also explore the use of sunstone in healing. Sunstone is known for its ability to clear and activate all energy pathways, helping increase the power of other stones. This makes it an ideal stone to use in combination with other healing crystals.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Now that we have explored the theoretical concepts and practical examples of crystal healing, let's look at some real-world scenarios where crystals can be used. For example, someone who is feeling anxious or stressed may benefit from carrying a piece of amethyst with them throughout the day. Similarly, someone who is trying to manifest their goals may find that using a quartz crystal helps to focus their intentions and bring them to fruition.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we have explored the world of crystal healing and its many benefits. We have learned about the different types of crystals and their healing properties, as well as practical examples of how they can be used in everyday life. By understanding the power of crystals, we can harness their energy to promote physical and emotional well-being.

Lesson: Introduction to Cryptography

### Section 1: What is Cryptography?
Cryptography is the practice of securing information by converting it into a code that can only be understood by those who possess the necessary tools to decipher it. It is used to protect sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal data from unauthorized access.

### Section 2: Why is Cryptography Important?
Cryptography is important because it helps to ensure the privacy and integrity of data transmitted over networks. It prevents unauthorized individuals from accessing or altering information without detection. Cryptography also plays a crucial role in securing financial transactions, protecting military communications, and safeguarding electronic voting systems.

### Section 3: Types of Cryptography
There are two main types of cryptography: symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric cryptography uses the same key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric cryptography uses two different keys - one for encryption and another for decryption. Asymmetric cryptography is more secure than symmetric cryptography because it is much harder to crack the code.

### Section 4: Practical Examples
A practical example of cryptography is the use of passwords to protect access to computer systems. Passwords are encrypted using a complex algorithm so that even if someone gains access to the system, they cannot easily determine the password. Another example is the use of digital signatures to verify the authenticity of electronic documents. Digital signatures use public-key cryptography to ensure that the document has not been tampered with and that it was sent by the person claiming to have sent it.

### Section 5: Self-Debating Discussion
Cryptography is an essential tool for protecting sensitive information in the digital age. However, as technology advances, so do the tools available to hackers and cyber criminals. Therefore, it is crucial to continually update and improve cryptographic methods to stay ahead of potential threats.

### Conclusion
In conclusion, cryptography is a fundamental tool for protecting sensitive information in the digital age. By understanding the basics of cryptography, we can better appreciate its importance and application in various fields. As technology continues to evolve, so too must our understanding and implementation of cryptographic methods to ensure the security of our personal and professional data.

Adaptation of immigrant psychiatrists from the former Soviet Union in the Department of Mental Health of the Israel Defense Forces.
Psychiatrists from the former Soviet Union serve in the Department of Mental Health of the Israel Defense Forces. The new immigrant psychiatrists confront a wide range of difficulties during the process of integration to the military system and adaptation to the specifically military aspects of psychiatry. These include unfamiliarity with the military system, cultural clashes with the different groups of soldiers representing the various subgroups of the absorbing society, the psychopathology of soldiers, which is different from that seen in civil psychiatry, and the change in focus in the military mental health service, which emphasizes the importance of evaluating ego strength. Arbitrarily, one can describe four stages of adaptation that the immigrant psychiatrist has to pass through before recruitment and during service until adaptation and integration in the new role take place. Individual and group supervision are the main means by which the assimilation process is eased. The military service smooth the acculturation process and has an important role in helping the immigrant's adaptation to Israeli society and in building his or her professional identity.

Lesson: Adaptation of Immigrant Psychiatrists from the Former Soviet Union in the Department of Mental Health of the Israel Defense Forces

**Introduction**

In this lesson, we will learn about the adaptation of immigrant psychiatrists from the former Soviet Union in the Department of Mental Health of the Israel Defense Forces. We will cover the challenges they face during the process of integration to the military system and adaptation to the specifically military aspects of psychiatry.

**Section 1: Challenges Faced by Immigrant Psychiatrists**

Immigrant psychiatrists from the former Soviet Union face several challenges when they join the Department of Mental Health of the Israel Defense Forces. These challenges include:

1. Unfamiliarity with the military system: The military system is different from what they are used to, and they need to learn how to navigate it.
2. Cultural clashes: They may experience cultural clashes with the different groups of soldiers representing the various subgroups of the absorbing society.
3. Psychopathology of soldiers: The psychopathology of soldiers is different from that seen in civil psychiatry, so they need to adapt their approach accordingly.
4. Change in focus: In the military mental health service, the emphasis is on evaluating ego strength, which is different from civilian psychiatry.

**Section 2: Stages of Adaptation**

Arbitrarily, we can describe four stages of adaptation that the immigrant psychiatrist has to pass through before recruitment and during service until adaptation and integration. These stages are:

1. Pre-recruitment stage: This stage involves preparation for recruitment and includes learning about the military system and culture.
2. Recruitment stage: In this stage, the immigrant psychiatrist joins the military system and starts working as a psychiatrist.
3. Mid-service stage: At this stage, the psychiatrist gains experience and starts to feel more comfortable in the military system.
4. Post-service stage: In this final stage, the psychiatrist has fully adapted to the military system and feels at home.

**Section 3: Conclusion**

In conclusion, the adaptation of immigrant psychiatrists from the former Soviet Union in the Department of Mental Health of the Israel Defense Forces is a complex process that involves overcoming several challenges. By understanding the stages of adaptation, we can better support these psychiatrists as they integrate into the military system and provide them with the resources they need to succeed.

**Glossary**

- Military system: A system used by armies to organize and manage their personnel and resources.
- Psychopathology: The study of abnormal behavior and mental disorders.
- Ego strength: The ability to maintain a sense of self-esteem and confidence in the face of challenges or adversity.

**Self-Debate Discussion**

1. How might the challenges faced by immigrant psychiatrists from the former Soviet Union differ from those faced by other immigrants in similar situations?
2. What strategies could be used to help immigrant psychiatrists adapt more quickly to the military system?
3. How might cultural differences between the psychiatrist and the soldiers they treat impact the quality of care they receive?
