Wireless communication systems and, specifically, wireless dispatch systems are known. Such wireless dispatch systems provide dispatch services that allow groups of mobile users to communicate spontaneously as a group without the need for arranging a conference call. In today's wireless dispatch systems, each group member must carry a radiophone device, and remain within the coverage area of the dispatch system to maintain communication with the group.
With the recent proliferation of Internet technologies and the ubiquitous nature of Internet access today, a great variety of existing technologies are integrating with and exploiting the Internet. Integration of wireless dispatch systems with the Internet, could enable dispatch users to maintain dispatch communication using a computer connected to the Internet, for example, in place of a radio-telephone device that must remain within the coverage area of the dispatch system. Thus, a group of users, some with radio-telephones and others, dispatch clients, with computers connected to the Internet from anywhere in the world, could communicate as a group just as groups of radio-telephone users do today.
Therefore, a need exists for an apparatus and method for providing dispatch service to dispatch clients via a packet-switched network such as the Internet.

Three Warrior starlets in Under-21 Six Nations clash

Warriors forwards Matt Cox and Matt Mullan and wing Alex Grove are all set to feature in the Under-21 Six Nations clash between England and Scotland at Bath's Recreation Ground on Friday (7.30pm).

All three have enjoyed impressive form in Sixways Academy and Guinness A League matches this season and will be bidding to make a big impact in the game, the night before the two senior sides run our at Twickenham.
Nigel Redman and assistant coach Mark Mapletoft have called up the cream of England's young talent for to the Under-20s squad with flanker Cox, 18, and prop Mullan, 19, both training alongside Brian Ashton's first team at the University of Bath this week.
Scotland Under-20 coach, Greig Oliver, has already named his starting line-up and Grove, 19, has been handed the number 11 shirt.
The four home nations, Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales, will field U20 teams in this year's U21 Six Nations Championship, whilst France and Italy will field U21 sides.
And Worcester Academy manager Andrew Stanley and assistant Gary Meechan are delighted that the Worcester trio have earned call-ups.
"We're delighted for the lads and we hope they have a great experience," said Stan. "It's good to see both Matt Mullan and Matt Cox in the sqaud and it reflects the kind of season they have had with us. They will now both be able to transfer that into England representative work.
"It makes it even better for us with Alex Grove selected to start for Scotland in the same game. To have three players from Worcester Warriors in a game of this nature is a real positive and reflects well on what we're doing here at Sixways."
England follow their opener against Scotland by playing Italy Under-21s, again at the Rec (February 9), Ireland Under-20s in Athlone (February 23), France Under-21s at Northampton (March 9) and Wales Under-20s at Newport (March 16).
Redman said: "I firmly believe that we are looking at the players who will be in contention for England in the 2011 and 2015 Rugby World Cups.
"These guys are probably halfway through a 10-year development process and to test themselves against the best in Europe at their age group is something I am looking forward to watching.
"This tournament will pose a different set of problems for them. Some of these guys have broken into their club first teams and are playing Guinness Premiership and European rugby which is fantastic but I want to see how they get on having to make decisions without senior players around them."
Scotland coach Greig Oliver added: "The Under-21 Six Nations presents a great opportunity for these players and international rugby is what every player aspires to.
"There is no greater challenge than playing England, in England, and the coaching team is looking forward to seeing how the players react to such an intense and physical environment."

Tickets are still available for the Six Nations Under-21 clash between Scotland and England on Friday, February 2nd (kick-off 7.30pm) and England versus Italy at the same venue on Friday, February 9th (kick-off 8pm). Tickets start from as little as £8 for adults, £6 concessions and £4 for children. However, if you buy both games at the same time, you will get the Italy tickets for half price! Prices start from £12 for adults, £8 concessions and £6 for juniors for both matches. Tickets are available from the box office on 0871 721 1865.

Lesson: Introduction to Algebra

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with the manipulation of symbols, usually letters or variables, to represent numbers or other values. It is used to solve equations, which are statements that two expressions are equal. Algebra is an essential tool in many fields, including science, engineering, economics, and finance.

In this lesson, we will cover the basics of algebra, including:

1. Variables and Expressions
2. Equations and Solving Techniques
3. Linear Equations
4. Quadratic Equations
5. Polynomials

Section 1: Variables and Expressions

A variable is a letter or symbol that represents a value that can change. In algebra, variables are used to represent unknown values in an equation. An expression is a combination of variables, constants, and operators that represents a single value.

Example: Let x be a variable that represents the number of apples. The expression 3x + 2 represents the total number of apples if we multiply x by 3 and add 2.

Section 2: Equations and Solving Techniques

An equation is a statement that two expressions are equal. To solve an equation, we need to find the value of the variables that makes the equation true.

Example: 2x + 5 = 10

To solve this equation, we can isolate the variable x by subtracting 5 from both sides and then dividing by 2:

2x + 5 - 5 = 10 - 5
2x = 5
x = 5/2

Section 3: Linear Equations

Linear equations are equations that can be written in the form of ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are constants and x is the variable. These equations can be solved by using the same techniques as for any other equation.

Example: 3x + 2 = 10

To solve this equation, we can isolate the variable x by subtracting 2 from both sides and then dividing by 3:

3x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2
3x = 8
x = 8/3

Section 4: Quadratic Equations

Quadratic equations are equations of the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and x is the variable. These equations can be solved by using the quadratic formula:

x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

Example: x^2 + 3x - 5 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we get:

x = (-3 ± sqrt(3^2 - 4(1)(-5))) / 2(1)
x = (-3 ± sqrt(19)) / 2

Section 5: Polynomials

Polynomials are expressions consisting of one or more terms, each of which is the product of a constant and a variable raised to a power. Polynomials can be used to model real-world phenomena, such as population growth or the behavior of a spring.

Example: 3x^2 - 5x + 2

This polynomial represents a parabola that opens upward since the coefficient of the x term is negative. The vertex of the parabola is at (2.5, 1), and the axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = 2.5.

Glossary:
- Variable: A letter or symbol that represents a value that can change.
- Expression: A combination of variables, constants, and operators that represents a single value.
- Equation: A statement that two expressions are equal.
- Linear equation: An equation in the form of ax + b = c.
- Quadratic equation: An equation in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
- Polynomial: An expression consisting of one or more terms, each of which is the product of a constant and a variable raised to a power.

Conclusion:

Algebra is a powerful tool that can be used to solve equations and model real-world phenomena. By mastering the basics of algebra, we can apply these skills to new problems and gain a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Sustained immunological effects of Glatiramer acetate in patients with multiple sclerosis treated for over 6 years.
The availability of a group of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients at the University of Maryland, who had participated in the pivotal Copaxone trial in the early 1990s, provided an opportunity to examine the long-term immunologic effects of Glatiramer acetate (GA) treatment in MS. Forty-eight GA-reactive T-cell lines (TCL) were generated from 10 MS patients who have been receiving GA treatment for 6-9 years. Proliferative responses, cytokine production, and cross-reactivity with myelin basic protein (MBP) and the MBP immunodominant peptide 83-99 were compared to responses obtained from 10 MS patients who were tested pretreatment and after a shorter period of treatment ranging from 1 to 10 months. The results indicate that while long-term treatment with GA results in a 2.9-fold decrease in the estimated precursor frequency of GA-reactive T-cells, the sustained response to GA remains Th2-biased and in part cross-reactive with MBP and MBP (83-99) as measured by proliferation and cytokine release assays. The results indicate that despite a drop in the precursor frequency of GA-reactive T-cells with long-term treatment, the sustained response remains predominantly Th2-biased and cross-reactive with MBP, which is consistent with the anti-inflammatory effects of the drug and bystander suppression.

Lesson: Introduction to Immunology

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of immunology, which is the study of the immune system. We will cover the different types of cells and organs involved in the immune response, as well as the various ways that our bodies defend against pathogens. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to explain how vaccines work and why they are important in preventing disease.

### Section 1: The Immune System
The immune system is made up of many different cells, organs, and proteins that work together to protect our bodies from infections and diseases. There are two main parts of the immune system: the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system.

The innate immune system is the first line of defense against pathogens. It includes physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, as well as specialized cells like macrophages and neutrophils that can recognize and destroy foreign substances.

The adaptive immune system is more specific and targeted. It involves two main types of cells: B cells and T cells. B cells produce antibodies that can neutralize pathogens, while T cells can directly kill infected cells or help other immune cells do their job.

### Section 2: How Vaccines Work
Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to prevent infectious diseases. They work by introducing a small amount of a pathogen (such as a virus or bacteria) into the body. This stimulates the immune system to produce a response, including the production of antibodies. If the person is later exposed to the actual pathogen, their immune system will recognize it and mount a faster and more effective response, preventing illness or reducing its severity.

### Section 3: Examples and Applications
Immunology has many real-world applications, including the development of vaccines, treatments for autoimmune diseases, and organ transplantation. For example, the polio vaccine has helped eradicate polio in many parts of the world, and researchers are working on developing vaccines for diseases like HIV and malaria.

### Conclusion
In conclusion, immunology is a fascinating field that helps us understand how our bodies defend against pathogens. By studying immunology, we can develop new treatments and preventions for diseases, ultimately improving public health.

Lesson: Percentages and Charitable Donations

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about percentages and how they relate to charitable donations. We will start with the basics of percentages and then move on to real-world scenarios.

Section 1: Basics of Percentages

**Topic 1: What is a percentage?**
- Definition: A percentage is a part of a whole expressed as a fraction or multiple of 100.
- Example: If you have 10 apples and give away 50%, you will have 5 apples left.

**Topic 2: How to calculate percentages?**
- Formula: (Part/Whole) x 100
- Example: If you have 10 apples and give away 50%, you would have 5 apples left. So, the part (5 apples) is 50% of the whole (10 apples). Using the formula, (5/10) x 100 = 50%.

**Topic 3: How to calculate discounts?**
- Formula: (Discount amount / Original price) x 100
- Example: If an item costs $100 and the discount is 20%, the discount amount is $20. So, (20/100) x 100 = 20%.

Section 2: Real-World Scenarios

**Topic 1: Charitable donations**
- Definition: A charitable donation is a gift given to a non-profit organization, usually for a specific cause or project.
- Example: An artist donates 50% of their sales to a charity.

**Topic 2: Tax deductions**
- Definition: A tax deduction is a reduction in the amount of taxes owed to the government.
- Example: Donating to a charity can result in a tax deduction.

**Topic 3: Discounts**
- Definition: A discount is a reduction in the price of a product or service.
- Example: Buying in bulk can result in a discount.

Section 3: Practical Examples

**Example 1: Calculate the discount**
- Original price: $50
- Discount: 20%
- Discount amount: $10
- Calculation: ($10/$50) x 100 = 20%

**Example 2: Calculate the donation**
- Artist's sales: $1000
- Donation percentage: 50%
- Donation amount: $500
- Calculation: ($500/$1000) x 100 = 50%

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about percentages and how they relate to charitable donations and tax deductions. We also practiced calculating discounts and donations using real-world scenarios. By understanding percentages, we can make informed decisions when buying products or donating to charities.

Glossary:
- Percentage: A part of a whole expressed as a fraction or multiple of 100.
- Discount: A reduction in the price of a product or service.
- Tax deduction: A reduction in the amount of taxes owed to the government.
- Charitable donation: A gift given to a non-profit organization, usually for a specific cause or project.

One of the ways they hoped to do this was to officially apologize for racist policies and acts from the past. And while not mentioned specifically, one of these racist policies that may have been considered was school segregation in the 1920s and 1930s.. In this episode of the History Slam I talk with Timothy Stanley, author of Contesting White Supremacy: School Segregation, Anti-Racism, and the Making of Chinese Canadians. Professor Stanley provides a unique take on the social construction of race and the power dynamics that lead to racism. We also chat about the Victoria school strike and the creation of a Chinese community in the region. The conversation also touches on the “history wars” as we debate how regional and national histories interact..

Lesson: The Social Construction of Race and Power Dynamics

## Introduction

In this lesson, we will explore the concept of race and how it has been socially constructed throughout history. We will also examine the power dynamics that lead to racism and how these dynamics have played out in different contexts.

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

### Question: What is the social construction of race?
### Answer: The social construction of race refers to the idea that race is not a biological fact, but rather a social and cultural construct. This means that race is created through social interactions and practices, rather than being a natural or innate category.

### Question: What are power dynamics?
### Answer: Power dynamics refer to the relationships between groups or individuals who have different levels of power or influence over each other. These dynamics can play out in many different areas of society, including politics, economics, and culture.

### Question: How do power dynamics relate to racism?
### Answer: Power dynamics are often at the root of racism, as those in positions of power tend to dominate and oppress those without power. Racism can be used as a tool to maintain power imbalances and keep certain groups of people subordinate.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

### Question: Can you give an example of the social construction of race?
### Answer: One example of the social construction of race is the way that different cultures have defined what it means to be "white." In the United States, for example, Irish immigrants were once considered non-white and faced discrimination, but over time they were able to assimilate into white society.

### Question: Can you give an example of power dynamics and racism?
### Answer: One example of power dynamics and racism is the history of slavery in the United States. White slave owners had power over enslaved African Americans, and this power dynamic was used to justify and perpetuate racist beliefs and practices.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

### Question: How can we apply the lessons from this lesson to our lives?
### Answer: By understanding the social construction of race and the power dynamics that lead to racism, we can be more aware of our own biases and work to dismantle systems of oppression. We can also work to support marginalized communities and advocate for policies that promote equality and justice.

## Glossary
- Social construction of race: The idea that race is not a biological fact, but rather a social and cultural construct.
- Power dynamics: Relationships between groups or individuals who have different levels of power or influence over each other.
- Racism: A system of oppression based on the belief that certain races are inferior to others.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we have explored the concept of the social construction of race and the power dynamics that lead to racism. We have also looked at practical examples and real-world scenarios to illustrate these concepts. By understanding these ideas, we can work towards dismantling systems of oppression and promoting equality and justice.

Lesson: Introduction to HBDI Profiling

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about HBDI profiling and its importance in emotional intelligence. We will understand the four quadrants of HBDI profiling and how they affect our behavior and decision-making process. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to identify your own HBDI profile and apply it to improve your emotional intelligence.

**Section 1: Introduction to HBDI Profiling**

HBDI stands for Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument. It is a tool that helps us understand our own and others' thinking preferences. The HBDI profiling is based on the idea that our brains have different ways of processing information. There are four quadrants of HBDI profiling:

1. **Abstract Thinking (A)** - People with a high A score prefer to think in abstract terms, visualize ideas, and see the big picture. They enjoy brainstorming and coming up with new ideas.

2. **Concrete Thinking (C)** - People with a high C score prefer to focus on details, follow rules, and work step by step. They enjoy working with concrete data and facts.

3. **Analytical Thinking (T)** - People with a high T score prefer to analyze information, make decisions based on logic, and solve problems systematically. They enjoy working with numbers and data.

4. **Interpersonal Thinking (I)** - People with a high I score prefer to communicate with others, work in teams, and consider people's feelings and needs. They enjoy working collaboratively and building relationships.

**Section 2: Understanding Your Own HBDI Profile**

To understand your own HBDI profile, take the HBDI assessment. The assessment consists of 120 questions that measure your preferences in each of the four quadrants. Once you complete the assessment, you will receive a report that shows your dominant thinking preference in each quadrant.

**Section 3: Applying HBDI Profiling to Improve Emotional Intelligence**

Now that you know your own HBDI profile, you can apply it to improve your emotional intelligence. Here are some ways to do so:

1. **Understand Your Strengths and Weaknesses** - Knowing your dominant thinking preference can help you understand your strengths and weaknesses. For example, if you have a high A score, you may excel at brainstorming new ideas but struggle with details.

2. **Communicate Effectively** - Use your HBDI profile to communicate effectively with others. For example, if you have a high I score, consider the feelings and needs of your audience when communicating.

3. **Work Collaboratively** - If you have a balanced HBDI profile, try to work collaboratively with others who have different thinking preferences. This can lead to more creative and effective solutions.

**Glossary:**
- HBDI: Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument
- Quadrants: Abstract Thinking, Concrete Thinking, Analytical Thinking, Interpersonal Thinking
- Emotional Intelligence: The ability to recognize and manage our own emotions and the emotions of others

**Conclusion:**

HBDI profiling is a powerful tool for understanding our own and others' thinking preferences. By applying HBDI profiling to our daily lives, we can improve our emotional intelligence and work more effectively with others.

Q:

Make: only build something if the source's md5 checksum was changed

Is it possible to tell make to only build a target if it's sources md5 checksum has changed (instead of the edit time)?
I'm using make to compile my .tex files and I need to prevent it from building everything twice all the time.
I've tried using Scons, but I feel this isn't adaptable to other needs I have.

A:

No, this is not supported by Make — as you've found out, support for this feature is one of the reasons why tools like Scons exist.
I found a manual recipe for GNU make, though. Maybe you can use that as a work around.

A:

I found 3 ways: From simply

Using temporary md5-files over an
elegant but unreadable hack to
patching GNU Make yourself

(from patchy but simple to clean but hard to realize)

textbook:
# Lesson: How to use Make to build only when the source's MD5 checksum has changed
## Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn how to use Make to build only when the source's MD5 checksum has changed. This is useful when you want to avoid building everything every time there is a change in the source. We will cover three methods: using temporary md5-files, an elegant but unreadable hack, and patching GNU Make yourself.

## Section 2: Using Temporary md5-files
One way to achieve this is by creating temporary md5-files and comparing them with the actual md5-file. Here's how:

1. Create a temporary file with the same name as your source file, but with a ".md5" extension. For example, if your source file is "myfile.c", create a temporary file called "myfile.md5".

2. In your Makefile, add a rule to compile the source file and its md5-file:
```
$(src).md5: $(src)
	@md5 $(src) > $@
```

3. In your regular rule to compile the source file, add a dependency on the md5-file:
```
myfile.o: myfile.c
	...
	gcc -c myfile.c -o myfile.o
	@md5 myfile.o > myfile.md5
```

4. Now, when you run make, it will only compile the source file if the md5-file does not exist or has changed.

## Section 3: Elegant but Unreadable Hack
Another way to achieve this is by using an elegant but unreadable hack. Here's how:

1. Create a shell script that runs the md5sum command on your source file and stores the result in a variable. For example, if your source file is "myfile.c", create a shell script called "md5.sh" with the following content:
```
#!/bin/bash
echo `md5sum myfile.c` > myfile.md5
```

2. In your Makefile, add a rule to execute the shell script:
```
$(src):
	@./md5.sh
```

3. In your regular rule to compile the source file, add a dependency on the md5-file:
```
myfile.o: myfile.c
	...
	gcc -c myfile.c -o myfile.o
	@./md5.sh > myfile.md5
```

4. Now, when you run make, it will only compile the source file if the md5-file does not exist or has changed.

## Section 4: Patching GNU Make Yourself
If you are comfortable with C programming, you can patch GNU Make yourself to support this feature. Here's how:

1. Download the source code for GNU Make from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/.

2. Compile and install it on your system.

3. Modify the file src/make.skel in the installed directory to include the following code:
```
define check-md5
    $(eval $(call member,MD5_CHECKSUM,$1))
    ifneq ($(MD5_CHECKSUM),)
        $(call add_target,check-$(1))
        $(call add_depend,check-$(1),$(1))
        $(call add_line,check-$(1),$(1))
        $(call add_line,check-$(1),$(1))
        $(call add_line,check-$(1),$(1))
        $(call add_line,check-$(1),$(1))
        $(eval $(call add_cmd,check-$(1),$(call cmd,echo,MD5_CHECKSUM=$(1))))
        $(eval $(call add_cmd,check-$(1),$(call cmd,md5sum -b $(1))))
        $(eval $(call add_cmd,check-$(1),$(call cmd,if [ -f $(1).md5 ]; then echo "MD5 checksum already computed for $(1)" 1 else echo "Computing MD5 checksum for $(1)" fi))
    endif
endef
```

4. Rebuild and install GNU Make again.

5. Use the modified version of GNU Make in your Makefile.

## Section 5: Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned three methods to use Make to build only when the source's MD5 checksum has changed. We covered using temporary md5-files, an elegant but unreadable hack, and patching GNU Make yourself. By mastering these methods, we can save time and resources by avoiding unnecessary builds.

Lesson: Measuring Current with Shunt Resistors

**Introduction**

Measuring current is an essential part of electronics design and troubleshooting. One common method for measuring current is by using a shunt resistor, which is a low-value resistor mounted in series with the circuit. This allows the voltage across the resistor to be measured, and from that, the current can be calculated. In this lesson, we will learn about shunt resistors, how they work, and how to use them to measure current accurately and reliably.

**Section 1: Understanding Shunt Resistors**

A shunt resistor is a high-precision resistor with a very low resistance value, typically in the milliohm or microhenry range. It is designed to carry large currents without significant voltage drop, making it ideal for measuring current. The most common type of shunt resistor is the surface-mount device (SMD) resistor, which is small and easy to mount on a printed circuit board (PCB).

**Section 2: Using Shunt Resistors to Measure Current**

To measure current with a shunt resistor, the resistor is placed in series with the circuit, and a voltage divider is formed. The voltage across the resistor is measured, and the current can be calculated using Ohm's law (V = IR). The advantage of using a shunt resistor is that it allows for high-precision measurement of current, even when the current is very low or very high.

**Section 3: Measuring Inductance of an SMD Shunt Resistor**

The inductance of an SMD shunt resistor is an important parameter to consider when designing a circuit that uses a shunt resistor for current measurement. The inductance of the shunt resistor can affect the accuracy of the current measurement, as it introduces a delay in the response of the circuit. The inductance of an SMD shunt resistor is typically very low, on the order of nanohenries, but it can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific resistor.

**Section 4: Measuring the Inductance of an SMD Shunt Resistor**

To measure the inductance of an SMD shunt resistor, you will need a specialized instrument called a LCR meter (inductance-capacitance-resistance meter). A LCR meter measures the inductance, capacitance, and resistance of a component, such as an SMD shunt resistor. To measure the inductance of the shunt resistor, you will need to connect the LCR meter to the resistor and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

**Section 5: Analyzing the Results**

Once you have measured the inductance of the SMD shunt resistor, you can compare it to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure that it meets your requirements. If the inductance is too high, it can introduce errors in the current measurement, so it is essential to select a shunt resistor with a low inductance.

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we have learned about shunt resistors, how they work, and how to use them to measure current accurately and reliably. We also learned about the importance of measuring the inductance of an SMD shunt resistor and how to do so using a LCR meter. By understanding these concepts, we can design and troubleshoot electronic systems more effectively.

Daniel Jefferies recently wrote an article that in his mind there are 5 keys to the evolution of the crypto world. We were reading this and thought, hang on a minute, ReMoneta is already there.

We do not know if exactly these 5 suggested keys will change the world, but the points Daniel writes about are all important. In our view there is an overarching system/culture which needs to be changed by online currencies to really make progress and a positive change in the world. That is global commerce. Global commerce needs to have a real solid underpinning so it cannot collapse in a way that nearly happened in the recent financial crisis. Also global commerce needs to change in such a way that it incorporates positive values because values are what are really important for people. The ReMoneta community values are the environment, clean energy, animal welfare, global unity and human health. This means that the decision making should change so that people choose a currency, spending, purchase and so on, based on the values they believe in. As Daniel wrote, until now these things did not exist. Now we have ReMoneta.

Lesson: The Evolution of Cryptocurrency and its Impact on Global Commerce

Introduction:
Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security. It operates on a decentralized network called blockchain technology. Since its inception in 2009, cryptocurrency has gained popularity as an alternative to traditional fiat money. In this lesson, we will explore the evolution of cryptocurrency and its impact on global commerce.

Section 1: The Evolution of Cryptocurrency

Topic 1: The History of Cryptocurrency
- Cryptocurrency was created in 2009 by an anonymous person known as Satoshi Nakamoto.
- The first cryptocurrency was Bitcoin, which is still the most popular cryptocurrency today.
- Cryptocurrency was created as a response to the 2008 financial crisis, where people lost trust in banks and governments.

Topic 2: How Cryptocurrency Works
- Cryptocurrency operates on a decentralized network called blockchain technology.
- Blockchain is a digital ledger that records all transactions made with cryptocurrency.
- Transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in blocks, which are chained together chronologically.
- Once a block is added to the chain, it cannot be altered or deleted.

Topic 3: Types of Cryptocurrency
- There are thousands of different types of cryptocurrency, each with its own unique features and purposes.
- Some popular types of cryptocurrency include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple.
- Cryptocurrency can be used for various purposes, such as online transactions, investments, and smart contracts.

Section 2: The Impact of Cryptocurrency on Global Commerce

Topic 1: The Benefits of Cryptocurrency
- Cryptocurrency offers several benefits over traditional fiat money, including lower transaction fees, faster processing times, and increased security.
- Cryptocurrency also allows for greater anonymity and privacy, which can be beneficial for individuals and businesses alike.
- Cryptocurrency has the potential to democratize the financial system and provide access to financial services for people who currently lack them.

Topic 2: The Challenges of Cryptocurrency
- One of the biggest challenges facing cryptocurrency is regulation. Governments around the world are still determining how to regulate cryptocurrency, which can create uncertainty for businesses and individuals.
- Another challenge is the volatility of cryptocurrency prices, which can make it difficult for businesses to price goods and services accurately.
- Finally, the use of cryptocurrency for illicit activities, such as money laundering and terrorism financing, presents a significant challenge for law enforcement agencies.

Section 3: Applying Cryptocurrency to Real-World Scenarios

Topic 1: Investment
- Cryptocurrency can be a valuable investment, as its value has skyrocketed in recent years.
- However, like any investment, it carries risks, such as market volatility and regulatory uncertainty.
- Investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance and conduct thorough research before investing in cryptocurrency.

Topic 2: Online Transactions
- Cryptocurrency can be used for online transactions, such as purchasing goods and services or sending money to others.
- Transactions made with cryptocurrency are typically faster and cheaper than those made with traditional fiat money.
- However, not all businesses accept cryptocurrency, so it may not always be an option for online transactions.

Topic 3: Smart Contracts
- Cryptocurrency can be used for smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller being directly written into lines of code.
- Smart contracts can automate many tasks, such as escrow services, payment processing, and dispute resolution.
- However, smart contracts are only as good as the code that creates them, so they must be carefully designed and tested to ensure they function properly.

Conclusion:
Cryptocurrency has the potential to revolutionize global commerce by providing greater access to financial services, lower transaction fees, and increased security. However, it also presents challenges, such as regulation and volatility. By understanding the history, operation, and applications of cryptocurrency, individuals and businesses can make informed decisions about whether and how to incorporate cryptocurrency into their lives and operations.

In this lesson, we will learn about discontinued products and their features. A discontinued product is a product that is no longer being produced or sold by the manufacturer. This could happen for various reasons such as low demand, changes in technology, or the end of a product's life cycle. Despite being discontinued, these products can still be found in the market, but they may not be available for a long time.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider an example of a discontinued product: the iPod Classic. The iPod Classic was a popular music player introduced by Apple in 2001. It allowed users to store thousands of songs and had a simple click wheel interface. However, in 2014, Apple discontinued the iPod Classic, citing the increasing popularity of smartphones and other mobile devices that could store and play music.

Despite being discontinued, the iPod Classic still has many fans who appreciate its simplicity and durability. People who own an iPod Classic can still use it to listen to music, but they may have difficulty finding accessories or replacement parts.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Real-world scenarios where discontinued products can be found include thrift stores, online marketplaces, and antique shops. These places often sell discontinued products at a lower price point than newer products, making them attractive to buyers who are looking for a bargain. However, it's essential to be aware that discontinued products may not be supported by the manufacturer, meaning that repairs or replacements may be difficult to obtain.

## Glossary
- Discontinued product: A product that is no longer being produced or sold by the manufacturer.
- Features: The characteristics of a product that make it useful or attractive to consumers.
- Manufacturer: The company that produces a product.
- Marketplace: A place where buyers and sellers come together to exchange goods or services.
- Replacement: A new version of a product that is used to replace a broken or damaged one.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, discontinued products can be found in various places, including thrift stores, online marketplaces, and antique shops. While these products may be cheaper than newer products, they may not be supported by the manufacturer, making repairs or replacements difficult. Understanding the features of discontinued products and their real-world scenarios can help us make informed purchasing decisions.

About one year ago I reviewed an innovative mesh RDA from Wotofo. It was called the Profile and it stood out for one reason in particular. It had a spring-loaded push block located directly under the coil that would keep tension on your cotton preventing the dreaded cotton collapse. Cotton collapse if you’re not familiar with it is when your cotton shrinks away from your coil after repeated use which may in turn lead to hotspots. It’s really only a concern with mesh coils but for a long time it was practically unavoidable, that was until the Profile RDA came along. Fast forward a whole year and Wotofo has released an update to the popular mesh RDA. It’s called the Profile 1.5 and it’s pretty much an iterative update to the original with only a few minor updates which is probably why they named it the 1.5 instead of 2. Here are my honest thoughts on the Profile 1.5 RDA from Wotofo.

Package contents:

1 x Profile 1.5 RDA 1 x User manual 1 x Extra drip tip 1 x Bending tool 1 x Accessory bag 1 x Allen key 1 x Philips head screwdriver 3 x Thick Xfiber Cotton strip 1 x nexMesh CHILL A1 0.15ohm 1 x nexMesh TURBO A1 0.13ohm 1 x nexMesh EXTREME A1 0.16ohm

Listed features and specs:

RDA Type: Mesh RDA RDA body diameter: 24mm Build deck diameter: 22.5mm Coil configuration: Single mesh coil Wattage range: 60-80W Recommended Wattage: 70-75W Overall height: 33.1mm(With drip tip and 510) Threading: 510 Body material: Stainless steel Juice feeding method: Drip/Squonk Insulator material: German PEEK

Packaging and contents:

The profile 1.5 RDA kit comes packed in Wotofos iconic black and green packaging. I appreciate that it’s immediately recognizable and it stands out in a crowd but it absolutely wreaks havoc on my camera. In the kit you get the Profile 1.5 RDA which comes equipped with a low profile 810 Goon style resin drip tip. The kit also includes an even shorted one if you like to keep things low-pro. Also included in the kit are a user manual, a bending tool for your mesh, a Philips head screwdriver, an allen key, a bag containing three pieces of their Xfiber cotton strips, an accessory bag containing the alternate drip tip as well as a set of spare o-rings as well as replacement screws. It doesn’t come with an non-squonk pin but instead includes a little plug screw that screws into the pre-installed squonk pin. Lastly the kit includes three different types of nexMesh coils which I’ll explain in greated detail below. All in all a very well stocked kit but to be fair it’s something I’ve come to expect from Wotofo.

The Profile 1.5 RDA:

The Profile 1.5 RDA really hasn’t changed a whole lot from the original and what has changed simply improves on the original design. It’s still made from stainless steel and feels really solid and well made. It’s still fairly compact at about 22mm tall not including the drip tip or 510 with a diameter of 24mm. The top cap looks similar also with only a bit more tapering and a slightly different airflow system. On the Profile 1.5 it now has two rows of five holes which you can close off in a number of ways. You can run it full open with all 10 holes, you can close off just the top row or you can adjust both top and bottom rows together for what Wotofo calls flexible airflow. It’s very similar to the original but the airflow holes are bigger and it now has fewer of them. To adjust the airflow you simply turn the upper portion of the top cap and it opens or closes them to your liking. Inside the cap it’s now slightly concave at the top to help concentrate flavour unlike the original which had more of an awkward taper. It’s also a bit thinner so heat retention isn’t as much of an issue.

Original Profile Left, Profile 1.5 Right

Original Profile Left, Profile 1.5 Right

Popping off the cap we see the new and improved build deck. It’s now considerably bigger with an overall diameter of 22.5mm so there’s a bit more room to build and it can accommodate larger width mesh coils. The overall design however has remained the same and it still uses two screws one on either side to tighten the clamps that hold your mesh coil in place. Another improvement over the original is the ceramic push block that puts tension on your cotton. It’s now got grooves cut into it to help with wicking. The idea being it’ll now let more juice in underneath the cotton to help saturate it between puffs.

Original Profile Left, Profile 1.5 Right

Aside from these two significant improvements the only other thing that’s really changed with the Profile 1.5 is the mesh coils that come with it. It now comes with three different types of nexMesh coils which Wotofo referes to as CHILL, TURBO and EXTREME. All three are made with A1 Kanthal which to me is the best choice for mesh since it’s resistance stays the most stable under load. The CHILL coil is rated 0.15ohm, the TURBO is 0.13ohm and the EXTREME is 0.16ohm. All three have the recommended wattage range of 60-80W and all three perform well in that range. The main difference between the three meshes are the size and density of the holes in the mesh. CHILL and TURBO use foil based mesh as in a strip of foil with numerous holes punched through it while EXTREME is a more traditional type of woven mesh. CHILL promises a mellow laid-back type of experience, TURBO promises heightened flavour and thicker vapour while EXTREME offers the rowdiest experience with considerably warmer flavour and heavy vapour production.

Build, wick and Performance:

One of the great things about the original Profile 1.5 RDA was how convenient it was to build on. Simply loosen the two main clamp screws place one end of the mesh in and tighten it down, then gently bend the coil over into the other clamp and tighten it down. You can use the included coil bending tool to give it a more rounded shape but even with your screwdriver alone it’s easy enough to install and get it into the right shape. Wicking it is also fairly straightforward and my best tip with the Profile series is to use more cotton than you thick you’ll need. You really want to pack it in but not so tight the juice can’t flow. For some folks it might take a couple tries to get it just right but once you do it’s a very simple job to perform.

As to performance, I found the Profile 1.5 to pull slightly ahead of the original thanks in part to the new nexMesh coils it comes with, the concave cap and improved airflow. The coils are now wider so they have greater surface area which translates to better flavour. Going through the three different coils they perform basically how they are described. The CHILL coil running around 65W was actually my favorite of the three as I tend to prefer a more mellow vape experience but second up was the TURBO. It was sort of the Goldilocks coil of the three not too hot, not too chill, really solid flavour and overall great performance around 70-75W. Lastly was the EXTREME which at 75-80W gave a thick warm vape but it’s a bit too much for my personal tastes at least for all day vaping. It also works well for both dripping and squonking but I feel it leans a bit more towards squonking with it’s thirst for juice.

Overall:

As a fan of the original Profile I pretty much knew what to expect with the profile1.5 RDA. While it’s not a complete re-invention I really appreciate the little improvements it does bring. If you’re a fan of mesh coils and enjoy building your own then the Profile 1.5 RDA easily gets a recommendation from me. I think this one will be a good option for both new and seasoned vapers looking for an easy to manage mesh coil RDA with great flavour and solid overall performance. Also if you enjoyed the original I think the 1.5 offers just enough to make it a worth while upgrade.
