Heavy equipment auctions are a fascinating and little known niche on eBay. "Heavy equipment" refers to the machines used for manufacturing, industrial, farm equipment, the food industry, printing, electrical, etc.

There are two kinds of equipment sold - new and used - and successful heavy equipment sellers on eBay fall into two basic categories:

First, they are already in the industry and use eBay as an extra channel for selling their equipment.

Or, smaller sellers will focus on locating and auctioning used and second-hand equipment, usually on a consignment basis. In my early days on eBay, I sold this kind of equipment, locating it in industry publications or in our local newspapers. At no time did I own any of this machinery, but merely sold it for others who were unfamiliar with eBay and online sales and needed another sales outlet.

You will need at least some knowledge about what you're selling. Your audience will mostly professionals and they thoroughly understand what they're buying. If you don't speak their lingo you will lose sales unless your prices are so low that nobody cares what you know.

There are some strong pluses for this kind of auction product. For one thing, all those who look at your listings are potential buyers and thus you will be spared the usual gawkers and freebie-seekers that haunt so many auctions and websites. The average person has no interest whatsoever in this kind of auction and will therefore not waste your time.

If you already sell this kind of equipment, eBay is wonderful! It is much cheaper to sell on eBay, rather than maintain a physical location, so you can undercut other brick and mortar competition.

Here's what you need for success in heavy equipment auctions:

1. You need a good reliable and steady source/supplier of heavy equipment.

2. Your equipment has be stored somewhere. You can't keep an industrial crane or a backhoe in your garage so if you're going to own or lease your equipment, this will be an added expense.

3. You should be prepared for a couple of months without any sales in the beginning. You might make some money quickly, but don't count on it.

4. It helps if you have a reputation. Investing $100,000 in a piece of equipment requires a leap of faith and unless your offering is truly extraordinary chances are most buyers won't want to take a chance on you. Heavy equipment auctions are meant for companies and professionals and placing a bid on the heavy equipment auction of an unknown seller might be a risky decision. If you have feedback from any other area of eBay, it might help.

5. You will need to offer shipping if you want to maximize your profits. You can choose the "pickup only" option but you are certain to lose many potential customers. This doesn't mean that you will have to personally oversee shipping, but you will need to know shipping companies and be able to advise your clients.

If you feel comfortable with this kind of auction, you need to prepare your listing and offer. Pay great attention to these areas:

* You need pictures, pictures and more pictures. Ensure that your pictures are clear and sharp and cover every detail of the equipment you're wishing to sell.

* Detail everything about your equipment. You don't really have to "sell" in these auctions because the potential buyers already knows what he's looking for and it's quite specific. Basically, you're only trying to persuade him to choose your machinery over someone else's and generally there aren't huge numbers for him to choose from at any one time. This is a serious, big-time investment for the buyer and you want him to be impressed with you.

* Offer a pre-purchase inspection, if desired.

* eBay makes it easy to get financing for expensive equipment and you need to cooperate with a prospect by directing him to appropriate financing, if necessary.

* You absolutely must offer some kind of warranty and it should be based on more than just your word. For instance, an escrow service might be appropriate or you might be bonded or a member of an organization that offers such a guarantee.

By knowing the rules of the heavy equipment auction, you might make substantial money from only a handful of auctions.

Lesson: Extracting Core Value from Text

## Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn how to extract core values from a given text. Core values are fundamental beliefs or principles that guide our behavior and decision-making. By identifying and understanding these values, we can better understand the motivations and actions of others, as well as make better decisions ourselves.

## Section 1: Understanding Core Values

### Topic 1: What are Core Values?
Core values are fundamental beliefs or principles that guide our behavior and decision-making. They are the foundation of our personal and professional identity, and they shape our attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.

### Topic 2: Why are Core Values Important?
Core values are important because they provide us with a sense of direction and purpose. They help us make decisions that align with our beliefs and goals, and they give us a sense of meaning and fulfillment in our lives. Additionally, understanding the core values of others can help us communicate and work more effectively with them.

### Topic 3: How do we Identify Core Values?
To identify core values, we need to reflect on our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. We can also look at the behaviors and decisions of others to understand their core values. Additionally, we can ask ourselves and others questions such as "What is most important to you?" or "What do you stand for?"

### Topic 4: Examples of Core Values
Examples of core values include honesty, integrity, respect, responsibility, creativity, and innovation. These values can vary from person to person and can be influenced by cultural, social, and personal factors.

## Section 2: Identifying Core Values in Text

### Topic 1: How do we Identify Core Values in Text?
To identify core values in text, we need to analyze the language used by the author and the content of the text. We can look for recurring themes, beliefs, and attitudes that are expressed throughout the text.

### Topic 2: Examples of Core Values in Text
Examples of core values that may be expressed in text include honesty, integrity, respect, responsibility, creativity, and innovation. These values can be expressed directly or indirectly through the language and content of the text.

### Topic 3: How do we Apply Core Values in Text?
Once we have identified the core values expressed in the text, we can apply them to our own lives and decision-making. We can use these values to guide our behavior and decision-making, and to communicate more effectively with others who share similar values.

## Section 3: Practical Examples

### Topic 1: Example 1
Jelena, a host on Airbnb, has a profile that includes her name, school, location, and review rating. Her profile also includes a photo of her ID and a description of herself as a friendly and kind person who enjoys traveling and meeting new people.

### Topic 2: Example 2
In this example, we can see that Jelena values honesty and integrity, as evidenced by her verified ID and positive review rating. Additionally, she values respect and responsibility, as she has taken the time to create a detailed profile that includes her personal information and interests. Finally, she values creativity and innovation, as evidenced by her use of Airbnb to connect with travelers from around the world.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about core values and how to identify them in text. We also applied these values to practical examples, such as Jelena's Airbnb profile.

Title: Using Critical Thinking Skills to Analyze Information

## Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn how to use critical thinking skills to analyze information. We will start by understanding the importance of critical thinking and then move on to learning how to identify the key components of an argument. Finally, we will practice applying these skills to real-world scenarios.

## Section 1: Understanding Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is the process of analyzing information to make informed decisions. It involves questioning assumptions, evaluating evidence, and considering multiple perspectives. It is an essential skill for success in school, work, and life.

## Section 2: Identifying Key Components of an Argument
To analyze information effectively, we need to understand the key components of an argument. These include:

1. Premises: These are the statements that support the conclusion. They provide evidence to back up the argument.

2. Conclusion: This is the statement that the premises lead to. It is the main point of the argument.

3. Evidence: This is the information that supports the premises. It can come from observations, experiments, or other sources.

4. Reasoning: This is the process of connecting the premises to the conclusion. It involves using logic and reasoning to draw conclusions based on the evidence.

## Section 3: Applying Critical Thinking Skills
Now that we understand the key components of an argument, let's practice applying these skills to real-world scenarios.

Example 1: Should schools require students to wear uniforms?
Premise 1: School uniforms reduce distractions and promote a sense of unity among students.
Premise 2: School uniforms can be expensive and may burden low-income families.
Conclusion: Should schools require students to wear uniforms?

Analysis: We can evaluate the evidence provided in the premises and consider alternative perspectives. For example, we could consider the cost of uniforms and whether there are affordable options available. We could also consider whether a sense of unity is more important than individual expression through clothing.

Example 2: Should genetically modified foods be banned?
Premise 1: Genetically modified foods may have unintended health consequences that have not been fully studied.
Premise 2: Genetically modified foods can help increase crop yields and reduce the need for pesticides.
Conclusion: Should genetically modified foods be banned?

Analysis: We can evaluate the evidence provided in the premises and consider alternative perspectives. For example, we could consider the potential benefits of increased crop yields and reduced pesticide use. We could also consider whether the risks of genetically modified foods are worth the potential benefits.

## Conclusion
By practicing critical thinking skills, we can analyze information more effectively and make informed decisions. We can evaluate evidence, consider multiple perspectives, and draw conclusions based on logic and reasoning. By applying these skills to real-world scenarios, we can make informed decisions about important issues.

Building an Effective Coding Compliance Program in Medical Practices.
In simpler times, it made sense for medical practices to hire unskilled, noncre- dentialed clinical coders. The trend continued with the introduction of electronic medical records-where software seemingly made the physician's coding de- cisions after a few points and clicks. However, with the confluence of ICD-10 changes, more fraud and abuse audits, and increasing fines for noncompliant coding, the time has come for medical groups to rethink their clinical coding strategy. Employing a certified coder and building an effective coding compli- ance program is no longer an option-it is a necessity. Credentialed coders make decisions that nearly always result in stronger reimbursement and also stand up under scrutiny by the Office of Inspector General. This article explores common myths about clinical coding, identifies ways practices get into compli- ance trouble, and provides specific avenues to implement an effective coding compliance program.

Lesson: Building an Effective Coding Compliance Program in Medical Practices
Introduction:
Clinical coding is the process of translating medical diagnoses and procedures into standardized codes that are used to bill insurance companies and track patient outcomes. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of building an effective coding compliance program in medical practices. We will debunk common myths about clinical coding, identify ways practices get into compliance trouble, and provide specific avenues to implement an effective coding compliance program.
Myths about Clinical Coding:
Myth 1: Clinical coding is just a data entry task.
Fact: Clinical coding requires a deep understanding of medical terminology, anatomy, and physiology. It involves analyzing medical records and selecting the most accurate codes for each diagnosis and procedure.
Myth 2: Certified coders are expensive and not necessary for small practices.
Fact: Certified coders are not only necessary but also cost-effective in the long run. They can help practices avoid costly mistakes and ensure accurate coding and reimbursement.
Ways Practices Get into Compliance Trouble:
1. Inaccurate coding: Practices may not be aware of the latest coding guidelines and may not fully understand the nuances of medical terminology, leading to incorrect coding.
2. Upcoding: Some providers may intentionally or unintentionally code for more severe diagnoses or procedures to increase reimbursement.
3. Downcoding: Some providers may code for less severe diagnoses or procedures to avoid scrutiny from payors.
Avenues to Implement an Effective Coding Compliance Program:
1. Hire certified coders: Certified coders have the knowledge and skills to accurately code medical records and ensure compliance with coding guidelines.
2. Establish clear coding policies and procedures: Clear policies and procedures can help prevent errors and ensure consistency in coding.
3. Conduct regular coding audits: Regular coding audits can help identify areas of improvement and ensure compliance with coding guidelines.
4. Provide ongoing education and training: Ongoing education and training can help coders stay up-to-date with the latest coding guidelines and medical terminology.
Conclusion:
Building an effective coding compliance program is essential for medical practices to ensure accurate coding and reimbursement.

Lesson: Introduction to Heat Pumps

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one location to another by circulating a fluid, such as water or refrigerant, through a series of interconnected loops. It operates on the principle of thermodynamics, which states that heat flows from hotter to cooler bodies.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider an example of a heat pump system used in a residential home. The system consists of two coils - an outdoor condenser and an indoor evaporator. The refrigerant circulates between these two coils, absorbing heat from the outdoor air in the condenser and releasing it into the indoor air in the evaporator.

In the winter, when the outside temperature is cold, the heat pump works like a normal heater, transferring heat from the outside air to the inside air. In the summer, when the outside temperature is warm, the heat pump works as an air conditioner, removing heat from the inside air and transferring it to the outside air.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Heat pumps are commonly used in residential homes, commercial buildings, and industrial processes. They are particularly useful in areas with mild climates, where they can provide both heating and cooling.

For example, a heat pump can be used to heat a swimming pool in the winter and cool it in the summer. Similarly, it can be used to provide hot water for a house in the winter and cool the water in the summer.

## Glossary

- Refrigerant: a substance used to transfer heat between two locations

## Conclusion

Heat pumps are an essential part of modern life, providing heating and cooling in residential homes, commercial buildings, and industrial processes. By understanding the principles behind heat pumps and their practical applications, we can better appreciate their importance and potential for energy savings.

The most seductive theory in sport has had one hell of a hearing during the past month. As the Women’s World Cup captured more hearts and minds, so the assumption intensified that England’s run will be a gamechanger, with elite success encouraging large numbers – particularly girls – to play football and get active. It sounds logical enough. Lucy Bronze, Megan Rapinoe, Wendie Renard and Rose Lavelle are fantastic role models, after all. There’s just one problem. There isn’t much evidence for what academics have called the “role‑modelling” or “trickle-down” effect.

English women's football seeks legacy from France 2019 but frailties remain Read more

Remember when Boris Becker, Steffi Graf and Michael Stich brought an unprecedented number of grand-slam victories for German tennis? There was a decline in membership of the German Tennis Association afterwards. Similarly, in the run up to London 2012 people such as Colin Moynihan, then chair of the British Olympic Association, promised a home Games would “motivate a whole generation of young people as they seek to emulate their Team GB heroes”. The reality has been less rosy. A recent Sport England survey found one in three children do less than 30 minutes of activity a day – such as walking, using a scooter, or playing sport – with the sports minister, Mims Davies, calling it “simply unacceptable”.

We should not be surprised. Long before 2012 researchers looked at Australia’s Olympic results between 1976 and 1996, and identified no correlation between national sporting achievements and “sedentariness” rates in the population. Meanwhile a systematic review of public health initiatives after the 2000 Sydney Olympics suggested there was no evidence that the euphoria of the Games turned into increased activity, despite the silky rhetoric and promises.

Other research has found a slight negative correlation between Olympic success and mass sports participation. As the authors of another study put it: “It is a well‑known assumption that the success of professional athletes increases sport participation in their home country. However, the theoretical support for such a relationship, as well as the empirical evidence, is shallow.”

Read that again. Let it marinate. Across the globe, politicians and public authorities partly justify investment in elite sport based on the effect it has on the ordinary population. But the evidence that such trickle‑down effects in sport work is as elusive as trickle‑down economics was in Ronald Reagan’s America.

Of course some of us are inspired to take up a sport after watching it on TV but studies suggest much of this comes from a “substitution effect”, with already active people switching from one sport to another, or from encouraging lapsed players to dig out their racket or golf clubs again during Wimbledon or the Open. The challenge is getting more people to become more active more of the time.

What about women’s football? Clearly it is growing in popularity, so it can be tricky to disentangle increasing participation with the success of a national team. However a study looking at the after‑effects of Japan’s Women’s World Cup victory in 2011 does just that. The academic Hideaki Ishigami examined all extracurricular activities recorded by 1.5m female Japanese students in the years leading up to and after the tournament – helped by the fact the Nippon Junior High School Physical Culture Association, a national governing body, compiles registration data for 99% of schools in Japan by type of sport.

As Ishigami noted, more girls played football in Japan after 2011. But there was a blunt kicker: his research also found it was “no greater than expected by chance” once growing participation levels before the 2011 tournament were taken into account. As he put it: “We found no quantitative evidence supporting the role-modelling effect. This implies the increase in their participation following the 2011 World Cup would have been observed regardless of whether Japan won.”

As Ishigami notes, gender is clearly a factor. The Daichi Life Insurance Company has conducted annual surveys with 13-year-olds in Japan since 1989. According to their findings, girls’ dream jobs have consistently included teaching, the medical profession and catering – with sports never ranking in the list, even after the 2011 World Cup. That contrasts markedly with boys of the same age, who always include baseball or football. This difference in genders for sporting role models has been found in other countries, too.

The Recap

There is a message here for the Football Association and the government. Women’s football in Britain is clearly going the right way – given a record FA Cup final attendance, a new £10m Barclays sponsorship for the WSL, and a thrilling World Cup. But as we learned when England finished third in Canada in 2015 this is not enough. The Lionesses have again inspired the nation but now the harder work begins.

The game needs to better fertilise its grassroots – the FA’s new national strategy for girls aged five to 11 is a start – and get more consistent exposure. Stories that neither the FA nor Premier League considers itself capable of expanding the appeal of the WSL don’t bode well, given average crowds were under 1,000 last season, but just imagine the effect of a women’s match shown every Sunday on BBC2?

Meanwhile the fundamental point remains: elite success is not enough to get more people active. After Britain won only one Olympic medal at Atlanta 1996 there was a revolution in government funding that catapulted Team GB towards the top of the table. Is there a relentless desire for a similar upheaval when it comes to getting the rest of us moving, too?

Lesson: The Impact of Role Models on Sports Participation

Introduction:
Sports have always been an integral part of human life, and role models have played a significant role in inspiring people to take up sports. This lesson will explore the impact of role models on sports participation and the factors that contribute to this impact.

Section 1: Understanding the Role of Role Models in Sports

Topic 1: The concept of role models in sports
A role model is an individual who serves as an example or inspiration to others, especially in terms of their behavior, values, and achievements. In sports, role models are athletes who inspire others to take up sports, work hard, and achieve their goals.

Topic 2: The impact of role models on sports participation
Role models have a significant impact on sports participation. They inspire people to take up sports, work hard, and achieve their goals. When young people see successful athletes competing at the highest levels, they want to emulate them and achieve similar success.

Section 2: Factors Contributing to the Impact of Role Models on Sports Participation

Topic 1: The visibility of role models
One of the most significant factors contributing to the impact of role models on sports participation is their visibility. Athletes who compete at the highest levels and win medals are more likely to inspire others to take up sports.

Topic 2: The relatability of role models
Another factor that contributes to the impact of role models on sports participation is their relatability. People are more likely to be inspired by role models who share similar backgrounds, experiences, and values. For example, if a young person sees a successful athlete from a similar social or economic background, they are more likely to relate to that athlete and be inspired to take up sports themselves.

Topic 3: The authenticity of role models
Authenticity is another factor that contributes to the impact of role models on sports participation. People are more likely to be inspired by role models who are genuine, honest, and transparent about their experiences and values. When athletes share their struggles, triumphs, and personal stories, they become more relatable and inspiring to others.

Section 3: Examples of Role Models in Sports

Topic 1: Serena Williams
Serena Williams is an excellent example of a role model in sports. She has won numerous Grand Slam titles, and her success has inspired many young people to take up tennis. Her authenticity, determination, and resilience in the face of adversity make her a relatable and inspiring role model.

Topic 2: Usain Bolt
Usain Bolt is another excellent example of a role model in sports. He is one of the most successful sprinters in history, and his success has inspired many young people to take up track and field. His charisma, personality, and ability to entertain have made him a beloved athlete and a role model for many.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, role models have a significant impact on sports participation. Their visibility, relatability, and authenticity inspire people to take up sports, work hard, and achieve their goals. By studying the impact of role models on sports participation, we can better understand the factors that contribute to success in sports and use this knowledge to inspire future generations of athletes.

Q:

Gate capacitance vs. Gate charge in n-ch FETs, and how to calculate power dissipation during charging/discharging of the gate

I am using a MOSFET driver (TC4427A), which can charge a 1nF gate capacitance in about 30ns.
The dual N-ch MOSFET I am using (Si4946EY) has a gate charge of 30nC (max) per fet. I am only considering one for now as both on the die are identical. I am driving the gate to 5V. (It is a logic level fet.)
Does this mean I can apply Q = CV to work out the capacitance? C = 30nC / 5V = 6nF. So my driver can turn the gate fully on in about 180ns.
Is my logic correct?
Gate resistance of the MOSFET is specified at a max. of 3.6 ohms. Will this have any effect on the calculations above? The driver has a 9 ohm resistance.
Is there any significant difference for when the gate is discharged instead of charged? (turning off the fet.)
As a side question, during the 180ns the fet is not fully on. So Rds(not-quite-ON) is quite high. How can I calculate how much power dissipation will occur during this time?

A:

Like endolith says you have to look at the conditions for parameters. the 30nC are a maximum value for \$V_{GS}\$ = 10V. The graph on page 3 of the datasheet says typically 10nC @ 5V, then C = \$\frac{10nC}{5V}\$ = 2nF. Another graph also on page 3 gives a value of 1nF for \$C_{ISS}\$. The discrepancy is because capacitance isn't constant (that's why they give a charge value).
The gate resistance will indeed have an influence. The gate's time constant will be (9\$\Omega\$ + 3.6\$\Omega\$) \$\times\$ 2nF = 25ns, instead of 9\$\Omega \times\$ 2nF = 18ns.
In theory there will be a slight difference between switching on and off, because when switching off you start from a higher temperature. But if the time between on and off is small (lots of margin here, we talk about tens of seconds) temperature is constant, and the characteristic will be more or less symmetrical.
About your side question. This isn't usually given in datasheets, because the current will depend on \$V_{GS}\$, \$V_{DS}\$ and temperature, and 4-dimensional graphs don't work well in two dimensions. The only solution is to measure it. One way is to record \$I_D\$ and \$V_{DS}\$ graphs between off and on and, multiply both and integrate. This transition normally will happen fast, so you'll probably can measure only over a few points, but that should give you a good approximation. Doing the transition more slowly will yield more points, but the temperature will be different, and hence the result will be less accurate.

A:

Referencing this Fairchild app note on MOSFET switching, this Infineon note on figure-of-merit, this IR note and my own experience:
\$Q_g\$ quantifies the total gate charge, which is comprised of some lumped elements:

\$Q_{gs}\$ (gate-to-source)
\$Q_{gd}\$ (gate-to-drain)

In terms of calculating how much power is dissipated switching the MOSFET on, you can use the Q=CV relation to figure out the effective gate capacitance. The manufacturer often also publishes this figure as\$C_{iss}\$.
The IR note sums up switching loss quite nicely. During the \$Q_{gs}\$ interval, the MOSFET starts conducting (\$I_D\$ ramps up and \$V_{DS}\$ stays high). During the \$Q_{gd}\$ interval, the MOSFET gets saturated (\$V_{DS}\$ falls). The best way to see the loss is, as was previously suggested, to measure \$V_{DS}\$ and \$I_D\$. This EETimes article describes how to mathematically calculate the switching loss for a variety of conditions, which I will not elaborate on here.
The MOSFET gate resistance is added with whatever external resistance you have to determine the charging current. In your case, since you're only charging to 5V, you will not max out the current capability of your driver.
Discharging the gate is relatively identical to charging it, in so far as the thresholds remain the same. If the turn-on thresold is 4V, and you charge to 5V, you can imagine that there will be some small asymmetry in the turn-on time vs. the turn-off time since you're only discharging 1V to get turn-off vs. 4V to get turn-on.
As per the earlier comment, it is quite common to see networks of resistors and diodes in MOSFET drive circuits to tailor the turn-on and turn-off charging currents.

A:

The spec in the datasheet says VGS = 10 V, so no.  It would be C = 30 nC / 10 V = 3 nF.  But this is an absolute maximum.
Instead of a single capacitance value, they spec the capacitance as a graph on page 3.  The meanings of ciss crss and coss are given in this document  figure 5.  I think you care most about ciss, which is about 900 pF according to the chart.

Lesson: Understanding Gate Capacitance and Gate Charge in MOSFETs

Introduction:
MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) are essential components in electronic circuits. They are used to control the flow of current between the source and drain terminals by modulating the gate voltage. In this lesson, we will learn about gate capacitance and gate charge in MOSFETs and how to calculate power dissipation during charging and discharging of the gate.

Section 1: Gate Capacitance and Gate Charge

Gate capacitance (Cg) is the capacitance of the gate terminal of a MOSFET. It is a parasitic capacitor that forms between the gate and the underlying silicon substrate. The gate charge (Qg) is the amount of charge stored on the gate capacitor when a voltage is applied across it.

The relationship between gate capacitance and gate charge can be described by the following equation:

Qg = Cg * Vg

where Qg is the gate charge, Cg is the gate capacitance, and Vg is the gate voltage.

Section 2: Calculating Power Dissipation

When a MOSFET is turned on, the gate charge (Qg) is increased until the threshold voltage (Vth) is reached. At this point, the MOSFET starts to conduct current. The power dissipated during this process can be calculated using the following formula:

Pd = (1/2) * Cg * (Vgs - Vth)^2

where Pd is the power dissipation, Cg is the gate capacitance, Vgs is the gate-source voltage, and Vth is the threshold voltage.

Section 3: Differences Between Charging and Discharging

When a MOSFET is turned off, the gate charge (Qg) is decreased until the threshold voltage (Vth) is reached. At this point, the MOSFET stops conducting current. The power dissipated during this process can be calculated using the following formula:

Pd = (1/2) * Cg * (Vg - Vth)^2

where Pd is the power dissipation, Cg is the gate capacitance, Vg is the gate voltage, and Vth is the threshold voltage.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about gate capacitance and gate charge in MOSFETs and how to calculate power dissipation during charging and discharging of the gate. We also discussed the differences between charging and discharging a MOSFET. By understanding these concepts, we can better design and analyze electronic circuits that use MOSFETs.

Glossary:
- Gate capacitance (Cg): The capacitance of the gate terminal of a MOSFET.
- Gate charge (Qg): The amount of charge stored on the gate capacitor when a voltage is applied across it.
- Threshold voltage (Vth): The minimum gate voltage required to turn on a MOSFET.
- Power dissipation (Pd): The amount of energy lost as heat in a component or circuit.

History

Popularity and BUYSAG

Secronom started designing missions and opened few topics that helped to keep DYOM Alive.

He started a popular game on the forums, but he made that game into DYOM game. Build Up Your San Andreas Gang. Which got popular and everyone started to join. BUYSAG game went through several versions, improving and not-improving the game.

Reviewing

At some time later, Secronom joined DYOM reviewers list and started reviewing designer's missions.

ilovegta and TonyCJ

Sometime later, ilovegta started calling Secronom as TonyCJ. An investigation was going on, some user was given some id info of ilovegta's FaceBook account. The user saw some messages between Secronom and Ilovegta. As in the photo, Secronom admits that he's Tony. - It's either a joke for ilovegta, or it's true.

This remains silent and unknown for a while...

On Oct 10 2011, Secronom tells that:

"It was a trick to play a little bit with him. Only Doublepulse knew about that. I wanted to see how dumb and naive he was to believe someone else. It pretty much worked: he acted dumb in front of many people. In others words: he got powned. Between, there's a difference between my and his writing style (well, usual writing style I mean)." -Secronom President in The Designers Lounge.

It stays silent, due for a misunderstanding and a practical joke.

Second Account Hacked!

On Sep 4, 2011.

Secronom President's other account was hacked. The acc. is Secro. He used that account to get his old account back, but now the second acc. is hacked by an unknown guy who suddenly started a new mission pack: GRAND THEFT AUTO IV: DYOM EDITION.

Rumours are saying that TonyCJ hacked his account, some saying Secronom himself gave his account to Tony. Secronom haven't said anything about this incident since Sep 4. And the hacker is unknown and stays unknown.

On Oct 10 2011, Secronom also reveals this:

"Rumors saying it is TonyCJ are false and I didn't gave it to him since I don't know how to contact him, which is a good thing I think. The real hacker is ilovegta123456." -Secronom President in The Designers Lounge

- This had to stay silent and unknown, but Secronom said it himself, so now we know the hacker was Andreas Nielsen.

BUYSAG V4

In Oct 4, 2011. Secronom President announced amazing things about BUYSAG, V4 is going to be made. There are few changes, such as Law Gangs are deleted. BUYSAG V4 is still in WIP.

Only Secronom spoiled or announced few things, the gang list and new features.

Since Oct 5, 2011 - the game have started and everyone started to join in, play and design missions for BUYSAG V4.

DYOM Awards

Secronom President won the DYOM Awards as "Most helpful in DYOM forums". He became a moderator of the new DYOM Website. Also, his topic BUYSAG was pinned for winning "Best Topic" at DYOM Awards.

Forum Leader

On February 8, 2012, Secronom became a Forum Leader of gtaforums. Since then, he became more respected.

BUYSAG's future

On September 8, 2012, Secronom released the new version of BUYSAG and he imediately retired from BUYSAG, he gave the thread over xGhostx, but the thread was locked and ended BUYSAG and its staff.

Lesson: Introduction to Probability Theory

**Introduction**
Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of random events and their likelihood of occurrence. In this lesson, we will introduce the basic concepts of probability theory, including probability spaces, sample spaces, and events. We will also learn how to calculate probabilities using different methods, such as the use of probability tables, the use of expected values, and the use of conditional probabilities.

**Section 1: Probability Spaces and Sample Spaces**
A probability space is a set of all possible outcomes of an experiment or a game. The sample space, on the other hand, is a subset of the probability space that represents the set of all possible outcomes that can actually occur. For example, if we are playing a game of dice, the probability space would be all possible rolls of the dice, while the sample space would be the set of all rolls that can actually occur, such as rolling a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

**Section 2: Events**
An event is a subset of the sample space that represents a specific outcome or group of outcomes. For example, in our dice game, rolling a 3 is an event. We can also define complementary events, which represent all outcomes that are not included in a given event. For example, in our dice game, the complementary event of rolling a 3 is rolling any number except 3.

**Section 3: Probability Calculation Methods**
There are several methods for calculating probabilities, including the use of probability tables, the use of expected values, and the use of conditional probabilities.

**Section 4: Probability Tables**
Probability tables are used to calculate probabilities by looking up the frequency of occurrence of an event in the sample space. For example, if we have a sample space of rolling a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 on a die, we can create a table that shows the frequency of each outcome. Then, we can use this table to calculate the probability of rolling a 3, which is 1/6, since there is only one 3 in the sample space.

**Section 5: Expected Values**
Expected values are used to calculate the average value of an event occurring multiple times. For example, if we have a game where we roll a die six times, we can calculate the expected value of rolling a 3 in each roll by multiplying the probability of rolling a 3 in each roll by the value of rolling a 3 in that roll. Then, we can sum up the expected values of all the rolls to get the total expected value of rolling a 3 in the game.

**Section 6: Conditional Probabilities**
Conditional probabilities are used to calculate the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. For example, if we have a game where we roll two dice, we can calculate the probability of rolling a 7 given that we have already rolled a 3 on the first die. We can do this by dividing the frequency of rolling a 7 when we have already rolled a 3 by the total frequency of rolling a 7 in the sample space.

**Conclusion**
In this lesson, we have introduced the basic concepts of probability theory, including probability spaces, sample spaces, and events. We have also learned about different methods for calculating probabilities, including the use of probability tables, the use of expected values, and the use of conditional probabilities. By understanding these concepts, we can apply them to real-world scenarios to make informed decisions and predictions.


text: Most security leaders are unlikely to have drones on the list of threats they need to defend against on the cyber or physical security front. Drones can, however, introduce new risks that organizations need to recognize and address proactively, say security experts, even if an organization isn’t using them.. A growing number of organizations have recently been deploying drones—or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)—for a variety of applications. Examples include crop monitoring, surveying sites and terrain, inspecting utility infrastructure, delivering goods, and checking warehouse inventory.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Drones and Their Security Risks

### Section 1: What are Drones?
Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), are flying robots that can be remotely controlled or flown autonomously. They are used for various purposes such as crop monitoring, surveying sites and terrain, inspecting utility infrastructure, delivering goods, and checking warehouse inventory.

### Section 2: Security Risks Introduced by Drones
Although drones can be useful tools for organizations, they also introduce new security risks that need to be recognized and addressed proactively. Some of these risks include:

1. Data Breaches: Drones equipped with cameras and other sensors can capture sensitive information, such as personal data or confidential business records, and transmit it to unauthorized parties.

2. Physical Attacks: Drones can be used to carry out physical attacks on buildings, infrastructure, or people. For example, they could be used to deliver explosives or toxins, or to disrupt power grids or communication networks.

3. Privacy Invasion: Drones can fly over private property and capture images or recordings of individuals without their knowledge or consent. This can lead to privacy invasions and legal liabilities.

4. Cyberattacks: As drones become more connected and rely on technology, they become vulnerable to cyberattacks that can disrupt their operations or steal sensitive data.

### Section 3: How to Mitigate Drone Security Risks
To mitigate the security risks introduced by drones, organizations should take the following steps:

1. Develop a Drone Security Policy: Organizations should develop a comprehensive drone security policy that outlines the rules and procedures for using drones, securing drone data, and responding to drone-related incidents.

2. Implement Access Controls: Organizations should implement access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can operate drones and access drone data. This may include requiring authentication and authorization protocols, encrypting drone data, and limiting drone access to specific areas.

3. Conduct Regular Drone Security Audits: Organizations should conduct regular drone security audits to identify vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of their security measures. This may involve testing drone security controls, reviewing drone logs, and conducting penetration testing.

4. Train Employees on Drone Security: Organizations should train their employees on drone security best practices, including how to identify potential drone threats, respond to drone incidents, and report suspicious activity.

5. Monitor Drone Activity: Organizations should monitor drone activity on their premises and in their airspace to detect unauthorized drone flights and potential security threats. This may involve installing drone detection systems, such as radar or radio frequency sensors, and collaborating with local law enforcement agencies to track down rogue drones.

### Glossary:
- Drone: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that can be remotely controlled or flown autonomously.
- Sensitive Information: Any data that, if disclosed, could harm an individual or organization, such as personal data, financial records, or trade secrets.
- Cyberattack: An attack on computer systems, networks, or devices that aims to disrupt their normal operation, steal sensitive data, or cause damage.

### Conclusion:
In conclusion, drones can introduce new security risks that organizations need to recognize and address proactively. By developing a comprehensive drone security policy, implementing access controls, conducting regular drone security audits, training employees on drone security, and monitoring drone activity, organizations can mitigate these risks and ensure that their use of drones is safe and secure.

Lesson: Understanding States of Matter

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. We will also explore the properties of each state and how they differ from one another.

Section 1: Solid, Liquid, and Gas
A solid has a fixed shape and volume, while a liquid has a fixed volume but no fixed shape. A gas has no fixed shape or volume. These properties are due to the arrangement of particles in each state. In a solid, particles are close together and vibrate in place. In a liquid, particles move around but are still close together. In a gas, particles move freely and spread out.

Section 2: Properties of Matter
Each state of matter has unique properties that make it useful for different purposes. For example, solids are strong and can hold up weight, while liquids can flow and fill containers. Gases can escape containers and spread out, making them useful for filling balloons or lifting objects.

Section 3: Changing States of Matter
Matter can change from one state to another based on temperature and pressure. For example, ice melts when it gets too warm, turning into liquid water. Water can also boil and turn into steam, which is a gas.

Section 4: Real-World Examples
Understanding the states of matter is important in many fields, such as chemistry, physics, and engineering. For example, scientists use the properties of gases to create new materials or study reactions. Engineers use the properties of solids and liquids to design bridges, buildings, and other structures.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the three states of matter and their properties. We also explored how matter can change from one state to another and saw real-world examples of how understanding these states is important. By applying these concepts, we can better understand the world around us and solve problems in many different fields.

Glossary:
- Solid: A state of matter with a fixed shape and volume, where particles are close together and vibrate in place.
- Liquid: A state of matter with a fixed volume but no fixed shape, where particles move around but are still close together.
- Gas: A state of matter with no fixed shape or volume, where particles move freely and spread out.
- Temperature: A measure of how hot or cold something is, usually measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
- Pressure: A measure of how much force is pushing on something, usually measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) or atmospheres.

There were numerous white people who felt that since blackface is and always will be, considered racist, the same thing should apply for the shoe on the opposite foot. Blackface has historic context behind it, dating back to the post-slavery era where white entertainers openly mocked African-Americans.

Whiteface, (a term Cannon even questioned the authenticity of) doesn’t have the historical context to emit the same negative connotations.

Speaking of history, we over at Hip-Hop Wired found 11 Black celebrities who appeared in whiteface over the years–much to the public’s delight.

If Nick Cannon’s heeding of the racial boundary should apply to his album promo stunt, shouldn’t these instances too?

**Lesson:**

**Title:** The History and Impact of Blackface and Whiteface

**Grade Level:** Middle School

**Duration:** 45 minutes

**Objective:** Students will learn about the history and impact of blackface and whiteface, understand the difference between the two, and analyze their effects on society.

**Introduction:**

Blackface and whiteface are two terms that have been used in the entertainment industry for many years. Blackface refers to the practice of white people painting their faces black to imitate African Americans, while whiteface refers to the practice of black people painting their faces white to imitate white people. Both practices have been controversial and have had significant impacts on society.

**Section 1: The History of Blackface and Whiteface**

Blackface originated in the post-slavery era in the United States when white entertainers would openly mock African Americans. They would paint their faces black and exaggerate stereotypical characteristics of African Americans to create an image of a "happy darky." This practice was widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was seen as acceptable and harmless entertainment. However, it was deeply offensive to African Americans and contributed to the perpetuation of negative stereotypes about them.

Whiteface, on the other hand, did not have the same historical context as blackface. It was not as widely practiced or accepted, but it still had an impact on society. When blackface was becoming less popular, some black entertainers began to use whiteface to parody white people. This was seen as more acceptable because it was done by black people, but it still perpetuated negative stereotypes about white people.

**Section 2: The Impact of Blackface and Whiteface**

Both blackface and whiteface had significant impacts on society. Blackface perpetuated negative stereotypes about African Americans and reinforced the idea that they were inferior to white people. This contributed to the perpetuation of systemic racism and made it harder for African Americans to achieve equality and fair treatment.

Whiteface also perpetuated negative stereotypes, but in a different way. By having black entertainers parodying white people, it reinforced the idea that white people were superior and that black people could only succeed by imitating them. This also contributed to the perpetuation of systemic racism and made it harder for black people to achieve equality and fair treatment.

**Section 3: Analyzing the Effects of Blackface and Whiteface**

Now that we know the history and impact of blackface and whiteface, let's analyze their effects on society. Both practices perpetuated negative stereotypes and contributed to the perpetuation of systemic racism. They reinforced the idea that one race was inferior to another and made it harder for people of color to achieve equality and fair treatment.

**Conclusion:**

In conclusion, the history and impact of blackface and whiteface show us how important it is to be aware of the language and images we use in our society. These practices perpetuated negative stereotypes and contributed to the perpetuation of systemic racism. By understanding their impact, we can work towards creating a more equitable and just society.

Lesson Title: How to Read and Understand Product Descriptions

Introduction:
Product descriptions are essential when purchasing items online or in-store. They provide information about the product's features, benefits, and specifications. However, some product descriptions can be confusing or misleading. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand product descriptions effectively.

Section 1: Understanding Product Descriptions

Topic 1: Key Elements of a Product Description
A good product description should include the following key elements:

- Product Name: The name of the product being described.
- Brand Name: The brand that produces the product.
- Features: A list of the product's features, such as size, color, material, etc.
- Benefits: The advantages of using the product, such as improved performance, convenience, or style.
- Specifications: Technical details about the product, such as dimensions, weight, capacity, etc.
- Instructions: How to use or care for the product.

Topic 2: Reading Between the Lines
When reading product descriptions, look for hidden messages or subtle advertising tactics. For example, if a product is described as "lightweight," it may be implied that the product is easy to use or carry. Similarly, if a product is described as "durable," it may suggest that the product is long-lasting and reliable.

Topic 3: Comparing Products
When shopping for a particular item, compare product descriptions to find the best fit for your needs. Look for similarities and differences in features, benefits, and specifications. Use a comparison chart to organize your findings and make an informed decision.

Section 2: Practical Examples

Example 1: Shopping for Headphones
Let's say you are looking for a pair of headphones. You come across two products with the following descriptions:

Product A: Over-ear wireless headphones with noise-cancelling technology, 20-hour battery life, and a comfortable, adjustable headband.

Product B: Noise-canceling wireless headphones with a sleek design, up to 10 hours of playtime, and an adjustable headband for a perfect fit.

Using the key elements discussed earlier, you can compare the two products based on their features, benefits, and specifications. Based on these descriptions, Product A seems to have a longer battery life and more advanced noise-cancelling technology, while Product B is lighter and more stylish.

Example 2: Shopping for Laundry Detergent
Let's say you are looking for a laundry detergent. You come across two products with the following descriptions:

Product A: All-in-one laundry detergent that removes tough stains and brightens clothes, with a fresh scent that lasts throughout the wash cycle.

Product B: Concentrated laundry detergent that cleans and freshens clothes, with a formula that is gentle on sensitive skin.

Using the key elements discussed earlier, you can compare the two products based on their features, benefits, and specifications. Based on these descriptions, Product A seems to have a stronger cleaning formula and a longer-lasting scent, while Product B is gentler on the skin and potentially more cost-effective due to its concentration.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussion

Topic 1: Are Product Descriptions Always Accurate?
Product descriptions are written by the manufacturer or seller to promote their product. While they should be accurate, there is a possibility of exaggeration or misinformation. It is essential to research and read reviews before making a purchase decision.

Topic 2: Can Product Descriptions Be Misleading?
Yes, product descriptions can be misleading. For example, a product may be described as "all-natural" when it contains synthetic ingredients. It is crucial to read between the lines and compare product descriptions to find the truth.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding product descriptions is essential when shopping for items. By learning the key elements, reading between the lines, and comparing products, you can make informed decisions and avoid misleading advertising tactics. Remember to always research and read reviews before making a purchase.
