In the formulation of organic plastic compositions which are molded into various items, it is often desirable that the end product have physical properties which retard the flammability and/or ignition of the item when subjected to an ignition source. One example of a glass fiber reinforced plastic item for which flame retarding characteristics are desirable is the condenser fan of room air conditioners. If that item should ignite and sustain combustion, when subjected to an ignition source, the damage to associated electrical and mechanical equipment could be extensive.
Various flame-retarding additives have been discovered for incorporation in organic materials to prevent flaming and/or glowing combustion of the composition when subjected to an ignition source. Examples of flame-retarded organic plastic compositions may be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,639,304-Raley, Jr., and 3,075,944-Nieldenbruck et al.
Although these flame retardants generally operate efficiently in preventing flaming and/or glowing combustion of various organic plastic items, it has been discovered that a flame-retarded organic plastic item has undesirable drip properties at elevated temperatures when it is of a glass fiber, reinforced, styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer that is flame retarded with a brominated flame-retarding additive. At flaming or glowing combustion conditions, portions of the composition become molten, separate from the body of the composition and fall or are moved to remote locations. At these remote locations, these separated portions can be deposited upon material which has an ignition temperature lower than the temperature of the molten portion and a fire may result.
It is therefore desirable to provide a glass fiber reinforced, flame-retarded, styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer that will not drip or separate when subjected to flaming combustion conditions.

Q:

How can I efficiently dedupe a very large number of records?

I'm working on a database with about 600,000 records, of which approximately 200,000 are believed to be duplicates.
Has anyone got experience/advice for doing dedupe at scale?  I imagine that we'll need to export and do some sort of external dedupe.  Has anyone successfully used the datamade dedupe with Civi?  I know that the "merge" API got some love a couple months ago - will any of that help me?

A:

We did a lot of work to the dedupe processes in CiviCRM and in 4.7 its a much easier process to de-dupe large databases then it used to be. It was presented by Eileen in this years London CiviCon, worth a look before you get into trying to do it outside of CiviCRM with all the pitfalls that brings with it!

Lesson: Introduction to Islamic Prayer Timetables

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Islamic prayer timetables are schedules that Muslims follow to perform their five daily prayers at specific times throughout the day. These timetables are based on the position of the sun in the sky and the direction of qibla, which is the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca.

### Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

Let's say you live in Doha, Qatar, and want to create an Islamic prayer timetable for your community. You would first need to determine the latitude and longitude of your location, as well as the time zone. Using this information, you can calculate the qibla direction and adjust the prayer times accordingly.

For example, let's say the qibla direction for Doha is 252° from geographical North (clock-wise). If the sun rises at 5:30 AM, you would need to adjust the fajr (dawn) prayer time accordingly. After calculating the prayer times, you can create a timetable that your community can use to perform their prayers at the correct times.

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

One important aspect of Islamic prayer timetables is the concept of unity. By following the same timetable, Muslims around the world can perform their prayers together, regardless of their location. This creates a sense of unity and connection among Muslims worldwide. Additionally, prayer timetables help Muslims stay organized and disciplined in their prayer schedule, which can lead to a stronger connection with their faith.

### Glossary

- Qibla: The direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, which Muslims face during prayer.
- Fajr: The dawn prayer, one of the five daily prayers in Islam.
- Latitude and Longitude: Geographic coordinates that represent a location on Earth.
- Time zone: A region of the Earth that observes a uniform standard time.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about Islamic prayer timetables and their importance in helping Muslims perform their prayers at the correct times. We also explored practical examples and real-world scenarios, as well as self-debating discussions on the concept of unity. By understanding these concepts, we can better appreciate the significance of prayer timetables in the Islamic faith.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking

## Chapter 1: Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking

### Section 1: What is Logic and Why is it Important?

Logic is the study of reasoning and argumentation. It helps us understand how to make sense of the world around us by analyzing and evaluating arguments and claims. Logic is important because it enables us to distinguish between good and bad reasoning, and to draw sound conclusions based on evidence.

### Section 2: Types of Logical Fallacies

There are several types of logical fallacies that can weaken an argument. These include ad hominem (attacking the person rather than the argument), straw man (misrepresenting an opponent's position to make it easier to attack), slippery slope (arguing that some event must inevitably follow from a relatively harmless one), and false cause (assuming that because two events occurred together, one caused the other).

### Section 3: How to Analyze Arguments

To analyze an argument, we need to examine its premises (the reasons given to support the conclusion) and its conclusion (the statement being made). We can use the following steps:

1. Identify the premises and conclusion of the argument.
2. Determine whether the premises are true or false.
3. Determine whether the conclusion follows logically from the premises.
4. Consider any counterarguments or objections.

### Section 4: Practice Exercise

Consider the following argument: "All dogs have fur, and Fluffy is a dog. Therefore, Fluffy has fur."

1. Identify the premises and conclusion: Premises: All dogs have fur. Conclusion: Fluffy has fur.
2. Determine whether the premises are true or false: True.
3. Determine whether the conclusion follows logically from the premises: Yes, it does.
4. Consider any counterarguments or objections: None.

Conclusion: The argument is sound and the conclusion follows logically from the premises.

## Glossary

- Logic: The study of reasoning and argumentation.
- Fallacy: A mistake in reasoning that weakens an argument.
- Premise: A reason given to support a conclusion.
- Conclusion: The statement being made.
- Sound: An argument that is valid and has true premises.

Lesson: Advanced Search

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about advanced search techniques that can help us find information more efficiently. We will cover topics such as Boolean operators, natural language searches, and using quotation marks. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to use these techniques to find relevant information quickly and easily.

Section 1: Introduction to Advanced Search Techniques

Topic 1: Boolean Operators
- Boolean operators are words such as "and", "or", and "not" that help us combine keywords to find more specific information.
- Using Boolean operators can help us narrow down our search results and find information more accurately.
- For example, if we want to find information about "dogs" and "cats", we could use the Boolean operator "and" to combine these two keywords: "dogs" AND "cats".

Topic 2: Natural Language Searches
- Natural language searches are searches that mimic the way humans speak and think.
- Instead of using specific keywords, we can use natural language searches to ask questions or make statements.
- For example, instead of searching for "dog breeds", we could search "What are the different types of dogs?".

Topic 3: Quotation Marks
- Quotation marks are used to search for exact phrases or words.
- If we put a phrase in quotation marks, the search engine will look for that exact phrase, not just the individual words.
- For example, if we want to find information about "the cat in the hat", we could search "the cat in the hat" (with quotation marks around the phrase).

Section 2: Practice Questions

1. What is the difference between a Boolean operator and a natural language search?
2. When would it be useful to use quotation marks in a search?
3. How can we use Boolean operators to narrow down our search results?

Section 3: Applying Advanced Search Techniques

Now that we know about Boolean operators, natural language searches, and quotation marks, let's try applying these techniques to a real-world scenario.

Scenario: You are researching different types of dogs and want to find information about their breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

1. Use a natural language search to find information about different types of dogs: "What are the different types of dogs?"
2. Use Boolean operators to narrow down your search results and find more specific information: "dogs" AND "breeds" AND "sizes" AND "temperaments".
3. Use quotation marks to find information about a specific type of dog: "Golden Retriever" (include the phrase in quotation marks to find information about the exact breed).

Conclusion:
By learning advanced search techniques such as Boolean operators, natural language searches, and quotation marks, we can find information more efficiently and accurately. These techniques can be applied to a variety of scenarios and can help us find the information we need quickly and easily.

Glossary:
- Boolean operator: a word such as "and", "or", or "not" that helps us combine keywords to find more specific information.
- Natural language search: a search that mimics the way humans speak and think.
- Quotation marks: symbols used to search for exact phrases or words.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to methods of cleaning thin substrates such as semiconductor wafers, and particularly to a wafer cleaning method executed preparatory to a film forming process. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing such a method.
2. Description of the Related Art
When forming a film on a surface of a wafer, it is important to secure not only a desired film thickness and its uniformity but film strength as well. Sufficient film strength cannot be obtained when there are impurities such as particulate substances on the wafer surface
Generally, the wafer surface is cleaned so as not to transfer contamination resulting from the wafer manufacturing process to subsequent processes. During this cleaning step, detrimental contaminants such as particulate, organic and inorganic substances are removed from the wafer surface prior to formation of a film thereon
The necessity of cleaning the wafer surface is emphasized by Tatsuo Asamaki in his book entitled "Fundamentals of Film Formation (Second Edition)", fifth print, published Jun. 15, 1988 by Nikkan Kogyo Shinbun-sha, page 106. Asamaki states that the following substances must be removed preparatory to film formation:
(1) Dust, which often causes pinholes in the film.
(2) Fats and oils (organic substances), which weaken the cohesion between film and wafer.
(3) Inorganic substances and a layer of natural oxide, which cause the film to separate from the wafer surface
The dust is removed by brushing, high pressure jet cleaning or supersonic wave cleaning. The organic substances are removed by acid or alkaline cleaning. The inorganic substances and the natural oxide layer are removed by dilute hydrofluoric acid.
A conventional procedure for cleaning the wafer surface will be described next with reference to FIG. 1. At preliminary cleaning step S.sub.0, fats and oils are removed from the wafer surface by an organic solvent. This leaves a layer of natural oxide on the wafer surface.
At step S.sub.1, the natural oxide layer is removed from the wafer surface by a treating solution containing fluorine. At step S.sub.2, the wafer is rinsed with pure water H to remove the treating solution and to remove fine particles from the wafer surface. At step S.sub.3, the wafer is spin-dried. Typically, the wafer is made of silicon. Hence, silicon is exposed on the wafer surface after the treating solution containing fluorine is removed (step S.sub.2). The exposed silicon has been activated. The hydrofluoric acid treatment provided at step S.sub.1 produces silicon fluoride (SiF.sub.4). This silico fluoride reacts with the water to produce colloidal silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2) which tends to adhere to the activated silicon. Silicon oxide particles remaining on the wafer surface may form spots or stains called "haze". It is desirable to avoid such a situation.
A second problem yet to be solved is as follows: Since the exposed silicon of the wafer surface is hydrophobic, droplets 13 are formed during rinsing (step S.sub.2) due to the surface tension of the water. Colloidal particles tend to concentrate on vapor-liquid boundaries of the droplets 13. During spin-drying (step S.sub.2), the droplets 13 roll along the wafer surface such that the colloidal particles contained in the droplets 13 adhere to and recontaminate the wafer surface.
A third problem remaining to be solved is as follows: When the wafer is left in an oxygen-containing atmosphere for a long period of time, a layer of natural oxide is formed on its surface. The subsequently formed semiconductor film is superposed on the oxide layer and thus can be easily separated from the wafer surface.
There is a further problem to be solved. When the natural oxide layer is formed on the wafer surface while impurities such as inorganic substances remain on the wafer surface, it is difficult to remove the impurities. Such a situation must be avoided to maintain film quality, including film strength.
A method of preventing inorganic substances such as colloidal particles or metallic particles from adhering to a wafer surface is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-48830, entitled "Semiconductor Surface Treating Method".
According to this method, the wafer surface is first treated with dilute hydrofluoric acid, and thereafter with a mixture of an aqueous solution of trialkylammonium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide. It is stated in the above laid-open specification that the method disclosed therein is capable of efficiently removing metallic impurities such as iron or aluminum from the wafer surface, and reducing the number of particles remaining on the wafer surface.
This method, however, poses the following new problem. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent, and is known to readily oxidize silicon. Thus, a layer of silicon oxide is formed again on the silicon wafer by the action of hydrogen peroxide. This causes separation of the subsequently formed semiconductor film as noted hereinbefore The above method does not secure sufficient film strength.

**Lesson 1: Introduction to Cleaning Methods for Semiconductor Wafers**

**Objective:** To introduce students to the importance of cleaning semiconductor wafers and the methods used for this purpose.

**Materials:** None

**Instructions:**

1. Begin by asking students what they think is the most important factor in manufacturing semiconductor wafers. Accept all answers and then explain that one of the key factors is ensuring that the wafer surface is clean before any film is formed on it.

2. Explain that contaminants such as particulate, organic, and inorganic substances can hinder the formation of a strong film and affect the performance of the final product.

3. Introduce the concept of cleanroom technology, which is used to minimize contamination during the manufacturing process.

4. Describe the different cleaning methods used for semiconductor wafers, including chemical cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, and plasma cleaning. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

5. Discuss the importance of maintaining a clean environment during the manufacturing process and the use of specialized equipment such as vacuum chambers and glove boxes.

6. Conclude the lesson by asking students to identify other industries where cleanliness is crucial and how the principles of cleanroom technology can be applied.

**Glossary:**

- Contamination: The presence of unwanted foreign substances on a surface
- Particulate: Small particles or pieces of matter
- Film: A thin layer of material deposited on a surface
- Uniformity: Consistency or evenness in appearance or character
- Contaminants: Substances that pollute or harm the environment
- Cleanroom technology: A set of practices and procedures designed to minimize contamination in a manufacturing environment
- Chemical cleaning: The use of chemicals to remove contaminants from a surface
- Ultrasonic cleaning: The use of high-frequency sound waves to remove contaminants from a surface
- Plasma cleaning: The use of ionized gas to remove contaminants from a surface

**Conclusion:**

In this lesson, we learned about the importance of cleaning semiconductor wafers and the different methods used for this purpose. We also discussed the principles of cleanroom technology and how it is used to maintain a clean environment during the manufacturing process. By understanding these concepts, students can apply their knowledge to other industries where cleanliness is crucial.


text: Village of Pinckney residents will see an increase in water rates, starting with the quarterly bills being mailed out in early March.. The Village Council on Feb. 9 approved a 3 percent increase effective Jan.1.. It ups water rates from $1.91 per 1,000 gallons used to $1.97 per 1,000 gallons used. It likely will add about $3 to residents' quarterly water bills, said President Rebecca Foster.. The increase is part of the village's plan to incrementally increase water rates based on a 2007 rate study. The study called for a large jump in rates to handle maintence and operation of the system, Foster said, but village officials decided smaller increases over a longer period of time would be easier on residents.. "We've pledged that we will revisit the rates if not every year, at least every other year to make sure we are on track," Foster said.

Lesson: Understanding Water Rates Increase

**Introduction:**
In this lesson, we will learn about the recent water rates increase in the Village of Pinckney. We will analyze the reasons behind the increase, its impact on residents, and the village's plan to gradually increase water rates.

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**
- Water rates are the charges levied by the government or a utility company for providing water supply services to residential or commercial properties.
- Incremental increases in water rates refer to small, regular increases in water rates over time rather than a sudden large increase.
- A rate study is an analysis conducted by experts to determine the appropriate level of water rates based on factors such as maintenance and operation costs.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**
- If you live in the Village of Pinckney, your quarterly water bill will increase by about $3 due to the 3% increase in water rates.
- To calculate the new water rate, you can use the formula: New rate per 1,000 gallons used = (Old rate per 1,000 gallons used + (Old rate x 0.03)) / 2.
- For example, if you used 10,000 gallons of water in the previous quarter, your bill would have been $19.10. With the new rate, your bill will be $19.70.

**Section 3: Real-World Scenarios**
- The Village of Pinckney has decided to gradually increase water rates over time to make it easier for residents to adjust to the changes.
- This approach is different from other villages that may decide to implement a large jump in rates all at once.
- By revisiting their water rates every year or every other year, the village ensures that they are staying on track with their maintenance and operation costs.

**Glossary:**
- Water rates: Charges levied by the government or a utility company for providing water supply services.
- Incremental increases: Small, regular increases in water rates over time.
- Rate study: An analysis conducted by experts to determine the appropriate level of water rates.

**Conclusion:**
Understanding the reasons behind the water rates increase in the Village of Pinckney and how it impacts residents can help us appreciate the importance of regular rate studies and gradual increases in water rates. By applying the concepts learned in this lesson, we can better understand the implications of similar decisions in our own communities.

Lesson: Introduction to Business Strategy

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Business strategy refers to the long-term plan of action that a company takes to achieve its goals and objectives. It involves analyzing the current market trends, identifying opportunities and threats, and developing a unique value proposition that sets the company apart from its competitors. A well-defined business strategy helps a company to stay focused, efficient, and profitable in the long run.

## Section 2: Questions and Answers

1. What is the difference between a business plan and a business strategy?
Answer: A business plan is a document that outlines the details of a new venture, including the products or services, target market, marketing and sales strategy, financial projections, and management team. On the other hand, a business strategy is a high-level plan that defines the overall direction and goals of the company, taking into account both internal and external factors.

2. Why is it important to have a business strategy?
Answer: Having a clear business strategy is essential because it provides a roadmap for the company to follow, helping it to stay focused and aligned with its goals. It also helps to identify potential risks and opportunities, and to make informed decisions that will lead to long-term success.

## Section 3: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

Let's consider the example of a small boutique that wants to expand its customer base and increase its revenue. The owner could develop a business strategy that includes the following components:

1. Identifying the target market: The boutique could conduct market research to identify its ideal customer, such as women aged 25-40 who are interested in fashion and have a higher disposable income.

2. Developing a unique value proposition: Based on the target market, the boutique could differentiate itself by offering a curated selection of trendy and affordable clothing, with excellent customer service and personalized styling sessions.

3. Implementing a marketing plan: The boutique could use social media, email marketing, and influencer partnerships to reach its target audience and promote its unique value proposition.

4. Measuring success: The boutique could track key metrics such as website traffic, customer acquisition cost, and average order value to measure the effectiveness of its strategy and make data-driven decisions.

## Glossary

- Business strategy: A high-level plan that defines the overall direction and goals of a company.
- Value proposition: A statement that explains the benefits of a product or service, and why it is better than others on the market.
- Target market: A group of consumers with similar needs or characteristics, who are most likely to buy a particular product or service.

Lesson: Hydraulic Systems

## Introduction

Hydraulic systems are widely used in various industries, including aviation, to transmit power and control movements. In this lesson, we will learn about the basic components of a hydraulic system and how they work together to achieve desired outcomes.

## Section 1: Basic Components of a Hydraulic System

A hydraulic system consists of several components that work together to transmit power and control movement. These components include:

1. Pump: The pump is the heart of the hydraulic system. It is responsible for pressurizing the hydraulic fluid and sending it throughout the system.

2. Reservoir: The reservoir is a container that holds the hydraulic fluid. It provides a place for the fluid to be stored when it is not being used.

3. Actuator: The actuator is a device that converts the hydraulic pressure into mechanical motion. It can be a cylinder, motor, or any other device that moves in response to hydraulic pressure.

4. Valves: Valves are used to control the flow of hydraulic fluid within the system. They can be used to direct fluid to specific parts of the system or to shut off the flow entirely.

5. Filter: The filter is used to remove any contaminants from the hydraulic fluid. This helps to ensure that the system operates efficiently and that the actuators and other components last longer.

## Section 2: How Hydraulic Systems Work

Hydraulic systems work by using the principles of hydraulics, which is the science of transmitting force and movement through a fluid. In a hydraulic system, the pump pressurizes the hydraulic fluid and sends it through the lines to the actuator. The actuator then converts the hydraulic pressure into mechanical motion, such as moving a load or controlling a machine.

The valves in the system control the flow of fluid to the actuator. They can be used to direct fluid to specific parts of the system or to shut off the flow entirely. This allows the operator to control the movement of the machine or device being controlled by the hydraulic system.

The filter is an important component of the system because it helps to keep the fluid clean and free of contaminants. This ensures that the system operates efficiently and that the components last longer.

## Section 3: Practical Examples and Applications

Hydraulic systems are used in a wide range of applications, including:

1. Aircraft: Hydraulic systems are used in aircraft to control the movement of the flaps, landing gear, and other components.

2. Construction Equipment: Hydraulic systems are used in construction equipment, such as excavators and cranes, to control the movement of the arms and other components.

3. Manufacturing: Hydraulic systems are used in manufacturing to control the movement of machines and tools.

4. Agriculture: Hydraulic systems are used in agriculture to control the movement of equipment, such as tractors and harvesters.

5. Automotive: Hydraulic systems are used in automobiles to control the movement of the brakes, steering, and other components.

## Glossary

- Pump: A device that pressurizes the hydraulic fluid and sends it throughout the system.
- Reservoir: A container that holds the hydraulic fluid.
- Actuator: A device that converts hydraulic pressure into mechanical motion.
- Valves: Devices used to control the flow of hydraulic fluid within the system.
- Filter: A component that removes contaminants from the hydraulic fluid.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, hydraulic systems are an essential part of many industries and are used to control movement and transmit power. By understanding the basic components and principles of hydraulic systems, we can apply this knowledge to new problems and scenarios.

Lesson: Understanding Poetry
Introduction:
Poetry is a form of literature that uses language and structure to convey meaning and create emotional or mental images. It can be written in various forms such as sonnets, free verse, and haikus. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of understanding poetry by analyzing different elements of poems such as meter, rhyme, imagery, and theme.
Section 1: Understanding the Basics
Topic 1: Meter
Meter refers to the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry. It creates a specific rhythm that contributes to the poem's overall musicality. For example, a line with alternating stressed and unstressed syllables has iambic meter.
Topic 2: Rhyme
Rhyme is the repetition of similar sounds at the end of words. It adds musicality to the poem and creates a sense of unity between lines. End rhymes occur at the end of lines, while internal rhymes occur within a line.
Topic 3: Imagery
Imagery refers to the use of descriptive language to create mental pictures or sensory experiences for the reader. It is an essential element of poetry because it helps readers connect with the poem on an emotional level.
Topic 4: Theme
Theme is the underlying message or meaning of a poem. It can be expressed directly or indirectly through the use of symbols, metaphors, and other literary devices.
Section 2: Analyzing Poems
Topic 1: "Footsteps of Angels" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
- Identify the meter (iambic tetrameter)
- Identify the rhyme scheme (ABAB)
- Describe the imagery used (e.g., "The woodland trees are coming into leaf")
- Determine the theme (the beauty of nature and the passage of time)
Topic 2: "A Song About Myself" by John Keats
- Identify the meter (iambic pentameter)
- Identify the rhyme scheme (ABABCDCD EE)
- Describe the imagery used (e.g., "I am a dew-drop, a diamond glittering")
- Determine the theme (the poet's desire to create something beautiful and lasting)
Topic 3: "A Very Short Song" by Dorothy Parker
- Identify the meter (anapestic trimeter)
- Identify the rhyme scheme (AABB)
- Describe the imagery used (e.g., "The lights are low, the bottles empty")
- Determine the theme (the emptiness and loneliness of a party)
Section 3: Applying Poetry Analysis Skills
Topic 1: Analyzing a Poem on Your Own
- Choose a poem you like and analyze its meter, rhyme, imagery, and theme
- Use your analysis to write a brief summary of the poem's meaning
- Share your analysis with a classmate or teacher for feedback
Topic 2: Creating Your Own Poem
- Choose a topic you are passionate about (e.g., nature, love, friendship)
- Experiment with different meters, rhyme schemes, and imagery to express your topic
- Share your poem with a classmate or teacher for feedback
Conclusion:
Understanding poetry requires attention to detail and an open mind. By analyzing different elements of poems, we can uncover their meanings and appreciate their beauty. By applying these skills to our own analysis and creation, we can deepen our connection to poetry and express ourselves through words.
