Can You Screw Up in Life and still End Up Being a Success?

Most people who are truly successful are not so due to a lack of mistakes, but rather a lack of the wisdom to learn from them. You should not forget your past, but you should not dwell on it either, It has been said that those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it. This usually applies to history in general but applies well to you specifically. Remember the price that you paid for those mistakes so that you will be sure not to do the same things again. You are at a great time in your life to set a course for success, so find something that you are passionate about, incorporate that passion into your long term plan and set some goals to achieve

7. Buy or Sell: Vince will "screw" Cena this Sunday, leading to Punk re-signing with the WWE?

At this point? I am buying. That would be an incredible way to get CM Punk over as a true, blue-chip main event star heel. He's one of those guys who is certainly above the middle of the card, but has been dying on the vine a bit in recent months. He's obviously very talented and he's been given a multitude of opportunities to succeed, but for whatever reason he has not quite knocked it out of the park. After those last few promos by Punk, if he unites with Vince McMahon and screws over John Cena for the WWE Championship...that would be a great way to cement him the top heel in the company. After everything he said about the direction of the WWE, how it's not a good company like everyone think it is and is led to believe it is, if he sells that all down the river for the title and a lucrative new contract, think of how the crowd would react to him. Even though Punk has been the despicable heel for years now, even regular fans really bought into the things he's been saying the last few weeks. How often does that happen with anyone? To go the completely opposite way, to sell out his beliefs for money and gold, it would be like The Rock turning on Mick Foley back in 1998 at the WWE Championship tournament to side with Vince. Major heat would ensue.

8. What exactly did George W. Bush do to screw up the economy?

1. Massive spending in sectors that produce the least return for the US economy (ie nation building abroad. A complete neglect of infrastructure needs in our own country. 2. Redirection of government spending away from those with the highest propensity to spend and lowest propensity to import (ie the poor). Bush slashed things such as special needs education funding, child care. 3. Tax cuts concentrated on those with the lowest propensity to spend and the highest propensity to import (ie the rich). The theory went they would invest this money in the US economy - the reality was they did not . Growth in Gross Domestic Private Investment from 2001-2005 was amongst the lowest in recent decades - and from 2006 to 2008 was negative. 4. Neglect for his own regulatory boards - financial sector regulators saw their funding slashed by the Bush administration - and regulators complained about outright hostility from the White House to them doing their jobs. 5. Bush actively pushed the Home Ownership Society that drove the sub-prime bubble build up. That is an understandable mistake - and quite possibly well intentioned - but he then had the nerve to try and blame it on Democrats (which you evidently have fallen for - how are Dodd/Frank to blame for events that happened under a Republican congress and a Republican House and Senate? 6. Yes deficits were smaller then - but you should not be running deficits at all during an expansion. Bush inherited the largest budget surplus in history and blew it in a single year. Deficits are unavoidable during a contraction - but you are supposed to pay them off with surpluses during the expansion. Bush had the opportunity to do that but instead gave massive tax cuts for the rich to spend on investment in the emerging economies that created no jobs in the US, and in nation building and settling old scores in the middle East. Yes - he has been out of office for 4 years - but to believe that the impact of the worst economic contraction in 80 years is automatically reversed as soon as we have a new President is pretty silly.

Fix Loose Bridge Saddle Screw
Fix loose bridge saddle screwLoctite might help. You pour a little bit on the thread (having undone it a bit 1st so that when you do the screw up again, the loctite is pulled into the thread) and is prevents things vibrating loose. People use it on cars and models a lot.Loctite HomepageThread locking sectionIt allows you to undo the thread if you need to though. You can feel that it's locked up, then as you undo the nut/screw etc you feel it ping as it lets go (normally quite easily)I would advise trying a snmall amount at first - just enough to get the thread a bit wet. You do not what it locked to thight that you can not adjust anything !You can buy it in most DIY shops or motor spares shops— — — — — —How can I fix this problem?When it happened to me I managed to get the post to hold by stuffing the hole tight with match sticks with the head torn off, then replacing the screw. I also wrapped a layer of writing paper around the screw thread. Unfortunately, it was not a permanent solution but it held for a few months.— — — — — —Unclear answer. How do I unscrew if I don't know the screw position?If you can not find the slot, then get a screw extractor which has a barb type bit which will grab the metal of the screw and remove it. Otherwise, righty tighty, lefty loosy.— — — — — —If you have a very tight screw and you apply heat to it, will it make it tighter or more loose?If you have a very tight screw and you apply heat to it, will it make it tighter or more loose?It depends.If it's a normal metal screw in a normal tapped hole, then it is tight because it's been torqued to some value. The action of the inclined planes of the thread convert that applied torque into stretch of the screw. The axial force that goes along with that causes friction, which prevents the screw from unscrewing, so the screw continues to apply the axial force that holds the parts in place. With this normal application of a screw, if you could magically heat just the screw, then the screw would expand and the increase in length would reduce the axial force. The radius of the screw would also increase, but for a normal screw in a normal tapped hole, there is radial clearance, so there would not be any binding due to the increase in radius. The net result is that the screw would get looser. HOWEVER.It is not easy to warm up just the screw. It is firmly pressed against the metal it is screwed into. Suppose you have a steel screw screwed into a tapped hole in a block of aluminum. Whatever heat you apply will end up heating up the aluminum as well as the steel screw. Aluminum expands more than steel when heated, so heating them up will cause the screw to get tighter. Effectively the aluminum will expand in the axial direction more than the screw, so it will stretch the screw even further. This is despite the fact that the hole also gets larger in diameter. The net result is that the screw would get tighter. You might be able to get the screw to loosen by cooling the joint instead.If the steel screw were screwed into a block of titanium, then you'd have to reverse the above. Steel expands more than titanium when heated. Of course, there are things like nylon screws. That will expand faster than metal and that will tend to loosen the axial load assuming you've sized the screw and hole correctly.The above was all for a normal screw in a normal hole. If for some reason the screw is oversize or the hole is undersized, then most of the torque will go into grinding the threads against each other. There won't be much axial force. Now, if you heat the screw, when it expands it will increase the radial forces and that will make the screw tighter. Cooling would make it looser. But this is for a non-standard case where you've really buggered up the threads. Think 10-32 screw forced into an 8-32 hole. I'm not sure that is even possible to do, mind you.Later: There have been a lot of comments about 'stuck" screws. Let me emphasize what I already said. The above was all for a normal screw in a normal hole.I'm talking about a screw that is tight, not one that is stuck. It could be tight because someone torqued it to a high level. That does not mean it is stuck. I'm not talking about a screw that is corroded and stuck. I'm not talking about a screw that is misthreaded. I'm not talking about a screw that has been forced into a hole that is too small. I'm only talking about a screw that is tightened a lot. The question asks about 'tighter or looser." It doesn't say anything about 'stuck. " I realize that many people who have read this question have interpreted 'tight" to mean 'stuck." When I read the question, I did not read it that way.If you have a very tight screw and you apply heat to it, will it make it tighter or more loose?.
Did I Just Screw My Girlfriends Gift Up?
No, you did not screw up. I have the same problem with my boyfriend and we've been together for 2 years and 5 months. He lives 1000 miles away, about, and EVERY TIME we see eachother, I've over ridden with guilt because he's always the one who is paying for the gas money to come see me or his mom paid for the plane tickets for me to go down there. And EVERY TIME I get the feeling that I need to do something for him because he does SO MUCH for me. Yeah, I bet she LOVES the necklace. But you've been together for 2 months, and she probably feels like she's a burden that you spent so much on her. That's how I feel every time my bf does something sweet, and I have a hard time accepting even just a small little stuffed animal from him. (I made him understand that buying me anything at all would only result in me being upset and he's stopped buying me crap, but even so I adore every time he thinks to get me something or send me a letter.)1.

This throws the entire peice into chaos, and 30 seconds later, we are all a clear bar out. Ouch. This is what we are afraid of.

How to Remove a Stripped Screw Head
How to Remove a Stripped Screw HeadIt happens to even the best DIYer: the simple process of removing a screw becomes a struggle when the screw refuses to budge and the head of the screw becomes stripped. But not all is lost. Let's look at some ideas you can try to remove that stripped screw. Use the Right Screwdriver First, double-check that the screwdriver bit you are using is the correct size and type for the troublesome screw. Using a bit that is too small or too large can increase the possibility of stripping the screw even more, especially if the screw is made of a softer metal. And obviously, do not mix and match bit types and head types - using a Phillips bit on a square head is just asking for problems. Before getting too complicated, try some simple fixes first. With your properly-fitting bit, apply a fair amount of pressure inwards towards the stuck screw as you slowly attempt to unscrew it. Sometimes this gentle but firm pressure combined with the unscrewing motion is enough to get stuck screws moving again. Sometimes you can get a stuck stripped screw to move by simply adding a bit of material between the screw head and your bit. The rubber from a rubber band can potentially work well for this. Cover the head of the stripped screw with the rubber and then insert your screwdriver bit directly into the screw head. This can sometimes add enough friction between the screw head and the bit to get the screw turning again. Another option is to try removing the screw using locking pliers. This only works if the head of the screw is already above the surface of the object you are working on; if the head is still flush with the surface, the pliers wo not have anything to get a grip on. But if the screw was already partly freed before it stripped, it can sometimes work to grab onto it with locking pliers and use the pliers to unscrew the screw. If the screw head is just too damaged for removal, then the serious DIYer can potentially create a new way to grip the screw by modifying the metal on the head with power tools or by purchasing a screw extractor. Heating the screw is another possibility. Always take care when working with tools and think safety first.— — — — — —How can I drill out a screw with no head?The link in John Daltonu2019s answer has a lot of good suggestions. You donu2019t mention whether this is a wood screw or a machine screw.If it is a wood screw, when you try to drill it out your drill bit will try to wander off the center of the broken screw. To avoid this, use a center drill in a drill press to start the hole. Then switch to a twist drill to finish drill out your screw. Center drills have beefy shafts with smaller tips so they wo not flex and jump off the broken screw. A drill press with the work piece securely clamped to its table will resist sideways movement.If it is a machine screw try a screw extractor. This requires drilling a small hole into the broken screw and the using the extractor with a tap wrench. The extractor is very hard, strong, tapered and its flutes have a reverse twist. As you turn it into the hole counter clockwise it grabs the screw and (hopefully) backs it out. Use some penetrating oil and let it soak in before you attempt this. Because the extractor is so hard it it brittle and can snap suddenly breaking off in the hole. Then you have even more trouble since the extractor is as hard as a drill bit and canu2019t easily be drilled.Good luck! As a teen I broke a tap off in a hole in my caru2019s engine head. That was a puzzle!How can I drill out a screw with no head?— — — — — —Screw head shapesPan head A low disc with a rounded, high outer edge with large surface area Button or dome head Cylindrical with a rounded top Round head A dome-shaped head used for decoration. Mushroom or Truss head Lower-profile dome designed to prevent tampering Countersunk or flat head Conical, with flat outer face and tapering inner face allowing it to sink into the material. The angle of the screw is measured as the full angle of the cone. Oval or raised head A decorative screw head with a countersunk bottom and rounded top. Also known as "raised countersunk" (UK) Bugle head Similar to countersunk, but there is a smooth progression from the shank to the angle of the head, similar to the bell of a bugle Cheese head Disc with cylindrical outer edge, height approximately half the head diameter Fillister head Cylindrical, but with a slightly convex top surface. Height to diameter ratio is larger than cheese head. This eliminates the need for a flat washer.Some varieties of screw are manufactured with a break-away head, which snaps off when adequate torque is applied. This prevents tampering and also provides an easily inspectable joint to guarantee proper assembly. An example of this is the shear bolts used on vehicle steering columns, to secure the ignition switch.

Stud Finding for Window Curtains  What Does It Mean That the Whole Side of the Window Frame Is Magne
There's metal corner bead under the finished surface. It will be more difficult to screw into than drywall alone. Put the screw more than an inch away from the corner and you should be fine. As a renter, just make sure you remove the curtain and patch and paint the holes you made when you need to leave• Related QuestionsIn languages that don't allow underscores in integer constants, is it a good practice to create a constant for 1 billion?Do not create a constant for your big literals. You would need a constant for each such literal, which is (in my opinion) a complete joke. If you desperately need to make your literals clearer without the help of things like syntax highlighting, you could (though I would not) create functions or macros to make your life "easier":.------Firefox intermittently tries to download/open a PHP page rather than it execute on the serverIf PHP is configured properly in Apache and the client is functioning properly, the PHP script may not be specifying the proper MIME type for the content output.

IIRC, libc can handle that when linked dynamically, so I'd try that first. If that doesn't work, your only option is to compile on FreeBSD 8.Generally, you shouldn't expect binary compiled on X major release to work on X-1 release. But it works other way around by installing misc/compatXX packages------What is causing my Intel 7260 bluetooth device to disconnect when I unblock it with rfkill?The same problem occurs with my Lenovo T440s.

I hope that I have been of some help to you and your Aussie.Everett------Is it possible to enable http compression for requests?This is NOT allowed. According to the HTTP specification (RFC 2616), Content-Encoding is NOT one of the possible request header fields, therefore it is not possible to compress the request entity body as there is no legal way to let the server know this has occurred. Any compression of the request body is done only as a non-standard extension------Is it possible to use services that provide their own pid, like dnsmasq, to use with upstart?You can use the Upstart job and shell scripts in this repository:restart dnsmasq without tearing down the bridge, simply use the restart command (do not use stop then start, that will tear down the bridge).Note that you will need to migrate your configs from /etc/default/lxc-net to /etc/lxc-net.------Should I insulate a garage when converting it to a workshop?My only concern would be if the projects would suffer, if you can handle the extremes.

Eventually I had to buy a new mouse.------My Black Lab smells really bad. We wash him and it makes no difference! Please Help!?I suggest you visit with the vet. There can be many causes for this. For example, my dog had a bloody tumor which caused him to smell. It can also be diet related. It never hurts to take your pet to the vet and have them checked out. Better a small vet bill than to lose your pet.------should singleton be life-time available or should it be destroyable?Whatever floats your boat.If you need to destroy it (maybe to reclaim memory or maybe it has state that's no longer valid) you should do that.If it holds state that's inconvenient to recreate on demand, you should keep it around.If you have no particular reason to destroy it I think you should keep it around.------Is it safe to screw #14 screws into the bottom of Center Support Beam?This will be absolutely fine. People put screws into beams all the time. The fibers that run along the beam will barely be broken by this. (Notches out of the beam interrupt the fibers, which makes them another story altogether.)You might want to predrill with a small (like 1/8") drill bit to make your life a little easier

Why did substituting water for milk screw up my recipe?Okay? Last time I answered a question like this I got thumbs down? But I will try again? Milk add a creamy texture to casseroles and baked goods and also milk has fat. Fat is what makes food taste good. Evaporated milk is concentrated milk and makes food velvety and creamy. Water in baked goods disappears making the muffins dry. Milk makes muffins less dry because it does not disappear like water does. You can also try applesauce if you are ever out of milk? And the muffins wont tastes like applesauce either! I have used applesauce in chocolate brownies and you can not taste the applesauce at all.6.

Why is a door handle on an opposite edge to the hinges?For maximum leverage (torque) to overcome the force of the atmospheric pressure acting upon the large area of the door, thus displacing the air as it is opened (or closed)7. How to I Break into my car?Well first you may be able to affordably get key made. if you have original dealership purchase paperwork among the car loan vehicle description ect will be a key replacement form and have the number. and your local dealership may be able to get on internet and get code. thats what i did for my 96 chevy cavalier cost $6. other wise have you been trying to open with door handle or snag keys from ignition? is it electronic locks have a fob? maybe you can poke the button. before breaking a window or actually damaging your door seal try your dealership for rekeying.8. I got locked in the freezer at work, because the inside door handle was broken, can I sue?This got here approximately to me basically 2 weeks in the past, purely i became unlocking my vehicle door and the lock became frozen, so i attempted jiggling the main, shifting returned and forth attempting to loosen the ice up, did not artwork so I utilized slightly greater stress and snap. I additionally had slightly (perhaps a million/sixty 4") uncovered, yet not likely adequate to snatch with tweezers, hemostats, or needle nostril. So. i attempted rapid-drying adhesives, yet not large glue. i attempted a pair situations even though it became chilly exterior and the glue was not curing rapid adequate, i presumed i became gonna finally end up gluing the broken key into the lock. So, I grabbed so heat soapy water and a enamel brush from the residing house, and sat available and scrubbed off each and all the glue that i could desire to verify or get to. I went interior to get heat for a at the same time as. perhaps 2 hrs. I went returned exterior to objective the tweezers returned. lo and behold earlier I even have been given to my vehicle door I seen the broken key protruding some million/4". I yanked it appropriate out with the needle nostril. What got here approximately? The water that I used to scrub the glue off iced over interior the lock and pushed broken key out. What success! Now this might artwork in case you reside able with chilly temps. otherwise i could have been given get some extractors (do not wreck those off on your lock) or call a locksmith.
HCDE 451 // A1 Process Blog: Electric Screwdriver
PromptFor the A1 prototype, I was tasked with designing a handheld electric screwdriver with a variable speed control and digital display allows you to auto-select screwdriver shape and size. The requirements are as follows:variable speed control you decide the mechanism/interaction and whether it is fluid or distinct settingsscrew-driver selection mechanism (either digital or non-digital your choice) allows you to automatically select and switch between either Phillips or flathead shape and five different sizes of each shape (for 10 total screwhead choices)screw-driver direction selection mechanism (non-digital) to either screw in or unscrewdigital readout (monochromatic, non-touch sensitive) of number of screws screwed and screws unscrewed for tracking your progress as a handypersoncan be used right or left-handedproduct dimensions are a minimum of 6 inches long and must be able to contain a rechargeable batteryDesignOXO is a brand well-known for their easy-to-hold kitchen utensils and office supplies. Originally designing for people with arthritis, the founders of OXO aim to create products that are usable for anyone using their tools. With this in mind, I began to sketch the various screwdriver features. I thought of the various ways I could create affordances for the different parts: twists, buttons, knobs, wheels, digital displays, etc. I took into consideration the approximate size of about 56 inches and chose to place most of the features at the top of the screwdriver in such a way that the user would be able to hold it and view all their settings at the same time. I knew I wanted to incorporate a rubber grip and a circumference that would make the product easy to hold, so it was just a matter of choosing which affordances to select for the various features.PrototypeI decided that the features on the screwdriver would have to be consistent. Using too many different affordances (twists, buttons, etc. ) could be confusing. I chose to focus on a twist-based selector for the screwhead and size selectors. This was space-efficient and fit easily above the main part of the grip. I put in a small display towards the bottom of the handle, and placed the battery compartment at the base. The on/off buttons on the main part of the handle where it would be easily reachable.This prototype was built primarily out of cardboard from the Comotion Makerspace at the University of Washington. After cutting sheets of cardboard into rectangles, I was able to cover them in construction paper and roll them up to create a round handle and the twist-selection features of the top of the screwdriver. I drew icons on dot stickers and used them as labels for the settings on the screwdriver.Usability Testing at Home and in ClassI first tested the prototype with my sister, asking her to change various settings and pretend to screw things into a bookshelf. A usability test video clip of my sister could be found here. I was also able to gather feedback during a critique session in class where I was able to demonstrate and test my prototype with 11 different people. They wrote down their comments and suggestions on sticky notes.Findings and AnalysisAfter testing the prototype with a total of 12 people, the general consensus for what went well are as follows:Users appreciate the visibility of the various options on the screwdriverThe consideration to detail and placement was something users enjoyed and found made the prototype easier to understandAfter a quick demonstration of how to use the screwdriver, users found it intuitive and easy to understandHowever, it was clear that some parts needed improvement:The fragility of the prototyping materials made users hesitant to twist and turn parts of it with the fear that they may break it (as seen in the video above where my sister was reluctant to twist the top part of the grip)Some users found the icons confusing, and the labeling overall could be improved (such as changing speed settings 1, 2, 3 to slow, medium, fastA tapered tip could help guide the user to where they were screwing in the bitsI found that the overall design was effective, but it required minor tweaks to improve the clarity of what particular parts of the screwdriver do. With my limited type of materials, users found it difficult to determine which parts they could press: one user asked, Are the round icons digital or just labels?If I were able to create a second iteration of this prototype, I would consider using more varied materials, perhaps using shinier materials for buttons that clearly distinguish those affordances from other parts of the screwdriver
Problems of Phased Array Ground Penetrating Radar Detection System
Although GPR has been widely used in hydrology, engineering, environment and other fields, many basic theoretical and technical problems have not been fundamentally solved, so the real advantages of GPR have not been brought into full play.The main problems existing in GPR technology include:1) The detection depth is shallow, and the contradiction between detection depth and resolution cannot be overcome. Increasing detection depth means sacrificing detection resolution;2) Multiple spread and other clutter jamming are serious, and there has been no good elimination method, which exists in radars at home and abroad;3) The influence of medium unevenness is great and can not be eliminated, resulting in difficulty in obtaining necessary velocity data;4) The data collection method of single sending and single receiving can provide limited information for post-processing and interpretation.The above problems are fatal defects for GPR. Although many geophysicists, electromagnetic experts and geophysical workers have done a lot of research and improvement on radar antenna design, signal processing and underground target imaging, these works are only partial modifications to the existing GPR system. In order to develop GPR technology, we must update our ideas and solve the problems from the fundamental principle.In view of this situation, experts proposed to develop a new GPR system - phased array GPR detection system in 1999.The basic research idea is to replace the current monopole radar antenna with the phased array radar antenna by using the relatively mature military phased array radar technology. Its purpose is to gather the electromagnetic wave into a narrow beam to transmit underground (or detection object) through the phased array technology, and receive the radar echo signal reflected by the target by using the multi-channel acquisition technology, The advanced data processing is carried out, and finally the three-dimensional image of the internal structure of the detection object is given.Development prospect of ground penetrating radar technologyIt is worth noting that at present, similar products have appeared in the market, such as RIS antenna array series of a company, but these products simply combine multiple monopole antennas into array antennas, which is essentially different from the idea of phased array ground penetrating radar.Because the phased array radar converges the electromagnetic wave into a narrow beam by controlling the phase delay of each channel, the energy is concentrated and the wave front diffusion is small. Therefore, the detection depth of the phased array radar is much larger under the condition of the same frequency and transmission power; On the contrary, under the same detection depth, phased array radar can improve the transmission power, so its resolution is much higher than the existing radar. In addition, since the spherical wave transmission is changed to beam transmission, the influence of medium heterogeneity is much smaller.Secondly, the phased array radar works in a continuous scanning mode and can scan in multiple directions. Therefore, the amount of information is much larger than that of the existing ground penetrating radar. For some special detection work, such as the quality detection of embankment cut-off wall, its role is unmatched by the existing ground penetrating radar (monopole antenna radar can not detect the joints, forks and other defects of embankment cut-off wall at all).Because phased array radar is a multi-channel received signal, multi-channel superposition can be carried out, just like the multiple coverage technology of reflection seismic exploration. Therefore, multiple interference can be greatly eliminated, which is difficult for existing radars. The antenna of high frequency (600mhz-1ghz) phased array ground penetrating radar can be made smaller, and its advantages are unmatched by the existing ground penetrating radar in shallow detection.At present, the system prototype has been completed. The carrier free pulse working system with center frequency of 900MHz is adopted, and the transmitting and receiving antennas are separated. 16 (4 × 4) Transmit channel forming, beam aggregation and scanning 16 (4) × 4) The channel receives the echo, and the optional scanning angles are - 36 °, - 24 °, - 12 °, 0 °, 12 °, 24 ° and 36 °.The software part of the system has rich data processing functions. The main conventional processing includes filtering, gain adjustment, static and dynamic correction, deconvolution, complex signal analysis, time-frequency analysis, etc., and multi-channel data processing, such as velocity analysis, superposition technology, coherence analysis technology, array signal processing, etc. And weak signal extraction, target automatic recognition and inversion interpretation under various clutter interference. A large number of field experiments on concrete detection in Yichang Three Gorges dam are carried out. The experimental results show that the spotlight scanning function of phased array radar has been realized, the penetration depth is greater than 1.5m and the resolution is higher than that of ordinary radar.Editing: hfy
