Nowadays web trend is for free decentralized web services. Instead of centralized video tubes, social network and cloud, web developers and users prefer decentralized and free(dom) web services. This post overviews free video hosting alternatives for web developers and bloggers. It is about encouragement to your own video service right on your website or blog and embedding the video links from websites other the youtube.
There are 04 solutions and you can choose the one which suits you:
If you have a little know how of how html works then you can easily tag video in following steps.
<video width="320" height="240" src="..//bin/edit/myvideofiles/video.ogv"></video> and save your Web page.
<applet archive="http://www.theora.org/cortado.jar" code="com.fluendo.player.Cortado.class" width="352" height="288">

If you are running wordpress site which is either hosted in premium account or hosted by yourself, you can easily manage your uploaded video using videopress plugin. You can install VideoPress Plugin just like another plugin right from your WP dashboard. VideoPress Quick Start Guide is helpful resource.
mediagoblin.org is a free software media publishing platform that anyone can run. You can think of it as a decentralized alternative to Flickr, YouTube, SoundCloud, etc. It required dedicated web server.
You can upload and embed links from websites other than youtube like: tune.pk, gobblin.se, vimeo.com, dailymotion.com, veoh.com, metacafe.com, rutube.ru, break.com, and blip.tv.
Following points are helpful to provide construction joint in RC Slab, Beam and Raft Foundation:
Construction joints are placed at the end of a day’s work. In slabs, they may be designed to permit movement and/or to transfer load. Often in reinforced concrete a conscious effort is made to clean the joint and bond the next day’s work.[1].
The number of construction joints in concrete structures should be minimized. If construction joints are necessary to facilitate construction, it is normally aligned perpendicular to the direction of the member. For beams and slabs, construction joints are preferably located at about one-third of the span length. The choice of this location is based on the consideration of low bending moment anticipated with relatively low shear force. However, location of one-third span is not applicable to simply supported beams and slabs because this location is expected to have considerable shear forces and bending moment when subjected to design loads. Sometimes, engineers may tend to select the end supports as locations for construction joints just to simplify construction. [2].
Construction joint is not preferred at midspan. When formwork removed from construction pours (delay in next pouring) and the beam (or slab) has had to cantilever from the previous support to the new construction joint. Also, joints at midspan do not typically work for post-tensioned construction. you need to accommodate anchorages and at approx 1/3 span works best. [3].
You need to provide a joint with key and rebars crossing the joint. In raft footing, at construction joint, shear force may not be minimum/zero. Hence you will have to leave dowels from one pour to another pour to transfer shear. You may calculate area of reinforcement required based on permissible shear stress as 0.45 fy. [4].
You can have your opinion and suggestion in comment box below.
Following is one step guide for Installation of Blender in GNU Debian-cut and wheezy:
In GNU Debian, write following command in terminal:
$ su
$ apt-get install blender
The latest version is available in testing repo and available by default in debian-cut
Following is guide for installation of QGIS 1.8.0 in GNU Debian-cut and wheezy:
Update Packages for Wheezy for i386 and amd64 are available at:
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://qgis.org/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://qgis.org/debian wheezy main
To add the the qgis.org repository public key to your apt keyring, type:
gpg –recv-key 997D3880
gpg –export –armor 997D3880 | sudo apt-key add –
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qgis
If you also want python plugins make sure to install the optional python package:
sudo apt-get install python-qgis
If you want the GRASS plugin make sure to install the optional package:
sudo apt-get install grass
sudo apt-get install qgis-plugin-grass
As to date i.e., 30/09/12, qgis-plugin-grass was not installable because it required a package grass641 which is not available in any repo (stable, testing, unstable, experimental) of debian. I have reported the bug to QGIS issue tracking. For now, I upgraded to nightly build of qgis by changing sources.list as:
deb http://qgis.org/debian-nightly wheezy main
deb-src http://qgis.org/debian-nightly wheezy main
Then followed the steps of installation heading as described above and successfully install all three packages, i.e, qgis, python-qgis and qgis-plugin-grass. QGIS 1.90 – Master was installed successfully.

A static load is time independent. It’s value is constant w.r.t time.
A dynamic load is time dependent and for which inertial effects cannot be ignored.
A quasi-static/pseudo-static load is time dependent but is “slow” enough such that inertial effects can be ignored. Note that a load quasi-static for a given structure (made of some material) may not be quasi-static for another structure (made of a different material).
In pseudo-dynamic loading, inertia and damping properties are simulated while stiffness properties are acquired from the structure.
LaTeX is a high-quality typesetting system; it includes features designed for the production of technical and scientific documentation. LaTeX is the de facto standard for the communication and publication of scientific documents. One of great benefit of LaTeX is that it can be converted easily to postscript, pdf or html. There is excellent collection documentation and books on LaTeX website which can be helpful to get started with LaTeX.
Following packages are required to work with LaTeX in Debian:
Following is a simple getting started tex file that should be save with name of hello.tex using emacs or gedit.
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
A textbf{bold textit{Hello LaTeX}} to start!
end{document}
Above file can be compile either directly from emacs or from terminal by following command:
$ pdflatex hello.tex
The result will be a pdf file with following writing:
A bold Hello LaTeX to start!
You can write your entire technical report, thesis or CV in LaTeX. You can also use Beamer class (latet-beamer) to create Powerpoint like presentation in LaTeX.
Libre documents can be converted to LaTeX using w2l command from terminal. This feature will requires installation of libreoffice-writer2latex and writer2latex.
$ apt-get install libreoffice-writer2latex writer2latex
Then executing w2l will convert odt to LaTeX file.
$ w2l your-document.odt
tex4ht package is required for this conversion:
$ apt-get install tex4ht
To convert document, use oolatex command:
$ /usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex your-file.tex
Another package for LaTeX to odt is pandoc. To install use:
$ apt-get install pandoc
To convert, LaTeX to odt, use:
$ pandoc your-file.tex -o your-file.odt
pandoc can be used to convert tex to other formats.
Both conversion are not giving ditto copy of original tex file. But they are helpful to get required file which need further editing to make it same as original tex file.
