New Businessmen Forum 2010

At very late Friday evening, 16.apr. 2010, event called "New Businessmen forum 2010" was held on Sapņu fabrika . The idea for this forum was originally made by Normunds Teteris. He thought that successful businessman could present their businesses for interested audience. Presenters would tell how their businesses started and developed over last few years. And all this could be done in Pecha Kucha like presentation style.
Pecha Kucha Night events consist of around a dozen presentations, each presenter having 20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds. Each presenter has just 6 minutes 40 seconds to explain their ideas before the next presenter takes the stage. (wikipedia)

So yea. I was there, and although overall impression was not bad, some of presentations looked more like a free advertisement for their businesses. Well, not actually *FREE*, because an audience has to pay a little entrance fee.

What does http-equiv stands for?

Many web developers uses meta http-equiv tag, without solid understanding what does it means. http-equiv stands for: hypertext transfer protocol equivalent and is equivalent to HTTP response header. So putting: <http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <META http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> in HTML as meta TAG has the same effect as declaring HTTP response header Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 That is why they are called ‘equivalent’. It is recommended to use HTTP header over HTML http-equiv meta tags. Multiple headers with the same name may be present only if the values may be concatenated.

How many water molecules are there in the glass of water?

How many water molecules are in a glass of water? This glass is filled with 200 ml water. That is 0,2 l of water. First, to get started, we need to convert volume to mass. Since 1l water equals 1kg water, then our 200 ml glass is filled with 0.2 kg water. In school chemistry probably in 8th grade there was a term Mole. Mole is a unit and it measures number of molecules. One mole has 6.0221415×10 23 molecules in it. And another term is molar mass. The molar mass of an element is the atomic weight in grams per mole. In other words molar mass states - how much does one mole of particular substance weight. The molar mass for distilled water is 18 g/mol or converting to kg, it is 0,018 kg / mol. So, now lets do some calculations. First, let's calculate - how many moles of water there are in the glass. Moles = mass / molar mass = 0,2 kg / (0,018 kg/mol) = 11.11 moles And then, let's calculate how many molecules there are in the 11.11 moles Number of molecules = number of mols * m
