Last days some users complains about Rapidshare and I want to clarify some facts.
Basically Rapidshare is not different from other sharing services, it is only the bigger. Almost every sharing service offer a free and a premium service and for free always the download and the upload rate are lower, other limitations included.
RapidShare is a German-owned one-click hosting pay- and free-service (with certain restrictions and limitations) website that operates from Switzerland and is financed by the subscriptions of paying users.
Upon uploading, the user is supplied with a unique download URL which enables anyone, with whom the uploader shares it, to download the file. No user is allowed to search the server for content; all files have to be downloaded by following a given URL.
Premium accounts last for a certain number of days. Every premium account is limited to a maximum of 150 GB download traffic per month, divided equally over every day of the month. If there are 30 days in a month, then the user will receive 5 GB per day. The user is allowed to "save" traffic up to a maximum of 25 GB and can then spend the saved traffic all at once.
As of May 2009, the downloads limit has been established for Premium Members at 5 gigabyte per day. The unused volume is automatically rolled over to the following day, up to a maximum limit of 25 gigabytes. If the complete download capacity is used up during one day, the premium-user is able to download another 5 gigabytes the following day (or after midnight CET).
Every one can upload to Rapidshare but from a free account others (including a premium account owner) can download the file ten times only. After a period of inactivity (no one download the file) the file is deleted.
For a Premium account is no limit how many times the file is downloaded but for free user the waiting time and the low rate limitations slow down the download.
The advantages of Premium account:
No waiting time before downloading
Maximum download speeds
Up- and download up to 2GB sized files
See all features
Unlimited personal webspace
Unlimited maximum storage time of your files
Unlimited number of maximum parallel downloads
Privileged care on network congestions
Support of download accelerators
Resume aborted downloads

Building materials are experiencing degradation phenomena due to the long-term action of the atmospheric components. The understanding of the transport characteristics in concrete is a key issue to mitigate the deleterious consequences.
Conventional cement-based materials suffer from a lack of ductility. However, modern cement compositions, fiber materials and additions allow to engineer new products adjusted to the purpose.
These and several key topics for modern civil engineering are discussed in this book.

How to get screenshot of your screen/ desktop/ or window(s) that is currently shown on your screen?
1.
When you want to capture desired screen, press the button on your keyborad that reads PrtScn/SysRq (in upper right corner of your keyboard) in that way your picture is stored in RAM (Random Access Memory).
2.
Open program Paint (we all have it at least Paint instaled on our Windows) or some other program like Paint.
3.
Press right mouse button (RMB) on empty space in Paint and then press Paste or simply when your Paint is open press two buttons on your keyboard CTRL+V - now you have picture of your screen that you can save in .jpg or .bmp (or any other Paint-supported format).. Enjoy!
This book is intended as a handbook for project management practitioners. The aim is to give an introduction to, and overview of, the essential knowledge required for managing projects. A team of experienced practitioners have been selected to introduce the reader to the knowledge and skills required to manage projects. There are four parts:
* Projects: describing the context of projects in organizations, and their nature
* Performance: describing how to manage the delivery of the project, covering scope, quality, cost, time, resources, risk, etc
* Process: describing the project management life-cycle and each stage of it
* People: describing how to manage the people working on projects.

Sculptural Bridge in Abu Dhabi
Is it the Tivoli Gardens' latest roller-coaster, a sculpture, sand dunes in the Arabian desert or the design for a new bridge? The Sheikh Zayed Bridge in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, is a project of unusually challenging proportions
Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid – renowned for pushing the limits of architectural design - is the woman behind the Sheikh Zayed Bridge in Abu Dhabi. Some of her best-known projects are the mind zone for the Millennium Dome in London's Greenwich area in 1999 and a ski-jump in Innsbruck, Austria in 2001. And she will undoubtedly make her mark again with her design for the extension to Denmark's Ordrupgaard Museum in northern Zealand.
An unusual bridge
Her special architectural design for the bridge in Abu Dhabi makes for a challenging assignment and certainly one of COWI's more unusual bridge projects. The bridge that will link Abu Dhabi Island with the mainland, including Dubai and the international airport, is shaped like a gigantic sculpture snaking between the lanes of traffic and features extreme proportions in concrete and steel.
"It is certainly not a standard bridge design," explains COWI project manager Henrik Andersen. "The advanced geometry of the steel arches and the solid concrete piers made it necessary to develop a highly detailed computer model of the bridge in order to determine its behaviour."
COWI has been hired by the Works Department in Abu Dhabi to independently check that the design of the bridge fulfils the design requirements. To this end, the bridge engineers have used the Integrated Bridge Design and Analysis System (IBDAS) program developed by COWI.
COWI uses IBDAS in all major bridge design projects, including Denmark's Great Belt and Øresund bridges and the Stonecutters Bridge in Hong Kong. Unique to this program is that 3D analysis models can be developed based on detailed geometric models of the bridge – including arches and girders.
In addition, the program features a wide range of analysis procedures for verification of the effects of e.g. earthquakes, strong winds, ship collisions and heavy traffic crossing the bridge.
Adds Henrik Andersen: "When it comes to bridge design, IBDAS is probably the leading software in the world – and one of the reasons why this project was awarded to us. On the computer we can build the bridge more or less as we expect it to look in reality. It is a very effective tool."
FAKTA
The Sheikh Zayed Bridge
The Sheikh Zayed Bridge will be the third bridge to the island on which Abu Dhabi is situated. The highway bridge will have four lanes, an emergency lane and a pedestrian walkway in each direction.
The bridge is about 68 metres in width and 842 metres in length, with a central steel arch span of 234 metres. The central pier alone contains enough concrete to cover a football pitch to a height of five metres. The steel arch cross-sections are up to 6 x 8 metres. The bridge is due for completion in 2006.
Zaha Hadid
53-year-old Zaha Hadid is an architect with an individuality that attracts attention. Startlingly designed rooms and surprising angles characterise her designs. Examples of her work have been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennial, and she has received numerous awards and won competitions around the world. In May 2004 she became the first woman to win the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize.
Zaha Hadid's projects cover a wide field. At present she is working on a ferry terminal for the Italian city of Salerno, a plaza in Barcelona, the Guangzhou Opera House in China and an extension to the Price Tower arts centre in Bartlesville, USA. She is based in London.

Practising engineers on site, in the design office or in client organizations will find this book an excellent introduction to the design and construction of sprayed concrete lined (SCL) tunnels. The complex behaviour of the early age behaviour of the sprayed concrete requires careful management. This book covers all aspects of SCL tunnelling - from the constituents of sprayed concrete to detailed design and management during construction. Although there is a close interdependence between all the facets of sprayed concrete, few engineers have the right breadth of experience and expertise, and this urgently needs to be transferred to the wider engineering community. Disseminating essential information for tunnelling engineers, "Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels" is key reading for all involved in or studying the process.
