Abhishek Bachchan remembers shooting for ‘Game’, ‘Dum Maaro Dum’
Sharing another set of anecdotes as a part of his #RoadTo20 series, actor Abhishek Bachchan on Wednesday remembered working in `Game` and `Dum Maaro Dum` in the year 2011. Bachchan, who will complete 20 years in Indian cinema later this month, complemented his anecdotes with a road map of his films released in 2011.
He began sharing the stories about `Game` first in his caption as he wrote,” Year-2011#Game #DumMaaroDum Game was a very cool and slick whodunnit. A genre I`ve always wanted to do being a big fan of Poirot.”
Bachchan remembered how `Game` gave him the opportunities to work with “wonderful actors” like Riteish Deshmukh, Kangana Ranaut, Anupam Kher, and his close friend Farhan Akhtar.
“The film gave me the opportunity to work with wonderful actors and an awesome crew helmed by Abhinay Deo and produced by my good friends @ritesh_sid and @faroutakhtar. Farhan also wrote the dialogues,” he wrote in the caption. “Never in a million years would I have dreamt that as two young kids at each others birthday parties participating in the “dance competitions” (unsuccessfully) that I would act in a film that was produced by and mouth dialogues written by Farhan; something our fathers did rather successfully, a super cast filled with talent and fun. @boman_irani, #kanganaranaut, @anupampkher, @sarahjanedias, @jimmysheirgill, @shahanagoswami, #GauharKhan such a fun crew. Such fun times shooting the film, especially when we shot in Greece and Turkey!” he added. The 44-year-old actor then shared some of his memories of shooting in Goa for Ramesh Sippy`s thriller `Dum Maaro Dum.`


Over the weekend of 8–9 April, several changes will take place to bus services near VJC. Victorians staying in the hostel (Victoria Hall), such as foreign students and scholars, will be the main ones affected, but so will anyone who needs to get to Victoria School from VJC.
These changes will affect Victorians on their return journey back to the hostel. The morning commute from VHall to VJC is unaffected.
Firstly, the bus stop along Marine Parade Road near Victoria School (VS), 93031, is being relocated. From 9 April, it will be shifted further up the road, nearer to the Kampung Siglap mosque.

This makes it further from the traffic light, and will mean that Victorians alighting at the stop will have a longer distance to walk in order to cross the road to get to the hostel. This affects students taking buses 31, 43, 47, 48, 55 (see below), 196 and 197 to return to the hostel. Update: See below.
Victorians might then have considered taking the 55 or 135, which will loop around the back of VS and stop right in front of VS (93201). However, from 9 April, bus service 55 will no longer loop around the back of VS. Instead, it will continue straight down Marine Parade Road and continue to Upper East Coast, in a route extension.
Credits: SBST & LTA (PDF link below)
This means that Victorians taking the 55 will be subject to the longer walk as mentioned above, as they will have to get off at 93031, outside the mosque.
This leaves Victorians heading to the hostel with two main choices to get back home with minimal walking — taking the 36, which stops at Siglap Link bus stop (93149) behind VS, or taking the 135 which still loops around VS, and alight outside VS (93201).
We will update if route 135 gets amended; we suspect it might, given that the 55 and 155 which loop around VS were amended — this could be to make way for the condominium being constructed behind VS.
As said earlier, the morning commute from the hostel to VJC is unaffected in any way; Victorians can still take their usual buses from the VS bus stop to VJC. This update pertains to the journey back to VS/VHall from VJC.
Update 16/5/2017: In light of feedback and traffic conditions, from 20 May, the pedestrian crossing will be relocated. It will be nearer to the bus stop 93031, so Victorians can take the 31, 43, 47, 48, 55, 196 or 197 to VS, and will not be subjected to as long a walk any more.

Lately, I’ve been a little obsessed with the cost of food. It all started when I decided to track my spending for one month. During the month, my total expenditures were about the same, but this time I made a point of saving all my receipts. At the end of the month, I divided them into categories and compared the totals to my estimated budget per category.
But when it came time to analyze the grocery receipts, I had exceeded my budget even before I was halfway through the stack! By the last receipt, my dreams of doing a victory lap around my budget was replaced with horrified shock. I was spending hundreds of dollars more on food than I realized.
My first reaction was to go on a ramen-only diet, which I planned to eat alone in the dark, while cursing my lack of financial savvy. But after a day or two of that (okay, one meal), I decided to be rational (and a ramen-only diet is not rational). So I came up with a new battle plan: to combine extreme couponing with cheap meal ideas.
Since then, I’ve found several recipes that only include ingredients I can buy on sale or with a coupon, or both. I don’t include oddball expensive additions I won’t ever use again, and each recipe must have actual nutritional value.
Fortunately, it turns out you can eat great meals at home without blowing your budget.
Cheap Meal Ideas for Families
1. Barbecue Vegetable Quesadillas
The mixture of barbecue sauce and spices gives traditional vegetable quesadillas a new flare. The quesadillas are stuffed with cheese, vegetables, and just enough spice, and then toasted until the cheese melts and the tortillas get crispy around the edges.
Makes 4 servings. Total cost per serving: $4
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 portobello mushroom caps, diced
- 1/2 cup green bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 large tortillas
- 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack or white American cheese
Pro Tip: You can find white American cheese in the specialty cheeses section of the grocery store. White American gives the dish a more authentic Mexican flavor.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the barbecue sauce, tomato paste, vinegar, garlic powder, and chili powder.
- Heat one tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced mushrooms, carrots, and bell peppers.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for five minutes. Add the diced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally for an additional five minutes.
- When the mushrooms and onions start to brown, remove the vegetables from the pan and add them to the barbecue sauce mixture. Stir to blend all the ingredients.
- Place a tortilla on a cutting board. Spread half the cheese across the surface of the tortilla. Spread half the vegetable mixture over the cheese. Press a second tortilla on top.
- Heat one teaspoon of oil in the skillet. Add the tortillas. Cook for two minutes. Flip the tortilla over and cook for two additional minutes on the second side.
- Carefully remove the quesadilla and place it on a plate. Cut into wedges. Repeat with second tortilla. Serve warm.
2. Cajun Chicken and Andouille Jambalaya
This jambalaya blends tender rotisserie chicken and sweet sausage with spicy rice. Southerners have relied on dishes like jambalaya for years, since it can feed a small army for dirt-cheap. While traditionalists boil their own chicken, using a rotisserie cuts down on the time spent in the kitchen.
Makes 6 to 8 servings. Total cost per serving: $3.00
- 1 medium rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 pound andouille sausage
- 1 can chicken broth
- 3 cups long grain white rice, uncooked
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 1/2 cup green onions, diced
- 1/2 cup green pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 5 cups water
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons powdered garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- red pepper, to taste
- Heat two tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Slice the andouille sausage into 1/4 inch thick slices. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook for five to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the Andouille from the pan and add it to a large pot.
- Add diced onions to the skillet and cook for three to five minutes or until the onions brown. Once browned, add the onions to the large pot.
- Next, remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken, and shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the shredded chicken, diced green pepper and celery, uncooked rice, salt, powdered garlic, black pepper, hot sauce, and chicken broth to the large pot with the chicken and sausage. Then, pour in 5 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- While the jambalaya cooks, dice the green onions. Once it has cooked for 15 minutes on medium-low heat, add the green onions. Cover the pot and reduce heat to low for an additional 15 minutes.
- Finally, add red pepper to taste and serve warm.
Tip: Since salt is a matter of taste, add in small increments and taste after each addition.
3. Breaded Tilapia with Peach Salsa
Tilapia is lightly seasoned, breaded, and baked to bring out the natural flavors of the fish. After baking, a salsa made from peaches and vegetables is poured over the fillets to give them an extra kick.
Makes 2 to 3 servings. Total cost per serving: $3.50
- 1 pound tilapia fillets
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups panko crumbs
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt

- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Combine all the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Then, dredge the filets in the panko crumb mixture, coating both sides. Place the filets on the baking rack.
- Move the baking rack to the top position in the oven and bake the fillets for 20 minutes.
- Once baked, place the fillets on a plate and spoon the salsa mixture over the fillets. Serve warm.
4. Chicken Vegetable Soup
Chicken soup is a classic for a reason; its warm, hearty, and perfect for cold winter nights. Unfortunately, the stuff in the can is loaded with artificial preservatives and salt. But you can make your own homemade version of the classic for around $4 a serving.
Makes 4 servings. Total cost per serving: $4
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cups carrots, diced
- 2 cups celery, diced

- Remove the skin from the chicken and shred chicken into bite-sized pieces. Then add chicken and pasta to the pot. Once the chicken and pasta are heated through, remove from heat and add parsley. Serve warm.
5. Chicken Kabobs
Makes 4 servings. Total cost per serving: $3
- 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks

- 1 medium onion, cut into 1 inch chunks
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup honey mustard dressing

- Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and arrange chicken, fruit, and vegetables on skewers.
- Set oven to broil. Place the skewers on a baking rack and bake for 16 minutes, turning frequently.
6. Turkey and Pasta Bake
This casserole combines pasta with healthy vegetables and turkey. The addition of parmesan cheese adds more flavor, without adding many calories, which keeps this casserole healthy.
Makes 4 to 6 servings. Cost per serving: $4
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 15-ounce jar of tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cook turkey in a large skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Once turkey browns, drain and set aside.
- Mix turkey, cooked pasta, vegetables, pasta sauce, and spices into a 2-quart casserole dish. Mix well. Cover and bake for 30-minutes.
- Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve warm.
7. Spicy Fettuccine
This recipe is a spicy take on the classic chicken fettuccine alfredo. It replaces chicken with smoked sausage and adds Cajun seasoning for an extra kick.
Makes 4 to 6 servings. Cost per serving: $3
- 1 package fettuccine noodles
- 1/2 pound smoked sausage links, cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons Creole or Cajun seasoning
- 7 ounces roasted red bell peppers
- 2 medium green onions, diced
- Cook and drain pasta.
- In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat for five to eight minutes. Set aside.
- Add whipping cream, seasoning, and bell peppers to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add this pepper mixture to a large skillet over medium heat. Cover and stir occasionally until the sauce thickens. Then, slowly add in the cooked sausage.
- Pour sausage mixture over fettuccine. Mix well and serve warm.
Now that I’m combining extreme couponing with tasty, cheap meal ideas, I eat for under $10 a day. Better yet, since most recipes involve a good mix of vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains, I’m eating healthy as well. Moreover, most of these recipes make several servings, so I can freeze one or two for later, which saves me even more money!

Coupon use confuses a lot of folks. A lot of people believe that coupon use is difficult. In fact, coupons are easy to use, and they can transform your financial life. Keep reading for some great ideas you can use immediately.
Don’t hoard your coupons. Use as many as you can. Multiple coupons means saving more on more items. You can stockpile coupons on things you buy a lot. If you find 5 coupons for a cereal you eat regularly, use them all at once and store the extra cereal in the pantry.
Make sure you’re not buying something just because you have a coupon. It’s simple for people to spend more when shopping with coupons since they buy items they don’t need. Just stick to the items that were already on your list and you will save more!
Be sure to compare prices to be sure your coupon is really getting you a great deal. In some cases, the generic product will still be less costly, even after using a coupon. Never automatically assume that the coupon item is the best bargain in the store.
Use every coupon that you can. This will allow you to make more purchases of essentials while shopping. That way, you can build reserves of the things you use most often. Use your coupons all at one time, do not stagger them.
Try using your coupons when there are buy one get one free sales at your store. Not only are you able to get a free item out of the deal, but you’re also getting the first item at a fraction of the cost! Many times, you may pay less than one fourth the original price of the item.
Combine your coupons to save more. Sometimes, this might mean giving up the immediate gratification of using a coupon during your next shopping adventure. You might even have to shop at more than one store, but it can be worth it.
Always use your coupons when making a grocery list. Keep all coupons handy so you don’t forget to use them at the checkout counter. Write down the amount of each product you intend to buy.
The competitive nature of the grocery business can be used to your advantage. Many stores may be willing to accept competitor coupons. By watching for this, you are able to avoid running around to various stores to save cash. Driving around a lot will increase your fuel cost and cancel out your coupon savings.
Find out if your grocer accepts competitor coupons. This should be your first port of call to save having to wander from store to store. The best stores, along with accepting competitor coupons, offer to double up coupons as well.
Although the newspaper used to be a very popular source for discovering coupons, the best resource now is the Internet. There are many money-saving coupon opportunities online with regards to food and clothing. The key feature to this avenue is not having to clip coupons endlessly. Now they are print and go.
You do not have to use coupons right when you get them. To help you save the most amount of money, look for the items when they go on sale. Doing this will allow you to save the most amount of money. Your savings will be very great if you can manage to use your coupons wisely.
When you are at the checkout stand, make sure your coupons are scanned in correctly. Many times coupons aren’t scanned correctly at the checkout counter, and it’s either an error with the store or the coupon. Keep an eye on the cashier as he or she scans your coupons and make sure it worked right.
Always be aware of the expiration dates on coupons and use those coupons first. Coupons are good for a short periods, as a rule. Some for only a one day sale event. Others are valid for 30 days. Check your coupons each week to see if any are close to expiration. Look at what is about to expire. This lets you save the most amount of money with your coupons.
If you see an item that is going on sale in the future, take advantage of the savings through a service that specializes in clipping coupons and order several of those coupons. These services are advertised on websites and in magazines. They can save you a lot versus purchasing several copies of a newspaper.
Clip coupons for the items you use regularly. Buying products solely because you have a coupon will destroy your budget. Many coupon users who wind up buying things they don’t really need will soon abandon the entire practice. This can also assist with keeping your coupons much better organized.
Spend real time searching for coupons. When saving money by using coupons, you need to put in time and effort. If you’re serious about your couponing, schedule time for it. It shouldn’t take you more than thirty minutes per day to reap the benefits of couponing.
“Like” a business on Facebook to receive discounts that they offer throughout the day. When you like a certain brand, you are more likely to receive coupons from that company. The companies often reward their most loyal fans, and you want to make sure that you are one of them.
There is nothing wrong with searching for coupons to save some money. Don’t get into the dumpster. Just put on gloves and an old shirt, and then stand outside the dumpster to search through discarded papers to find coupons. You’ll be amazed at the number of valuable coupons that people throw away.
Make sure that you find a safe and secure spot to keep all of your coupons to find them easily. Coupons are often forgotten, so be sure yours are somewhere obvious, so you remember them.
Coupon searching shouldn’t be a time-consuming task. Looking through circulars and clipping coupons can take up a lot of time. Take time to calculate how much you’re saving per every hour you work to decide whether or not you’re just wasting time.
A great tip for anyone who uses coupons frequently is to store your coupons somewhere where you won’t forget them whenever you head out the door. Many times people forget their coupons; however, if you keep them with you, you will never be without them.
Remember that many people are trying to save money at the store, so don’t let using coupons embarrass you. The current economic climate makes the need to save money more prominent than ever. There are a lot more people trying to get the most out of each dollar. Nothing is wrong with making sure you save as much money as possible.
Organization is vital in regard to maximizing your coupons. A lot of couponers organize coupons by grocery aisle, such as soda, meats, dairy, etc. Although this may work out well for lots of people, there are other ways to organize such as by expiration date or how each store is laid out. Whichever organizational methods works in your case is fine.
First, create your grocery list, and then search online for certain coupons. If you have trouble finding any specific products, searching at other online locations may provide you with better results, but overall you will find that many stores have coupons for nearly everything you buy.
Make use of the time you have. It is not always simple to participate in couponing. Couponing is going to take some dedication, so be ready to put in the work. Try cutting coupons for thirty minutes before bed each night or reserving a portion of your lunch break to clip a few. Pick a time that fits in well with your lifestyle.
If you want to maximize your coupons, have the money available to take advantage of deals. If you have no money to invest in stocking up, you won’t be able to take full advantage of the best deals. Now, you can still pull off a little trip and save money, but you also don’t want to waste your best coupons unless you can purchase enough to save a lot.
Many people get discounts on their prescriptions through drug manufacturer’s websites. Offering these savings helps them to gain customers and it gives their company a good public profile with regard to caring about the cost of medications. Loyalty programs offer coupons or other discounts based on your purchases during a promotional period.
Purchase only what can be used before it expires. If you do not think you can use a coupon in time, or use the product, you should either give the coupon away or simply not use it.
Instead of buying expensive stacks of newspapers, try getting help from co-workers, neighbors, and friends. If you know someone who does not use coupons, ask for their Sunday paper inserts. It’s the perfect method for receiving free coupons. Don’t forget to thank people with a nice treat or a gift from time to time.
There’s no need to over spend by buying many newspapers. Find out if stores near you will give you the Sunday papers that don’t sell by Monday. Many stores throw away all extra papers on Monday morning, including the coupons. This is a waste. It is worth a shot. You may get your hands on some great coupons!
Be judicious when it comes to using your coupons. Free things are always great, but you don’t want to buy things you have no interest in. Write a shopping list before you think of coupons. This will allow you to be a little less tempted to spend money on things you don’t need.
Don’t forget to check the newspaper for coupons. There are some great deals in papers that you can’t get online. Scanning the newspaper only requires a few moments of your time, so be sure to give it the once over.
If you could, shop at places who offer doubling of coupons. A lot of grocery stores take part in this, and it helps you save even more. Sometimes the coupon items are even free with coupon doubling. Getting items free is always more fun! Coupon doubling can also make it affordable to try out new products without risking too much money on the effort.
You can use coupons to help the needy during the holiday season, or any time of year. Buying groceries and other products for needy people in your local community is affordable when you use coupons to do it.
In lieu of purchasing multiple newspaper copies yourself, ask your friends and neighbors if they use their newspaper’s coupon inserts. Those who do not use their coupon inserts will normally save the inserts for you. This way, you could get yourself coupons for free. Don’t forget to hook them up with something nice for their troubles every once in a while.
Having coupon buddies to trade coupons with is a great idea. You can trade off coupons you may not need for ones that will really be helpful to you. You could have a coupon swap once a month with your like-minded friends. It’s an excellent way to being people together, too!
You should create a folder in your Web browser that has all the different coupon sites you frequently use. Once they’re arranged nice and neat, you can easily stop by every day to check out their new deals. You’re much less likely to miss a great deal if you do this.
In recent years, many retail stores have offered registration for their promotions. This will allow you to receive discounts and coupons not available to the general public. See what’s available to you and begin saving money!
Determine the count size whenever you figure out the size that provides you with the best possible deal. For example, if you have a coupon for one dollar off a pack of toilet tissue. Take a look at how many rolls there are. Divide this number by the price in order to obtain the per-unit price. Finally, think about which option offers you the biggest discount.
Ask your family and friends if you can have their newspapers. Doubling up on coupons is a great strategy to maximize your savings. Additionally, you are saving paper that would have otherwise gone to waste. Be certain that the store you’re going to permits this.
You shouldn’t feel like coupons are something that are confusing or hard to use anymore. Never be afraid or scared to clip coupons. Use the tips in this article to help you save money. Start saving today!
The websites for your favorite grocery stores often contain excellent coupons. Store coupons are often stackable with manufacturers coupons. Check the grocery store coupon caddies to find out more about it. Frequently, when you scan your store card through a card reader, it will give you coupons on the things that you normally buy.

3.e. Motor Options
The Motor tab of the Jrk Configuration Utility
The Motor tab of the jrk configuration utility controls the PWM signal applied to the motor, including all limits that are applied when converting duty cycle target to duty cycle.
The jrk’s PWM duty cycle has a range of -600 to 600, where -600 is full reverse and 600 is full forward. “Forward” and “reverse” should be consistent with the scaled feedback values, so that when the duty cycle is positive, the motor spins in a direction that increases the scaled feedback. By default, full forward (+600) means motor output A = VIN and B = 0 V, while full reverse (-600) means A = 0 V and B = VIN. When checked, the Invert motor direction option switches these definitions so that full forward (+600) means A = 0 V and B = VIN, while full reverse (-600) means A = VIN and B = 0 V.
Detect motor direction
To automatically detect whether the motor is inverted or not, click “Detect Motor Direction”. This will attempt to drive the motor with a gradually increasing duty cycle until it starts to move, as measured by the feedback. Make sure to configure feedback correctly before clicking this button, or the results will be meaningless. It is also recommended to set up low maximum duty cycles and currents, and set the Motor drive error, Feedback disconnect, and Max. current exceeded errors to be “Enabled and latched”, so that any potentially damaging conditions encountered during this test will cause the jrk to turn off the motor.
The jrk is capable of both 20 kHz and 5 kHz PWM. The 20 kHz PWM frequency is ultrasonic and can thus eliminate audible PWM-induced motor humming, which makes this frequency desirable for typical applications.
However, a higher PWM frequency means greater power loss due to switching, which could make a 5 kHz PWM frequency a better choice for certain applications.
Additionally, the 5 kHz PWM frequency allows for finer control at duty cycles approaching 0% or 100% (±600). This is because the timing characteristics of the jrk motor drivers make it so that very short PWM pulses (either low or high) have no effect on the output voltage. This limitation is more pronounced on the jrk 21v3, in which pulses that are shorter than approximately 4 μs have no effect on the output voltage. Therefore, at 20 kHz, the jrk 21v3 with a duty cycle less than 8% will effectively have a duty cycle of 0% (braking), while a duty cycle greater than 92% will be the same as a duty cycle of 100% (the jrk 12v12 can typically go a bit closer to 0% and 100%). At 5 kHz, the effect is smaller by a factor of four: a duty cycle less than 2% will be the same as a duty cycle of 0% (braking) while a duty cycle greater than 98% will be the same as a duty cycle of 100%.
Various limits may be applied to the duty cycle, each of which can be configured separately for forward (positive duty cycle) and reverse (negative duty cycle) if the “Asymmetric” option is checked:
Max. duty cycle limits the duty cycle itself.
Max. acceleration limits the amount that the duty cycle can change by in a single PID period. For example, if there is an acceleration limit of 10 in both directions, and the current duty cycle is 300, then the duty cycle in the next PID period is limited to be within -10 to 310.
Max. current causes the jrk to measure the motor driver current and adjust the duty cycle as necessary to limit it the specified value. The current is reported as a number from 0 to 255 that is multiplied by the Current calibration to get a number in mA, so increasing the current calibration value will increase the measured value. For accurate current limiting, acceleration should be limited; otherwise the duty cycle will tend to oscillate when the maximum current is exceeded.
Brake duration is a feature that is most useful for large motors with high-inertia loads used with frequency feedback or speed control mode (no feedback). If this option is used, the jrk will automatically keep the motor at a duty cycle of 0 for the specified time before switching directions. The “forward” setting refers to switching from forward to reverse, and the “reverse” setting refers to switching from reverse to forward.
Max. duty cycle while feedback is out of range is an option to limit possible damage to systems by reducing the maximum duty cycle whenever the feedback value is beyond the absolute minimum and maximum values. This can be used, for example, to slowly bring a system back into its valid range of operation when it is dangerously near a limit. The Feedback disconnect error should be disabled when this option is used.
When motor is off
When the motor is off because of an error condition or an explicit Motor Off command, there are two options for the state of the motor driver: brake (A and B both connected to GND) and coast (A and B floating).
You can familiarize yourself with motor coasting and braking using nothing more than a motor. First, with your motor disconnected from anything, try rotating the output shaft and note how easily it turns. Then hold the two motor leads together and try rotating the output shaft again. You should notice significantly more turning resistance while the leads are shorted together.
The jrk 21v3 PWMs the motor outputs between driving and braking, and a duty cycle of zero is the same as braking.
The jrk 12v12 PWMs the motor outputs between driving and coasting when the duty cycle is non-zero.
As of firmware version 1.4, the behavior of the jrk 12v12 when the duty cycle is zero depends on the “When motor is off” configuration option. In previous versions, at a duty cycle of 0, the jrk 12v12 would brake the motor in one direction but let it coast in the other direction.


text: Hi, I'm Hillary Talbott, acupuncture physician and clinical herbalist coming to you from Acupuncture and Herbal Therapies. Today, we will be discussing acupressure for anxiety and nervousness. Now, all of us at one time or another have experienced anxiety say before a test or a job interview or maybe even in social situations, and some of us experience it more than others which can lead to physical symptoms. So, I'm going to show you a couple of preventative techniques to do on yourself before you enter into one of these situations that you know gives you anxiety. One point that is very helpful is ren 17. Now, the ren channel goes up the mid line of the body and ren 17 is located in between the nipples right on the sternum. It's often tender in those of us that experience any type of anxiety. This point is great if you experience chest constriction or tightness when you do get nervous or experience anxiety. So, because it's tender I tend to use light to moderate pressure just in a circular rotation here with my thumb to try and alleviate this pressure. Another really effective thing to do is while you're massaging this point is to do some nice deep belly breathing. When you belly breathe, you're going to breathe all the way into the belly expanding the abdominal muscles and as you exhale, you're going to pull the naval into the spine and make your exhale longer than your inhale and what this does is it helps discharge any negative energy or tension that you're holding prior to going to one of these events. Another great point that you can do on yourself while you're actually in these events and no one needs to know what you're doing is heart 7. Now, the heart channel is located just on the medial side of this tendon, on the lateral side of the arm in the first crease of the wrist. So, generally, and there's actually a quick succession of points here, seven, six and five and they all work for relieving palpitations and chest constriction and lowering anxiety so your finger breadth is actually enough to cover all of these points. So, if you just start at the crease of the wrist and apply a little bit of gentle pulsating pressure, again if you couple this with deep breathing you'll get even more of an effect. If anxiety and nervousness is something that plagues you daily, I encourage you to seek out a qualified acupuncture physician to help you deal with these. I'm Hilary Talbott, and that was acupressure for anxiety and nervousness.

I lived in New York City for many years and ate my share of Indian meals there. Still, the Tandoori Grill is still one of my all-time favorite Indian spots. The saag paneer and the tandoori chicken are excellent and, perhaps most importantly, consistent. I have eaten at the Tandoori Grill over a dozen times, with friends or by myself, and everyone has always expressed a similar sentiment. Samosas, naan, a bottle of King Fisher... it's all good, baby.
Pros: Clean, nice atmosphere, excellent food
Cons: A tad on the pricey side, depending on your budget

Time is running out for Dreamers — immigrant recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) — who will face deportation without an act of Congress.
On Tuesday, Rep. Mia Love joined 31 congressional colleagues to urge Speaker Paul Ryan to prioritize the passage of a legislative solution for DACA recipients before the holidays. It would apply to people who were children when they were brought illegally into the United States.
“Thousands of DACA recipients live and work in my district, contributing to their community daily,” Love said in a prepared statement. “I have no interest in separating them from what is likely the only country they know.”
Love is a co-sponsor of the Recognizing America’s Children (RAC) Act (H.R. 1468), which provides a pathway for DACA recipients to permanently remain in the country.
Also Tuesday, a group of 15, including Dreamers and their supporters, rallied at the Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building in Salt Lake City to urge U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch to enact similar legislation.
There are some 10,500 Dreamers in Utah, said organizer Talitha Nascimento. Of them, 122 are losing their legal status every day.
Tania Ruiz, 24, is a Dreamer who came to this country when she was 5 years old with her mother, father and three sisters. Her parents gave up careers in Mexico and now work at menial, low-wage jobs, she said.
“My hope for the future is for everyone to understand what we have been through,” Ruiz said. “We are people who want to work here. We came to a better place for the American dream.”
DACA allows these undocumented immigrants to go to school, hold a work permit and get a driver license. It also requires they pay taxes. It does not provide a pathway to citizenship and must be renewed every two years.
DACA will make no renewals after March 6, and Love said Congress must act quickly.
“It is crucial that we bring a reasonable solution to the House floor,” Love said, “so we can provide certainty to this Utah population that contributes to our communities and growing economy.”
There are about 800,000 DACA recipients in the United States. To be eligible, applicants must have immigrated by age 16 and lived in the U.S. since June 15, 2007. They had to be 30 or younger when the program was implemented in June 2012.
Hatch was an original sponsor of the Dream Act in 2001, which did not pass but would have allowed undocumented students to pursue an education. In October, he joined a Republican-led effort, known as the SUCCEED Act, that proposes rigorous vetting requirements for young immigrants to “earn the right to citizenship” over a 15-year period.

Despite a secret marriage, allegations of "spying," and an ongoing legal dispute over the “armed occupation and takeover” of a $40 million mansion with an additional $15 million of Alamo memorabilia hanging in the balance, friends say that Phil Collins and his on-again, off-again ex-wife Orianne Cevey could still very well get back together.
One friend of the couple told Page Six that “Orianne and Phil are the Liz and Dick of Miami,” referring to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s legendarily tempestuous relationship that led to the actors marrying and divorcing twice over the course of a decade. The source added, “Orianne always protected him. She took care of Phil when he was unwell. He has recently been a grouch, but he has been open about his health problems. His last tour was titled ‘Not dead yet’ after all. The truth is they need each other, I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up getting back together.”
After a judge urged them to work out their differences between themselves over Zoom, the contentious exes were finally able to find some common ground earlier this month. During the remote mediation, the former couple agreed that Cevey and her new husband, Thomas Bates, would vacate the mansion by “mid-January” so that it can be put on the market. But they still haven’t settled Cevey’s counterclaim that she’s owed $20 million as she alleges they had an oral agreement that the property was half hers, meaning they will once again have to face each other in court in the near future. But that didn't stop Cevey from celebrating this partial victory, treating herself to a new “little choupette”—a $200,000 Bentley Continental GT.

Well, here we have it, guys. The last big winner from our totally fun gelatin contest. And, I have to admit, in some ways, we saved the best for last.
These are Herb-Glazed Sandwiches.
They consist of an open faced sandwich smothered with a layer of lemon gelatin that has been forced-fed a bunch of herbs.
Who thinks of this stuff?
And Sara, who submitted this recipe, wonders the same thing because she writes:
I have to include this one just because my first impression was, “Did anyone ever think this was a good idea?”
Thanks for running this contest – it was fun!
No, Sara. Thank YOU for sending us this ridiculous thing that actually ended up tasting good.
- 1 2/3 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon peppercorns
- 1/2 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 3 oz. package Jell-O lemon gelatin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Dash of cayenne
- 3 Tablespoons of vinegar
- 6 to 8 open-faced sandwiches*
- Combine water, peppercorns, bay leaf and dried dill in a saucepan. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes; strain. Dissolve Jell-O, salt and cayenne in the hot liquid. Add vinegar. Chill until syrupy.
- Place sandwiches on a rack and pour syrupy gelatin over them, allowing about 1/4 cup for each large sandwich. Chill until glaze is firm.
- *Some sandwich suggestions include – Pumpernickel bread spread with mustarrd and topped with swiss cheese, sauerkraut and corned beef, buttered whole wheat bread spread with bleu cheese and topped with sliced chicked and crisp bacon.
The first thing I had to do was add savory elements to sweet gelatin. Again. Every time I do this it makes me shiver.
But making the sandwich part was nice. Local bread topped with cheese from Wisconsin!
And then lots of really crispy bacon. I wanted to make sure we didn’t have any accidental bacon sogginess.
Unfortunately, I didn’t take a video of me pouring a bunch of lemon gelatin over my perfect sandwiches. It’s a good thing too, because there was lots of swearing.
You may have seen this pic before (I posted it on Pinterest not too long ago), but I wanted to post it again because I love it so. This is Tom’s gut reaction when he sat down to his dinner that night. But really, can you blame him?
In a hilarious side note, when I posted this pic I got a comment on Pinterest from Lauren M:
The one in front of him looks like it has eggs and eggplant in it. Gag.
Well, Lauren, no eggs and no eggplant, but yes it does kinda makes you want to gag, doesn’t it? Even knowing that it tasted good, I can still feel the gagging.
Double-checking to make sure there is no American Cheese in it. So suspicious.
“Don’t laugh, but this is actually pretty good.”
Well, I am a little ashamed to admit I did laugh at him. Quite a bit. And possibly taunted him. I thought all that gelatin had gone to his brain. But then I took a bite.
From Tom’s tasting notes:
It works. The gelatin tasted really good with the meat and cheese. A nice citrus flavor with a good level of spiciness. The biggest negative was that it made my hands sticky.
From Ruth’s tasting notes:
Pretty good! If the gelatin hadn’t started out sweet it would have been really good. Surprisingly, the bread wasn’t soggy at all and the bacon was still crunchy.
The Verdict: Good!
Thanks for sending in this recipe, Sara. It was a blast!!!
Readers – if you haven’t seen the gelatin recipe you submitted yet, do not fret! We will be posting all of the recipes we tested over the next couple of months. You guys submitted some doozies, so it is going to be a great time!
ugggghhhhh, yes there is NOTHING worse than soggy bacon…..HATE it!!!!! 🙂
Yay for good sandwiches!!!
Do you and Tom take some “health breaks” so you’re not eating these insane midcentury foods all the time? I sure hope so! 🙂
Okay, it kind of makes sense that the lemon herb jello tasted good. I make an herb infused jelly every year. Last year, I made lime basil, and it is fantastic on grilled chicken. Lemon dill sounds really good, too!
I was in Italy in 1969 and loved those open faced sandwiches the “bar” cafes sell everywhere. They were simple, cheap, and delicious…coated with thin gelatin to protect them for hours in the window. They were Heaven in the morning with cafe au lait.
Anybody know what I’m talking about? They are very simple and inexpensive on white bread.
Wandered in here from a throw back post. At one time, you used to have to add sugar to the Jell-O mix, so I am guessing this recipe is from the time that you could add sugar or not. Why can’t we have that option again? To me it makes sense, because then people could choose what type of sweetener to use for their Jell-O.
What kind of cheese did you use? This sandwich looks like something I would only attemp to eat with a fork! Kudos to Tom for picking it up like a champion!
Hi Jenn! Jell-O brand flavored gelatin has always included sugar. There has never been a time when they did not. Knox gelatine, on the other hand, is plain and unflavored and does require sugar if you want it sweetened.


The staff of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) at the United States Embassy in Hanoi, in conjunction with our colleagues at the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) Hanoi office, represent the interests of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in Vietnam.
Growing agricultural trade between the United States and Vietnam has created a vital role for APHIS ensuring that new trade opportunities are realized and that existing trade between the two economies flows smoothly. The APHIS Hanoi office maintains technical working relationships with our Vietnamese counterparts to resolve Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) issues whenever they arise. This relationship contributes to maintaining the success of agricultural trade-related commercial activities between the two economies, helping ensure they thrive.
In addition, our office maintains direct contact with industry trade groups, importers and exporters in order to assist and facilitate resolution of trade-related issues as they occur at Vietnamese ports of entry.
Finally, as a principle role of APHIS is to make sure the United States and our trading partners adhere to the SPS rules set forth by the World Trade Organization (WTO), as well as the other relevant international standards-setting organizations, APHIS' role will continue to increase as the United States and Vietnam continue to expand their current trade relationships and establish new partnerships into the foreseeable future.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is a multifaceted Agency with a broad mission area that includes protecting and promoting U.S. agricultural health, regulating genetically engineered organisms, administering the Animal Welfare Act and carrying out wildlife damage management activities. These efforts support the overall mission of USDA, which is to protect and promote food, agriculture, natural resources and related issues.

There are no chips or cracks; key plating is 100%; logos are 100%, pads and corks look excellent. This clarinet plays perfectly with no noted issues. The only clue that this clarinet is not brand new is the tenon corks. They’re in perfect condition, but they don’t look like unused tenon corks. I’ll include a mint condition Protec case with outer pocket and shoulder strap. I’m happy to include a mouthpiece if you need one (be sure to let me know). Care info booklets from LeBlanc are included. I bought this instrument for fun since I’m a semi-professional player and I had never tried a LeBlanc instrument. I absolutely love it, and am only selling it because I have too many other clarinets and I can only play one at a time! A clarinet this beautiful deserves to be played. Contact me for more pictures or questions!
The Sonata retails for $2,355. It is an entry-level professional instrument and considered to be the best instrument to be offered at its price level. The Sonata is remarkable for its roundness of tone, perfect scale, playing ease and agility. Its extraordinary evenness and “non-quirky” playing characteristics make it ideal for the advanced young player or the professional who doubles but has limited time to devote to the clarinet.
Key of Bb, aged grenadilla wood, polycylindrical bore (14.60 mm/ .575"), key mechanism- 17 key, 6 ring, in-line “Jump” trill keys, conical pad cup style, 66mm cylindrical barrel, tone holes- integral /undercut, blue steel springs, double skin pads, threaded posts, nickel/silver keys.

Prostitutes, look out. One of San Jose’s downtown neighborhoods is coming for you.
A press release sent out by Councilmember Sam Liccardo’s office says that at 6:30pm tonight, community members of the Guadalupe-Washington neighborhood and Santa Maria Urban Ministry will march along South First Street in front of Biblioteca Latinoamericana, located at 921 S. First Street.
The event is reminiscent to another community march that took place decades ago, when former downtown Councilmember and Mayor Tom McEnery joined small business owners, residents and even nuns from Notre Dame High School to walk the streets and confront the city’s’ less desirable elements.
The purpose of tonight’s march is to send a similar message to pimps and prostitutes that “their illegal and egregious behavior will not be tolerated.”
“The surrounding neighborhood is being victimized by this kind of activity,” Liccardo said in the news release. “Our office and the San Jose Police Department field multiple calls every week from community members who tell us they can’t let their kids walk to the library or to the bus stop for fear of being harassed by pimps and prostitutes.”
Omar Torres, a long-time Guadalupe-Washington resident and executive director of Santa Maria Urban Ministry, said it was important to “stand up and react,” otherwise “young women and our community be further victimized.”
“We have and continue to work hard with our local schools and non-profits to keep the Guadalupe-Washington neighborhood a safe and thriving community.”
The march comes after a series of meetings with downtown stakeholders about eliminating prostitution. In late July, the city obtained a preliminary injunction against Hotel Elan, located at 1215 S. First St. The city claimed the hotel allowed “prostitution to regularly and openly take place on its property over the last four years.”
Since that time, the hotel hired security, installed cameras and a fence along the property’s perimeter. According to Liccardo’s office, the councilmember, the San Jose Police Department and the City Attorney’s Office have met with downtown motel owners along the North First Street corridor to form a Hotel and Business Watch group.
Liccardo’s office said it also plans to release proposal to convert some motels to affordable housing.

CLEVELAND (WJW) – The FOX 8 I-Group has sparked new developments in the circumstance of a male despatched to jail for not correcting up a home. Our initially report sparked a firestorm and that has led to motion.
This week, we uncovered the case of Jeffrey Ivey. Cleveland Housing Court docket Judge Mona Scott sent him to jail for 90 days for not producing repairs to a property on East Boulevard.
“I really don’t imagine the crime suits the punishment.” Ivey advised us from driving bars.
Now, Cleveland Councilman Kevin Conwell says he and community ministers are having included.
“I want the house taken care of, but he desires to be out,” Conwell said.
We’ve reported that Ivey has been requested to make repairs given that 2019. No a person life at that house and the councilman suggests neighbors have complained.
We typically see violent criminals permitted again on your streets, but this led to jail time.
Folks looking at this case have questioned how quite a few large landlords in fact get punished.
“Got to attempt to determine out if he sat in jail for 90 days, it’s heading to be tough for him to pay back to have his assets,” Councilman Conwell mentioned.
Civil rights legal professional Marcus Sidoti is also now stepping up to assist.
“We’re talking to Mr. Ivey and we prepare on having this case professional bono,” he told the I-Crew. “I recognize he’s attempting his ideal, so we hope to aid him and hope to rectify in hopes he keeps his home and can help out his relatives.”
Ivey has mentioned he struggled to make the repairs purchased by housing courtroom even even though operating a freelance task and a part-time occupation.
Cleveland Council President Blaine Griffin claims he, much too, is heading to attempt and assistance Ivey. Griffin is examining to see if there are any federal government packages that can support shell out for the property repairs.
Meanwhile, at the Cuyahoga County Corrections Middle, we puzzled how frequently housing court docket sends anyone to jail. We asked how several situations it occurred past calendar year. The county tells us the jail does not retain any documents that way, so we have submitted various requests for court records to uncover out.
Thursday, we also went seeking, yet again, for Choose Scott.
The first day we attempted to get to her, we had been told she experienced a whole working day of instances. The second day, we uncovered an empty courtroom. We ended up instructed the judge was not in the setting up.
By phone, the housing court administrator told us, “You do not barge down listed here. No one reveals up and demands just about anything.”
But now, far more and more men and women are inquiring thoughts, not just the I-Group.
We will adhere to up with what takes place future following the new attorney, council members and ministers continue on to get concerned.


Existing deep learning based facial landmark detection methods have achieved excellent performance. These methods, however, do not explicitly embed the structural dependencies among landmark points. They hence cannot preserve the geometric relationships between landmark points or generalize well to challenging conditions or unseen data. This paper proposes a method for deep structured facial landmark detection based on combining a deep Convolutional Network with a Conditional Random Field. We demonstrate its superior performance to existing state-of-the-art techniques in facial landmark detection, especially a better generalization ability on challenging datasets that include large pose and occlusion.

Still Foolin' 'Em: Where I've Been, Where I'm Going, and Where the Hell Are My Keys by Billy Crystal
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I don't have a very long commute. Still, when the misery that is American broadcast news gets to be too much, I take a break from my car radio to listen to an audio book. This is why I decided to listen to Billy Crystal's memoir/exploration of aging. And let me just say, I cannot imagine reading this book. Experiencing it as an audio book seems both obvious and mandatory. Only listening in 15 minute commute segments proved too slow. A couple of CDs in I yanked the case out of my car and gorged on 2 CDs at a time in my apartment.
Billy Crystal has been a welcome guest in my family's entertainment circle since he appeared in the sitcom Soap. We have loved his standup, his impersonations, and many of his films. When Harry Met Sally is one of my all-time favorite films and certainly my favorite romantic comedy. It was a pleasure to revisit all of these cherished memories through Billy's perspective, humor, and voice. The chapters he reads before a live audience are riveting in their hilarity.
The appeal of this memoir may come down to whether or not you are already a Billy Crystal fan. The approach he takes is inevitably an extension of his lifelong comedic style and wit. I think it is safe to say his recent Emmy Awards tribute to the late Robin Williams counts as something of a supplement, and a good sense of how this book comes across: candid, sentimental, bright. Thank you, Billy.

Central Valley edges Thomas Jefferson in WPIAL semifinals
Much like its quarterback, Central Valley showed its best in the playoffs.
Junior quarterback John George, who became the starter two weeks before the playoffs, rushed for a touchdown, threw a 56-yarder and made a well-tossed lateral for another in Friday night’s 23-13 semifinal victory over Thomas Jefferson in the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs.
After consecutive losses in the semifinals the past two years, No. 3 Central Valley (11-1) advances to Heinz Field for the first time since its 2010 championship season. A rematch with Parkway Conference rival No. 1 West Allegheny (12-0) awaits Central Valley in the WPIAL championship game next Saturday.
George, who completed 9 of 12 passes for 146 yards, threw a 56-yard touchdown to B.J. Powell in the third quarter.
“I have faith in him with anything we do,” said junior Jordan Whitehead, whose 15-yard touchdown run gave Central Valley a 7-0 lead. “(Injured teammate) Nate (Climo) is a great quarterback, but I know what (George) can do.”
George also became the starter in last year’s playoffs when Climo was sidelined with a neck injury. Climo has been out with a shoulder injury.
“Totally different team (when George plays),” Thomas Jefferson coach Bill Cherpak said. “That’s the reason they’re going on, I think. … He makes everything happen for them.”
This was the second time in four seasons that Central Valley eliminated higher-seeded Thomas Jefferson in the semifinals. In 2010, Central Valley won, 42-24, en route to winning the WPIAL title as a first-year program.
No. 2 Thomas Jefferson (11-1) was trying to reach its first championship since 2008. But the Jaguars, the highest-scoring team in Class AAA, crossed the 20-yard line of Central Valley four times but scored only twice. A missed 25-yard field goal ended one drive, and a failed fourth-and-four 10 yards from the end zone ended another.
TJ senior Chase Winovich rushed 32 times for 139 yards and a touchdown.
“Our defense won us this game,” George said. “They held a good TJ team to only 13 points. … It was a really big team effort.”
With two quick first-quarter touchdowns, Central Valley controlled the first quarter much the way Thomas Jefferson often had this season. TJ had outscored its first 11 opponents, 133-7, in the first quarter.
Central Valley built a 14-0 lead with touchdown runs by Whitehead and George, who scored on consecutive first-quarter possessions. Excellent field position aided both scores. One drive covered 15 yards in one play, a long run by Whitehead. The other touchdown drive covered 30 yards in five plays, leading to George’s 1-yard run.
A 25-yard punt return by Whitehead from the 40-yard line and a fumble by TJ quarterback Christian Breisinger provided CV with great field position. Breisinger was sacked by CV’s Connar McKay and Cedric Askerneese recovered the fumble at TJ’s 30-yard line.
“The key to the whole game was the field position in the first quarter and them getting two relatively easy scores,” Cherpak said.
With just 58 offensive yards, Central Valley held a two-touchdown lead. Thomas Jefferson’s first three drives produced two punts, a fumble and just two first downs.
The Jaguars leaned heavily on Winovich, who carried on seven of their first 10 plays. His runs gained just 28 yards, but the Jaguars stuck with their Michigan-bound senior. He carried on 17 of their 24 first-half plays, including a 5-yard touchdown run with 1:57 left before halftime.
The 11-play, 58-yard touchdown drive included eight runs by Winovich. But it was the only first-half possession that reached the end zone.
Fullback Austin Boyd had a 3-yard touchdown run in the fourth.
“They knew we weren’t going to throw,” Cherpak said. “They knew we couldn’t throw.”

Aquisição dos operantes verbais de tato e de mando por deficientes mentais através de discriminações condicionais
Ribeiro, Daniela Mendonça
MetadataShow full item record
The current study had the purpose of analyzing the acquisition of selection-based tacts through conditional discriminations and the emergence of these signs as topography-based tact and as mand by four mentally retarded, hearing-able adolescents with language delay and no previous experience with signs from Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS). Experimental stimuli were divided into three sets of six elements each. Set A consisted of signs from LIBRAS, presented through video as sample stimuli, set B consisted of pictures corresponding to the signs and set C consisted of three pairs of real objects corresponding to set B pictures. First, stimulus set B objects were presented to the participants in pairs: safe box and key, bottle and opener, juice and straw. In the presence of each pair, the participant was instructed to combine the objects to reach the content. Each trial was followed by the consumption of the preferred item each pair presented. Second, conditional discriminations between stimulus sets A and B (AB) were taught through matching-to-sample tasks. Correct choices were followed by verbal praise and tokens that could be exchanged with preferred items at the end of each session. Contingent upon incorrect choices, there was a two-second interval followed by the presentation of the next trial. After reaching criterion in selection-based tact (AB relation), tests for the emergence of BA relations, topography-based tact were introduced. During these tests, elements of set B stimuli were presented as sample, followed by oral instructions expressively asking the participant to emit the proper corresponding signs. Response set A was the set of signs from LIBRAS emitted by the participants. Contingencies for correct and incorrect responses were the same as in training. After that, a test for emergence of the verbal operant mand was introduced. Objects from set C were presented alone, one from each of the pairs presented in the first phase, and the participant was required to sign which was the missing object. Correct signs were followed by the object and the consumption of the preferred item. Results varied across participants. The three participants who completed the study met criterion in AB relations referring to selectionbased tact, however, for two of these participants, protracted training was necessary. Moreover they showed the emergence of at least one sign during BA relations. Conditional discriminations training through matching-to-sample tasks yielded promising results. However, some relevant variables still require greater experimental control. These variables are related to the instructions, the schedule of reinforcement and the criterion in experimental conditions. Only one participant was presented to the test for the emergence of mand verbal operant and presented positive results. This suggests that the manipulation of motivating operations can facilitate the emission of mand responses without direct training. Although data about the emergence of new behaviors seem optimistic greater generalization of results has to be obtained. Moreover, it is necessary to continue the investigation of the conditions under which the emergence of new behaviors occur.

PRETORIA (AssPress) - Prime Minister Tony Blair wrapped up a farewell tour of picking up presents and kick backs in Africa on Friday with a call for fellow G8 leaders to "step up to the plate" an Americanism relating to the American game of baseball.
Baseball isn't played in England due to cricket, people in Africa watch a lot of American TV shows and Mr Blair's advisers thought it would make him sound young and hip.
A spokesman for the entire African continent said "actually we feel a bit offended, like he was patronising us or something, he is a bit of a git in my book"
The premier, who stands down on June 27 after more than a decade in Downing Street and various luxury hot spots on someone else's purse, said that while there was much the international community could do, it isn't and it should try harder.
A spokesperson for the international community said "Mr Blair should shut his gob and get on with retiring already"

If you’re a sci fi fan, you may well be vaguely miffed about the fact we’re not living on the moon RIGHT NOW.
But never fear, scientists are already planning out where we’ll build the first cities up there.
A team from Purdue University in the U.S. assessed lava tubes under the surface – and found they’d make a pretty good new home.
The tubes (thought to lie under the lunar surface) would protect human settlers from cosmic radiation and asteroids.
Human settlers could then fit them out with the usual accoutrements of space colonies, such as camp robot servants and unusual looking railways.
Purdue University researcher David Blair told the BBC, ‘It’s the first modern re-assessment of how stable these can be.
‘We found that if lunar lava tubes existed with a strong arched shape like those on Earth, they would be stable at sizes up to 5,000 metres, or several miles wide, on the Moon.
‘This wouldn’t be possible on Earth, but gravity is much lower on the Moon and lunar rock doesn’t have to withstand the same weathering and erosion. In theory, huge lava tubes – big enough to easily house a city – could be structurally sound on the Moon.’

Losing a tooth, or several of them, can often seem like the worst thing that can happen to your oral health. In many ways, it’s one of the most severe consequences of several different underlying oral health concerns, such as tooth infection and gum disease. However, it isn’t necessarily the end of the troubles that such conditions can cause. On top of the underlying concern, the loss of one or several of your natural teeth can also lead to multiple other concerns with your remaining healthy teeth, as well as your other oral health tissues and structures.
Severe tooth misalignment
To successfully absorb your bite pressure and ensure your bite functions properly, your teeth must be aligned correctly. This means all of them meet their opposites evenly when you bite and chew, enabling your jaw joints and muscles to move simultaneously and apply evenly distributed bite pressure. If you lose one or more teeth, this alignment can be severely impacted, and your bite’s overall function can be disrupted. This also means the balance of your bite will be impacted, and several or all of your remaining healthy teeth can be exposed to undue amounts of pressure when you bite and chew.
Tooth decay and gum disease
Tooth decay and gum disease are different in many ways, including the fact that they affect different areas of your oral health. However, the erosion of your tooth structure and of your periodontal tissues can both lead to several serious complications with your oral health, including tooth loss. After losing a tooth, however, your risks of developing these issues will be higher. Both tooth decay and gum disease develop when oral bacteria overwhelm your tooth structure or gum tissues (respectively). When one or more teeth are lost, preventing this buildup with regular dental hygiene practices can be much more difficult.
Bite and/or jaw dysfunctions
Certain bite dysfunctions, such as constant teeth-grinding (bruxism) or TMJ disorder, can often develop as a result of imbalanced bite pressure, or other issues with your bite’s function. When that function is affected by the loss of one or more teeth, your risks of developing a condition like bruxism or TMJ disorder can also become higher due to the imbalance the loss can create. In many cases, the most effective way to prevent these and other problems is to replace your lost teeth and restore your bite’s balance as soon as possible.
Prevent further problems caused by tooth loss
Tooth loss is a big enough problem by itself, but if it isn’t addressed properly, it could lead to several additional problems for your teeth and oral health. To learn more, schedule a free consultation by calling The Dental Implant Place in Ft. Worth, TX, today at 817-560-0414.

New Orleans officer arrested, suspended for DWI
NEW ORLEANS - A New Orleans police officer has been placed on emergency suspension without pay after a weekend arrest for driving while intoxicated.
The department, in a news release Tuesday, said 26-year-old Officer David Aranda was placed on emergency suspension pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
Authorities say Causeway Police Department officers noticed Aranda driving erratically in his personal vehicle about 9 p.m. Saturday while heading northbound on the Causeway Bridge. Police stopped him and administered a field sobriety test after detecting alcohol on Aranda's breath.
Authorities say Aranda failed the test and was booked with DWI. It was not immediately known if Aranda remained jailed or had an attorney.
Aranda is a five-year veteran of the New Orleans police force and was most recently assigned to the city's First District.

- Grain yields of most canola varieties at Salmon Gums started to plateau at ~20 plants per square metre (plants/m2).
- Taking into account the costs of increasing plant density we calculated the economic optimum for higher cost seed types such as Roundup Ready (RR) and hybrid Triazine Tolerant (TT) to be 25 plants/m2 or less.
- Hyola 404RR had the flattest response indicating its yields were less affected by lower plant densities.
Canola is now being grown in low rainfall areas. Primarily growers choose open-pollinated TT varieties. However breeding companies are favouring the development of hybrids in order to pay for breeding services. Hybrids provide growers with more vigorous seedlings, comparatively better plant establishment and generally higher yields. However growers have to purchase new seed of hybrid varieties every year in order to get these potential yield benefits. Seed for hybrid canola is 25 times more expensive than the seed of open-pollinated canola. Inevitably if growers decide to use hybrids they may wish to minimise seed costs by sowing at low densities.
To investigate the plant density response to yield and oil content of TT and RR hybrid canola in comparison with open-pollinated canola.
