5 Agencies Contend for New Computer Data Storage Device
NEW YORK – Sony Electronics is conducting a review to find an agency to handle the $20 million fall launch of HiFD, a computer data storage product sources said.
John Heenan, director of advertising for the Park Ridge, N.J., company, confirmed that two of Sony’s roster agencies – Winkler Advertising, San Francisco; and The Harrington Group, Morristown, N.J. – are contending for a brand sources said was HiFD. Also pitching, sources said, are Sony’s lead shop, Lowe & Partners/SMS in New York, with the assistance of The Martin Agency in Richmond, Va., and Suissa Miller Advertising in Los Angeles. Agency executives did not return calls by press time.
Martin and Suissa are the only nonroster agencies in the pitch. Harrington currently handles packaging and collateral tasks for HiFD.
HiFD is a computer disk compatible with a regular floppy disk drive. It has a storage capacity of 200 megabytes; regular disks can store only 1.4 MB.
The portable data storage market is led by Iomega’s Zip disk, which has a 100 MB capacity and has to be used in a special drive. Imation’s SuperDisk has similar features to the HiFD but carries only 120 MB.
Sony wants to target its new product at consumers, information systems managers and computer manufacturers, Heenan said.
The product has been developed jointly by two of Sony’s divisions: the Computer Components and Peripherals Group in San Jose, Calif.
(handled by Winkler); and the Recording Media and Energy Group in Oradell, N.J. (handled by Harrington). CCPG develops computer hardware products; RMEG develops floppy disks, software, batteries, recording equipment and computer peripherals.
“We’re looking at this as a project only,” Heenan said. “The current incumbents will continue to support their respective divisions.” The project includes all creative and media responsibilities. Heenan, who is heading the review, said he expects an agency to be selected by the end of the month.

Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Orlando Johnson scored a game-high 15 points as UC Santa Barbara posted a 72-52 win over Pacific in the quarterfinals of the Big West Conference Tournament at the Honda Center.

A document in university ritualsJournal: Naddniprianska Ukraina: historical processes, events, personalities (Vol.1, No. 13)
Publication Date: 2015-09-29
Authors : Rachkov Ye. S.;
Page : 143-150
Keywords : Document; University; Symbol; Rite of passage;
Using the comparative and semiotical (structuralistic) approaches, the article investigates a use of various documents in rituals of East-European universities. The research of formation and further development of university documents also helps to answer many important questions. These documents are considered as an attribute of university culture and a part of complex of cultural practices and values. The study attempts to research an evolution of «new» university symbols dating from the times of Ukraine's independence and influence on it of university traditions of pre-Soviet and Soviet periods. The research of university documents allows to treat the university environment not only as a social institution, but also as a cultural community whose existence is conditioned by certain rituals and symbols connected with these rituals. The paper considers a connection between peculiarities of formation and functioning of university documents in East-European universities during the 19th – early 21st century and modern state of the university idea in Ukraine. The semiotic content of university documents is considered as one of the manifestations and indicators of corporate consciousness and university identity.

EFI Automotive has been developing magnetic target wheels for more than 20 years and has filed 15 magnetization patents.
It is an alternative to mechanical target wheels, removing the need for the rare-earth magnets in these sensors by replacing them with an elasto-ferrite magnetic strip.
It triggers the events that tell the system the position of the tree on which it is mounted (crankshaft, camshaft, drive shaft, etc.)
It offers the advantage of a perfectly circular design and thus avoids splashes in oil or even whistling in air.
It is mechanically balanced with reduced run-out.
Where a magnetic target wheel is supplied, EFI Automotive guarantees the system’s precision performance by integrating these two components.

The one feature that tops the list is LOCATION- the easy connectivity to the nearby malls from the basement and also to the MRT is quite brilliant. That being said, I found the service quite impersonal and cold. First of all, I was very put off because the lady at the reception insisted on deducting SGD 500 from my credit card even though my entire stay had been paid for in advance. This is quite a huge amount and since they spring the condition on us only at the last minute, it almost feels like blackmail. Also she said that it would take 2-3 weeks to refund the deposit amount which is way too long. I am not sure but i got the feeling that they did not insist on a similar deposit from the lady who was checking in at the other counter, so I did get a slight whiff of racial discrimination here.
The rooms are big and spacious and well equipped, though i think there is something wrong with the structure of the bathrooms because none of us could manage to take a shower without wetting the entire bathroom (despite taking major precautions with the shower curtain). Services to the room are quite inefficient, it took at least 15 minutes to get bottled water or for someone to come and get our luggage. Also I was shocked to find a used razor (with bits of hair stuck on to it) kept in the bathroom as part of the toiletries.
The breakfast was fantastic with a huge range of cuisines. Apart from bfast, we dint have any other meals in the hotel because the malls are just a hop skip and jump away.
We did not use any of the other facilities, so cant comment on that. Overall I got the feeling that the hotel was very very full up, the lobby always looked like a train station with so many people clogging quite a limited area.
Overall, i would say, I may stay here again but only for the location.

Around 1860 house meetings were organised in various homes, until in 1867 the first stones were laid for a Methodist chapel in Deepcar, which was eventually opened in February 1868.
In 1882 the chapel was enlarged, involving the purchase of the neighbouring house, shop and land, and in 1910 the new Wesley Hall Methodist Church was built and opened, to respond to the growing congregations and Sunday school. Present members remembers the concerts presented in this hall.
Much later, after years of discussion, the decision was taken to unite the two Methodist churches in the valley, West End in Stocksbridge and Wesley in Deepcar, to form Stocksbridge Methodist Church. This union took place in 1972, using the West End premises during the modernisation of the Wesley building, to which the church moved in 1974. In 1988 the house, shop and Wesley Hall were sold as the church had no further use for them.
Early in the 21st century discussions took place between the Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church to consider uniting as now new church. United services were held monthly in the two churches, and the new church given the name “Christ Church” came into being in April 2008 in the former United Reformed Church on Manchester Road.
The old Methodist church building in Deepcar was renovated again and converted to flats in 2012 by a builder and can still be seen.
There is a book about the history of Stocksbridge Methodist Church, well illustrated with colour and black and white photos, giving a much more detailed history of Methodism in the valley. Copies are available from the church at £5 each. Please email email@example.com to get a copy.

President Obama Cancels Visit to Russia Amid NSA Leaker Tensions
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Barack Obama has canceled a visit to Moscow next month for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, an administration official told CNN on Wednesday.
The move follows Russia’s decision to grant asylum to classified leaker Edward Snowden, who had been holed up for weeks in the international transit zone of Moscow’s airport since fleeing the United States for Hong Kong and then Russia.
Obama confirmed Tuesday night that he still plans to attend a G-20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, in early September, despite calls from some lawmakers for the U.S. to boycott the gathering.
However, the White House also said it was reconsidering the “utility” of separate talks with Putin in Moscow to take place before the G-20 gathering.

Bronx, NY – Robinson Cano and DeWayne Wise each homered and drove in three runs, while Hiroki Kuroda pitched well into the eighth inning as the Yankees downed the Indians, 7-1, in the opener of a three-game series.
Nick Swisher also homered behind Kuroda (7-7), who got back to .500 thanks to surrendering just one run on five hits and two walks in seven-plus frames.
Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin (3-5) was quickly pulled after surrendering six runs on six hits and a pair of walks in just three innings.
"You could tell from the get-go he didn't have command of his pitches," Indians manager Manny Acta said of Tomlin.
The Indians did not score until Jason Kipnis' sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, and by that time they were already trailing 7-0 en route to a third straight loss.
The Yankees, coming off two straight wins over the rival Mets, scored twice in each of the first three innings Monday to take control.
With runners on the corners and one out in the first, Cano sent a gapper to right field that scored Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira.
Though Cano was thrown out trying to stretch the double into a triple, the hosts doubled their lead the next inning when Wise turned on a hanging breaking ball and sent it over the wall in right-center for a two-run homer. Eric Chavez singled ahead of the blast.
Cano went deep in the third, the sixth time he's homered in the past eight games, and Swisher immediately followed with an opposite-field shot into the first row of seats in left field for a 6-0 lead.
"We feel like we have some great arms in our locker room. If we can give them a couple of runs here and there, it's only going to up our chances," Swisher said.
Scott Barnes, recalled from Triple-A Columbus before the game, relieved Tomlin and did not give up a hit until the sixth, when Wise laced a line drive to the wall in right-center for a triple. Eric Chavez, who had reached on a walk, was running on the pitch and scored from first without a play at the plate.
Kuroda was pulled after yielding a pair of hits to start the eighth, and Clay Rapada was on the mound when Lonnie Chisenhall scored on Kipnis' sac fly.
Coming into the game, Wise had not driven in a run in 30 at-bats...The Yankees upped their Major League-high home run total to 115. They have hit at least two homers in five straight games...The Indians optioned Jeanmar Gomez to their top minor league affiliate to make room on their roster for Barnes...Shin-Soo Choo had two of Cleveland's five hits.

Description of the book "Poems That Make Grown Men Cry":"Grown men don't cry." But in this fascinating anthology, one hundred men--distinguished in literature and film, science and architecture, theater and human rights--confess to being moved to tears by poems that continue to haunt them. Representing twenty nationalities and ranging in age from their early 20s to their late 80s, the majority are public figures not prone to crying. Here they admit to breaking down when ambushed by great art, often in words as powerful as the poems themselves. Their selections include classics by visionaries such as Walt Whitman, W.H Auden, and Philip Larkin, as well as PDF contemporary works by masters including Billy Collins, Seamus Heaney, Derek Walcott, and poets who span the globe from Pablo Neruda to Rabindranath Tagore. Seventy-five percent of the selected poems were written in the twentieth century, with more than a dozen by women including Mary Oliver, Elizabeth Bishop, and Gwendolyn Brooks. Their themes range from love in its many guises, through mortality and loss, to the beauty and variety of nature. Three men have suffered the pain of losing a child; others are moved to tears by the exquisite way a poet captures, in Alexander Pope's famous phrase ePub, "what oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd. From J. J. Abrams to John le Carre, Salman Rushdie to Jonathan Franzen, Daniel Radcliffe to Nick Cave, Billy Collins to Stephen Fry, Stanley Tucci to Colin Firth, and Seamus Heaney to Christopher Hitchens, this collection delivers private insight into the souls of men whose writing, acting, and thinking are admired around the world.

Why should you try nudism? If you think about it, compared to other hobbies getting naked for fun is a pretty weird thing to do. So why are there so many weird people undressing for fun and talking about it? What could possibly motivate these people to get together with a bunch of random folks and strip down just for fun? Maybe
Naturism is often embraced by people for different reasons. Nudism can be a means of relaxation for some people. While others seek a deeper connection with nature and for others still, it is a way towards personal freedom. For Alberto going nude is all of these things as he shares with us his experience as a nudist. Nudism to me means
Nudism is on the rise. And with many of the benefits clear, it’s easy to see why. But how do you start? Is it as simple as taking off your clothes? Well, in some ways, yes, but there is a little more to it. Today, we tell you how you may make stripping off just that little bit easier. Starting your journey
The practice of nudism varies depending on the place. This does not only refer to whether it is a beach, a resort or a park, but a nation itself. Indeed, your experience of nudity in these places change a lot depending on the city or country. But luckily for us, we can get more information about these kind of topics on the internet.
One common misconception of Nudists is that they are sex addicts and perverts. In fact, one need not to go far for articles that address the issue. But what are Nudists really about? Why Do People See Nudists as Perverts? Although sex and nudism are two very different things, it’s easy to understand how and why people may confuse them. Many people

This is a critical junction in the Wild Card campaign (a call for the U.S. to recognize Palestinian statehood in the summer of 2011). Palestinians claim it will be hard for the U.S. to veto this resolution based on official U.S. statements that have already condemned settlement policy. Moreover, considering the recurring snubs this administration gets from Jerusalem, one might not be surprised if some in the West Wing could see this as a chance for some payback.
But of course, the most important aspect of the vote is the policy aspect: if the U.S. indeed refrains from vetoing the resolution, could it signal a dramatic shift in White House policy towards the peace process? Could it serve as an indication towards future voting intentions, when the Palestinians come again to the UN in the summer to be formally recognized as a state?
It would be foolish to even hope for a second that Obama has the guts to support this resolution. But Wild Card supporters should be quite content with an abstaining vote. Sitting back and doing nothing is actually the best advice one could give Obama these days.
Philip C. Wilcox of Foreign Policy thinks Obama should support the upcoming resolution on settlements:
The traditional U.S. policy of blocking the U.N. and application of international law, thus protecting Israel from its own dangerous policies of occupation, is a dysfunctional anachronism. It does no favor to Israel, whose future as a Jewish, democratic state is at risk. It contradicts the Obama administration’s own opposition to settlements, and it forfeits a useful lever in persuading Israel to change its policy. Rather than bowing to domestic political pressures, and clinging to the view that the U.N. and international law have no role to play, the U.S. should rejoin the virtual international consensus on these issues, stand up for its own declared interests, and vote for the proposed Security Council resolution.
“Not a three-month freeze on settlement construction, but rather a comprehensive plan. Not a puppet show in which Hillary Clinton hosts Tzipi Livni at the expense of Ehud Barak or Benjamin Netanyahu so they get the hint, but progress on American recognition of a Palestinian state.”
“…If Clinton wants to see the birth of a Palestinian state on her watch, her best odds lie with rallying the international community behind recognizing unilateral independence”.
After Ecuador joined other Latin American countries in recognizing a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, Industry, Trade, and Labor Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer warned thatIsrael may face harsh ramifications due to the stalled peace process.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if the US will also recognize a Palestinian state in the coming year, and then we will have to provide explanations as to how it happened.”
The Brits’ intentions are just as mysterious…
After several South American countries recognized an independent Palestinian state, Britain is now considering upgrading the Palestinian delegation in London to the status of a diplomatic mission.
The move, which would grant the Palestinian delegation with a status similar to that of an independent state, will turn the Palestinian delegates into diplomats for all intents and purposes.”
The Wild Card Campaign
Part I The Wild Card campaign starts with a bang through an op-ed in the Jerusalem Post
Part II Where French FM and President Abbas hint towards a future Palestinian state
Part III Egyptian FM joins the party
Part IV The NYTimes puts the Wild Card on the agenda
Part V The right wingers start to get nervous about unilateralism
Part VI The peace talks die, a call for Obama to think again about the Wild Card
Part VII EU sets the ground for recognition of Palestine
Part VIII AIPAC flexes its muscle – but who cares?

With all eyes focused on Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games this weekend, not many will notice Music Box Films’ quiet limited (NY, LA, Miami) launch of their 2011 Toronto Film Festival pickup The Deep Blue Sea. It’s the first narrative film in over a decade from British director Terence Davies — his last was 2000’s The House Of Mirth — and stars Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz in another Oscar-bait role. Davies did do a highly regarded 2008 documentary, Of Time And The City, in the long interim between narrative projects.
With an impressive 84% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes and major raves today from the NY and LA Times among others, Weisz and the film are winning the kind of top reviews that Oscar voters usually notice. In fact, Music Box was toying with the idea of opening the heavy relationship drama for a week in December in order to qualify for the last Oscars but finally decided it was not in the film’s best interests to rush it out there — especially with such a competitive Best Actress race already going on. Plus, Weisz had another potential awards role with the August release The Whistleblower, so it might have just confused things, though as it turned out the Samuel Goldwyn Co did not end up campaigning Whistleblower in any significant way. A March opening for Deep Blue Sea is a tough time for releasing Oscar contenders and hoping they will be remembered. Nevertheless Weisz’s emotionally naked performance as a 1950’s-era woman caught in an unsatisfying marriage and embarking on a torrid affair with a younger man (played by War Horse’s Tom Hiddleston) is the kind of thing actors crave, and it’s certainly one of the few female roles of any real substance to surface at this early point in the year.

David looked troubled as I walked into the examining room. He had sparkling blue eyes, blond hair and a 1.9-metre frame that weighed in at 96 kilograms. I had had the privilege of helping him lower his risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
His family had a history of heart attacks at an early age, and David had struggled with high blood pressure since he was 22. He had made important changes and great progress in caring for his body during the past eight years. I was proud of him. Originally on five medications for hypertension, he was now on two. He exercised six days a week and ate well.
However, he told me that his health insurance would not cover one of his medications, and this was adding $104 a month to his already tight budget. To make matters worse, the chaotic economy was forcing David’s employer to look for ways to cut expenses and his job was in jeopardy.
“Doc,” he said, “is there another treatment that can lower my blood pressure so I don’t have to purchase this expensive medication?”
I’m a physician. I practise medicine. I appreciate the contribution that modern medicine can make in the treatment of acute health problems. If I had a heart attack, I would want a stent. If my heart was beating too slowly, I would want a pacemaker. If I had severe blood loss, I would want a transfusion. If I had appendicitis, I would want a good surgeon.
However, David had a chronic illness and for that he needed to treat what was stressing his system. I explained that he could get by with less medication if he changed his body’s chemistry in other ways. I assured him that, while there’s a place for modern medicine, he could very likely dispense with the expensive medication by following the “owner’s manual” prepared by the One who designed his body. So I gave David three biblical “prescriptions.”
People who own dogs and cats have fewer heart attacks, strokes and infections. They also experience better results with cancer treatments. My dogs, Max and Daphne, help me relax at the end of a long day. No matter where I go, Max and Daphne follow. They want to be with me. When I get up in the morning, they are excited to see me. They give me unconditional love. It isn’t about the barking, the yelping or the licking. It’s their love that changes the chemistry.
Jesus told us to “love the Lord your God with all your heart . . . [and] your neighbour as yourself” (Matthew 22:37, 39).
Love in the heart improves the chemistry in the body. Love helps the body to make less of the stress chemicals, epinephrine and cortisol, and more of the beneficial chemicals, especially endorphins. Love also helps to reduce the inflammation that causes cardiovascular disease. All this enables the body to be stronger and fight disease better.
We were designed to love each other. Without love, stress increases, leading to the production of damaging substances. Statistics show that when a spouse dies, the remaining spouse is more likely to suffer health problems. Why? The loss of a loved one causes stress. Constant stress, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, ultimately causes damage to the body.
Love is putting the interests of others above your own. The world emphasises selfishness—materialism (I want more), sensualism (if it feels good, do it) and egotism (I am all important).
To destroy the world’s health, simply remove love. Have people focus on their own interests instead of the needs of others. This “me first” mentality goes against the body’s owner’s manual, creating bad body chemistry.
Thus, my first biblical prescription for David was to add more love to his life.
Being too busy can also take us away from love, away from God. We were originally designed to be with God, the Source of love. Making time for God will lead to healing. This brings us closer to the original plan. That’s why my next prescription for David was rest.
The person who breaks an arm doesn’t keep on throwing a ball. Hopefully, the person who is nauseated won’t stuff food into his mouth. The human body needs rest. Violating this natural law places stress on the body.
Imagine a person lost in the desert with no water, no food, tired and trying desperately to find a way back to civilisation. His body would create the stress hormones it needed in order to survive. Chemicals would help to keep his blood pressure up, retain water and maintain energy. This process is exactly what he needs in that emergency. But maintained over a longer period, these chemicals will damage his body. And that’s precisely what happens to people who don’t get enough rest.
Rest allows our bodies to renew their tissues. Even our brain needs rest. Unfortunately, the fast pace of our modern world is causing many of us to get less rest. It’s no wonder that our health suffers and we need more doctor visits and more medications.
We are also designed to rest at night. Centuries ago, it was customary to work during the day and rest at i. Today’s subtle misconception is that we must work as much as possible, be continually connected to the mobile phone, schedule nonstop social- and sport-related obligations, watch television or surf the internet into the wee hours—the list goes on. There is even a tendency to stay busy doing “good.”
The bottom line is that when we cross the “too busy” threshold, our bodies cannot rest and repair tissue as they were designed to.
Resting at night means avoiding late-night meals, switching off the TV, setting aside work, shutting down the internet and going to bed!
The Bible teaches us to work six days and rest one. In case we forget this principle, the Bible emphasises it by embedding it in the heart of the Ten Commandments, telling us to “remember the Sabbath day” (Exodus 20:8, italics added). How many people take the time for a weekly rest? How many even think rest is essential for their health and a way to avoid and treat disease?
Matthew 11:28 explains another way to rest: “Come to me,” Jesus said, “and I will give you rest.” God designed us to make Him a component of our rest. There’s evidence to back up this conclusion. Studies have shown that those who engage in worship have fewer health problems. By coming to the Source of love, we obtain a free gift, a way to improve our chemistry.
My patient David needed to stop. He needed to rest. Thus, my second prescription for him was to add more rest to his life.
My third prescription is from the biblical book of Proverbs: “A cheerful heart is good medicine” (Proverbs 17:22). God created us to be happy and have joy. When we are happy, our bodies release more endorphins, helping to balance the stress chemicals. Around the world, people are even joining laughing clubs to improve their health.
We are not only designed to be joyful but also to share this joy. One person can be a “prescription” to another with a smile, a warm greeting or a hug. This treatment has no negative side effects and it’s cheap!
Everyone enjoys a good clean joke. So try collecting the best ones that come your way and sharing them with your family and around your workplace. It’s fun and the laughter the jokes produce will improve both your health and theirs!
There are other ways to bring joy into your life. Do you like to read? Check out a good book at your local library, find a comfortable place to relax and enjoy a pleasant hour or two with it. Visit a zoo or a museum. If you do this with family and friends, you’ll combine the joy with love.
An excellent way to add joy to your life is to do something special for someone else. Volunteer to help at the local soup kitchen. Visit a homeless shelter and help someone in need. Sign up to be a mentor to a child in a single-parent family. Something as simple as handing a five dollar note to the person on the street corner who’s out of work can bring you a moment of joy.
My third prescription for David was to find ways to have a life full of joy.
Laws are important
Sir Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity, which explains why, if one jumps off a high building, there will be dire consequences, even for the one who does not believe in the law of gravity. I explained to David that God has given universal laws that govern our bodies. If these laws are broken, even if we are not aware of them or do not believe they exist, damage will still occur, putting stress on the system.
David had three new treatments: love, rest and joy. I suggested that he add them one at a time and try boosting the dosage each day. I guaranteed that his chemistry would improve as he followed the owner’s manual more closely.
As I finished, I sensed that David understood the big picture. I’m hoping that he won’t need the expensive blood pressure medication. More than that, I hope he understands the ultimate Source for his healing.
His eyes were misty. He seemed more relaxed. The future did not seem so uncertain. He had received a nontraditional treatment plan. He was still not in full control, but we both knew Who really was in control and has been in control all along—the One who loves us and cradles us ever so closely in His arms. At the heart of health is, indeed, love.
I rechecked David’s blood pressure. It was already lower. I made an appointment to see him again in two weeks.

Leahy plans oversight hearing with Holder
CBS News has learned the Democratic Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Patrick Leahy,D-Vt., is planning to schedule an oversight hearing with Attorney General Eric Holder.
Leahy's Republican counterpart on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has been aggressively investigating the ATF "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal since early this year. So far, all hearings on the issue have been held in the House, where Republicans hold a majority.
Sen. Leahy has indicated that he believes, as a former prosecutor, the current congressional investigation must not interfere with the ongoing criminal investigations and prosecutions related to firearms trafficking in "Fast and Furious."
Leahy says, "I share the President's confidence in Attorney General Holder. He has continued to demonstrate his strong commitment to tough law enforcement, transparency and integrity."
Sen. Leahy is working to schedule an oversight hearing with Holder before the end of the year.

Last trip back
One of the men who was adapting Honey Cottage to become the smoko room for the toilers in the vineyard - being planted - said - "You can't go back."
What was he talking about?
I was back.
Me and my mate Theresa were back. For the day.
Having a look at what my place was becoming. Without me.
One last look. And then I can walk away. I can.
The big house
A charming old place. One portion built in the 1890's - one grander portion added in the 1920s.
It was empty too. The whole ecosystem of the secret valley had collapsed.
We stopped to have a look.
Miranda strolled across the lawn, looked up at the serenely beautiful mansion and said - "So this is Honey Cottage!"
I screamed with laughter. I nearly wet myself.
I said - "Miranda, if I had been living here I would have called it Honey Palace!"
So we back in the car, down the track, to what had been my little shack.
The house was empty and silent
The grass had grown.
I think my cousin Miranda was with me. I think she might have taken the photo.
She was curious. I wanted to have a look at how the place was doing without me. So we went past the old cemetery, turned in off the gravel road, across the cattle stop, and down the drive to the big house. Waiura.
Because every little workman's cottage, has (or had) a big house which is/was its reason for being.
Into the Woods
And the park they had planted round the grand old homestead had come to maturity although no one lived there any more. Oaks and elms. An avenue of poplars.
Then you would come to the site of the house.
Some stone steps leading nowhere and one out building.
I never paused because a cook had died in the first fire - she jumped from her room on the third floor - and the place always felt unhappy.
The daffodils had done ...
... just what they like to do. Colonised themselves.
Gotta have daffs in a big old English style wood.
It had been there so long that I hardly ever wondered what the country would have looked like before the Pakeha arrived.
Historic Shearing Shed
So I took Theresa on the walk over the river.
You cross the swingbridge to get to the site of the big old house that had burned down in the 1890s(?) It had been rebuilt but burned down again in the 1920s. It wasn't rebuilt. Maybe because they thought the site was unlucky. Maybe because the depression was biting and they couldn't afford to.
The shearing shed is all that is left of that grandeur.
I know I had to leave ...
... I had to leave - but honest to God.
Watching the workmen doing their visigoth thing made me feel odd.
I had owned this place.
Because no one wanted it.

A little history on Candle Carousels which are traditionally called Christmas Pyramids.
The name “Christmas Pyramid” came from Napoleon's Campaign to Egypt at the end of 18th century when he brought pictures of pyramids back to Europe and with time they reached Ore Mountains where they reminded people of their Christmas constructions and decorations. Christmas Pyramids became popular around the world after the discovery of kerosene in the 1830's because to light and to spin the pyramid became much cheaper compared to using expensive candles or rapeseed oil.
This listing is for one (1) Great Horned Owl Carousel that comes with 4 Faerie Tealites.

Lady Gaga to be The First Artist to Perform in Outer Space in 2015
Lady Gaga is reportedly planning to become the first artist to perform in outer space in early 2015.
The Born This Way singer is known for her bizarre fashion statements and outspoken views. Undoubtedly, this time again the singer has made it to the headlines after revealing her plans to become the first artist to perform in outer space in 2015.
The 27- year-old star will head to outer space aboard a Virgin Galatic ship as part of a Zero G Colony music festival, which will be held at Spaceport America, New Mexico.
"Upon reaching space she will become the first ever-recording artist to perform outside the atmosphere, in zero gravity," says PEOPLE.
Gaga plans to sing the song Entourage in tow on the third day of the concert, reports New York Daily. Her performance will be six months after the first Galactic commercial flight.
Similar to Gaga, the classical singer Sarah Brightman will also undertake a similar adventure and will be with the Russian cosmonauts for a 10-day journey to the International Space Station in October 2015, where she plans to record a song, reports the Guardian.
For this out-of-the-world performance, Gaga will undergo a month of vocal training because of the change in the atmosphere. Sources also reveal that the eccentric diva plans on packing her glam squad along with her in the shuttle.
Back in June, the teen heart throb, Justin Bieber, 19, paid $250,000 to reserve a seat on Virgin Galatic SpaceShipTwo.
In response to SpaceShipTwo founder Richard Branson's tweet that read "Great to hear @justinbieber & @scooterbraun are latest @virgingalactic future astronauts. Congrats, see you up there!" Beiber replied: "Let's shoot a music video in space!"
Apart from Gaga and Bieber, the other celebrities making their trip to space would be Angeline Jolie, Ashton Kutcher and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Let's wait and watch how Gaga tops this performance. Good Luck Gaga!!

Today’s post is by Dr Linda Samera of the NSW North Coast. A severe case of Sjogren’s Syndrome means Dr Samera has to travel to Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney every month for treatment.
The closure of the cheap and wheelchair-friendly accommodation where she used to stay has prompted Dr Samera to start a petition on GetUp. She wants to put pressure on the state government to provide country patients with affordable accommodation when they have to come to the city for treatment.
For years, she and her husband Rod stayed at Blue Gum Lodge in Sydney – ‘for country people only’. But the Lodge has closed, leaving the Sameras with nowhere to stay. Here is Linda’s story.
I have an autoimmune disease that requires me to travel more than 500km to Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital every month where I spend one week receiving medical treatment.
Dr Linda Samera – ready to travel.
Up until now, my husband and I stayed at Blue Gum Lodge, which was wheelchair-friendly, close to the hospital and allowed us to cook our own healthy and affordable meals. But Blue Gum Lodge closed on 31 January 2014. Sadly, it’s not the first time this has happened. Prince of Wales Hospital and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital have also closed their country patient accommodation in the past few years. One by one, major hospitals in NSW are closing their essential accommodation for country patients.
NSW regional and rural patients suffering from serious illnesses, like me, are often forced to spend days or months living away from home in order to receive the life-saving treatment we need. It is imperative that all major hospitals in NSW have affordable and accessible on-site or nearby patient accommodation for people travelling from the country to receive medical care.
Will you join me in calling on NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner to provide affordable and accessible hospital accommodation for country patients?
In my career as a remote area general practitioner I’ve seen patients turn down treatment because they couldn’t afford accommodation in the city. I’ve also seen families financially destroyed by huge bills resulting from long stays in the city for life-saving treatment.
All of us living in the country are vulnerable because many treatments for diseases and injuries are only available at city hospitals. The NSW government needs to make health care fair and equitable by providing affordable and accessible accommodation near to every major hospital.
The divide between the health of rural and city Australians has been well documented. But there shouldn’t be any second-class citizens when it comes to health care in NSW and no patient should have to put up with second-rate health care because they live outside a major city.
Providing accommodation that is affordable and accessible is the first step to closing that gap. Will you join me in asking NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner to provide affordable and accessible hospital accommodation for country patients? Click here to sign and share the petition. Thanks for taking action.

Oscar Pistorius' brother is now "out of danger" following a car crash on Friday night, the Associated Press reported.
Carl Pistorius was in a serious condition after a head-on collision in northern South Africa but has now been transferred to a hospital in the capital, Pretoria.
He is said to have suffered broken bones as well as a hip injury and lacerations to his liver and heart.
Carl Pistorius, Oscar's brother, faces culpable homicide charges, it has emerged. He is expected to stand trial in connection with the death of a woman in a car crash in 2010.
ITV News reporter Paul Brand reports:
Carl Pistorius appeared in court the day before his brother Oscar’sjudgement on the bail hearing last week and is due to appear again at the endof March, the Pistorius family lawyer has confirmed.
The brother of Oscar Pistorius, Carl Pistorius, made no comment about his own impending trial today, as he arrived at the family home.
Carl's trial is expected next month, it emerged today. He faces culpable homicide charges in connection with the death of a woman in a car crash in 2010.
South African news channel eNCA is reporting that Carl Pistorius, brother of Oscar Pistorius, is due to stand trial in a separate case involving the death of a female biker.


General Atomics has developed and tested the latest aircraft carrier technology to launch and land aircraft.
General Atomics launch technology uses AAG
General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) announced at the beginning of April 2016 that it had successfully completed an aircraft arrestment using its new Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) system.
The landing and arrestment of an F/A-18E Super Hornet was conducted by GA-EMS and the US Navy at the runway arrested landing site at the McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst joint base in New Jersey.
AAG is a turbo-electric system for controlled deceleration of aircraft during landing and recovery operations on naval aircraft carriers. It is installed on-board the carrier USS Gerald R Ford (CVN 78), and is scheduled to be installed on the future USS John F Kennedy (CVN 79).
Dean Key, director, launch and recovery production programs and AAG design and development, also said that “more than 1,200 successful dead load arrestments have been completed at the jet car test site in Lakehurst, New Jersey”.
General Atomics launch technology uses EMALS
The General Atomic Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), which uses electromagnetic technology to launch aircraft from the deck of naval aircraft carriers, is also installed and undergoing dead load testing on CVN 78. It is also scheduled for installation on CVN 79.
The main advantage is that this system allows for a more graded acceleration, inducing less stress on the aircraft’s airframe.
Other advantages include lower system weight, with a projected lower cost and decreased maintenance requirements. The design includes the ability to launch aircraft that are heavier or lighter than the conventional system can accommodate. In addition, the system requires far less fresh water, reducing the need for energy-intensive desalination.
The below video shows testing of the EMALS system being tested on a Gerald R. Ford-class carrier.

Which Jonas Brother Has Diabetes?
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic health conditions in the world. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 37.3 million US adults have diabetes, and 1 in 5 aren’t even aware of their condition. Lifestyle choices and dietary habits play an important role in the development of diabetes.
Both celebrities and common people can fall prey to this chronic condition. Some of the most famous celebrities, including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Sharon Stone, Anne Rice, Salma Hayek, Victor Garber, and Billie Jean King, were all diagnosed with diabetes. Even one of the Jonas Brothers has been diagnosed with diabetes too.
Which Jonas Brother Has Diabetes?
The youngest Jonas Brother, Nick Jonas, has diabetes. The American singer-songwriter has Type 1 diabetes, a rarer condition than Type 2 diabetes. He has been very vocal about his condition and has talked at length about his struggle with diabetes and what it meant to be diagnosed at an early age.
When Nick Jonas’ type 1 diabetes was diagnosed, his blood sugar was over 700 — and normal blood sugar levels are from 70 to 120.
The pop sensation first opened up about his type 1 diabetes in a candid Instagram post when he was 27 years old. He shared a selfie of himself wearing a cap with the logo of his organization, Beyond Type 1.
In the caption, Nick wrote:
“My Type 1 diabetes was diagnosed 14 years ago this month. This experience has shaped and made me rethink how should I approach my health – working out, eating healthy, and always thinking about my blood sugar and insulin needs.”, he added.
When Was Nick Jonas Diagnosed With Diabetes?
Jonas learned about his diabetes in 2005, when he was only 13 years old. Now 29, he has shared his experience about finding out about the diagnosis in different interviews. He told a major publication in an interview how he was in “really bad shape” after finding out.
“I lost about 20 pounds in 2 weeks. I couldn’t drink enough water and was going to the bathroom all the time; very irritable, which is a symptom of high blood sugar,” he added. In an earlier interview, he confessed how scared he had been back then, “I was very scared — it’s a big life change.”
The revelation about the condition came when he was touring with his brothers. Nick gave us a first-hand account of how he came to be diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in another Instagram post in 2021.
In his post marking the 16th anniversary of his diagnosis, he continued that “ After going over his symptoms, his pediatrician informed him that he was detected with Type 1 diabetes.
Crash Course About Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes, or insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, is a less common type of diabetes. According to the CDC, only 5% to 10% of people with diabetes are diagnosed with Type 1.
However, this makes Type 1 diabetes no less serious or life-threatening. Although it is more common in children, teens, and young adults, Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age whenever the pancreas fails to produce adequate insulin. It is possible that an autoimmune process is responsible for the development of Type 1 diabetes.
The autoimmune process makes the immune system of the body target its own tissues. As a result, the immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas, making them incapable of producing enough insulin.
This condition can be genetically inherited or as a consequence of exposure to viral infections and environmental toxins. Either way, individuals diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes need to follow a strict lifestyle and dietary habits.
The most common early symptoms of Type 1 diabetes include increased thirst, increased urge to use the toilet, excessive tiredness, weight loss, irritability, and increased hunger.
Nick Jonas’ Diabetes Diet
Jonas has remained committed to leading a healthy and disciplined lifestyle despite his initial uncertainties. Fortunately, he soon discovered that it’s a very manageable disease…as long as you’re really diligent.”
Priyanka Chopra is proud of her husband’s commitment to a disciplined lifestyle as well. In an interview with The View, the 39-year-old Indian actress has talked about how Nick has been taking care of his diabetes since he was so young and how crazy he is about his discipline. She added, “He knows exactly what to do when to do it.”
Nick Jonas himself has talked at length about how particular and careful he is about his fitness and diet. In an interview with Female First magazine, he shared a snippet of his diet preferences: “I live a pretty low-carb life”. He also wishes to eat pancakes all the time. That would be so much fun! When I do, it’s whole-wheat or buckwheat.”
Indeed, his healthy dietary habits and physique are evidence enough to show how dedicated Jonas is to lead and enjoy a full and happy life. However, taking extra care controlling what he eats and when he eats was not without its challenges.
In an interview with GQ, he shared his exact calorie intake as a Type 1 diabetes patient. “My meal plan came down to about 2,500 calories, and the portions got really small,” he said, talking about how he had gained massive weight.
Jonas is quite open about his personal food preferences and problem foods as well. He shared some of his problem foods in an interview with Men’s Journal and included red meat, dairy products, nightshade vegetables, olives, pomegranate, and blueberries.
Nick Jonas’s Type 1 diabetes diet plan ideally comprises an omelette with veggies and cashew cheese, turkey meat and fruit for breakfast, lean protein, nuts and veggies for lunch and dinner, and snap peas with peanut sauce for snacks.
Now You Know Which Jonas Brother Has Diabetes
Nick Jonas’s Type 1 diabetes has not held him back. He has succeeded in overcoming many of its challenges and continues to do so with the support of his fantastic family and friends. Jonas has co-founded Beyond Type 1, a non-profit organization that seeks to unite and provide solutions to the global diabetes community.

Talking about the film, Tamannaah said, “I hope the success of the film leads to better roles for actresses in general. If we give good content to the audience, they will embrace it wholeheartedly. And the success of one such film will make everyone believe in creating better stories for women and take a chance to produce more such films. I don’t know if it is going to be a gamechanger, but we have given it our best.”
The actress also praised her co-stars Kajal Aggarwal, Manjima Mohan, and Parul Yadav who have played the lead roles in the other remakes of the film, and said, “Each one of us have tried to bring our own personality to the roles we have played. It is going to be very different from the Hindi version. I am confident that it will appeal to all age groups, especially the youth.” The film is likely to release in February.

Biryani is familiar to all. Chicken biryani, mutton biryani, Hyderabadi, Mughlai, Malabari etc. But fish biryani is not common. If you look at the menu in any restaurants, It may be available in very limited restaurants. I used to try different types of fish biryanis but mainly with kingfish (Ayakkora / Surumai) or prawns. I wanted to try something different and made with Pomfret. So if you all love Pomfret, try this out!!
- Pomfret – 2 Big (clean and cut into pieces)
- Onion – 7 nos
- Tomato – 4 nos (if large,take 3 nos)
- Green chillies – 10 nos
- Ginger paste – 2 tbsp
- Garlic paste – 2 tbsp
- Red chilly powder – 3/4 tbsp
- Garam masala – 2 tsp (or Biriyani Masala)
- Curd – 3 tbsp
- Cinnamon – 2 pieces
- Cloves – 3 nos
- Lemon – 1
- Coconut oil – 1/4 cup
- Coriander leaves – 1/2 cup
- Curry leaves – 1 tbsp
- Rice – 4 cup
- Cashew, raisins – 1/2 cup
- Water – 6 cup
- Onion – 1 small + 1 big
- cinnamon,cloves – 2 each
- cardamom, pepper – 2 each
- Mint leaves – 2 tbsp
- Coconut oil – 3 tbsp + 2 tbsp
- Ghee – 2 tbsp
- Marinate pomfret with red chilli powder, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, salt, lemon juice and keep it aside for 2 hours.
- Heat oil in a pan, place pomfret in it and do medium fry. If you make it deep fry, you will not get the real taste of Pomfret and it will become hard. Remove it from oil and keep aside.
- In the same oil, saute the onions until translucent. Add ginger-garlic-green chilli paste and mix well.
- Now add cinnamon, cloves and tomato and saute for 5 minutes.
- Put curd, Garam masala, salt, coriander leaves, curry leaves, 1 tbsp mint leaves and saute again for 2-3 minutes.
- Add fried pomfret to this masala and mix well. Take care not to break the fish into pieces.
- Biriyani masala is ready and now we can prepare ghee rice.
- Clean rice and soak this in water for 1/2 hour.Strain excess water.
- Heat 3 tbsp oil in a thick bottomed pan and fry one onion, cashew, raisins till golden brown. Keep this aside for garnishing.
- Add another 2 tbsp oil and saute one onion, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, pepper.
- Add 6 cups of water and required salt.
- when it starts to boil add rice, 1 tbsp mint leaves and cook till done.
- Take a bottom thick saucepan and Spread half of the pomfret’s masala and place half of the rice over it. Sprinkle some lemon juice to prevent the rice from sticking, garam masala, coriander leaves, fried onions, cashews and raisins.
- Spread the remaining masala and top it with rice.
- Pour the ghee/oil on top of it and sprinkle some garam masala, fried onion, cashew and raisins and cover tightly.
- Cook for 5 minutes on a low flame.

A Mental Health Clinician Calls on the U.S. to Confront Aggressive Scapegoating
In the current political climate of our nation, the politics of fear and gratuitous aggressive scapegoating have become the norm.
The Task Leader in the White House has become the Scapegoater-in-chief. This affects the norms of behavior for the country at large but also affects the patients we work with in our practice.
In group therapy case studies, I have demonstrated how the fantasies of exclusion and annihilation can be awakened in my patients as well as our fellow citizens. Clinicians can be alert to the emergence of these phenomena in our treatment room – or we can deny their importance and reinforce our patients’ fantasies and feelings.I believe the ethical choice is to confront aggressive scapegoating whenever we see it.
Institutions in a democratic society are also vulnerable and susceptible to aggressive scapegoating. Once again, the Task Leader sets the norm – either inflaming the scapegoating and exclusion process or striving for inclusion and social acceptance as cardinal principles of good government.
I repeat: In the current political climate of our nation, the politics of fear and gratuitous aggressive scapegoating have become the norm. Those political leaders who explicitly call for exclusionary policies are destructive and dangerous to the body politic.
It seems clear that U.S. citizens, like members of a small group, must voice their dissent and not be silent in the presence of aggressive scapegoating. If the nominal Task Leader of our country will not act responsibly and reject wholesale scapegoating of large segments of the population, then we, the people must not be silent. We must take that responsibility into our own hands and act in the name of our national democratic and humanitarian values.

Pooner Rogaine was born June 9, 2009 and was diagnosed with HCM in June 2010 at the age of one year. He presented with a grade 6 heart murmur and regurgitation, the vet did a chest xray and his heart was already enlarged. Pooner was referred to a cardiologist that confirmed the suspected diagnosis of HCM. Pooner takes atenelol twice a day and is doing very well living with this ugly heart monster. At his last echocardiogram the intensity of the murmur had decreased and the regurgitation is less intense. The cardiologist is optimistic that Pooner Rogaine may live to be eight years old and we surely hope to have at least that many years with him.
Pooner Rogaine is a very sweet, well natured cat.
He loves heated blankets and beds as well as heat vents. In his spare time he loves to sunbathe on his window perch. He loves anything chicken flavored and is obsessed with trying to steal any food that contains pepperoni! He has proudly donated blood the the HCM research study being conducted by Dr. Meurs.

Hello hello… I wanted to share with you all the excitement that I have had for the past … couple of weeks.
“Our story is set in Wonderland. We know what’s going on with the Mad Hatter and his infamous tea parties. They are the talk of the town and Everyone wants to be on the list. No wonder why the Queen of Hearts is always angry. Sorry, was always angry.
For she has found true love at long last. The Queen is in LOVE… Together she and her groom to be are hosting a wedding party reception, her way. Her elite guest list is limited to a special few. Held at her private palace, in the gardens, it is nothing out of the ordinary for her majesty. Just feathers and fluff. Opulence. Rich satin, glitz and glam. Natural greens & mushrooms. Delectable dessert. Roses red. Her way…”
So, Alice in Wonderland, we all know the story, and we love it. We all went to see the movie, and we loved it. Many of us were inspired and thus came the creation of many WONDERFUL photo shoots. As much as I wanted, longed to create a fun, whimsical and beautiful tea party, and by the time I thought to pull together a shoot, I knew it would have been redundant, and c’mon, there’s just no competing with this lovely shoot or this one. So, I set out to do something a little different. And how awesome is GreyLikesWeddings for featuring us?! A huge thank you to Summer!
The team: I called upon Olivia Wu with Zoie Events to be my coordinator extraordinaire and she of course outdid herself. The lovely Adrienne Gunde enthusiastically photographed our shoot and I couldn’t have asked for more. And of course I asked Miss Laurie Mura of IBICAKE to make our fun whimsical and beautiful wedding cake… I LOVE THAT SHE PAINTED THE ROSES RED!!! (Did I mention we gave ourselves a matter of days to pull this together? Why, I don’t know… I seem to enjoying making things difficult! But what an incredible team, no?).
Some additional images I would like to share… Enjoy!
How gorgeous were our bride and groom?
Wedding sign (her way)

What is a lumped element? it is defined here at Microwaves as a passive device, that is reciprocal (these definitions are on our network theory page).But just as important, it must follow this rule of thumb!. To be considered a "lumped element", no feature of its structure can exceed 1/10 of a wavelength at the maximum frequency of its usage.

Scope of the Guide: "This guide is not all-inclusive of the subject of impedance measurement and the reader should understand at the outset what he can or cannot expect to find.
To help in establishing the bounds of subject matter included, consider the ideal impedance-measuring instrument as having the following the characteristics and capabilities: (1) unrestricted frequency Cited by: 8.
The output impedance parameter, Z o, is defined as the frequency dependent small signal impedance that is placed in series with an ideal amplifier and the output terminal in a closed loop value of Z o is expressed in units of ohms.
Figure is an example of defining Z o and is shown with gains of 1, 10, and For lumped parameter ladder circuits it is possible to define one more impedance that also represents an important characteristic for this type of circuit. This impedance enables us to represent the equivalent circuit of Fig.from the standpoint of the current and voltage appearing at its end by a very simple equivalent circuit shown in.
The lumped-element model (also called lumped-parameter model, or lumped-component model) simplifies the description of the behaviour of spatially distributed physical systems into a topology consisting of discrete entities that approximate the behaviour of the distributed system under certain assumptions.
It is useful in electrical systems (including electronics), mechanical multibody systems. The results of such measurements are usually only lumped parameters: casing factor and permeability-to-conductivity ratio.
In this paper, we generalize the two lumped parameters into one space-frequency dependent parameter using an analytical model based on the truncated-region method and the series expansion of the vector magnetic potential.

Left: A spiral slot antenna : The boundary selection of the uniform lumped port across a slot. Microstrip Patch Antennas.
To excite a microstrip patch antenna fed by a microstrip line to calculate the input impedance and S-parameters, as well as to compute the radiation pattern with a far-field feature, you can assign a lumped port on the gap between the end of the microstrip line.
Equivalent lumped resistance, capacitance, or inductance are common parameters in the characterization, specification, and design of electrical and electronic components.
Electric and magnetic material properties such as resistivity, permittivity, and permeability are derived from impedance and from geometrical measurements. Extracting a Lumped Output Impedance Model With SIMPLIS or SiMetrix 5 Extracting and Validating the Lumped Parameter Model To extract a lumped parameter model of the LDO output impedance, examine Figure The low-frequency impedance portion of the green magnitude curve is approximately –57 dBΩ, and is an impedance of mΩ.
Figure An electrical impedance measurement provides the parameters of the electrical equivalent circuit (e.g. dc resistance R e, resonance frequency f s, quality factors Q es, Q ms and Q ts).
Accurate modeling of the impedance at higher frequencies requires additional lumped parameters (e.g. Leach, Wright, LR2 model) describing the electrical losses. Abstract: The lumped equivalent circuit parameters and distributed parameters of a line at high frequency are a little different from those at power frequency, because of distribution effects.
The paper derives the formulas to get the lumped equivalent circuit parameters and distributed parameters from open circuit and short circuit harmonic impedance, and the actual measurement was carried.

Finally design guidelines are given in order to minimize discontinuities by matching the effective characteristic impedance of the printed circuit board via to the microstrip transmission lines.
(impedance of Ω). Matching the input impedance of the antenna to 50 Ω is a requisite to ensure that the maximum power is transferred from the RF circuity to the antenna with negligible amount being reflected back.
Standing wave ratio (SWR) is a measure that defines how well the antenna impedance is matched to the connected Tx line impedance. Please look on Z-parameter Z(1,1)) real and Imaginary.
Real value must be near to 50 ohms and Imaginary to be 0 ohms. In fact, if matching is good then you will get good S r, l, c are the per unit length parameters, and d is the line length. For a lossless line, r = 0, h = 1, and Z = Z c. For multiphase line models, modal transformation is used to convert line quantities from phase values (line currents and voltages) into modal values independent of each other.
total capacitance of a coaxial cable, measure the capacitance between the center conductor and the shield at one end of the cable while the other end is left open. The frequency of the test signal used by the LCR meter should be much less than 1/(4td) where td is the time delay of the cable. To measure the total inductance of the cable, measure the.
A two-port device has four S-parameters. The numbering convention for S-parameters is that the first number following the “S” is the port where the signal emerges, and the second number is the port where the signal is applied.
So S21 is a measure of the signal coming out port 2 relative to the RF stimulus entering port 1. Both short- and medium-length transmission lines use approximated lumped-parameter models. However, if the line is larger than km, the model must consider parameters uniformly distributed along the line.
The appropriate series impedance and shunt capacitance are found by solving the. The Impedance Task (IMP) identifies the lumped parameters of the equivalent circuit of the transducer, including Thiele/Small, creep and lossy inductance parameters.
It complies with IEC standards and A multi-tone stimulus is used to measure the voltage and current using the measurement hardware Klippel Analyzer KA3 (QC Card, Speaker Card) or Production Analyzer.

What would you do for a Klondike bar, er, In-N-Out burger?
For some Coloradans, they would be willing to wait 14 hours for the California-based chain fast food. For other Coloradans, they would be willing to wait 14 hours AND get into a pantsless fight. Who are we to judge?
But let’s back up a bit. On November 20, In-N-Out opened the state’s first new burger joints at 10 a.m. in Aurora and Colorado Springs. In-N-Out only offered pick up, no indoor seating. Coloradans, it seemed, could not get it fast enough. The fast-food chain expected to sell about 60,000 burgers that weekend, according to the Denver Post.
The Denver Post reported wait times of up to 14 hours at the Aurora location. By 4 p.m., the car line was two miles long and wrapped around a nearby mall not once, but twice.
The Aurora Police Department even went as far as to warn people away from the eatery, and, for the love of fried food, please wait to eat In-N-Out another day.
“It’s official, traffic is double-double animal style right now all around the mall. We are on hand helping manage the massive traffic response. Be patient and be kind. Maybe support another local eatery today and In-n-Out another day if traffic is too hectic for you,” the department tweeted that day.
Not everyone heeded this warning, however. Not long after the restaurant opened, someone posted a video to Twitter of two men getting into a smackdown while waiting in line. In the process, one man’s pants slipped down to his ankles, though this didn’t deter him.
It took several other people’s involvement to break up the fight, but not before the entire ordeal was caught on camera and was viewed more than 51,000 times on social media.
“This man pulled up to the In-n-Out to get in line and get knocked out of his sweatpants,” the Twitter user captioned the video. “Day 1 and the city don’t know how to act.”
Imagine what they would do for a Whataburger.


text: The Aldish "third option" is a rarely-spoken-of compromise for women who show strength in pymary. Because of the traditional patriarchal structure of Aldish society, women would only be allowed to study the "softer arts" such as cosmetic pymary; however, because of the need for battle wrights during war time, women are allowed to bind their breasts, dress as boys, and act in every way as men in society in order to attend academy and become wrights. The assumption is that if they distinguish themselves and act in the way that is expected of them, they can eventually marry, adopt children, and keep jobs the way men would without discrimination. However, there is some stigma against third-option women, and they often face some discrimination. There is a third-option character in the side story Interior Emanations.
