How costly (in terms of performance) is it to call
Axis::EStopTimeSet()? How frequently could I call it without ill effects?
The down side to using E-Stop as an action is that I cannot configure stop parameters in terms of motor/machine capability, though in general, I want to stop “as soon as possible” (e.g. for safety reasons). I have to choose/calculate a quantity of seconds over which to apply the action. For some moves, this would be OK (though still far less desirable than a decel-based action). For others, I want to stop just as fast as is reasonable, which is based on the current velocity at the moment when the action should start and the motor’s max decel.
I don’t want to set ridiculously small times, because then I jeopardize the mechanics of the machine (when larger inertias are in play).
If I wanted to “stream” e-stop times based on the commanded velocities, how frequently could I do it without any worry of ill effects? I realize that I still have the problem of delayed execution between sending a point and the motor actually executing it to wrestle with. This is sort of an academic question concerning how I might be able to use E-Stop to my advantage if I really had to.
Is there a good way to continuously change the e-stop time so that it is essentially decel-based?
I see you are trying to get the time based E-Stop to behave like a deceleration based E-Stop. We have our senior engineers working on the bug you found. Please be patient with us while we get trigger modify working for you. I would recommend waiting for the fixed version of trigger modify.
If you are determined to try this I would recommend only changing the EStopTime if the axis velocity has changed by a significant percent so that you aren’t calling it every loop.
E-Stop is not intended to have its time changed during execution of an EStop.
Thanks, @nikolas. I am trying to work around the potential problems with the *Modify actions, though I’m not trying to set E-Stop times just before E-Stop-ing. I’m trying to achieve something like sensible E-Stop times that are a function of motor capability rather than an arbitrary time values (which are only going to be good for a range of feed rates).
The problem I have is that my (portion of the) app doesn’t exactly know what the target feed rate is (I only know instantaneous feed rates), so I will need to periodically recalculate E-Stop time in order to get reasonable behavior (rather than stops that are entirely too slow or dangerously fast).
I don’t actually want to stream E-Stop times with the frequency that I send motion data via
MovePT(). I just want to know how frequently I could update the E-Stop time without creating new problems.
Updating the E-Stop time in the way your are suggesting shouldn’t cause a problem. However as this is not the intended use we haven’t stress tested it for time and I can’t give you a hard number of a call frequency that would cause a problem at this time.
That is why I would recommend only changing the EStopTime if the axis velocity has changed by a significant amount. Each loop you could do a quick percent change calculation and only update the E-Stop time if say the feed rate has changed by 5%.
“…this is not the intended use…”
Fair enough. I’m looking for recommendations, and you’ve done that. Thanks.
Even if it were only “safe” to set E-Stop times before we start sending motion points, that would be a useful recommendation (knowledge is useful, that particular requirement wouldn’t be useful to me), too.
Thanks for the reply, @nikolas.

06 December 2022, Montreal, Canada - The below zero temperatures in the city of Montreal Canada has not dampened the spirits of Pacific delegates, who have travelled from wide and far to amplify our Pacific voice and priorities, at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP15).
More than thirty delegates from Pacific countries are among delegations from 196 countries meeting from 07 December until 19 December 2022, to try to build a new global biodiversity framework that will essentially become a blueprint to save the planet’s dwindling biodiversity. The Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework will be the first global framework on biodiversity adopted since the Aichi Biodiversity Targets in 2010.
“The writing on the wall is clear, our planet is in crisis. It is estimated that humans have altered over 97% of ecosystems worldwide, to date. One million species are currently threatened with extinction,” said the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, Ms Elizabeth Mrema. “We need to act now to bend the curve to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. COP 15 will be the most crucial and decisive step towards a better and more sustainable future for generations to come. This is our chance. It’s time to decide on a future.”
The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), as the mandated inter-governmental organisation created by the Pacific island countries for the protection of the Pacific environment, has been providing support to all the Pacific delegations, and will work with the Chair of the Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS) to coordinate our One Pacific Voice.
“It’s great to be here. For the Pacific countries and everyone involved, it has been a long journey with all the postponements due to COVID19 but that has allowed us to do a lot more work in terms of preparing our countries to be able to come here and amplify our Pacific voice,” said SPREP’s Biodiversity Adviser, Ms Amanda Wheatley. The work to amplify the one Pacific Voice will be guided by the Pacific’s key messages in Montreal, which the countries have worked to develop over the past two years .
“It is of critical importance to the Pacific islands region to have an effective and coherent Global Biodiversity Framework that reflects the needs of Pacific island nations and contributes to conserving their unique biodiversity,” Ms Wheatley articulated.
“Pacific islands face unique conditions in the effort to manage biodiversity and conservation, thanks in large part to our geographic situation, limited land, and vast ocean spaces. Pacific islands need investments in capacity to manage and monitor the status of biodiversity and of human actions influencing native biodiversity. And for us, healthy ocean biodiversity is a Pacific islands national and regional priority and should be a global priority: We want to see ocean biodiversity more recognised under the Convention and in the way we put it into action.”
The Convention on Biological Diversity was inspired by the world community's growing commitment to sustainable development. It represents a step forward in the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources.
Originally planned for Kunming, China in 2020, COP15 was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and later split into a two-part event. Part 1 was held in Kunming last October while the decision to relocate the conclusion of COP15 to Montreal was made by the Bureau of the Conference of the Parties, in consultation with the CBD Secretariat and the Governments of China and Canada.
Delegations from the Pacific have had to overcome tremendous odds to be in Montreal. The chaotic nature of post COVID-19 travel had resulted in several days of travel itineraries. Some officials are coming to Montreal right after having attended the Climate Change COP27 in Egypt and the most recent treaty negotiations in Uruguay to tackle global plastic pollution.
Despite the challenges, they are determined to ensure the needs of our island biodiversity are reflected in the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
“The CBD COP 15 sessions are high level global talks, like the climate change COP and other global negotiations. For all of the Pacific delegates here, we see our role as working together and amplifying our one Pacific voice to get the best outcomes for our people and our communities,” Ms Wheatley said.
“We want the decisions being made here to be translated to meaningful actions in all Pacific countries so the communities can benefit from the outcomes of these discussions. For all the countries that are here, when and after the adoption of the global biodiversity framework, they will then return home and look at how they put these in national biodiversity strategies and national action plans, and seek support from donors and partners to implement it. This is why the Pacific’s participation is so important.”
One of the key messages from PSIDS is that Pacific countries could be faced with a bigger burden than others when implementing this framework because they are small island developing states.
“We have to monitor and report back and one of the challenges for the Pacific is that half of this data doesn’t even exist to be able to do this monitoring: to know what is your baseline is at the moment and how you’re progressing. We’re here calling for assistance from donors and partners to be able to monitor and accurately represent Pacific islands biodiversity and management actions, in line with our strong political will.”
Thirteen of the 14 Pacific Islands parties are present in Montreal. These are the Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
There is quiet anticipation that the next two weeks will end on a high note with the 196 countries adopting a new global biodiversity framework.
“The sheer volume of work for the delegates is quite a challenge. The Pacific will be divided into different groups to try and cover all these issues,” Ms Wheatley said. “It’s going to be busy and chaotic but we are organised and coordinated. I think you’ve just got to be adaptable and flexible.
There will be plenary meetings, side events, parallel events happening at the same time but we hope there is political will across the countries of the world to get the biodiversity framework adopted.
“SPREP is here to provide technical support and any other assistance our Pacific countries may need and to follow the discussions because sometimes due to the limitations in delegation numbers, they are not able to follow all the sessions happening at the same time.”
“There is a range of experience here, we have some new delegates and some wise experienced delegates who have done this for many years, so our role is to support all on their COP journey.”
There are also a couple of firsts. For instance, this is the first time at CBD COP that there is a One CROP approach, coordinating the agencies created by Pacific island countries to support their sustainable development.
“For biodiversity it has been usually just SPREP but this time we have the Pacific Community (SPC) and Office of the Pacific Ocean Commissioner (OPOC) joining so we have adopted the approach that climate change takes and brought on our partners in a coordinated approach. It’s great to strengthen the team so that our Pacific voice can be strengthened and further amplified,” said Ms Wheatley.
“We are also looking forward to working with the chair of PSIDS who is coming for the first time to a biodiversity COP. To see the bar raised in terms of political will and ambition is a fantastic outcome we hope can attract more financial and capacity support for our Pacific countries and our communities.”
The Fifteenth Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP15) is held in Montreal, Canada from 7 – 19 December 2022. Chaired by the Government of China, the CBD COP15 will result in a new Global Biodiversity Framework that will continue the 2020 Biodiversity Targets with the global goal of halting biodiversity loss.
Fourteen Pacific Islands countries are Party to the CBD. They are contributing to a unified One Pacific Voice on collective issues at COP15. The countries present in Montreal are the Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Niue, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
Led by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), support to Pacific island countries has been implemented with technical input through the Pacific Islands Roundtable for Nature Conservation (PIRT), and includes a One Pacific approach involving support from the Office of the Pacific Ocean Commissioner, and the Pacific Community at COP15 with financial assistance from the Government of Australia and the ACP MEA Phase 3 Project funded by the European Union and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States for the ACP countries.

What is the third stage of labour?
The third stage of labour starts after your baby is born. During this stage of labour, your placenta naturally separates from the wall of your uterus. The placenta and membranes that supported your baby in your uterus during pregnancy are then expelled through your vagina.
This stage is usually less painful than the other 2, but is vital to complete your birth process.
During the third stage of labour, the umbilical cord is also clamped and cut. This is not painful for you and your baby. If you have arranged to bank or donate cord blood, your midwife will process your baby's cord blood after the cord is cut.
Usually, your midwife or doctor will cut the cord only after it has stopped pulsating (usually about a minute after your baby's birth). This is to maximise the amount of blood your baby receives from your placenta, which reduces the chance of iron-deficiency for your baby later on. Your midwife or doctor may need to cut the cord immediately if you or your baby are unwell.
Inform your midwife in advance if you prefer to keep the cord intact or if your birth partner wishes to cut the cord. Consider including this in your birth plan.
How is my placenta delivered?
After your baby's birth, your placenta naturally separates from the wall of your uterus. You may experience mild contractions as the placenta comes away from your uterus. Your midwife may ask you to push gently to help deliver the placenta.
How can my doctor or midwife support the third stage of labour?
There are two possible ways for your doctor or midwife to assist with delivery of the placenta:
- active management (with medical intervention)
- natural third stage — also called physiological or expectant management.
During active management, your doctor or midwife will give you an oxytocin injection to help your uterus contract. This speeds up delivery of the placenta and reduces the chance of excessive postpartum bleeding. If there were complications during pregnancy or labour that put you at a higher risk of excessive postpartum bleeding, your midwife or doctor may recommend an active third stage.
In a natural third stage, your midwife may apply pressure to your abdomen and gently pull the umbilical cord to help ease the placenta out, but there is no other medical intervention.
During the third stage of labour, your midwife can help provide breastfeeding support and will continue to check on you and your baby's wellbeing.
You can discuss your choices with your midwife or doctor during your pregnancy to help you make informed decisions and choices before giving birth.
How long does the third stage of labour usually last?
An actively managed third stage of labour usually takes anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. If you decide to have a natural third stage, it can take up to one hour.
Will I need stitches after labour?
The skin and tissues between your vagina and anus (perineum) can sometimes tear when it is stretched during birth.
After your placenta has been delivered, your midwife will check your perineum for tears. They will assess how deep these are and where they are located.
Small, shallow tears may not need stitches, but larger tears may be stitched so they heal properly. This will reduce your chance of complications.
If you need stitches for a tear or an episiotomy, your doctor or midwife will offer you pain relief.
Will my birth partner be with me?
Your birth partner can usually stay with you throughout this stage of labour and provide you with support, for example, by reassuring you and bringing you anything you need.
If you prefer privacy at any time during labour, let your midwife know — it's your choice.
Where is my baby during the third stage of labour?
Your baby will be placed on you after they are born, for skin-to-skin contact and you will both be covered with a blanket to keep you warm.
This is also a good chance to breastfeed your baby for the first time, if you would like to. You may find that this a great way to start to bond with your newborn, even if you plan to bottle feed later.
Breastfeeding during this time can:
- shorten the third stage of labour, as it releases oxytocin, which contracts your uterus and aids in the delivery of the placenta
- reduce the amount of bleeding you may have after birth
- keep your baby s blood sugar levels normal
Your midwife may offer to weigh your baby and give them medicines such as a vitamin K injection, but there is no rush. If you are both well, this is a good time for you to meet and enjoy your baby.
What happens if something goes wrong?
Every labour is unique, and sometimes things don t go according to plan. You may have to adjust your birth plan if the situation calls for it. There can be labour complications in which extra medical support is needed.
Your midwife and doctor will communicate and guide you to make the best decisions for you and your baby.
Resources and support
- Speak to your doctor or midwife during a prenatal visit about what to expect in the third stage of pregnancy.
- The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists provides a pamphlet on labour and birth.
- Health NSW has created a labour and birth booklet outlining the various stages, what to expect at each stage of the birthing process and as well as how you can be supported.
- You can also listen to our podcast on understanding your choices when having a baby.

The contemporary master of cinema, Quentin Tarantino, has so many excellent pieces of work, so many diverse, fascinating and exciting tour de forces, that some of his lesser known pieces, such as "Jackie Brown" are often lost in the history books. And alongside being forgotten they are also often dismissed as lesser films, or bad films. Despite this, Jackie Brown, which was Tarantino's work between "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill", is an excellent film.
As Tarantino's usual suspects re-assemble, we are told a tale of drug smuggling, guns and lots of cash as we mix with both criminals and the cops. The synopsis itself is not important, as the story unfolds beautifully with a little bit of romance sprinkled on top of a lot of suspense,
The problem with Tarantino's lesser known films is the fact that they are immediately compared to one of his always known masterpieces, rather than being compared to the average film. Reviewing "Jackie Brown" on an average film basis, you get the product of excellent direction, almost all good acting, an intriguing storyline, and an all over enjoyable film.
Samuel L Jackson heads up the team of actors, creating a typical Jackson Tarantino performance, but as always entertaining, and also creating a very believable and scary character, who scares his audience but also creates the character of Ordell into someone the audience like and enjoy being with on the screen, despite the fact they hate the fact they do.
Pam Grier serves up an excellent performance as the title character, who plays an excellent strong female character, who lead the film beautifully. Alongside her, we have Robert Forster, who serves up the best performance of his career. Although his character is possibly the most moderate, sensible and likeable person of any Tarantino, he makes a nice change to the other criminals who dominate the screen. Forster also empowers the traditional good of the screen where the police officers, played by Michael Keaton and others, fail.
But the best performance of the film comes from Robert De Niro. De Niro, leading the audience on throughout 90% of the film as one type of person, shocks and pleasantly surprises everyone with his small, but excellent performance.
The cinematography is nothing special, but what really dominates the film, is the ability of Tarantino to tell a fascinating story, and un-wide it, inciting the audience with every new move. "Jackie Brown" is an excellent film. The reason it is passed over as something less than it is, is because of the historical achievements of Tarantino, just even after 5 years of filmmaking.
But "Brown" is an excellent film, and one which should have a place in every film enthusiast's collection. Although it is perhaps too full of story lines, twist, sub-twists, and more, "Jackie Brown" is a great film by Tarantino standards, and a fantastic one by others.

Rebecca could probably use a hug right about now. Or two. You know what? Just go ahead and make that all the hugs in the world.
The Pearson matriarch suffered the surprising and jarring loss of her husband, Jack, in Sunday’s episode of This Is Us, and then there she was, struggling mightily through the grieving gauntlet in Tuesday’s installment of the NBC family drama, titled “The Car.” (Now you know why Mandy Moore called it “rip-your-heart-out sad” and “more gut-wrenching” than “Super Bowl Sunday.”) Haunted by guilt over not being in the hospital room with Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) when he died from cardiac arrest soon after he’d cheated a fiery death, Rebecca (Moore) worked hard to stay close to the urn on the day of the funeral to make up for it. And in a moment of I can’t-be-responsible-for-this-family doubt, she received some necessary tough (but also gentle) love from Dr. K. (Gerald McRaney), who reminded her that she had made one of the sweetest damn pitchers of lemonade from the sourest of lemons before, and she could do it again.
With renewed and determined spirit, Rebecca took her family to Jack’s special tree to spread his ashes. To remind Kate (Hannah Zeile) that it wasn’t her fault Jack went back into the house to retrieve the family dog (plus family photos and other small but special items). To instruct young Randall (Niles Fitch) and Kevin (Logan Shroyer) to be not men of the house but 17-year-old boys. And to promise to Jack’s tree that they were going to be “okay.” (Yes, it was the same word Jack used when explaining to the car salesman that he needed this Grand Wagoneer because “I want my family to be okay.”) There was hope from this horror, and she steered this family car across the shoddy bridge that she’d previously been frightened to cross with her eyes open, headed to a Bruce Springsteen concert with Jack’s tickets, pushing herself and the Big Three through darkness on the edge of town.
Let’s take a very long sip of water, cue up any Springsteen song besides “I’m On Fire,” and speak to the actress coming off of two standout performances in three days.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What’s the best metaphor to describe what Rebecca has been through over these last two episodes?
MANDY MOORE: Oh my gosh! I don’t know. As Mandy, I’m worried about my emotional well-being. [Laughs.] No. I feel very drained emotionally. Like, any sort of emotion has just been vacuum-sucked out of me for the last two months. But I’ve loved the challenge of showing up to work every day and figuring out where it’s all going to come from. But poor Rebecca — man, she really has been through the ringer. It’s such a huge loss that it speaks to this great sadness that present-day Rebecca continues to walk around with. This is a hole that will never get filled.
It’s heartbreaking to see her carrying around so much guilt about not being in the room when Jack expired, which is why she’s concerned with being near his urn at all times. Not that it would have made any difference in a catastrophic situation like Jack suffered. How might that guilt manifest in the days and weeks to come?
That’s a very good question. I’m not sure. I’m just as curious as to see what happens in the days and weeks to come — and the years to come — because they haven’t been portrayed on screen yet. There’s that whole ten-year chunk of time that we have yet to see how all of this manifests itself and unfolds for Rebecca and the kids. I’m sure that it is something that does not go away quickly. It does not recede quickly.
At the same time she’s dealing with that, Kate is also wracked with guilt. When she presses her mom to essentially confirm that the reason Jack died is because he went back for the dog, Rebecca keeps numbly repeating, “I don’t know.” It’s a brutal moment, as everyone’s in raw pain. What is Rebecca thinking right then? Does she not have the emotional fortitude to absolve her there? She probably has anger that Jack did go back in for the dog, though not necessarily directed at Kate. And what changed between then and the second conversation later, in which Rebecca stepped up and reassured Kate that it wasn’t her fault? Was she embracing a “What would Jack do?” approach?
I think it’s a little bit of the all-of-the-above. I don’t think she has the emotional fortitude to get into it at that point. And I also think there’s just brutal honesty there — “I don’t know” — and we’re never going to have that answer. He did go back in for the dog; he went back in and somehow amassed photo albums and video tapes and my moon necklace. Somehow he found the time to go and gather all of that, in 30 seconds or a minute. But again, most importantly, we’re never going to have those answers, so it doesn’t seem helpful to wallow in that.
But I think in between that scene and just the immediate aftermath of losing him and a week later, is the stepping up and the “What would Jack do?” of it all. But also, like, “That was your father. There was no stopping him. He was always going to go back in. He was a grown adult and a grown man and he made that choice for himself, and no one was going to tell him otherwise. You know that and I know that, and I swear on my bones, I will be here to remind you of that in your weaker moments for the rest of my life, if I have to.” I think she’s very convicted in that belief.
This episode sets up Rebecca to take the reins as a parent. By the end of it, she’s willing herself and her family across that bridge that she was scared of and through the healing process. How does she “try” in the aftermath? We know that she isn’t entirely successful at helping some of her children heal, given what we know about her strained relationship with Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Kevin (Justin Hartley). And there’s limited time before the kids leave the house. (Series creator) Dan Fogelman says that everything for this family hinges on this day, so what happens after the hinge?
I think Dan has more of an idea and he hasn’t necessarily shared with us. I can tell you that we’re putting a pin in this moment of time for the rest of this season. We’re going to go back in time a little bit and we’re going to stay more present-day, but we’re not going to revisit the immediate aftermath of this funeral in season 2.
Dan also said he was particularly proud of the ending of this funeral episode, that it felt “soaring,” sweeping,” and “strangely optimistic.” Was it a relief to end the episode on a more hopeful note, after two episodes of really raw, painful material? I don’t know if you filmed it out of sequence?
It was all out of sequence. Yes, it was very important to end on that note. Absolutely. I think people needed that respite, they needed that sense of relief. As did we. The Pearsons needed it too.

Summer is the season of traveling. From long holiday weekends to much-anticipated family vacations, being out of school and vacation days to burn make it easier for families to plan special trips. While states like Florida and California tend to be beacons of desirable destinations, Ohio itself boasts a booming tourism industry as well. When planning your next family vacation, I encourage you to consider staying within the state to discover everything it has to offer.
Ohio is one of a kind—from local wineries to historical landmarks to amusement parks, there is always something unique to do. Our tourism industry is a huge economic driver for the state, and it’s important to promote its features not only across state lines, but to residents as well. Even when you’ve lived in the state your entire life, there are so many regional treasures to uncover.
I was happy to learn that 2016 was the seventh consecutive year of sustained growth within Ohio’s tourism industry, generating an estimated $43 billion in sales, a 20-percent increase in the last five years. During the last year, there were 212 million tourist visits to and within Ohio, up 5 million from 2015! On top of these impressive statistics, tourism is crucial to job growth and sustainability, with approximately 427,000 jobs related to the industry.
Tourism is not only a way to generate nationwide significance and invite people and businesses to invest in Ohio, but it is also an important sector of Ohio’s job market. I’m proud to have seen Ohio grow in this way over the past several years. I’ve always known that Ohio is a special place, and it is good to see others recognizing its amazing landscapes, fun-filled attractions, and interesting local amenities. Whether you’re heading down to the terrain of Hocking Hills or up to Cedar Point and the shores of Lake Erie, Ohio is an incredible place to spend undivided time with your friends, family, and loved ones.


Plane crashes, burns after takeoff from Chandler airport
CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) — A single-engine plane with four people aboard crashed and caught fire Saturday after taking off from Chandler Municipal Airport in metro Phoenix, officials said.
Four people were transported to hospitals for treatment of injuries that weren’t life-threatening, the Chandler Department said in a brief statement
Fire crews extinguished the fire after it gutted the plane’s fuselage.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash that occurred after the plane took off at about 7:20 a.m., the FAA said in a brief statement.


Today's launch of the 'Astrolab' mission, in which ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter, from Germany, will begin Europe's first long-duration mission onboard the International Space Station (ISS), was postponed again due to bad weather conditions. US Space Shuttle Discovery is now scheduled for liftoff from the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Florida, Tuesday, 4 July, at 20:38 CEST.

Lemme get this straight:
“They spent eight years hammering the guy, but they couldn’t criticize any of his actual evil policies because they were all policies that Republicans support too, from warmongering to bolstering the Walmart economy. So they had to make up the most ridiculous bullshit we’d ever heard, which you couldn’t just stand around listening to without screaming and disputing.”
So are the Republicans completely stupid? Obama enacts all the evil policies they support but they still attack him and obstruct him at every step?
Or — maybe — there is a smidgen of difference between Obama and the Republicans after all?

Nokia Siemens Lands $900M India Deal
NSN, the joint venture which opened for business on April 1 this year, is already a major supplier to Bharti Airtel, India's largest mobile operator with more than 40 million subscribers, a market share of about 23 percent, and quarterly revenues of more than $1.3 billion. (See Nokia Siemens is Alive, Nokia Siemens Opens on a Downer, and Indian Carriers Grow Quarterly Profits.)
In October last year, the carrier awarded Nokia a $400 million GSM expansion and managed services deal as it, and India's other mobile operators, await a decision from the Indian government on 3G licenses. (See Nokia Snags New Bharti Deal and India on Edge Over 3G.)
But this is additional business, building on last year's deal, and expands the relationship into Bharti's fixed network and prepaid international calling card business.
Over the next two years, NSN is to supply mobile infrastructure, including base stations and mobile softswitches, OSS software, and a wide set of planning and integration services for GSM network expansion projects in eight of India's 23 "circles," the country's mobile services zones.
The carrier needs to add network capacity to cope with the nearly 2 million new customers it is adding to its subscriber base each month, and is also extending its network coverage further into rural areas, where mobile usage is becoming increasingly popular and stimulating economic growth.
During the same timeframe NSN is also supplying a range of Surpass (Siemens) softswitches, media gateways, and media servers to add 1.8 million long distance and international voice ports as part of Bharti Airtel's fixed network expansion project.
The calling card capabilities will be supplied over a three-year period and be based around NSN's [email protected] intelligent networks (IN) platform, and will expand the carrier's calling card system capacity by 4.5 million potential customers.
Dresdner Kleinwort 's Per Lindberg believes the broad range of systems included in a single deal is significant for the vendor. "The breakthrough integration order represents one of the finest coups for the enlarged group," states Lindberg in a research note issued Tuesday.
The combination of mobile, fixed, and IN systems "marks a significant step-up from the current run-rate of business relationship" between the vendor and carrier.
News of the deal helped push Nokia Corp. (NYSE: NOK)'s share price up by 1.6 percent to €21.27 on the Helsinki Stock Exchange.
But NSN is not the only supplier deeply entrenched at Bharti Airtel: Ericsson AB (Nasdaq: ERIC) is also a major mobile infrastructure provider, while IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) is playing a key role as the carrier's lead service delivery platform (SDP) supplier. (See Ericsson in $1B Bharti Expansion and IBM to Manage SDP for Bharti .)
NSN and Ericsson are also the key suppliers for the massive GSM expansion project planned by one of Bharti's main rivals, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) . (See BSNL to Award $4.5B Mobile Contracts.)

UPDATED: New gun design and instructable steps, 08 april
Minor Update, 12 april: Ive redesigned the firing levers to stop misfires. The changes are very small but important. The very last section has a photo of the modifications.
I agree with the comments saying the gun was too bulky. Ive remade it into a much more compact and powerful design. The first few steps are the same, but theres more ones been added to show the new design. Ive also got a video of the gun firing.
I will begin this with the obligigatory "my first instructable etc....". With that out the way, onto the gun. (by the way, I know my username is spelled wrong).
This gun holds 8 shots, and will fire them as fast as you can pull the trigger. It can fire several types of connector. Using two bands per shot, it fires about 30-40 feet, though It has the potential for much more.
It does not require many "exotic" parts, however you do need quite alot of bands. I needed 19: 16 for the barrel, 1 for the barrel spinner, and 2 for the trigger return mechanism.
The basic idea is that the barrel holds the 8 shots in a ring. The barrel is tensioned by a band which makes it rotate betweeen each shot. When you pull the trigger, a level flicks one shot out of the barrel, and at the same time moves a ratchet which advances the barrel one "click", lining up the next shot. This mechanism can work very quickly- I can fire off all 8 shots in under two seconds.
Note: If you fire this at hard surfaces, it tends to break parts off the ammo. Also, the shots rebound very easily and can hurt if they hit you.
Step 1: The Barrel
First off you need to make the barrel. Its a pretty simple structure.
The first picture shows how you should fix two elastic bands into the connector(sorry for the blurry photo. The rest are much better). Make this part eight times, then build it up into the barrel shown in the second and third picture.
You might need a different number of bands depending on what type you have.

The absorbances at 405 and 573 nm had been documented Rabbit Polyclonal to PKC theta. using ViewLux high throughput CCD imager (Perkin-Elmer Waltham MA) using regular absorbance protocol configurations. During dispense enzyme and substrate containers had been kept submerged right into a +4°C recirculating chiller shower to reduce degradation. Plates filled with DMSO just BGJ398 (NVP-BGJ398) manufacture (rather than compound solutions) had been included around every 50 plates through the entire display screen to monitor any organized trend within the assay sign connected with reagent dispenser variant or reduction in enzyme particular activity. Data had been normalized to settings and plate-based data corrections had been applied to filter background noise. Typical Z′ was 0.69 across 688 1536-well assay plates. Sign to history was 3.4. The qHTS yielded 1 562 952 activity factors in dosage response format. We’d identified 163 chemical substance clusters and 191 singletons utilizing the cheminformatics evaluation process previously referred to . Lipoxygenase UV-Vis Assay The inhibitor substances had been screened primarily using one focus stage at 25 μM on the Perkin-Elmer Lambda 40 UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The percent inhibition was dependant on evaluating the enzyme prices from the control (DMSO solvent) as well as the inhibitor test by following a formation from the conjugated diene item at 234 nm (ε?=?25 0 M?1 cm?1). The reactions had been initiated with the addition of 200 nM 15-LOX-2 30 nM 12-LOX 40 nM 15-LOX-1 or around 100-300 nM (5-10 μL) of 5-LOX crude draw out to some cuvette with 2 mL response buffer continuously stirred utilizing a magnetic mix bar at space temperature (22°C). Response buffers useful for different LOX isozymes had been the following: 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.3) 0.3 mM CaCl2 0.1 mM EDTA 0.2 mM ATP 0.01% Triton X-100 10 μM AA for the crude ammonium sulfate precipitated 5-LOX; and 25 mM HEPES (pH BGJ398 (NVP-BGJ398) manufacture 7.5) 0.01% Triton X-100 10 μM AA for 15-LOX-2 15 and 12-LOX. The substrate focus was quantitatively dependant on permitting the enzymatic a reaction to go to conclusion in the current presence of 15-LOX-2. For the inhibitors that demonstrated a lot more than 50% inhibition within the one-point display IC50 values had been obtained by identifying the % inhibition in accordance with solvent vehicle just at different inhibitor concentrations. The info had been after that plotted against inhibitor focus accompanied by a hyperbolic saturation curve in shape (presuming total enzyme focus [E]?IC50). It ought to be noted that of the powerful inhibitors displayed higher than 80% maximal inhibition unless in any other case mentioned in the dining tables. All inhibitors had been kept at ?20°C in DMSO. NDGA was used as positive control for the selectivity assays for the various LOX isozymes. Steady State Inhibition Kinetics The steady-state kinetics experiments were performed with MLS000545091 and MLS000536924 to determine the mode of inhibition. Inhibitor concentrations of 0 1 2 and 5 μM were used. Reactions were initiated by adding approximately 200 nM of 15-LOX-2 to a constantly stirring 2 mL cuvette containing 25 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.5) and 1-40 μM AA in the presence of 0.01% Triton X-100. LOX reaction rates were determined by monitoring the formation of the conjugated product 15 at 234 nm (ε?=?25 000 M?1 cm?1) with a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 40 UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The substrate concentration was quantitatively determined by allowing the enzymatic reaction to proceed to completion. Initial enzymatic rates were plotted versus substrate concentration at various inhibitor concentrations and subsequently fitted to the Henri-Michaelis-Menten equation using KaleidaGraph (Synergy) to determine the microscopic rate constants Vmax (μmol/min/mg) and Vmax/KM (μmol/min/mg/μM). KM/Vmax was replotted versus inhibitor concentration to yield Ki and 1/Vmax was replotted versus inhibitor concentration to yield Ki′. Ki and Ki′ are defined as the equilibrium constants of dissociation from the enzyme and enzyme substrate complex respectively Pseudoperoxidase Assay The pseudo-peroxidase activity was determined with 15-LOX-2 enzyme using BWb70c as a positive control and 13-HPODE as the oxidizing product on a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 40 UV/Vis spectrophotometer as referred to previously . Activity was dependant on monitoring.

Words by Ash Wallace
Brought to you by SCHEMA Collective, SCHEMA Festival is back for round 2! A two-day festival with a bill of acts ranging from punk, metal, rock and hip hop, all in support of mental health and environmental action. The SCHEMA Collective is an alliance of QLD musicians and artists, creating a difference within the scene by supporting the likes of Kids Help Line, ADF (alcohol and drug foundation), Sea Shepard, Stop Adani and many more, hosting inclusive and accessible events in their support. A group of like minded people banding together to create positive change in the world, whilst supporting one another.
The first day of SCHEMA Fest was held at dual venues The Brightside and the Valley Drive In. Walking into the Brightside, you could almost immediately already feel the radiating body heat and sweat forming on your upper lip and forehead. It was nearing sun down and punters were beginning to trickle in.
The first band I saw was Regular Gonzales at the Brightside stage. Are you hungry for a riff sandwich? Look no further, Regular Gonzales, Brisbane breakdown legends and fellow SCHEMA Festival co-founders will provide you the goods. Early into the set saw Grant, vocalist of Strange Fiction get up and join in to cover Every Time I Die. Their aim of community unity and spreading a positive message shone through during the set. As they banged out riff after riff I couldn’t help but chuckle at the lone balloon wander amidst the crowd, a subtle game of don’t let the balloon touch the ground. The mosh pit was riling up and during the finishing off with their track Chains. Then I had to dash out to the Valley Drive In stage to catch Fang!
Fang is quickly becoming a household name in the Australian deathcore scene. Vocalist, Andrew Vaughan stood out in a yellow shirt, in front of the contrasting darkness of the stage, sky and omission of coloured light flares. Vaughan dug straight into the brutality that is his voice and upheld a captivating stage presence throughout the set, his distinct guttural harsh vocals being nothing less than filthy. Tying together components of each respected member’s musical background, the blend of sludgy, down tempo and aggressive tracks will make you want to turn up the volume full blast until your ears bleed. Among the sea of punters, the atmosphere was intense and buzzing, everyone shouting along to the lyrics. Being quite early into the night, Fang still managed to rope in a solid crowd-I couldn’t help but notice the intense gravitational pull. All this being said, my expectations were well over fulfilled. Fang are on the rise, so don’t be a dud and let them slip your musical rotation. Get your ‘stank face’ on and get ready to mosh your little hearts out.
Metalcore band Virtues were the next band I caught, back at the Brightside stage. Now, this is where the moshing and circle pits really started to get intense and rightfully so! The set was dedicated to a friend, ‘Jamesy’ who unfortunately is battling cancer, which made it even more worth the while to go wild and let loose. Vocalist Wade, was very much in control of the crowd, passing out the mic, getting amongst us in the crowd and dishing out some very theatrical facial expressions and ruthless “BLEEAUGGHH’S.” Kicking off with When in Rome, the mosh pit began immediately and didn’t stop.
Oldtown were just beginning their set, and unbeknownst to me at that time, would serve to be my favourite act and highlight of the night. A ball of energy, vocalist Matthew Muscari ran and jumped around the stage even sprawling out of the floor performing 2018 track The Swindler. Joining the stage after that, donned in a beautiful all rainbow outfit was Grant McMillan of Strange Fiction, covering the classic Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones. At this point the shirts were off, the sweat was flying and hands were a-swing. Just before I thought it couldn’t get any better, the beast, Andrew Vaughan of Fang graced the stage with them. To round off the set, Matt Scott (guitar and vocals) climbed his way up into the rafters to play and the audience chanting for even more Oldtown. Come and join the riff club!
After a little break to grab some grub, it was time for Windwaker to take the Valley Drive In Stage. By this point I was finding myself super sweaty having to dash from stage to stage but it was worth all excess heat expelling from my body. I was a little sad as the crowds weren’t as receptive until the latter half of the set, but they got there in the end. Following the success of their ‘Empire’ ep earlier in the year, the set list included singles The Stitch, My Empire and a cover of Silverchair’s Freak, which I was absolutely ecstatic about. Will’s vocal versatility and range is unprecedented and highly regarded. It was a particularly bittersweet set, as this being one of Liam’s (guitars and backing vocals) last performances with the rest of the Windwaker boys to focus on other band, Reside. As the circle pits and were brewing, a stand out highlight for me, stood a fellow fan being ‘knighted’ with a chip-bag hat.
To close the night, back at the valley drive in stage, was none other than Aussie metalcore favourites, Void Of Vison. There’s without a doubt something in the water here in Australia, constantly pumping out strong metal acts, one after the other, and Void Of Vision is one of them. Just before setting off to Europe they were here in the motherland to give us a standout performance. I could tell that everyone had been on their tip toes all day waiting for Void’s set tonight. Kicking off with high energy and impact, playing tracks from the recent record ‘Hyperdaze’; Babylon, Hole In Me and some older fan favourites including Ghost In The Machine. You know there was going to be circle pits and a wall of death even before you attend a Void Of Vision show, but did u think you would see crab-core moshing? It was kind of a ‘you had to be there’ moment… anyway, I digress. Soul crushing riffs and violent breakdowns really pull in the fans and vocalist, Jack Bergin’s vigorous performance every single time make them such powerhouses in Australian metalcore right now.
Day 2 of SCHEMA Festival had arrived and following the all ages event throughout that afternoon, the second half of the second day was ready to begin. Today was held at The Zoo, still standing as one of Brisbane’s staple music venues here in the heart of fortitude valley. The stage setup today consisted of the main zoo stage and the ‘bar stage’, a smaller, more intimate stage next to the bar-obviously, hence the name.
The first act I caught was Greshka. Basically, all you need to know about Greshka is that they are like Japanese gacha machines (dispensable toy vending machines.) In the sense that you don’t know exactly what you’re gonna get but whatever the outcome your stoked just because of the experience. The five piece neo gypsy collective provided a jazzy, funky, soulful and electric and non-drug induced trip. One song was very reminiscent of Arabian Nights, but more intense and somehow also very fever dream-like, but in a good way. Another was a tune about poverty and some sort of nut, sung in Greek. Tomfoolery and interpretive dance tied into the intricate skill of all instrumentalists was what made the set attractive and interesting, maybe even relieving
You may not have heard the name, but its definitely one to jump on. Embracing the culture of hip hop and weathered life experience, Unda Dwella renders a real and raw sound with relatable lyrics and catchy beats. The Brisbane based rapper, dad, “life enthusiast and fighter of the good fight” is sure to get your vibes in check. Still early on in the day and a small 20-minute set, Dwella managed to pull a good crowd.
Is it wrong of me to assume every rock n roller with grey hair and cut off muscles tees are into Jimmy Barnes…? No but in all seriousness, Valvetrain are Brisbane hard rockers, with a classic Aussie metal sound, ever so pleasant on the ole ear holes. Valvetrain really hit the nail on the head in the riff department, talk about riffs for days! Set list included tracks After The Fall and One Day. And don’t think we didn’t catch the cheeky Enter Sandman intro that was snuck in, very nice touch.
Ozi Jarel, my absolute highlight of the day. A hip-hop artist, spoken word poet and youth leader-talk about triple threat- and man of the hour for me personally. Oozing with style and swagger, Jarel and co. pumped up the damn energy at The Zoo, getting all of us up jumping and grooving with them, especially with the track Ca$h. Every Tom, Dick and Harry were chanting along“Wu Tang, Wu Tang said cash rules everything around me, O.J, O.J said cash rules everything around me.” Sophisticated and fun word play, toying with experiences based on his upbringing and background and an appetite to bring communities and people together with music spirit and soul. To wrap up the short and sweet set, Just Brookes hopped upon the stage to join in. The mellow ambience was enhanced by the chandeliers and fairy lights, as the night started to roll in.
Over at the bar stage, B-Syde was pumping out tasty electronic pieces. The beat maker, loop creator, producer and performer creates a beautiful brew of electronic synths, bluesy guitar licks and funky dance style beats. Through his lyrics, pays homage to mother earth and human connection. Again, still not a big crowd but by all means a nice break between the heavier acts on the bill.
Griefcase was up next, back at The Zoo main stage. Melodic hardcore newcomers Griefcase propelled into their set which included tracks Liar, Vipers and Heaven. Midway through the set, In between tracks, a special birthday shout out, a carolling of “happy birthday” and cake to the face. Everyone was getting amongst the pit and having a hell of a time, probably wishing, like me, the set went on a little longer.
Even though I knew SCHEMA was not just a metal and punk festival, I was still glad I had the opportunity to check out some acts not in my usual realm of genres I gravitate to. Jazzy funk, rap and hip-hop, even some DJ sets, but of course, also the metal and rock outfits. The people behind SCHEMA Festival and SCHEMA Collective are bunch of great people, doing great things in and for the community, and just to mention again the amazing work and support they do for many charities and non for profits. SCHEMA Festival round two was a huge success and plans for SCHEMA Festival 2020 are already underway!

Let the title not deceive you, for even though this hill-top provides beautiful views of the plains below, it’s nowhere near being called a hill station even though they market it so. It can be, for sure, very closely related to Nandi Hills near Bangalore. It commands a much better height and views subsequently, and the crowd is certainly much less. So, if you have a day or two to drive out of Bangalore, you’ve been to Bangalore’s very own Nandi Hills umpteen no. of times, and wanna explore something new, drive along !
Horsley Hills is 150 kms from Bangalore, so you can drive all the way and come back the same day, or stay there for a night as well if you want to make it leisurely. There’s this APTDC’s Punnami resort which can be booked online, and from what I saw there, it looks pretty neat. Post a nice drive from the foothills ( follow the GPS but ask around too; there are few turns which you can miss easily before you start ascending the hills ), a beautiful green campus awaits you. Very refreshing for a walk in the mornings and evenings alike, I’ve seen foggy photos of the same, perhaps from the colder winter months ! The swimming pool has people saying good things about it in their reviews. The food, from what I read, is quite basic though. We were in for a day trip so I don’t have my own experiences to talk about.
The Punnami campus is a pretty old one, and dates back to the British era. You can easily notice the old colonial style reception area as soon as you enter the main gate, with a grave marking the final resting place of one Mr. Horsley’s son, who died the same day that he was born on. This was the man who is credited to have found out and develop this hill. A silent and refreshing hideout for the British to run to during the unbearable and unforgiving summers in Andhra.
We started off quite leisurely from Bangalore ( around 11 ! ), but the weather was quite good for the entire stretch. The road itself is quite good for the most part. You need to go till Hoskote, and then drive towards Chintamani. The drive till Chintamani is pretty awesome except for the fact that there quite a few ( well-marked ) speed breakers on this stretch, so you won’t be able to clock an average speed higher than 60 kmph perhaps. After Chintamani, the road narrows down to the usual 2-lane ‘highway’. and although it’s pretty good to drive during the day ( a pothole here, another pothole there, few unmarked speed breakers too ! ), one needs to be careful at high speeds during the night. That being said, its a good drive nevertheless, with expansive views opening up to you as soon as you cross Hoskote. And to top it all, the traffic was quite thin for a weekend ! You’ll love the leisurely drive I’m sure.
After you cross Chintamani, the GPS will direct you to a shorter route towards your left. I, however, decided to take the more talked about route which goes through Madanapalle. The distance is almost same, and I wanted to stick to the standard route. This decision helped in satiating our hunger pangs as well. There’s not even a single dhaba on the entire stretch, and since food at hills is said to be basic, we decided to try our luck at the last town before we started ascending up. Not very impressive, but you can certainly fill up your stomach with some basic stuff. Just as we were getting out of town, we saw a few new food joints opening up, so who knows, you may get some variety ( and better quality ) next time !
Now, the drive up from the foothills is pretty neat, and you can stop by at quite a few places to enjoy the scene as well as the greenery, and get trigger happy too ! Once you reach the top, you can park your vehicle inside the Punnami resort, and walk towards the view points. There are 2 of them as we were told. One provides quite an expansive view of the plains below ( it’s quite impressive trust me ! ), while the other is very obviously called the sunset point. I did read about a sunrise point in the blogs too, but we were there towards the sunset anyway, and had to get back, so we didn’t spend any time in trying to explore the same. It’s a good place for a nigh-out too I’m sure, from what I read online; and looks like it’s justified, and that quite a few people ( especially families ) do stop by for the night.
Btw there’s a very small zoo too if you would like a stroll inside. So, may be something for the kids too. We didn’t go inside though.
So, by now, I have told you about 2 other options near Bangalore for a 1-day drive, very similar to Nandi: Avalabetta ( 100 kms; read my previous article on the same ), and Horsley Hills. Do you know about any more such places which are close by and where you can drive all the way up :-) ??
Have fun !!!

LG V10 flagship phablet was announced back on October 1. The device went on sale in Korea starting from October 8. The company has now stated that the flagship device will start rolling out globally (China, USA, Hong Kong) starting this week.
The LG V10 global roll out starts this week with China, USA and Hong Kong. It will be followed by key markets in North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States throughout Q4 2015.
If you’re in USA, the phone will be available from Verizon with a $28 per month contract for 24 months or $672 (off-contract). On T-Mobile, it comes at $25 per month contract for 24 months or $599.99 without contract and on AT&T, it will cost you $23.34 per month contract for 30 months or $699.99 without contract. Another good news for US customers is that they will get a free 200GB SanDisk microSD card and an extra battery with charging cradle worth over $300 but only if you purchase it within November 15. So, you have just 15 days time to get these goodies. Check out the specifications.
LG V10 Specifications
The LG V10 features a 5.7-inch (2560 x 1440 pixels) Quad HD In-cell Touch Quantum display that has a pixel density of 513 ppi. There is another 2.1-inch (1040 x 160 pixels) IPS Quantum Display that also comes with a pixel density of 513 ppi. It is powered by a 1.8 GHz hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 64-bit processor along with Adreno 418 GPU. It has 4 GB of LPDDR3 RAM and comes with 64 GB of internal memory that can also be expanded up to 2 TB via microSD card. The device runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS with LG UX 4.0 custom skin on top of it. The updated OS from LG comes with a lot of new features retaining some proprietary software like Knock On, KnockCode and health app.
The second display will let the user view information like weather, date, time and battery icon while the main display is off. There is also an option to set it to always-on. The users can set shortcuts of their favourite apps in the second screen to launch them quickly. Notifications can be displayed on them discreetly without blocking the view of the main screen.
The V10 rocks a 16 megapixel rear primary camera with LED flash, Optical Image stabilization (OIS) 2.0, F/1.8 aperture, Laser Auto Focus. It can also record 4K videos. It comes with a manual mode for video to adjust options like shutter speed, frame rate, ISO, white balance and focus while recording.
On the front, there is a 5 megapixel front-facing camera with dual lens setup – one has 80-degree standard angle and another comes with 12-degree wide-angle. Now, that is a fancy selfie camera. “For the wide-angle shot, the V10 employs a sophisticated software algorithm to combine images from the two separate lenses which are just far enough apart to provide two different points of view”, according to LG. There is also a multi-view recording option that will capture at different angles utilizing all the three cameras.
The phablet has a 8.6 mm thick body that weighs 192 grams. The frame is made up of SAE grade 316L stainless steel that will ensure maximum durability and the soft Dura Skin on the bottom and the back offers protection from direct impacts. According to LG, the phone also meets the US Military Standard MIL-STD 810G to withstand a fall of up to 1.2 meters. There is a fingerprint sensor at the back. It comes with a 32 bit Hi-Fi DAC by ESS Technology for enhanced audio output and Qualcomm Technologies’ TruSignal antenna boost technology that intelligently optimizes signal strength to reduce dropped calls, faster data and better call coverage.
The LG V10 includes 4G LTE, 3G HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (dual band), Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, NFC and Slim Port as connectivity options. The phablet packs in a 3,000 mAh removable battery that supports Quick Charge 2.0 and the phone charges from 0 to 50 in just 40 minutes. The V10 is available in Space Black, Modern Beige, Luxe White, Ocean Blue and Opal Blue color variants.
