An RL circuit, which consists of a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) connected in series, behaves differently when connected to an alternating current (AC) power source compared to a direct current (DC) source. Let's explore how the RL circuit behaves under AC power:
Inductive Reactance (XL):
When an AC power source is connected to the RL circuit, the alternating current flowing through the inductor induces a voltage across it. The inductor opposes changes in current, so it causes a phase shift between the voltage and current. The opposition to the flow of alternating current in an inductor is called inductive reactance (XL).
The voltage across the inductor lags the current flowing through it by 90 degrees in an ideal inductor (assuming there is no resistance in the inductor). This means that the voltage and current are out of phase in an RL circuit.
The impedance of the RL circuit is the total opposition to the flow of AC current and is a combination of resistance and inductive reactance. The impedance (Z) can be calculated using the following formula:
Z = √(R² + XL²)
Because of the phase shift, the current in the RL circuit lags the voltage across it. The larger the inductive reactance (XL), the greater the phase shift, and the more the current lags behind the voltage.
Voltage and Current Behavior:
As the AC voltage source alternates, the current in the RL circuit also alternates. However, the alternating current is affected by the inductive reactance, and its amplitude may differ from that of the voltage. The maximum current occurs slightly after the maximum voltage due to the phase shift.
Time Constant (τ):
The RL circuit has a characteristic time constant τ (tau) defined as the ratio of the inductance (L) to the resistance (R) in the circuit. It represents the time it takes for the current in the inductor to reach approximately 63.2% of its maximum value or decay to 36.8% during discharging.
AC Steady State:
In the steady state (after transient effects have diminished), the current and voltage oscillate in an RL circuit, but the current lags behind the voltage due to the inductive reactance. The circuit will reach a constant amplitude of current, and the phase relationship between voltage and current remains constant.
Overall, an RL circuit connected to an AC power source behaves as a low-pass filter, allowing low-frequency AC signals to pass more easily compared to higher frequencies. The behavior of the circuit is determined by the values of resistance (R) and inductance (L), as well as the frequency of the AC power source.

The invention relates to a changeover device which uses both analog and digital signals as input signals and supplies an analog output signal.
Such a changeover device can be used wherever an analog output signal has to be available for further processing and the analog output signal can be obtained both from a digital input signal and from an analog input signal.
In television technology, analog and digital signals are often processed at the same time. The video signal which is broadcast by the television stations for the purpose of television picture transmission, is converted into the baseband in a television receiver and is present as a color, video, blanking, syncs signal (CVBS), has an analog nature. If the picture information of the CVBS signal is intended to be processed further, it is frequently converted into a digital video signal in order to utilize the advantages of digital signal processing. Picture-in-picture insertions constitute an example of this. The analog picture information of an additional picture which is intended to be inserted into a main picture as a picture that is reduced in size is processed after analog-to-digital conversion. The processing of the digital video signal may serve for example for matching the format of the additional picture to the main picture. After processing, the digital video signal is converted back into an analog video signal, from which RGB signals are generated which can be fed to a picture tube.
The amplitude of the RGB signals should be independent of whether they are obtained directly from an analog signal or from an analog signal after analog-to-digital conversion and subsequent digital-to-analog conversion.
It is accordingly an object of the invention to provide a changeover device for analog and digital signals, which overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages of the heretofore-known devices and methods of this general type and which generates from both analog and digital input signals an analog output signal the amplitude of which is independent of whether it is obtained from the analog or the digital input signal.
With the foregoing and other objects in view there is provided, in accordance with the invention, a changeover device, comprising:
a digital signal input for receiving a digital input signal, an analog signal input for receiving an analog input signal, and an output for outputting an analog output signal;
a digital-to-analog converter connected to the digital signal input;
a driver driving the output of the changeover device and having an input;
the digital-to-analog converter having a voltage divider connected between a reference-ground voltage and the driver, wherein a division ratio can be set in dependence on the digital input signal and a part of the reference-ground voltage determined by the division ratio can be fed to the input of the driver; and
a switch connected between the analog signal input and the input of the driver for selectively supplying the analog input signal to the driver.
In other words, the objects of the invention are satisfied by a changeover device having inputs for a digital input signal and an analog input signal and having an output for an analog output signal, and also having a digital-to-analog converter, which has a voltage divider between a driver and a reference-ground voltage, whose division ratio can be set in dependence on the digital input signals, and via which a part of the reference-ground voltage, which part is determined by the division ratio, can be fed to an input of the driver, the input for the analog input signal being connected via a first switch to the input of the driver and the driver supplying the analog output signal on the output side.
The invention has the advantage that it manages with just one driver for the analog and the digital input signal. A further advantage of the changeover device according to the invention is the fact that analog input signals having different levels can be used.
In accordance with an added feature of the invention, a second switch and a limiting resistor are connected between the analog signal input and the voltage divider.
In accordance with an additional feature of the invention, the voltage divider contains a series circuit of resistors.
The second switch is closed when a CVBS signal is clamped at an input quiescent level in the event of using a video signal as analog input signal.
In accordance with another feature of the invention, a further digital-to-analog converter supplies the reference-ground voltage. The further digital-to-analog converter is connected to a reference voltage and is adapted to adjust the reference-ground voltage in steps.
In accordance with a further feature of the invention, the further digital-to-analog converter contains at least three series-connected converter resistors and at least one switch series comprising selector switches, the selector switches each being connected to one another on one side and between two converter resistors, respectively, on the other side.
In accordance with again another feature of the invention, the at least one switch series are three switch series.
In accordance with a concomitant feature of the invention, the digital input signal is a digital video signal for generating a main picture and the analog input signal is an analog video signal for an additional picture selectively insertable into the main picture.
Furthermore, the reference-ground voltage is preferably adjusted by means of a further digital-to-analog converter. That voltage can be altered in the course of operation.
Other features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in the appended claims.
Although the invention is illustrated and described herein as embodied in a changeover device for analog and digital signals, it is nevertheless not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims.
The construction and method of operation of the invention, however, together with additional objects and advantages thereof will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a circuit schematic of a changeover device according to the invention; and
FIG. 2 is a circuit schematic of a circuit for generating a reference voltage.
Referring now to the figures of the drawing in detail and first, particularly, to FIG. 1 thereof, there is seen a changeover device according to the invention with a first digital-to-analog converter 3. The latter has a series circuit of resistors 4 across which a reference-ground voltage URG from a voltage source is present. The connection paths (nodes) between the resistors 4 are each connected to one side of a converter switch 5. The other side of each converter switch 5 is connected to a node 10, which represents the output of the first digital-to-analog converter 3. This is connected to the input of a driver 7. An analog output signal can be picked off at the output 11 of the driver 7.
The series circuit comprising the resistors 4 forms a first voltage divider. Depending on the value of a digital input signal at an input 1 of the first digital-to-analog converter 3, one of the converter switches 5 is closed and, as a result, the division ratio of the first voltage divider is set. Depending on which of the converter switches 5 is closed, a voltage of varying magnitude is present across the input of the driver 7. The largest voltage at the input of the driver 7 occurs when the input of the driver 7 is directly connected to the voltage source having the reference-ground voltage URG.
The node 10 is additionally connected via a first switch 6 to an input 2 for an analog input signal. The input 2 is connected via a second switch 8 and a current limiting resistor 9, which is connected in series with the latter, to one of the connection paths between the resistors 4. This connection path is the connection path after the first resistor of the series circuit comprising the resistors 4, which first resistor is directly connected to the lower potential of the reference-ground voltage URG.
In order to provide the reference-ground voltage URG, it is possible to use a circuit for generating the reference-ground voltage according to FIG. 2. The circuit has a second digital-to-analog converter 12, which includes series-connected converter resistors 13. The latter form a second voltage divider. A reference voltage UREF is present across said second voltage divider. The series-connected converter resistors 13 are connected to a first switch series 14 and to a second switch series 15.
The first switch series 14 contains first selector switches which are each connected by one side to the connection paths between in each case two of the series-connected converter resistors 13, and are each connected by their other side to a second node 16. Second selector switches of the second switch series 15 are likewise each connected by one side to the connection paths between in each case two of the series-connected converter resistors 13, and are each connected by the other side to a third node 17. The node 16 represents a first output, at which a first adjustable output voltage is made available, and the node 17 represents a second output, at which a second adjustable output voltage is made available. The output voltages can each be used as reference-ground voltage URG.
The switch series 14 and 15 can be driven independently of one another. The driving is effected in each case by means of digital signals, a specific voltage magnitude being assigned to a specific digital signal value. The method of operation of the second digital-to-analog converter 12 corresponds to that of the first digital-to-analog converter 3. The first output voltage of the circuit 12 can be adjusted via the first switch series 14, and the second output voltage of the circuit 12 can be adjusted via the switch series 15. The series-connected converter resistors 13 therefore serve for the mutually independent adjustment of two output voltages. By analogy with the first and second switch series 14, 15, it is also possible to provide further switch series in order to be able to adjust further output voltages.
The circuit for generating the reference-ground voltage URG according to FIG. 2 enables a plurality of changeover devices according to FIG. 1 to be operated, for example one each for a video signal which contains the picture information for the picture component in one of the three primary colors red, green and blue.
For example, an analog video signal for an additional picture which is intended to be inserted into a main picture is applied to the input 2 for the analog input signal. A video signal for the main picture is present for example in digital form at the input 1 for the digital input signal. The first digital-to-analog converter 3 supplies, at the first node 10, an output voltage whose magnitude differs from the value of the digital video signal at the input 1 for the digital input signal and from the magnitude of the reference-ground voltage URG. This is set by means of the second digital-to-analog converter 12. For this purpose, for example, the switch series 14 is driven by a digital signal which serves for setting the reference-ground voltage URG, such that the division ratio of the second voltage divider of the second digital-to-analog converter 12 assumes a specific division ratio. Given this specific division ratio, the reference-ground voltage URG is available at the second node 16 with a value which corresponds to the applied digital signal for setting the reference-ground voltage URG. The magnitude of the reference-ground voltage URG is preferably chosen such that the output voltage at the node 10 of the first digital-to-analog converter 3 has a maximum amplitude which largely corresponds to that of the analog input signal at the input 2. The level of the output signal at the output 11 for the analog output signal is then independent of whether the driver 7 amplifies a signal which originates from the analog video signal for the additional picture or from the digital video signal for the main picture. It is presupposed here that the analog video signal has a constant level.
If the first switch 6 is closed and the digital video signal for the main picture has a value in the case of which all the converter switches 5 are open, the analog video signal for the additional picture is amplified by the driver 7 and fed to the output 11. In the event of an open first switch 6 and a value of the digital video signal for the main picture in the case of which one of the converter switches 5 is closed, the analog video signal for the main picture, which analog video signal is obtained from the digital video signal for the main picture, is fed via the driver 7 to the output 11.
The first switch 6 and the second switch 8 have to be rated only for the analog video signal in respect of the current-carrying capacity.
The second switch 8 is closed only when the analog input signal at the input 2 is intended to be clamped.
In order to be able to correctly further process the information items contained in a CVBS signal, signal separation of the individual information items is necessary. This means that the CVBS signal must be referred to a uniform level, this being referred to as clamping. Clamping circuits are known for the purpose of clamping; they are not described in any detail here.
The driver 7 may comprise an operation amplifier which has feedback to its inverting input.

The Red Electrick Experience
Red Electrick ~ Vine Lady Album Launch - Tattingers, Rabat 24/09/2010 (Dean Muscat)
Over the past two years Red Electrick have risen from relative obscurity to being one of the hottest bands on the island. With four consecutive number 1 singles on local radio charts and countless gigs at home and overseas, Red Electrick's brand of rock music appears to be resonating with everyone in their wake. This special event at Tattingers nightclub in Rabat marks the release of the band's debut album Vine Lady, and as frontman Matthew James Borg explains is "the most important thing we have done in our lives."
Before the show there is an unmistakable feeling of subdued suspense among the band. Each of the five musicians seems to be torn between the necessity of staying focused on their upcoming performance and the desire to greet their friends and fans. Consequently they spend the almost entire duration of opening-act Dolls for Idols' set moving between the backstage area, where they try to quiet their minds and get in the zone, and the merchandise-booth, rowdy with the hustle and bustle of the entering crowd; hence rendering their backstage meditations quite futile.
However as their time draws nearer, all five musicians finally gather backstage. Huddled in a circle they psyche themselves up, the adrenaline running through their system apparent in their movements. The expectant crowd start to syllabically chant out the band's name; "RED-E-LEC-TRICK!" With the final glow of Matt's cigarette and a fiery introduction from friend of the band Paul Borg Bonaci, Red Electrick individually take the stage, tearing into album title-track Vine Lady.
Any pre-gig anxieties melt away seconds into the band's set. Bassist Ivan Borg, wearing his mandatory flat cap, locks into groove with drummer Raphael Tonna. The two guitarists, beanie-clad Jonas Delicata and shaggy-haired Peter Borg, let the high-octane riffs rip. There's an air of confidence about the band that is usually attributed to acts twice their age, and they occupy the stage with flair and purpose. After their second song of the night and latest single to hit local airwaves Jail Bail, there's a glint of a satisfied smile on the face of Matthew James Borg. "This is a good feeling, a really good feeling," he exclaims. The crowd also seem to be experiencing this very same "good feeling," especially those right in front of the stage who have been jumping and singing non-stop with an astonishing devotion.
During the final weeks leading up to the album release, Red Electrick announced that one of their new tracks would feature a guest singer, leading to a flurry of speculation on the band's Facebook page. Tonight it’s finally revealed that it is Ray Mercieca, lead vocalist of veteran local ska band The Riffs, who guests on new number It's a Shame. To the delight of many he also joins the band for a (no pun intended) electrifying live rendition of aforementioned track that reaches a cacophonous climax. Other new tracks Dimensions and Pick Up the Phone continue to add further musical inflections to the band's already reasonably eclectic rock sound.
Quite bizarrely for a band called Red Electrick, their onstage electricity cuts out during the percussive intro to the band's encore Who the Heck is REK!?, forcing Raphael to give an impromptu acoustic drum solo. Remarkably the band still somehow manages to keep the crowd rocking until the problem is solved. Matt shouts out the infectious hook "Do the robot!" and the band launches back into the song and finish off all guns firing. As soon as they come off stage they hurriedly open a celebratory bottle of beer each, no time to rest they shoot off to the merchandise booth to sign copies of their album for waiting fans.
The night has been a success for Red Electrick and you only have to look at their faces to understand how grateful they are to be able to finally share the fruits of two long years of labour with friends. They are one of those privileged bands that have a certain something (dare we call it X-factor?). Whenever the five of them are together - be it rocking on stage or casually hanging out - they emanate an irresistible chemistry that makes you want to be part of the Red Electrick experience. Thankfully for those partaking, the experience has only really just begun.

Many states have passed anti-discrimination laws prohibiting businesses from discriminating against the LGBT community. Some businesses have said they should be able to discriminate against that community because of their religion. A Colorado baker used such a claim to refuse to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. The Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled that the baker had violated the law, and that decision was upheld by an appeals court. That decision was then appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
On Monday, the Supreme Court issued their ruling. The overturned the decision of the appeals court, finding in favor of the baker. But this decision should not be cause for celebration by the religious right, or condemnation by Americans opposed to discrimination -- because the Supreme Court did NOT decide the most important question (whether businesses can discriminate by hiding behind religion).
The court's 7-2 decision was a very narrow one, and applies only to this one case. Writing for the majority, Justice Kennedy said:
The state laws preventing businesses from discriminating (even through religion) are still in effect -- including the Colorado law. While both sides had hoped the Supreme Court would rule on the legality of the state laws against discrimination, the court didn't do that. They wimped out.
Only three justices were brave enough to decide the real issue. Justice Thomas, who voted with the majority, did so because he believes businesses should be able to discriminate against LGBT people on religious grounds. Justice Ginsberg and Sotomayor stood up against discrimination, saying:
"When a couple contacts a bakery for a wedding cake, the product they are seeking is a cake celebrating their wedding -- not a cake celebrating heterosexual weddings or same-sex weddings -- and that is the service (the couple) were denied."
The six justices who dodged the question should be ashamed of themselves for their cowardice. Discrimination by a business is not OK, even when disguised as religion.

Sometimes, an act of infidelity can lead to a prompt and bitter breakup. Other times, couples just gradually drift apart and eventually realize they’re better off separated. Many couples waver back and forth when thinking about divorce and consider several different factors. Ideally, this decision would be clear-cut, but reality is much more ambiguous. Divorce has so many serious ramifications that it is an extremely scary leap to make. Divorce is not always black-and-white; a lot can happen in between the time people to decide to divorce and the actual finalization of the divorce.
Sometimes during this process, couples will try to reconcile their differences and try to save the marriage. How do you know if this is the right thing to do? In my opinion, divorce should be considered a last option, but how can you tell if it’s worth trying to fix your relationship or if your marriage is past the point of saving? I advise my clients to not make any impulsive decisions and give this some deep thought.
If you are considering reconciling with your wife, here are some questions to ask:
- Which one of you ended the relationship and why? Have you been able to talk openly and honestly about what went wrong? If not, reconciliation is a mistake.
- How have each of you changed since the relationship ended? Do you think these changes have moved you closer together or further apart? Will these changes positively or negatively affect the reconciliation?
- How are your wants and needs different now than they were when you were initially attracted to each other? Is your current attraction to each other based on what you both wanted/needed when you first met, or are you attracted to the people that you’ve both grown to be? Would you be as willing to consider a relationship with your ex if you were meeting him or her for the first time?
- Do you believe that each of you did all that you could do to save the relationship when you were in it? If not, why not? If so, what is different now? What new skills or resources do you have available to you, that you each are willing to use, to make the relationship work that you didn’t utilize before?
- What has changed in your relationship? If nothing has changed then it’s likely a mistake to reconcile.
- What is the real reason you are considering a reconciliation? Sometimes, people miss the idea of their ex. Once you’re satisfied with your answer to that question, ask what has changed since you broke up that is likely to increase your chances of success the next time around?
If a reconciliation is still a possibility, ask your ex the same questions and insist on emotionally honest answers. At this point you’ll probably have a pretty good idea of what the right decision is for you.

Italian consumer cooperative Nova Coop has allocated a €200 bonus for approximately 5,000 employees and workers on a continuous basis, for a total value of approximately €1 million.
Allocated by the Nova Coop chairman, in agreement with the board of directors, the bonus aims to help meet rising costs of goods and services that is eroding the purchasing power of families.
Nova Aeg, which is a company operating in the electricity and gas sector controlled by Nova Coop, has also extended this bonus to its approximately 50 staff members, Nova Coop noted.
'Well Aware Of The Combined Effects'
Nova Coop president, Ernesto Dalle Rive, stated, "As a large-scale distribution company, we are well aware of the combined effects that the difficulties in supplying the logistics chains of raw materials, the increase in energy sources and the war in Ukraine have triggered, leading to the current inflationary dynamic which manifests itself in a generalised increase in prices and which, in recent months, we have been the first to work to mitigate, absorbing part of the price rises and accepting the reduction in our margins."
The consumer cooperative reported total consolidated sales of €1.8 billion and a net profit of €16.3 million for its full-year 2021.
The group's e-commerce channel continued the growth trend seen during the pandemic (+11.1%), while home grocery delivery now covers 300 municipalities in the five Piedmont provinces of Turin, Novara, Vercelli, Biella and Cuneo.

For the newest Nike Sportswear x Carhartt WIP launch, we asked six relevant local artists to interpret the products through their individual art approach. Following our mission „from the streets, for the streets“, we now aim to give our activation a more sustainable meaning by auctioning the art works and donating the proceeds to homeless Viennese. Read along to do something good!
Last week we celebrated the launch of the latest Nike x Carhartt WIP collection with an instore event at our solebox store in Vienna. Six local artists interpreted the products through their individual angle, while some of them even manufactured their art works live at the event getting the guests involved into the entire production process. Let us give you guys a big thank you at this point for stepping by and spending the night with us.
Following our mission „from the streets, for the streets“, we now intend to auction off the art works for the sake of homeless Viennese adults. As nothing is more valuable than finding a warm sleep and having access to food during these cold winter days, we mutually decided with the local artists and Nike Sportswear to transfer the entire returns to Caritas Vienna.
In the following we want to show you all the different art works so you can pick your favorite before submitting your bid. For all Viennese people out here, you can also still marvel at the canvas in our Vienna store within the next week. So don’t hesistate to try your luck on getting your hands on one of these incredibly nice pieces of art while equally making an effort for the homeless.
A special thanks goes definitely out to our highly talented artists @paul.busk, @sskirl, @kyros_kyros, @amoakoboafo and @fatis_gram who put all their efforts in helping us to support homeless teenagers to find a place to sleep. You guys are precious!
How to bid for you favorite drawing:
- With the proceeds we want to support homeless Viennese adults in cooperation with Caritas Vienna. All donations are transferred 100%. The auction starts Dec. 12th and ends Dec. 19th. Once the auction has ended, the highest bidder will be informed instantly by our auction platform ebay. The pictures have to be picked up at the store or transports will be charged extra.
Refer to our newest blog article about the final sum of donations we proudly handed over to Caritas Berlin.

Can you be a nurse anesthetist with a DNP?
There are two common types of doctoral degrees for aspiring CRNAs: the Doctorate of Nurse Practice (DNP) and the Doctorate of Nursing Anesthesia Practice (DNAP). Individuals who do not have a degree as a nurse anesthetist but a Master’s degree in another nursing-related field can obtain a DNP.
Can you go from BSN to CRNA?
Become a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) To become a nurse anesthetist, you must have a registered nurse (RN) license and a master’s degree from an accredited MSN program with a CRNA program.
How long is a DNP CRNA program?
Is CRNA school harder than nursing?
So, is CRNA school harder than nursing school? The simple answer is yes. But, for some students it might be of similar difficulty. The main difference between CRNA school and nursing school is that CRNA school builds upon knowledge you should already have.
Why is CRNA school so difficult?
CRNA school is so hard because of the massive amount of information that students have to retain. Many of these programs require that students complete their clinical experiences in conjunction with coursework so some students may attend school for half of the day and clinical experiences the other half of the day.
What GPA do you need for CRNA school?
Is a 3.7 GPA good for CRNA school?
The average GPA of students who are accepted into CRNA schools ranges from 3.4 – 3.7. BEFORE you re-take any classes or attempt to improve your GPA, make sure it is POSSIBLE for you to raise your GPA enough to get accepted.
Can Crna be called Doctor?
Many patients do not know what a Doctorate of Nursing is, and what that entails with their practice. Most patients, when meeting someone with the title “doctor,” assume the person is an MD. So, the short answer is yes – a DNP nurse may be referred to as “doctor,” however, some states have legislation surrounding this.
What is the number 1 nursing school in Texas?
Texas A&M University Texas A&M University’s College of Nursing is recognized as one of the best nursing schools in Texas and the country. Texas A&M’s College of Nursing offers several baccalaureate degree programs – a traditional path, an RN to BSN, and as a second degree.
What is the easiest nursing school to get into in Texas?
EASIEST NURSING SCHOOLS TO GET INTO
|SCHOOL||# OF NURSING STUDENTS||BSN NCLEX 1ST TIME PASS RATE|
|Herzing University – Madison||248||53%|
|The University of Texas at El Paso||445||98%|
Is Baylor nursing hard to get into?
Admission to the School of Nursing is competitive, and priority is given to applicants that have taken at least 32 credits of their 66 credits of general education classes at Baylor in Waco. To be eligible to apply, students must have a 3.0 GPA, with all grades being at least a C.
Is it hard to get into TWU nursing school?
scores admitted are around 87%. TWU by the application deadline will receive additional points towards getting in to the nursing program. The program is highly competitive, so the higher your GPA and TEAS scores, and the more preferences you have, the greater your chance of being admitted.
How long is RN school in Texas?
Is TWU a good nursing school?
TWU is also one of the top schools in the state for nursing research, with research being conducted in areas like women’s health and quality patient outcomes. This school is worth paying attention to for anyone looking to get a graduate degree.
What is the number 1 nursing school in the US?
The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing
Is nursing school difficult?
You’re headed for a great career, one that’s rewarding, challenging, and always exciting. But nursing school is notoriously difficult. Most nursing programs require high GPAs and impressive scores in math, chemistry, biology, psychology, and other demanding subjects. It’s also extremely fulfilling.
Is Community College Nursing School Hard?
Nursing programs at community colleges are notoriously competitive, requiring high GPAs. Registered nurses are in high demand, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting the profession to grow 19.4 percent over the next seven years.
Is it hard to get a nursing job with an associate degree?
Now, fewer nursing jobs are available for those with less than a Bachelor’s Degree. It will become even harder to find work in nursing with only an Associate’s Degree before long. Nurses who want to work in hospitals should consider having an Associate’s Degree only as a means to gain an entry level position.
Why is nursing so hard to get into?
Nursing offers practical, high-demand skills, a high entry salary and a chance to deliver care to those in need. Nurses’ schedules are onerous and demanding but, in many instances, offer three days on duty and four days off. A B.S.N.

TONOPAH – A Phoenix woman has been charged in a July 2 fatal three-vehicle collision on Interstate 10 near Tonopah that killed six and injured five more.
According to a release from the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS), Iyona Holton, 35, of Phoenix, was arrested and booked into the Maricopa County Jail on four counts of aggravated assault – Class-2 felonies, and one count each of possession of a dangerous drug, and possession of drug paraphernalia – Class-6 felonies.
Holton was driving a GMC Envoy westbound on I-10 on Friday, July 2, at about 1:20 p.m. when she and a Nissan Altima drove into and through the dirt median, a marked “No U-Turn” zone, to turn around onto eastbound I-10. When doing so, both vehicles were struck by an eastbound commercial tractor-trailer.
Holton and her four passengers were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of serious injuries. Upon her release from the hospital on Thursday, July 8, Holton was arrested and booked into jail.
The driver of the Nissan, Natisha Nicole Moffett, 35, of Phoenix, and her five passengers were all killed in the collision and were declared deceased at the scene.
The incident is still under investigation by DPS.

This paper presents a study regarding initial off-line tuning for the constant parameters of a self-tuning controller. The main characteristic of a self-tuning controller is the on-line adaptation of their parameters values to the process changes. However some parameters must be imposed off-line, their values remaining unchanged. Several study cases regarding choosing proper values for two of these initialization parameters - forgetting factor (parameter of the recursive least square parameters estimator) and control penalty factor (parameter of control law), particularized to the self-tuning excitation control of a synchronous generator are presented.

Demonetisation: Why should poor be only ones to make sacrifices for Modi's mission?
Already some 50-odd people have died as a result of demonetisation
Suspicions grow when the ruling classes urge the public to put up with, or even agree to become, “collateral damage” in the interest of the “greater national good”. No special insight is needed to know that it is almost always the most vulnerable sections of the population that end up becoming the “collateral damage” that ruling elites demand in the implementation of grand projects — particularly those infused with missionary zeal. Or even projects that, as political analyst Pratap Bhanu Mehta has observed in his column in The Indian Express, have become the “personification” of the initiator — in this case, Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The bar, in such circumstances, moves to an all-time high. As Mehta writes: “With personification comes a punitive imagination. The state is telling you that the honest have nothing to fear. But there is every sign of unleashing the worst aspects of the Indian state on even ordinary citizens.”
Already some 50-odd people have died as a result of demonetisation. On the other hand, because they can leverage power and have access to wealth, privilege and contacts, the intended targets of Modi’s demonetisation policy are not going to financially haemorrhage to death . Many among them must already by now have found ways to hoodwink the government. They have long been masters at this game. The government seems to be operating under the illusion that India’s “robust” systems cannot be circumvented.
It’s hardly a surprise that the poor and vulnerable are the ones paying – many literally with their lives – to make Modi’s deeply personalised mission succeed, at least in the short–term. Surely such levels of human suffering can’t be shrugged off as a paltry matter of “inconvenience,”or explained using the normative, dry, business-as-usual logic of “collateral damage”. What happened to all that rhetoric of a “caring” dispensation? A government that truly cares for the weaker sections of society — those least equipped to withstand such sudden assaults on their lives — would have retrained itself from moving ahead with such a ruthless drive as this.
The closest parallel to such heavy-handed policy implementation is found in the manner in which Bihar’s chief minister Nitish Kumar pushed through the recent prohibition law. Its draconian “guilty by association” provision criminalises not just the drinker or the alcoholic, but the family members of such a person as well. Like the prime minister, the Bihar chief minister also made prohibition his personal mission, regardless of the countless field reports revealing its dark consequences, and drawing attention to the prohibition law’s sweeping punitive clauses. No surprise therefore that Nitish is perhaps the only Opposition leader to have warmly endorsed the demonetisation drive.
The drive itself is stamped with the unmistakable personal imprint of the prime minister. In a highly dramatic move, Modi recently, spoke about the “sacrifices” he has made to serve this nation. His critics can argue that the prime minister made a conscious decision to become a politician, and it is to that end that he made those “sacrifices”. No one compelled Modi to serve the nation! Who can deny that a gulf of difference separates the “sacrifices” made by Modi and those affected by his demonetisation policy. While the prime chose his path, others are being forced to adopt one over which they have no control.
The fact is that many facing the brunt of this policy have had no choice other than forced-sacrifice: Whether it is the daily-wage worker, the shopkeeper, or the vast multitude of people who have no resources to cushion the sudden battering to which they have been subjected. Stories of how the underclasses are at their wits’ end struggling to make ends meet are pouring in from all over the country. The proverbial stick-and-carrot policy at present, seems to be all sticks and no carrot.
Even if the big fish among the black money owners and tax evaders are temporarily hit, they will rebound. But outside those rarefied circles, the repercussions of such a mammoth project will be felt deeply and for a much longer span of time.
Last but not least, the danger underlying all such projects imbued with personification of powerful leaders, cannot be underplayed. As Mehta has written:
“The personification of policy works at different levels. To work as a national project, all individuality, all questions of distributive consequences, have to be effaced. Every citizen will appear, alternatively, as a patriot or a criminal: The histories of their individual life worlds, whether they have bank accounts, how much cash they use, how far they live from an ATM, all these questions pertinent to the distributive consequences of these actions will be immobilised.”
As he comes out with his latest book, The Hindutva Paradigm, Firstpost talks to him about various issues, including Deendayal Upadhyaya’s Integral Humanism, the recent killings of Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley

Nikki is a Yoga Teacher and Writer living on the east coast of Nova Scotia. She came to yoga in 2011, craving an activity to get her out of the house and drawn by both the strength, grace and challenge of arm balances and inversions, and a desire to finally forge a path to peace and happiness in her life. She quickly fell in love with the practice of yoga as a whole and how it enriched all facets of her life, and though she still loves the physical challenges it presents she has come to appreciate the mental, spiritual and philosophical aspects of the practice most of all.
Through yoga she found her way, slowly, towards self-realization and peace and has overcome addiction, found her way to self-love in her forties, and so much more because of the practice. Her classes are often infused with this honest and authentic take on how yoga has real impacts in real time on our lives, our struggles and our triumphs.
Nikki's first novel A Momentary Darkness was released in 2018 through Thorncraft Publishing. She wrote the first draft in her mid twenties and over the next 15 years she worked on it off and on, convinced it would never be published and yet also certain the story was meant to have a life beyond her. In 2017 she submitted a short piece to a collection of writings on yoga and when the publisher, Shana Thornton, realized she'd written novels she asked if she could read one. A year later Nikki signed her first book contract and was finally gifted with the certainty that story and its characters were meant to find many people out in the world.
Here second book The Beginning's End, the follow up to A Momentary Darkness, will be released in 2021 and she couldn't be happier to share more of this amazing story with the world. She has written a children's book, numerous screenplays and novels and hopes over the coming years to share as much of it as possible with the world.
Nikki is an inspired and creative teacher with a passion for learning and a desire to offer her students the time and space to land, experience their breath and be present in their bodies despite the distractions of the mind. She is an E-RYT 200hr with more than 3000 hours of in room and studio teaching experience including assisting a 200hr YTT with one of her teachers, Leslie Bishop. She is in the midst of completing her 300hr YTT and is also a committed student of ParaYoga, a lineage of Tantra Yoga, which honours tradition in a way that's relevant to the modern world and that she has felt called to pursue. With more than 700 hours of training with some amazing teachers she is just at the beginning of her learning and teaching journey and feels humbled by the opportunity to offer what she knows and is passionate about. She has been a lululemon ambassador since 2016 and continues to be a leader in her local community in various ways.
As a writer and storyteller, she loves the idea that a yoga class can lead you somewhere, that you can tell a story with body and breath and she believes the same well of inspiration she draws her stories and words from help her to craft meaningful classes and hold space for transformation. Whether it’s a couple of people or a crowded room, she tries to pass along the greatest gift this practice has given her, “Ultimately this is a practice of connectivity. It connects us with the world. It connects us with ourselves. And it connects us with each other.

My X-t30 no longer lets me record video. Nothing happens when I push the shutter button in video mode.
- My main use for this camera is for recording video projects at my workplace.
- I noticed the issue after using the camera as a webcam with a elgato camlink 4k. I had optimised the in-camera settings for use as a webcam during the past months of Zooming everyday.
My attempted fixes so far:
- I reverted all my in-camera settings back to my usual, non-webcam settings.
- I updated the firmware to the latest version.
- Many google searches to see if anyone else has had and posted a fix to this issue.
I have a Fuji XT-30 and I am looking to tether my camera to my Mac to be able to utilize Lightroom.
I have found this wonderful software called "FUJIFILM X Acquire" but I am unable to get it to work. I can backup my settings on my camera to my Mac but I cannot specify a "Destination Folder" it is greyed out.
I also do not have the option on my XT-30 in my SET UP > CONNECTION SETTINGS > CONNECTION MODE to select any tethered options. I only have:
USB CARD READER
USB MOVIE SHOOTING AUTO
USB MOVIE SHOOTING FIXED
USB RAW CONV. /BACKUP RESTORE
I was wondering if any of your have utilized this setup or if there is alternate software i should be using.
Also, I was wondering if i should be connecting via Micro HDMI port or the USB C port on the XT-30?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thankyou for your reply.
It has been a while since I posted this request and I have worked out back button focussing. I use single focussing in conjunction with the AEL/AFL button. I do appreciate your reply however, it was good of you.
