Last week, many were bracing for a razor-thin election in Florida like the ones in 2018 and 2000. Some people feared that the eligibility of Florida’s newly enfranchised felons could be called into question. Thousands could have cast votes despite owing court fees and fines; a controversial 2019 law passed by GOP lawmakers required that those fees and fines had to be paid first. Neither happened. President Donald Trump won the state by more than 370,000 votes, a blowout by Florida standards. The people who helped register people with felony records are feeling relieved, the Miami Herald reports. “We’re happy that the ‘returning citizen’ experience this election cycle was one of celebration and not one filled with acrimony and partisanship,” said Neil Volz of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, whose voting rights were also restored last year.
The coalition was instrumental in passing a 2018 ballot measure known as Amendment 4, which overturned the state’s 150-year-old ban on voting for people with felony convictions. Florida was the last large state to disenfranchise people with felony convictions, and its passage was celebrated as the nation’s greatest expansion of voting rights in decades. Since Amendment 4 passed in November 2018, 80,000 people with felony convictions have registered to vote. The group estimates that 50,000 voted in the general election, a turnout rate just over 62 percent. That would be much higher than felon turnout rates in the past. Many of those 50,000 were voting in a general election for the first time in their lives, Volz said. “Our folks were willing to run through a brick wall to vote,” he said. “We could feel that excitement and see that excitement.”

The Source magazine used to be considered the Hip-Hop Bible, and it wasn’t hyperbole. At the height of its influence, The Source Awards was a mainstay, and the ceremony honoring the accomplishments of rappers and the culture is set to return next year after a hiatus of almost two decades.
“Hip-hop needs its premiere awards show back,” L. Londell McMillan, the current CEO and owner of The Source, recently told Page Six, “After every awards show, our social media at The Source explodes … so back by popular demand.”
Reportedly, the brand is also launching a streaming channel.
The last proper Source Awards went down 17 years ago.
Perhaps its most infamous moment was at the 1995 Source Awards when the currently incarcerated Suge Knight called out Sean “Diddy” Combs from the stage, urging rappers who were tired of seeing the Bad Boy Records founder dance in videos and talk on all the records to come on over to Death Row Records.
Another famed moment at the same show in 1995 when a young Andre 3000 was ready for the smoke when heads dared to boo OutKast after the group won Best New Artist – Group. The South got something to say.
The first Source Awards was in 1994 and the last would be 10 years later. McMillan purchased The Source in 2008, after the original owner and founder Dave Mays (and Benzino) had been forced to cede control of the brand by its board of directors a couple of years prior.
The next edition of The Source Awards, if all goes to plan, will go down in 2022.
A The Source rep told Page Six, “It’s finally black-owned for the first time. He has quietly been bringing it back from financial disrepair and catapulting it into the digital age, tripling its reach and cleaning up its act.”
We shall see.

60 Minutes: Robin Hood
A man worth $3.6 billion was profiled on 60 Minutes, not for making money but for spending it. Scott Pelley spoke with Paul Tudor Jones, a hedge fund manager who was inspired to start giving back. Despite the vast wealth and brainpower of New York City, Tudor Jones is concerned that so many of the city’s residents live in poverty. This is what he is doing about it.
60 Minutes: Paul Tudor Jones
In 1988, Paul Tudor Jones started the Robin Hood Foundation, which has since given away $1.25 billion for job training, food programs, and charter schools. How does this rich man give to the poor and take from the rich in modern day America?
The charity’s annual fundraiser plays host to 4,000 extremely wealthy guests, including celebrities and wealthy business figures. They all come out to a concert-style night of entertainment, where Tudor Jones hopes to help those in need around the city.
60 Minutes: Robin Hood Inspiration
Tudor Jones said there are many people in the New York City area who need to be given some hope for the future. In the 1980s, Jones was focused on himself and his future as a Wall Street investor.
His mother had hoped he would become a preacher; that’s funny–so did mine. In 1986, the successful Tudor Jones watched an episode of 60 Minutes, about Gene Lang, a rich man who offered free college tuition to students in Harlem.
That immediately inspired Tudor Jones to call Lang and take action. But what clicked with the Wall Street guy in that moment? He said that this idea filled a hole in his soul he did not know needed to be filled.
60 Minutes: Investing In Education
His first step was to adopt a school, thinking money could make the difference. The time and money that he put in did not ultimately pay off with better academic performance.
“Failure, a lot of times, is the fire that forges the steel for success,” he said of the setback. “It becomes transformative.”
That’s when Tudor Jones got creative, setting up the Robin Hood Foundation and looking for charitable investments that foster great ideas and measure success in business terms.
60 Minutes: Robin Hood Foundation Soup Kitchen
Take Mary Alice Hannan’s soup kitchen: it was on the brink for many years, until Robin Hood stepped in. The love-hate relationship began almost immediately, as Robin Hood wanted hard data and a business plan. That was a dramatic shift for the business that was operating day to day in the past.
According to Tudor Jones, they held grantees accountable for their goals, while providing the business and management expertise to help them achieve results. Hannan’s soup kitchen ended up thriving, but that is not always the case.
As many as 10% of projects are defunded every year due to unsuccessful results. But Robin Hood continues to press on and look for new ways to make a difference.
60 Minutes: Robin Hood Foundation Projects
The board of directors has a combined net worth of $25 billion. All the donations to the organization go directly to services, with the board covering the organization’s operating expenses and keeping Robin Hood true to its name.
“You cannot have significance in this life if it’s all about you,” Tudor Jones said. His most recent gala raised $57 million in donations, which would fund about 500 projects, many in education.
A former Brooklyn crack house has been turned into a neighborhood school. The Excellence Boys Charter School for kindergarten through 8th grade. Tudor Jones believed that early education is a start to transformative change outside the classroom and success in life.
60 Minutes: Brooklyn School Shooting
Scholars in the school perform higher than average in math, science, and English. They are engaged in the classroom, despite humble beginnings.
One student’s father was killed a block away from the school in a murder witnessed by two students. The school has pressed on in this challenging environment. The school’s headmaster took the incident as a reminder of the importance of education in changing lives in these neighborhoods.
60 Minutes: Excellence Boys Charter School Graduation
The school is graduating its first class of students who went from kindergarten through eighth grade at the school. Tudor Jones is committed to ensuring more future success at a range of projects.
However, New York City’s poverty level stays relatively constant, around 20% annually. Can this “hedge fund for humanity” pay off in the future? Even Tudor Jones admits that there will always be more to do, but it seems so far like he is having an impact.

Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor Treatment of Synthetic Municipal Wastewater at Ambient Temperature
The performance of a crossflow anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) to treat synthetic municipal wastewater was investigated at different hydraulic retention times (HRTs). The AnMBR was operated at chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading rates of 1 to 2 kg COD/m3·d for 280 days. The permeate COD concentration was always lower than 40 mg/L, and no noticeable volatile fatty acids were detected, regardless of HRT variations, while soluble COD (SCOD) was accumulated in the reactor with decreases in HRT. The particle size reduction was relatively lower than other studies reported, even after a long operation time resulting from the low operation crossflow velocity. Approximately 30% of COD was not available for methane recovery, irrespective of applied HRTs, as a result of the COD loss by dissolved methane, sulfate reduction, and untreated COD in the permeate. The fraction of methane recovered from the synthetic municipal wastewater decreased from 48 to 35%, with the decrease of HRT from 12 to 6 hours, as a result of the increase of mixed-liquor SCOD, which was rejected and accumulated in the AnMBR. Therefore, AnMBR operation with relatively long HRTs and SRTs may be favorable, to enhance methane recovery and reduce or eliminate sludge production.

What Ohioans need to know about the marijuana legalization initiative
An Ohio group has introduced an initiated statute that would legalize recreational marijuana.
Ohio’s initiated statute process has been in the news lately, with the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol launching an effort to legalize marijuana possession and use in the state. That’s leaving a lot of Ohioans wondering – what is the initiative process and how does it work?
The initiative process in Ohio is complex and contains multiple steps.
- The petition to pass a law must get 1,000 signatures in order to be sent to the Ohio Attorney General.
- If the Attorney General approves the statutory summary, a summary of the proposed initiative, the petition moves on to the Ohio Ballot Board of the Ohio Secretary of State’s office.
- If the Ballot Board certifies the language on the petition, the petitioners must collect an additional 132,887 signatures (3% of the total votes cast for governor in 2018).
- After those signatures are verified, the initiative is sent to the Ohio General Assembly for final consideration.
- At this point, the legislature can pass the law, make changes or do nothing. If the group does not agree with the legislative activities, it can move forward with the second round of signature gathering. If the legislature declines to pass the law, or does not act at all for four months, citizens can put the initiative directly on the ballot by gathering another 132,887 signatures.
That’s where Ohio stands now in the case of the current marijuana statute. The Attorney General did not certify the summary as “fair and truthful” on August 5, thereby rejecting it. The campaign can cure the objections and resubmit to the Attorney General or aim to place the initiative on the ballot, if necessary, in the November 2022 election.
The legislation permits “controlled and regulated sales and use” of cannabis by adults aged 21 or older and legalizes home-grown marijuana with a limit of six plants per person. Among other provisions, the legislation would establish a Division of Cannabis Control within the Ohio Department of Commerce for regulation and a “cannabis social equity and jobs program” that would use new tax revenue from the sale of marijuana to help disadvantaged Ohioans get their start in the recreational marijuana industry and fund criminal justice reform efforts. The new tax revenue would be raised from a 10% tax on adult-use cannabis sales (separate from regular sales taxes, which would still apply).
Gov. John Kasich and Ohio lawmakers legalized medical marijuana in 2016, but recreational use remained illegal. “We are proposing to regulate marijuana for adult use, just like we do for alcohol. Our proposal fixes a broken system while ensuring local control, keeping marijuana out of the hands of children, and benefiting everyone,” said Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol spokesman Tom Haren.
Current Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, on the other hand, has said that categorically legalizing adult marijuana use would be “a mistake.” DeWine says he is concerned that legalizing recreational marijuana will “change the culture” among teens, leading to increased underage drug use. DeWine also worries that children could inadvertently consume foods, like candy, containing marijuana. “I just look at all the things that happen with recreational marijuana and I kind of scratch my head and I say, ‘why? Why would we want to do that?’” DeWine said in 2019.

Imagine that you are a talented artist in Asgard and the Allmother hires you to paint a picture of Prince Loki. When you work, you don’t talk much, but Loki keeps staring at you intently, fascinated by you. You often blush from his intense gaze, when your eyes meet.
During those few days that it takes to finish the painting, Loki falls in love with you as he watches you work gracefully, and you fall for him too.
What do you think Allen would be like if he lived a million years? Like, character wise.
Well, let’s follow him and see what happens.
Age ten, he doesn’t expect to live much longer. By now, he’s enjoying what time he thinks he has left, though, just learning to appreciate the world for the best parts of it.
Age twenty, he’s no longer so convinced he’s damned, but he still has that lingering wonder, that little bit of appreciation for the things he knows he won’t have forever. The best of life, of course, is his friends.
Age fifty, the generation above him - Cross, Nyne, Tiedoll - have started to die, and he mourns; the world begins to darken, and he remembers, once again, that he won’t live forever; really, he might not even live that much longer at all. Something’s strange, though…
Age one hundred, he’s long since figured out that he isn’t aging, might not die at all. His friends have almost all died, leaving their children and grandchildren behind, and he’s caught in mourning and despair. He has no idea what he’s going to do, alone in a world so different from what he once knew, in a world that’s constantly changing and always at war. But Mana once said “Never stop. Always keep walking.” And Allen promised.
Age one hundred and fifty, and he’s been mourning for… a long time, and he’s met people and liked them, but he hasn’t really connected with any of them, feels too dazed and unhappy. But that isn’t really living, you know? That’s not moving forward. So he makes a decision, and then he makes friends again.
Age two hundred, and he has a system now. As a child, he was constantly moving, and he’d liked to learn languages and liked to help people. So he always travels, stays for ten or twenty years, and then says goodbye. And if he never looks back, then he never has to see his friends die. (Well. Almost never.)
Age five hundred, and he looks around, and he gains his appreciation for life back, his sense of wonder, of delight. He’s five hundred years old, he’s still alive, and once he’d thought he’d seen everything - but if he’d died, four hundred or four hundred and ninety years ago, he’d have never seen how far the world would come. He’s always known there were bad things, that was once all he knew, but- but there are so many good things.
Age one thousand, and the world blends together. The here and now is easy to remember, easy to tell apart, but the past is a blur, and it aches to think about. He doesn’t. He forgets, sometimes, how far he’s come, and he no longer dreams about his old friends. But he doesn’t want to do that, doesn’t want to become jaded or angry, so he focuses on now, and helps the people around him the best he can. Locally, he is well known, too wise and too knowledgeable but kind enough that no one asks.
Age ten thousand, and he has taken it to an extreme. He lives one day at a time. He does not think of the future, or of the past. Eventually, he realizes this. He thinks back. And he regrets. A while later, he starts to write. He doesn’t want to forget. He thinks that immortality has slowed his mind, or perhaps just his heart.
Age one hundred thousand, and the world is unrecognizable. He tries his best to think of it as, there is always something new to learn. He only sometimes succeeds. He continues to keep records, deep in a hidden location. Many of them have been lost. Many others have been given to those who will remember for him. The past deserves to be remembered. He never goes through them, but he knows he can, and it’s a comfort. Another comfort is to raise children. No matter how much time passes, there are always orphans, and so he is always needed.
Age one million, and he hasn’t changed a bit. Sometimes, he still thinks of his first friends from so long ago. Less often, he thinks of all the friends he’s had since. He still cries just as often.
Patho, does opium itself cause the same
sort of symptoms, or is it its own subject? I have my character Atlas
who canonly fights a dependence on opium, but I skip it a lot because I
don’t have this kind of amazing knowledge on the drug.
As far as I know, yes, straight opium and medications containing opium (like laudanum, for example) have the same side effects as opium derivatives, and also result in similar withdrawal effects if physical dependence or addiction is a factor. An opium overdose will also lead to the same problems you see with other narcotics.
One thing to consider with pure opium is that dosages are much harder to titrate, because the exact concentration of active ingredients can vary from preparation to preparation. Sometimes the effects will be a little stronger than usual, sometimes a little weaker. Pure opium is also weaker than the medications later derived from it, which is one of the reasons it was used medicinally and recreationally for centuries before people figured out how to synthesize morphine. It’s definitely possible to overdose on opium, because people very much did, both intentionally and unintentionally, but you would need a larger amount or a more concentrated form than you would for, say, a morphine overdose.
Just musing: Mycroft’s approach to danger nights has evolved, starting with the night he collected Sherlock after Sherlock left the wedding early. They have a private box at the opera and as Sherlock eventually allows himself to be overcome by the music _ because of course there’s no other reason _ Mycroft just takes his hand and they sit there, Sherlock quietly losing it and Mycroft making sure to keep his eyes on the stage. When it’s over, they stand and put their coats on and Sherlock’s back to sneering and Mycroft allows it. They refuse even to agree on the performance and bicker until they reach the street and go their separate ways. Sherlock never thanks him.
For the tf ask meme... TFA Sentinel Prime? :'D I am not fond of him but I would like to know what you think
Oh boy! XD Truthfully? I don’t really mind him all that much. Yeah, he’s a jerk. We all know he’s a jerk. But I’ve spent enough time around difficult people to the point where someone’s bone-headed, broken filtered, garbage wordage doesn’t really faze me. (Plus I think that loosing Elita had a lot to do with it which give me too many feels)
looks:somewhat attractive | eh | not really my type | pretty | handsome | beautiful | stud | gorgeous | SWEET LORD MERCY
I mean, that chin is ridiculous, but he aint heinous or anything
can you relate to this character on a personal level?:no | not really | somewhat | yes | they are me
If I ever start acting like that, assume I’ve been possessed by Unicron or something. :P
would you date/be friends with this character in real life if they were real?: total bros | friends | best friends | date | become their steady boyfriend/ girlfriend | neither | i don’t know
At best we’d be civil acquaintances, but I forgot about how much he hates humans, so probably not even that…
A while ago I was lurking on Twitter and saw some film critics having a conversation about the eye lighting in giallo films (which are basically Italian horror and noir films from the ‘60s and ‘70s). Someone pointed out it was the same weird eye lighting they have in TOS. They speculated that it may have come from American noir but no one seemed to know for sure.
I did some research of my own and found out that:
a) It was probably made popular by the 1931 Dracula
b) It is now commonly known as a “Shatner light”
c) A lot of people also associate it with Morticia Addams
Okay so, this is not even me just being a weeb; I am genuinely fascinated by the live Vocaloid concerts.
There’s so many things that I think about while I’m watching.
She doesn’t actually have a voice; it’s computer generated .
Someone had to 3D model not only her, but all the choreography of her dancing.
THERE ARE SO MANY FUCKING PEOPLE THERE.
The real humans playing the backup instruments on stage with her are really talented in that they know exactly what they need to do.
Not only is she dancing, she’s dancing really well. Like, the moves they give her are tight as shit.
These songs are really catchy.
The fucking 3D animation is sooo smooth. Not only her movement, but her hair as well. It interacts with her body like real hair would, and I appreciate whoever animated her.
Also, whoever animated her gave her poses and movements that act as interaction with the audience like a real performer does. They way she points and winks at the audience makes it that much more believable.
I just think it’s really interesting, and I would fucking love to go to one of these concerts some day.

Edwin Rodriguez thought about having Mike Stanton bat sixth. He considered making Gaby Sanchez his leadoff hitter and drop Chris Coghlan into the two spot. He tinkered and re-arranged, coming up with nine new lineups in all. But when all was said and done, the only change that Rodriguez made was flip-flopping his four and five hitters, Jorge Cantu and Dan Uggla.
Rodriguez said it came down to his: just about any new lineup he messed with created a new problem. "There was always one hole that I was missing," he said. Rodriguez said he likes the eight players he has on the field and there wasn't a whole lot he could do to re-arrange those eight players into a dramatically new lineup.
"Pretty much the same," Rodriguez admitted.
Rodriguez said he was "very tempted" to elevate Stanton into the sixth spot, but after giving it careful consideration, decided it was best to have Stanton stay put in the seventh spot.
"I think he's feeling very comfortable hitting seventh and I want to keep him there," the manager said.
As for a one-two combination of Sanchez and Coghlan at the top of the order, Rodriguez said that was the least likely lineup of the nine he toyed with.
"I'd got through a lot of lineups before I'd do that one," he said.
So, without further ado, here's tonight's Marlins lineup as they prepare to take on the Nationals' Stephen Strasburg:
Marlins: 1. Chris Coghlan, lf; 2. Gaby Sanchez, 1b; 3. Hanley Ramirez, ss; 4. Dan Uggla, 2b: 5. Jorge Cantu, 3b: 6. Cody Ross, cf; 7. Mike Stanton, rf; 8. Ronny Paulino, c; 9. Ricky Nolasco.
PEP TALK....The Marlins held a brief, closed-door meeting of the pep talk variety before heading out for batting practice. "I think we have the talent to have a way better record," Rodriguez said. Rodriguez said that everyone is keenly aware of the approaching July 31 trade deadline.

Northwest Airlines LLC (which is now part of Delta Air Lines) has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $38 million criminal fine for its role, through Northwest Airlines Cargo, in a conspiracy to fix prices in the air transportation industry, according to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
According to a one-count felony charge filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Northwest Airlines Cargo, which is no longer in operation, engaged in a conspiracy to fix the cargo rates charged to customers in the United States and elsewhere for international air cargo shipments from at least July 2004 until at least February 2006. Under the plea agreement, which is subject to court approval, Northwest Airlines LLC has agreed to cooperate with the department's ongoing antitrust investigation.
Air cargo carriers transport a variety of cargo shipments, such as heavy equipment, perishable commodities and consumer goods, on scheduled international flights. During the time period covered by the felony charge, Northwest Airlines Cargo earned more than $80 million from its air cargo services between the United States and Japan.
According to the charge, Northwest Airlines Cargo carried out the conspiracy by agreeing during meetings, conversations and communications on certain components of cargo rates for shipments on routes between the United States and Japan and by levying cargo rates in accordance with the agreements reached. As a part of the conspiracy, Northwest Airlines Cargo monitored and enforced adherence to the agreed-upon rates.
Northwest Airlines LLC is charged with price fixing in violation of the Sherman Act, which carries a maximum fine of $100 million for corporations. The maximum fine may be increased to twice the gain derived from the crime or twice the loss suffered by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is greater than the statutory maximum fine.
To date, as a result of this investigation, a total of 16 airlines have pleaded guilty or have agreed to plead guilty in the DOJ's ongoing investigation into price fixing in the air transportation industry. To date, more than $1.6 billion in criminal fines have been imposed and four executives have been sentenced to serve prison time. Charges are pending against a fifth executive.
The airlines that have pleaded guilty as a result of the department's ongoing investigation into the air transportation industry are: British Airways Plc, Korean Air Lines Co. Ltd., Qantas Airways Limited, Japan Airlines International Co. Ltd., Martinair Holland N.V., Cathay Pacific Airways Limited, SAS Cargo Group A/S, Société Air France, Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij N.V. (KLM Royal Dutch Airlines), EL AL Israel Airlines Ltd., LAN Cargo S.A., Aerolinhas Brasileiras S.A., Cargolux Airlines International S.A., Nippon Cargo Airlines Co. Ltd. and Asiana Airlines Inc. Airline executives who have pleaded guilty as a result of the investigation are Bruce McCaffrey of Qantas, Keith Packer of British Airways, Franciscus Johannes de Jong of Martinair and Timothy Pfeil of SAS.

Coping with the loss of a child is a difficult experience for any parent. There are many ways that you can help a parent cope with the loss of a child.
One of the most important things you can do is to provide emotional support. Offer to listen to the parent’s thoughts and feelings, and let them know that you are there for them. It can also be helpful to provide practical support, such as help with childcare or cooking meals.
You can also help the parent to stay connected to their child’s memory. Encourage them to talk about their child and to share memories. You can also help the parent to keep alive their child’s spirit by doing things that the child loved.
It is also important to be aware of the signs that the parent is not coping well, and to provide support if needed. Signs that the parent is not coping well may include excessive crying, anger, or withdrawal. If you notice any of these signs, it is important to reach out to the parent and offer support.
Ultimately, the most important thing you can do is to be there for the parent. Let them know that they are not alone in their grief, and that you are there to support them.

How do you make someone feel better after losing a child?
There is no one right way to make someone feel better after losing a child, as everyone processes grief differently. However, there are some general things you can do to help a mourning parent.
First, be there for them. Let them know that you are there for them, and be willing to listen to them. Many parents need to talk about their child, and will appreciate someone who is willing to listen.
Second, offer practical help. Many parents are overwhelmed after losing a child and may need help with things like cooking, cleaning, or running errands.
Third, try to create a sense of normalcy. It can be comforting for parents to do things they would have done before their child died. This can include things like going to work, eating meals, or going for walks.
Fourth, allow them to grieve in their own way. Some parents may want to talk about their child all the time, while others may want to keep their grief private. Respect their wishes and do not push them to do things they are not ready for.
Finally, send them healing thoughts and prayers. Grieving parents can often use all the help they can get.
How does the death of a child affect the parent?
When a child dies, it can be one of the most devastating experiences a parent can go through. The death of a child can leave parents feeling isolated, confused and alone. There is no right or wrong way to feel after the death of a child, each parent will grieve in their own way.
Some common feelings that parents may experience after the death of a child include disbelief, numbness, guilt, anger, sadness and depression. It is common for parents to experience a range of these feelings at different times and sometimes all at once.
The death of a child can be a very isolating experience. Many parents feel like they are the only ones who have gone through this type of loss. It is important for parents to reach out to others for support during this time. There are many support groups available for parents who have lost a child.
Coping with the death of a child can be a long and difficult process. There is no set time frame for grieving. Some parents may feel better after a few weeks or months, while others may take years to fully heal. It is important for parents to allow themselves to grieve in their own way and at their own pace.
The death of a child can be a devastating experience for parents. However, with time and support, it is possible to heal and move on.
What not to say to a grieving parent?
When someone experiences the death of a loved one, they may feel an overwhelming range of emotions. It is important to be sensitive to these feelings and offer support in any way possible. However, there are some things that should not be said to a grieving parent.
1. “It was only a pet”
When a loved one dies, it is a devastating experience. Regardless of the relationship between the grieving person and the deceased, the loss is still felt. Saying that the death was only a pet is dismissive and insensitive.
2. “It was his time”
This phrase minimizes the pain that the grieving person is feeling. Telling someone that their loved one’s death was “his time” suggests that it was inevitable and that the person did not suffer.
3. “You’re lucky he’s in a better place”
This statement implies that the grieving person is not happy with the way things are and that they are not coping well. It also implies that the person is not as good of a person as the deceased.
4. “It was for the best”
When a person dies, it is often difficult to understand why it happened. Telling the grieving person that it was for the best removes their control over the situation and denies them the opportunity to mourn.
5. “You’ll get over it in time”
Grief is a process that takes time. Telling someone that they will get over it in time implies that the person is not coping well and that they should hurry up and move on.
These are five phrases that should not be said to a grieving parent. Offering support and sympathy is the best way to help a bereaved person through their difficult time.
What do you say to a parent who has lost a child?
When a parent loses a child, it is one of the most devastating things imaginable. No words can truly comfort them in this time of grief, but there are some things you can do to help.
First and foremost, be there for the parent. Offer your support and be willing to listen to them. It can be helpful to let the parent talk about their child, and to share memories of the child.
It is also important to avoid saying anything that could be seen as insensitive or hurtful. Avoid making assumptions about how the parent is feeling, and don’t try to tell them what to do or how to feel.
Most importantly, let the parent know that you care and that you are there for them.
How does a mother feel when her child dies?
How does a mother feel when her child dies? This is a difficult question to answer, as every mother’s experience is unique. However, some common reactions that mothers may experience include feeling isolated, feeling confused, feeling guilty, and feeling overwhelmed.
One of the most common reactions to a child’s death is feeling isolated. This may be because the mother feels that she is the only one who understands what she is going through, or because she is afraid to share her feelings with others. Mothers may also feel confused about what is happening, especially if the death is unexpected. They may question why their child died and what they could have done to prevent it. Guilt is another common feeling that mothers may experience after their child dies. This may be due to things that the mother said or did before the death, or because she feels like she could not protect her child. Finally, many mothers feel overwhelmed after their child dies. This may be due to the numbness that they feel, the amount of work that needs to be done, or the disbelief that the child is actually gone.
Although every mother’s experience is different, these are some of the most common reactions that they may experience after their child dies. It is important to remember that these feelings are normal, and that there is no right or wrong way to react. If you are feeling overwhelmed after your child’s death, it is important to seek out support from friends, family, or a support group.
What is a mother who loses a child called?
What is a mother who loses a child called?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the term “mother who loses a child” can mean different things to different people. For some, it might refer to a mother who has lost a child to death, while for others it might refer to a mother who has had a child taken away from her by the state.
Generally speaking, however, a mother who has lost a child is likely to feel a range of complex and powerful emotions, including grief, sadness, anger, and frustration. She may also feel isolated and alone, as if she is the only person in the world who has gone through this experience.
It is important for mothers who have lost children to receive support from their friends, family, and community. There are also many support groups available specifically for mothers who have lost children, which can be a great source of comfort and solidarity.
Do parents ever recover from losing a child?
When parents lose a child, it is arguably one of the most difficult experiences they will ever go through. It is natural for parents to feel a range of intense emotions, including grief, sadness, and anger. While it is impossible to say for certain whether or not parents ever fully recover from the loss of a child, it is possible for them to find a way to live with the pain.
There are a number of things parents can do to help them cope with the loss of a child. Some of the most important include talking about their feelings, seeking support from friends and family, and finding ways to honor their child’s memory. Parents may also find it helpful to participate in a support group for grieving parents.
It is important for parents to remember that there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Some parents may take a long time to recover, while others may find that they are able to move on relatively quickly. What is most important is that parents allow themselves to feel whatever they are feeling and do not try to bottle their emotions up.
Ultimately, the loss of a child is a devastating experience that can leave parents feeling shattered. However, with time and support, it is possible for them to rebuild their lives and find a way to cope with their loss.

Information headlines about damaged provide chains are seemingly in every single place. However is all the speak of shortages resulting in pointless panic shopping for? That’s a actual chance, says Nicholas Economides, a professor of economics at New York College.
“When people expect shortages, there’s a run on the store,” Economides defined. “People go and buy what they can when they can.”
To make sure, there are many product classes the place damaged provide chains have already created stockouts and empty cabinets. For instance, a low provide of pc chips has restricted automobile manufacturing. Container ship logjams have delayed equipment and furnishings deliveries.
However in some instances, fears of shortages are untimely.
This month, the I-Group requested shoppers which present record objects they believed could be laborious to search out this vacation season.
- Lance Phan, of Grand Rapids, Mich., stated he’s involved WiFi sensible locks – the sort that remotely unlock doorways – could also be out of inventory.
- Ashley Franklin, of San Ramon, Calif., stated she’s heard Lego toys are laborious to come back by.
- Christopher Rodrigues, of Brooklyn, N.Y., stated he desires to purchase his father a high-end therapeutic massage gun – however he’s apprehensive it might already be in brief provide.
Because it turned out, Information 4 was capable of buy the therapeutic massage gun, Legos and the sensible lock on-line with simply a few clicks. All three have been delivered inside three days.
Nonetheless, the worry is actual.
In accordance with a client survey final month by the guide Deloitte, 75% of vacation consumers are involved retail merchandise, particularly toys and electronics, shall be out of inventory this vacation season. Sixty-eight % of shoppers stated they plan to start out shopping for earlier than Thanksgiving because of considerations about damaged provide chains.
Value inflation can also be encouraging folks to hurry up purchases.
Inflation expectations have elevated considerably in 2021, based on New York Federal Reserve information. At the starting of the 12 months, shoppers predicted a 3% improve in costs subsequent 12 months. By October, they predicted a rise of 5.7%.
On high of that, the federal authorities is poised to spend report totals on infrastructure — and maybe, new social applications. That spending might add to inflation fears, thereby encouraging extra shoppers to make huge purchases now.
Economides stated fears about future worth will increase and shortages — whether or not imagined or not — could be self-fulfilling, placing further strain on provide chains.
“While you stress the system a lot, there are going to be breaks,” Economides warned.

The Zing bails have been at the centre of a lot of controversy after incidents during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 and the World Cup 2019 when they were not dislodged even after the ball contacted with the stumps. A similar incident took place once again during the Division Two club cricket match featuring the Sanderstead Cricket Club (SCC) when the ball contacted with the bails but one of them remained static on the off stump.
Former India opener Sachin Tendulkar came across the video of the incident and tweeted in out saying - “A friend shared this video with me. Found it very unusual! What would your decision be if you were the umpire? 🤔”

International Cricket Council on Friday inducted the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in its Hall of Fame along with South Africa’s Allan Donald and Australian women’s cricket legend Cathryn Fitzpatrick.
The global cricketing body took to Twitter to pay rich tributes to all three inductees. In one of their tweets about Tendulkar ICC asked, “The ‘Little Master’ is the latest person to enter the ICC Hall of Fame! ... Is he the greatest cricketer of all time?”
This question created a buzz on social media as Tendulkar’s fans came out in full support of the ‘Little Master’. One fan went to the extent of asking the ICC if this was a question that needed to be asked.
Tendulkar, the most prolific batsman in history, was inducted immediately after becoming eligible for induction, which requires that a player should have played his last international match at least five years before. Tendulkar, who retired in November 2013, tallied 15,921 runs in Tests and 18,426 in ODIs, both of which remain records. He is the sixth Indian to be inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

“Zoom Medicine” – the next NHS bauble
What chance do we have of ever getting our lives back when the PM is the main driver of keeping us locked down, for our own good! It’s as if he and ‘Our MSM’ are playing ping-pong (or should that be ‘whiff-whaff’?) by keeping that fear and hysteria going – for our own good, of course. It’s as if they’re all submitting to being ruled by the ‘experts’ governing ‘Our NHS’ whose explanations and proposals must not be questioned. ‘Getting back our sovereignty’ didn’t mean handing it over to unelected NHS ‘experts’!
This morning the main issues driving the ongoing fear & hysteria campaign are that ‘The North’ will go back into more stringent Lockdown, that test-and-trace efforts will be ramped up, even unto local councils doing it with their own schemes (link, paywalled), and that “Zoom-Medicine” will become the ‘new normal’ for patients and GPs.
It’s again all about numbers which must not be questioned, not when ‘Our NHS’ is ‘worried’. The astonishing thing is that the various MSM writers seem unable to interpret the official numbers even when they provide them in their reports. As for the PM – well, he acted ‘decisively’, didn’t he, so don’t blame him for that lockdown in the North – he’s only trying to keep everybody safe!
The ‘case numbers’ provided by ‘Our MSM’ show that the writers must never have heard of the concept of rounding up or down. Have you ever met a 0.3 person? I haven’t! See for yourselves:
“According to NHS Digital, towns with the most cases were Blackburn with Darwen, with 85.3 cases per 100,000 people, Leicester 57.7, Oldham 53.1, Bradford 44.9, Trafford 39.9, Calderdale 32.4, Rochdale 30.9 and Sandwell 27.5. The national average is 7.2.” (paywalled link)
Astonishingly enough, the authors of that article are actually referring to scientists (unnamed) who beg to differ. This is right at the bottom of their report, where they simply let those remarks dangle:
“However, some leading scientists said talk of a second wave was premature as most new cases were among those who had only mild symptoms but who were being detected through increased testing. They added that hospital admissions were still falling”(paywalled link)
‘Our NHS’ isn’t overwhelmed then? People are apparently not really ill – but must stay at home anyway? Is that why MPs in The North are allegedly ‘puzzled’, asking for more government guidance? Perhaps Andy Burnham, Mayor of Manchester, can help them:
“[he] said that people could still go to pubs with their support bubbles despite not being allowed to meet friends in private gardens.” (link, paywalled)
Funny, isn’t it, how it’s ok to congregate indoors provided you observe all the rulz, the mask-wearing and hand-sanitising and all that faff, but being outside is totally dangerous! It’s as if politicians, ‘Our NHS’ and the writers in ‘Our MSM’ believe that the air we breathe outdoors is simply heaving with CV-19 and it’s safe only indoors.
That’s magical thinking, just as the insistence on testing is. Getting a test doesn’t cure you of CV-19, and that fabulous tracing system also isn’t going to help because, it seems, tracing is running into difficulties. The ‘Head of NHS Test and Trace’, Baroness Harding (blimey, how the ‘heads’ in ‘Our NHS’ are proliferating …!) moaned:
“I urge everybody to get a free test as soon as you experience coronavirus symptoms and to follow the advice you’re given if you are contacted by the service. If we all continue to play our part, then together we can stop the spread of this virus.” (paywalled link)
Don’t ask how and where “we” can get a ‘free test’ when we ‘experience symptoms’ while being told to stay in quarantine for two weeks or ten days or whatever they come up with next. However, it seems that people aren’t happy to be traced, regardless of being told to ‘do their bit’:
“The latest figures from the Department of Health and Social Care, for the week ending July 22, show that 25 per cent of people who came into close contact with someone infected with coronavirus could not be reached by the service and asked to self-isolate. This was up from 10 per cent when the service launched eight weeks ago.” (paywalled link)
I respectfully suggest that people need to work and earn money (hello, Rishi – shouldn’t “we” do our bit to get the economy going again?) and are thus unwilling to be labelled ‘infected’ and lock themselves down. On the other hand, this latest government ‘advice’ looks like a proper hypochondriac’s charter:
“[..] anyone with a cough, fever or loss of sense of smell or taste will be told to stay at home for 10 days rather than seven. Health officials said those found to be negative will be freed from their confinement unless symptoms continue. Mr Hancock said the changes were a “precautionary approach”.” (paywalled link)
Note the choice expression: ‘freed of their confinement’ – that’s how they regard their ‘test & trace & lockdown’ exercise! It’s about depriving us of the freedom to go unless ‘Teh Test’ allows us to.
They ‘advise’ us to ‘do the right thing’ and stay at home but at the same time they are setting up the conditions for never getting a proper diagnosis because “Zoom Medicine” is definitely going to happen, according to Matt Hancock. It’s, after all, due to ‘lessons being learned’ from the Lockdown:
“In a speech to the Royal College of Physicians yesterday Mr Hancock said the health service must keep some of the operational changes that were introduced to cope with the pandemic. […] Ministers believe that remote consultations will lead to a better service for those who need face-to-face care by freeing up doctors’ time. Mr Hancock said: “The crisis has shown that patients and clinicians alike, and not just the young, want to use technology.” (link, paywalled)
This approach, this speech, is based on interesting numbers (sorry about using that word so many times!):
“In the four weeks up to April 12, 71 per cent of routine GP consultations took place remotely, with just 26 per cent face to face. In the same period in 2019, 71 per cent took place face to face and 25 per cent remotely, Mr Hancock said.” (link, paywalled)
I’ll just point out that, before Lockdown, one had to ‘see the doctor’ for virtually everything because “we” couldn’t be trusted to decide if we were really ill. But now, it’s all change at the surgery and “all consultations should be tele-consultations unless there is a compelling clinical reason not to,”(link, paywalled). First though “we” must use ‘web consultations’. Rest assured, ‘Our NHS’ “will be ready and waiting to see you in person, just as it always has been” (link, paywalled).
Meaning well in a most patronising way, Hancock actually said next that “We can’t patronise older people by saying they don’t do tech.” (link, paywalled). Indeed you can’t, but you’ll do it anyway because it’s easier than to accept that ‘older people’ are probably still keeping their streak of independence and are not keen on giving access to their private data to all and sundry. Note also that suddenly there’s no mention of GDPR, or of patient confidentiality, the reason my surgery gave me as to why they ‘don’t do emails’ – pre-lockdown.
There are critical voices pointing out that this might exacerbate the ‘health inequalities’ (paywalled link) which are the next item to clobber government with, but no matter: we need “Zoom Medicine” for the sake of ‘Our NHS’:
“That way care is easier to manage and the NHS can deliver a much better service. “Not only will it make life quicker and easier for patients but free up clinicians to concentrate on what really matters.” (paywalled link)
Yes, it’s for our own good! Email your ailments and use a webcam, to help ‘Our NHS’ and the clinicians to concentrate on what really matters – to them, not to you. This’ll also ‘help to blast off bureaucratic barnacles’ – as if! – and the few doctors who believe that seeing a patient face-to-face should now accept the brave new NHS world, according to the Times:
“Nobody is proposing that elderly or acutely sick patients be banned from seeing their GP in person, as some fear. While the difficult birth of the government’s tracing app for the coronavirus is a cautionary tale, we know that technology can make remote consultations work.” (link, paywalled)
What clarification – not! Onto the next health battlefield – the question of ‘excess deaths’, of which England had more, according to ONS numbers, than anywhere else in Europe. These are people dying of causes other than CV-19, many of whom died at home. Questions of ‘collateral damage’, perhaps caused by the hospitals and GP surgeries being in Lockdown, aren’t asked.
These deaths must somehow be our own fault, for being ‘in worse health’ than people in other countries, e.g. by being fat. “We” must learn from this, said Hancock, by doing “Zoom Medicine” because that’ll mean less bureaucracy (in yer dreams, Hancock!).
Apparently, ‘health inequalities’ can be dealt with by compelling – gently, mind! -everybody to allow ‘Our NHS’ to trace us, not just test us, for anything we might want medical advice for. Will we all be provided with ‘NHS smartphones’? Will there be a new NHS app, testing and tracing the activity levels and diets of the obese? And all this will be under one roof, the roof of ‘Our Sacred Cow’! Happy days!
You feared getting a socialist government under Labour? No worries – we’re on the way to getting a socialist country under ‘Our NHS’ without elections. Happy us!

It bides our return, and whoever comes to seek it as a little child will find it. At times it appears that the purpose of his education is just to entertain him. We go along with him, while he is the subject of his own narrative, but we take leave of him when he makes pedlars and ploughmen his heroes and the interpreters of his sentiments.
As for the understanding of the soul contained within the poem, Wordsworth is more than Platonic in that he holds an Augustinian concept of mercy that leads to the progress of the soul.
WWII Speech By Winston Churchill Politicians frequently use anaphora as a rhetorical device, in their addresses and political speeches, to evoke passion among the audience.
The freshman-to-be sees photos of well-appointed dorm rooms; of elaborate Tintern abbey wordsworth essay facilities; of fine dining rooms; of expertly kept sports fields; of orchestras and drama troupes; of students working alone no overbearing grown-ups in rangepeering with high seriousness into computers and microscopes; or of students arrayed outdoors in attractive conversational garlands.
My overall point is this: These memories offer a fond sensation of peace. Here ought to come a list of reforms, with due notations about a core curriculum and various requirements.
The idea allows the narrator to claim that people are weighed down by the roles they play over time. And we can owe this expansion in many ways to the student culture.
The main Characteristic is the description of nature, he describes it as something damaged by the society. Wordsworth sets up multiple stages, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and maturity as times of development but there is no real boundary between each stage.
He becomes a devout worshipper of Mother Nature.
But at least it compels one to see intellectual work as a confrontation between two people, student and author, where the stakes matter.
Intimation of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood". Posted By michaelonlyson in Wordsworth, William 4 Replies. But the move, like many others in the university now, jibes with a tendency to serve -- and not challenge -- the students.
He is not the same person he was when he first visited, no longer a young boy when nature made up his whole world. He draws its imagery from the environment and what nature has to offer for instance the mountains, waterfalls and woods which give shape to his passions, interests and his love.

To me, one of the best things about democratic thinking is the conviction that genius can spring up anywhere. The rigors of Chem create almost as many English majors per year as do the splendors of Shakespeare.
A Powerful Prelude to Nature "These beauteous forms, through a long absence, have not been to me.

After returning to this beauti The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steep; No more shall grief of mine the season wrong; lines 22—26 The joy in stanza III slowly fades again in stanza IV as the narrator feels like there is "something that is gone".
The exact time of composition is unknown, but it probably followed his work on The Prelude, which consumed much of February and was finished on 17 March. At a certain point, professors stopped being usefully sensitive and became more like careful retailers who have it as a cardinal point of doctrine never to piss the customers off.

Japan’s health care sector outperforms many developed countries (Kawachi, Fujisawa, & Takao, 2007). This is unusual because it does not have the highest health care expenditure. For example, America outspends Japan in this regard. However, Japan has better health outcomes (Kawachi et al., 2007). This paper investigates this issue, in detail, by exploring the reasons for the health disparities between the two countries. It also highlights key legal and political features that contribute to Japan’s contemporary health performance. However, before delving into the details of this analysis, it is, first, important to understand how Japan’s reconstruction process, after World War II, contributed to its contemporary health status.
How Reconstruction after World War II Contributed to Japan’s Contemporary Health Status
To understand Japan’s health care system, it is important to explore the intention of the ruling regime that took power in the post-war period (under the leadership of General MacArthur). MacArthur focused on improving the social welfare of the Japanese people by providing them with an opportunity to experience post-war success (Bezruchka, Namekata, & Sistrom, 2008). His first priority was to deconstruct the Japanese power and wealth structures that concentrated wealth to only a few people (mostly war elites) (Yamagishi, 2011). He intended to give people more power to control the country’s social welfare structures, such as health and education. This strategy helped to increase Japan’s profile as an emerging social welfare society.
Political and Legal Features of Japan’s Health Care System that Contributed to its Population Health
- Legal: Constitutional amendments in Japan’s postwar period greatly contributed to its contemporary health status. For example, after the war, Japan’s newly adopted constitution removed all service provision barriers. In this regard, health care became a fundamental right for all Japanese citizens (Yamagishi, 2011).
- Political: The quest for the Japanese government to deconstruct wealth and power structures in the Asian nation made sure quality health care was free for all. Therefore, even poor people enjoyed the best health care amenities. This system contributed to Japan’s good health outcomes (Bezruchka et al., 2008).
Reasons for the Health Disparities between Japan and America
The reasons for the health disparities between Japan and America are many. However, varying social and political factors drive this trend (Bezruchka et al., 2008). This section of the paper explains some legal and cultural contributions for the health disparities.
- Legal: Japan’s health care system focuses on prevention, as opposed to cure (Okamoto, 2008). Japan’s health care system also stems from a welfare model that has improved the access to health care services for its citizens (World Health Organization Western Pacific Region, 2012). Comparatively, the US uses a private insurance scheme that has locked out millions of people from seeking quality health services.
- Cultural: Lifestyle differences in Japan and America also contribute to the health disparities between the two countries. For example, HIV, obesity, and dietary complications stem from lifestyle differences between the US and Japan. Collectively, these factors have contributed to the varying health outcomes between both states (Bezruchka et al., 2008).
Lessons that the US can learn from Japan’s Health Care System
The US could learn many lessons from the Japanese health care model. First, America could learn the need to focus on upstream health factors to improve its health outcomes. For example, reducing negative lifestyle factors, such as violence, smoking, and drinking, could significantly improve the country’s health outcomes. Japan has succeeded in this regard (Kawachi et al., 2007). Secondly, to reduce America’s high health care costs, the US should regulate the activities of multiple insurers. This strategy would standardize health care costs by eliminating “cartel-like” behaviors in the industry.
This paper highlights the health disparities between the US and Japan. It shows that lifestyle factors and administrative issues contribute to this disparity. In this regard, the US can improve its health outcomes by focusing on providing upstream health interventions and overhauling its health administration structure. These strategies would help it to improve its health outcomes.

6. He keeps on giving her as an example.
If he keeps on giving her example in all small instances like how she used to cook food, how she used to dress up, or how intelligent or mature she is, then you should end your relationship with him because it’s clear that he is still in love with her.
He is just consciously or unconsciously comparing you with her and that’s not a good thing to do. You are a unique individual and you should be with someone who likes you for who you are and not someone who is trying to turn you into a mirror image of his ex.
7. He talks about his past a lot.
We all talk about the past to remember and relive the good times. If he keeps on talking about his ex, about the things they did together or the places they visited together, it is a clear sign that he still misses the good times spent with her.
If he keeps on bringing up their vacations together or daily rituals, he is clearly missing her big time.
8. He shares about his life with her more than he shares with you.
If he shares his dreams, passions, and what’s going on in his life with her more than he shares with you, he clearly shares more comfort and bonding with her than he shares with you.
Comfort, trust, and bonding are the basic building blocks of a good, fulfilling, and long-lasting relationship. If you don’t have these things in your relationship, then you have some reflection regarding what you should do and take an appropriate course of action.
9. He is hesitant to commit to you.
It is normal to take time to commit to someone. But if you have been dating him for quite some time and he is still hesitant to commit to you, it goes to show that he is still unsure about you or he is still not over his ex.
If he keeps on dodging the question of where things are at, he is probably not too keen to take the relationship forward.
Related: 11 Signs Your Ex Still Loves You
10. He keeps on bringing up her name randomly in conversations.
When we like someone, we can’t help but bring up their name randomly in our conversations. It is because that person is constantly on our mind.
If your partner keeps on bringing his ex’s name randomly in conversations, then you can imagine how much she is playing in his mind and how badly he misses her.
11. He still talks to her and hangs out with her without informing you.
Sometimes people stay friends with their exes especially if they were good friends before they started dating. But if your partner hangs out with his ex without even informing you, then he is not as honest in the relationship with you as he should be.
If he had no intention of getting back with his ex and if he shared a healthy relationship with you, he wouldn’t mind telling you about hanging out with his ex.
12. He’s hot and cold with you.
It is very easy to tell how a person feels about you if you watch their behavior. If someone genuinely likes you, his care and concern for you will be consistent. But if a person is unsure about their feelings about you, it will reflect in the inconsistency of their behavior.
If he goes on for days without talking to you and then comes back and showers you with love and affection only to disappear again, he is not really sure about his feelings about you and is just keeping you as an option.


Keithley Instruments, Inc. has added two multi-channel power supplies with GPIB interfaces to its line of programmable DC power supplies. The new models address the need for greater control and communication flexibility in both R&D and production test applications, which GPIB interfaces can provide. Both the Model 2220G-30-1 dual-channel and 2230G-30-1 triple-channel power supplies combine the advantage of greater output accuracy than offerings from the market leader at prices that are substantially lower. These new GPIB-equipped models expand Keithley's Series 2200 line of one-, two-, and three-channel power supplies, which complement the broad offering of instrumentation from Keithley and Tektronix.
The new power supplies enhance ease of use in circuit design, university student labs, materials research, and device testing that requires the use of more than one power source. Their output levels address a wide range of sourcing requirements for characterizing components, circuits, modules, and complete devices. The Model 2230G-30-1 power supply provides two output channels, typically used for powering analog circuits, with each channel capable of outputting up to 30 V/1.5 A/45 W, plus a 6 V/5 A/30 W output channel, typically used for powering digital circuits. (In contrast, the market-leading three-channel supply's analog outputs are limited to just 25 V @ 1 A.) The Model 2220G-30-1 power supply provides two output channels, each capable of outputting up to 30 V/1.5 A/45 W. These maximum output levels, combined with voltage setting and reading resolution of 1mV and current setting and reading resolution of 1 mA, allow generating a wider range of output power and reading a wider range of load currents with high precision.
Each output channel is completely isolated, which allows the new power supplies to power two isolated circuits with different reference points, eliminating the need for a second power supply. Many competitive multi-channel power supplies do not offer isolated channel outputs and cannot properly power isolated circuits. Each channel can also be turned on or off independently, so the power supplies can be used to power up a circuit that requires turning on multiple voltage levels in a specified time sequence. A programmable timer allows setting up a test to run unattended, turning off the outputs after a specified interval.
For applications that require supplying more than 30 V or 1.5 A, the new power supplies' 30 V outputs can be combined in a variety of configurations, such as being wired in series to produce a 60 V output with a maximum current output of 1.5 A or wired in parallel to produce a 3 A output at 30 V. When configured this way, special display modes show the actual voltage and current for the combined pair. This is an important advantage over competitive units, which typically do not show the actual combined output, increasing the potential for confusion or incorrect interpretation of the displayed results. The new power supplies also allow configuring the 30 V outputs to test a bipolar circuit or maintain a user-defined ratio between the two outputs when using Tracking mode.
The new power supplies are immediately available from Keithley sales partners at these US list prices:
· Model 2220G-30-1 Dual-Channel DC Power Supply: $1,064
· Model 2230G-30-1 Triple-Channel DC Power Supply: $1,270
