In his missile defense speech yesterday, President Bush proclaimed that "the sun comes up on a vastly different world." But some say the sun hasn't quite set on the old world yet.
Bush made arguments for pursuing every type of missile defense system, and declared that the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and the idea of mutually assured destruction that kept nuclear peace since World War II need to be replaced with "new concepts of deterrence."
Not everyone who heard the speech was ready to sign up as a nuclear New Ager. Democrats and other critics responded that the new missile defense systems remain unproven and expensive. And they said the old concepts of deterrence are still useful for keeping peace among the major powers, as well as intimidating smaller "rogue states" such as Iraq and North Korea.
Lawmakers of both parties wondered how Bush planned to cut taxes and spend the $60 billion to $100 billion likely to be needed for minimal missile defense without cutting into other defense priorities.
"The Bush administration is unwisely betting our nation's security against nuclear dangers on unproven and costly missile defenses," said John Isaacs, president of the Council for a Livable World, a nonproliferation group. "The president should focus on minimizing the most urgent nuclear dangers by reducing the Russian nuclear arsenal, securing excess nuclear material in the former Soviet Union and convincing North Korea to end its long-range missile program."
Many nuclear strategy experts also questioned Bush's dismissal of the ABM treaty as an anachronism that "enshrines the past," when the United States and Russia each possess thousands of intercontinental ballistic missiles that remain on alert.
"To abandon the ABM with the hope to get that [missile defense] capacity somewhere down the line would damage the security interests of the United States," said Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (Del.), ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"The whole principle of fly before you buy is one we should adhere to," said Rep. John F. Tierney (D-Mass.), noting system failures in limited testing. "This is placing the political cart before the technical horse."
It also remained unclear whether, as Bush suggested, the United States can escape the idea that security be based on the "grim premise that we can destroy those who seek to destroy us." If a missile defense system worked completely, it could spark a bigger arms race, some observers noted. If it didn't work completely, then the possibility of mass destruction would still linger.
"If you can't shoot down 100 percent of them [missiles], you haven't gotten rid of mutually assured destruction," said Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.). "And if you can, you set off an arms race to develop a capacity that can't be touched by a missile defense system."
On Monday, a senior administration official said the proliferation of nuclear and long-range missile technology had changed the priority from stopping a Russian attack to stopping a rogue state or leader. The official said that during the Cold War, the specter of mutual destruction made it unlikely that a Soviet leader would initiate a nuclear war. Today, however, with such leaders as Iraq's Saddam Hussein and North Korea's Kim Jong Il, the official said, one could not be so sure.
But others say deterrence works even with these leaders, regardless of what Bush called their "hatred" of America. Noting that veiled threats of nuclear retaliation against Iraq during the Persian Gulf war had kept Saddam Hussein from using chemical weapons, Biden said, "This premise that one day Kim Jong Il or someone will wake up one morning and say, 'Aha, San Francisco' is specious."
Bush tried to make an overture to Russia by urging Moscow to view its relationship with the United States as being far different than it was in the Cold War era, during which nuclear strategy was developed. He said: "Russia is not our enemy, but a country in transition with an opportunity to emerge as a great nation, democratic, at peace with itself and its neighbors."
Some Democrats expressed surprise at Bush's description of a new relationship with Russia. "My first reaction is that this is an unusually friendly description of a Russia that during the campaign was treated in an unusually chilly fashion," said Leon Fuerth, who served as Vice President Al Gore's national security adviser. "It takes a little thought to say we don't need deterrence with Russia."
For many Democrats, the problem with Bush's missile defense speech was a matter of degree and approach. Most Democrats at least support continued missile defense research, and many support the deployment of systems that could be targeted at small countries without unraveling the larger framework of deterrence that governs relations with Russia and China.
"No one is questioning that some form of missile defense is required," said Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii). But he said that some of the more ambitious systems under consideration were "more appropriate to DreamWorks and Steven Spielberg than to actual implementation."


Seems anti-India and Pro-Pak media outlets are out in droves like vultures trying to scavenge for a piece of meat. These outlets who are unable to digest the fact that large parts of Kashmir just like Jammu and Ladakh have wholeheartedly welcomed the Modi government’s decision to override Article 370 and reorganize the state. International anti-India propaganda news outlets like BBC and Al Jazeera were seen spreading old videos as that of current situation in Kashmir. Now Reuters has been caught trying to pass some fabricated videos as that of Kashmir.
The news along with a video was shared by Reuters and reported on their channel as that of ‘large scale’ protests in Kashmir against central government. The same news was used by the Pakistani news outlets like Dawn to further their agenda against India. Netizens immediately called the bluff of Reuters and MHA took note of the video. The MHA issued a statement and tweeted that the Reuters news report was completely fabricated and incorrect.
There have been a few stray incidents on Friday which the local police have handled deftly. The J&K police have been regularly sharing information regarding the situation in various parts of the region. People in Jammu and Kashmir have been busy in shopping for Eid. No major protests have been reported and this seems to have unsettled the anti-India forces.
Further, the Jammu & Kashmir Police have been requesting netizens and people that they should not believe in any mischievous and motivated news regarding firing incidents in the valley as the police have not fired a single bullet in 6 days. The police have repeatedly said that the situation in the valley is calm and people are cooperative. The restrictions are being relaxed gradually across the region.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Whether you fell asleep early, stayed out too late, or simply want to watch it again, we realize it's not always possible to get your entire "Piers Morgan Live" fix from television. As an answer to this, we offer the below labor of love – "Piers Morgan Live, Rewind" – dedicated and designed to getting you caught up and connected to the conversation.
As Monday saw the world lose a remarkably polarizing and divisive leader with the passing of Margaret Thatcher, last night "Piers Morgan Live" welcomed Rudy Giuliani and his first-hand perspective on the late British Prime Minister:
"She gave me the one and only 'Margaret Thatcher Medal.' Unfortunately, after she gave me that medal, it was supposed to be a yearly thing, she got very ill and she wasn't able to give another one. So I possess the one and only 'Margaret Thatcher Medal,' of which I'm extraordinarily proud, because she was a hero and a role model for me in many of the things that I did as mayor of New York," noted the former Republican presidential candidate."
Additionally, Monday evening also saw "Piers Morgan Live" delve into some of the details surrounding "the tension-filled Korean Peninsula," inviting a panel of educated experts to share their insight:
"It's serious, but not in the way people think. I do not believe we are on the cusp or the precipice of an intentional conflict," said Richard Hass, president of the Council on Foreign Affairs. "If a conflict were to happen, I really think it would be more through stumbling."
CNN's Fareed Zakaria, meanwhile, noted another nation he feels has the ability to imapct the entire conflict:
"China is the key. And the reason China is the key is remember that North Korea is one of the most, if not the most isolated country in the world. It trades with no one. China provides it with 50 percent of its food, 80 percent of its fuel. And it could stop doing that."
Author Douglas Brinkley used his platform on the program to better explain how the U.S. might be communicating with a land led by the unpredictable Kim Jong Un:
"I don't know how you negotiate with these people. I'm sure we're doing it on a subterranean level. But we don't want to give any serious credence to a country that is this kind of despicable rogue nation like North Korea is."
Meanwhile, as Monday also brought Barack Obama to Hartford, Conn., where he delivered an aggressive address citing the need for stricter gun law, last night Piers Morgan invited Jennifer Palmieri to join the program with additional insight as to the commander in chief's stance on firearms:
"As you know, this is something that the president, as you know, feels really personally deeply about," said the White House Director of Communications. "This is why soon after the shooting [at Sandy Hook Elementary on December 14th,] we took a lot of steps, every step, as a matter of fact, that we could take within the administration to take any sort of action that we could to improve background checks."
As the primetime interview continued, Palmieri detailed specific elements that are pacing the debate on gun control, along with the ways in which each issue is being viewed by the White House:
"Assault weapons ban, we know, is going to be really tough. We think that there should be a vote on it anyway because we do think that should be the law. We think background checks have a very good chance. We think that with such a big majority of Americans supporting it and we do see, we've had some discussions on both sides of the aisle with people over the last couple of weeks, of senators back in our home states. And we think that we feel there's just not any reason in the world why we shouldn't be able to do this unless people want to let politics stand in the way."

The Happy Chaos Dustloop: The Ultimate Guide to Playing and Mastering Him
Happy Chaos was first introduced in Guilty Gear -Strive-, the latest addition to the Guilty Gear franchise. This character quickly became one of the favorites for many players, thanks to its unique design and abilities. Happy Chaos is a difficult but rewarding character to play, with high-risk and high-reward moves that require quick reactions and strategic thinking to execute effectively. One of those moves is the Happy Chaos Dustloop.
The Dustloop is a powerful combo that players can use to deal massive damage to their opponents. It requires precise timing and execution, but it can be devastating if done correctly. In this article, we will go through everything you need to know about the Happy Chaos Dustloop, including what it is, how to execute it, and some tips and tricks to master it.
What is the Happy Chaos Dustloop?
The Happy Chaos Dustloop is a combo that involves using charged slashes to create a long string of hits that can be looped multiple times. The loop can only be performed on an airborne opponent, making it important to create the right conditions to execute it effectively.
The combo starts with Happy Chaos using the charged slash (or Forward Heavy Slash) followed by a Rising Sword (Backward Heavy Slash). By charging the slash, Happy Chaos generates an electric field around the sword that can stun the opponent, allowing you to follow up with a series of slashes.
The Dustloop is executed by chaining these charged slashes one after the other, creating more and more hits in a loop. The combo can be repeated up to three times, depending on the height and position of the opponent, and can deal massive damage to them.
How to Execute the Happy Chaos Dustloop
To properly execute the Happy Chaos Dustloop, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. You need to understand how to properly use the charged slash, how to create openings for the combo, and how to connect the loop together.
Using the Charged Slash
The charged slash is a key part of the Happy Chaos Dustloop. It is essential to understand how to use it effectively to create openings for the combo.
To use the charged slash, you need to hold down the Heavy Slash button until the sword becomes electrified. Once the sword is fully charged, release the button to unleash a powerful slash that creates a small electrical field around the sword. This field can stun the opponent, allowing you to follow up with another attack.
The charged slash can be used in various situations, including as a combo starter, as an anti-air, or as a way to create a gap between you and your opponent. It is essential to understand the different ways to use the charged slash to maximize its potential and create opportunities for the Dustloop.
Creating Openings for the Dustloop
To execute the Dustloop, you need to create openings for it. This can be done by using the charged slash to stun the opponent and create a small gap in their defenses.
One way to do this is by starting the combo with a charged slash, followed by a Rising Sword. The charged slash will stun the opponent, allowing you to follow up with the Rising Sword to knock them into the air. Once the opponent is airborne, you can start the Dustloop by chaining together charged slashes one after the other.
Another way to create openings for the Dustloop is by using the charged slash as a bait. This can be done by charging the slash and then canceling it into a different move or by simply releasing it without following up with another attack. This can create uncertainty in your opponent, making them hesitate and allowing you to capitalize on their indecision by starting the Dustloop.
Connecting the Dustloop
Once you have created an opening for the Dustloop, the next step is to connect the loop together. This involves chaining together charged slashes one after the other, creating a string of hits that can be looped multiple times.
To connect the Dustloop, start with a charged slash followed by a Rising Sword. Once the Rising Sword connects, immediately perform another charged slash to start the loop. Continue chaining together charged slashes until you have reached the maximum number of loops or until the opponent has been knocked out of the combo.
Tips and Tricks for Mastering the Happy Chaos Dustloop
Mastering the Happy Chaos Dustloop takes time and practice. Here are some tips and tricks to help you improve your execution and overall gameplay.
Understand Your Opponent
To effectively use the Dustloop, you need to understand your opponent’s behavior and movement patterns. This will allow you to predict when to use the charged slash to stun them and create openings for the combo.
For example, if your opponent tends to jump a lot, you can use the charged slash as an anti-air to knock them out of the air and start the Dustloop. If your opponent tends to block a lot, you can use the charged slash to create a small gap in their defenses and start the combo.
Practice Your Timing
The Dustloop requires precise timing to execute effectively. It is essential to practice your timing to ensure that you can chain together the charged slashes without dropping the combo.
One way to practice your timing is to use the practice mode in the game. Set the opponent to jump and practice chaining together charged slashes one after the other, making sure to time your attacks correctly.
Vary Your Combos
While the Dustloop is a powerful combo, it is essential to vary your combos to keep your opponent on their toes. This can help prevent them from predicting your next move and take advantage of any gaps in your gameplay.
Experiment with different combos and try to incorporate the Dustloop into them. This will make it harder for your opponent to predict your next move and increase your overall effectiveness on the battlefield.
What is the maximum number of loops for the Happy Chaos Dustloop?
The Dustloop can be looped up to three times, depending on the height and position of the opponent.
Is the Happy Chaos Dustloop easy to execute?
The Dustloop is a difficult combo to execute, requiring precise timing and execution. It will take time and practice to master it, but it can be a powerful tool in your arsenal.
Can the Dustloop be used on grounded opponents?
No, the Dustloop can only be used on airborne opponents. It is important to create the right conditions to execute it effectively.
What are some good combo starters for the Dustloop?
A charged slash followed by a Rising Sword is a good combo starter for the Dustloop. It is essential to create openings for the combo to execute it effectively.
Is it possible to cancel the Dustloop into another move?
Yes, it is possible to cancel the Dustloop into another move, such as a special move or a super move. This can help to maximize your damage output and keep your opponent guessing.

Blue Bulls Rugby Union president Gert Wessels has resigned amid allegations of financial misconduct.
Wessels tendered his resignation after a faction within the union had tabled a motion of no confidence in him, citing his ‘reckless behaviour’ outside his mandate which ‘ruined’ the union financially.
Despite vacating his position, Wessels maintains his innocence, saying that the union – as an equal shareholder – has a responsibility to finance the company pro rata.
‘I decided to step down, but to single me out as the scapegoat is unfair and vindictive. As soon as the shareholders’ agreement was signed in 1998 – long before I took office as president – it became the union’s responsibility to finance the company,’ Wessels told Netwerk24.com.
‘For as long as the union has a 50% share in the company, its management has to look after the company’s best interests. The allegation that the union is facing bankruptcy is cheap media sensation. Like all other unions, the BBRU is under financial strain, but it still has a healthy bank balance.’
Wessels also vehemently denied the allegation that he was only willing to resign if the union nominated him for a position on the SA Rugby executive committee.
‘I never made such a proposal. What offends me most is the claims that I did not put the union first. I’d say 44 years of devoted service to rugby and the BBRU proves that is untrue.’

text: Among alternative energy sources for residential buildings, algae technology has emerged as a promising option due to its closed-loop configuration and the ability to produce biofuel energy while reducing waste stream flow and capturing carbon. Furthermore, this technology has the potential of integrating resource and waste management, and can be complemented with other alternatives, such as photovoltaic, wind or fuel cells. This paper provides a framework for integrating information from geographic information systems, building information models, construction schedules, construction cost estimates, and constructability reviews. The integration is aimed at designing an algae-powered residential building environment at the level of urban neighbourhood, in which the algae technology is taken as a design intervention to promote energy performance and carbon reduction within the urban system. This framework couples the design intervention with impact simulations influenced by geographic contexts, construction considerations, and digital building technology. By extending the system boundary from a closed algae cultivation system to an open neighbourhood-scale urban environment, urban renewable resources such as energy, water, material and carbon flows are connected to the algae cultivation process. The framework would further advance the possibilities for sharing information among planners, architects, engineers and construction managers for innovative closed-loop sustainable energy systems in residential construction. This approach will address challenges such as cost, governmental incentives, regulatory barriers, or need of research and development that could overcome limitations for automating predesign, design, construction and facility management processes.

While dog training can be done at any stage of a dog's life, it is still best to teach them while they're still puppies. Using hand signals along with spoken commands prove to be more effective for most dogs.
Not sure where to start? Use these simple hand signals to train your yorkie with basic commands - just don't forget to reward them with treats!
1. One finger up for "SIT"
Holding one finger up while firmly saying "sit" is a simple way to teach your pup to stay and sit. Just remember to bring your arm to its natural position at your side then up to this hand signal.
2. Palm flat and facing the ground for "DOWN"
Use this hand signal while saying "down" to your pup to command him to lie down on the floor. If he's having difficulty following the command, move your palm lower toward the floor to let him know where you want him.
3. Curled pointer finger for "COME HERE"
While it's easy to just call your pup by name to get him/her to come to you, there are situations where just the use of hand signals may be handy. Use the usual curling of a finger as a signal for "come here", the same way you would use for inviting a person over.
4. Palm facing out for "STAY"
Like the hand signal you would use for "stop", this simple hand gesture is a great but simple way to signify "stay" for your yorkie pup. Practice this command along with the "come here" hand signal to further familiarize your pet with the commands.
5. Palm facing the dog for "BRING"
All dogs love to play fetch! But it can get pretty tiring for you if you do all the retrieving. No worries, you can train your pup to bring back the item. Similar to the hand gesture associated with asking for something from someone, use this hand signal at dog eye level to signify "bring".
Keep in mind that these commands can't be learned overnight, so just be patient. Soon enough, you won't have to speak for your yorkie pup to perform these tricks!

Death and taxes.
Two words guaranteed to instill a sense of dread, or at least an uncomfortable feeling, in most people.
And, as the saying goes, both are inevitable. Inescapable.
While, for most people, the T word doesn’t usually rear its ugly head for a couple more months, in St. John’s it’s doing the rounds as city council works on its municipal budget for the coming year.
Like everyone else, the city is seeing costs going up.
Back in September, Telegram reporter David Maher reported on some of the extra costs the city is facing: a power bill of $10.3 million is expected to increase to $16.3 million by 2021; debt payments are up by $3.4-million; a $1-million increase in city salary costs; another $606,000 for Metrobus salaries; an $808,000 increase in fire protection costs.
The city has been trying to reduce costs and find efficiencies. It has frozen management salaries, kept new hires to a minimum, cut cellphone costs and eliminated car allowances, among other moves.
But it also faces a major revenue drop. While St. John’s property assessments aren’t out yet, the trend across the province has seen residential values decreasing — meaning the city could face a dip of between $8 million and $15 million in residential tax revenues. And residential taxes make up about 32 per cent of city revenues.
Faced with that kind of financial pressure, earlier this year Coun. Dave Lane, head of the city’s finance committee, made it known that city taxpayers are probably facing an increase in the next budget. The city has to balance its books and the extra money has to come from somewhere.
It was suggested residential taxpayers might face a mill rate hike of between 0.4 and 0.6 points. On the current mill rate of 7.3, that would mean if your home is valued at $300,000, your tax bill would go up by about $220.
Commercial property owners make up 25 per cent of the city’s annual revenues. They could face a mill rate increase of between 1 and 1.9 points. The mill rate for a commercial property with water and sewer services is currently 24.7. I just scanned commercial property listings and found a nice two-storey commercial building for sale at $1,090,000. Based on the proposed increase, the owner of a building like that could face a tax bill of between $28,103 and $28,994.
A big concern for business owners is that values for commercial properties have actually increased a bit. If that holds true in the St. John’s assessments, commercial property owners could see their city tax bill go up anyway, tax hike or no.
Over the summer, the city held budget consultations, gathering input on how it can balance the budget. Friday, the St. John’s Board of Trade brought together some of its members to get their take on how they’d like the city to approach the budget.
The session was closed to the media, but board chair Andrea Stack summed up some of the concerns that were expressed.
“Our members feel like the taxation that we have as individuals in the city of St. John’s is high on all levels, through all levels of government. So we’re pushing for the city to find efficiencies and reduce where they can,” she said.
It could be efficiency initiatives to save money on energy, looking to public-private partnerships to pay for major municipal infrastructure projects, or reviewing core services.
“Finding what is spent in other jurisdictions and seeing how our spending sits relative to other jurisdictions, like Halifax or other cities,” Stack said. “Seeing what our core services are, what needs to be offered and doing that more efficiently and more cost-effectively.”
Bottom line is, Stack said, raising taxes shouldn’t be the automatic reflex when faced with a projected shortfall.
“We don’t feel the answer should be ‘Oh, here are our costs, what do we need to charge the residents of St. John’s?’” Stack said. “We feel they should be looking internally and find what a fair tax rate should be for the city.”
And the level of taxation matters, Stack said; matters deeply.
“I think there are businesses out there that are feeling like the tax burden that they’re facing from all levels of government is getting too high and they’re considering does it make sense to stay in business?” she said. “It’s a tough economy out there and at the end of the day we think the government at all levels should be looking to do what they can to reduce taxes and help keep the economy moving.”

Liverpool could drop down to fourth in the Premier League this season, according to Paul Merson.
The Reds romped home to their first title in 30 years last term, finally becoming champions again with a record seven games still to play.
But having only added £11.75million left-back Kostas Tsimikas to their ranks this summer, Jurgen Klopp ’s side appeared uncharacteristically vulnerable in the opening fixture of their title defence on Saturday.
Newly-promoted Leeds were minutes away from picking up a shock 3-3 draw at Anfield, before a clumsy challenge from new Whites signing Rodrigo allowed Mohamed Salah to convert a late winner from the spot.
Merson insists he worries for Liverpool if they fail to strengthen before the summer transfer window closes next month, even suggesting they could drop down to fourth in the table.
“You look at the goals Liverpool let in against Leeds: wow. I just think they turned up and thought they'd wipe the floor with Leeds,” he told Sky Sports .
“I think they need to buy someone. It wouldn't surprise me if the finished fourth this season, and I thought that before this game.
“It's the same team, and they have a massive amount of players who have to play every week. Virgil van Dijk can't get injured. The full-backs can't get injured. They haven't got anyone to replace the front three if they're injured.
“I keep saying it. There's a famous fast food chain that used to sell more chips and burgers than anyone; they still did adverts. You spend to stay at the top.
“If Man City get injuries, they'll just play: 'We'll score more goals than you' anyway. What we'll see later in the season is teams like Man City come into the fold massively, because their squad is too big.

BANGOR, Maine — Monday evening, Nicole Stairs was a proud daughter as she watched her father Matt get the Philadelphia Phillies one step closer to the World Series with a game-winning, two-run homer in a 7-5 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Less than 24 hours later, the stage was set for the Bangor High School senior midfielder: Senior Night under the lights against archrival Brewer.
Now, its dad’s turn to be proud, as Stairs recorded her first career hat trick — scoring all the goals in the first half — as the Rams earned a 9-0 girls soccer victory over the Witches.
When coach Joe Johnson pulled Stairs just after scoring her third goal, there was a great sense of what she was going to do next.
“As soon as I got off the field I went and called him,” Stairs said. “I told him I had a hat trick and he said he was very proud of me.”
After Kendra Lenz one-touched a Denali Graham pass past helpless Brewer keeper Mel Judkins 1:30 into the match, Stairs took over, streaking unmarked down the left flank and striking a high, arching shot inside the right post.
Stairs’ last two goals were set up by Jenny Leach, the latter off a throw-in with 19:31 left in the first half.
She dedicated one of her goals to teammate Sarah MacDonald, who barely missed on a couple of opportunities late in the match.
“I know she tried really hard to get one so I’m going to give one to her,” Stairs said.
She added that she stayed with her grandfather so she could play in her Senior Night game while the rest of the Stairs clan was in Los Angeles.
The 9-2-1 Rams were looking for a strong start against a young Brewer team which has only four seniors on its roster.
“You certainly want to get an early lead in any game, it makes things to a lot easier,” said Johnson.
Now, the Rams hope their offense will be jumpstarted going into a Thursday showdown at Hampden Academy.
“It was a good boost for them and the ball movement was very good. They ran to space and played off the ball very well,” Johnson explained.
Brewer’s back line had trouble marking the quicker Rams, and Bangor attackers found themselves unmarked most of the game, as the Rams generated 46 shots at goal.
“We just didn’t mark very well. We watched the ball, let our marks get away from us,” Brewer coach Bill Schwarz said.
M.J. Boyce and Adriana Capuano added first-half goals for Bangor while Megan Doucette, Graham and Sadie Redman all recorded second-half tallies.
Capuano added an assist, while Amy Connor, Annie McKay and Eliza Estabrook all contributed assists.
“I’ve always said the more kids that score the better off you’re going to be,” said Johnson.
Kortnie Hudgens and Mia Smith combined to stop all six Brewer shots.
Judkins had 10 first-half saves while Colleen Gilley and Hannah Simmons recorded five each for 1-12 Brewer in the second half.

kins Township, Allegheny County, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Shepard, Wil- Pa., assignors to East Pittsburgh,
Our invention relates generally to time delay devices, and it has reference in particular to static time delay devices, such as may be used to trip circuit breakers or the like.
Generally stated, it is an object of our invention to provide a static time delay device having a plurality of different delay characteristics.
More specifically, it is an object of our invention to provide a static semiconductor delay device having instantaneous, short time delay, and long time delay characteristics at different levels of fault current.
It is also an object of our invention to provide, in a time delay device, for using a single direct current source for operating a plurality of delay circuits having diiferent response levels.
Yet, another object of our invention is to provide, in a static delay device, for using Zener diodes as blocking devices for triggering delay circuits having different delay characteristics to effect tripping of a circuit breaker or the like at different times at different current levels.
An important object of our invention is to provide a simple and reliable static multi-response level time delay device for a circuit breaker.
Another important object of our invention is to provide an improved trip device for circuit breakers utilizing a plurality of Zener diodes for operating .a plurality of delay circuits at different current levels.
Other objects will, in part, be obvious and-will, in part, be explained hereinafter.
In practicing our invention according to one of its embodiments, a transistor flip-flop is utilized to effect energization of the trip coil of a circuit breaker. A current transformer is connected to a heater for effecting an unbalance in a bridge circuit to produce a signal for operating the flip-flop with a longtime delay characteristic. Short-time delay is obtained by utilizing an R-C delay circuit energized from the current transformer through a Zener diode which effects operation of the flip-flop a predetermined time after the current exceeds a level which .is higher than that for initiating operation of the longtime delay. An instantaneous trip circuit connects the current transformer to effect operation of the flip-flop through a Zener diode which prevents operation of the flip-flop until the current exceeds a still higher value.
For a more complete understanding of the nature and scope of our invention, reference may be made to the following detailed description, which may be read in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a trip circuit embodying the invention in one of its forms;
Fig. 2 shows a composite time current characteristic curve for the circuit of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a partial schematic diagram of a modified form I of the invention as shown in Fig. 1; and
Fig. 4 is a partial schematic diagram ofyet another modification of the invention, as shown in Fig. 1..
Referring to Fig. l, the reference numeral denotes generally a multi-delay characteristic trip circuit for effecting operation of a circuit breaker 12 to interrupt the circuit between source conductors 14 which are connected to a suitable alternating current source, and load circuit conductors 15, which may be connected to a suitable load or load circuit (not shown). The circuit breaker 12 may be of any type Well known in the art and is shown schematically for the purposes of illustration as being latched in the closed position by means of a latch member 17 and a trip member 18, Which may be released by means of a trip winding 19. In order to provide for energizing the trip winding 19, a flip-flop 20 is provided for applying a trip signal to the trip winding 19 through a transistor amplifier circuit 22.
The flip-flop 20 may comprise a pair of transistors T5, T6 having their emitters e connected to a common ground bus 24 connected to the center tap of a 48 volt source,
while the collectors 0 thereof are connected through collector resistors 27 and 28, respectively, to a bus 25, which is connected to the minus 6-volt tap of the direct-current source. The transistors T5 and T6 are cross-connected, the base b of transistor T5 being connected to the collector c of transistor T6 through a resistor 30, While the base b of transistor T6 is similarly connected to the collector c of transistor T5 through a resistor 31. A capacitor 32 is connected in shunt with the resistor 27 so that the charging current thereof initially renders the transistor T6 saturated to place the flip-flop in a normal or 01f condition when power is first applied. The collector c of transistor T5 is connected to the base 12 of transistor T7 comprising the first stage of the amplifier 22, and since the emitter e of transistor T7 is also connected to bus 24, the transistor T5 functions to reduce the base current of the transistor T7 when the flip-flop 20 is triggered to the on condition. This effects saturation of the transistor T8, comprising a second section of the amplifier 22, thereby connecting the trip coil 19 to the bus 24 to be energized from the 24 volt terminal of the direct-current source.
Deenergization of the trip coil upon opening the breaker is effected by the opening of the shunting connection from the base b of transistor T9 to the conductor 24 through the breaker contacts 12a which open to provide base current for T9, which thus shunts transistor T6 and causes the flip-flop 20 to go to the off condition. This increases the base current of T7 and causes T8 to block and deenergize trip coil 19.
In order to provide for obtaining a relatively longtime delay tripping for the lower values of fault current, a bridge circuit 35 is provided comprising resistors A, B, C and D connected in a Wheatstone bridge circuit between the plus 24 volt and the minus 24 volt terminals of the source. Resistors A and C have a high negative temperature coefficient, while resistors B and D may be of any suitable type. Resistor A has a higher resistance than resistor C when both are at the same temperature. A heater 36 having an adjustable tap 37 is provided for heating the resistor A to produce an unbalance voltage across the bridge circuit 35, which is applied to the base b of a transistor T1 comprising the first stage of a notnot amplifier 38 which is connected to trigger the flipflop 20. The heater 36 is connected to the secondary winding 39 of a current transformer connected in circuit with one of the conductors 14. An adjustable resistance 42 connected across the transformer varies the voltage drop for a particular value of current so as to determine the pick-up point. Zener diodes Z1, Z2 are connected in opposed relation between the heater 36 and the secondary winding 39 for preventing energization of the heater until the available voltage reaches the breakdown value of the silicon diodes which may, for example, have a breakdown voltage on the order of 5 volts. The transistor T1 has its base b connected intermediate the reformers.
3 sisters A and C, while the bus 24 is connected to the emitter e and to a point intermediate the resistors B and D. The collector c of transformer T1 is connected to the bus 25 and to base b of transistor T2 so that the transistor T2 is normally cut off. a
A short-time delay circuit 40 is provided in conjunction with a transistor T4 for triggering the flip-flop 20 after a short delay at current levels higher than that of the long-time delay circuit. The short-time delay circuit may comprise an R-C circuit of a resistor 41 and capacitor 43 connected to a rectifier bridge circuit 44 energized from the secondary winding 39 of the current trans- Zener diodes Z4, Z3 may be connected in the circuit with the bridge circuit 44 and the delay circuit 40, so as to prevent energization of the delay circuit until the voltage of the secondary winding 40 reaches a somewhat higher value than that of the Zener diodes Z1 and Z2, and to limit the voltage of the bridge circuit. The Zener diodes Z3 and Z4 may have a breakdown voltage on the order of 20 volts, for example. A transistor T4 is connected across the capacitor 43 so as to saturate when the voltage of the capacitor 43 reaches a predetermined value, and trigger the flip-flop 20 to effect energization of the trip winding 19.
In order to provide for instantaneous tripping of the circuit breaker 12 at still higher values of fault current, such as under short-circuit conditions, for example, a Zener diode Z5 may be connected to the bridge circuit 44 for applying a control voltage to the base b of a transistor T3 connected in parallel with the transistor T4. For triggering the flip-flop 20 to the on condition at a predetermined short-circuit value of current, the Zener diode Z5 may, for example, have a breakdown voltage on the order of 40 volts.
Under normal load conditions, the voltage developed across the adjustable resistor 42 is less than the 5 volts, the breakdown voltage value of the Zener diodes Z1 and Z2. Accordingly, no current flows in the heater 36, transistor T1 is saturated and transistor T2 is out 011; the delay circuit 40 is not energized, and the transistor T3 remains cut off or blocked. The intermediate point 46 between resistors A and C 'will be negative with respect to the common ground bus 24 so that base current flows in the transistor T1 causing transistor T1 to saturate and transistor T2 to be cut ofi.
Upon the occurrence of an overload, the voltage across the resistor 42 increases, and when it exceeds 5 volts, the Zener diodes Z1 and Z2 break down so that current commences to flow in the heater 36. This results in an increase in the temperature of resistor A and a decrease in the resistance thereof so that the intermediate point 46 becomes less negative and reduces the base current of the transistor T1. The collector voltage of transistor T2 increases to a value which causes the flip-flop 20 to change state to the on condition, with transistor T5 saturated and transistor T6 cut off. This diverts the base current of transistor T7 causing it to out OE, and causing transistor T8 to saturate. The trip winding 19 is thereupon connected between the common ground bus 24 and the minus 24 volt terminal of the source to trip the circuit breaker after a relatively long time delay which is determined by the heating effect of the heater 36. The value of current at which the time delay will commence is determined by the adjustment of the resistor 42, while the time delay for a given value of overload is determined by adjustment of the contact 37 and the values of the resistors A and C.
Should the overload exceed a predetermined minimum value such that a shorter delay in tripping may be desirable, the voltage across the secondary winding 39 will become sufiicient to cause breakdown of the diode Z4. Diode Z3 limits the maximum voltage that may be applied to time delay circuit, thus providing more constant time delay. Capacitor 43 will thereupon be charged at a rate determined by the setting of the resistor 41.
Since the base b of the transistor T4 is connected across the capacitor 43, the base current of transistor T4 is a function of the instantaneous voltage on the capacitor 43. As the base current increases, the collector voltage of transistor T4 rises until the state of the flip-flop 20 is changed after a time delay, which is less than that required for the long-time relay circuit to change the state of the flip-flop.
Should the current in the conductors 14 reach a higher value of overload than that necessary to cause operation of the short-time delay circuit 40, such as, for example, a short circuit value, the voltage of the secondary winding 39 will rise to the breakdown value of the Zener diode Z5. The base current of transistor T3 is thereupon increased, and the collector voltage of transistor T3 increases rapidly until it reaches a value suflicient to change the state of the flip-flop 20 and efiect instantaneous tripping of the circuit breaker 12. The individual time delay circuits have characteristic curves similar to the curves a, d and f, and the overall time current characteristic of the delay circuit results in a composite curve comprising the solid line sections a, d and 1 which approximates the characteristic of direct series overcurr-ent trip attachments presently used on many low-voltage circuit breakers. Reset of the flip-flop is effected whenever the breaker trips, by the opening of contacts 12a which efiects saturation of T9, to shunt T6 and return the flip-flop 20 to the off condition. v
If it is desired to utilize a trip circuit 10' with the short-time delay circuit 40 omitted, the rectifier circuit 44 of Fig. -1 may also be omitted, and Zener diode Z5 may be used to connect the base I) of transistor T3 directly to a secondary winding 39 of the current transformer. In this arrangement, the heater 36 functions in the manner hereinbefore described to efiect operation of the long-time delay circuit, while the instantaneous trip transistor T3 is connected between the bus 25 and the common bus 24 in the same manner as hereinbefore described in connection with the circuit of Fig. 1 and responds only to the negative half'cycles of primary current when the Zener diode Z5 breaks down for effecting operation of the flip-flop 20 through the connection described in connection with Fig. 1.
Referring to Fig. 4, it will be seen that the current transformer may have its secondary winding 39 connected to the primary winding '49 of an auxiliary transformer 50 having a plurality of tapped secondary windings 51, 52 and 53. The secondary windingSl may be connected directly across the resistor A to produce the heating effect directly in the resistor, and Zener diodes Z6 and Z7 corresponding to the diodes Z1 and Z2 of Fig. 1, may be connected in circuit with the winding 51 and the resistor A having a lO-volt breakdown value. By making the winding 51 have twice as many turns as the winding 49, operation of the long-time delay circuit may be placed on the same level as that for the arrangement shown in Fig. 1. By utilizing a 'winding 52 having one-fourth of the turns of the winding 49, 10-volt Zener diode Z8 corresponding to diode Z5 of Fig. 1, may be used in connection with the instantaneous trip transistor T3, and by providing the winding 53 with half as many turns as the winding 49, another lO-volt Zener diode Z9 corresponding to Z4 of Fig. 1, may be used to connect the short-time delay circuit 40. In this manner, all of the Zener diodes have the same breakdown value, thus assisting in standardizing the circuit. In other respects, the circuit operates in the same manner as described in connection with Fig. 1 of the drawings. The tapped secondary windings may be used to adjust the pickup points of the several delay circuits.

The characteristics of the different circuit elements are readily adjustable to conform to the characteristics of fuses, cutouts, circuit breakers and other associated circuit devices with which the particular circuit breaker is adapted to cooperate.

Factory certified 1958 Ferrari 250GT Berlinetta Tour de France Coachwork by Pinin Farina/ Scaglietti Chassis no. 1039GT Engine no. 1039GT
The organisers of the Tour de France always allowed outright winners and class winners of the French car-racing marathon to add the name of the race to that of the car. Nothing could be more appropriate for the Ferrari 250GT Berlinetta Competition - its official name - which won nine consecutive victories with the original model and then the short wheelbase version. Giorgio Schön, Ferrari 250 Grand Touring Cars, Ed. Nicola Cutrera.
By the late 1950s, road car production had ceased to be a sideline for Ferrari and was seen as vitally important to the companys future stability. Thus the 250, Ferraris first volume-produced model, can be seen as critically important, though production of the first of the line - the 250 Europa, built from 1953 to 1954 - amounted to fewer than twenty. Before the advent of the Europa, Ferrari had built road-going coupés and convertibles in small numbers, usually to special customer order using a sports-racing chassis as the basis. Ghia and Vignale, of Turin and Touring, of Milan were responsible for bodying many of these, but there was no attempt at standardisation for series production and no two cars were alike.
The early evolution of the 250 series coincided with an important stage in the development of the 3-litre Ferrari V12. A re-jigged (68x68mm bore/stroke) version of the 340 Americas Lampredi-designed long block engine had been chosen for the 250 Europa, but with the introduction of the 250 Europa GT in 1954 a change was made to Colombos lighter and more compact short-stroke (73x58.8mm) unit. Power output of the single-overhead-camshaft all-aluminium engine was 220bhp at 7,000rpm.
At 2,600mm the 250 Europa GT chassis was 200mm shorter in the wheelbase than that of the Europa and followed Ferraris established practice, being a multi-tubular frame tied together by oval main tubes, though the independent front suspension now employed coil springs instead of the previous transverse leaf type. A four-speed, Porsche-type, all-synchromesh gearbox transmitted power to the semi-elliptically sprung live rear axle, while hydraulic drums all round looked after braking.
The 250GT Competizione Tour de France evolved from the preceding 250 Europa GT and competition Mille Miglia models, using the same 2,600mm wheelbase as the former and the Colombo V12 engine developing up to 280bhp. Its suspension arrangements remained essentially as before, although a front anti-roll bar was included, for the first time in a Ferrari. Maranello had yet to be convinced of the desirability of disc brakes, so the 250GT Competiziones performance was restrained by massive drums with a friction surface of 1,278cm2.
A handful of what can be interpreted as prototypes of the 250GT Competizione appeared on chassis manufactured within the preceding 250 Europa GT series, Scagliettis on chassis number 0425GT - shown at the Geneva Salon in 1956 being accepted as one that presaged the forthcoming Tour de France series. The Modenese coachbuilder went on to body the vast majority of 250 Competizione Tour de France models built between 1956 and 1959, although to a Pinin Farina design. These cars are commonly differentiated by the number of vents in the rear-quarter sail panel rather than their year of manufacture, while expert opinion differs with regard to the total number manufactured (75-77).
A single vent model with original covered headlights, Ferrari 250GT Competizione chassis number 1039GT is the 69th Tour de France manufactured and was invoiced on 26th November 1958 by SEFAC Ferrari to Luigi Chinetti in North America for Hastings Harcourt of Santa Barbara, California. In 1959 the car was sold to H G Peters and then in 1964 to Greenwich Autos of Greenwich, Connecticut. The engine was briefly replaced by a Ford unit around this time but the car was later reunited with the original. Officially inspected and authenticated by Ferrari in January 2005, chassis 1039GT comes complete with factory certification confirming the chassis, engine and body to be original.
In 1974 chassis 1039GT was sold to long standing Ferraristi Charles W Betz and Fred Peters of Orange County, California. By the early 1980s it had passed to Chantal and Larry Menser of Seal Beach, California. Larry Menser drove the car, registered LE 58 TDF, at the Monterey historic races in August 1983, 84, 85 and 86.
In June 1987 1039GT was sold to lawyer and collector Joe Moch of Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was subsequently advertised for sale in Ferrari Market Letter and in 1992 was sold via The Chequered Flag to the current owner in Switzerland. In September 1993 it was entered in the Chopard Concours, Mies and in February 1997 was displayed at the official opening of Ferrari Suisse headquarters, Nyon. Fittingly, 1039GT took part in Frances Tour Auto in 1997 and 1999.
While in the well-known present ownership the car has been restored in Italy by some of the finest of recognised Ferrari specialists, the engine being rebuilt by Diena (3,000 kilometres since) with coachwork by Bacchelli & Villa and interior by Luppi. Finished in Rosso Corsa with beige leather upholstery, 1039GT is offered with FIA papers, Ferrari Certificate (2005) and Swiss Permis de Circulation. It drove well when tested recently for Octane magazine, whose report is scheduled for publication in the January 2006 issue.
By winning those nine consecutive Tours de France, the Ferrari 250GT Berlinetta demonstrated peerless qualities as a Granturismo, proving equally at home on city streets, the open road and the race track. A fully restored and correct example of this legendary dynasty, 1039GT offers a future owner the prospect of hugely enjoyable period performance motoring and entry into the most prestigious of historic motor sports events including the Ferrari Challenge, Mille Miglia and, of course, the Tour Auto. It may be imported to the EU via Great Britain at the reduced VAT rate of just 5% for historic cars.

The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach
Though The Art of Fielding is his fiction debut, Chad Harbach writes with the self-assurance of a seasoned novelist. He exercises a masterful precision over the language and pacing of his narrative, and in some 500 pages, there's rarely a word that feels out of place. The title is a reference to baseball, but Harbach's concern with sports is more than just a cheap metaphor. The Art of Fielding explores relationships--between friends, family, and lovers--and the unpredictable forces that complicate them. There's an unintended affair, a post-graduate plan derailed by rejection letters, a marriage dissolved by honesty, and at the center of the book, the single baseball error that sets all of these events into motion. The Art of Fielding is somehow both confident and intimate, simple yet deeply moving. Harbach has penned one of the year's finest works of fiction
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Erin Morgenstern’s dark, enchanting debut takes us to the black and white tents of Le Cirque des Reves, a circus that arrives without warning, simply appearing when yesterday it was not there. Young Celia and Marco have been cast into a rivalry at The Night Circus, one arranged long ago by powers they do not fully understand. Over time, their lives become more intricately enmeshed in a dance of love, joy, deceit, heartbreak, and magic. Author Morgenstern knows her world inside and out, and she guides the reader with a confident hand. The setting and tone are never less than mesmerizing. The characters are well-realized and memorable. But it is the Night Circus itself that might be the most memorable of all.
Murder Casts A Shadow by A Hawai'i Mystery
New Year's Eve, 1934. While Honolulu celebrates with champagne and fireworks, someone is making away with the Bishop Museum's portrait of King Kalakaua and doing away with its curator. A series of brutal murders follows, and an unlikely pair, newspaper reporter Mina Beckwith and visiting playwright Ned Manusia, find themselves investigating a twisted trail of clues in an attempt to recover the painting and uncover the killer.
Honolulu in the 1930s is a unique (and volatile) mix of the provincial and the urban, East and West, islander and mainlander. Mina and Ned, both of Polynesian descent, confront the complexities and contradictions of Island life as their investigation takes them into the heart of Honolulu society and close-knit local families, whose intricate histories and relationships will have a direct impact on future lives and events. A lively cast of characters aids Mina and Ned in their search for answers: Cecily Chang, an antiques and explosives expert, steers them through Chinatown's back alleys; Hinano Kahana, a hula chanter and dancer, brings Ned closer to solving an ancient riddle; Mina's grandmother, Hannah, helps them unlock a secret from the past.
How Should A Person Be by Sheila Heti
Reeling from a failed marriage, Sheila, a twentysomething playwright, finds herself unsure of how to live and create. When Margaux, a talented painter and free spirit, and Israel, a sexy and depraved artist, enter her life, Sheila hopes that through close—sometimes too close—observation of her new friend, her new lover, and herself, she might regain her footing in art and life.
Using transcribed conversations, real emails, plus heavy doses of fiction, the brilliant and always innovative Sheila Heti crafts a work that is part literary novel, part self-help manual, and part bawdy confessional. It's a totally shameless and dynamic exploration into the way we live now, which breathes fresh wisdom into the eternal questions: What is the sincerest way to love? What kind of person should you be?
