You lean on coffee to make it through the afternoon
You may perk up immediately after a cup of coffee, but even after the effect wears off a few hours later, the caffeine actually sticks around your body for quite a while. A 2013 study showed that caffeine has a disruptive effect on sleep even six hours before bed. According to the study, the 5pm cup you're filling to get you through the end of the workday may be causing you to sleep less, and worse.
Your phone has a spot in bed
You know when you hear your alarm in the morning and have to rummage through your blankets to find your phone? The National Sleep Foundation's 2011 “Sleep in America Poll: Communications and Technology in the Bedroom” reported that about 40% of Americans use their phone at bedtime, while 60% use laptops within an hour before bed.
While catching up on your social life seems like a perfectly relaxing end to the day, the light emitted from your device has been shown to reduce the levels of the hormone melatonin, which regulates your circadian rhythms. When you get into bed with your phone or computer, you're throwing your internal day-night clock for a loop, making it more difficult to sleep well.

22 February 2013 07:47 [Source: ICIS news]
KOLKATA (ICIS)--India’s Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizer will be setting up a $45m (€34m) technology upgradation fund of chemical producers in the small and medium enterprises (SME) sector, a ministry official said on Friday.
It has been proposed that the fund will be created from 50% contribution by the Indian government and the balance from a cess to be levied on chemical production by all producers in the industry.
The process of seeking government budgetary allocation has already been started by submitting the proposal to India’s Planning Commission and following latter’s approval, it will be forwarded to the Ministry of Finance for necessary provisioning in the budget, the official added.
“This is a welcome baby step,” Anil Bharadwaj, Secretary General, Federation of Indian Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (FISME) told ICIS.
“Unlike small and medium auto ancillary, engineering and electrical companies which have evolved to be global players, downstream chemical units were yet to reach that stage despite huge potential.
According to data of Ministry of Micro, Small, Medium Enterprises, there were more than 57,000 units engaged in production of chemicals and plastics classified as MSME.
“Also, technological obsolescence in chemical production and process was faster than engineering and electrical sectors and any support to small and medium chemical enterprises was most welcome,” he said.
Bharadwaj’s main concern was the small size of the fund. “A similar technology upgradation fund for the Indian textile sector was set up with a corpus of $4.5bn.” he added.
One of the suggestions received from SME chemical units was to focus the fund on region-specific clusters of downstream chemical plants, the ministry official said.
For example, chemical unit cluster near Vadodara, Vapi, Ankleshwar and Dahod in chemical, petrochemical and refining hub of western Indian province of Gujarat had shown interest in adopting membrane-based green technology for their production process to make units pollution free.
The Indian chemical industry accounted for about 14% of India’s industrial production and 10% of total exports. Growing at 15% per year, the chemical industry contributed 7% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), according to government data.

Improving Hall Place
Published 8:16 pm Wednesday, January 7, 2009
Many friends and neighbors have taken the time to express their sincere thanks to Hall Place Community Association for once again making Hall Place Park festive by decorating our special Christmas tree and placing a beautiful holiday arrangement on top of our Hall Place sign.

Tucson, AZ, United States (4E) – A former soldier convicted in 2009 for killing an Iraqi family died on Saturday, two days after hanging himself inside his prison cell in Arizona.
Steven Green died from suicide by hanging, according to deputy chief medical examiner with Pima County, Dr. Eric Peters. The Federal Bureau of Prisons said he was unresponsive since committing suicide on Thursday.
Green was found guilty in the U.S. District Court in Kentucky of raping a 14-year-old Iraqi girl, shooting her dead and burning her body to hide the crime in March 2006, when he was a private in the elite 101st Airborne Division deployed to Mahmudiya, Iraq. Before the killing, Green shot dead her parents and her 6-year-old sister in the town of Yusufiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad.
Green was with three other soldiers – Jesse Spielman, Paul Cortez and James Barker – when he killed the al-Janabi family.
The crime was discovered only after Green was discharged from the Army for personality disorder. He was arrested in June 2006 and, in 2009, sentenced to multiple life sentences without possibility of parole. He apologized to the relatives of his victims.
Spielman, Cortez and Barker were tried in a military court for covering up the crime and are serving lengthy sentences in a military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

Newly-sworn in Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has warned politicians to eschew violent conducts capable of threatening the peace and tranquility of the state, ahead of this year’s governorship election.
Aiyedatiwa gave the warning in his New Year statewide broadcast to the people of the state, adding that the warning became imperative as political activities will gain prominence this year.
He said: “As we are all aware, this is also the year for our governorship election. Expectedly, political activities will gain prominence as we march towards the election.
”However, let me implore all political parties, aspirants and their followers to eschew violent conducts that can threaten the peace and tranquility of our State and ensure that they follow strictly the guidelines issued by the electoral umpire.
“The election should be a contest of ideas and choices and not an opportunity to settle political scores or an excuse for calumny.”
The governor also called on the people of the state to intensify prayers for the peace and prosperity of the state.
Aiyedatiwa, while eulogising the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, said that he, “left an indelible mark on the annals of time and his contributions to the development of our State, and indeed Nigeria, are etched in history.
“As we have promised, we will not only give our late former Governor a befitting State burial but will also immortalise his name, just as we will strive to complete all the developmental projects he embarked upon as Governor of Ondo State.”
Speaking on the political crisis that engulfed the state, the governor said: “Those challenges have shaped our resolve to, more than ever before, bring our people together and pursue the attainment of a peaceful and prosperous Ondo State.
“It is time to put the past behind us and focus all our human and material resources into building on the foundation that this administration has so far laid.
“While acknowledging that 2023 was a very tough year, it also gave renewed hope that we will again brave any storms that lies ahead in 2024 and beyond. I am filled with fresh hope about the possibilities of better days to come.”

President Joe Biden Must immediately resign from office, or face impeachment.
I ask you to support this action, and encourage House Members to join in calling for his removal.
First he has destroyed any credibility with the American people by his refusal to answer questions form the press and people. His attitude and actions indicate a distain for the people, and support his statement before the election; Joe Biden was asked if voters deserved to know whether he would pack the Supreme Court, he replied, “No, they don’t.” Biden said the American people will “know my opinion on court-packing when the election is over.”
Evidently President Biden thinks the American people deserve no answers about anything.
He has also destroyed his credibility by continual lying, His comments about Afghanistan have proven to be totally opposite to reality, with 8 months to plan an evacuation he has repeatedly claimed his hands were tied by the previous administration, the original agreement was to be out by May, he extended it to September 11 for “Photo Ops” and to give Americas enemies a political as well as strategic victory. Then with no plan he moved up the date to August 31. He could have very well extended the date the first time to December, then withdrew and had an orderly evacuation, got all Americans and SIV personnel out safely, then changed the date to the date we actually left.
Third The State Department has no clue how many Americans were abandoned in Kabul. Americans who had submitted their passports to the Embassy for exit visas, had their passports and papers destroyed by the Embassy personnel when they destroyed classified information.
Forth He coordinated nothing with our NATO allies, they were taken by suppress as much as the Taliban forces were, maybe more so. He irresponsibility in handing personal information to the Taliban forces on people we wanted to evacuate has and will continue to cause people who helped us to die. There is currently murder in the streets of Kabul right now.
Fifth as a result of his actions America is now threatened by China, North Korea, Iran and Russia all who see weakness in American policy.
All of this and much more on the economy and the COVID pandemic, has proven that he is incapable of leading this country, his advisors are just as incompetent, or willfully complacent in the outrageous incompetence of this administration that they should all be removed form office also.
Jen Psaki said that they have “Assessed that the Taliban does not have the ability to attack the United States”, this gives me no comfort in that everything she says proves to be a lie.
Dr Fauci on COVID-19, has been proven and admitted to lying for political reasons, why should anyone trust what he says now?
The only way to restore the peoples faith in government at this point is the removal of these people from office.
Please contact your Congress Representatives and Senators, you can copy and paste my letter, or use it as a reference to write your own.
Just my thoughts for today.

After Stephen's write up and after reading other information, I got a case (500 rounds) to have on hand. The stuff is "authoritative," for want of a better term. In my BHP it sounds like a full charge .357 going off, and the ballistics aren't too far off the 125-grain Remington .357s I carry in my 2 1/2" M66.
Hello. It did substantial damage on a deer I killed with it about a year ago and folks on both sides of the "stopping power" schools of study seem to rate it pretty highly. The thing I've found about it is that it is usually very consistent shot to shot over the chronograph from various 9mm handguns and it doesn't seem to get more erratic in the shorter barrels as do some loads. Expansion has been pretty consistent as well.
I'll answer my own question. If you buy non-Proload from Proload to your residence, its $8.50 out the door, excluding shipping charges. Shipping is by weight. Georgia Arms charges shipping based on total $$$ value bought, no other charges. Much easier and cheaper to go with Georgia-Arms. They sell new Gold Dot rounds at good prices also.

Nipping web problems in the bud
Sigma-Nip®, positioned on a roller and linked to a computer, provides real time nip analysis
Dupont, Metso Paper and PGI are among leading companies who have recently purchased Sigma-Nip®, an electronic nip analysis system which quickly and cost effectively measures roller profiles and diagnoses roll alignment.
By recording nip width via sensors, it makes time-consuming and inexact tools such as carbon paper and embossed foils obsolete, according to its manufacturer, Sensor Products, based in Madison, New Jersey, USA.
When Sigma-Nip® is used, loading problems, skewing and crown deficiencies are quickly exposed. It consists of a chain of sensor elements and Windows-based software. The latest sensors have been improved to withstand repeated high pressures and temperatures as well as routine exposure to grease and solvents. When placed between two contacting rollers, the sensors capture data and ultimately record and assimilate nip width readings on a laptop while it is being viewed. Adjustments to rollers are made in real time while the sensors are in the closed, (non-rotating) nip. Easy-to-interpret statistical data and graphical displays � transmitted via wireless or through a USB port � update continuously as technicians perform their tests and adjustments.
Taking only minutes to deploy across the roller face by a single operator, Sigma-Nip® is useful for ongoing maintenance, as well as during equipment setups and shutdowns. As a quality control tool, its evenly-loaded roller sets are much less likely to cause web breaks and down time. It also improves web control and print quality by reducing uneven web pulling, which can lead to sheet walking, wrinkles, jams and mis-registration.
�Sigma-Nip® has come a long way from concept to being a reliable, easy-to-use nip profile measuring tool,� says Mike Stoltz of Metso Paper. �Being able to save and review the entire real-time data from nip closing to nip opening is extremely useful, but the ability to correlate accurate nip width data to roll deflection is an exceptional benefit.�
Sigma-Nip® is designed for maximum versatility. The system is portable and comes with its own carrying case. Depending on the number of sensors ordered, the same sensor chain can be used to measure different sized rolls. Nip widths from 00.38cm to 22.9cm can be measured, and pressures from 2.8 kg/cm² to 3,000 211 kg/cm² can be withstood. Large pulp and paper rolls, small converting rolls and calender stacks are all potentially measurable by Sigma Nip® and face lengths of 90cm to 1,125cm can be accommodated.
Minimal computer knowledge or training is needed since the system prompts users through the few steps needed for installation and set up. Software enhancements include a comparison mode, where up to three nip width readings can be viewed simultaneously, and an alignment tool, which instantly draws a line to indicate nip width variations.
The New Sigma-Nip Mini
The latest introduction from Sensor Products is the Mini Sigma-Nip® for measuring nip widths of rolls with circumferences smaller than 51cm. With this unit, large, bone-hard rolls with narrow contact areas can also be characterised by an electronic system for the first time.
In Mini Sigma-Nip®, the 168 microscopic sensor points that comprise each finger are densely packed within an 8.4cm active sensing area. This yields nip measurements with 2.5 times the resolution of the larger Sigma-Nip®, the company says.

Before I left, these guys came in for their puppy vaccinations.
Now I know what you are thinking. "They SO Cute. I'll take two." Now here's the reality. The males weigh about 90-110 lbs. when they are grown. They don't eat like a bird either. I hope you have extra room in the trunk to haul dog food home for your twins. I'm just sayin'. While everyone is complaining about $4 per gallon gas, you'll be the one complaining about the price of dog food.
They are cute though, I admit. I just want to squeeze and hug them when they come in. Even the adults. I try not to let them step on my toe though. :)

Eleanor Friedberger's new single, Roosevelt Island, is taken from her debut solo album, Last Summer, which is available through Merge Records. Eleanor will be making her UK live debut at Bethnal Green on December 1st 2011, where she will be performing songs from her album, backed by a full live band.
The guerrilla style video for Roosevelt Island was shot on the island itself. Eleanor boards a tram to a funfair, where she spends her time riding on the rides with her head in a notebook.
Eleanor is well known as a member of The Fiery Furnaces, which she formed with her brother Matthew in 2000. They have had nine studio albums to mixed reviews.

These are the NMAX and Honda PCX Rivals who are fuel efficient
A scooter pioneer from Taiwan, Kymco has re-entered the Indonesian market since 2017 through PT. Smart Motor Indonesia. One of the mainstays is the Downtown 250i variant which sells for IDR 68 million OTR Jakarta. How is the performance and what are the advantages of this Yamaha XMAX competitor? To find out, we immediately tested it with daily use and touring to Ciletuh, Sukabumi, West Java via Bogor and Cikidang. Let’s look at the reviews
Even though it’s big, it turns out that this scooter presents a sporty appearance. Most visible on the front, starting from the main light which has a sharp design and the turn signal which curves follow the shape of the body like an arrow. Other body parts also present aggressive curves with dynamic lines. The taillights are unique because they are equipped with silver trim in the middle. The color choices are Pearly Black, Mat Silver Crystal, Mat Gray and Matt White. From the side, you can see that the seat is long and large, even the height of the seat for the driver and pillion looks much different. Coupled with the position of the high handlebars, can you imagine the riding position on this motorbike? Hehehe…
FEATURES & TECHNOLOGY
The speedometer with a blue background combines analog and digital. For analog displays the speed meter on the left side and the tachometer on the right side. In the middle there is a digital screen containing some information, starting from the engine temperature and fuel capacity shown in the form of a bar. Then there are 2 choices of top and bottom information. Below there is an odometer, trip A & B, and oil service. While above, there is real time fuel consumption, there are choices of km/liter and L/100 km, battery volts, air temperature, and average fuel consumption. What’s unique is that the average fuel consumption display only appears if the bottom screen is showing trip A. The switch is no different from other motorbikes, but there’s something odd, the hazard button is on the front right side so it’s a bit hard to reach. The unique thing is that this hazard can still turn on even though the contact is in the off position, very useful when the motorbike has problems in the dark. What’s cool is that the two brake handles have 4 play distance settings, so you can adjust the rider’s wishes if you want a close or far handle. Under the handlebars there is an ignition key with 3 ways to open the seat, first when the handlebars are locked, then when the lock is off and when the ignition is on by pressing and turning the key to the left. There is also a small storage space to the right and left, unfortunately it’s not too deep so you can’t even store a 600 ml capacity bottle. But on the left side there is a USB charger socket to charge the smartphone. Then underneath there is a fuel tank, to open the cover you only need to pull the lock, you will see the mouth of the gas tank and can be opened with a key. There is a large storage space under the seat, it can fit 2 full faces at once and is equipped with LED lighting. Very suitable for those who like to travel far. Oh yes, the seat is equipped with a hydraulic spring, making it easier not to lift your hand. The Downtown 250i front suspension is telescopic, while the rear is dual pretentious with 5 pre-load settings. Setting it up is quite easy, you don’t need a spanner key, you just plug it in using a screwdriver as the lever and then rotate it. The wheel circumference is striped, the front uses a 14-inch ring with 120/80-14 tires and 150/70-13 rear, both are tubeless.
RIDING POSITION & HANDLING
This large seat has a height of 810 mm, not too high but wide enough, so that the 170 cm tall tester needs to stand on his two feet. But behind that there are advantages, very comfortable bro!!! The character of the foam is thick and soft, even the contours are low in the back so that the driver feels like being swallowed up by the seat, like sitting on a sofa. Coupled with a relatively high backrest that almost reaches half of the rider’s back. Sitting is comfortable, holding the handlebars is also comfortable because of the height. So that the driver is really spoiled when driving the Downtown 250i. Moreover, there is a windshield that is quite high, so it doesn’t block the driver’s view but still holds the wind well. The only note is that the footrests don’t feel long enough, so the rider’s legs when they want to stretch their knees are still bent, not completely straight. This scooter has a net weight of 178 kg, quite heavy but still okay to bend in traffic jams, both in the city of Jakarta and on the busy Sukabumi route, but you have to be careful because the wheelbase is long enough to reach 1553 mm which is prone to getting stuck! Even so, it turns out that the handling is admirable. To devour Cikidang and Ciletuh corners, they are very agile and easy to control. His character is very obedient to cornering, there are absolutely no signs of resistance or stiffness. It’s fun when cornering the lower side of the motorbike rarely rubs against the asphalt, so it’s more ‘confident’. It’s a shame that the front suspension for the tester weight of 57 kg is often bottoming due to the short travel, the effect is felt hard when going through uneven roads fast. The rear suspension has 5 pre-load settings to choose from, so it can be adjusted according to each rider’s weight. His character has a relatively slow rebound, so the motorbike feels more stable when devouring corners, so the pillion is also comfortable! On the braking side, the front wheels get wavy semi-oating discs with a diameter of 260 mm which are flanked by 3-piston calipers, while the rear uses 220 mm discs with 2-piston calipers. Both brakes have a soft and grippy response, you just have to be careful because you haven’t used ABS.
The Downtown 250i is equipped with a pure engine capacity of 246.3 cc with a piston diameter of 66 mm and a step of 72 mm. Cooling using the radiator which is located behind the front wheels, so that it can catch the air properly. Since the start of the starter the engine sound is very smooth, minimal vibration with the character of the exhaust sound which is slightly loose, especially when opening the gas. The engine response is fairly good, every gas opening feels like it’s going straight. The smooth CVT area also has minimal vibrations and slippage, making driving more comfortable. When the gas is fully opened, the power will be stuck first at the maximum torque of 23.1 Nm which is at 6,000 rpm. To drive in stop and go conditions or touring with long routes is not a problem, it is really capable and really enough. The character of the engine is typical of over stroke which has a short breath felt at this Kymco, very quickly touching the limiter at 7,000 rpm at a speed of 125 km/hour. The unique claim is that the maximum power of 22.5 hp is actually at 7,750 rpm. Well, you haven’t reached your maximum power yet? The responsiveness of this machine is proven using Racelogic, which records a time of only 4.4 seconds for acceleration 0-60 km/h and 12.3 seconds for 0-100 km/h. Distance 0-201 meters only taken 11.5 seconds. Complete details can be seen in the table. Oh yes, from this data it turns out that it beat its rival, namely the XMAX 250, for example 0-201 meters takes 12.1 seconds
Devouring various road conditions for approximately 700 km, by driving more often hands often “don’t go to school”. By default, you always open the gas because the engine is responsive, it’s fun to ride like that! Even so, the consumption of gasoline using the RON 92 is still quite efficient, averaging 25.4 km/liter as shown on the speedometer. That means with a gas tank capacity of 12.5 liters, one full charge can drive up to 317.5 km. For touring, you rarely stop by gas stations!
For those looking for a 250 cc scooter, the Kymco Downtown 250i can be an interesting choice, because fun to ride offers a comfortable sitting position, very obedient handling and is supported by a responsive engine. It’s just that the features are incomplete, as there is no ABS and the price is more expensive than rivals.


text: INTRODUCTION Lacerations are common in vaginal births. They can result in immense physical and psychological morbidity. Ongoing efforts are being made to reduce birth trauma. We implemented different obstetrical monitoring tools in the labor ward and evaluated their association with the incidence and distribution of different types of birth lacerations. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed nulliparous and multiparous women with singleton term pregnancies in vertex presentation, who gave birth vaginally in our tertiary care center between October 2014 and September 2015. We evaluated 3 different time intervals (T1=4 months before the implementation of the monitoring tools, T2=0-4 months and T3=5-8 months afterwards). Outcome parameters were the incidence and distribution of different types of birth lacerations during the 3 different time intervals. RESULTS The incidence of all types of birth trauma decreased from 95,52% in nulliparous and 68,53% in multiparous women at T1 to 89,92% and 62,27% non-significantly at T3, with a decrease in perineal and vulvar/labial lacerations and an increase in vaginal lacerations. The rate of episiotomies and third-/fourth-degree perineal tears remained stable for nulliparous (33 and 3%) and multiparous (10 and 0.4%) women between the time intervals. CONCLUSION The overall incidence of birth lacerations is high, with lacerations predominantly appearing as first- and second-degree perineal tears but also vaginal and labial lacerations. The initiation of different obstetrical monitoring tools is associated with a change in the incidence of birth traumas and a shift from an external to an internal distribution, probably due to more careful management by the obstetrical staff. The implementation of such tools might help to improve obstetrical management and laboring women might benefit. However, it is important to realize the effect of monitoring and observation itself on the course of observational studies.

Chinese firms may also look to take stakes in Brazil. Bloomberg reported that China Petrochemical Corp is preparing to buy a stake in Portuguese oil producer Galp Energia, according to people familiar with the matter. Previously, Galp said it was looking to raise $2.7 billion by selling a piece of its Brazilian unit, which owns a stake in the Jupiter oil field that may hold more than 30 billion barrels of oil. Galp is part owned by Italian oil giant Eni ( E) and Amorim Energia. The company also owns a 10% stake in Brazil's largest ever find, the Tupi well, which was drilled in 2007 and was the largest oil find in the western hemisphere since the Cantarell field was discovered in Mexico in 1976. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York

Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole. Some party-faithful, particularly in Canada’s west, have been displeased by O’Toole’s alleged ideological shift to the left on certain issues. Photo credit: Twitter/Erin O’Toole
Conservative leader Erin O’Toole recently unveiled his party’s environment platform to show that the Conservative Party has evolved on the climate change file. By embracing the policies of the Liberals, New Democrats and the Greens, O’Toole is banking on the environment not being used as a hammer against him and his party during the next election campaign.
The shift in environment policy is one example of O’Toole’s moderation since he assumed the role of leader of the Conservative Party in August last year.
O’Toole sold himself as a “true blue” conservative in the 2020 leadership race. This was a slap at his main rival Peter MacKay, who had been painted as an establishment figure who represented the ideals of downtown Toronto and not rural Canada. With a nod and a wink, the O’Toole campaign was saying to the party rank and file that Mackay was a bit too “liberal”.
O’Toole prevailed in the leadership race, in part, because he successfully framed himself as a genuine conservative.
However, his actions as of late have been anything but – and it’s starting to impact his support in the west, even in Tory strongholds like Alberta. A recent survey of Alberta voters by Trend Research found that O’Toole ranked last among the three major federal party leaders in terms of positive impression. Additionally, according to rolling statistics collected by Abacus Data, over the course of the past five months the Conservative Party has dropped by over five points in the Sunshine Province.
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and to a lesser degree British Columbia have all been reliable sources of support for the federal Conservative Party for decades. For example, in the last federal election every federal riding in Saskatchewan elected a Conservative Member of Parliament and the Conservative Party garnered over 64 per cent of the vote. In Alberta, the Conservatives hold every riding with the exception of one lone NDP seat in Edmonton. (It should be noted that in 2019, many of those Conservative votes were against policies that Mr. O’Toole now advocates for.)
O’Toole is weighing the odds that he can pick up support in Quebec and Ontario with his shift in policy while maintaining his western base of support to put him into 24 Sussex. It is a political gamble with the assumption that his western base has nowhere else to go. While this could be the case, if the base is not excited or motivated by O’Toole’s leadership, they may choose to just stay home on election day.
Kelly Gallagher has been a partner with Martin Charlton Communications in Saskatchewan since 2005.

The elecrical charge is a very fundamental property of matter. There are two types of charges in nature, named as positive and negative. Matter contains equal number of opposite charges and therefore electrically neutral. Like charges repel and opposite charges attract. It means that there is push or pull on a charge kept near another charge. Potential or Voltage is a measure of this push. This force is a measure of the energy content of a charge, or the work that can be done by that charge when it moves from a region of higher potential to a lower one. We cannot measure an absolute potential, what we measure is the potential difference between two points. Such a difference can be created by separating the charged particles in matter by chemical reactions, electromagnetic induction etc. Voltage makes the charges move, resulting in the flow of current.
ExpEYES/SEELab3 has several input terminals (A1, A2, A3 etc.) for measuring voltage. Voltage is measured relative to the potential of the ground terminals, considered as at zero volts. If you connect the +ive terminal of the drycell to ground and -ive to A1, the result will be a negative value.
In the PC version you need to tick the checkbox A1 (below Measure Voltages) to display the measured DC value.
The range of the input A1 can be selected. Always set it to a value just above the voltage to be measured. For example, while measuring a 1.5 volt cell the range should be set to 2.5 volts. It will work with the 16 volt range also but the accuracy is better when proper range is selected.
The data of the graph can be saved or shared, in the CSV format. Screenshot also may be saved or shared.
Voltage is probably the physical parameter that is measured more than any other. Modern measuring instruments converts all other parameters like temperature, pressure etc. to voltage signals by using appropriate sensor elements.
The very process of measurement may change the value of the measured parameter. A simple example is measuring the temperature of water using a mercury thermometer. Some heat flow happens between water and the thermometer, resulting in changing the temperature of water. This is negligible if the quantity of water is more, but it could be significant for one drop of water.
A similar thing happens while measuring voltage also. Some amount of charge flows into the voltmeter, affecting it’s voltage. An ideal voltmeter should have infinite input impedance, means no current flow into it. Most of the voltmeters have an input impedance of 1 $ M\Omega $. It means while measuring a 5 volt source the meter draws 5 micro amperes of current. This will not have any visible effect on voltage sources capable of providing milli Amperes of current.
We can demonstrate the effect of the finite input impedance of the measuring device using a capacitor. Charge a 1 uF capacitor from the 5 volt DC supply and start measurig it using A1. Make the connections as shown in the figure below. Momentarily conenct the capacitor terminal with the loose end of the wire from 5 volt.
The voltage as a function of time is shown in the figure on the left below. It can be seen that the voltage goes from 4.7 volts (That’s the supply voltage from USB port of the phone used, may not be exact 5 volts) to zero in a couple of seconds. The 1 uF capacitor losing it’s charge through the input impedance (1 Mohm) of A1 takes that much time.
The figure on the right shows the result using A3 instead of A1. It takes more time because the input impedance of A3 is 10 MOhm. Please not that the measurement by A3 is valid only below 3.3 volts.


Colts free agency: Pay cut for Art Jones
UPDATE: Defensive tackle Art Jones, who headlined the Colts' 2014 free-agent class, has agreed to take a $2 million pay cut for 2016.
That gives the Colts additional breathing room on their increasingly tight salary cap and, perhaps, keeps the Colts from releasing him from his sizable contract.
According to the NFL Players Association media site, Jones' base salary for this season has been trimmed from $4.5 million to $2.5 million. According to ESPN's Field Yates, Jones can recover the amount he loses through incentives and roster bonuses.
Jones has played in just nine games the past two seasons after signing a five-year, $33 million contract in 2014. A severe high ankle sprain rendered him ineffective for much of 2014, then he missed all of 2015 after undergoing ankle surgery following an injury suffered in the preseason.
The Colts are hoping Jones can recover in 2016 and become the force they paid him to be. If he does, he has the potential to thrive in the Colts revamped defense, headed by new defensive coordinator Ted Monachino. Jones and Monachino both came to Indianapolis from the Baltimore Ravens.
The Colts were among the quietest teams in the NFL on the first day of free-agent signings Wednesday. But as I wrote last night, that shouldn't surprise you.
What's next? Prices will start to level off and the Colts could get more active. They were still talking to inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman as of last night, but keep in mind he has other suitors as well. He's likely one of the next dominoes to fall.
Here's a key piece of information: The Colts, by my math, have an estimated $22.9 million in salary cap space after all the moves that have become public. We don't have all the details on Jones' bonuses, which could have some minimal impact on the total, but that's a decent working number to use for the time being.
UPDATE: Colts free-agent tight end Coby Fleener has agreed to a five-year deal with the New Orleans Saints, the team announced Wednesday night.
Fleener reported will sign a $35 million deal, confirming what was already expected -- that the Colts could not afford to accommodate Fleener and fellow tight end Dwayne Allen. The Colts signed Allen to a four-year deal on Monday and will presumably make him their featured tight end.
EARLIER: The Indianapolis Colts have seen the first of their free agents depart for another club.
Starting free safety Dwight Lowery, who became a free agent when his one-year contract expired at 4 p.m., agreed to a deal with the San Diego Chargers. That means the Colts are likely leaning toward inserting promising young player Clayton Geathers into the starting lineup in 2016, on the heels of a strong rookie season.
Meanwhile, the Colts, according to a source, are still among the teams negotiating with inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman. He, too, became a free agent and is eligible to sign with any club. The Colts have relied heavily on Freeman as a key cog in the middle of their defense, and he has been one of the unit’s biggest playmakers.
Also Wednesday, the Colts officially released receiver Andre Johnson, a move that had been expected since the end of last season. Johnson’s released clears $5 million in cap space, giving the Colts some needed flexibility after the signings of Dwayne Allen and Adam Vinatieri earlier this week.
The Colts have, so far, been among the quieter teams in free agency. The signing period opened at 4 p.m. and many monster deals have already been executed. But the Colts, as expected, has been mostly on the sideline.

Motorcyclists face some very serious risks when they are out riding, so they don’t need anyone to make their time on the road even more dangerous. People who are taking care of a property’s landscaping might not realize that they may be introducing a serious hazard for motorcyclists. This occurs when they blow grass clippings into the road.
With only two wheels, motorcycles require constant traction from both tires to be able to remain upright on the road. Grass clippings can cause that traction to be lost. This causes the motorcyclist to lose control and can lead to a wreck. Unfortunately, it is possible that these crashes will be fatal or produce very serious injuries.
Some bikers note that hitting grass clippings while you are on a motorcycle is the equivalent to hitting black ice. North Carolina law states that you can’t litter or place debris in the roadway, but this law doesn’t pertain to grass clippings. Some municipalities do have an ordinance against blowing the clippings into the road, so there is a chance that some people who do it will face fines or a misdemeanor charge.
Making the hazard a primary focus of an awareness campaign might help keep motorcyclists safe. This can help save lives and can mean that bikers are able to enjoy their ride without having to worry about this type of hazard when there are so many others they have to be concerned with.
For motorcyclists who are involved in a crash, finding out if another party can be held liable is vital. This lets them know whether they have the option of seeking compensation or not.

As AdScammer, “Rob the Cynic” points out to me in a recent email… If The Definition Of Stupidity Is Doing The Same Thing Over And Over Again And Expecting A Different Result ... What does it say about WPP that they’ve gone and done something very similar to their corporate car crash, Enfatico, for LG Electronics? That’s right folks, according to BrandRepublic.Asia, Korean electronics giant, LG has handed its global PR account to WPP, which is forming a specialized team, LG-One, to handle the US$2 million account. Yes, in the “You can’t make this fucking shit up” category, the Poisoned Dwarf has decided to put his head in the gas oven one more time. At least this will be hosted through Ogilvy, and there are no claims to be creating another “Agency of the Future.” I would hope that by now the fucktards have stopped making that particular claim. Speaking of fucktards, Draft/FCB has gone very quiet these days. Time to start rattling the cage. Stay tuned.
And they work at WPP!

Sony Pictures Classics bought the US distribution rights for the film in a low seven figure deal that was announced on September 11, 2014. SPC gave the film a one-week qualifying run for the Oscars starting December 5, 2014, with a wider theatrical release on January 16, 2015. The film went into full wide release in the United States on February 27, 2015.
The film was part of the confidential data stolen in the Sony Pictures Entertainment hack incident. It was subsequently leaked onto peer-to-peer file sharing websites on November 27, 2014, over a month ahead of its intended public release. Along with it came Fury and three other at-the-time unreleased Sony Pictures films (Annie, Mr. Turner and To Write Love on Her Arms). Within three days of the initial leak, Still Alice had been downloaded by an estimated 103,832 unique IPs.

Nigerian singer, Seyi Shay says her Instagram account has fallen into the wrong hands which explains why her almost nekked photos are being circulated.
The singer further assured her fans that her management is working around the clock to have the account back and ‘restore sanity.’
Seyi disclosed this after a fan asked her why her almost nkked photos are being leaked.
“I cannot tell why/who is doing this, but my IG account has been compromised & my privacy is being violated. Seems to be a deliberate attack as the photos circulating are not from a recent exchange.

Pipeline Leak Detection Handbook is a concise, detailed, and inclusive leak detection best practices text and reference book. It begins with the basics of leak detection technologies that include leak detection systems, and information on pipeline leaks, their causes, and subsequent consequences. The book moves on to further explore system infrastructures, performance, human factors, installation, and integrity management, and is a must-have resource to help oil and gas professionals gain a comprehensive understanding of the identification, selection, design, testing, and implantation of a leak detection system. Informs oil and gas pipeline professionals on the basics of leak detection technologies, the required field instrumentation, telecommunication infrastructures, human factors, and risk mitigation considerations Leads the reader through the complex process of understanding the pipeline’s unique environment and how to develop a leak detection program
Ageing infrastructure and declining water resources are major concerns with a growing global population. Controlling water loss has therefore become a priority for water utilities around the world. In order to improve efficiencies, water utilities need to apply good practices in leak detection. Leak Detection: Technology and Implementation assists water utilities with the development and implementation of leak detection programs. Leak detection and repair is one of the components of controlling water loss. In addition, techniques are discussed within this book and relevant case studies are presented. The book provides useful and practical information on leakage issues. Table of Contents Introduction; The Technology Matrices; Acoustic Principles; History of Acoustics; Leak Detection Technologies; Other Techniques; Optimization tools for leak location; Optimization Principle; System Evaluation; Field Data Process; Optimization Analysis; Post-optimization Analysis; Case Studies; Useful and practical information on leakage issues.
Pipeline spills occur as pipeline infrastructure ages and more hazardous products are transported. Regrettably, too many leak detection systems fail to detect these leaks, and other leak detection systems are ignored by the operators because they are unreliable. Thus, leaks that should have been small spills become disasters that cost pipeline owners millions of dollars. The key to the successful operation of pipeline leak detection systems is management commitment that assures the allocation of sufficient resources to the ongoing maintenance of leak detection systems and their supporting components. Every pipeline operator should consider a role for a leak detection champion who understands how their system works, continually monitors its performance, and supports the Pipeline Controllers. The leak detection system is not "fit-and-forget" and it requires ongoing management which is best achieved in-house with vendor support. Building a companywide leak detection culture, where pipeline leak detection is understood and valued from the top ranks to the field operators will reduce loss of containment incidents. "Introduction to Pipeline Leak Detection" explains the key leak detection technologies deployed to detect leaks on pipelines today in simple concise language that is easily understood by everyone.

Panic and chaos reigned at its peak when a fire broke out in a marriage hall kitchen due to leakage in LPG cylinder. However, no casualties were reported in the incident as Fire Brigade succeeded in dousing the fire in the nick of time.
The fire incident was reported in the Ajni-based Siddheshwar Mangal Karyalaya on Wednesday. An LPG cylinder kept at the kitchen of the marriage hall suddenly caught fire due to leakage. The fire spread to other material kept at the kitchen. As soon as the fire broke out, people present at the hall ran helter-skelter to save their lives. Had the cylinder exploded due to heat of the fire it would have led to a major tragedy as more than 1000 guests were present at the reception basement.
The hall was hosting marriage function of Karde and Chandekar families. A woman present at the hall said that the hall is constructed in such a manner that in the event of any untoward incident, it is very difficult to vacate the place immediately and thus posed major risk to the lives of people specifically the kids.
Meanwhile some of the guests informed the Fire Brigade about the fire. Three fire tenders were rushed to the spot and the fire was brought under control. Frightfully, more than eight gas cylinders were kept at the kitchen when the fire broke out. Ironically, no fire-fighting equipment was installed at the marriage hall.
Ajni police have registered an offence in this connection and probing the matter further.

This is a fantastic book! It tells the stories of three Black Americans and their real-life adventures in the Wild West. And it does it in a graphic-novel-like style that is engaging and fun. I found it at the library and might just have to pick up a copy to add to my homeschooling history shelves.
The three heroes it features are "Stagecoach Mary" Fields, Bass Reeves, and Bob Lemmons. I actually got this from the library because I'm working on an article about Mary Fields for my next Prairie Times column, and I thought this was going to be just a standard biography, text and maybe a few illustrations. But nope! Full-color, fully illustrated little biographies. AND it has real photographs here and there of actual Black cowboys and pioneers. AND it has a six pages at the end about other famous Black westerners. Yup, I really think I'm going to need a copy of my own.
If This was a Movie, I Would Rate It: PG because it does include some violence and a tense moment or two, albeit non-gory and brief.
