Nick Percat says a rough start to life at Brad Jones Racing has not changed his goal of a top-10 finish in the championship.
Crashes at the Clipsal 500, Australian Grand Prix, Tyrepower Tasmania SuperSprint and tyre failures at the WD-40 Phillip Island 500 have hampered the South Australian’s maiden campaign with the team.
Despite high expectations on the Bathurst winner joining the race-winning squad, Percat sits 22nd in the points championship.
Ahead of a trip to the Winton circuit BJR dominated in 2016, the South Australian remains buoyed he can recover his results for the remainder of the season.
“I've been frustrated at times because I've had a thin few years then things that have gone wrong out of the team's control or my control,” he told Supercars.com.
“I probably vent a little bit, which I think is to be semi-expected after a pretty horrendous start to the year.
“Other than that, the team itself has been really good to work with.
“I think I was worse off in 2014 when I probably would have got into the top 10 if it wasn't for red flags at Homebush.
“I think I was dead ringer last for the first four rounds by a comfortable margin. I'm going better than that.
“Between myself and Will (Davison) we're lucky to do 50 percent of the races. It's definitely crazy, but I'm aiming to be back towards that top-10.”
The 28-year-old the approach to the Albury squad has been impressive given the workload between the two-week race turnarounds and heavy repair bills across the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship and Dunlop Super2 Series.
"I'm sure you don’t expect to have a serious manufacturing issue with a brake calliper that basically costs you a car and whole race weekend,” he added.
“I don’t think there would have been any team in pitlane that would have bounced back really well, then roll into the other issues we had.
“I think the way we've gone about it and had cars prepared to a high standard. It's not like there's cars rolling out with a doubt over the chassis.
“The good thing is car #14 with (Tim) Slade has been trucking along really well. It's not like the car is slow.
“You have to have a strong team to get through what we've got through without people wanting to leave or not putting in 110 percent.
“They're all saying the same thing, they want to get good race results, win races and get the cars back to the front where they know they can be.
“It's been impressive no one has dropped their bottom lip and given up on the whole thing.”
Percat added he is still to get the most from his Commodore but has built confidence in the limited running he’s had.
The car #8 driver finished in the top-10 for the second time of the season during the Perth SuperSprint’s Sunday race in what is a confidence building result.
“For me it's encouraging because I'm still new to the car,” he concluded.
“Even if you compare me to Garth (Tander), the amount of laps he's done in his car compared to mine is pretty different.
“For me it was encouraging to leave there and go 'yep, I can still drive a car fast, I haven't forgotten since March'.”

Tunisia president warns on foreigners at union rally
The comments by Saied came a day after the UGTT union federation said a senior official from one of Spain's main unions had been denied entry at Tunis airport.
Marco Perez Molina had planned to attend the union's protest against Saied's "one-man rule".
"The UGTT is free to organise demonstrations... but it is not free to invite foreigners to participate in them," Saied said in a video published on the presidency's official page.
He added that the presence of foreigners at protests "is totally unacceptable" and that Tunisia "is not a domain without a master."
Tunisia's democratic facade: One step closer to autocratic rule 👇 https://t.co/H8CZEGaHu4— The New Arab (@The_NewArab) December 26, 2022
Saied has pushed through sweeping changes to the North African country's political system, concentrating near-total power in his office since he froze parliament and sacked the government in a July 2021 move against the sole democracy to emerge from the Arab Spring uprisings.
On February 18, he ordered the expulsion of Europe's top trade union official, Esther Lynch. She heads the European Trade Union Confederation and had spoken at a UGTT rally in solidarity with Tunisian workers.
On Thursday, Tunisian authorities said they had banned a protest planned for Sunday by the country's main opposition coalition, arguing that senior members are suspected of crimes against the state.

text: Model-based optimization of placement and trajectories of wells in petroleum reservoirs by the means of reservoir simulation forecasts is computationally demanding due to the high number of simulations typically required to achieve a local optimum. In this work, we develop an efficient flow-diagnostics proxy for net-present-value (NPV) with adjoint capabilities for efficient computation of well control gradients and approximate sensitivities with respect to placement/trajectory parameters. The suggested flow-diagnostic proxy consists of numerically solving a single pressure equation for the given scenario and the solution of a few inter-well time-of-flight and steady-state tracer equations, typically achieved in a few seconds for a reservoir model of medium size. Although the proxy may not be a particularly good approximation for the full reservoir simulation response, we find that for the cases considered, the correlation is very good and hence the proxy is suitable for use in an optimization loop. The adjoint simulation for the proxy model which provides control gradients and placement sensitivities is of similar computational complexity as the forward proxy model (a few seconds). We employ a version of the generalized reduced gradient for handling individual well constraints (e.g., bottom-hole-pressures and rates). As a result, the individual well constraints are enforced within the flow-diagnostics computations, and hence every parameter update becomes feasible without sacrificing gradient information. We present two numerical experiments illustrating the efficiency and performance of the approach for well placement problems involving trajectories and simulation models of realistic complexity. The suggested placements are evaluated using full simulations. We conclude by discussing limitations and possible enhancements of the methodology.

Official: Mortada Mansour wins Zamalek elections for presidency
Successful day for the Mansour family as Mortada Mansour and his son Ahmed Mansour win seats at the elections.
Mortada Mansour has won presidency of the Whites and so will stay in his post for at least the coming term [four years], beating Kamal Darwish.
Born on June 17, 1952, Mortada Mansour, a Lawyer by profession, previously held helm of Zamalek presidency in the year 2005 before the board was dissolved in the space of a year since he took on his position.
Before that, Mansour was Zamalek’s vice-president from the year 2001-2005, ironically to his current competitor for presidency, Kamal Darwich.
The period that both worked together is until this day regarded very highly in the club’s history as they managed to win Africa’s prize trophy, the CAF Champions league in 2003. The same year also marked the last time Zamalek won the Egyptian Premier league.
Mansour will succeed Kamal Darwish who was appointed as interim Zamalek president by the recently resigned sports minister and Al Ahly SC legend Taher Abou-Zeid.
Mortada wasted no time after his successful presidential campaign, promising the fans that they will attend Zamalek’s home match against Nkana in the CAF Champions league.
In the race for vice-presidency between Ahmed Galal, Omar Hareidy and Moustafa Kamal Helmy, it was Ahmed Galal that came out victorious and so will accompany Mortada Mansour for the next term.

Associate physician—a new class of registration
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC drafted new Bylaws in 2019 to allow practitioners with some medical training to work under supervision in acute care settings to increase capacity and service delivery. The proposed new class of registration—“associate physician”—is similar to other classes of registration currently in place in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Nova Scotia.
The minister of health asked the College to proceed with posting the proposed Bylaws on March 31, 2020 and agreed to a shortened time frame for consultation. The consultation will close on April 15, 2020.
Note: Only some practitioners will qualify for the restricted “associate physician” class of registration. In order to qualify, they must have:
- a medical degree
- at least two years of postgraduate training in a medical or surgical specialty
- part 1 of the LMCC qualifying exams
Their application for registration must be preceded by a detailed written request from one of the regional health authorities.
- will be employed by a regional health authority
- are not licensed for independent practice
- must work under direct supervision of an attending physician
- can only work in teams (e.g. as a surgical assistant in the OR)
Eligible practitioners can find information on how to apply on the registration and licensing section of the website once the bylaws have been approved.
Note to eligible applicants: Please do not submit a written application or send a letter to the College or a health authority expressing your interest until the process for applying has been published on the College website.

We are not totally throughout the pandemic, but everyone understands that the world before and after will never be the same. We are going to face huge aftermath across the globe, and it largely depends on people, on you and me, what life we will have in the nearest years.
The virus has an alarming global effect; we are facing the new, unfamiliar reality we still cannot fully comprehend. The striking economic catastrophe will deepen existing inequalities between the wealthy and the poor. The physical labor of those who have always worked harder and received less has a chance though to be re-estimated by the society. We should finally adequately see what matters. The pandemic makes people see existing injustices and weaknesses more vividly and pushes us to think about how to live in this world together. It's hardly possible to build a solid society where people do not help those in need!
Covid-19 is going to intensify the problems we have been confronting for years, and they are doomed to become extreme versions of themselves. Economic volatility and crises, poverty, hunger, deceases – we need to take urgent actions to tackle these problems and change our social consciousness, redefine ourselves. What fundamental changes the world is going to face when the virus is defeated
Right now, we can predict five fundamental changes in the world after Covid-19.
The problem of social inequality will be more acute. Poverty and hunger will grow while the disparity in income between different social classes will become even more significant. How can we solve this problem in the world where the income of the eight wealthiest people is equal to the income of the poorest 3.6 billion people? Such issues should be tackled by those who make laws, organizations and ordinary citizens whose modest contribution can save someone's life. Only through global responsibility and concern, we can fight poverty, unemployment, inequality and ecological problems.
Labour owned business models will increase. The rise in unemployment is already terrifying. The lockdown caused by the pandemic will affect the economic situation of 60% of the global population. However, the problem will shift the focus from the interests of financial markets to everyday needs. Governments are going to realize that low wages will not allow workers to survive in the world after the virus. The model where they are treated as avoidable hands will be replaced with making labour shareholder in the business. It will be especially true for developing countries.
The energy sector is going to transform. In India
, for example, over a million people die annually because of deceases caused by air pollution. At the same time, when Delhi's eleven million registered cars were taken off the roads and brought factories and construction ground to a halt, the skies over the capital became blue. Many other world capitals celebrated an unprecedented decline in pollution as well. In this reality, in the post Covid world, clean breathing air may become a fundamental right. Projects that can make industries more environmentally-friendly are going to have more support than before.
Food supply chains are to be reorganized. Now in the first place, they will follow the principles of wellness and wellbeing. The market will step away from the fast to cook, cheaper and mostly unhealthy food and come closer to products from farmers. We are expected to eat healthier, home-cooked, safe and locally produced food of high quality. This process will boost domestic supplies instead of import in developing countries too. The money will circulate within communities and strengthen local economies.
As you may see, through problems and struggle the society will come to changing its consciousness and finding the path to the better world. These processes are already launched and will be accelerating in the nearest years. It's hard to believe though that the global situation may somehow depend on an individual, it's more than real. The world as it is, good or bad, starts from you. Now, when the pandemic is declining, it's high time to think about what you can personally do for this world to make it a better place for future generations. Existence of such projects as Safe Nation that actively helps people in need in developing countries like India, Pakistan
and attracts more unindifferent people from around the world, will play the vital role for the new society after Covid-19.

In the lead-up to the insurrection the country was in a “betting mode”
Tension was already in the air for the Ortega–Murillo government as we entered 2018. All through 2017 the economy had begun to chafe with the drop in Venezuelan aid, then in November came the municipal elections.
The collapsed electoral system lent itself yet again to fraudulent scheming in response to people’s silent rejection of the governing couple. In the Pacific and northwest regions, Nicaragua’s most urban areas, people again expressed their repudiation of the electoral system through massive abstention.
In the countryside, Nicaraguans rejected the government by voting against the FSLN. And in the Caribbean side of Nicaragua, the election sparked violence. The Supreme Electoral Tribunal (CSE) had to change the results in all three Nicaraguas to make them look good.
Government and business
place their bets
Coming up to Christmas, Washington took a clear stand against the Nicaraguan government in the span of just 72 hours. It began by declaring that November’s municipal elections had been “marred” by irregularities and violence against those in the Caribbean and areas of the countryside that had voted against the FSLN (six dead and dozens wounded, injured, mistreated, detained, disappeared or on the run).
The following day, it applied the Global Magnitsky Act against CSE president Roberto Rivas, the first Nicaraguan to be included on this US list of super-corrupt individuals and human rights violators. The day after that, with a bipartisan support rarely seen in the Trump era, a number of Republican and Democratic senators endorsed the Nicaraguan Investment Conditionality (NICA) Act, passed by the House two months earlier, and introduced it into the Senate for its approval. The bill would affect loans to Nicaragua from multilateral financial institutions.
With Washington’s ante on the table, the Nicaraguan government and big business sector—at that time still close allies in the corporatist model—swung into a “betting mode.”
In its eleven years in power, Daniel Ortega’s government had never felt so much tension in its relationship with the US government as was present at the end of 2017. The alliance of Ortega and the Superior Council of Private Enterprise, the umbrella business organization better known as COSEP, had never been so on edge.
Sanctioning PDVSA was a
major shot across the bow
The deepening of Venezuela’s political and economic crisis had also begun to be directly felt in Nicaragua. Less oil was coming and with a less favorable payment deal, and in August 2017 the US had sanctioned Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), the state-owned oil company, for fraud and money laundering. It served as a warning shot across the bow of ALBA de Nicaragua, S.A. (Albanisa) the Venezuelan-Nicaraguan joint venture in which PDVSA has 51% of the stock. That flourishing consortium had been created soon after Ortega took office to manage the distribution of Venezuelan oil inside Nicaragua and invest the profits.
The next month the Trump administration had warned that any Nicaraguan banks with financial ties to Albanisa could also be sanctioned. The shock waves shook the Nicaraguan financial system. All money from Albanisa businesses deposited in three private Nicaraguan banks was quickly transferred into Banco Corporativo (Bancorp), itself an Albanisa entity until the government changed the composition of its board to distance it from the consortium. The money transfer was remarkable: official statistics showed Bancorp’s deposits increasing by 236.5% in 2017, with its coffers swelling by nearly half a million US dollars a day, including holidays, in December 2017 alone.
In addition to the financial problems stemming from the fear of sanctions, exports to Venezuela by large and medium Nicaraguan businesspeople were also being affected. Because it had been agreed that Nicaragua would pay for the oil in part with these exports, the Ortega government had decided that they would all go through ALBA Alimentos (Albalinisa), one of the many businesses run by Albanisa. At the time Albalinisa’s vice president was Francisco López, also vice president of Albanisa itself, a member of Bancorp’s board and the governing party’s treasurer, not to mention holding several top positions in governmental ministries and utilities institutions until July 2018, when he and two others who were part of Ortega’s inner circle also made it onto the Magnitsky sanctions list. Venezuela had become Nicaragua’s second largest exports market, but after the sanctions on its government, exports to that country fell to virtually nothing by early 2018 as no Nicaraguan exporter wanted to risk being linked to the sanctions.
Although Ortega had enjoyed non-conflictual relations with the Obama administration due to his willingness to work with the US Drug Enforcement Administration and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement on issues seen as being of “national security” to Washington and had made Nicaragua safe for US investments, the US Congress and State Depaertment were displeased with Ortega’s absolute control of state institutions (including the military), democratic failings and close relationship with Putin’s Russia. They appeared to be gambling on chipping away at Ortega by fracturing his alliance with the business elite, his main pillar of support affter Venezuela.
When Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and five others introduced the Nica Act into the Senate, the highly-respected Senator Leahy said the law’s intent was “to send a message not just to the Nicaraguan government but also to the Nicaraguan business community. And that message is that corruption and impunity come with a price tag.”
Congress seemed to be taking a firmer stand on achieving non-fraudulent elections than Organization of American States (OAS) Secretary General Luis Almagro, who ws still betting that Ortega would comply with their early-2017 agreement to accept a transformation of the Nicaraguan electoral system so the 2021 presidential elections could be free and fair. For that reason he was still more accommodating of Ortega.
The business sector’s gamble
President Ortega reacted only with silence to the avalanche of signals sent by Washington as 2017 ended. Was it confusion, wariness or a lack of trustworthy, capable counsel?
The business leaders allied with him didn’t know how to respond either, as they feared finding their names on the sanctions list. In early 2018 they continued to lobby against the Nica Act with a positive “narrative” to members of Congress: the government’s alliance with private enterprise was ongoing and yielded both stability and economic growth. Destabilizing Nicaragua with sanctions would only harm those achievements and spur greater emigration. Although they portrayed a calm demeanor, the business elite were skittish.
They entered 2018 hoping to be key negotiators in the discussion on reforming the electoral system, a first step toward changing the already fragile national situation. They gambled on assuring this central role in both Washington and Managua.
Ortega seemed to be betting on Nicaragua’s insignificance, calculating that political and economic sanctions from the US would be slow to arrive and wouldn’t have a significant impact on the investment climate. He trusted that the advantages of investing in Nicaragua, based on low labor and land costs, and the comparatively greater security that contrasted with the violence found in the rest of Central America would more than compensate for the political disaffection with his model. As late as March 2018, while some US government officials constantly railed about the region’s “dictatorships,” they were still specifically mentioning only Cuba and Venezuela.
Even if his gamble had been premised on a correct analysis of the new Trump administration, the discontinuation of Venezuelan aid and the spending cuts the government was obliged to enact presaged a difficult 2018 in his attempt to achieve his goal of staying in power in 2021... and “ever beyond,” to quote one of his slogans. The most urgent financial adjustment was to put the brakes on the Social Security Institute’s anticipated bankruptcy. An increase in unemployment was on the horizon, along with a drop in income fot the sprawling informal sector in which 8 of every 10 Nicaraguans have survived the Ortega decade. Ortega figured any popular unrest could be mitigated with a few social programs. His government had taken out a number of new loans from the international financing institutions as insurance against passage of the Nica Act.
This was the “betting mode” in which the two main power brokers—the regime and the big business sector—came to April. They both counted on the population continuing to bear the weight and conform to the reality of the last decade...

This tutorial will be introducing the Color Sensor for Color Blindness (targeting red-green blindness). The main function of the project is TCS3200 Arduino Color Sensor; however, we advanced it into a new level that could help color blindness in their daily life. Because they are not able to recognize red and green, so this project is designed to determine the color by sensing the color for them, presenting it on the LCD monitor, and playing a short but identical rhythm for them to identify the color.
To make the process more interesting, this tutorial will also be showing you how I make the self-decorated box that may give you some idea for decoration!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Step 1: PREPARATION FOR OUTPUTInstallation for Arduino Color Sensor, speaker and LCD Screen monitor. I combined these three items to help people with red-green color blindness to identify colors they can’t recognize. Moreover, to make the project more interesting, I include sound effect and screen.
THINGS YOU NEED:
Arduino LCD screen x1
Arduino color sensor TSC3200 x1
Arduino Speaker x1
Wires - Male connector x16 / Female connector x25
Resistance (for LCD Screen) w/ 4 color (red+red+purple+purple)
Color Paper (Green and Red)
Step 2: INSTALLATIONPrepare all the items you need and follow the image down below to connect all of them.
Follow the image provided above to connect all the outputs to function!
** There may be a tiny difference between the model's outputs with yours, therefore, the connection may vary. Make sure to check before start connection.
Step 3: PREPARATION FOR DECORATION (Optional)THINGS YOU NEED:
1. Find a shoe box (SOFTER shoe boxes are more favorable because they are easier to cut and draw on)
2. Prepare a cutter knife/box cutter
3. Prepare any kinds of decorations you would want to put on the box, for example, the tutorial demonstrates the use of watercolor.
Therefore if you wish to follow the tutorial, prepare watercolor pigments and painting brushes.
Step 4: HOW TO DECORATE?This is an OPTIONAL step that you can choose to either follow or skip, but decorating your hardware would make this project more personal and special. The video below is a tutorial video to demonstrate how I design and decorate with my box.
You can also choose to follow the steps below:
1. Cut the upper layer of the box by measuring the exact size to fit LCD Screen monitor, Speaker, and Color Sensor; in other words, these three items will be showing and identifiable to the users after finishing, therefore do not hide them inside the box
2. Start decorating! In case you are following the tutorial, points below provide you with some tips for painting watercolor on the box.
Step 5: TIPS FOR THE DECORATION1. Don’t use too much water (the box would turn mushy); Don’t use too much pigment (the box would be too heavy and thus easily break).
2. For time management, prepare dryer to dry your paint faster.
3. Have an idea before start painting.
4. Have fun!
5. Combine your Arduino with the box. Be careful to no damage either one when combining. Make any modification if needed.
Step 6: CODE
1. Download Arduino Leonardo (or UNO)
2. Set up a frequency-scaling (varies in a different environment, must check before transferring the code to your output).
After defining all the pins to which the sensor is connected, define a variable for reading the frequency for both green and red.
Run the Serial Monitor, you will start getting some values which represent each color under your environment. (view the 2nd photo) (p.s. the variable for green will be larger than red)
Record down the code for later coding. (view 3rd and 4th photo to make modify at the highlighted part). For example, the variables for red and green is 50 and 110, therefore the when the variable shows below 50, then it will reflect as RED on the monitor; when the color sensor sense 110, then it will recognize as GREEN and show it on the monitor.
3. Copy the code and modify it by entering the early recorded values for both colors red and green. Code Link-
4. Send the code to your output Test to see if your project works or not.
5. If you have any question, feel free to comment down below.
Step 7: DONE!
Check out the video to see if your project has a similar function!

By KHRISNA RUSSELL
Tribune Chief Reporter
HOUSE Speaker Patricia Deveaux sharply rebuked National Emergency Management Agency director Captain Stephen Russell yesterday, telling him “you need a 9 to 5 job” and suggesting he did not have the same vision as the government to advance the country.
At one point, the Speaker who is also Bamboo Town MP, intimated that Captain Russell was busy at home “watching the game” when she appealed for help.
The Speaker’s lashing of the NEMA official was sparked by her displeasure with Captain Russell’s response to her calls for assistance with damage in her constituency after a tornado touched down in the area on Wednesday.
While she admitted various agencies responded to her calls for help, she singled out NEMA and its director as being absent, adding that when she did speak to Mr Russell he directed her to the Ministry of Works.
Unhappy with the response, Speaker Deveaux said she warned Captain Russell that she would speak on the ordeal from her chair at the next sitting of Parliament.
Contacted yesterday, Captain Russell said he would not comment and directed The Tribune to a statement released by NEMA outlining the sequence of events. The statement sought to prove that throughout the day and for a number of hours, Captain Russell personally remained on the scene was busy working in the aftermath of the tornado.
Myles Laroda, minister with responsibility for NEMA, told the House of Assembly that Captain Russell told him that he was not aware of issues at Bamboo Town. However he summed the issue up as a “complete breakdown” of communication.
Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper said the matter would receive attention at the highest levels.
Speaker Deveaux said: “… What I did not see on the ground was NEMA and I am saying this because I reached out to Commander Russell... I don’t know if he was home busy watching the game ‘cause I hear they had a game last night, but I could say that he was not there and that is who we have to reach out for emergency response.
“I am terribly, terribly disturbed by that and I say to him, I told him, I did not lie to him, I told him that I would speak to it from my chair. This is where I have my voice.”
“I had senior citizens at the age of 80 who had live wires, electrical wire hanging and also no roof and no electricity last night. They had to go to bed with such damage to their house and what I can say is we had the team on the ground, but NEMA was not present,” she continued.
“Natural disasters do not happen between nine and five. Natural disasters can happen at any time, in the dead of the night and so I say this to say these people if they want a desk job from 9 to 5 give them their desk job cause I had a natural disaster last night and the minister and all of these other persons were on the ground until 9pm last night trying to help me bring some resolve and this morning the Ministry of Social services is sending breakfast out. Thank you, minister, to those persons making sure that they’re having hot meals and we are trying to find some roof to put over their heads as we speak.
“… I reached out to the honourable member for Pinewood (Myles Laroda) and he was very, very helpful with me yesterday, but sometimes we have persons who are on assignment under our umbrellas that do not have the same vision that we have in place to take this country forward. So, I am very disturbed about that and they’ll understand me.
“When it comes to Bamboo Town I don’t second guess and the way those persons had to sleep last night was unbecoming. So, you tell Mr Russell for me if he is listening, let me tell me you ‘you need a 9 to 5 job because I call 7, 8 o’clock in the night you telling me Ministry of Works? The Ministry of Works was already on the ground. They were already on the ground so the only persons that were not present was NEMA. So, I don’t know. They talked about Jesus yesterday fixing it, fix it Jesus.”
For his part, Mr Laroda said he conveyed the Speaker’s displeasure to Captain Russell.
“I feel your pain,” the Pinewood MP said following the Speaker’s criticism. “I would have spoken to yourself. I would have spoken to your aid. I would have spoken to the member for Golden Gates with respect to the tornadic activity that happened yesterday (Wednesday).
“I had two conversations with the director of NEMA. I conveyed your disappointment. I’m not going to sugar coat it. I let it be known that there were other agencies that turned up, in particular, the Ministry of Works and also the team from social services.
“I was advised and I am just giving the public the record of what happened by Commander Russell that the tornadic activity was in the Cowpen Road area and that’s where NEMA had focused (and) that he was not aware that Bamboo Town had any concerns, that was the message he conveyed to me.”
The Speaker responded, “Oh really?”
“I would have said to him,” Mr Laroda continued, “that in speaking to other members that there were at least three communities that were affected.
“After conveying that message I would have spoken to the permanent secretary to convene a meeting sometime today with Commander Russell and the team from NEMA and there will be no stones left unturned with regards to the response.
“I conveyed your message word for word what you had experienced (and) that in particular that it affected two 80-year-old individuals and without going into detail my exact words, if what you are saying was correct and I have no reason not to believe you, that there was a complete breakdown in terms of communication and response.”

After having made a couple of really bright coloured layouts, I wanted to use some pink again. The first layout is for this week's Glitz Design Theme which is a colour combo:light pink, light blue, white and gold. I LOVE the softness of the layout and really think it works well with the photo of my little Elouan (well he's not so little any more), riding on his bike (no stabilisers/training wheels). He just loves to ride on the side walk and he can cycle like no other. It reminds me of when I was a kid. I used to have a BMX and loved riding on it. My father reminded me that I always said "I love to ride my bike on the road" (with a really strong South African accent). It is funny how memories I capture of my children, remind me of moments from my past.
The second layout I created really quickly. I was inspired by the floral pattern of one of the patterned papers in the Office Hours kit from Studio Calico. I love the colours in the layout and think it is my new favourite.


A stepped motor which could convert an electric pulse signal into an angular displacement or linear displacement and its driver circuit diagram.
A stepping motor is an open-loop control element stepping motor that converts an electrical pulse signal into an angular displacement or a linear displacement. In the case of non-overload, the speed and stop position of the motor only depend on the frequency of the pulse signal and the number of pulses, and are not affected by the load changes. When the stepper driver receives a pulse signal, it drives the stepper motor to rotate a fixed angle in the set direction, called “step angle”, and its rotation is performed step by step at a fixed angle.
It is one of the most commonly used control electronic components in industrial control and instrumentation. It has the characteristics that the input pulse is proportional to the motor shaft. It is widely used in intelligent robots, floppy disk drives and data machine tools. The most suitable system for microcomputer-controlled stepper motors is the 20BY-0 stepper motor. It uses a +5V DC power supply with a step angle of 18 degrees and the motor coil consists of four phases.
Stepper motors are brushless DC electric motors that move in discrete angular steps in response to digital pulse signals. They are precisely controllable and can be used in open loop position control systems without the need for feedback sensors.
Stepper motors are used extensively in industrial automation, robotics, 3D printers, CNC machines, and many other applications requiring precise positioning and speed control. They provide excellent low speed torque and response to digital inputs.
This comprehensive guide covers the operating principle of stepper motors, drive methods, common types and configurations, typical applications, and drive circuit schematic implementations.
How Stepper Motors Work
Stepper motors consist of a rotor containing permanent magnets and a stator containing electromagnets (windings). Applying current pulses to the windings generates magnetic fields which interact with the rotor magnets, causing rotational movement one step at a time.
Stepper Motor Rotation (Image Credit: Bakon/Wikimedia)
Some key operating characteristics of stepper motors:
- Motion occurs in discrete steps measured in degrees (Most common is 1.8°/step or 0.9°/step)
- Accurate positioning and repeatability – errors less than 5% of per step angle
- Open loop control – No feedback sensors required
- Driven by digital pulse trains from controllers
- Torque optimized for low speed high precision applications
- High holding torque when not moving resists external forces
- Can be miniaturized down to tiny step angles enabling precision micro-positioning
Understanding the stepping sequence and drive methods allows proper control of stepper motors.
Stepper motors are commutated by energizing the phase windings in a sequential pattern to rotate the shaft. Two primary drive methods are used:
Wave Drive (1 Phase ON)
Only one winding is energized at any time. Rotor magnet aligns with magnetic field produced by active winding before next step occurs.
Provides greater torque at lower speeds. Resonances can occur at higher speeds.
Wave Drive Sequence (Image Credit: Festo Didactic)
Full Step Drive (2 Phase ON)
Two windings are energized simultaneously to produce stronger torque. Minimizes resonances.
Cannot achieve very low speeds. Provides higher torque across operating range.
Full Step Drive Sequence (Image Credit: Festo Didactic)
Proper selection of drive mode depends on required speed and torque. Controllers allow selecting different drive modes.
Stepper Motor Types
Stepper motors are classified based on their internal construction:
Contain salient pole stator with concentrated windings. Multi-toothed rotor provides varying magnetic reluctance as it rotates. Simple and inexpensive construction.
Have magnetized rotor with defined poles. Stator has distributed windings. Provides good torque and low resonance issues. Most common type.
Combine permanent magnet rotor with salient pole stator. Provides high torque, low resonance, good speed range. Most advanced and powerful type.
The number of stator teeth determine the step angle. More teeth provide finer resolution but require more switching.
Stepper Motor Configurations
Beyond the internal construction, stepper motors are also classified by their physical size, shaft type, and operating voltages:
Size and Frame
- Very small steppers < 28 mm used in precision instruments. 0.9° step angle.
- Small steppers between NEMA 8 – 17 sizes used in automation. 1.8° step angle.
- Large NEMA 23-34 frame steppers used in high torque applications. 1.8° step angle.
- Pancake or slim profile steppers optimized for tight spaces.
- Standard round shaft – most common
- D-shaped shafts prevent slipping of couplings
- Geared – have integrated gearheads to increase torque
- Hollow shaft – for applications like driving lead screws
- Low voltage steppers – 12 or 24V types common. Higher currents.
- Medium voltage – 36 or 48V rated. Used in automation.
- High voltage – for precision or high power steppers. Up to 300V.
Combine winding configuration, drive mode, frame size, shaft and voltage rating to select optimal stepper.
Stepper Motor Performance Specs
Key specifications to evaluate stepper motor performance:
- Steps per Revolution – Typically range from 24 to 400 steps/revolution. More steps enables greater positioning precision.
- Step Angle – Angle moved per step. Common values are 0.9°, 1.8°, 7.5° and 15°. Smaller step angle provides higher resolution.
- Torque – Rated holding and pull-out torque values. Higher torque allows faster accelerations under load.
- Voltage – Rated voltage and input current determines power input needs.
- Inductance – Higher is better for drivability at higher speeds but reduces torque. Values from 1mH to 50mH typical.
- Resistance – Lower resistance enables higher torque output. Range is typically 1-5Ω per phase.
- Inertia – Lower rotor inertia allows faster acceleration and response.
- Accuracy – Deviation from intended step angle measured in arcminutes. Sub-arcminute accuracy is achievable.
Review rated specifications against the application’s resolution, torque, speed, and accuracy requirements when selecting an optimal stepper motor.
Stepper Motor Drives
Stepper motors require properly designed drive circuits to energize their phases in coordination with input step and direction signals. Here are the key functions stepper motor drivers perform:
Increase current and voltage levels of control signals to adequately drive motor windings. Typically chopper or linear drives used.
Stepping Sequence Generation
Translate step and direction inputs into a sequence for energizing the phase windings. Microstepping capability is desirable.
Vary winding currents to optimize torque output. Lower current at high speeds to overcome inductive impedance.
Detect error conditions like missed steps or overtemperature and respond appropriately to prevent damage.
Provide connections to external encoders or sensors when closed loop operation is needed.
Step and direction signal inputs dictate motor motion. Additional control inputs like enables may be included.
Properly designed drives ensure smooth and reliable stepper motor operation and protect against malfunctions.
Basic Unipolar Driver
Here is a basic unipolar driver for a variable reluctance stepper:
- ULN2003 Darlington transistor array provides 500mA current rating per channel. 8 channels total.
- Diodes protect against back EMF when winding currents are switched.
- Resistors limit current through windings. Can alter values to change maximum current levels.
- Inputs must be energized in proper sequence to step motor.
- Only one winding active at any time. Limited torque capability.
Low component count makes this a simple and inexpensive drive choice but performance is limited.
Basic Bipolar Driver
A basic bipolar driver energizes two windings simultaneously:
- Dual H-Bridge (L298N) allows 4 quadrant operation of windings.
- Allows current in both directions through windings enabling bipolar drive.
- Higher performance but increased component count over unipolar design.
- Provides up to 2A per winding. Higher than unipolar drives.
- Fast switching time < 100ns.
Bipolar drive with H-bridges provides good performance for small to mid-sized steppers.
Microstepping divides steps into smaller increments. Typical microstep resolutions are 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64 step:
- Sinusoidal microstepping currents smooth motor operation and provide position interpolation.
- Microstep table maps control input state to sine wave DAC value.
- On-chip DAC and PWM generate sinusoidal current profiles in windings.
- Chopper circuits allow microstepping and current control capability.
- External potentiometer sets maximum current level.
Microstepping allows very fine resolution motion and smoothing with stepper motors.
Integrated Stepper Controller
Integrated stepper controllers contain drive electronics, sequencing logic, and microcontroller:
- Microcontroller generates control signals and sequences drive waveform based on incoming step and direction inputs.
- Integrated motor drivers with current control. May include thermal shutdown.
- Onboard supply generates motor voltages from main DC input.
- Status indicators and I/O allow monitoring and interfacing.
- Parameters and drive modes configurable through communication interfaces.
All-in-one integrated controllers simplify implementation with advanced features and protection.
Stepper Motor Applications
Stepper motors provide many advantages for precise positioning in automation, robotics, instruments, and other applications:
- CNC Machines – For precisely controlling cutting tools and workpiece position.
- 3D Printers – High precision positioning of print heads over multiple axes.
- Scanners & Plotters – Provide linear motion and positioning for optics.
- Robots – Allow precise joint control and position feedbackless operation.
- Pick-and-Place – X-Y positioning for PCB assembly and packaging machines.
- Laser Cutters – For accurate motion and focusing of optics.
- Textiles – Provide incremental stitching motion in sewing machines.
- Displays – Used in meter movements, gauge mechanisms, advertising displays.
- Valves – Precise control over fluid flow without complex feedback.
Stepper’s excellent response to digital inputs makes them ideal for computer controlled automation tasks requiring high precision.
- Stepper motors provide precise digital control of rotational position without feedback sensors.
- Operation based on magnetic field interactions between stator windings and rotor magnets.
- Driven by pulse train inputs that sequence the winding energization to step the motor.
- Major types include variable reluctance, permanent magnet, and hybrid steppers.
- Driver circuits amplify signals and provide sequencing and protection. Microstepping enables fine increments.
- Widely used in automation, robotics, CNC machines, 3D printers and other applications requiring high precision motion under digital control.
What are the typical step angles for stepper motors?
Common step angles include 0.9°, 1.8°, 7.5°, 15°, and 30°. Smaller step angles allow higher precision but require more switching. 0.9° and 1.8° are most common for fine control.
What is the difference between unipolar and bipolar stepper motors?
Unipolar steppers only have current flowing in one direction through their coils, while bipolar motors reverse current direction providing higher torque. Bipolar motors require full H-bridge drivers.
Can stepper motors be used in closed loop systems?
Yes, stepper motors can incorporate rotary encoders or resolvers to provide position feedback. The controllers can use PID control in a servo loop to achieve even better precision and compensation.
Why are stepper motors operated at lower speeds?
The construction of stepper motors makes them best suited for operation below 1000 RPM. At higher speeds, resonances, switching delays, and inductance effects impair torque and control.
What causes lost steps in a stepper motor?
Exceeding torque limits, accelerating too quickly, too high a speed, or electrical noise can all cause missed steps and loss of synchronism. Proper drive design and torque margins prevent lost steps in most cases.

purpose. To investigate the effect of nicergoline on corneal epithelial wound healing in rats.
methods. One hundred Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into two groups, the control group and the nicergoline-treated group, for 2 weeks. Corneal wound healing was evaluated by fluorescein staining after epithelial debridement. Nerve growth factor (NGF) protein and NGF mRNA were measured in rat corneas by ELISA and RT-PCR. NGF concentration of lacrimal gland was also evaluated by means of ELISA. Immunofluorescent staining was performed in rat corneas.
results. The corneal wound healing rate was increased in nicergoline-treated rats compared with control rats after debridement. Twenty-four hours after epithelial debridement, corneal NGF protein and NGF mRNA levels were higher in the nicergoline-treated group than in the control group. Immunofluorescent staining showed that NGF staining was stronger in nicergoline-treated corneas than in control corneas 24 hours after epithelial debridement. In addition, NGF concentrations in lacrimal glands of the nicergoline-treated group were significantly higher than in the control group 24 hours after epithelial debridement.
conclusions. Nicergoline accelerated wound healing in rat corneas. The promoting effect of nicergoline in corneal wound healing is likely to be related to increased NGF in corneas and lacrimal glands.

Researchers have made a significant discovery that could quickly open up new ways of fighting the devastating disease juvenile Batten disease.
Children with juvenile Batten disease seem healthy and develop typically in their early years before experiencing increasingly distressing symptoms which progress over time, including sight loss, behavioural issues, tremors and epilepsy. There is currently no cure and children become severely disabled before losing their lives at a young age.
The faulty gene that causes the disease was discovered 20 years ago. It gives the body’s cells instructions on how to make a protein called CLN3 – but nobody knew what this protein did.
With Action funding awarded in 2015, Dr Emyr Lloyd-Evans and his team at Cardiff University aimed to unravel this mystery. Their findings are, says Dr Lloyd-Evans, ‘truly remarkable’.
This work revealed, for the first time ever, what CLN3 does – it acts as a transporter for potassium within the body’s cells. Having this knowledge allowed the team to explore whether certain existing drugs might reduce or even reverse the effects of this protein malfunctioning. They identified two potential new treatment strategies.
This initial work has now progressed further, resulting in clinical trials of the first ever drug treatment for juvenile Batten disease – with results from the Action-funded work providing vital evidence to support the planning and approval of these trials. The first of these, in young people aged 17 or over, is already underway in the US and showing very promising results. A further trial, testing the treatment in a larger group of patients, is due to start during 2023.
Toby, Corey and Izzy's story
Discovering that three of their children have the devastating, rare condition juvenile Batten disease has, says mum Dee, left the family feeling numb. Twins Toby and Corey, 12, and Izzy, who’s seven, are all affected. Their sister Amber, 11, does not have the disease, but may be a carrier.

cool to see a newly found one... how is it that it went undiscovered for so long??
I'm sorry I couldn't answer you earlier, working too many hours lately.
Is not entirely right to say the Nazca Lines can't be observed unless you fly over, but certainly is the best way. The Panamerican Highway crosses the
area right in the middle. I was in peru when I was young (long, long time ago), and used to travel around that amazing country a lot, mostly
hitchhiking with just my backpack. So as you can imagine, a plane wasn't affordable.
There is a big tower in Nazca I used to climb, from there you can see some of the lines very well. I don't remember paying for that. Also, there is a
hill in the area that people used to climb to have a good view, I don't know if that is allowed today, but in those years it was easy to get as close
as you wanted to the lines.
Here is a link about the tower I just told you.
Also, try this 360 view right from the top of the tower, there you'll see the hills I mentioned.
