“Alan” is an 11-year-old boy who was first seen in our clinic 3 years ago. His parents’ chief complaint at admission was Alan’s physically aggressive behavior at home, in particular toward his mother, as well as fights with children and teachers at school.
Alan reportedly met his early developmental motor and cognitive milestones, but he showed difficulties with temper control and frustration tolerance as a toddler, having “significant fits” and biting other children. In preschool, Alan’s behavior was generally without significant aggression except when his mother was there to volunteer. In kindergarten, his parents reported, his behavior was managed with the help of a teacher who was very consistent with discipline and structure, but the following year, his first-grade teacher provided much less structure, and Alan started getting into fights again with other children. His behavior also worsened at home; for instance, he would fight a neighbor boy and “the kids would scratch each other bloody.” The parents started family counseling at that time, which did not reduce the problem behaviors.
In second grade, at the end of the first trimester, Alan reportedly “lost it.” After a family session, he “cleared the entire desk of the therapist” and “threatened to hurt the therapist.” At home, he would take knives from kitchen drawers and threaten family members. He would “shut down” and not talk about his feelings or thoughts. He was referred by the outpatient psychotherapist to the emergency department and was subsequently treated in a day hospital program, which did reduce his outbursts. He was not put on medication. Discharge diagnoses were mood disorder not otherwise specified, rule out depressive disorder, and rule out anxiety disorder.
After discharge, Alan was referred to our clinic. He continued to struggle with aggressive outbursts. When he was told to do minor chores or homework, he “would never do it.” Sometimes he would be “good” in the morning, but his mood was usually irritable, and little things would set off explosive outbursts, with yelling, throwing things, and punching people around him, resulting in bruises; his parents had some concern about the safety of Alan’s sibling, as well as their own safety. He had such outbursts approximately four times per week, each lasting 30 to 45 minutes. His parents also reported an apparent “female authority problem”; Alan responded much better to male authority figures than to women.
During a review of Alan’s developmental history, his parents reported that their son had poor eye contact since early age and that he would “suppress” emotions and had a flat affect. They also noted that Alan did well approaching adults but did not attach emotionally to other children and struggled with making same-age friends. His own perception, however, was that he had many friends. Alan was always very much interested in science and was an expert in dinosaurs and rocks. “While other kids look at things in museums and move on,” he would read all the information he could get. Alan excelled in memorizing other people’s names and faces and after years would recognize someone he had seen only once. He was also noted to struggle with change in routines and to fidget with his hands. There was no history of abuse, contact with drugs or alcohol, mania, anxiety, or major medical illness. The family environment was reported as stable. Alan has one sibling, and no psychiatric family history was reported. Alan had never been hospitalized; he had been seen by three outpatient family therapists in the past, and, as noted, he had been in day hospital treatment.
Alan himself reported that at times he did “not feel good,” but he denied depression or anxiety. He acknowledged having fights with other children but did not elaborate on circumstances. He reported hearing “animal voices” from under his bed or from the closet, but he could not really make them out. He felt there were ghosts and monsters in his room, and he was afraid of somebody pulling him down under his bed. When he looked, he reported seeing a lot of “stuff under his bed,” but denied seeing monsters. On further questioning, Alan said he thought those voices could be from the wind or his parents, but he was not certain about the absence of monsters. He had these experiences mostly in the darkness, at night. He denied paranoia or ideas of reference.
Alan was assigned to a regular classroom in the third grade. He performed very well academically, and the school provided accommodation for him to seek out a quiet room when he got upset.
On examination, Alan was dressed appropriately for his age, showed moderate eye contact, and had a significantly restricted affect with little reactivity. His speech was characterized by a monotonous tone but normal volume and rate. Overall, his thought process was linear and goal directed. He reported his mood as “okay” and denied low or elevated mood but acknowledged irritability throughout the day. He denied current suicidal or homicidal ideation but described the potential hallucinatory experiences mentioned above. He appeared somewhat hyperactive, fidgeting in his chair. His cognition was grossly intact, oriented to time, place, and person. His insight and judgment were rated as fair in this interview, with deterioration during violent outbursts. The Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale indicated subthreshold hyperactivity and no attention difficulties.
At the time of the visit, Alan was diagnosed with Asperger’s disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, rule out psychotic disorder, and rule out high-functioning autism. After normal results were obtained on screening laboratory tests, including glucose level and a lipid panel, risperidone, 0.25 mg at bedtime, was prescribed to target baseline irritability and violent outbursts.
On follow-up, Alan’s parents reported improvement but still significant mood instability. The risperidone dosage was increased to 0.5 mg at bedtime. About 2 weeks later, the parents reported that Alan’s tantrums were down to 10–15 minutes and that Alan was able to “catch himself better,” was less physical with and doing better interpersonally with peers, and was smiling more, and that he reported feeling happier. At school, adjustments were made to provide emotional support and structure for Alan when needed, including a focus on social skills development.
Alan returned to clinic regularly and progressed well over the next 8 months, but he did not return for another 7 months, well into the fourth grade. After a good second half of third grade, Alan reportedly had trouble readjusting to the next school year, a typical high-stress situation for him. After several altercations at school, he was moved to a school that specialized in behavioral problems.
His parents had continued Alan’s medication through third grade, but with some hesitancy. Reportedly, the medication was skipped at times during the summer, but the parents did not provide any detailed information as to how often. They reported that Alan’s aggressive behaviors had returned gradually. Since the last visit, Alan had grown significantly, and his parents hoped that he would “grow out” of needing medication.
During the visit, Alan presented as emotionally very labile, and at one point he ran out of the room and had to be brought back by his parents. Alan reported feeling stress at home; he initially did not want to describe it, but eventually he endorsed seeing a frightening tall man-animal figure at home. He was not open to discussing this experience further. He expressed some death wish but denied suicidal plans or acts.
Over the following 2 months, his risperidone dosage was adjusted to 0.5 mg twice daily, which he tolerated well, and his behavior greatly improved. The school provided specific treatment for pervasive developmental disorder, including a highly structured environment as well as social skills training to ensure that Alan would understand cues and instructions.
During the next 6 months, Alan was “Student of the Month” several times, and he transitioned well into a new school year. His parents requested that his medication be reduced. In the treatment sessions, he made an effort to show good eye contact, and he expressed how therapists or other children make him feel. He denied any psychotic experiences, but his affect continued to be restricted.
After repeated requests from the parents, Alan’s risperidone dosage was decreased to 0.5 mg at bedtime. Over the following 8 weeks, which coincided with the transition back to the regular school environment, Alan started to deteriorate again, becoming physical with other students, and he was referred to the emergency department. His risperidone dosage was brought back to 0.5 mg b.i.d., and he stabilized within 2 weeks, having less irritability and no significant behavior problems.
Asperger’s disorder, a pervasive developmental or autism spectrum disorder, is characterized by 1) impairments in nonverbal communication, ability to develop normal peer relationships, and ability to enjoy and share experiences with others; and 2) restricted or stereotyped behaviors or activities such as preoccupation with special interests, being inflexible about change of routines, and stereotypic motor behaviors. Anger and irritability are common in Asperger’s disorder (1); in one large study, up to 44% had a behavior disorder, 42% an anxiety disorder, 26% a tic disorder, and 6% a mood disorder (2). Individuals with Asperger’s disorder struggle to identify social cues (3), leaving them in a state of “not understanding” the world around them (4).
The average age at which Asperger’s disorder is identified is around 11 years (5), and Alan’s diagnosis was therefore relatively early. Still, he had been seen by three therapists and had been treated in a day treatment program without having been diagnosed with the disorder, although the presentation was consistent with diagnostic criteria (6).
The primary approach to behavior problems in children with Asperger’s disorder is to teach them to control emotions, teach them problem-solving skills, and teach the parents to manage those behaviors (7). The Asperger’s diagnosis made an important difference in Alan’s treatment, since the frequently occurring irritability can be targeted with medication to enable behavioral gains. Parents rightfully question the need for medication for their children, and providers also may avoid pharmacologic treatment because of the risk of side effects. However, careful use of medication (“start low and go slow”) can make a remarkable difference, and treatment with an atypical antipsychotic such as risperidone in combination with parent training and specialized patient interventions has been shown to be superior to medication alone (8). Providers should discuss with the patient and parents a time frame for trying to discontinue medication, and having this discussion early on is usually very much appreciated by the family (9).
Accepting the diagnosis of a pervasive developmental disorder is difficult for parents, and it may be associated with both perceived positives and negatives (10). For Alan’s parents, the Asperger’s diagnosis “all of a sudden made sense” of their son’s problems, they said. Nevertheless, hearing the diagnosis was difficult, and accepting it took some time; additionally, it took courage for them to accept that certain problems cannot be handled within the family alone and that the family had to adjust their expectations for their child. Stigma around mental health and mental illness is still widespread (11), and assessments and support through the school psychologist are important in reducing barriers to care (12).
Complicating this case were Alan’s intermittent psychotic symptoms. The potential for violent behaviors in pervasive developmental disorders, including Asperger’s disorder, is greater in the context of co-occurring psychosis (13). Hallucinations are not pathognomonic for schizophrenia in children, though (14), and the differentiation of a primary psychotic disorder and a pervasive developmental disorder is not always straightforward. Notably, the presence of psychotic symptoms seems highly related to anxiety in children (15). In Alan’s case, it seemed that the psychotic symptoms were stress induced. Alan did not report any psychotic symptoms for several months during a low-stress period when he participated on a football team and felt more socially competent. However, with increased stress during the last school transition, his symptoms reemerged and he needed an increase in his medication dosage once again. This case indicates the important interaction between illness and environment, and time will tell whether anxiety or psychosis will emerge as primary exacerbating factors in Alan’s pervasive developmental disorder (16).
Violence in the context of Asperger’s disorder poses significant challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Here we presented the case of a child who was identified relatively early and made great improvements with the help of specialized school interventions, psychotherapy, and medication. However, environmental stress repeatedly triggered the reoccurrence of symptoms, limiting reductions in his medication dosage.

Couldn't decide whether to give this place 3 or 4 stars but I went for four.
The restaurant itself is lovely.
I felt the food and service were both good however nothing to shout about.
I didn't think the margaritas were that great ....maybe I was expecting too much based on previous reviews.
I did think the restaurant was overpriced for both food and drink in comparison to other restaurants in the area.

I was approached by my sister-in-law to sing at her wedding. I hadn't sung in front of people for over 10 years at that point and my vocal chords were clearly out of practice. I started lessons with Natali and from the beginning she pushed me, challenged me and helped me. The end result was I was confident presenting my song. My sister-in-law LOVED my performance, and she received great reviews from her guests. Natali also helped me remember just how much I enjoy singing, and that I do know what I am doing (most of the time). She pays attention to all the finer points. Not just vocal coaching but also presentation. I HIGHLY recommend her as a vocal coach!Aug 29, 2019
I drive an hour to and from each lesson after a long hard monday working in the heat doing Hvac work to take my 9 year old daughter Sydney ...Without a doubt this kid kid truly lives for her lesson day and the joy on her face when she walks out the door after an hour with Natalie makes it all worthwhile. She loves to sing but i will say when she first started i didnt think she would put in the practice it takes to get better. She gets better and better after each lesson mainly because the way Natalie knows how to teach and keep Sydney interested and motivated!Aug 9, 2019
I walked into my first O-Kaye Productions music lesson and was so hopeful to find a different experience than I’d encountered in the past with vocal training. I didn’t want to sing Latin songs or spend every lesson on exercises. I wanted someone to help me find my style, push my range, teach me dynamics and help me find more confidence in performance. And now, after several years of being an O-Kaye student, I not only have drastically changed as a singer but as a person. I’ve been pushed and loved on and supported in my music dreams. I would say yes and yes and yes to anyone who is looking at starting music lessons with O-Kaye!!! Every penny spent is so very worth every lesson and skill learned. O-Kaye productions is truly the different experience I was hoping for in vocal training and I only wish I had known about it sooner.Jul 30, 2018
My daughter started voice lessons with Natalie 6 years ago! She is not only her coach but also her mentor and friend. Hannah has improved so much over these 6 years in so many ways. Natalie is such a great voice coach and truly cares about the job and the People she is coaching. I highly recommend Okay Productions!Aug 14, 2019
Natalie has been a fantastic voice coach for my daughter. She has taught her so much and has really built her confidence as a performer. My daughter has had tremendous improvement since we started voice lessons. Natalie has been so much more than a voice coach to her. We love her like family! I would highly recommend O-Kaye Productions.Aug 8, 2019

Chicago has so many things to offer, yet there are still things you have to travel to New York City for that we don’t have. Until a year ago, Mario Batali’s Eataly was one of those things. I was so excited when it was announced that Eataly was coming to Chicago and on my first visit I was like a kid in a candy store roaming around this foodie playground.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the concept of Eataly, it is basically a huge Italian grocery store with 23 different restaurants throughout. Not only can you buy produce and pantry items like sauces and olive oil, you can also get handmade fresh pastas, bread, cheese, seafood, meat, and the list goes on. There is an espresso bar, a nutella bar, gelato…you get the picture. It is basically every Italian food lover’s (like me) dream! Eataly is located on several different levels so it truly is a one of a kind shopping/dining experience. You can see for yourself through this picture tour:
One of the restaurants we stopped at for lunch is one of their more popular eateries, La Pizza & La Pasta. Their pizza is cooked in an authentic Neapolitan oven which reaches about 900 degrees, cooking the pizza in only 90 seconds!
Neapolitan style pizza is my absolute favorite and this did not disappoint! I ordered a prosciutto and arugula pizza while Kevin went with pepperoni. I would highly recommend both of these pizzas! The crust is perfectly chewy just they way I like it.
Before our pizzas arrived, we were given fresh baked bread with olive oil which was also delicious. The flavor of the olive oil was so fruity and light, I loved every bite!
Eataly also has their own brewery called Birreria which we stopped in after lunch. I’m not a beer drinker but Kevin sampled a beer and enjoyed it! We even went to the location in NYC this summer which has a rooftop patio.
If you haven’t already explored Eataly, I highly recommend stopping in and checking it out. Their pizza is definitely worth dining in for! You can check out a full list of their restaurants here.
Eataly is located at 43 E. Ohio St. in Chicago’s River North neighborhood

Sekaran makes no easy judgments. She does the hard work of a thorough fiction writer and presents flawed characters aching with humanity ... This novel takes its time, and it could probably be shorter without losing much of its impact. But Sekaran’s prose is swift and engaging, her storytelling confident enough to justify the scenic route. She takes us from rural Oaxaca to a Berkeley sorority house; from a Silicon Valley tech campus dripping with money to the shadowy nightmares of immigrant detention centers. There’s a rich secondary cast — Kavya’s relationship with her mother Uma could sustain a novel on its own. It’s easy to imagine the lives of these characters even off the page. Lucky Boy pulses with vitality, pumped with the life breath of human sin and love.
Lucky Boy is both a contemporary page-turner (in the model of Chris Bohjalian’s novels) and a model of delicate, artful writing that lets us see an entire world — contemporary Berkeley, or, rather, two different versions of it — from its characters’ eyes. And its descriptions of the emotional rush of parenthood are often strikingly lovely.
...[a] sweeping, deep and strikingly compassionate second novel ... Topical and timely, but thankfully neither pedantic nor preachy, Sekaran's book invites the reader to engage empathetically with thorny geopolitical issues that feel organic and fully inhabited by her finely rendered characters. Because of the way Sekaran examines the vagaries of economic inequality and the messiness of love in addition to the intricacies of immigration and adoption, Lucky Boy would make a promising pick for a book club. The circumstances feel well-researched, but Sekaran never lets that research get in the way of what is, at its core, a gripping story.

Royal Baby: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Welcome A Son
It’s a boy! Prince George and Princess Charlotte have a little brother
23 April 2018
Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!
Kensington Palace has announced that Prince William and Kate Middleton have welcomed their third child, as the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a baby boy. The newest royal family member was born on an important day in English History, St. George's Day, on 23rd April at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. The same hospital where his big brother Prince George and big sister Princess Charlotte were born.
Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge safely delivered her son at 1101hrs, as the baby weighs a healthy 8lbs 7oz. The Duke of Cambridge was by his wife’s side and present for the birth. Kensington Palace reported that both Her Royal Highness and her child are doing well.
Earlier today it was announced that the Duchess of Cambridge had been admitted to hospital in the early stages of labour, as the world eagerly awaited the arrival of the royal baby. The press and media gathered outside the Lindo Wing ahead of the birth, before the news was revealed.
Per royal protocol, an official announcement will be posted with the full details on an easel in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace. But, until then we’re delighted for the British royal family and their new addition, as Britain welcomes the fifth in line to the UK throne.
The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news! Any guesses on baby names?! We'll keep you updated on all the royal baby news...

*Paul Mooney has long been known to make a person laugh, but the comedy legend has reportedly been dealing with a serious issue for well over a year.
According to rollingout.com, Mooney has been battling prostate cancer. As a result, the condition has taken its toll physically on the funnyman, who now uses a wheelchair and cane.
Apparently, few knew the status of Mooney’s health as he’s continued to perform his stand-up comedy routine. However, the comedian, who also made is mark as a writer on shows such as “Chappelle’s Show,” “The Larry Sanders Show,” “In Living Color,” “Pryor’s Place,” “The Richard Pryor Show,” “Saturday Night Live,” “Good Times” and “Sanford and Son” among others, currently receives assistance from a cane as well as brother, Rudy Mooney.
“I’ve been with Paul since the start of this thing,” stated Rudy Mooney to Rolling Out. Worries regarding whether Paul Mooney can continue his comedy career have become a nonissue right now as the longtime Oakland, California resident still travels all over the country and Canada to perform his brand of comedy.
Despite his determination to continue on with his career, evidence of Mooney’s declining health was found recently during an appearance on “The Arsenio Hall Show.” Rolling Out reports the performance was hard one to watch for people who know Mooney as the entertainer sat in a chair after walking out with a cane. After starting his routine, Mooney lost his way several times during the performance.
To see Paul Mooney’s discuss his health with Roland Martin, check out the video below:

Singapore Confirms 259 New Covid-19 Cases On 4 Sep
The Ministry of Health (MOH) reported 259 new Covid-19 cases in Singapore today (4 Sep).
253 cases are within the local community, 116 of which are currently unlinked.
6 others are imported, with 4 testing positive upon arrival in Singapore while the remaining 2 developed symptoms while serving their Stay-Home Notices (SHNs).
This is the highest number of cases Singapore has reported in a day since 6 Aug 2020, when we had 301 new Covid-19 cases.
Today’s tally brings our total so far to 68,469.
New cluster at Changi General Hospital
In their update on Friday (3 Sep) evening, MOH reported a new cluster at Changi General Hospital (CGH), comprising 14 Covid-19 cases.
MOH confirmed 11 cases on the same day, suggesting that 3 others had emerged sometime earlier.
Though MOH had reported a cluster at CGH earlier in Aug, it appears that both have no links to each other.
According to The Straits Times (ST), all 14 cases in the new cluster involve CGH staff who have been fully vaccinated.
The employees reportedly work at the hospital’s basement most of the time and have no direct interaction with patients.
No pressing need to tighten restrictions
Despite the consistently high number of new cases daily, the authorities apparently have no plans to tighten restrictions yet.
Co-chair Mr Lawrence Wong shared the news in the Multi-Ministry Taskforce press conference yesterday (3 Sep).
He explained that the recent trend comes as no surprise, especially with looser rules following the lifting of Phase 2 Heightened Alert (P2HA).
Hope number of Covid-19 cases will fall
Be that as it may, many Singapore residents still hope for a significant fall in case numbers over time.
With the threat of new variants still present, we’d likely only be able to breathe easy if the situation improves tangibly.
In order to work towards that, everyone has to do their part by complying with health and safety measures.
Hopefully, if we commit to that, we can see much more comforting reports in time to come.

Regulation of Inhibitory GABA Neuron Function
Another ubiquitin ligase that the Grill Lab studies is called EEL-1 in C. elegans and HUWE1 in mammals. Our interest in HUWE1 is driven on two levels. 1) Better understanding how ubiquitin ligase activity shapes inhibitory GABA neuron function. 2) Strong, growing evidence that human genetic changes that reduce or increase HUWE1 function result in syndromic and non-syndromic forms of intellectual disability.
Our work has demonstrated that EEL-1 regulates presynaptic GABAergic transmission, and affects E/I balance in a simple model circuit, the C. elegans motor circuit. To determine how EEL-1 regulates presynaptic GABAergic transmission, we have deployed affinity purification proteomics using C. elegans to identify EEL-1 binding proteins. The initial discovery from these efforts was the finding that EEL-1 forms a complex with the O-GlcNAc transferase OGT-1. Our results using automated behavioral tracking of C. elegans locomotion in liquid, and pharmacological manipulation of the worm motor circuit showed that OGT-1, like EEL-1, affects GABA neuron function. Our work provided the first evidence that EEL-1 and the EEL-1/OGT-1 complex affect GABA neuron function. The biomedical implications of our discoveries are heightened by evidence that genetic changes in human HUWE1 result in intellectual disability, and emerging links between genetic changes in OGT and intellectual disability.
We are now moving forward with both proteomic and genetic screens to further understand how HUWE1 shapes inhibitory GABA neuron function.

The Trojans bounced back from their worst performance of the young season against Marquette on Friday with a very convincing 77-62 win over a good Harvard team, and are now 7-2. With the win, USC finished in third place in the Orlando Invitational, having gone 2-1 at the event, with wins over Fairfield and Harvard, and a loss to Marquette. Harvard is the preseason favorite in the Ivy League and entered the game ranked 81 in ESPN’s Basketball Power Index (BPI), compared to SC’s 61 ranking. Troy led by as many as 25 in the second half, and by over 20 until the final few minutes. Onyeka Okongwu was dominate. Big O had 21 points on 9-10 from the field and 9 rebounds in the first half, and finished with 27 and 14, on 12-14 from the field.
The Trojans led 51-43 at the half in what looked like another very high scoring game, but both teams cooled off after the half. There was a lot to like in this game. The Trojans dominated the boards, out rebounding the Crimson by 14. The margin was 22-9 at the half. Many of Harvard’s rebounds came after the game was decided. Isaiah Mobley was big on the boards with 11, along with 8 points. SC’s two grad transfers found their shooting touch. Quinton Adlesh made 4-6 threes, and Daniel Utomi was 2-4. Hopefully this marks a turning point and the Trojans shoot better from the perimeter for the rest of the season.
Neither team shot the ball well in the second half. Harvard had only 2 points in the first 12 minutes of the second half, and scored most of their 19 second half points well after the game was decided. Several of the other Trojans also played well. Ethan Anderson didn’t score, but had a good game handling the ball with 4 assists and no turnovers. Nick Rakocevic had 9 points and 8 rebounds, though he made only 3-10 from the field. And Jonah Mathews contributed 12 points in the first half, including 1-4 from three, but didn’t score in the second half.
The Trojans won two of three in Orlando, which was the minimum for a successful trip. The next game is on Friday at TCU, which will provide the Trojans with another opportunity to pick up a good win away from home.
The Trojans can point to some impressive positives from this game and from the trip, but there were also some negatives. Let’s look at the positives and then the negatives.
What We Learned About The Trojans
- SC played its best half on offense so far. The team shot 60% from the field and 5-8 from three in the first half. The Trojans also played its best half on defense in the second half, holding a Harvard team which was hot in the first half to 7-27 (26%) and 2-10 from three after halftime. SC changed its defense on outside screens, and they were very successful in the second half in eliminating the wide open shots. They may have found a defensive formula for the rest of the season.
- The win over Fairfield in the first round of the tournament looks a little better, after Fairfield beat Texas A&M on Sunday.
- The loss last week to Temple doesn’t feel as bad. Temple was also in this tournament, beating Harvard and Davidson and losing only to fifth ranked Maryland.
- Harvard started four seniors, but the young Trojans players more than held their own.
- On the negative side, the Trojans perimeter defense was awful in the first half. Harvard made 8-17 from three, and most of the shots were wide open. On outside ball screens, the Trojans repeatedly wound up with two defenders on the ball while leaving the screener wide open. The Crimson found the open man time and again.
- Seven of SC’s nine opponents have made at least nine threes against the Trojans, and Troy is being out scored by 10 points per game from three. Harvard out scored SC by 9 from three.
- After Marquette’s Markus Howard lit the Trojans up for 51 points on Friday, Maryland limited him to 1-12 from the field and 0-6 from three in the tournament championship game. Maryland played him much more aggressively than the Trojans, and made it their top priority to prevent any easy shot by Howard and force him to be a passer.
- Chuck O’Bannon suffered an injury in practice and had hand surgery on Nov 27. The oft-injured O’Bannon is expected to miss a month. This is the Trojans’ first significant injury of the season.
- The Trojans were only 10-17 from the free throw line against Harvard. They will need to be better in close games.
Through games coming into this weekend, TCU was ranked no 60 in the BPI Index, just ahead of the Trojans. They are 5-1, losing to Clemson by two in their only game away from home. Their best win was by one point over a good UCI team at home. They host Illinois State on Tuesday before Troy comes to town. The Trojans will be the best team the Frogs have played.
If the Trojans can find a way to pair their first half offense with their second half defense from the Harvard game they can be very formidable. The Trojans will continue to need good inside production from Big O and Isaiah, and more consistency from Nick. In a few games, Nick has been the best player on the court. It was a very good sign that Q and Daniel made six threes between them. I believe that perimeter scoring and defense remain the key to the season. This game showed the Trojans what they can become if they play hard for 40 minutes on both ends. With only four non conference games left, the game at TCU and the one against LSU at Staples later in the month are very important in building their NCAA resume.

Kevin Duffy: This is no movie, Weston's really in Class M final
Updated 12:32 am, Friday, March 15, 2013
WESTON -- Back on the job, one day away from a state championship, Weston coach Mike Hvizdo put a seemingly unimaginable season into simple terms.
"It's been kind of crazy," Hvizdo said nonchalantly.
The short of it: A second-year coach -- and former actor -- lost his job for three weeks, got it back and has led his 23rd-seeded Trojans to an unlikely appearance in the Class M title game.
Quite a story. But to paint the picture of the guy they call "Coach Viz," Weston senior captain Charlie DiPasquale tells another story: Last season, Weston's team manager wanted to go to a school dance with one of the players, Evan Blitzer. In this particular practice, Hvizdo was getting on Blitzer, yelling for "more effort" and better execution, threatening to make the entire team run as punishment.
"We were like, `(Blitzer) is not even doing that bad,'" DiPasquale said. "Why is coach laying into him?"
Finally, Hvizdo shouted to Blitzer, "Everybody is going to get on that baseline right now if you don't ... go to the dance with Jenny."
"He definitely can act," DiPasquale said.
His acting became the center of a bizarre midseason controversy: Hvizdo was removed from the head coaching position -- he didn't resign, he said -- over a "raunchy" video that was sent to school administrators. In a story written by John Nash of The Norwalk Hour, sources said a Weston parent was "upset with the way their son was being treated as a basketball player, and the inquiry into Hvizdo's past was nothing more than a blatant attack with the sole goal of getting the coach removed."
The inquiry turned up a short film titled "Forbidden Fruit," which Hvizdo, who studied theater at Sacred Heart, likens to "American Pie."
"I was a professional actor," Hvizdo said. "It was a comedy film that I did, and it was rated R with raunchy context. No nudity, not porn -- just rated R."
Hvizdo, 39, has put his acting days behind him. He hadn't thought about "Forbidden Fruit" in years, didn't even realize it was on the Internet. After three weeks of sitting out while this dilemma -- if that's what you want to call it -- was sorted out, he's put this behind him, too.
"Coach Viz" was reinstated on March 3, the day before the Class M state tournament. Now Weston, 10-10 in the regular season and one-and-done in the SWC playoffs, is one game away from securing the school's second state championship. Fifth-seeded Valley Regional awaits tonight at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
"There have been ups and downs, bumps and bruises, but we kept plugging along," Hvizdo said.
It all started out with injuries to key players: Asher Lee-Tyson, a starting guard, missed the beginning of the year with an ankle injury. Junior 6-foot-2 captain Troy Flynn missed six weeks. DiPasquale, a 6-foot-1 senior who averages 13.7 points per game, battled through his own ankle injury, which affected him for "about five games," Hvizdo said.
Then came Hvizdo's three-week absence, a stunning development that drew national attention. As the players learned the details -- ridiculous as they were -- they began to speak out. They attended a Board of Ed meeting. They met with administration. DiPasquale, the president of the Weston High student government, said he was told by administrators, "It's not going to happen. He's not coming back."
Yet, on March 1, the school released the following statement: "Through further discussion, we have worked through the issues surrounding Mr. Hvizdo's resignation, which he has been permitted to rescind, and have clarified the district's expectations concerning his performance. We welcome Mr. Hvizdo back to our coaching staff, and we wish him and the Boys Basketball team every success for the future."
Before Weston's final tuneup for Valley Regional, DiPasquale provided a statement of his own.
"First off, (Hvizdo)came in and put in so much work for this program -- he did offseason programs and had us running and just put so much time into it," DiPasquale said. "He's also hilarious."
Sometimes, Hvizdo, who worked in New York City post-college as an actor and model, does imitations of his players. He also plays "improv games" before practice as a way to loosen things up.
"It helps me coaching," Hvizdo said. "Acting is about listening and reacting, and sports are about that, too."
How's this for a reaction?
In the Class M first round versus University High (Hartford), Weston trailed by two with 11 seconds remaining. DiPasquale slipped, but had the presence of mind to kick the ball out to Ethan Lee-Tyson. The 5-foot-10 junior lined up a 3-pointer from NBA range and drilled it, sending the Trojans to a thrilling 54-53 win.
They hammered 25th-seeded Tolland in the second round in front of a packed Weston gym. They held off second-seeded Kaynor Tech for an eight-point win, DiPasquale drilling the go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute. Then they took care of business against Enfield in the semifinals.
Yes, indeed, the whole season has been "kind of crazy."
It seems straight out of the movies, a sports drama with an outrageous plot twist. And the best part?
This one could never land Coach Viz in any trouble.

Manchester City face a tough opening at the Molineux on Monday night, and we reckon they might struggle against a resolute Wolves side.
Premier League 2020/21
Date: Monday September, 21st
Venue: Molineux Stadium
Wolves made a flying start to their Premier League season when beating Sheffield United 2-0 last weekend, Raul Jimenez and Roman Saïss scoring in the space of three first half minutes to give them the victory.
They might have came up short against Stoke City in their midweek Carabao Cup meeting, but the hosts are undoubtedly a direct, solid unit when at their fortress and City will have their hands full trying to break them down here.
The hosts did the double over their opposition last term, winning 3-2 here and Nuno Espirito Santo will be looking to rally his side to another big result on Monday night.
Having seen their start to the season delayed due to their Champions League exhaustions from last season, Manchester City travel to West Midlands looking to arrest their poor run of form against Wolves, even without taking in any tune-up game during pre-season.
The duo of Nathan Ake and Ferran Torres arrived on decent sums during the off-season to beef up the squad, with star player Sergio Aguero still on the sidelines.
So, what can these two sides conjure up on the betting part of this meeting?
Jonny Castro is Wolves only injury worry, the Spaniard struggling to overcome a knee problem.
Aguero (knee) is ruled out, and Aymeric Laporte is not also available.
Head to Head
In 121 previous meetings, Wolves pips their rivals narrowly with 48 wins to City’s 47. 26 games have been drawn between them.
Wolves last five competitive games: LWLWL
Manchester City last five competitive games: LWWWL
Manchester City are expected to take time to get going here especially with the absence of Aguero, while the likes of Leroy Sane and David Silva have jumped ship. They will be intent on revenge probably, having lost twice to this rival last season, but Wolves strong start to the campaign equally makes them hard to oppose. A close encounter thus beckons, and we will snap up a fulltime draw for this game at odds of 7/2.

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus aren't Apple's range-topping models, but they do have one component in common with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. It turns out that all of Apple's new iPhones use the same modem.
We already knew that Apple used Qualcomm's X70 modem in its best iPhones, but now we have confirmation that it also has pride of place in those a little further down the lineup.
While the move means that there is no difference between the modems used in the latest iPhones, Apple would surely still prefer to have used something different entirely. The company has been working on its own in-house 5G modem for years and has, to date, been unable to get it into a state that would allow it to be used in a shipping product.
More Pro than you might think
It's fair to say that it's unlikely most people will notice which modem they have in their iPhone, but the decision to use the Snapdragon X70 modem is still an interesting one. It means that Apple can use the same baseband software across its entire iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro lineup in particular, likely streamlining development.
In terms of real-world use, the biggest improvement over the Snapdragon X65 that some had expected Apple to use will be improved power consumption and better signal strength.
A lot of people have asked whether the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are still using last years Qualcomm X65 modem or the new X70 seen in the 15 Pro's. Here's your answer.Apple didn't just throw last years Pro logic boards into this years baseline models. They upgraded them too. pic.twitter.com/cPB6LJbaFGOctober 8, 2023
This is all according to iFixit teardown expert Shahram Mokhtari who shared the news via X, the social media network previously known as Twitter.
With Apple giving the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus last year's A16 Bionic it was thought it might also use last year's modem, too. That's not the case, however.
Apple and Qualcomm recently signed a multi-year deal that will see the latter continue to provide modems for iPhones. Apple will hope to have its own modems ready by the time that deal runs out.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a law that will require colleges and lenders to provide detailed accounts of any arrangements they might have.
The news delighted New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, the man who has fired the first shots on every front of what is becoming a nationwide investigation into the student loan industry.
"Elected leaders on both sides of the aisle have demonstrated a true commitment to protecting America's students and parents from deceptive practices and conflicts of interest which are rampant in the student loan industry," Cuomo said. "The New York State Legislature passed similar legislation earlier this week which, like the Sunshine Act, will help put an end to the vicious cycle of debt perpetuated by lenders and their university partners.
"Congressman George Miller's leadership on this issue has been outstanding and he should be applauded for his superb work President Bush should immediately endorse this legislation and exercise the leadership needed to get this Bill passed quickly in the Senate and signed into law."
Recently, the Slate (Student Lending Accountability, Transparency and Enforcement) Act was passed by the New York legislature. It is designed to protect college students who are prospective lendees from conflicts of interest in the student loan industry and modeled after Cuomo's College Loan Code of Conduct to which dozens of institutions have agreed.
Cuomo has bashed the federal government in the past, claiming the Department of Education does not enforce existing regulations in the student loan industry while he testified before the House Committee on Education and Labor.
Cuomo has said that his investigation has revealed inappropriate relationships between lenders and schools. He alleged that Education Finance Partners, against whom he filed his first lawsuit and with whom he recently settled, was put on schools' "preferred lender" lists because it offered a cut of its profit to those schools.
He has also settled with dozens of schools and the four largest student lenders -- Sallie Mae, Citicorp, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America.

Oil – the lure of foreign shoresPUBLISHED: 21 Apr 2011 00:15:50 | UPDATED: 21 Apr 2011 00:16:33PRINT EDITION: 21 Apr 2011
Oil Search drill site in Papua New Guinea.
Oil Search drill site in Papua New Guinea.
The limited chance of oil discoveries in Australia means many home-grown explorers seek opportunities overseas, lured by the potential of eye-popping returns.
Few companies have the deep pockets required to participate in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico, despite the favourable fiscal regime and the wealth of existing infrastructure that eases the path to development in that region.
Mining giant BHP Billiton, and Woodside Petroleum, are the only major Australian companies with operations there.
But closer to home, Papua New Guinea has provided a solid base for Oil Search, which started up more than 80 years ago and is now set for a significant expansion into liquefied natural gas (LNG) production.
Oil Search, partly owned by the PNG government, owns 29 per cent of the ExxonMobil-operated $US15 billion PNG LNG project, due to begin exporting to Asia in 2014.
Oil Search shares have risen 25 per cent in the past 12 months amid expectations the venture will soon have enough gas to expand. But as a result some analysts now regard Oil Search as overvalued.
“The PNG LNG project is still in the early development phase, while drilling to prove up sufficient gas volumes to underpin a third LNG train in PNG is not expected until the fourth quarter of 2011 at the earliest,” said Credit Suisse energy analyst Sandra McCullagh.
Investing in PNG still involves uncertainty, as illustrated by Horizon Oil’s recent difficulty in extending a retention licence. The explorer and its partner Talisman Energy had to resort to legal proceedings after the government refused to renew their lease, saying they had not completed work they had committed to.
A settlement last month eventually resulted in the partners securing 70 per cent of a replacement licence.
“Something like that sets alarm bells ringing,” said Gavin Wendt, founder of resources analysis firm Mine Life.
“PNG has always had an up-and-down history for security for companies operating there, both in oil and gas and in mining.”
Africa also offers a mixed track record. Early optimism about the potential for Mauritania for Woodside Petroleum was replaced by a more sober assessment as its Chinguetti field underperformed and amid allegations of private payments to government officials.
Roc Oil has put its African assets up for sale, with new chief executive Alan Linn preferring to allocate the company’s limited capital to projects in Asia and China that offer more certain and shorter-dated returns. Malaysia, with its many discovered but undeveloped oil fields, now looks likely to become a new area of focus for Roc.
Africa still offers the potential for large rewards for explorers, particularly after huge discoveries such as the Jubilee field off Ghana and exploration successes by Tullow Oil in Uganda and by BG and Anadarko Petroleum along the eastern coast.
Beach Energy last year entered an exploration venture in Tanzania, targeting high-risk, high-reward opportunities in the Lake Tanganyika region, while Rialto Energy is exploring in the Ivory Coast and Pancontinental Oil & Gas and Origin Energy have ambitions in Kenya.
In Asia, Santos has built up producing ventures in Indonesia and is set to start up oil production in Vietnam in the December half, while a venture in the Bay of Bengal is still in the exploration phase.
Neon Energy could drill the first well in its prospective acreage offshore from Vietnam later this year. Otto Energy and Nido Petroleum are focusing on the Philippines.
South America has attracted Karoon Gas Australia, which has interests in the highly prospective Santos Basin offshore from Brazil and an exploration venture in Peru.
Among even more exotic destinations is the Seychelles, where WHL Energy is working up prospects for drilling, and Syria, where Agri Energy has pointed to potential resources of more than 500 million barrels of oil equivalent.
At the other end of the spectrum is North America, where a host of junior Australian companies have interests, ranging from onshore conventional production to the rapidly emerging shale industry.
Investments in oil and gas companies with overseas interests span a wide range of risks, from low-risk production in established petroleum basins through to rank exploration in areas where no oil and gas has previously been found.
“It’s not like mineral exploration: there are relatively few places in the world where oil and gas can be found,” says Mine Life’s Mr Wendt. “Oil companies for the last 100-plus years have always been prepared to accept higher levels of risk, and some of these ventures represent a step up again.”

Before you begin your robot training, you might want to pause for a moment and consider the fact that we have already begun talking about "intelligent" robots.
This information can be used to guide the robot's behavior. Mobile robots such as the probes sent to other planets or bomb disposal robots often have universal grippers that mimic the function of the human hand. It takes the information about the performance of each camera. Without the data supplied by the sense organs, the brain would be incapable of intelligence. The simplest robots consist of an arm with a tool attached for a particular task. Potential power sources could be: A. Pre-Programmed Robots. Some robots use open serial chains in which each link connects the one before to the one after it. , which was designed for military space use. Call this ranking a "hierarchy." More advanced robots may move around on wheels or treads.
The Robot Control system acts as the brain of the robot. The 3 axes are nothing but 3 translational motion in X, Y, and Z directions, and the fourth axis will be used to rotate the tool. The vast majority of robots use electric motors, including bushed and brushies DC motors. 5. In order to function a robot must have power. An image of an object comes through the camera lens and falls on an image plane inside the camera.
The varying light intensities associated with each pixel are then translated into varying voltage levels and transmit to the interface electronics. For example, robotic factory workers have interchangeable tools such as paint sprayers or welding torches. Manipulator:. Even a thermostat and a pocket calculator might meet that rquirement. Two Finger: These Grippers are used for gripping components that have uncomplicated form, and can be utilized for inner or outer gripping. Adaptive control for robots may be defined as the modification in its behavior such that it will adjust to the changes in it’s working environment. Robots are an invention of the modern science, and have been created with extended research, with the aim to ensure accuracy and speed of movement. The simplest robots consist of an arm with a tool attached for a particular task. Most of the time, the effectors are specific to the tasks that you want your robot to do.

Vacuum End Effector: It consists of a cup-shaped component, and when it comes into contact with a smooth part, vacuum is created in the cup which ensures that the part remains attached. Bottom-Up: Don't bother with a brain! The base of the manipulator is fixed to base support and at its other free end, the Endeffector is attached. The 3D coordinate information is analyzed by the Sensor Control Unit (SCU) and sent it to the RCU (Robot Control Unit) so that action can be taken by the control unit and deliver it to the manipulator. If everything can be done by the robot, the health hazards for humans increases i.e. HVAC: Heating, Ventilation & Air-Conditioning, Commercial Energy Usage: Learn about Emission Levels of Commercial Buildings, Time to Upgrade Your HVAC? The very simplest pre-programmed robot merely repeats the same operations over and over. Therefore, In this article, I will be explaining the Components of Robot along with its Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications.
Stepper motors: Stepper motors do not spin freely like DC motors; they rotate in discrete steps, … Human beings sense what is going on around them and react accordingly. Motors: The vast majority of robots use electric motors, including bushed and brushies DC motors. Required fields are marked *. Robots receive feedback from sensors that mimic human senses such as video cameras or devices called light-dependent resistors that function like eyes or microphones that act as ears. The Robot controller will check the (actual amount of work to be done) to the (work has done on the workpiece) and calculate the difference. Learn how your comment data is processed. The manipulator is powered by pneumatic cylinders or hydraulic cylinders or hydraulic motors to power the various axes of motion. Copyright. Others include spikes, lights, hammers,and screw-drivers. To be considered a robot, a device must have a body that it can move in reaction to feedback from its sensors. A "gripper" at the end of a robotic arm is a common end-effector. . The actuators are the 'muscles' of a robot; the parts which convert stored energy into movement. It helps the robot to move its hands (grippers), and its feet (wheels and the castor). Three Finger: These types are similar to the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of the human hand, and are used for holding parts that are round or that need revolving. Some have a fixed manipulator which cannot be replaced, while a few have one very general purpose manipulator. In other words the controller (the computer) of the robot cannot do any meaningful task, if the robot is not with a component analogous to the sense organs of the human body.

Scara robot has 4-axis. This allows the robot to judge attributes of the environment that can only be determined by vision, such as shape and color, as well as aid in determining other important qualities, such as the size and distance of objects. This has the advantage of saving weight and space by moving all power generation and storage components elsewhere. The Endeffector is expected to perform tasks normally performed by the palm and finger arrangements of the human arm. Content Guidelines The most useful camera for machine vision is the. in wars, fire fighting, etc. The Sensor Control Unit (SCU) provides visual information about the scene to be analyzed. The Robot Controlled Unit was already discussed…Now let’s discuss the Sensor Control Unit (SCU). Sensors are nothing but measuring instruments which measures quantities such as position, velocity, force, torque, proximity, temperature, etc. As the magnet is extracted from the cylinder, the magnetic field fades, and the parts are released.

With the help of this controller, the robot is able to carry out the assigned tasks. When the actuator drives the magnet towards the front end of the cylinder, it holds ferrous parts. The controller directs and controls the movement of the Manipulator and the Endeffector. Although the word "robot" was first used in Czech writer Karl Capek's 1921 play, "Rossum's Universal Robots," human beings have been tinkering with machines that run without human guidance since the time of the Pharaohs.
The most useful camera for machine vision is the solid-state matrix array camera, which was designed for military space use. Mechanical Students dedicated to the future Mechanical Engineering aspirants since 2017. They are used in industries to do the work continuously and also used to explore the space. Robots can be made in suprisingly many ways, using all manor of materials. Pneumatics and hydraulics are another way of moving parts of the robot, particularly where the robot needs a lot of strength to perform a particular task. Our robotic space probes and satellites are often designed to collect solar power. The intelligence of the robot is in the control element, which directs the manipulator along the ideal route.

You build a brain, by writing an artificial intelligence (AI) computer program. Robot bodies consist of metal, plastic and similar materials. Mohammed Shafi is the Founder of Mechanical Students. The most popular actuators are electric motors. A recent alternative to DC Motors are piezo motors or ultrasonic motors. Robots used as manipulators have an end effectors mounted on the last link. If the brain is built properly, it will take the input data from the sensors and be "smart enough" to behave intelligently in response to it. The actuator helps the brain of the robot to respond to the surrounding environment. Before publishing your articles on this site, please read the following pages: 1. Robot bodies consist of metal, plastic and similar materials. ADVERTISEMENTS: The very simplest pre-programmed robot merely repeats the same operations over and over. The information from this grid is acquired by scanning rapidly the entire field, line by line.
The maintenance and repair costs of robots are more. increase in obesity for sitting continuously without doing any work and depending only on the machine, etc. Speakers can allow certain robots to talk to us or generate other sounds.
Sensors are what allow a robot to gather information about its environment. Stationary robotic arms like the ones that work in car factories can be plugged in like any other appliance. It behaves in a very similar way to a biological muscle; it can be used to construct robots with a similar muscle/skeleton system to an animal. A robot is derived from the Czech word ‘robota’ which means slave labor and was invented by Karel Capek in 1917. A tailored form consists of two parallel fingers with disposable inserts that are designed to handle special parts. End Effectors are a mechanism, which is located on the manipulator that pick up objects, grasp, and manage the movement of items in accordance with the designed parameters. The applications of Robot are as follows.
These are invented in order to replace humans where there is a value for human life i.e. The effectors are the parts of the robot that actually do the work.

Baby with spina bifida dies suddenly in her pram while her mother was taking her for a walk
- Shannon Tideswell was taking walking with daughter Maisie-Leigh Lamb in pram
- Lips had turned blue and she had stopped breathing when mother took her out
- Maisie-Leigh taken to hospital by ambulance but later pronounced dead there
Maisie-Leigh Lamb, who had spina bifida, died suddenly after she stopped breathing while out for a walk with her mother
An eight-month-old girl with spina bifida suddenly died when she was taken for a walk by her mother.
Maisie-Leigh Lamb was being walked around a park in her pram by her mother, Shannon Tideswell, when she stopped breathing.
Shannon, 20, noticed her baby's lips had turned blue and she had stopped breathing when she went to take her out of her pram.
Maisie-Leigh was taken by ambulance to the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham but she was pronounced dead.
She was born with spina bifida, a condition where the spine does not develop properly, as well as hydrocephalus, a build-up of fluid in the brain.
Shannon made the most of April 9 as it was recorded as the hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures reaching as high as 22C (71F) in Nottingham.
Shannon, from Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, said: 'She was a smiley and happy baby. She had gone through so much in her short life but it didn't affect her. She was still always smiling.
'She was limited in what she could do - she couldn't move her legs and she had more strength in her right arm than her left but she was just Maisie. We loved her and we miss her so much.'
Shannon's mother Tracy, 44, said the family is now planning a balloon release at Wollaton Park, Nottinghamshire, in her memory on April 23.
She said: 'Maisie is well known on Facebook through people following her story from when Shannon found out she had spina bifida.
'Lots of people said they wanted to pay their respects and we suggested to do a balloon release for Maisie and there were lots of people interested in coming along.
'We will also be laying pink roses down for Maisie. I think there will be quite a few people, there was about 100 people interested the last time I looked.

'People who can't make it have also said they will release balloons all over the world - we've had people from Spain and Australia saying they will be paying their respects.'
The family are now planning to release balloons in the park in her memory.
A fundraising campaign has been set up to try and raise money for the Queen's Medical Centre's E40 ward, which Maisie-Leigh spent four weeks on after her birth.
Shannon described her daughter Maisie-Leigh was 'a smiley and happy baby'
The family, including Maisie-Leigh's father Liam Lamb, 23, will also be hosting fun days throughout the year to increase the total, which is currently at more than £1,700.
Tracy added: 'The money we receive from the JustGiving page will not come to us, it is for the charity we are supporting.
'Shannon wants to pay for the funeral herself, she doesn't want it to be funded by donations so we are raising money for the ward Maisie-Leigh was born on.
'We wanted to make sure she was safe on that day, she had a sun hat on.
'Shannon made sure she walked in the shade of the trees around the lake.
'Maisie-Leigh was a big part of our lives even though she only lived for eight months. My heart is breaking and so is my daughter's.'
Maisie-Leigh's funeral will take place on Tuesday, April 25 at the Bulwell Cemetery Chapel, in Hempshill Lane, Bulwell, Notts.
Those wishing to donate to the fundraising campaign can visit justgiving.com.

max. number of boundaries in fluent 6.3
i am modelling a heat ex-changer with cross flow entry. due to the cross flow , there is some flow distribution among the flow channels of the shell side fluid. this is giving a temperature distribution among the pipes, which cause a thermal buckling of he hottest tube and stretching in coldest tube. to minimize to address this issue, i am doing a full simulation.
i have used HYPERMESH for modelling and meshing. it was having 980 collectors, and there are 16 porous jumps for the shell side fluid, so this is resulting in further division in FLUENT taking the total to ~1600 boundaries.
the case file written from HYPERMESH as FLUENT case is giving an error ACCESS VIOLATION while reading.
can any one help me to solve this issue.
the attachment gives a schematic. only 26000 to 18500 portion is modelled
