In Reply to: A suggestion posted by Yon Bard on January 11, 1999 at 12:28:16:

What I find particulary interesting about Yon Bard's suggestion is that it describes, more or less, the origional intent / purpose of the group Steve Price organized, which subsequently took over management of TurkoTek.

Steve's idea was that group members would provide different pieces with a brief explination and perhaps questions, for review and commentary. What I enjoyed most about this approach was it provided me the opportunity to see and learn about a broad variety of pieces.

In the next week, we will open a "Show and Tell" board on TurkoTek, where participants can post and discuss images along these lines.

NAB 2014: Furniture

Strop into the cockpit March 26, 2014
LAS VEGAS—If you’ve been in this business for any length of time then you know that “broadcast furniture” doesn’t refer to the sofa in the station lobby, the news desk in the studio or that easy chair in the GM’s office. Broadcast furniture in the form of racks, consoles and editing and graphics workstations is a lot more subtle, but is still a major part of just about any broadcast operation.

Forecast Consoles’ Mastervision series
FORECAST CONSOLES will highlight its MasterVision product line specifically developed for master control and network operation centers. It features a shallow base structure and slim-line countertop to reduce the overall console footprint and optimize operator interaction with touch-screen monitors and equipment. Its extremely low drop-wells and reduced wedge/turret profiles allow clear site-lines even when stacking multiple monitors. MasterVision is designed to be bay width independent, ensuring a correct fit in any environment.

TBC’s Monitor Frame System
TBC CONSOLES will show its new Monitor Frame System which recognizes the industry trend towards large near-field displays fed by multiviewers. The frames allow mounting of displays up to 80-inches to existing desks or to any of TBC’s console units. They can also be used to mount multiple smaller monitors. TBC will also show its first SmartTrac console incorporating a full base unit for mounting computers or rack gear. Booth visitors should also look for the company’s fourth-generation IntelliTrac console that features an extremely low profile and light turret transitions. TBC will also demo a new low-cost basic console incorporating a simple lever height adjustment.

WINSTED will spotlight its EnVision Command consoles that are designed to offer a perfect balance of form and function for today’s control room. They feature a modular design and are available in single-, double-, or triple-tier configurations, with each tier supporting either 7.5- or 15-inch “slat-track” sections for mounting multiple video monitors for ergonomically correct viewing angles. Cable management in the consoles is also designed to be convenient and flexible for maintenance and upgrades. Work surfaces are covered in Winsted’s Marmoleum material which, in addition to being environmentally friendly also has antibacterial and antistatic properties. (Winsted can also provide EnVision Command products with their Endurance Edge, Comfort Edge and Corian work surfaces.)

MPEG, Advanced Video Coding featured at NAB2004

April 16, 2004

A full-day session called “MPEG — Advanced Video Coding and Beyond” was held at NAB2004 in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 18. It was part of the NAB’s New Media Professionals conference organized by the MPEG Industry Forum (MPEGIF) and SMPTE.

The session explored how the broadcast industry could exploit the capabilities of the new Advanced Video Coding (AVC) codec jointly developed by the ISO/ITU Joint Video Team (JVT).

AVC satisfies the next-generation compression requirements of virtually all media and provides potential benefits to emerging markets such as video over DSL and the capacity needed for high definition. There is also vital work going on in MPEG-7 on content description (rich “metadata”) and MPEG-21, an end-to-end interoperable media framework surrounding the compression standards.

The MPEG conference was split into a morning session – focused on the AVC codec and its broadcast applications — and an afternoon session, covering the business aspects and ongoing developments in standardization, MPEG-7 and MPEG-21. Topics addressed included the intense debate on licensing and the worldwide explosion in demand for next-generation compression, not only in the broadcast market but in telco and wireless sectors.

Keynotes were provided by Andre Mendes, chief technology integration officer at Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), and David Price, an MPEG Industry Forum Board member and vice president of business development at Harmonic. Participating broadcasters included the BBC and ABC. Key standards bodies will also be represented, including SMPTE, ATSC and DVB.

The afternoon business panel featured MPEG-LA and Via Licensing and the law firm Cooley and Godward. Attending technologists were from Motorola, (co-chair ISO/ITU Joint Video Team), Harmonic, Dolby, ContentGuard, Microsoft, TANDBERG Television, Dicas and Fraunhofer.

John Marino, NAB vice president, science and technology, welcomed the addition to the NAB program, saying, “After nearly a decade [of] using MPEG-2, broadcasters have a vested interest in where MPEG is going, and this conference session is required attending for those interested in how this area of technology is evolving.”

A metallic chemical element with the symbol Pt and an atomic number of 78.

This durable metal is remarkably resistant to corrosion and is often used in jewelry for its inertness and shine.

Because of its hardness, it is used for secure stone stettings.

This white metal is preferable to silver because it does not discolor or oxidize.

It is a hypoallergenic metal making it the best metal choice for someone who react to other metals.

Platinum usually contains 90% or 95% pure platinum. A piece of jewelry marked 'plat' is at least 95% platinum.

It is a dense metal, so jewelry made from it will feel heavier.

Platinum is believed to represent determination, grit and resolve.

Cider Vinegar Making

Cider Vinegar Question

A question which came up at an apple day event about cider vinegar.

Is there any easy way of measuring the acidity of our own cider
vinegar in order to be sure that it can be used for pickling etc.?

To which the answer on the forum was:

Buy an acid testing titration kit used by winemakers. Dilute the
vinegar 1:10 with distilled or de-ionised or rain water before measuring
the acid. Then multiply the result you get by 10 to bring it back to
vinegar strength. If that figure is nominal tartaric acid, multiply
again by 0.8 to express the value as acetic. 5% acetic is the minimum
required for pickling.

See also the page scanned in by Andrew Lea from the Long Ashton Research Station Annual Report for the year 1917 pages 18-20 which gives some useful information about the making of cider vinegar.

Women in Coaching Panel Event

On April 28 I attended a panel discussion hosted by Leeds Beckett University at Headingley Carnegie Stadium. The topic of conversation was 'The Lives and Careers of Women as Sports Coaches' and the panel comprised of women coaches from grass root to high performance level who were more than qualified to speak on matters.

Dr Leanne Norman, Senior Research Fellow in Coaching at Leeds Beckett University introduced the panel which was expertly hosted by Shelley Alexander, the BBC's editorial lead on women's sport.

The panel included Marieanne Spacey, Assistant Manager of the England Women's Football Team, Paula Dunn, Head Coach of the Great Britain Paralympic Athletics Team and Salma Bi, award winning cricketer, founder of a coaching organisation that promotes women's cricket and the first British Asian woman to play County Cricket.

Throughout the evening the panellists discussed their various career pathways and personal journeys and the hot topic of the night was how to continue to improve the diversity of the coaching workforce within the UK.

Paula spoke about how she fell into coaching after agreeing to help out for 6 weeks, before realising that 6 years later she was hooked. Marieanne, however, had a clear plan and went straight into coaching after retiring from a successful playing career. She did feel though that she would have been able to offer much more if she had taken some more personal time post-retirement and engaged in some formal coach education.

All three women had a wealth of experience to share around operating in a male dominated environment. Paula was often the only female at the track as both an athlete and now still is as a coach, whilst also being the only female on the board which she sits. Paula spoke passionately about the confidence required to be in that kind of environment.

Support and opportunity were obviously more of an issue for Salma though and she seemed incredibly open to the label 'role model' and the pressures and responsibilities that come with the title. Being a trailblazer herself she was keen to provide young cricketers with the opportunities and high level of coaching that she lacked as a youngster, whilst also increasing her social impact and continuing to set new challenges.

With football being predominantly a male associated sport, and Marieanne being the Assistant to England women's Head Coach, Mark Sampson, Marieanne acknowledged the value of being a female coach with female athletes as she can empathise on a variety of levels. She did however make reference to the fear that some women encounter due to being in a male dominated environment and the need for more women's only courses within sport to build confidence.

The following quotes provide just a snap shot of the evening but were certainly eye opening and thought provoking for me:

"Those men on my pro-licence course could actually be inspiring to be me" - Marieanne Spacey. Perspective given with reference to her position as an Assistant Coach of a National side.

"If more women can see my pathway and it gives them encouragement to get involved then that is great" - Paula Dunn

"If you ever get the chance to sit on a board and make it more diverse then seize the opportunity, it's very rewarding!" - Shelley Alexander

For me, the evening could quite easily have tipped towards becoming a pity party about how hard done by and underrepresented women are within the coaching profession. However, the panel struck the perfect balance of being both realistic and also the limitations that most women face both internally and externally when it comes to coaching.

If you missed the event AND the live tweets from the Reach account then the full panel discussion can be watched on the Leeds Beckett University YouTube. However, if you are more of a listener, the event will be on air on Thursday 12 May at 6pm on BBC Radio Leeds 92.4fm, DAB and online.

Tanker crash spills 500 gallons of diesel into creek

A hazmat team was still working Thursday to clean up a large diesel spill after a tanker truck overturned and hit a tree on Orr Springs Road just before noon Wednesday, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The tanker crashed at 11:42 p.m. Aug. 8 and spilled 500 gallons of diesel into Ackerman Creek west of Montgomery Woods Wednesday, closing Orr Springs Road for three hours while authorities responded, according to CHP spokesman officer Steven Krul.

Driver William Pipes, 68, of Redwood Valley, was hauling 1,800 gallons of diesel west on Orr Springs Road when, for reasons still under investigation, the truck ran off the south edge of the road, rolled and hit a tree, causing the fuel spill, according to CHP spokesman officer Steven Krul.

CalFire extricated Pipes, who was flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital with moderate injuries. He was treated and released, Krul said Thursday morning.

A hazmat team responded to clean up the diesel spill, and the cleanup effort was ongoing Thursday morning, according to Krul.

Bassin du Roy
From May 27

Matter: Corten Steel

Tour 4

This is a monumental, evolving work of art with its roots in Le Havre’s history. It can be admired at Bassin du Roy, the harbor basin overlooked by the statue of Francis I, the king that founded the city. Artist Baptiste Debombourg spent time exploring the traces left by the monarch who brought the Italian Renaissance to France.

Among his numerous châteaux, there was Blois*: there, the king’s chamber is bedecked from floor to ceiling in rosettes and other incongruous adornments, mirroring the king’s supremacy. Baptiste Debombourg took inspiration from the chamber’s ornaments to create a metallic structure set into the harbor basin’s walls. As the weeks go by, the ebb and flow of the tide bring mussels, oysters and seaweed, which become caught in the structure and hang there, revealing the regal motifs in all their splendor. In short, the artist has invented the French seaside garden.

* Restored by Félix Duban in 1846

about Unlimited Yoga

The mission for Unlimited Yoga is simple ~ to help more people experience the many benefits of yoga and meditation through experiences and living a mindful lifestyle.

About Me (Lynn!)

Personally, I fell in love with yoga about five years ago after being introduced to it by a friend. Feeling stressed by my circumstances at the time, I could tell that I felt noticeably better on days when I rolled out my mat. Yoga allowed me to calm my mind, breathe out (something I somehow found myself forgetting to do), and feel stronger all at the same time.

While learning about yoga and the benefits of practicing, I read an article about how trauma-based yoga has proven to be an effective treatment for veterans suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). For me, this knowledge was powerful. A non-drug solution to alleviate anxiety, hyper-vigilance, and insomnia!? I became sold on yoga's ability to take care of the whole self - mind, body and spirit.

As founder of UnlimitedYoga.com, I hope I can inspire more people to practice more yoga. I love what yoga stands for – a present life, a healthy lifestyle, a positive existence, and a growing community.

Lynn Koves, Founder of Unlimited Yoga

What Teachers are saying...

I teach donation yoga on Tuesdays at Twisted Sister Yoga in Park Hill and I have seen a handful of people that found us through you. THANK YOU! I love seeing fresh faces in my classes. Especially beginner yogis :)
— Addison Gumbert, Owner of Karma Kosha - Mindful Meetups
Unlimited Yoga has been a great way for us to spread the word about Yoga for the People and help us find new students for our donation-based yoga classes, which are fundraisers for our mission. Lynn’s site is also a great conduit to let people see the work we do, which is to bring yoga to the people.
— Craig Pollitt, Board Member with Yoga for the People
Your website has already brought me 6 new students! So awesome thanks again!
— Gina Sedano, Founder at Silk Siren Aerial Yoga
Thanks to Lynn at Unlimited Yoga, I have had the pleasure of welcoming many new yogis into my Wednesday evening All Levels Vinyasa class! It’s wonderful to welcome fresh faces into our class each week and expand upon our community. Thank you for spreading the word Lynn!
— Rachel Fugate, Teacher at Intuition Healing Center
As teacher who is new to Denver via Chicago, working with Lynn at Unlimited Yoga has helped continuously drive new students to my classes. Just this week, 5 out of 11 new students heard about my Monday night Gentle Vinyasa/Restorative class at RiNo Yoga Social through the weekly Unlimited Yoga email. Not only has this given me the opportunity to meet new students, but it has also resulted in a significant increase in donations. Unlimited yoga has been a huge help in marketing my classes and building a client base in the Denver area.

A Personal Testimony: The Brand Is Mother's Milk

Gabriela Salazar is a nutritionist who graduated from the University of San Carlos in Guatemala (USAC).  Since her field practicum and graduation, she has worked in different parts of the country (Baja Verapaz, El Progreso, Sololá, Jutiapa, and Quiché). Her passion is "everything natural," starting with breastfeeding. Gabriela is part of the Nutri-Salud local team in Quiché, providing technical assistance and modeling nutritional counseling in health services. Camila is her first baby.

I was fortunate to have a normal delivery, immediate bonding and skin-to-skin contact with my baby girl, and breastfeeding in the first half-hour after birth. I am absolutely convinced that this process reinforced my determination to breastfeed and my position on its importance. These two qualities were crucial in the days following her birth.

Even before Camila was born I received presents of different types and brands of bottles and constant messages about using substitutes for maternal breast milk. From day one, I fielded comments and questions about my being sure that breast milk was sufficient for my daughter or whether it was sufficiently nutritious. This happened because Camila breastfed very frequently, slept little, and presented neonatal jaundice.[1]

And this was only the beginning. The real test began a week later, when I suffered from cracked nipples on both breasts. It was a painful and challenging experience that I was able to overcome thanks to three factors: (1) my conviction that breast milk was best for my baby; (2) tireless support from my husband, my parents, other relatives, friends, our pediatrician, the nurse midwife, and my La Leche League adviser; and (3) my baby's well-being, feeling her warm body close to mine and seeing her smile.

Camila Salazar

In fact, observing my little girl grow and develop and thrive was an incredible incentive to continue breastfeeding. When Camila was born, she weighed seven pounds and measured 20 inches. Over the course of her first month, she gained almost four pounds and measured 21 1/4 inches; at two months, she weighed 13.2 pounds and measured nearly 23 inches. At three months, her weight was 14 pounds and her length 24 inches. At four, the chart showed 15.4 pounds and 24 1/2 inches long; at five, 16 pounds and and just over 25 inches; and at six months, 18 pounds and 26-plus inches. This was a clear demonstration to me of the value of exclusively breastfeeding. I began to give her complementary foods at six months; I have continued to breastfeed her and now, at nine months, she weighs 19 pounds and measures over 27 inches long.

When people ask me if exclusive breastfeeding has been easy, I always tell them it hasn't. This is because, even with my strong belief in breastfeeding, I have required a lot of support, constancy, patience, discipline and love–especially because I remained dedicated to breastfeeding even after I returned to work.

The first time I tried expressing my milk to learn how to do it, I extracted only 1 ml. Two weeks later I expressed around 40–60 ml, and, with time, I have been able to express up to 240 ml. At times my breast milk production has diminished, which led me to use Ixbut and Moringa, two plants reputed to be galactagogues, which have enhanced my milk production. To prepare my baby for feeding after I returned to work, from the first week after she was born, I have given her my milk from a cup, with a dropper, off a spoon, and from a bottle to get her used to different ways of feeding. Camila drinks her milk in different ways.

I like to share my experience with health workers, as well as with friends and relatives. Sometimes people look at Camila and ask me what brand of milk I am giving her. My response always is, "The brand is mother's milk."

This experience has been a life lesson for me, and it has also served as an example and inspiration to other people. And the story will continue, at least until Camila and I complete 1,000 days.

[1] Jaundice is a common and usually harmless condition in newborn babies that causes yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes.

A particular member will get the sum equivalent to A / B * C (A divided by B into C) where A is half of site's monthly revenue, B is total effective points scored by all members and C is total effective points scored by the member concerned. For example, if a site's revenue is $100 or approximately Rs. 4400/-, then Rs. 2200/- will be distributed among the members. If total effective point of all members is is 4400 and your effective point is 500 then you will get 2200/4400 * 500, that is Rs 250.

    3. Minimum total eligible points will be 500, means if total points of all eligible partners are 320 still it will be considered as 500 and if you have 100 points then your share will be 100/500 * 50% revenue, not 100/320*50%

    4. This programme will be for three months, that is up to March 2011. After that, we may or may not continue with the same.

    5. Taking resort to unfair means such as copying will discontinue a particular member for the entire period.

    Post your feedback.

    Hello All
    I want to know that who were the shareholders for partnereship share of UKS as there is no post anouncing the winners of the partnership share since January 2011. Also there is nothing posted yet for March. Is this scheme of sharing revenue share still active on this site or not. Post responses please.

    Aim at Sky and You will Hit the Mountain Top.

  • #363
    Hello Hemant sir, very less members are positing articles in Resource section so there are no qualified members. As you know that one should have 50% points in Resource section. So there are no shareholders. According to of this revenue program has been extended for three more months, but please wait I will confirm it from webmaster sir. Till then keep posting specially in resource section.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Narender Sharma.

If you plan on attending, enter at Gate 3 at Rogers Arena at the corner of Expo & Abbott St. on the following dates:

  • Monday, May 5, 2014 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Tuesday, May 6, 2014 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

They encourage you to apply for the position(s) you are interested in prior to attending the Job Fair:

Earlier this year, the Canucks terminated their contract with U.S.-based Aramark as the Aquilini Groupo plans to operate its own food and beverage services starting July 1. According to reports, they will be hiring 1000 people.

Salaries for the positions have not been posted online.

The union representing Aramark is encouraging workers to reapply with the Canucks.

'Flying Swallow Semen' bewilders Vancouver chef

Nutmeg Flying Swallow Semen

Are you confused? You’re not the only one.

Pino Posteraro, the chef of Yaletown’s Cioppino Mediterranean Grill & Enoteca, was shopping for groceries at Osaka in Richmond’s Yaohan shopping centre when he encountered an ingredient called ‘Flying Swallow Semen’.

But no, this ingredient isn’t what you think – don’t take the meaning of the name literally…

This is actually dried jade fruit or better scientifically known as “semen (seed of) myristicae fragrantis” – a Chinese medicinal herb that is used to treat diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence, lack of appetite and vomiting.

At other stores, it’s known as nutmeg.

Craig McInnes: B.C.'s carbon-offsets market — a solution to pollution or a green gravy train?

Craig McInnes, Vancouver Sun columnist

Craig McInnes: B.C.'s carbon-offsets market — a solution to pollution or a green gravy train?

Auditor general John Doyle says the government’s claim to be carbon neutral is bunk because it is based on buying carbon offsets that are essentially worthless.

BRUCE STOTESBURY / Canwest News Service

There is a moment ripe with irony in The Carbon Hunters, the 2010 documentary by former Sun columnist Miro Cernetig, in which a Texas tycoon who made money in oil pulls up in his Hummer and starts extolling the virtues of the emerging market for carbon offsets.

“Some people will get rich out of this, but that’s nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about,” says Don Lambert, who had been tying up the rights to thousands of hectares of tropical rainforest with the intent of getting people to pay him for not mowing them down.

Cernetig’s well-balanced documentary looked at what was seen both as a “market solution for pollution” and a gravy train with a thin green veneer that was attracting hucksters of all stripes, along with legitimate players.

The bottom line was that while a market for carbon offsets has the potential to create real environmental benefits, it is also so infused with greedy self-interest that they may be awfully hard to find.

That theme was confirmed on Wednesday by the delayed release of a devastating report from auditor general John Doyle on the government’s claim of achieving carbon neutrality through the purchase of carbon offsets from the Pacific Carbon Trust. The PCT is the Crown agency set up in 2008 to create a market for offsets in B.C., but so far, the government has been the main customer.

It was present in the report’s findings, but also in what Doyle characterized as “an orchestrated campaign of delay and interference, led by a public sector entity on behalf of market interests.”

The depth of those interests was illustrated in a letter shopped around to reporters last week from James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters Climate Solutions, to Attorney General Shirley Bond.

The letter, dated Feb. 18 of this year, warned that he had heard that Doyle was meddling in a business that he didn’t understand. The result of his meddling, Tansey said, was a threat to “a pipeline of projects that has a value of $500 million over the next 30 years. We would have no choice but to seek compensation from Government of British Columbia for revenues lost due to the misguided actions of the OAG (office of the auditor general).”

Bond said Wednesday she passed the concerns on to Doyle, who in his customary bulldog style, pushed ahead with his report.

What he found was, as Tansey suggested it would be, a devastating blow to the industry, but also to the Pacific Carbon Trust and the Liberal government.

Doyle said the government’s claim to be carbon neutral is so much bunk. It’s bunk because it is based on purchasing carbon offsets that are essentially worthless.

The idea behind carbon offsets is that a polluter — in this case the government — pays someone else to cut back their pollution to offset the pollution that the purchaser can’t or isn’t willing to avoid.

For an offset to be a true benefit to the environment, it must represent both a real achievement and something that wouldn’t have been achieved without the infusion of cash from the purchaser.

As Doyle said, “the credibility of carbon offsets is the crux of the entire concept.”

Doyle looked at two projects that accounted for nearly 70 per cent of the offsets needed by the government to achieve carbon neutrality. One was by the energy giant EnCana and the other involved saving a patch of forest known as Darkwoods. Both were approved by Pacific Carbon Trust to the tune of about $6 million.

Neither, said Doyle, were credible. EnCana’s project was a money-maker anyway and the Darkwoods property was going to be preserved “without offsets being a critical factor in the decision.”

The board of directors for the Pacific Carbon Trust released a long statement when the report was released criticizing Doyle for the way he conducted his investigation and citing all of the experts in the field that had endorsed the projects.

The province also rejected Doyle’s main finding that it had failed to achieve carbon neutrality.

So who should voters believe? Doyle’s findings mirrored closely the previous work of Vancouver Sun reporter Gordon Hoekstra, who found a number of projects supported by the PCT that didn’t appear to meet the published criteria for legitimate offsets.

And forestry analyst Ben Parfitt, now with the B.C. Centre for Policy Alternatives, took an extensive look at the Darkwoods property two years ago and came up with serious doubts about its value as a legitimate offset.

In every case, the response from the PCT is that critics don’t understand how the process works.

Maybe. But it’s hard to find any experts acceptable to the PCT who aren’t profiting one way or another from the industry. That’s a problem when the taxpayers are footing most of the bills.

Default RV9A Ipadpro 12.9 in panel ....

Hi ,
just thought I'd post a few pictures of my panel using an ipadpro 12.9 !
The ipad can run 2 apps together using its sensors , one is running Skydemon
(a mostly european nav - app) second app is A-efis which is quite nice

I also made my own ipadholder :I slide it in , including its cover and it's kept
in place by the canopy , had to cut a small hole since it's the 12,9" ipad

franyo aatoth: Atom Deliver April 22, 2011 - June 02, 2011

Visitors of Várfok Gallery’s website will encounter, as the next picture presented by Portal Gallery, franyo aatoth’s painting entitled Atom Deliver. The fact that the Hungarian painter living in Paris uses an intense red background has become a well-known characteristic of his oeuvre. These surfaces are usually populated by sketchy, often caricaturistic figures and schematic spaces.

One of aatoth’s favourite motives recently is a naked sitting woman who appeared on his works for the first time in 2009, shown on a terrace. Since, one could follow her story through different situations. On the Atom Deliver we see the woman on the left side of the painting in her ordinary position as she is sitting naked on a chair with her legs open. As usual, her head is cut down by the edge of the picture. This way the artist deprives the figure of her identity and generalizes her.

Her roundish, naked body shines through the red space and stands in a strange contrast with the trivial figure of the completely dressed up ’atom deliver’ man. As if the nude of a classical painting would come to life, recalling the bathing figures of the famous French artist, Ingres. Nevertheless, aatoth’s painting is far from the world of ancient times and its values, even if the two little paintings with black frames hanging on the wall bring up something of the atmosphere of past bourgeois ages. We see the atom deliver unmercifully rushing inside the picture’s space: by the imbecile look on his face we know he’s without any kind of intelligence. And the huge atomball he pulls diffuses its radioactive particulates towards the woman, symbolising vanishing beauty.

Today's poem is "My Political Poem"
from Manhattanite

Able Muse Press

Aaron PoochigianSappho, Stung With Love, was published by Penguin Classics in 2009, and his translation of Apollonius's Jason and the Argonauts was released October 2014. For his work in translation he was awarded a 2010-2011 Grant by the National Endowment for the Arts. His first book of original poetry, The Cosmic Purr (Able Muse Press) was published in 2012, and several of the poems in it collectively won the New England Poetry Club's Daniel Varoujan Prize. His work has appeared in The Guardian, Poems Out Loud, and Poetry. Manhattanite is the winner of the 2016 Able Muse Book Award.

About Manhattanite:

In Manhattanite, his second book of poems, Aaron Poochigian takes on the role of American flâneur for the twenty-first century, drifting through the frenetic metropolis at a dreamer's planetary pace. This collection is a celebration of exuberant melancholy, or melancholy exuberance, slick lyric cum urbane pastoral."
—A. E. Stallings

"Like the shuttered diner that used to serve 'Americana-for-the-budget-patron,' Manhattanite gives us the Manhattan of speed chess players in the park, tipsy tipplers tipping off the rooftops, the night sky bright with city light, tenants, tenements and supers. Aaron Poochigian is the poet in New York seeking a holy aura in the song of gunshots and spiral sirens, picking like a grizzled pigeon through stray newspapers, bottles, bags, and candy wrappers for a scrap of religion. Each poem is a tower growing out of our human filth and scraping the sky with sky-lines, and together they build a city of words. Put New York in your pocket. It's inside this book."
—Tony Barnstone

"Reading Aaron Poochigian's Manhattanite is a dynamic, kinetic experience. These poems travel at a fast clip, pulling you along through cityscapes, wastelands, and other vistas. Some of the poems tunnel downward, plumbing depths of mood and memory. Whichever way they move, Poochigian's poems perform with such panache and brio that it's hard to know whether to laugh or cry. I'd say do both
and keep reading. But be warned: this isn't a feel-good book. It's a fearless book."
—Rachel Hadas

"Thoreau once boasted that he had traveled widely in Concord; Aaron Poochigian's title indicates that he has traveled widely elsewhere
in the one borough worth experiencing, through western deserts, aboard 'an ultra-modern train/ lisping through French or German woods,' and in a Paris of naked bulbs and seedy cabarets. In all of these settings, he deftly choreographs his cast of nameless characters. The concluding lines of 'Song: Go and Do It' (channeling both John Donne and The Intruders) claim, 'I'll still swear/ we could be happy anywhere.' One sure location of that 'anywhere' exists between the covers of Manhattanite."
—R. S. Gwynn

“I wanted to send you a quick note and let you know how effective I found the VETS maps to be in my division. On the Powerhouse fire on the Angeles National Forest there were many sections of line that were very steep and nearly impossible to grid with crews. One section in my division had been gone over multiple times by a hotshot crew and they thought they had everything lined or hand felt. Then a map that we received at morning briefing gave a location of “spot outside the line, no heat.” We found it a little funny and doubted that the map could be that accurate. The crew sent a squad out on a seek and destroy mission. There indeed was a small piece of black found in an area under some brush that they would not have sent any firefighters into unless necessary. Everyone on the division realized how useful the resource was. I am very impressed that VETS is capable of this level of accuracy. I feel that in the future this may prevent us from sending people into dangerous terrain to simply patrol or grid for spots showing no smoke, as well as many other efficient uses.”

Home » Wiki » Soft start or VFD for high starting torque loads

Soft start or VFD for high starting torque loads

There are a number of 'soft start' options suitable for high starting torque loads; star-delta, RVAT, and solid state starter (not the same thing as variable frequency drive - VFD). These are usually not recommended for ordinary centrifugal pumps, which don't have very high starting torque, but might be recommended for a vertical turbine with a long shaft.

Soft starting is also helpful when you have an emergency backup generator. Sometimes, the torque (and thus current) limiting from one of these can make the difference between a larger sized generator set and a smaller one, and the soft start equipment pays for itself. This is the kind of thing that an electrical engineer, cognizant of the mechanical factors, needs to analyze, in order to help the mechanical engineer determine the best configuration.

The number of starts & time between starts too should be considered when selecting starters. That's yet another issue. Larger motors may have limits on how many full-speed starts can be performed in a particular time frame. There are several ways to deal with this. One is to have a PLC refuse to start if the number of starts in the time frame has been exceeded. Using a soft start or a VFD can extend the number allotted. On very large motors, temperature sensors can be embedded in the windings, and you can simply refuse start if the winding temperature is too high.

This is usually somewhat independent of the mechanical characteristics, but high starting torque will decrease the number of starts or increase the time frame; i.e. it will change the heating curve. Again, you have to know the mechanical characteristics to know exactly what the rule is (or use temperature sensors, and then you need a rule).

Normally, this doesn't apply to motors smaller than 100 kW, in fact, it's not always good to choose a soft starter over a VFD.

15 Times Hip-Hop Stood Up to Fight Homophobia

The movement for change is growing.

By Claire Downs

It took a real long time, but the hip-hop community is standing up and becoming a real vocal force for the LGBT community. The genre has long been criticized for lyrics with slurs and harsh public statements discriminating against gay people for decades. Today, there’s a growing movement of rappers who have not only spoken out in favor of equal rights for same sex couples, but they have even denounced previous homophobic lyrics in the past. Some have also apologized for their own ignorance on the issue. The problems we face as a national on the topic are still a long way from being corrected, but we must acknowledge the hip-hop stars who’ve gotten on board to fight the good fight.

  • 1 Vic Mensa
    On the heels of the tragedy in Orlando Vic Mensa released the socially aware song called “Free Love” which featured artists from the LGBT community. He confessed he could no longer stay silent in the fight for equal rights.

  • 2 Frank Ocean
    Following the events in Orlando, the “Thinkin’ Bout You” singer was inspired to write a chilling Tumblr post based on his personal experience in the Gay community. “Many hate us and wish we didn’t exist,” Frank Ocean writes. “Many are annoyed by our wanting to be married like everyone else or use the correct restroom like everyone else. Many don’t see anything wrong with passing down the same old values that send thousands of kids into suicidal depression each year. So we say pride and we express love for who and what we are. Because who else will in earnest?”

  • 3 A$AP Rocky
    A$AP Rocky is proud defender of the LGBTQ community. The Harlem rapper addressed the ignorance of homophobia in hip hop in a 2013 feature story with Interview Magazine, saying, “One big issue in hip-hop is the gay thing. It’s 2013, and it’s a shame that, to this day, that topic still gets people all excited. It’s crazy. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip-hop, because it makes it seem like everybody in hip-hop is small-minded or stupid—and that’s not the case.”

  • 4 Jay Z
    Getty Images
    During the 2012 election, Hova appeared on CNN to promote his Made in America music festival. During the interview, Jay was asked his opinion on gay marriage after Obama had publicly supported it. “I’ve always thought of it as something that was still holding the country back. What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love.”

  • 5 Kanye West
    Getty Images
    During a MTV interview back in 2007, Yeezy took on rappers who use the f-word and urged them to stop perpetuating homophobia in their music. He described a moment when his cousin changed his outlook on the LGBTQ community.

  • 6 Kendrick Lamar
    Compton’s finest promoted gay rights during a 2012 interview with DJ Drama, “I don’t give a f—” what people want to do. You got your own beliefs and your own morals. I can’t help the way you was born if you was gay. And I can’t change that, so do what you gotta do to be happy.”

  • 7 Macklemore
    One of the most famous instances of LGBTQ support from the hip hop community is Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ tear-jerker, “Same Love.” The lyrics directly address the offensive slurs we hear all too often in the music. “If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me/ Have you read the YouTube comments lately?/‘Man, that’s gay’ gets dropped on the daily/ Call each other f*****s behind the keys of a message board/ A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it.”

  • 8 Nicki Minaj
    Getty Images
    Back in 2010, several suicides by young LGBTQ teens had reached national attention. In an interview with MTV News, Nicki reached out to her gay fans, saying “I would encourage my gay fans to be fighters and to be brave. People face difficulties, no matter who you are. I faced difficulties with a lot of things. I face opposition every day, but I didn’t kill myself and now, thank God, I’m here. So I want my life to be a testimony to my fans and my gay fans.”

    After catching heat for anti-gay views early in his career, Common changed his ways for the better. He confronted homophobia on his 2002 song “Between Me, You & Liberation,” which describes the struggle of a good friend who came out to him. “His parents found out and hated him for it/ How could I judge him? Had to accept him if I truly loved him/ No longer he said had he hated himself/ Through sexuality he liberated himself between me and you.”

Bald and Boo’d Up: What’s O’S**t Doing Since He Moved On From Black Ink?

But wait, did he ever actually leave in the first place?

O’S**t made the painful decision to take his exit when he announced his plans to leave the shop in this Black Ink Crew highlight, but his Instagram tells a different story. S**t has been falling off the wagon a lot lately and instead of falling back into the same cycle of drugs and booze, O’S**t decided it was time to move out of the busy Harlem life to a place a little more calm so he can get himself together. Not only did his goodbye bring Sky to tears, but it made Cease choke up a little too.

Giuriceo set to end 19-month hiatus

Published: Fri, July 11, 2014 @ 12:08 a.m.

By Greg Gulas

It’s been a little over 19 months since Campbell’s Jake Giuriceo last stepped into the ring, opting to take a step back from the sport after suffering a torn retina during his last fight against Peter Oluoch on Dec. 1, 2012.

He never officially retired so when he steps back onto the canvas tonight against Travis Hartman during “Rivers Rumble IV” at Pittsburgh’s Rivers Casino Amphitheater, he’ll take the first few seconds to savor the moment with the hopes of resurrecting a once promising career.

When the bell rings, however, his plan for the next six rounds, or less, is to subject Hartman to plenty of aggressive, non-stop punching.

“I’m as ready as I could possibly be and just thankful that the Lord has given me another opportunity to get back into the ring. I was happy when I got clearance from the doctor in May after suffering that torn retina and since that time, it’s just been non-stop training,” Giuriceo said.

“I’ve had a lot of time to think and train and now feel as though I am a better fighter after taking some time off. It has also been a lot of fun reuniting with my trainer, Keith Burnside, so we’re ready to get going.”

The Giuriceo-Hartman fight is the undercard of the night’s main event, which features current world-ranked contender and former IBF world champion Paul “The Pittsburgh Kid” Spadafora as he takes on three-time world title challenger Hector Velazquez.

Hartman (12-19-1, 6 KOs), who once was 8-8-1, has a deceiving record despite the fact that he is just 3-11 in his last 14 fights, seven of which have resulted in early dismissal by either KO or TKO.

“Keith and I have watched plenty of film on Travis and agree that he is a boxer who can take a shot. He’s been there, done that and has fought quite a few excellent opponents,” Giuriceo said. “He’s a taller fighter who likes to switch it up, going from orthodox to southpaw. There are some fighters able to do that and others who cannot but personally, I like when a fighter switches it up because it’s easier for me to land my right.”

Giuriceo (16-2-1, 3 KOs) said Hartman has a quick side step that he must look out for as well.

“Jake needs to be inside on Travis, going after the body and punishing him. At 31 years old he’s a durable boxer; someone who does not back up and will go toe-to-toe with you,” Burnside said.

At 5-10 Ω, Hartman has nearly five inches on Giuriceo.

That shouldn’t be a problem for Giuriceo according to Burnside.

“Jake has been working hard and sparring with taller boxers since getting the green light from his doctor. To fight at 147 pounds will also be an advantage because he’s definitely much stronger when entering the ring at that weight,” Burnside added. “In order for Jake to have a successful ring return he must go after Travis all six rounds. He must go to the body, back to the head and use his angle shots. This is a good test for us and while we’ve prepared for a six-round fight, we also realize we have to go after him at the outset with the hopes of ending the fight early.”

Giuriceo’s sparring partners might be the best endorsement as to the kind of shape he will be in come tonight.

“Three of our sparring partners didn’t want to go the full six rounds with Jake so that tells me he is fit and ready to go. Fighting at 147 pounds is also a good move because he didn’t have to kill himself and shed any unnecessary weight,” Burnside said.

“We went back to the way he originally trained and while Travis is a boxer who likes to use his jab, we’re prepared and will be able to adjust to anything he throws at us.”

The six-bout Rivers Casino card is in association with eight-time world champion Roy Jones Jr. and TNT Promotions.

Giuriceo’s manager, Joe Corvino, who was able to secure a six-month contract with TNT Promotions, hopes to position his fighter for a nice payday down the road.

“He’s just chomping at the bit to get started,” Corvino said.

The Giuriceo-Hartman co-main event should take place between 9 and 10 p.m.

Cremeans, YSU teammates hooked on fishing

Published: Wed, March 5, 2014 @ 12:05 a.m.

By Greg Gulas

There are many non-traditional students enrolled at Youngtown State University.

None, however, have as much on their plates while embracing their situation with a child’s enthusiasm like Chuck Cremeans, president of the YSU’s Bass Club.

A native of Newton Falls and bass fishing enthusiast since when he can remember, the 34-year-old Boardman resident will now spend the next 10 weeks getting his club team ready for the FLW College Fishing National Championship, which will be held Thursday-Saturday at Lake Keowee in Walhalla, S.C., and televised on NBC’s Sports Channel.

Cremeans’ team was one of 39 colleges (and one of just two from Ohio to qualify) that qualified for this year’s tournament, punching their ticket by placing seventh overall at the Chesapeake Bay Invitational.

“We fished Chesapeake Bay and it really was a slow bite. This tournament was the biggest tournament that I had ever fished and we needed to finish in the top-10 the first day in order to make the cut,” Cremeans said. “When you have that kind of pressure and you study a body of water and read maps, you feel like you should be able to just walk in there and catch a ton of fish. That just wasn’t the case for us, in fact, it was quite the opposite.

“The fish were shut off and it was a grind to catch any fish. It was my partner, Zach Alcorn that caught the fish on that first day which elevated us to eighth-place. On the second day I was able to put one small fish in the boat, which gave us a seventh-place finish and helped qualify our team for the championship.”

Until enrolling at YSU, Cremeans worked odd jobs since high school but wanted to change his career path and now hopes to become a special education teacher.

Carrie Anderson, assistant director of student activities, oversees all registered student organizations and clubs. She recalls her first meeting with Cremeans and his desire to start a bass fishing club.

“Chuck came into our office, highly motivated with the hopes of starting a bass fishing club organization. While he did not know all details in regards to starting an organization, he had a clear vision of what tournaments he wanted to enter as well as what leagues with which to immediately register in order to compete,” Anderson said. “A non-traditional student with plenty of enthusiasm and other responsibilities on his plate, he found the time to recruit other members with a similar interest who also shared his passion for competitive fishing. He found a campus advisor, filed all necessary governing documents and the rest as they say was history. His tenacity paid off immediately as they placed in their very first competition and have since advanced to the national championship. He truly is one of our student organization success stories.”

It was while watching the pros on television that intrigued Cremeans enough that he would go outside and cast into a bucket in his back yard; a work-out which over the years prepared him for local competitions.

While attending YSU he wanted to branch out and travel more, hoping to experience new bodies of water in which to fish.

When he found out that both Kent State University and the University of Akron had a college fishing club, he left no stone unturned in order to start the club sport at YSU.

“After Carrie, I got in touch with Joe Conroy, who oversees all club sports. That’s when we put the final touches on the club,” Cremeans said. “While there I met Zach Alcorn and that is how our team began to take shape.”

Their first tournament at Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia yielded a seventh-place finish, following that up with a runner-up finish at the Potomac River Tourney just outside Washington, D.C. They also finished 15th at New York’s Lake Champlain Tournament.

“It’s been a great run thus far and we are preparing diligently for this upcoming national competition,” Cremeans noted. “I have looked forward to and dreamed of this moment for many years. Now that it is a little over two months away, we still have a lot or work and research to do in order to be fully prepared.”

In addition to Cremeans and Alcorn (vice-president), other members of the club include Scott Stoner (treasurer) and Stan Miketa.

"Simple and effective health interventions exist to prevent millions of needless deaths of women and children in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. But to address this, it's critical that we scale up the delivery of innovative tools and services to communities facing the greatest need."

Chris Elias, M.D., president, Global Development Program, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Innovations for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health Nearly 4 million newborn infants die each year before reaching one month of age, accounting for the majority of all under-five deaths. The knowledge, tools and treatments already exist that would prevent and treat the major killers of mothers, newborns, and children under five.

United Nations Web TV
Around the world, hundreds of thousands of women die every year due to pregnancy related causes. A new human rights study suggests that discrimination against women plays a significant role in this chronic global problem.

WHO Child Growth Charts

Innovations save lives of mothers and children

Health care innovations, if brought to scale immediately in low-resource countries, have potential to save the lives of some 1.2 million mothers and children in 2015.

Identified by international experts from hundreds of candidates, these innovations are ready to be deployed where they are needed most by the end of 2015. According to a new publication, Breakthrough innovations that can save women and children now, released this week by PATH, an international nonprofit organization that transforms global health through innovation.

Right now the annual global death toll of mothers and children under 5 is 6.9 million. Between 2016-2020, these innovations have the potential to save the lives of nearly 7.5 million women and children.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who wrote the introductory message to the PATH report, says "the need for innovation has never been more paramount" and considers it an integral part of his Every Woman Every Child movement and its effort to save the lives of 16 million women and children by 2015.

The report was presented this week at a high level UN panel at the United Nations General Assembly. The panel included Jens Stoltenberg, Prime Minister of Norway Bill Gates, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Sheryl Sandberg, COO, Facebook; Judith Rodin, President, Rockefeller Foundation. The innovations are proven and inexpensive, and when available, will save lives of the poorest women and children in some of the poorest countries of the world. These areas account for more than 95 percent of maternal, newborn and young child deaths globally.

Tore Godal, M.D., Ph.D., special advisor to the Prime Minister of Norway and a leader behind the push for innovation puts it another way. "If we are going to make further progress on reducing death and illness of poor women, their newborns and children, we will need to ensure access to these innovations in hard to reach pockets of very poor, marginalized populations."

50 percent of maternal deaths are attributed to:

postpartum hemorrhage — severe bleeding after childbirth

pre-eclampsia/eclampsia — detected during pregnancy through elevated blood pressure, can lead to deadly seizures and organ failure.

Inadequate spacing of a woman's pregnancies is another contributing factor to maternal deaths globally.

Among children under 5, pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria are among the leading causes of death.

44 percent of child deaths occur among newborns who succumb to premature birth-related complications, neonatal infection, and respiratory disorders such as pneumonia.

This focus on innovation is led by PATH, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Government of Norway, the United States Agency for International Development, the United Kingdom's Department for International Development, UNICEF, Grand Challenges Canada and the United Nations Foundation.

"Innovation is at the heart of global health progress," says Steve Davis, president and CEO of PATH. "But even the most effective tool that's developed cannot save lives unless it is available at the right time and in the right place. Now is a critical time for the global community to band together to deliver and implement today's most promising innovations to increase global health equity."

Ongoing efforts involve both making better use of commodities, equipment and health workers already in place, as well as find ways to adapt these innovations where needed.

Magnesium sulfate is the most effective treatment to stop severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia —pregnancy-related conditions that are the second-leading cause of maternal death. The current World Health Organization (WHO) treatment regimen is extremely complex, making it difficult for health care providers in low-resource settings to provide the medicine correctly. Jhpiego, PATH, Merck for Mothers and others working in collaboration with WHO are developing a simplified dosing regimen that is easier to learn and use in any setting.

Low-Cost Antiseptic. Chlorhexidine is a low-cost antiseptic that prevents infections that can enter an infant's body through newly cut umbilical cords. These infections cause some 12 percent newborn deaths each year. The Chlorhexidine Working Group, an international consortium led by PATH, is taking steps to improve access by improving supply lines for this medicine, which has the proven potential to save hundreds of thousands of newborn lives.

Rotovac is a new vaccine to prevent rotavirus related diarrhea, which is common in developing countries. The vaccine, delivered with ORS and zinc, could virtually eliminate diarrhea deaths. Bharat Biotech and the India Department of Biotechnology are still testing the vaccine. Once licensed in India, it can be produced at less than $1 a dose and made available by the end of 2015.

The Backpack-PLUS delivers essential commodities that community health workers need to do their jobs at the "last mile" of delivery. The toolkit includes medicines such as zinc, ORS, antibiotics and anti-malarial drugs. Moreover, it can be instrumental in a country's planning, training and extension of its supply chain. It was developed in a partnership between UNICEF, Save the Children, the MDG Health Alliance, frog design and others.

Helping Babies Breathe, an initiative of the American Academy of Pediatrics and others, is working to train one million birth attendants to ensure every baby's first breath, no matter where they are born. The program, which reduced early newborn mortality by as much as 47 percent in Tanzania, uses innovative teaching tools—including NeoNatalie, a newborn simulator, created by Laerdal, a Norwegian foundation. This device teaches health workers to safely deliver babies in any setting with simple supplies.

Bubble CPAP, a bubble continuous positive airway device, saves lives of babies with severe respiratory illness, including pneumonia, by forcing oxygen into babies' lungs. An undergraduate student at Rice University developed a $400 version of the bubble CPAP, using an aquarium pump and a water bottle. This can be used in place of the $6,000 CPAP that is far too expensive for low-income regions. The low-cost version was tested in Malawi, where it dramatically improved newborn survival.

Phone Oximeter, a low-cost, mobile phone-based monitoring device that measures blood oxygen levels can help front-line health workers diagnose and manage pre-eclampsia and pneumonia. The University of British Columbia and LionsGate Technologies developed the potentially lifesaving device.

Sayana Press is an inexpensive contraceptive packaged in a prefilled, single dose injection system called Uniject. The device can be used by less skilled health workers after minimal training and is effective for three months. This easily used contraceptive gives women more choice and enables healthier spacing between children. If a woman gets pregnant too soon after delivery, it puts the pregnancy and ultimately both the newborn and the mother at risk.

"If we can get these low-cost innovations to people who need them the most, we have the potential to save millions of lives," says Kathy Calvin, President & CEO at the United Nations Foundation. Innovation supporters estimate that $1 billion will be needed to implement these and other innovations. Money is available through the more than $45 billion in financial commitments to support the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for reducing childhood deaths by two-thirds (MDG 4) and maternal deaths by three quarters (MDG 5) by 2015.

"Innovation is an ongoing process," notes Amie Batson, chief strategy officer at PATH. "It starts with understanding the needs and barriers of the affected communities and often requires years of research and development before it is ready for introduction. These 10 innovations will be ready before the end of 2015, but there are some amazing innovations in the pipeline that show great promise beyond as well."

Despite the barriers, significant progress is being made and major partners are optimistic.

"The existing pipeline of innovations has potential game changers that could bring an end to preventable child and maternal deaths," says Rajiv Shah, M.D., Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development. "Accelerating innovation makes this ambitious target possible."
