Parks and streets — value you can view
Ask folks why they live where they do, and few are likely to pipe up: "Efficient municipal services!"
But it matters in some of the everyday comforts that affect your quality of life: The streets you drive. The parks your kids enjoy.
Give a city all the money in the world, and you would never hit a pothole; your child would never frolic in a rundown playground. But in the real world, cities have to provide services with limited money and manpower. They typically have to make do with what they have.
So how good a job does your city do?
The Kansas City Star's findings may shock you.
Dollar for dollar, Kansas City put up high scores in The Star's computer analysis of government efficiency for tending to — believe it or not — thousands of miles of heavily traveled streets.
Overall, with some exceptions, cities whose residents were most satisfied with their streets and parks were not necessarily the most efficient.
That doesn't mean those residents are wrong. It just means their cities may not be as thrifty as others.
The Star's data analysis, while not perfect, can help governments make better decisions.
City departments that scored well might be trusted to do even better if given your tax dollars to do more. Those faring poorly could boost their rating by surfacing additional street miles on the same budget, or adding park features that attract more visitors.
Bottom line: People may not talk much about "efficient municipal services," but in today's political climate they're more important than ever.
"Being efficient can give governments more credibility," said James Fountain, formerly of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
With streets and parks, at least, The Star found several cities that deserve more credibility.
Who's best?
Five cities tied for top street services:Kansas City, Leavenworth, Lee's Summit, Prairie Village and Shawnee
Three cities tied for top parks services:Belton, Overland Park and Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kan.

Emerging Brand Insights
Expert Column
Are your Brand's Values Being Conveyed to your Guests?
By Dustin Myers, Foodable Industry Expert
Picture yourself walking down the street and seeing a person walking towards you. When you look at their clothes, demeanor, age, hairstyle, and posture– you begin forming your perceptions about that person. Are they friendly? Do they share similar interests with you? Are they a threat? What kind of work do they do? All of these thoughts begin subconsciously every time we encounter a new person. You can usually tell a lot about what a person values just by their appearance.
Though we're taught not to judge people on their appearance, we still do. And we judge brands the same way.
Your brand's appearance should accurately reflect your brand.

Ben Marcus achieved the startling visions of his first story collection, "The Age of Wire and String," and the novels "Notable American Women" and "The Flame Alphabet" largely by placing the reader in strange and unfamiliar worlds that turned out to be our world after all. The stories of his new collection, "Leaving the Sea," still contain peculiar linguistic and perceptual tics, but he has added to his arsenal narratives that are less relentlessly unfamiliar, less rigorously dis-enchanted, populated by characters full of longing and visible regret, though for what is not always clear. For fans of the old style, like me, there are still plenty of messed-up points of view, and we can be reassured that while most of the work in this collection begins on familiar ground, it happily disintegrates into confusion and dread. In the end Marcus presents a deeper range of identification for the reader, more emotional complexity, but still plenty of the chair-gripping alienation that marked his previous books.
The first story, "What Have You Done?," portrays a man in a permanent state of flinch who goes to a family reunion in Cleveland but cannot bring himself to mention that he has a wife and child elsewhere, in his other life. Although the reason for his refusal is never revealed, clearly it has to do with some dark unnameable time in his past, the same dark unnameable that is never far from any of these narratives. The final story, "The Moors," details a day in the life of a man reduced to infantilism, the origin of which is mysterious and maybe remains mysterious even after we find him returning home that evening to crawl into bed with his comatose wife.
Between the first and the last is a world of unspoken rules, eerie calm and white noise, "as though a sack of something, something capable of feeling great pain . . . had plunged down outside, landing badly with what sounded like a sharp moan of grief." If this book came with a soundtrack, that would probably be it.
What are the unspoken rules of Marcus's world? For starters I would offer the following: 1) Things are always pretty bad; 2) Women are always superior to men; 3) Fathers never cease to be scary; 4) Practically the only food anyone eats is potatoes, possibly because while they're nourishing, potatoes aren't much fun; 5) One's choice is either to flee and hope to find shelter, or to stay put and just hope.
The result is exhilarating, a treatment of both the world and the self as hostile strangers, where a man can become "an allergy to himself," and where language is both powerful and poisonous (a favorite theme, as in "The Flame Alphabet," where children's speech has the power to kill). But here the struggle to express oneself is also at times hilarious, as in the ironically titled "I Can Say Many Nice Things," about a man hired to teach creative writing on a cruise ship. At the first meeting, his students provide "their names, along with some other data he'd requested . . . with quiet hostility, as if they were corpses who had been fed some rejuvenating pulp that would allow them to release a few more sentences before dying again." Ah, the literary life. On the other hand, and not so amusingly, the title story is mostly a single sentence, one that begins with, "It was before I discovered I could survive on potatoes and salted water, before my wife started going for long walks into the thicket . . ." and leads us straight to oblivion.
How are these effects achieved? Well, through brilliance, but also through the Three D's of much contemporary fiction: Defamiliarization, Dystopia and Dysfunction, all of which pull us into the narration even as they reject our own lives. None of this is so new; the first, the defamiliarization of language, has its roots in the Anglo-Saxon metaphorical habit of kenning, in which (for instance) the sea becomes "the whale road." But instead of this formerly benign and pleasure-enhancing twist of words, Marcus gives us: "Shadows were blind spots that everyone shared. Graves were called homes, and apologies known as writing were carved in their surface. Rotten bags were called people." Adulthood is, not surprisingly, "an exhaustion farm."
Dystopia, a world where nothing works right and nobody's happy, mostly stays in the background in Marcus's newer work, but it never misses the party. The stories start in somewhat familiar zones: the Cleveland airport, a European clinic, an office, watching television with one's mother. ("I don't think my mother will die today. It's late at night already. She'd have to die in the next 45 minutes, which doesn't seem likely.") As for the last of the triad, Dysfunction, it's practically a given when two people who are related wind up in the same room. Should we add Discomfort and Distortion to the list? Why not?
In this harsh environment, just living becomes "having a body that was partly cold and numb, a part of my person being now just furniture I carried with me," which makes a sort of sense. As images of the self are multiplied exponentially these days by social media, blogs, even cellphone snapshots, surely, in such company, the actual self may come to seem outweighed by all the other versions of it out there. Instead of multiplying our force, so many simulacra can only wind up stripping power from the original. And of course, when the original self expires, our images live on, evidently far more at home on earth than we can ever be. As the narrator in "The Father Costume" says, "I was asked to spray the south-facing wall of our house with writing, a script to poison travelers if they ever became stranded at our house, to prevent them from living the way we had, to keep ourselves from becoming repeated."
Story collections often seem to me like those overlapping photographs that, taken together, form a single panoramic landscape. The photos in this collection might have been taken from the Mars Rover; the landscape they piece together is so strange and bleak that the book is a wonder and a cautionary tale all in one.
But if "Leaving the Sea" represents a prophecy of a nearly barren and self-alienated future, or at least the future in store for certain metro men and superior women, then why shouldn't we at least enjoy reading about it before it actually comes to pass? In short, if you have any friends still addled by their recent blast of holiday cheer or momentarily heartened by some transient piece of good fortune, this book would be the perfect antidote if it weren't so thoroughly and perversely entertaining.

Wyoming Legislature Defeats "Katie's Law" Legislation
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The Wyoming Senate has shot down a bill that would have required DNA testing of people charged with a felony.
Bill sponsor Cheyenne Republican Sen. Leslie Nutting originally had proposed DNA testing for people upon their arrest on a felony charge. The bill was amended in committee to specify that the testing would be allowed only once the person was charged in court.
Republican Sen. Drew Perkins of Casper spoke against the bill on Monday. He noted that people have a constitutional right against unreasonable government searches and seizures.
The bill is called "Katie's Law" — named in memory of Kathryn Sepich, a New Mexico State University student murdered in 2003 and whose killer was identified with DNA evidence after he was convicted of another crime.

Kelly Cotter Conquered Cancer and Continues Fighting

Madison, Wisconsin - Most of us marvel at those who instinctually know how to make lemonade out of the lemons that life throws our way. Few of us, however, have the wherewithal to turn one of the sourest lemons imaginable – childhood cancer – into something as sweet as a beautiful lemon chiffon torte.
Consider the amazing story of Kelly Cotter, a woman whose life's passion is – and probably always will be – fighting childhood cancer in every form.
Slideshow: Kelly Cotter's Fight Against Cancer
Twenty-five years ago, Kelly was an energetic, athletic 11-year-old sixth grader from Madison. Suddenly, an onset of swollen lymph nodes and exhaustion had her mother, Maury, thinking that mononucleosis might be the culprit. The truth, however, was something that turned the Cotters' world upside down: cancer, or more specifically acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
As scary as the news was, Kelly's chances of survival took a sharp drop (from about 75 percent to 25 percent) once her leukemia quickly relapsed late that summer, just four months after her original diagnosis.
"We are just going to have fight harder this time," said Kelly's dad, John, as the family left the old UW Children's Hospital after learning the unsettling news.
Her best chance for survival was to undergo an invasive procedure known as a bone marrow transplant, a form of treatment that could only work if she had a matching sibling. It was only a one-in-four chance, but Kelly's brother, Adam (then 8, now 33), was a perfect match and agreed to be his sister's bone marrow donor. Doctors would need to extract marrow more than 200 times from the back of Adam's hipbones.
On October 26, 1988, the morning of the transplant, Adam - holding his favorite teddy bear while still in his pajamas - was approached by his mother.
"Adam, are you scared?" said Maury.
"No, Mom," her son replied. "This is the best day of my life."
In time, Kelly's bone marrow transplant was deemed successful. Now 37, Kelly lives in Libertyville, Illinois, with her husband of 10 years, Bill Pappano, a research scientist, and their sons Enzo, 4 and Teo, 2.
Kelly's unassuming, modest manner belies her undying commitment to helping others. No one could have predicted how this magnanimity would blossom over the next 25 years, but consider the first clue: a 7th-grade assignment asking Kelly to put on paper some thoughts about her cancer experience. "One day," Kelly wrote at age 11, "I would like to raise millions, or I guess I'd settle for thousands, of dollars for childhood cancer research."
Little did she know – or did she? -- how prophetic this wish would become. Even before her hair grew back following treatment, Kelly began to execute her plan, while still in the hospital. Step one was the "Stomp-a-thon" – a school dance she organized that raised $20,000 over two years for leukemia research. Kathryn Murphy, a fellow childhood leukemia survivor currently employed by American Family Children's Hospital as a patient-family liaison, recalls meeting Kelly at the Stomp-a-thon.
"I was only 8 at the time, but I remember feeling so inspired by what Kelly did that I organized my own fundraising carnival that we put on for 10 years," Kathryn said.
By 1993 at age 16, Kelly co-founded Kids With Courage, an incredibly impactful reunion of childhood cancer survivors and their families that takes place every five years. The event attracts nearly 1,000 people, including supermodel Cindy Crawford, whose little brother, Jeffrey, was treated at the UW before dying of leukemia at age 3 in 1975.
A Kids With Courage book, co-authored by Kelly and Maury, became a treasured resource for kids and families at children's hospitals around the nation.
While a University of Wisconsin-Madison undergraduate, Kelly developed one of the very first information resource websites designed exclusively for childhood cancer patients and their families. Called Outlook, the site was prominently recognized by the National Cancer Institute and supported financially by several UW Health entities.
By 2003, following graduation from the UW Law School, Kelly moved to Washington, D.C., to lobby for more pediatric cancer research funds as Director of Legislative Affairs for CureSearch for Children's Cancer. There, she helped secure $8 million in federal childhood cancer research support and successfully pushed for another $150 million in funding authorization through unanimous Congressional passage of the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2006.
By 2008, Kelly and her husband Bill moved back to the Midwest, where she currently works as a grant writer for the United Way of Lake County in suburban Chicago. There, she began to fulfill one of her greatest personal aspirations – parenthood.
"I knew from the time of my transplant that infertility was a potential side effect," Kelly said. "So, when Bill and I decided to have a family, we began exploring adoption. With the help of an adoption agency in Chicago, we found both Enzo and Teo, and they have given me the most meaningful role of a lifetime – being a mom."
Paul Sondel, MD, PhD, head of pediatric hematology/oncology at UW Health's American Family Children's Hospital, says that giving back, whether as a mother or advocate for childhood cancer patients and research, is truly a lifetime commitment for Kelly.
"The instant connection Kelly makes with kids and other cancer survivors is so impactful," said Dr. Sondel, who was Kelly's pediatric oncologist during the late 1980s and today serves with Kelly on the Stand Up to Cancer and St. Baldrick's Pediatric Cancer Dream Team, a nationwide research consortium involving the use of immunotherapy to treat childhood cancer.
Kelly's success in the fight against childhood cancer, Sondel says, may be explained not only by her personal story, but her personal style.
"Kelly has a very gentle, yet persistent way that can be very persuasive," Sondel said. "She is so gifted at attracting attention for this cause without making it about herself personally."
Reflecting on the 25th anniversary of her daughter's life-saving bone marrow transplant, Kelly's mom, Maury, glistens in appreciation of the life-cycle milestones that have occurred since Kelly was cured.
"I cherish them all – high school, college, law school, her success in Washington lobbying for pediatric cancer research, marriage, and now children," said Maury. "These would make any mom very proud, but I especially relish those who say that Kelly helps them get through the hardest of times. In her quiet way, Kelly's empathy and wisdom have made such a difference to so many who have faced so much."

Why Focus on WASH in Health Care Facilities?
The Ebola outbreak of 2014–2016 highlighted a two-fold danger of poor water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and infection prevention and control (IPC) in health care facilities (HCFs): an inability to prevent outbreaks, and the associated risk of contracting diseases in facilities themselves, known as health care-associated infections (HCAIs). The attention exposed glaring issues in the health system — a lack of skills, training and protocols for infection prevention; coordination challenges among "water" partners and entities; and a misperception that improving WASH infrastructure (such as building water points and bathrooms) alone improves WASH in HCFs.
It also catalyzed a desire to rapidly learn how best to improve these conditions.
As USAID's flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP), we are working to advocate for investments in WASH in HCFs, improve programmatic approaches, and contribute to global learning. This microsite includes a toolbox of resources as well as perspectives and an emerging approach from our experience integrating WASH in support of quality of care improvements that lead to improved health outcomes.
Despite a high associated risk for morbidity and mortality, WASH and environmental conditions in HCFs receive inadequate attention. And the lack of appropriate WASH facilities and practices within HCFs results in three primary consequences:
1. HCFs become unable to provide safe services (such as hygienic births and clean surgeries), especially to mothers, newborns and children.
2. Populations served by these facilities lack confidence in the institutions as clean, safe places to seek care.
3. Limited capacity to prevent, identify and contain disease outbreaks.
The establishment of clean and desirable HCFs is an essential component to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 3 — ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages — and SDG 6 — ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. National governments, donors and development partners in the WASH and health sectors can empower HCFs to make incremental WASH improvements and provide better quality of care for patients, especially mothers, newborns and children.

The Changing Focus of WASH in HCF Programming
Donors, governments and implementing organizations have traditionally pursued an infrastructure-centric approach to improve WASH in HCFs, including the construction or repair of water supply, sanitation and waste management facilities (such as incinerators). The reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health community has traditionally focused on improving quality of care by pursuing infection prevention practices at HCFs.
With the Ebola outbreak of 2014-2016, IPC needs resulted in a vibrant, focused interest in WASH in HCF. Subsequent analysis — including WHO's 2015 report identifying the poor WASH situation in HCFs globally and the high risk of HCAIs — has led to increased interest in the issues.
As a broader understanding of WASH in HCF has emerged, a more human-centered lens recognizes the critical role that facility management and behavior-centered programming play in achieving health outcomes. With lessons from past efforts informing the sub-sector, more comprehensive WASH approaches (including MCSP's Clean Clinic Approach and WHO's WASHFIT model) include:
• Establishing HCF WASH standards and routine monitoring systems.
• Building WASH technical and leadership capacity within the health system.
• Developing and implementing annual, incremental WASH improvement plans.
• Creating incentive and reward systems for performance, building on examples from USAID's predecessor Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program.
• Elevating "cleaners" to frontline health worker status.
The WASH and health sectors increasingly recognize the needs to marry investments in WASH Infrastructure, IPC, and functional management systems to improve HCF cleanliness and maintain high-quality care.

WASH and Quality of Care
Quality of care improvements center on providing standardized care and improving the interaction between providers and patients. These improvements can be organized along three axes: resources, staff and processes. The framework below, adapted from the WHO's Quality of Care framework and the USAID ASSIST Project, aligns WASH in HCF within the broader frame of quality improvement.
Past WASH interventions focused largely on the first two categories – resources (infrastructure) and staff (education and training) – while often neglecting the third improvement category: creating effective process-related interventions that improve WASH management, behaviors, and facility cleanliness. To improve the quality of IPC, MCSP has implemented the Standards-Based Management and Recognition approach in more than 100 HCFs in Program countries.
MCSP believes WASH and IPC in HCF improvements are an essential component of high-quality care. Appropriate processes and management systems are their cornerstone, and WASH in HCF discussions focus on planning, design, implementation and measurement.
WASH is not the main barrier to seeking care, but patients frequently report being dissatisfied.

Components of Preventing Infections at HCFs
Many governments, organizations and universities are working to develop useful program and monitoring tools for WASH, IPC and health practitioners to make HCFs safer. Following the publication of the WHO and UNICEF's report Water, sanitation and hygiene in health care facilities: Status in low- and middle-income countries and way forward, a global action plan was developed to advance WASH in HCF via four global task teams focused on advocacy, monitoring, research and facility improvements. WHO also has a technical unit focusing on IPC and a global IPC network with well-defined goals and objectives.
In parallel to the global working group's activities, implementing partners are experimenting with various pieces – such as cleaners, IPC, waste management, water supply, and sanitation – to improve WASH in HCF. As a global integrated health program, MCSP has the unique experience implementing WASH to improve maternal, newborn and child health outcomes, and linking with cross-cutting quality improvement and health systems strengthening themes. The icons below represent a list of WASH in HCF components.

Challenges & Recommendations for Implementation
While WASH programming has targeted child health extensively, why hasn't it better addressed maternal and newborn health? In particular, what integration challenges might prevent more systematic WASH improvements in primary health care settings?
This question sits at the forefront of MCSP's WASH program. We created this video to illustrate the critical challenges and offer solutions for improving the WASH sector's role in primary health care, especially for mothers and newborns. A related MCSP brief proposes actions to address WASH challenges in maternal and newborn health at the HCF level.

The Clean Clinic Approach
MCSP co-developed (with Save the Children) and tested its comprehensive Clean Clinic Approach. The approach seeks to ensure effective national coverage and empower local levels to improve existing WASH in HCF. (This video further explains the Clean Clinic implementation process.)
WASH in HCF tools found in WHO and UNICEF's WASHFit toolkit also aim to help HCFs analyze problems, make improvements, and monitor their progress. These tools are useful guides when developing comprehensive WASH in HCF standards and tracking HCF progress against established standards – and can be easily integrated into the Clean Clinic Approach implementation process.

MCSP Country Highlights
As USAID's flagship maternal and child health program, MCSP has become a central mechanism for delivering WASH-focused programming that supports stronger health services and better quality of care. The Program has had the opportunity to provide support to WASH in HCF efforts in Haiti, DR Congo, Mozambique, Guinea, Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria.
In Haiti, MCSP designed and piloted the Clean Clinic Approach, beginning as a 19-facility pilot in 2015 and expanding to 69 facilities in 2017. Working through the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP), the approach ensures that facilities meet MSPP WASH in HCF standards. In 2016, Hurricane Matthew tested the Haitian health system's capacity for response and recovery: in areas where the Clean Clinic Approach had trained personnel on WASH in HCF, health services rebounded more quickly and efficiently.
In DR Congo, MCSP worked with the MoH's Office of Hygiene and Public Safety to develop their own version of the Clean Clinic Approach (Centre de Sante Assaini). Within the first month, two supported health centers increased their cleanliness scores to 75% and 66% (from baselines of 31% and 33%, respectively).
In Mozambique, the Program is building the capacity and participation of co-management committees (CMCs) – groups composed of both HCF staff and community representatives. Through the CMCs, MCSP works to prioritize facility improvements, and develop and implement annual action plans. We are also working with two provincial governments to finalize a rapid assessment form, which will assess the WASH and cleanliness status of HCFs and inform annual action plans.
In 2017, MCSP partnered with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to undertake a multi-phase study in Nigeria investigating the behavioral barriers and motivators to practicing appropriate hygiene during the highest risk period for both newborn sepsis and puerperal sepsis in mothers (from the onset of labor through the first two days of life). The first phase of the study included a global literature review, scoping visit, and key informant interviews with global and national stakeholders. The second phase – an observational and qualitative study aiming to elucidate barriers, motivators and potential improvements to practicing appropriate hygiene behaviors during the highest risk period – will be available this fall.
This year, MCSP also partnered with WASH for Life to conduct a learning assessment of MCSP's WASH in HCF program activities in Haiti and Liberia. Using the findings, WASH for Life will make recommendations to improve program implementation. The assessment considered integration with other technical areas, and was guided by two questions:
1. How best can WASH in HCF programming strengthen health systems and improve quality at the point of health service delivery?
2. What are the common design components and implementation modalities required for an effective, comprehensive and integrated WASH in HCF program?
The Way Forward
WASH in HCF improvement programs have registered promising initial successes, but several sustainability challenges remain:
Government Ownership and Investment: For WASH in HCF improvements to continue and sustain, governments need to prioritize and own that WASH services and cleanliness are essential components of providing high-quality patient care and achieving national health targets. Because MoHs are responsible for health outcomes, they must assume ownership of WASH in HCF by: establishing WASH and cleanliness standards; investing in WASH improvements; integrating WASH standards and responsibilities into pre-service and in-service trainings; integrating WASH in routine facility monitoring systems; and linking health sector staff performance to fulfillment of WASH functions. These changes will require budget shifts to include WASH improvements at national and local levels. As owner of WASH in HCF, MoHs will need to convene coordination efforts with other relevant ministries.
Prioritize Staff Motivation: Staff motivation is a critical element to drive and sustain change, especially where resources are limited. That motivation can come in many forms. Validating all HCF staff members is vital to improving WASH in HCFs. In particular, staff who do not provide direct patient care (such as cleaners and guards) can be included in meetings, planning sessions, and budgeting. Under the Clean Clinic Approach, training, supervision and coaching serve as key motivators for staff, and local government engagement is critical to success.
Community Engagement and Accountability: As the Clean Clinic Approach demonstrates, WASH in HCF change can happen by creating competition and accountability; when HCF staff know they are being "graded," they perform better. Under the Clean Clinic Approach, this accountability mechanism is created through government inspections. However, what happens when governments do not perform this function or when the budget is insufficient? The community, as recipients of quality care, can also play a role. Inclusion of community members on HCF management teams can ensure community needs are represented, and serve as an accountability feedback loop between the community and the facility.
For countries and USAID missions considering WASH in HCF programming, MCSP has the proven technical experience and knowledge to support the development of national programs, pilot programs, and full-scale implementation of the Clean Clinic Approach. In 2018, MCSP expects to replicate its Clean Clinic Approach in Guatemala while also supporting several USAID priority countries with WASH in HCF needs.
To solicit support for development of WASH in HCF programming, countries must have a commitment at both the USAID mission and national MoH levels. Requests can be submitted to the MCSP AOR team.

A few weeks ago I tried was using a 74AC240 octal inverting buffer as the driver for an IRF510. There are a lot of these circuits out there (here, here, here, here are a few, but there are lots more). What I ended up building was pretty standard - one part of the inverter with the crystal to make the oscillator, then feeding that into four other inverters in parallel to increase the driving power, and putting that into an IRF510 (with a DC bias just below turn on). It worked... ok. Again was having trouble getting more than a watt, and the transistor got pretty hot.
Some of it may have been the construction technique (I don't usually build RF on breadboard), but I didn't have a lot of time that night, and wanted to see something on my scope :)
Today I thought I would try my hand at building the circuit for the ns-40. It is a Class E transmitter using a 2n7000 to drive the IRF510. The actual kit is retired. Its neat feature was that its inductors were part of the PCB (thus the 'None Simpler 40'). I've seen somewhere else where someone made this circuit using toroids, and I thought it would be a good morning project.
Here are all the parts
Not much there. I used T50-2 toroids, since that is what I have most of. Here is what I had two hours later (with my dummy load hanging off to the right):
And here is some output:
Pretty excited it worked the first try. However, it isn't being a proper class E transmitter. I was measuring 28.8Vpp while consuming 370mA from the 12v battery. I'm pretty excited about the 2w result (double what I was getting from an IRF510 before), but that looks to be <50% efficiency, and the IRF510 was definitely getting warm after a while. I'm not quite sure how to tune a Class E without being able to view the current waveform on the drain. Also, the gate voltage on the IRF510 (yellow below) isn't pretty, not sure what is up there (though I did just notice that in that screen shot it was putting out 3w!)
Now what I'd like to do is not drive this with a crystal but rather an Si5351 or the Raspi. I wanted to build it as is first (a) to get it working and (b) I was unsure what the drive requirements were. I tried simulating the circuit in LTSpice first, but getting crystals to behave in that program is difficult. Also, I tried driving the 74ac240 circuit with the Si5351 the other week and managed to smoke the chip...
One other experiment I did over the past few weeks was buying a cheap "Forty-9er" cw transmitter on EBay. It was pre-assembled and was suppose to put out 3W.
My plan was to convert it to be digital (per the QST article the other month). Was disappointed to find it only put out 1W, and even then if you held the key down too long the power output went down. Probably some dodgy parts or something in it. Oh well. First day I got it there was some CW contest that weekend - I could hear people, but didn't want to join in. Tried calling CQ a few days later, but no takers (couldn't even hear myself on a local WebSDR). Will probably shelve that for a bit.

There are a huge number of factors that affect the value of a home; some you can fix, others are more permanent. If you want your home to sell for the price you believe it commands, you need to take action to ensure everything in your power has been done to remedy any issues that are fixable.
With this in mind, let's take a look at four issues that usually bring down the value of your home and see if there is any way they can be remedied.
1. Physical issues reduce home value
Wear and tear in the home is one of the main considerations potential buyers take into account. While many people like a well lived-in home, they also understand that considerable signs of wear and tear increase the likelihood of repairs and replacements in the near future.
No one wants to buy a new house and then spend large amounts of money on repairs or replacements. Any noticeable damage is likely to come off the value of your home, but taking the time to repair problems before they escalate could prevent this.
2. Faulty appliances
Faulty appliances are another reason homes lose value when viewed. The appliances in the home you are selling don't have to be particularly modern for a house to hold its value; instead functionality and durability are required.
It is well worth getting appliance repairs specialists into your home to fix any appliances before anyone views the property. Spending a little time and money getting everything ready for buyer visits will save you a considerable amount of money in the future.
3. External factors
External factors are generally something homeowners don't have a lot of influence over. These can include visual or auditory nuisances such as train lines or telecommunications pylons that are in close proximity to your property.
In these situations, it's a good idea to make the best of what you have. Strategically grown trees and bushes and cleverly positioned fences can make a big difference and detract attention away from any eyesores.
4. Garden
Even if you don't use your garden very often, it's a good idea to have it in good condition when people come to view your home. Although a lot less time is spent in the garden compared to inside the house, potential buyers often place importance on good curb appeal.
You don't have to create a fantastic floral display that will dazzle buyers. Instead, keep the area well maintained with simple tricks, such as making sure the grass is cut, borders are tidy and any patio space is kept reasonably clean and clear of debris.

text: zikerob 1 Posted February 14, 2014 Hi again it's Zikerob! Today i sat and calculated the classes in the game (Just because :crazy: LOL). First i wanted to calculate all the weapon's ¨DPS¨ when i divided damage with hits per second, and with the results Crossbow was the strongest weapon , but when you can dual wield sword had the most ¨DPS¨. :good: Then i went to the actual classes. I started to calculate the strongest skill and did that with every class. Heres the calculations: Mana: Mana Cost Recharge: Waiting time in seconds Damage: Weapon damage multiplayer (+/- = More or less). BLADE DANCER: Mana: 12, Recharge: 7, Damage: 2x RANGER: Mana: 12, Recharge: 8, Damage: 2x- ROGUE: Mana: 12, Recharge: 6, Damage: 2x- WARLOC: Mana: 12, Recharge: 7, Damage: 3.5x+ MAGE: Mana: 12, Recharge: 7, Damage: 4x- DRUID: Mana: 13, Recharge: 7, Damage: 3x SHAMAN: Mana: 13, Recharge: 7, Damage: 3x- PRIEST: Mana: 14, Recharge: 6, Damage: 3.5x- NECROMANCER: Mana: 15, Recharge: 7, Damage: 3x- PALADIN: Mana: 13, Recharge: 7, Damage: 2x- DEATH KNIGHT: Mana: 11, Recharge: 7, Damage: 2x BARBARIAN: Mana: 12, Recharge: 7, Damage: 2x- So if you look at the strongest weapon and class skill: Blade dancer will have the most ¨DPS¨ and is the strongest melee class, because of his dual wielding weapons and strongest skills. Rogue comes after blade dancer because of his dual wielding. Death knight is third because of his strong skills. But we got ranged classes too: Ranger is of course the best just because he causes physical damage with his bow/crossbow. Mage is the strongest magical class in game. He causes 4 times damage, therefor he is the best. Warlock went to the third place of the magical classes. He does nearly as much damage as Mage, but not enough. Please Read: These classes are not the best classes, they are only the strongest ones. :diablo: I hope this helped, because i calculated every class and wasted so much time!

Latest News
Boyd making case for NFL playing time
Former Gamecock Cory Boyd still doesn't know how much he'll play this weekend for the Denver Broncos, but he does know what number he'll wear.
Boyd, a rookie out of South Carolina, has chosen to don No. 30, just like former Broncos great Terrell Davis.
"Thirty is an honor to wear," Boyd said. "I'm not saying I'm the next Terrell Davis, but I'll try to follow in his footsteps the best way possible. I'm going to wear his number in pride."
The Broncos have gone through a bevy of backs this season, with rookie Peyton Hillis becoming the latest to get hurt, tearing his right hamstring against Kansas City.
That leaves three healthy backs — Tatum Bell, P.J. Pope and Cory Boyd, who was promoted from the practice squad Tuesday. Previously injured Selvin Young also is in the mix.
None of them knows who will be starting Sunday at Carolina.
"We're all in there competing. It makes you work harder in practice," Bell said. "Whoever the guy is, the rest of the guys will be over there supporting him."
The Denver Post reported that Boyd got much of the action in practice Wednesday but mostly stood and watched the others Thursday.

Good afternoon beautiful people!
This week I thought I would let you know that I'm on Instagram & you can catch some of my photos from my holiday over there @seedsofhealth (http://instagram.com/seedsofhealth). One of the joys was picking wild blueberries!
I would also like to share 2 delicious recipes that I have enjoyed making this week.
Firstly, there is a delicious curry recipe followed by a simple and scrumptious chewy cookie recipe (I love chewy rather than crunchy!)
CAULIFLOWER, LENTIL AND COCONUT MILK CURRY (courtesy of Delicious Magazine)
150g red lentils
5 tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 large cauliflower, florets cut off and any large ones broken up
1 medium onion, finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium-hot red chilli, halved, seeded and chopped
1 tsp freshly ground coriander seeds
1 tsp freshly ground cumin seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric
400ml coconut milk
200g vine ripened tomatoes, skinned and chopped (I just chopped mine)
1 tbsp lime juice
Bunch fresh coriander, leaves roughly chopped
1. Put lentils into small pan with 450ml water, bring to boil, then simmer for 15-20mins until the lentils have become a thick puree. Cover and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, heat 3 tbsp of oil in large saucepan over medium heat, add half the cumin seeds and the cauliflower florets and cook, turning occasionally for 2-3 minutes until coloured here and there with golden brown spots. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate.
3. Add remaining oil and cumin seeds to a hot pan, then as soon as the seeds start to sizzle, add the onion. Lower the heat slightly and cook gently for 10mins, stirring now and then until soft and sweet but not browned. Add ginger, garlic and chilli and cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the ground coriander, ground cumin and turmeric. Cook for 1 min, then stir in the coconut milk, cauliflower and tomatoes and simmer for 10mins, stirring every now and then until the cauliflower is just tender.
4. Stir the lentil puree into the curry with lime/lemon juice and season to taste with salt. Leave to simmer for 2-3 mins more. Stir in coriander and turn off the heat.
Chewy Salted Caramel Cookies (The Shrinking Hubby.com)
1 cup macadamias
1 cup fresh dates
1 vanilla bean scrapped
1 pinch sea salt
Blend all ingredients in a blender then press in to cookies on a tray.
Cook in 180 degree oven for 20mins or until brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them as they will continue to cook outside the oven – this creates a delightful chewiness.
I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I have!
I also want to let you know that the morning activation sessions at Yorkey's Knob Beach on a Wednesday now start at 6AM! 15mins earlier. However, after trialling this time yesterday morning I did notice that we will still be missing the sunrise so if anyone is interested in starting at 5:45am please let me know & that way we can enjoy some sun gazing together! If you have never been before it's a fabulous community event to allow like minded individuals a chance to get into nature & enjoy some walking which provides benefits of Earthing &
I look forward to hearing from you

"Be a hunter of Happiness. Keep your eyes and Heart open and embrace every opportunity to hug your quarry." … Susanne
In this world there are ample opportunities to get bogged down in the craziness and polarity of so many opinions and beliefs. The media reminds us at regular intervals of the numerous dyed-in-the-wool mindsets … shenanigans … and outright close-mindedness of a large portion of the population and I … for one … find the escalating madness to be relatively discouraging.
It is at these times … as I peer out of my Internet window at a world seemingly gone mad … that Perky Polly invariably shows up at the office door bearing cupcakes … cold drinks and reminders that the sun is still shining … the Earth is still turning … and Good people are everywhere! I smile … knowing that she's right and I remember that how I look at the world … and whether or not I let Happiness grab me by the hand and drag me upwards is … as always … my choice.
Hafiz said: "Ever since Happiness heard your name it's been running through the streets trying to find you." I really like the idea that Happiness is hunting me down … but I've never been one to simply sit around and wait for the goodies to arrive. So … somewhere along the way … between my trip through Medical-Crisis Land and here … I've become a lot more proactive about this whole Happiness mind-set thing … no more simply waiting for Happiness to find me … no siree …every day I'm actively engaged in the business of hunting it down.
Ms Sunshine has acquired for all of us the most excellent magnifying glasses with built-in binoculars … so now there is virtually no chance that Happiness will slip by us unnoticed. The upshot of that is that we are all finally meeting on a regular basis. It is really awesome having Happiness as a friend and visitor. We never know where it is going to show up next … but we're ready … on the lookout … and armed with goodies to share. Of course Miss Perky reminds me … on a regular basis … that if we'd never put on our Safari hats and Sunshine Sue glasses … taken the initiative, Carpe Diem-ed and gone a-hunting we would still be siting in front of the computer waiting and wondering. "Thanks Polly … you're the best!"
Godspeed and Joyful Journeying Everyone

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 28, 2012) - Snipp Interactive Inc. ("Snipp"), an international provider of mobile marketing solutions listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX VENTURE:SPN), is pleased to announce its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. A copy of the complete third quarter unaudited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Snipp reported Q3 revenue of $141,459 compared with $94,118, a 50.3% increase over the year prior. The net loss in Q3 before other items was $606,051 compared with net income of $13,966 the year prior. The increase in revenue is the result of a growing sales channel resulting from new contracts from existing customers such as Meredith Corporation, and through new customers such as Arm & Hammer that are leveraging Snipp's new solutions such as Mobile Purchase Validation and Site Builder. The increase in net loss is mainly related to added investment in the Snipp Mobilize Me platform, one time employee costs and further refinement of the Snipp sales strategy. At the end of Q3, current assets were $1,388,563 and current liabilities $276,411.
"The trend we see in the mobile space is unquestionable and we will continue our march towards profitability in 2013.

Put together, we have a holistic mobile solution incorporating Response, Infrastructure and Validation, and are best positioned to help our clients engage and interact with their customers on a turnkey basis in the mobile arena," said Atul Sabharwal, Chief Executive Officer of Snipp. "The quality of the brands we work with and type of campaigns we have launched (and are scheduled to launch), is a testament to mobile's capability to disrupt industries such as couponing and rebate redemption while reinventing publishing and consumer product marketing."

Readers, back to reviewing again tonight. I've finally had a chance in the new kitchen to get back to baking. Well, sort of baking… it was more non baking, but a banoffee pie was the result of my non baking efforts, so I shouldn't moan.
We had the family over en mass today – flat project is almost complete, so we're finally happy to show the place to people!
Anyway, to the point! Cake Décor recently sent some samples to me of Choco Writers – their new cake decorating product. I hadn't heard of them before, but when I worked out what the concept was, I wondered why I hadn't used them sooner.
Choco writers are tubes of chocolate that you melt in a jug of boiling water for 2-3 minutes. You then snip the end off the tube and write with them – or create shapes with chocolate: whatever you want!
So far, I've only used the milk chocolate one – but I hope the others work as successfully as this one did. I had a slight disaster at the start – there must have been a small piece of chocolate still solid at the top of the nozzle. Nothing was happening so I squeezed hard to free it and covered my tiles in chocolate…. Decorative but not what I was hoping for. Lesson learn for next time though – squeeze downwards.
So what did I use this for? I made a banoffee pie for family coming over and wanted to go for a nice topping. I piped some swirls onto a baking sheet, left them to set at room temperature for around half an hour, then gently peeled them off the sheet and topped my cake with the chocolate swirls. It made it look professionally finished (and was incredibly easy to do).

I'd like to try these out with stencil sheets, to create cake toppers – but so far, I've really liked using them. I've always found it quite difficult to write with icing, but this would be an easy way to write a message to top a cake. If you make a mistake, you can always rewrite it on the baking paper and start again.
My thoughts: these are an incredibly useful addition to a novice baker's kitchen, as you can create professional looking designs, fairly easily.
Choco Writers are available from Lakeland, priced at £1.89 per tube, Sainsburys at £1.50, Morrisons at £1.53 and Asda is £1.60. They are also available from numerous cake decorating outlets across the UK. For more information, visit their website

Common Image Defects
Blurry Images:
Blurry images are the cause of camera shakes. While shooting with lower shutter speed the images often get blurry even if there is a slight shake of the camera. To take sharp images and avoid blur, take support of what ever help that is available i.e use a tripod, lean against a wall, lie down on your elbows, use anything that is available. Also use faster ISO.
Chromatic Aberration:
Sometimes there are unwanted color lines around the dark subject in the image. This phenomenon is called chromatic aberration. It is causer due to the failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. To minimize chromatic aberration use larger aperture, for example try f4,f3.5,f2.8 and use software to correct the chromatic aberration.
Depth Of Field :
Many images have a very good subject and composition but they loose the race of being a really appreciable image due to inappropriate depth of field. The depth of field (DOF) is the portion of a scene that appears sharp in the image. Good images have proper depth of field. Depth of field can be controlled by the aperture settings. e.g Use larger aperture value while shooting portraits and smaller aperture value while shooting landscapes. Proper depth of field is a must for best images.
Lens Flare:
Lens flare is created when non-image forming light enters the lens and hits the camera sensor. It normally appears as polygonal light orbs and it is very common while shooting in sun. Lens flare not only creates unwanted orbs in the image but also decrease the contrast of the image. The best way to reduce and almost eliminate the lens flare is to use a camera hood.
Image noise is a random, usually unwanted, variation in brightness or color information in an image. Some level of noise is required in the image but the higher levels can give undesirable results. Image Noise is directly proportional to ISO speed an inversely proportional to light. Low light high ISO speed means more noise in the image. Use software like NeatImage to reduce noise in the image.
Overexposure occurs when excess light falls on the sensor/film than required. An overexposed image has white parts effectively all white i.e. loss of highlight details. Usage of proper shutter speed and metering can avoid overexposure and produce a well exposed image. Also to some level exposure can be corrected using software.
Red Eye:
Red-eye is the most common problem faced by the photographers using a flash. Red-eye is the outcome of the reflection of light from the open retina of the eye. Nowadays most of the digital cameras come with an option of red-eye reduction. Don't hesitate to use this option while shooting humans and animals using a flash. Otherwise use software to correct the red eye.
Tilted Horizons:
This is a very common defect while shooting landscapes involving horizons(hence the name tilted horizons) or verticle objects like buildings. In this, the image is not leveled, it is tilted at some small angle which might not be noticeable at the time the shot is taken. It appears when the image is seen on a larger screen, like the computer screen. To avoid tilted horizons always use a tripod and level it with the ground level.
Underexposure occurs when less light falls on the sensor/film than required. An underexposed image has dark parts indistinguishable from black i.e loss of shadow details. Again Usage of proper shutter speed and metering can avoid overexposure and produce a well exposed image. Also to some level exposure can be corrected using software.
vignetting is the phenomenon in which the corners of the image are more darker than the center of the image. The pixels of the sensor which are at the right angle to the light are well lit and bright and the other pixels receive less light hence darker impression.Most digital cameras use built-in image processing software to compensate vignetting when converting RAW sensor data to standard image formats such as JPEG or TIFF. Otherwise use software to correct vignetting.

Aerialtronics has developed for its Altura Zenith unmanned aircraft system (UAS) a sense-and-avoid solution the company says will fundamentally change how inspections via drone are carried out.
According to Aerialtronics, the solution is designed to help the Zenith UAS stay clear of objects during inspections as it relays images, video and data to the user or a third party. With the new technology, the UAS can detect obstacles – whether static or moving – up to seven meters away at a 360-degree angle.
Aerialtronics expects the new drone solution to be used by customers during lengthy engineering maintenance projects or for regular inspections of structures such as bridges, wind turbines, telecommunication towers, energy pylons and buildings.
"The Zenith can be flown at an adjustable safe distance with a minimum of two meters from the object while recording or relaying photographs, video or data from the field. This enables even inexperienced users to safely fly a camera next to a utility pole or chimney," explains Jan Wouter Kruyt, head of research and development at Aerialtronics.
"The solution we've developed is distance sensing and distance keeping. Our drones can be programmed to stop moving forward or bounce back when they get within a critical distance from any object – be that a wall, a pole or a flying object. It is particularly important in windy conditions where the drone stability is crucial," adds Kruyt.
The new functionality will be available on the Altura Zenith version 1.3 in the second quarter of this year. Current owners will be able to upgrade their Zenith to 1.3, says Aerialtronics.

Quick takes: Could college football's national championship come to Charlotte?
Scott Fowler's quick takes on the week in sports:
▪ BUT JANUARY CAN BE BEAUTIFUL: Charlotte hopes to host college football's national championship game at Bank of America Stadium in either 2019 or 2020 and got a visit from members of the College Football Playoff management group a few days ago.
I think at this point Charlotte's infrastructure could handle the event – we've come a long way since the fake "Street of Champions" for the men's Final Four in 1994. There's no longer any need for a four-block facade of temporary nightclubs and street vendors.
What I worry about is the weather – or, more specifically, what the CFB group will think about the weather. Charlotte is trying to fight off challenges from cities such as San Antonio, Houston and New Orleans, along with cold-weather cities that have a dome. I'd say right now this bid is a worthy effort, but a longshot. If we only had a dome atop Bank of America Stadium. ...
▪ THE NEW JORDAN: The most notable "Jordan" in sports this coming week will not be Michael or DeAndre. It will be Jordan Spieth, the 21-year-old Texan going for his third straight major at the British Open. I'm rooting for him – golf needs a winner like Spieth in the same way that horse racing needed a Triple Crown winner.
▪ SO LONG TO THE SNAKE: I have never bought into the Oakland Raiders, but I sure did like Kenny "The Snake" Stabler. He died Thursday at age 69 from colon cancer.
"Snake was a lot cooler than I was," said former Raiders coach John Madden, whose Oakland team won a Super Bowl with Stabler at the helm. It was a nice quote but not that enlightening – Snake was not just cooler than Madden. He was cooler than everybody. It was said he studied game plans – when he looked at them at all – by the light of the jukebox.
▪ FLAG DOWN: Kudos to Cam Newton for weighing in on the Confederate flag issue at South Carolina's state house – he called its lowering on Friday a "triumph." The trend of athletes delving into real-life issues seems to be real – LeBron James does this a lot – and is a promising one.
▪ 43 INCHES YOU SAY? I loved this line in a press release from Michigan International Speedway about what NASCAR will mandate about the car setup for the next race on Aug. 14 to increase safety. From the release: "The changes to the car for the race include a nine-inch spoiler with a one-inch wicker bill, a two-inch splitter and a 43-inch radiator pan."
Oh, OK – as far as solving NASCAR's safety problem, that should do it!

Samsung must be putting the final touches on its plan to launch their next flagship smartphone in the fourth generation line of Galaxy S models, the Samsung Galaxy S4 in a special event scheduled for March 14th – in two weeks – at the Times Square. Although nothing concrete regarding the specifications or features of Samsung's new and most anticipated smartphone, there have been numerous rumors, most based on leaks, that paint an almost exact picture of what the phone will be like and what it will come with.
Color and storage variants
The newest rumor according to Sam Mobile blog says that the S4 will come in 6 variants: there will be two color variants (white and Black) and three capacities (16, 32 and 64 GB) internal memories. This means that the S4 will be available in these variants:
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 16 GB (Black)
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 16 GB (White)
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 32 GB (Black)
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 32 GB (White)
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 64 GB (Black)
- GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV 64 GB (White)
These are the colors and variants that Samsung may launch the SIV with anyway, with more colors most likely to be released later on. It is not surprising considering that the SIV's predecessor was launched with two colors too – White and Blue, with more colors added later on including Amber Brown, Garnet Red, Sapphire Black and Titanium Grey. I am not implying that the SIV will get similar colors but what we can be sure is that there will be more color additions later on – if you do not fancy the white and black, you may only need to wait a couple of months to get a wider selection of colors.
When it comes to storage, the S4, just like the SIV, comes in 16, 32 and 64 GB variants. This may be a little disappointing for those who expected the SIV to come with up to 128 GB onboard memory as it had been rumored a couple of months back that Samsung was going into mass production of the 128 GB chips. Nonetheless, the S4 will have a microSD card slot which will probably support memory expansion up to 64 GB.
Different Processors?
Earlier today, I came across a post on PH Android that quoted a rumor on Taipei Times which mentioned that the SIV may launched with two different processors for different regions. Earlier rumors pointed at a universal S4 with a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset with a clock speed of 1.9 GHz. The post on Taipei Times quotes an anonymous source to hint at an SIV with a new Exynos 5 Octa chipset for the European and global markets and the Snapdragon 600 for the devices targeting the US market. This would not be very surprising considering that Samsung launched an SIII with a dual core snapdragon processor for the US market and a quad core Exynos processor for the European and global markets.
There were other reports earlier though that Samsung could not be able to equip the SIV with the Octa core processor because they are power hungry and generate too much heat. The rumor may not be very realistic though but for now we know that the device to be launched in New York in two weeks will boasts of a Snapdragon 600 chipset.
Live Event at Times Square
Are you a big fan of Samsung or have been eagerly anticipating the launch of the S4? Samsung is inviting you to their live public launch event to be held at the Times Square, New York. The company has chosen this major venue for the live conference and fans and the general public are invited to participate in the live event. Those who cannot make it there can follow the conference live on YouTube live stream.
Samsung announced on Twitter that the Times Square venue would be open for all fans to take part in the fun. Initial assumptions are that the company has a lot planned for the night, starting at 7 pm local time.
Which variant of the Galaxy S4 will you be buying? Will you go for the Black or White or will you wait a little longer after release to get more colors to choose from? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
