International Partners Sharing Skills (IPASS)
The Homeless World Cup Foundation has been awarded a 3-year grant from the European Commission via the Erasmus+ programme for education, training, youth, and sport. The project is managed by the Homeless World Cup Foundation in collaboration with 21 of our European partners. It will take place from 2016-2018 to develop cooperation between Homeless World Cup street football partners in Europe.
Project Activities
Get-togethers, exchanges and Street Football festivals will bring European partners together to share skills, experience, and knowledge in order to grow the capacity of each partner and strengthen the network in its mission to change the lives of homeless people through football.
Each year of the programme will consist of one European Get-together, three European Exchanges and one European Street Football Festival. Participating partners will take turns in hosting some of the different events.
Project Objectives
Our aim through this project is to improve the capacity of our existing partners in Europe – and around the world – by helping them share their specialist knowledge.
The 21 partners collaborating in this project all have different skills, knowledge and experience. Some are very strong and stable, others new and still developing. By facilitating inter-partner learning and sharing opportunities, a collective knowledge will be developed.
Partners will build rapport and stronger relationships with one another, which will encourage continued learning, sharing, and networking long after the funding for this project has ceased.
Help keep the ball rolling…
Donate Today!
European Get-Togethers
These are informal conferences for delegates from all 21 Erasmus+ programme partners. They will be an important opportunity for partner representatives to exchange and share knowledge, as well as make strategic decisions on the direction of the Erasmus+ project.
European Exchanges
During the exchanges, one partner will host representatives from three other participating programmes to exchange knowledge and skills around certain geographically relevant topics and development themes in relation to tackling homelessness through football. The Erasmus+ programme will include three European Exchanges per year – a total of nine exchanges by the end of the programme.
European Street Football Festivals
This is a larger event that will gather all participating countries. The four-day event will consist of player development workshops over two days, and a two-day street football tournament. The Erasmus+ programme will include three festivals, one for each year of the tournament.

This movie is so eloquently presenting us with our current problems that we have to be blind to miss the chance to change our main goals as species…
It seems that one has to eat a lot of corn to be able to produce such a concept as Interstellar. Or am I wrong? 🙂
This sci-fi movie is dedicated to our eternal struggle to reach and research, to conquer and obtain. It strives to reach for Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", but somewhere near the end of its run it lands below it.
At the end of its 169-minute runtime one feels relieved that he has endured this emotional and transcending journey into space-time, gravity and physics. So much information and ideas float throughout this movie that we feel incomprehensibly lacking intelligence at some moments. That is because Mr. Nolan is giving us too much information in too short time.
That being said – the film is incredible and beautiful. And even more – practically a direct message to our hearts that it is up to us to decide what to do – concentrate on saving our planet and our species or on what we do best – survive no matter what. The constellation of actors is incredible – McConaughey, Hathaway, Caine, Damon, Chastain, Affleck – we see almost the best cast which one director can assemble these years. And they play very well. The viewer can feel and succumb into their emotions – fear, despair, happiness, hope and so on. The camera perfectly follows the circular journey of our main character (conqueror) Coop'. The special effects and the music are GIGANTIC. Hans Zimmer is truly offering us the feel of depth and infinity.
The drought and famine which are the problem of the future's Earth are our problem right now too. Climatic changes are bringing us to the same problems which are presented in the movie as a certain reason of our species demise. That is why this film is so necessary at this point of our development as a modern society. That is why I liked very much the way Mr. Nolan has expressed his views in this movie.
Also, please keep in mind that there are some VERY emotional and controversial scenes of confrontation between McConaughey and Hathaway, between McConaughey and Damon. There are some peaks of emotional strain which can offer you not only very good acting lessons, but also a perfect dissection of our human nature. This is what I liked best in this movie.
And also – of course the topics about family relationships and love. It is very important that we always remember and understand that we as humans need to share with each other, to help and to remember each other. The the only gravity which transcends beyond time and connects us eternally is LOVE.

LIVERPOOL Football Club's sale to New England Sports Ventures has been formally completed, the Echo can reveal.
The club is now legally and officially the property of Boston-based NESV, led by John W. Henry, after the deal was signed at 3.45pm.
Former co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett no longer have anything to do with Liverpool Football Club or its affairs.
The dramatic, drawn-out sale ends three and a half years of controversy, crisis and heartache for Britain's most successful ever football club and its supporters, who have campaigned relentlessly to get rid of Hicks and Gillett.
The £300m deal which claimed the five times European champions for NESV was sealed after a another astonishing day of developments. It saw Hicks attempt to reach agreement with American hedge fund Mill Financial to take over at Anfield at very the last gasp.
Had it been successful, that would have seen Mill Financial repay Royal Bank of Scotland their £237m loan, which Hicks and Gillett have been liable for, just hours before an RBS deadline passed today.
But Hicks' desperate 11th hour move to somehow retain control - or pass it to Mill by selling them his shares and thereby get his money back - has failed. The deal agreed on October 6 with NESV has finally been signed - and Hicks and Gillett are estimated to have lost £140m in total from the whole venture.
However, they are determined to pursue further legal action over the matter, having claimed in a statement that the sale to NESV amounted to an 'epic swindle'. They are seeking 1.6 billion dollars in damages and promising 'protracted litigation' over the 'illegal sale'.
But the NESV deal has now gone through and a new era at Anfield is in place. The owners of the Boston Red Sox baseball team are now legally recognised as the owners of Liverpol FC in Britain, where jurisdiction over the matter has been emphatically proven to rest.
John W Henry, who is one of 17 American investors in NESV, is not expected at Goodison Park on Sunday, when Liverpool play Everton in the 214th Merseyside derby. He said he would prefer to watch Liverpool's first game as owner at Anfield.
Henry has spent the last two days in London to help Liverpool's English non-owner directors overcome the massive hurdles that were being placed in their way by Hicks and Gillett.
The news is a major triumph for those three English directors - Liverpool Chairman Martin Broughton, Managing Director Christian Purslow and Commercial Director Ian Ayre.
They have together been through days of intense legal battle-planning with top London law firm Slaughter and May, and had won two crucial court victories this week after Hicks and Gillett attempted to remove lifelong Liverpool fans Purslow and Ayre from the Reds' five man board last week.
Hicks even went to his hometown district court in Dallas on Wednesday night to try and block the sale to NESV, infuriating the London High Court Judge, Mr Justice Floyd, who had ruled against him that day in England.
Hicks was yesterday threatened by Mr Justice Floyd with contempt of court, possibly jail, unless he dropped by 4pm today his attempts to drag the case across the Atlantic.
Liverpool, RBS and NESV were due to contest the USA temporary restraining order which Hicks secured in Texas at 1pm today. But in a suprise move, Hicks withdrew it before it got back to the court in Dallas.
It is thought that by dropping his action prematurely Hicks was likely trying to buy more time as he raced against the clock to sell his shares to Mill or do a deal with them.
Hicks' final, ignominious departure now signals not only the end of a deeply unhappy era at Anfield and a victory for Broughton Purlsow and Ayre, but a triumph too for fans groups like Spirit of Shankly, Share Liverpool and Kop Faithful who have all camapigned furously against Hicks and Gillett in recent years.
They have staged mass marches in Anfield, held sit in protests on the Kop and mounted email blitzes against the Americans and anyone they have tried to secure new refinancing deals with.
They have also called for either outright fan ownership - or for supporters to have a real voice in the running of the club to protect it from financial predators in the future.
Earlier and before the sale was confirmed, NEVS owner Henry had been ensconced in a meeting at Slaughter and May. A spokesman for NESV told the ECHO: "We are moving forward. Everyone is committed to buying Liverpool."
The statement released by Hicks and Gillett effectively ended their interest in continuing to own the club, but announced their intention to sue.
It confirmed the former co-owners would launch a $1.6bn lawsuit for damages due to a 'proposed illegal sale' which would 'cause even more uncertainty for LFC.'
The statement said: '"It's an extraordinary swindle and it will result in exactly the wrong thing for the club and the fans.'
Steve Stodghill, the Texas attorney representing the Liverpool owners, added: "This outcome not only devalues the club but it also will result in long-term uncertainty for the fans, players and everyone who loves this sport because all legal recourses will be pursued.
"Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett pledged to pay the debt to RBS so that the club could avoid administration that was threatened by RBS. "That offer was rejected.
"It is a tragic development that others will claim as a victory.
"This means it won't be resolved the way it should be resolved.
"My clients worked tirelessly to resolve these issues but RBS would not listen to any reasonable solution and the directors acted selfishly and illegally.
"Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett wanted to position this club for the future, but others have a different agenda.
"In truth, there is nothing positive from these events for Liverpool Football. That is exactly the opposite of what my clients wanted to achieve."
Earlier in the day, in a last throw of the dice, the Premier league refused to carry out its owners and directors test on Mill Financial, who were attempting to grab a stake in the Reds.
Mill Financial, the hedge fund that had owned George Gillett's 50% share of the club, approached league bosses last night to request the test be carried out.
But the league told the secretive Virginia-based company that it could not carry out the test until the club's board made the request.
It appeared that Mill was not just seeking to pay off the £237m RBS debts held by Americans but to also to take a degree of control of the club.
Mill controlled Gillett's stake because the company is owed £75m by the American.
The company stands to lose that £75m with the sale to NESV and was attempting to protect its investment.
Whether that was to be be a 100% ownership, or some sort of shared deal with Hicks remained unclear.
A spokesman for the Premier League said: "We will continue to deal directly with the legally constituted board of Liverpool FC and take direction from them with regard to any ownership issues."
A long and protracted legal fight, the like never seen before in the Premier League, is now expected to take place as Hicks and Gillett pursue their claim.

I owned guns when I was younger. Wasn't a hunter, and wasn't even that much of a gun enthusiast, but I did enjoy going out and shooting them once in a while. Set up a few cans or sticks in a gully, move back a good ways, and start firing. Can't say I was a great shot since I never really practiced very much, but I could hit a tin can every few rounds, especially with my old Remington twenty-two long. But my old first generation single action Colt was another matter. I could usually get near a can with my shot, with the dust puffing up to one side or the other, or maybe a few yards behind. But the Colt wasn't really made for long distance. It was more of a close-up, in your face kind of firearm.
I even had to use my old Colt in self defense, though you'll have to read my book to get that story. Suffice it to say that at the time, I thought I was protecting my horse, Gizmo, and myself from further attacks by a couple of disreputable characters (they had already assaulted us). As I said, I wasn't all that good a shot with the Colt, but I was pretty danged good at doing gun tricks with it. Unloaded, of course. I'd twirl it around, popping it in and out of my holster. Throwing it up behind my back and catching it after it had completed two and a half circles. I'd catch it, pull the hammer back and fire, all in one smooth motion. It was a single action sidearm, which meant you had to cock the hammer in order to fire it.
I'd spend hours in camp during our long ride, spinning the Colt, balancing it on my fingertips by the end of its barrel, rolling over and under my hands, flipping it over and firing, then spinning it and letting it fall easily into the holster at my side. Even learned to cock and fire it upside down (the gun, not me…). I'm mostly left handed, so after I mastered all these tricks with my left hand, I learned how to do them right handed.
I loved that old Colt. Don't have it anymore; gave it to my brother (who had originally given it to me) when I moved to New Zealand. Had no use for it, anyway. Never kept bullets for it after the ride. Mostly just kept it as a memento, a keepsake to remind me of my adventure with my horse. For some reason, I always think of Gizmo when I think of that old Colt.
It was made in 1907, what they call a "first generation Colt". It had "Colt Single Action Army" stamped on the five-and-a-quarter-inch barrel. There's a spring inside the pistol grip, called the hammer spring, that causes the hammer to slam shut when you squeeze the trigger. It's a flat piece of steel that's bent into a curve, and it bends when you cock the hammer back. It was very stiff and hard to cock when I first got the pistol, so I took a rasp and filed the sides of the spring down a bit, making it much easier to use. It wasn't what you'd call a hair trigger—one that could be fired with very little pull—but it made doing the gun tricks a lot easier. I didn't want a hair trigger, because if the gun was loaded while I was riding, it could easily go off if Gizmo or I were suddenly jarred. That's something they don't tell you in the movies.
That old Colt got me out of trouble, and it got me into trouble (again, you'll have to read the book…). I brought it along on the ride for protection against critters—mostly to scare off herds of wild horses by firing over their heads—and I gave no thought about using it against humans. I had traveled for thousands of miles by hitchhiking and riding freight trains and wasn't the least bit concerned with defending myself against possible attacks from strangers. And for the most part, I was right about that.
I was still living in "lonesome cowboy" mode back then, heading down the trail all by myself on my trusty horse with my six-shooter strapped to my side. I didn't care about showing off or impressing anyone with the gun—in fact, I mostly kept it hidden down in my saddlebags whenever I was around civilization. But I figured it was just part of being who I was trying to be at the time. I viewed it not as a symbol of status or a political statement, but simply as a tool. I could not have cared less about making an issue of guns back in those days.
Things are different today. A lot different. I reckon a lot of gun owners keep a gun for many of the same reasons I did back then. They like to shoot. They enjoy antique firearms—or even new ones—and like having them around. I never was a hunter, but many people are, and I have no quarrel with that. But today most people keep a gun for self defense. Most of these are hand guns, like my old Colt, but a lot more powerful and accurate. Some are semi-automatic rifles. None of them are made for hunting. Just like my Colt, they're strictly for killing people. The main difference is, they can kill a lot more people a lot faster than that old single action ever could.
We live in fear today. Profound fear, from where I sit. Afraid of everything. Afraid of the guy next door, afraid of walking down the street alone, afraid of going camping. We're afraid of the food we eat, the water we drink, the vaccines we give our kids. We're afraid of smoking, afraid of the vapor trails that jets make, afraid of driving without seat belts. We're afraid of dying before it's our time. And somehow, we don't believe it's ever our time. We mourn an 89 year old's passing, as if she hadn't lived a long enough life. We want to live forever. We want control of our lives. We want control of everything. And we trade away our happiness for the idea of being in control. Ironically, we're think we're happier as an armed society who thinks they're safe, than we would be as an unarmed society who knows they're safe.
We grab for control like we would a broom. And we always seem to grab the ignorant end. We can't seem to figure out which end's the smart one.
At least, with that old single action Colt, I knew where the grip was.

Living Torah Archives
My father-in-law, the Rebbe, instituted "Merkos Shlichus," whereby Yeshiva students volunteer each summer to visit remote Jewish communities in order to raise awareness of Torah, Mitzvos and Judaism.
The story was reported by a Jew living in a small American town, that he looked outside his window and saw one of our Yeshiva students walking with a beard, and Tzitzis showing. He inquired: "Where is that young man from? Poland, Galicia, Ukraine?" "No," he was told, "he's a Bostonian." Thought the man: "A Bostonian! With a full beard, earlocks and Tzitzis! And what is he discussing in his perfect English? Torah's deepest mystical concepts!" – Just seeing the student was enough to stir thoughts of repentance within him.
The highest form of charity is when neither giver nor receiver know each other's identity. So this was an act of spiritual charity at its best – the student had no idea whom he had influenced, and the man had no idea who had influenced him. And there's no telling just how great the outcome will be, and how it will manifest in the man's children and grandchildren…Less

I'm throwing my mom a 50th birthday party and she knows. She's giving me the guest list. I thought it would be cool to reminisce about one of the most formidable times of your life being grade school through college. I thought it would be cool to celebrate the 70's and early 80's with music being the theme. I thought maybe a Grammy's kind of theme but I'm scared that the games may be a little too kiddy for this crowd. Games such as 'name that tune' and 'dancing game'. I just don't know what to do.

Blyth's blithe spirit intoxicated tourists who flocked to the Northumberland town for the Tall Ships Regatta.
The sea port was packed out yesterday as thousands made the most of the chance to take in the sailing ships and the sunshine.
The highlight was a crew parade, where shipmates from around the world danced through the dockyard, proudly flying their flags and performing tricks for the cheery crowd.
Bill Gamble travelled up from Kirkbymoorside in North Yorkshire on his motorbike to see the ships and was overwhelmed by Blyth's hospitality.
"I've never been to Blyth and I'm interested in coming back for a long weekend and a mooch about.
"It's enlightening, it's given me quite an insight into Blyth and what the community has to offer."
Jim and Beryl Whitlam joined a coach party from Doncaster.
The couple reckon around 100 came up on their trip from the South Yorkshire town.
"We have thoroughly enjoyed it," said Jim.
"It's a shame we didn't see the ships sailing in, but no, I've definitely enjoyed it,"
Both raved about the welcome they enjoyed in the town.
"We've found everybody so helpful," said Beryl.
Jim added: "We've been up this neck of the woods before and we've always found the locals very helpful and very courteous."
Their only downside was not getting on one of the tall ships, but they felt that was only because the festival was a victim of its own popularity.
Jim said: "There's that many people you would have to queue for hours."
Northumbrians were impressed by Blyth's hosting too.
Lynne, who came down for the day from Alnwick, said: "I think it's great that we can acknowledge the little places."
The regatta continues through to Bank Holiday Monday.
The highlight on the final day will be the Parade of Sail where the Tall Ships fleet will leave Blyth and head south down to St Mary's Lighthouse before positioning themselves for the start of the race to Gothenberg in Sweden.

It has been my analysis that the online Perl world may not be suitable for many potential newcomers to the language from various reasons. The document "Usability" of the Perl Online World is a mission statement intended to remedy this situation. Each Perl user and "guru" can easily implement its recommendations to aid beginners and improve the situation.

Yealands Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Save £1.45
Free UK Delivery
On orders over £100
Click & Collect
From our Bath store
Red - Elegant & Silky
Drink now
The Classics - Lamb & Duck. However this wine is also fine enough to pair with white meats and some fish.
Peter Yealands is apparently a 'can do' man. I have never really understood what this means but he has certainly built a number of very successful companies over the years and his exploits in the wine world are to be greatly admired. I attended the annual New Zealand tasting the other day and only a handful of tables shone with complete portfolios of excellent wines. It's hard to hit the high notes with a variety of styles but this winery has a few stars which you should not miss….2016 Yealands Estate Single Vineyard PGR, a Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling blend, is one of the finest whites imaginable with Thai and Malaysian cuisine. My featured wine though is the star. In spite of the number of Pinot Noirs made in New Zealand, very few Kiwis can make stunning Pinot Noir at fifteen quid. I know this because I have tasted every single version sold in the UK. This one is the best.
- Money Week
- Matthew Jukes
The first sniff reveals a creamy, almost chocolate aroma, undercut by violets and cherries. Then take a sip – this is exactly what a 'silky texture' feels like in the mouth. A wonderful wine.
- The Sunday Times
- Will Lyons
An adorable pinot, amazingly soft and rounded, with a creamy, milk-chocolate layer under fresh, ripe raspberries, a toasty-oak touch to the finish. One for duck.
- The Telegraph
- Susy Atkins
Very good wine
Been a bit disappointed with the wines from New Zealand of late; this is probably the best value I have tasted. Very plummy on the palate, great flavours from start to finish an all round good wine. It went really well with the roast duck.

I lived in Britain for three years as a student; Jackie is British; we travel to England several times a year. So I'm more or less bilingual: In a restaurant, I never ask for the check rather than the bill, and I never say bathroom when I mean toilet. But there are some things I just cannot bring myself to say. One of them is "cheese" where "and cheese" is meant, as in "macaroni cheese" instead of "macaroni and cheese" — to my ear, the former is utterly meaningless.
The same goes for "cauliflower cheese," which Jackie requested for dinner the other night, having bought a lovely white cauliflower at the farmers' market. I pretended not to understand, then feigned the sudden realization that she must have meant "cauliflower AND cheese."
When called by a sensible name, this is a wonderful thing that we have a couple of times a year. It is not unlike macaroni and cheese, in that the starring ingredient is pre-cooked, mixed with béchamel sauce into which cheeses have been melted and baked until bubbly and lightly browned. It is also similar in that you always burn your mouth with the first forkful.
I sometimes put a little prosciutto or other ham into dishes like this, but there were three slim young leeks in the fridge — not enough to stand on their own but plenty to add a new dimension to an old favorite. I julienned the white part and a couple of inches of the pale green, then sweated them with salt in plenty of butter. When the leeks were tender but not even slightly browned, I stirred in a couple of tablespoons of flour, letting it cook for a minute or two. Then milk, enough to form a lightly thickened leek sauce. This was nice enough on its own, and I could imagine eating it with poached chicken or with some kind of croquettes.
But the cauliflower, cut into florets, had already been steamed until just tender, so the "and cheese" part was inevitable. I added a couple of big handfuls of grated cheese to the béchamel, in this case two thirds Swiss gruyère and one third young manchego – I tend to use whatever there is in the house, within limits, so long as it will melt nicely, and I try to refrain from adding so much that the sauce turns gluey. When the cheese was melted and the sauce smooth, I tasted for salt and pepper then folded in the cauliflower.
This went into a shallow baking dish and got sprinkled lightly with breadcrumbs. If I'd had the energy I would have pre-browned these in butter, but I didn't. After twenty-something minutes in a 400-degree oven, the sauce was blistering hot and the top lightly browned; if I had a broiler I probably would have used it to brown the top a bit more, and you may wish to do this.
It made a delightful dinner. Sweet, juicy, mildly cabbage-y cauliflower is such a pleasant vegetable, and, especially in its leek-enriched version. I know that this sounds like lukewarm praise, but there are those days when pleasantness is just what you want, and I can't think of any other dish, on either side of the Atlantic, that would have made us happier that evening.

As most of you know, dry shampoo is LIFE. Seriously, if you have not tried dry shampoo: 1. Why are you living under a rock? 2. Why haven't you gone already?!
The new dry Shampoo from Cibu is one of my faves I've ever tried! It has a delicious tropical scent and it works instantly. It's also light, so it doesn't leave your hair feeling full of product which I HATE. Plus, it stays looking clean and feeling fresh all day or until you finally feel like washing your hair. 😉
Another product I'm loving this summer is the Cibu 8 Days A Week Texture Finishing Spray. It's another great lazy day product. I love it for the day after you've curled you hair. You can spray it in and just scrunch it up and you're good to go! Plus, it's like the dry shampoo, very light and doesn't leave your hair sticky and heavy.
Best part: until August 24, get 20% off anything at Cibu with code 'MATERIALGIRL20'

Tavon Austin scores three touchdowns in Rams blowout win vs. Colts
INDIANAPOLIS — The Rams drafted Tavon Austin to be their game-changer.
He's finally starting to play like it.
On Sunday, Austin accounted for 310 combined yards returning and receiving, scored three touchdowns and led the reeling Rams to a stunning 38-8 victory at Indianapolis. It was the Colts' worst home loss in two decades.
"I know I have a big role on this team, as far as special teams," Austin said. "Right now I'm just waiting for opportunities and trying to keep making plays."
He's likely to start seeing the ball a lot more after turning the Colts game tape into his own personal highlight reel.
The rookie receiver raced right past Vontae Davis for a 57-yard score in the first half and cut right through the Colts defense for an 81-yard TD catch in the second half. Those were his only two catches of the day, giving him 138 yards and matching the two TD catches he had in St. Louis' first nine games.
But the turning point came on one of the strangest plays of the season — as Austin duped the Colts into positioning themselves to down a punt inside the Rams' 5-yard line and then grabbing the bouncing ball at his own 2. The Colts (6-3) were caught napping and Austin made them pay with 98-yard sprint down the sideline to give the Rams a 21-0 lead.
The Rams were not surprised.
"He has the chance to change games," Fisher said. "We're just going to keep working to get him the football."
Austin now has two weeks to tune up for Chicago.
Here are five other things we learned from Sunday's game.
LIFE WITHOUT REGGIE: No quarterback in the league may miss his favorite receiver more than Andrew Luck. Yes, Luck finished with good numbers 29 of 47 for 353 yards, though most of that production came after the Colts trailed 38-0. Luck also was sacked three times and picked off three times. The bigger concern is that Indy's offense has struggled terribly in their first two games without Reggie Wayne — and that has to be fixed.
PRESSURE PACKED: If anyone doubted St. Louis' pass rush, they shouldn't now. Luck was under constant duress Sunday, and even when he tried to scramble out of harm's way, the Rams' inside pass rushers didn't let him escape. The result: Indy rushed just 14 times for 18 yards, and Luck who routinely seems to make something out of nothing, managed four carries for 17 yards.
COMEBACK KING: Luck has been terrific in the clutch, leading 10 fourth-quarter comebacks in his first 25 NFL games. But the Colts would prefer to not need his fourth-quarter magic and that means they must do more early. Luck was sacked and stripped of the ball on the sixth play of the game, a turnover Chris Long returned 45 yards for a TD. The defense and special teams gave up four more touchdowns over the next 28½ minutes, digging themselves into a 35-0 deficit that even the masterful Luck couldn't recover from. It's time to end the slow starts.
NEVER GIVE UP: Yes, the Rams fate seemed doomed when they lost quarterback Sam Bradford with a season-ending knee injury and then lost three straight games. But even in the rugged NFC West, the Rams believe they can still reach the playoffs — and if Austin continues to play this way, they might. Bradford's replacement, Kellen Clemens, went 9 of 16 for 247 yards with two TDs and no interceptions. The scoring passes to Austin were the two longest completions of Clemens' eight-year NFL career.
PERSPECTIVE: While there were plenty of boos inside Lucas Oil Stadium, and rightly so, Colts fans saved their loudest ovation for something more meaningful — the return of an American soldier from Afghanistan. Fans overwhelmingly cheered when Army First Sergeant Jeremy Inocencio hugged his wife and children in the most poignant moment of the day.

Yesterday, I downloaded the new anniversary update for Windows 10. All was going well and I loved the new Windows 10 and Xbox integration. The software update added features and fixed many bugs affecting the previous version.
I was pleased with the changes and improvements until I booted Counter Strike: Global Offensive. I immediately noticed significant input lag in the UI and during matches. MY office PC is using the GTX 960 and I was running the game with custom medium to high settings combination ever since the card came out.
I never faced any issues running the game at those setting but suddenly these problems popped up. And the game running at 30FPS.
After tuning the settings and by tuning I mean disabling everything and lower every option, I was able to get a decent frame rate.
But the input lag was still noticeable.
First I blamed the recently released CS:GO update and wondered how it got passed through Valve's QA. However, after digging around the internet for a while I came across people who were having the same issue. All of us had one thing in common, Windows 10 Anniversary update.
Conspiracy theorist online were seen accusing Microsoft of damaging Steam and CS:GO, citing Tim Sweeney. For those who don't know, Sweeny recently said that Microsoft will ruin Steam and push it to the point where people will move to Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform so I decided to put things to test.
Thankfully, the issue is limited to Counter Strike: Global Offensive and I was to able to run DOTA 2 and Team Fortress 2 just fine. In fact, Steam client is running as smoothly as ever.
While the new update did affect Counter Strike, there is no evidence to suggest that Microsoft deliberately tried to screw with Valve's game.
In fact, there is a simple fix to the problem.
The issue originates from Microsoft's Xbox DVR feature and turning it off immediately fixes the problem. Open your Xbox DVR App, Go to Settings, Click on Game DVR and turn it off.
I also happen to stumble across another fix which may help you run the game with DVR on. Run Counter Strike and once you reach the main menu, hit alt+tab to come back to your desktop. From here, go back the game and it should run smoothly.

Our commitment to ensuring that road users travel safely on our state highways includes tracking the road condition with formal surveys using a vehicle called 'SCRIM+' (Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine). Using the reliable, timely and accurate data collected by SCRIM+ we're able to respond to road-condition issues promptly and cost effectively.
Completed between October and March each year, each SCRIM+ survey collects information on:
skid resistance
geometry (gradient, crossfall and curvature)
centreline GPS coordinates.
The survey vehicle also records a 'network video' – what you see as you drive the highway.
Along with responding to immediate condition, we also use the results to:
monitor highway performance
plan future work programmes
analyse trends
predict how the road condition will change in the future.

I want you all to know that I´m thinking real hard to solve the illegal immigrant problem. A few days ago I called President Trump and offered my services to design his wall, because I´m a tax payer, and his idea isn´t exactly the most cost effective barrier I can think of. I´m really into this because anyone who wastes tax dollars is the enemy of the people. Sure they are. They are the enemy of the people.
(Please applaud)
I start out by telling you that Trump really has no idea of how to build a useful border barrier, when he makes speeches and describes it, he just makes it up. There're no designs. I don't believe he has even looked at the existing fences built by Bush and Obama.
I watched Trump giving his typical spiel about the huge wall he´s going to build, and how he´s going to make Mexico pay for it, and I thought, "Give me a break, I know how to build a better barrier. One that´s going to create lots of good paying jobs, most of them right inside the USA".
The people around Trump, they're very dishonest people. In fact, they just don´t know when to tell him his comments are bullshit, and this allows the dishonest media to bash him, because he comes across as an asshole.
So I'm not against Trump, I'm not against the wall as such. But I don´t think the US taxpayer ought to be paying for a tall concrete wall. Something like this:
Trump´s concrete wall, with gravel
road and patrolling border guard
And I tell ya, I love good stories, but I don't go for Trump´s design at all. A tall concrete wall is just stupid, because it´s fairly easy to put up a ladder against it, climb it, and drop on the other side.
They can put broken glass, concertina wire, electric fences, or whatever, on top of that thing, and those illegal aliens and dope smugglers will use the wall as a cover to prepare ladders, catapults, cranes, or whatever else they think they´ll need to jump over that sucker.
They can put broken glass, concertina wire, electric fences, or whatever, on top of that thing, and those illegal aliens and dope smugglers will use the wall as a cover to prepare ladders, catapults, cranes, or whatever else they think they´ll need to jump over that sucker.
Instead, I offer you my high technology design. I came up with this after watching several dozen Youtube videos of the existing border fences, interviews with local residents and ranchers, and law enforcement officers who work in the border counties:
My steel pipe fence design, with
a narrow gravel road and robot
My design uses a steel tube fence similar to the ones already built. However, my fence design uses used oil country steel pipe. The pipes are cut to allow them to be set in holes, leaving about 10 ft (3 meters) to stick out of the ground. Their sole purpose will be to create a credible barrier to anybody who may have wandered around in Mexico, and doesn´t really want to cross. The pipes will have to be spaced to stop people from sticking their heads in between, which means they ought to be spaced about 6 inches (15 cm) apart.
The key to my barrier system is the self driving robot provided with claws to catch the illegal aliens. I´m not too sure about the robot details. This would be provided by suitable USA robot manufacturers who will be allowed to form joint ventures with Japanese robot makers (we have to take into account that Trump gets along with the Japanese).
The self driving robots can be programmed like the Google self driving cars, but they´ll also have software systems to allow them to identify an illegal alien, grab him/her with its claw, and hold it tight until a self driving paddy wagon arrives and the robot border guard can toss the alien inside.
USA citizens and legal residents who live close to the border will be recognized as such if they speak good English and give the robot their social security number, and can be released within seconds of being captured.
The way I see it, if Congress approves my design, about 2500 km of barrier can be covered by 15 thousand robots, plus one thousand self driving paddy wagons. These can be serviced by special robot and self driving car service centers spaced about 12 ½ miles apart. That´s 200 high tech service centers! And I bet each service center will create at least 30 high paying robot technician and mechanic jobs. That´s 6000 jobs!.
Just in case, we can add about 8000 additional border guards, who can come along and help out when the robots run into drug or weapons smugglers and get involved in a shoot out. I´ve given some thought to including a machine gun in the robot´s kit, but that may have to wait until we are sure the software works good enough to the robot doesn´t shoot US citizens or legal residents.
I estimate the total cost of my border barrier system to be about $20 billion USD, but I´m pretty sure the cost savings from not having thousands of ICE agents rounding up illegals, the savings in court costs, and the lower crime will more than make up for the investment. And there´s the benefit of the robot industry the USA will develop, which will eventually allow robots to be used replacing people all the way from the simplest job all the way to US President. Wow. Imagine that!

Bioprinting is a new area of research and engineering that involves printing devices that deposit biological material. The long-term goal is that the technology could be used to create replacement organs or even entire organisms from raw biological materials.
Today, bioprinters are in the development stage and primarily are used as scientific tools. They lack the speed and fine-tuning necessary for commercial deployment, though that day might not be far off. The first bioprinters deposited drops as small as 100 picoliters (by comparison, the volume of a cell is around 3 picoliters and the best inkjet printers can deposit drops 1-5 picoliters in volume) at a rate of tens of thousands per second. More recent bioprinters can extrude individual cells from a micropipette at a lower speed.
A bioprinter developed by Gabor Forgacs, a biophysicist at the University of Missouri in Columbia, used combinations of "bioink" and "biopaper" to print complex 3D structures, albeit not at cellular resolution. Operating at 10,000 dots per second (10 kHz), a 100 picoliter printer can produce 60 microliters of tissue each minute, or 86 milliliters per day, a quantity of tissue that could almost fill a typical test tube. The downside of the 100 picoliter printer is its low resolution - most organic tissue we're familiar with requires precise cell-level organization in order to operate properly.
When Forgacs used the micropipette approach with single-celled resolution, they were able to create functional, living tissue that behaved like the organ it came from. For example, when they used the bioprinter to deposit chicken heart cells onto a dish, they started to beat synchronously. Given a high-detailed map of the cellular networks in a human heart, there are no fundamental barriers between going from this rudimentary bioprinter to one that prints out full human organs within a decade or two.
Bioprinters can be found throughout science fiction. For example, in The Fifth Element, one of the main characters gets her body created by a bioprinter in the opening scene of the movie. Some have even lauded bioprinting as a possible path to immortality, but this is doubtful in the near term because of the difficulty of avoiding disturbing surface cells when replacing aging interior cells.

I'm generally a happy person lately, what with love and great friends, and fun adventures, Harry Potter dates, tunnels that aren't tunnels, hot cocoa, purple sweatshirts, and beautiful music, I would say I am more than content in life. But there is one thing that can, and must be fixed. That is my job. So, I have had to work my entire thanksgiving holiday, from actual Turkey Day through Black Friday and of course yesterday and today. These are some of the worst days to work in a place like Wal Mart, which already is really poopy to work it. And I have plenty to be thankful for in general, but this isn't one of them. "Well," people say, "I know you don't want to work on Thanksgiving, but be thankful you have a job." But here's the thing about that: the way this place has been making me feel lately I don't even know if I'm thankful for having a job. Management can say and do what they want without consequences and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. I don't really have much of an emotional attachment to money, after all, I don't consider myself a capitalist by any means, but I do have a problem with one word, "entitlement." They see that they get paid more than us, for sitting on their butts or for being butts, and they think that any complaint relayed to them is irrelevant. Heckhound will break down for you what has gone on in the past eight months, culminating with what occurred on Thanksgiving, and by the end, I don't think anyone can doubt my justification for no job being worth all this trouble.
I was asked back in the Summer, if I was interested in going off on a special project for them for a few months, which involved remodeling another one of their stupid stores up near Burlington. And I was told with 100% percent assurance, that I could back out at anytime, and that giving them my name was not a commitment to this assignment. It was two weeks before the thing, and I had yet to hear who was chosen for this thing, and it would be very important to know these things prior to them sending people away. I heard through a third party source that I was going, and I really had no desire to do it, so I went to the assistant manager's office one afternoon, and this is what she said to me: "We put your name in because you said, 'Yes, I'm going' and you can't really change your mind now." Me: "You led me to believe otherwise, so what do I do?" And she came back with, "well, I'll see what I can do, but since you inconvenience us, it's your responsibility." How fair is that, when I was told it was some kind of lottery, but come to find out that on the day they told me I am allowed to back out, my name went directly to the place? I knew it was too good to be true, that I could actually be respected by you, Wal Mart. I find gratititude from some of my fellow cashiers and immediate supervisors, who actually know me as a person, and for that I am grateful, but they are not Wal Mart, like me just cogs in a wheel. I took the next logical step in the process and went to the store manager themself, and what did I get there? "Are you saying that they lied to you? Because they told me you were beyond excited about this, and that there was no doubt in your mind you were going." "Well," I said, "it didn't happen that way, and I need to get out of this." "I'll help you." It should have ended there, but it didn't, instead it was: "I'll try to help you, but I don't appreciate that you deny what you said in the first place." Me, a liar? I am called many things, and I am very laid back in general life stuff, but one thing that would make me indignant, would be, someone calling me a liar. And beyond that, how could I be forced into something that was optional? My problem was taken care of, so I let that situation go for the time.
Then, there I was on Thanksgiving, in tears on the bloody sales floor because some manager thanks the way to help associates is by raising his voice and expecting them to do a better job, and picking on them incessantly as they do lots of back-breaking work. What is the manager doing to help? Just barking out orders and antagonizing, no "let me help you with that," or anything. I walked away from him, and didn't know what to do, and didn't know what this meant for my job or anything, shaking, and begging my usual supervisors to keep me away from him, but they had no power in the situation anymore than I did. If you don't appreciate someone's ineptness at pulling pallets from one end of the store to another, either show them what they're doing wrong, or just be quiet if you don't know how to say anything nice, or better yet, don't expect a cashier to be as good at it as someone who spends all of their shifts unloading freight from the damn truck.
Dear Wal Mart Stores Inc.,
Make better policies and hire management people who make us feel if not welcome, at least comfortable if we have to come and work for you.
K, thanks,

India was bowled out for 107 runs in the second innings while chasing a target of 441 runs, letting the visitors win first test on Indian soil in 13 years.
Good wake up call this for India.Track with too much spin evens the advantage.Congratulations to Australia for a fantastic victory#IndvAus
— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) February 25, 2017
"Thought it was going to be hard work. I'm proud of the way the guys played. Winning the toss was a bonus, good plans in place. O'Keefe was outstanding. We've got some good players of spin and good spinners," Australia captain Steve Smith said.
"It's been 4502 days since Australia won a Test in India, I know it to the day. When O'Keefe pulled his length back slightly, it felt he'd get a wicket every ball. You need to have some luck on a wicket like that. It took a lot of grit and determination," he added.
What a win by the boys in Pune.@stevesmith49 @darren_lehmann. Enjoy the moment start of something special.🍻🍷👍#go Aussies

Overview of India Vs Australia first test in Pune
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli said the Indian team outplayed in this game and it was India's worst batting display in the last two years.
"We need to see what we did wrong. They exploited the pitch better than us. They put us under pressure throughout and deserved to win this game. We've had two really bad sessions and to pull it back against a quality side is very difficult. No excuses. Sometimes, you have to take your hat off and tell the opposition well done," he added.
The squads:
India: Virat Kohli (capt.), K.L. Rahul, M. Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), R. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Jayant Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Karun Nair, Abhinav Mukund, Hardik Pandya.
Australia: Steve Smith (capt.), David Warner, Matt Renshaw, Shaun Marsh, Peter Handscomb, Mitchell Marsh, Matthew Wade (wk), Mitchell Starc, Steve O'Keefe, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood, Ashton Agar, Jackson Bird, Glenn Maxwell, Usman Khawaja, Mitchell Swepson.

It has been a while since I posted here, and I've missed my little sounding board. Most who know me are aware that little intrigues me as much as literature, pop culture, and human sexuality, so the popularity of the Fifty Shades of Grey series by E. L. James seems like the perfect opportunity for a blog revival. Spoiler alert: This post contains spoilers from Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed.
Back in January of February when I heard about how library patrons were clamoring to get this unavailable novel, Fifty Shades of Grey, I bought it for my Kobo reader without even reading reviews or a summary. Needless to say, I was surprised that fanfiction erotica was what mainstream America was buzzing about. I'll be honest--knowing that probably wouldn't have stopped me from buying the book, but I worked my way through my to be read pile before I finally read Fifty Shades.
Fifty Shades of Grey reads like fan fiction--simple, cliche, saturated with sweeping yet not engaging descriptive language, and predictable. The sexy scenes are just that--sexy. Not mindblowing and a little too full of spontaneous orgasms for my taste (seriously, I would like to meet a woman who orgasms that quickly that soon after losing her virginity. If she exists she should submit to some sort of scientific study!), but just enough to pique one's interest. Sure, this whole novel could have benefited from (a lot) more editing, but so would have its inspiration, the Twilight series. What really bothered me was how the story line and characters were so exactly cast in the image of Twilight and its ilk. I found Bella and Edward to be annoying at best and unhealthy role models at worst, and Ana Steele and Christian Grey aren't very different. I would have thought that building upon Meyer's childish love story would have left James no where to go but up. I was wrong. Nevertheless, I slogged through the whole series. It wasn't the writing, characters, or plot line that kept me going. It was the sex. I don't mean that in a salacious way. As someone trying to promote a healthy sex-positive attitude in a culture that sometimes does exactly the opposite, I wanted to see what got so many normal American women reading a novel with more than a few elements of BDSM.
After reading all three books, I realized that it was not the sex or "forbidden" ideas of bondage and domination that kept these other women reading. It was the fact that this innocent, "smart" girl manages to change a "damaged" man. She takes him from only being capable of having relationships with women as his submissives to being a gentle, loving, vulnerable, albeit controlling boyfriend and eventually husband. I have heard women who loved the Fifty Shades series say that it's about compromise, choosing your battles, and finding a middle ground. This is partially true, but the changed habits and personalities in the book come about so quickly it's just not a healthy or realistic model. Whether it was on the playground or just last week, every woman as at one point thought that she could change or heal a desirable yet flawed partner with her love. In the vast majority, if not all cases, this simply does not happen, yet many delusional women continue to live the dream and end up hurt, under appreciated, and without her needs being met. I have been one of those delusional women, so I'm not passing judgement, but I don't think we need any more sources of pop culture encouraging us to try and change our lovers. It's not fair to either party.
Now onto the kink element of the series. James presents male lead Christian Grey's propensities towards beating little brown-haired girls as a way to work out his anger over the neglect he suffered from his drug-addicted mother. While I'm sure some people come into the BDSM lifestyle for reasons like those, that is just not a true or healthy representation of the BDSM or kink community. I believe that any sexual act between two consenting adults not closely related by blood is good and healthy. There are some (many) things I could never ever imagine myself doing, but that doesn't mean that it's wrong for others to have those experiences. If you and your partner truly want to experience something, and you both feel better after that experience, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I am pretty sure that those are the philosophies held by those in the kink community. Presenting a BDSM lifestyle as a symptom of or result of childhood abuse or trama is a gross and unfair misrepresentation. Still, the love-everyone, sex-positive, education-promoting part of me wants to believe that any work that gets people reading and revitalizing their sex lives is a good thing. Perhaps the kink lifestyle will never gain widestream acceptance or understanding, at least not in our culture. And even if it did, it would be a pretty tall order to expect that kind of revelation from a fan fic inspired tome of weak erotica for the masses.

Tutorials: Home Before Audio Feedback Effects of Audio Phasing Amplifier Gain 70/25 Volt Audio
(The original dimming of lamps was accomplished using Rheostats or Variacs)
1/ Dimming the lamps by adjusting the voltage.
These dimmers required a lot of space and used large controls to operate. The dimmers
had to be operated in the rack where they were housed (remote control panels where
Rheostats work by inserting a resistor in series with the lamp. When the lamp is dimmed, some of the wattage used for the circuit is converted to heat across the rheostat. This proves to be a very inefficient.
Power Calculations
According to the formula,
The voltage across the rheostat would now equal the voltage across the lamp
That is 60 Volts (1/2 of 120 volts)
Both the lamp and the rheostat are now using 25 watts each.
The lamp's wattage is mostly converted to light, but the rheostat's
wattage is all converted to wasted heat.
This is the worst case scenario for this configuration.
|In the real world situation, the calculated values will be slightly different, because the resistance of the lamp will change with heat. The rheostat will still dissipate a lot of heat at mid settings.
In the earlier days, the Variac was the preferred method used to dim stage lights.
It was expensive and bulky but didn't waste as much heat as the rheostats.
The same calculations apply to the variac, except that heat is not
wasted (except for the small efficency losses).
Aside from bad contacts while adjusting, these circuits do not induce noise on the power line
2/ Dimming the lamps by adjusting the on/off time.
With the advancement to solid state devices, a lot of dimmers were now being replaced
by Thyristor circuits. These circuits were smaller and could easily be remote controlled. This meant the heavy wiring could be in a remote room with a local consol controlling the dimmers.
|(SCR's and Triacs are members of the thyristor family)
To understand the Thyristor operation, a person must first understand the nature of the incoming AC Power Line.
|Unless a person is familiar working with live 120 VAC,
this test should not be performed.
The scope presentation shows the voltage on the Hot Line (Purple)
in reference to the Neutral line (Black).
The sinewave shows the variation of the voltage over time.
This property is used to vary the on-time of the circuit.
A Thyristor is fully off (open circuit), until it is triggered. Once triggered, it turns fully on (closed circuit).
It will stay on until the current is removed (in this case, when crossing zero volts), at which point it will turn off.
The SCR will only operate when the anode is positive to the cathode. Two SCR's can be placed back-to-back in order to operate with positive and negative voltages. A Triac is equivalent to two SCR's back-to-back.
To use the thyristor for dimming, a timing circuit is needed.
The timing circuit is reset and the thyristor turns off, every time the voltage reaches zero.
The duration of the timer within the half cycle of the sinewave, determines the brightness of the lamp.
Note: the duration of the trigger pulse remains constant.
When the timer interval is short, the lamp is brighter (the AC voltage is applied to the lamp earlier).
As the timer interval increases, the lamp gets dimmer.
The incandescent bulb is under severe stress when first turned on.
The heating and cooling of the filament causes it to expand and contract.
Dimmers are often set to maintain a minimum of 5-10% dimming voltage on the lamps.
This will keep the lamps preheated, thus avoiding some of the expansion and contraction. Preheat is set to keep the lamp filament at a slight glow when dimmed to the minimum.
The sinewave nature of the supply voltage will affect the linearity of the control.
As the control is adjusted from low light to full light, the adjustment will be slow at either end of the travel (low parts of the sinewave), and quicker in the center part of the travel.Often the control voltage is filtered to an "S" curve. This will modify the result for a more linear control.
A SquareWave consists of the sum of the fundamental and odd harmonics of a SineWave.
|For 60 Hz ... the square wave equals:
1st Harmonic (60 Hz sinewave ... Full Level)
+ 3rd harmonic (180 Hz sinewave ... 1/3 Level)
+ 5th harmonic (300 Hz sinewave ... 1/5 Level)
+ 7th harmonic (420 Hz sinewave ... 1/7 Level)
+ 9th harmonic (540 Hz sinewave ... 1/9 Level)
Etc (into Radio Frequencies)
The fast turn-on of the Dimmer Waveform produces harmonics in a similar manner.
Due to the nature of the dimming, these harmonics are produced
during each half cycle of the 60Hz power (ie 120 times a second).
The harmonics can extend into the Radio Frequencies.
These Radio Frequencies can get into audio amplifiers, and will sound
like a 120hz buzz. They can also cause disturbances in video lines.
Since the amplitude of the instantaneous rise in voltage is worse
at the 50% dimming, this is where the noise will be most prevalent.
To reduce the high frequency generated, the dimmers use chokes on each channel.
The choke will resist instantaneous changes in current, and will thus lessen
the steepness of the "Fast Rise Time".
|When energized, Inductors will generate a magnetic field. This
field (or lack of field) will prevent sudden current changes.
When the square wave changes from 0 volts to +10 Volts, the inductor will momentarily act like an open circuit (the full voltage will be across the
inductor). The current will then increase to the maximum in an exponential curve
(the voltage will decrease exponentially to zero across the inductor).
The inductor will now act like a short circuit.
|The Value of the Inductor is measured in henries (h).
The time for the inductor current to reach 63% of full value
equals 1 time constant
t = h / r
(t = time, h = henries, r = ohms)
An inductor is considered to have reached the
maximum voltage after 5 time constants
Similarily, when the squarewave changes from +10 Volts to 0 Volts, the collapsing magnetic field of the inductor will generate a negative voltage across the inductor. The current will then decrease to the minimum in an exponential curve (the voltage across the inductor will again decrease exponentially to zero).
The remaining voltage will be across the resistor (R).
In a similar manner, the Inductor will smooth the Dimmer Waveform, thus reducing the magnitude of the harmonics generated.
The early thyristor Dimmers used 0-10 volts to control each dimmer. A 60 hz sawtooth waveform is generated. The voltage (0-10) from the control is compared to the sawtooth, and fires the thyristor when they are equal.
This type of dimmer required one wire per dimmer plus 2 wires for the power supply (ground and +10 volts).
The cost and size of multiconductor wire to control dimmers,
prompted the development of new controls.
Serial controls are replacing most of the discrete 0-10 volt controls.
Two of the systems used are Micro-Plex and DMX-512.
Printed Circuit modules are available to retrofit the old 0-10 volt dimmers for serial control
The Micro-Plex uses an unbalanced line to ground for control.
A 3 pin XLR connector is used for connection between the Dimmers and the Control Panel.
|Pin #1: Ground (Shield)
Pin #2: +12 Volt
Pin #3: Serial Data
MPX will support 64 channels (some versions support up to 128 channels)
over a maximum distance of 125 feet. Microphone cable is often used.
The DMX 512 control uses a dual balanced line for control.
A 5 pin XLR connector is usually used for conection between the Dimmers and the Control Panel.
|Pin #1: Ground (Shield)
Pin #2: Serial Data #1-
Pin #3: Serial Data #1+
Pin #4: Serial Data #2-
Pin #5: Serial Data #2+
The second Serial line is unspecified.
Some DMX 512 systems will only use a 3 pin XLR, ignoring pins #5 and 6.
The DMX512 system uses the RS485 standard. The cable used should be 120 ohms low capacity. The Beldon 9841 (or Alpha 5271 ) is suggested or if using both pairs, Beldon 9842 (or Alpha 5272) will work. Microphone cable is not recommended, however Cat 5 cable can be substituted (in some conditions).
DMX512 data rate is 250 bits/second and can travel 1000 feet without amplification. 512 channels can be used, however a maximum of 32 devices (including the controller) can be daisy chained together. The last dimmer must be terminated in 120 ohms.
The Future.
Although the thyristor circuits create a lot of RF (Radio Frequency) noise, Audio and Video equipment should be able to avoid interference with careful attention to grounding, balanced circuits, and correct levels.
Different circuits have been developed to reduce this noise. The "Reverse Phase Control" will slightly reduce the interference. It will turn on the conduction at the zero voltage crossing , and will turn off the conduction part way through the cycle (ie exactly reverse of the previous description).
|The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)
is often used when the device is
required to turn off in mid cycle.
| Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor
... combination of MOSFet Drive
and Power Transistor.
A new method has been developed using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).
This method will chop the incomming sinewave into small pieces (one manufacturer divides the sinewave into 255 pieces). The on/off duration of the chopped waveform is then varied to change the brightness.
For demonstration purposes, I have shown the effects with the sinewave
only chopped 20 times (in actual circuits it would be much more).
|As the Input Frequency Increases, the Inductor has time to only partly
charge/discharge (still using the same curve). With still higher frequencies,
the choke will average the variations, resulting in a straight line.
This filtering will have a similar effect when used
with a chopped sinewave, resulting in a pure sinewave output.
Other means of filtering may be used by
manufacturers with the same effect.
By removing the sharp voltage changes, this circuit will eliminate the RF Noise.
These circuits are built today, but require
more circuitry and therefore are more expensive.

We joke that Orion eats like a viking. He sloshes his water, slams his milk cup down on the table or spikes it to the ground sending liquid flying and our dog scurrying. He grabs large handfuls of food, shoving them in his mouth in rapid succession, turning to us to let out a loud "mmmmmm" with a wide, toothy smile. Or, even better, he opens his mouth wide to show us all the contents he's been able to cram inside. If he decides he's not interested in a food, he either throws it piece by piece off his plate or even better just pitches the whole plate off the table. He's recently started using utensils and grips them in crudely in his fists. Nine times out of ten if he's actually able to get anything into his spoon, the contents end up spilling into his bib en route to his mouth (can I tell you all how much we love these bibs, seriously!) because he's trying to make eye contact with us to let us know how exciting this all is.
This quinoa bowl is what our little viking has been shoving into his mouth most recently. We fear Orion is on the brink of becoming a picky eater. It might just be that summer is in full swing and between his grandma showing him how to harvest berries and us taking him strawberry picking, he's pretty much on an all berry diet. Meals he's loved before have been dashed to the ground or pushed away with cries of "no, no, no." We've grown tired of cleaning all the nooks and crannies of our kitchen from food he's flung, although our dog is loving it, and we approach meals with a bit of trepidation and weariness. But luckily we've had a container of this salad we've been tinkering around with in the fridge, and it's come to our rescue several times this week.
We're hopeful that this is a bigger part of the Orion puzzle as he fully transitions into toddler-dom and tries to assert his fledgling independence. We're also cutting out all snacking. We're having a small amount of luck getting Orion to eat more of his meals, although he still demands his berries and is subsisting primarily off of an expensive combination of "sta-bees, blu-bees, and rap-bees." We're pretty sure this salad will please all picky and non-picky eaters and even those who eat more politely than our son.
Tips and Tricks:
- Cooking quinoa can be a tricky endeavor to get the balance of liquid to grains correctly and the right temperature to ensure your grains will be fully cooked by the time the liquid has been absorbed. We watch quinoa carefully during the last five minutes of cooking and keep stirring every minute or so to make sure it's not starting to stick to the pan. We can then keep an eye on whether or not the grains will be fully cooked by the time the water is gone so we can add more water a little at a time if need be to finish the cooking process. You know your quinoa is fully cooked when the germ of the kernel has pulled away in little golden curly-cues.
- You can start checking at 30 minutes to see if beets are roasted. When they're finished roasting, beets will be soft so that a fork will easily pierce the skin and meet no resistance as you push the fork to the center of the beet.
- We love roasted beets and add them to green salads and grain salads. They're a great first food to introduce kids to since they bridge the fruit and vegetable worlds with their sweet flavor. Roasting them wrapped in tinfoil is our favorite way to prep them for ease and depth of flavor. We recommend using golden beets though since they're much less likely to stain your fingers, your cutting board, anything you or your kid are wearing, etc. If you do use red beets, we simply make sure to peel them with dish gloves over the sink and rinse immediately after peeling them. We also use a plastic cutting board so it's easy to wipe down and avoid stains.
Golden Beet Quinoa Bowl
This is another simple yet versatile grain salad base trying to offer a nutrition-loaded meal in as short a time as possible. Feel free to customize based on what you have on hand. We've made this with goat cheese and arugula instead. I could see using other roasted vegetables in the fall/winter, maybe carrots and raisins with some warmer spices and spinach or maybe adding in cucumbers and tomatoes in the summer. This grain salad meets the soysugarsherry test of being adult-approved, and we've been sitting down to lunch this week with Orion and a bowl of this salad for ourself.
Quantity: Roughly 2 servings for a toddler and 2 lunch-sized portions for an adult
Time to Prepare: 1 hour (with only about 10 minutes of prep time)
1/2 cup of uncooked quinoa
1/2 cup chickpeas, rinsed
1/4 golden raisins
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 small beets roasted, diced into half-inch to quarter-inch pieces
1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted
1 tablespoon basil, slivered
1/2 a lemon
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven (or even better toaster oven) to 400 degrees. Cut greens off beets close to the top of the beet and wrap in tinfoil. Line a small cookie sheet with tinfoil and place the beets on top. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour (time will vary depending on how large the beets you have are). Let the beets rest until cool enough to handle. I like to roast the beets the day before and leave them wrapped in their tinfoil in the refrigerator to ease the prep for this dish. Once cooled, take beets and unwrap from the tinfoil. Using your hands, rub off the beet skins. Remove any residual roots or skin using a small paring knife. Then dice beets into 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch pieces depending on the age of your kiddo.
Combine 1/2 cup quinoa with 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, checking every 5 minutes to stir and make sure quinoa isn't starting to run out of water and sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add more water if necessary. Once the quinoa is fully cooked, dump the contents of the pan into a fine mesh strainer to drain any remaining water, then return the quinoa to the pan and cover. Let sit for another 10 – 15 minutes to dry out any remaining water so the quinoa will be dry and fluffy and ingredients will more readily mix in.
Meanwhile, prep other ingredients. Dice the beets (see above). Toast the pine nuts and sliver the basil into thin pieces. Using a large bowl, spoon the quinoa in and then add the beets, pine nuts, raisins, and chickpeas. Squeeze the lemon over the quinoa and add some salt and pepper then gently toss. Once ingredients are incorporated add the basil and feta cheese and gently toss again. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed then eat like a very healthy but boisterous viking.
