Battery charger
A battery charger uses mains electricity to charge storage batteries.
A battery charger is not usually part of an independent power plant because mains electricity is not usually available where an independent power plant is used. Mobile applications such as motor homes and boats may use a battery charger when mains electricity is available and it is more convenient to recharge the storage battery bank from the mains.
Charging storage batteries is a critical process; incorrect management of the charging process will damage the storage battery bank and may reduce its working life by half or more, and the storage battery bank is the most expensive single component in a hybrid independent power plant.
To get the best life from you storage batteries the charger must perform a three-stage process. Not all battery charging performs the full three-stage process. The very simplest battery chargers monitor the charge in the storage battery bank and stops charging it when it is fully charged. More complex battery chargers also disconnect the load circuit when the charge in the storage battery bank is too low, and there is likelihood of damaging it. The most sophisticated battery chargers will perform the complete three-stage charging process.
One Eniquest product, the uninterruptable power supply (UPS), incorporates a high-powered battery charger because it is not an independent power plant. The Eniquest UPS supports poor quality or unreliable site or mains power, and guarantees high-quality power with the least amount of fuss.

New concerns on sulfonylurea use
New research has fanned smouldering concerns over the safety of sulfonylureas for treating diabetes.
UK research, published online by Diabetologia, found adding in sulfonylureas to metformin significantly raised mortality.
The research supports the findings of a previous Canadian study reported in Pulse in January which found sulfonylureas raised the risk of total mortality and deaths from ischaemic events.
Study leader Dr Josie Evans, lecturer at the University of Dundee's faculty of medicine, said: 'Our research is in agreement with their analysis of the risks. People on sulfonylureas did have higher mortality.' Of 5,730 patients in the study, 1,000 died during the eight-year follow-up.
After adjusting for confounders, those on sulfonylureas alone had a 43 per cent higher risk of mortality than those on metformin monotherapy.
Patients on sulfonylureas and metformin had a 2.47-fold increased risk.
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency already investigating the issue after the Canadian study said it would consider the new data. 'Existing advice stands at the current time until this review is concluded,' said a spokeswoman.

Confined within my keeper's will.
I'm under his password.
He is my darling warlock.
His torrid eyes are black as coals.
His shadow touches the ninth step on a stairway.
And in his chest I hear the thunder rumble.
Listen to his incantations.
They are the music, the arms, and the footsteps.
Voice of the wind has conjugated us far above and beyond shreds of clouds.
The ocean ravenously drinks passion from wells at night,
From the eyes of firmament, just as burning and obscure as my keeper's eyes.
When the moon sighs, the horizon strokes the abyss, and the ocean makes a move.
When lightning strikes, a thousand spines arch in a storm.
And so they whisper, stars and tides.
And so they talk, wings of a bee and a heart of a flower.
Don't know what they say precisely, but there is always honey after.
I've noticed too there is nothing silent about a face turned to the shore and a handkerchief trembling in the mist.
I'm under his spell.
My eyes lose vision but my hearing sharpens.
And I just can hear that everything is in lucid prayer, and everything is in vivid conversation.
– Inhale, baby. Say the password. Now exhale. Inhale again.
– Hush, my darling… Please let me hear what the surf whispers out there…

I've been dropping the new science and kicking the new knowledge, an MC to a degree that you can't get in college. – The Beastie Boys, "The Sounds of Science," Paul's Boutique
When I started this blog I weighed 236.6 pounds. My eating habits and daily menu have been overhauled, I'm walking a minimum of three miles per day and I am making a concerted effort to not overdo it when it comes to lapses in willpower. I have long maintained that I will not starve myself during this journey.
I have documented my inability to stay off the scale because I need to see progress in order for me to maintain my motivation. I'm using Nike products such as a Fuel Band and the Nike+ app and online tools to help.
About 10 days ago I weighed in at 227.8. My normal weigh-in day is Wednesday and I was out of town this past Wednesday. So, I weighed myself Tuesday and checked in at 225.6. That is an even 11 pounds. I was in Austin, Texas, for work and I was afraid I'd misbehave. I went to the hotel fitness center only once. I got in a really good lift and 20 minutes on the treadmill. Since I was worried I slipped I got on the scale yesterday morning and weighed in at 225 even.
The recumbent bike is in the house and assembled and I have resumed my walks. During my three-mile walk yesterday I had some dull pain in my left leg but the excruciating pain of the shin splints is gone. Resting it for a few days has done wonders. With the recumbent in the house I now have another option for some cardio if the weather is bad or the shin splints come back.
When I started this my man Tom B. told me to take before pictures (which you will never see) and find the photo of my ideal and put them side-by-side. It has taken me a long time to figure out who or what I could find as the ideal. I watched Skyfall recently with Daniel Craig. He is almost a year older than me and is the same height. He is 10 pounds lighter than my first goal. Craig is 180 pounds. The goal I set when I started is 190 pounds. I found his workout and diet online. It involves quite a bit of weight lifting. His eating habits are not far off from mine.
I know that I am no movie star. I have the perfect face for radio. However, if I can come close to that physique, level of strength and fitness I'll be doing something. I realize there are other factors such as genetics that are in play here. But I'm going to make an attempt to go all 007.
To that end, I've made a decision that pains me a little bit.
During various stages of my adult life I have enjoyed the sanctity of a home office. It has been a workspace, a refuge and a place for reflection. My current home office is a bit of a shrine to my late parents who died in 2006 and 2007, respectively. The things I inherited from them that hold the most value to me are in there. My father's vinyl record collection, some of my mom's collectibles, books, CDs, mementos and keepsakes are in a 360° swivel chair viewI also have a giant desk. Perched on this desk is a 30-inch Dell computer monitor. Yes, 30 inches of screen. My Dell XPS 700 is known as the Enterprise – it's that big. It seems like I only ever turn on this electricity suck when I want to run virus scans and install Windows updates, and file my taxes with TurboTax. It has surround sound with amazing THX-certified speakers and an eight-inch sub that would put some movie theaters to shame. Thump, thump, thump. This thing generates heat and it becomes very uncomfortable to stay in my office for any length of time.
I have a small roll-top writing desk that I inherited from my folks that will be replacing the giant Ikea monstrosity (it may find a home in the garage). The Enterprise will be retired. I use my MacBook Pro when work at home anyway. The parental shrine will remain but I will be clearing space to convert my home office into a weight room. I hope to get out today and pick up the weight bench and weights. I do like the resistance bands and those will serve me well as a portable way to work out when I don't have free weights at my disposal. It'll hurt to give up my office in its current configuration but sacrifices must be made.
Looking at the Daniel Craig workout, I need free weights to do this. I will not get a gym membership. I'm just not going to leave the house for an hour at night, and I value sleep too much as an apnea sufferer to get up early enough in the morning to go.
I'm looking forward to walking near my office tomorrow. Six days will have passed since the squirrels have seen me. I wonder what they have in store for me. They've had way too many hours to plot and scheme like Mario C. Come at me squirrel. When you see my mug on the back of a milk carton you'll know why. You just don't invite that kind of varmint danger without suffering the consequences.
So, I've lost almost 12 pounds since I started this mess. Now it's time to accelerate this and kick it up a notch. I have to train for the inevitable showdown with the squirrels.
A few friends I reconnected with in Austin have become new readers of The Jerry Project and I thank you. I hope you keep reading.

The contexts of change
Within organizations, resistance to change comes in many forms. Some organizations suffer from a specific type of dysfunctional administrative behavior that responds to new ideas with a 'lemming-like' leap to irrelevance. This article explores some common characteristics that underlie this phenomenon and proposes that organizational resistance to many good ideas stems from this roadblock mentality. People's habitual contexts and belief-systems tend to blind them to new ideas, products, or different ways of thinking. Typically, people will try to challenge any proposed change with irrelevant and distracting side issues, and divert the conversation toward their own specific grievances or agendas.

Borneo is a large island in the Malay Archipelago of Southeast Asia. People visit Borneo for its beaches and rainforest which attract a wide variety of wildlife, from orangutans to leopards. Parts of the island look like the Amazon while other parts are more reminiscent of the Carribean. Here's why you should take a trip to Borneo as soon as you get the chance.
You'll find wildlife all over the place in Borneo, but the best part is how unique that wildlife is. The rainforest and its rivers are home to tons of different species of frog, crocodiles, fireflies, and more. If you take a trip to the Matang Wildlife Centre in Kubah National Park, you can watch young orangutans learn the basics from their handlers. You can even learn about the preservation of the rainforests and get a chance to see the destruction firsthand. These are just some of the reasons why the wildlife in Borneo is incredibly special.
One thing you have to do during your visit to Borneo is soak up some culture. Whether you find a family to stay with while you're on the island or you're simply visiting a village to say hello, there's nothing quite like experiencing authentic cultures that are so different from yours. You'll have the chance to try new foods, hear stories about the island and its history, and get a taste of the hospitality that Borneo—and all of Malay—is known for. If you're going to stay with a family, be sure to make arrangements before your trip.
The holy trinity of Borneo tourism is completed by nature, something Borneo has in spades. Not only is Borneo a beautiful island, it's also one of the more unique islands you'll find in the world. There are parts of Borneo that resemble the Amazon rainforest, but there are also parts that look like a beautiful beach in Cancun. This gives you the unique opportunity to experience a variety of nature without having to travel far.
There are plenty of reasons to visit Borneo—these are just three. But if you do visit, make sure you get a good taste of the wildlife, culture and nature in Borneo.

" She has a master's degree in secondary English education and has worked as a high school English teacher. Updated March 19, 2018 Reading comprehension is one of the most difficult things to master on a standardized test. The test-makers evaluate skills like finding the main idea, making inferences, determining the author's purpose, and understanding vocabulary words, some of which you may have never been introduced to you before. The good news? You can understand vocabulary words based on the context of the passage - the words, clauses, and phrases around the unknown vocabulary word. You don't have to memorize all the vocabulary words in the dictionary! Vocabulary Words in Context Example You might not understand the word, acerbity, by itself, but this sentence, "The acerbity of the lemon caused the little girl to spit out the bite she had just taken" helps you understand that the general meaning of acerbity must be "bitter or sour". The context clues "lemon" and "spitting out the bite," which provide more information in the sentence, help you understand what the vocabulary word means. Vocabulary Words In Context on a Test A question on a standardized test may look something like this: After the first day on the job, the bank's new manager realized he would be busier than he had been led to believe. Not only was he assisting the bank tellers with their work, but his new boss had decided to inundate him with other tasks like creating security systems, managing the bank's deposits and refunds, securing loans, and maintaining the daily operations. The new manager was exhausted as he locked the bank up for the night. The word "inundate" from the passage is closest in meaning to: overloadprovideassaultunderwhelm Hint: A way to figure out if your choice is correct is by putting the answer choice in the sentence in place of the vocabulary word. Which one fits the intended meaning the best? You're right. It's "overload." The first choice is the best pick, although "assault" is a close second. The only way that one would work is if the tone of the passage had been more negative. Understanding Vocabulary Words in Context Exercise Try to determine the meanings of the following italicized vocabulary words, based on the context clues in the sentences.Skill level: Easy Pablo always showed animosity toward his teachers by throwing spitballs and mouthing off, but his sister Mary was kind and sweet.The little girl was showing signs of ocular problems - she squinted to read the blackboard and complained of headaches after working on the computer for too long.The crowd rewarded the singer with plaudits, or extreme praise, by clapping and cheering during a standing ovation.Elena's repudiation of Jerry's bad table manners was obvious to everyone at dinner as she dropped her napkin and left the table.From the far past to the present day, the moon has been thought to cause lunacy.

|Brace for impact.
Arrival[1] is the first level of Halo 3. It does not contain actual gameplay, consisting instead of a look inversion test on lower difficulties, and the game's opening cutscenes.
In Heroic and Legendary, the only point in playing this level is because players cannot get the Campaign Complete for the Heroic and Legendary Achievements without doing so.
The Master Chief crashes in an African jungle near Mount Kilimanjaro and is eventually recovered by Thel 'Vadam (the Arbiter), Sergeant Major Avery Johnson, and several Marines. After a brief confrontation with 'Vadam, the Chief arms himself and prepares to move out.
It is a night sky: several bright pinpoints of white light, stars, hang in the center. It's a tranquil forest, with lush forestry and a winding river. Then, Cortana's voice begins whispering in voice-overs.
- Cortana (V.O.): "You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be."
As the camera pans down, something comes into view entering the atmosphere, trailing flames splitting the night sky. Although it is not recognizable at this time, it is the Prophet of Truth's Dreadnought.
- Cortana (V.O.): "Like the others, you were strong and swift and brave. A natural leader."
The fireball comes nearer, at an oblique angle to the camera.
- Cortana (V.O.): "But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me."
A second, lesser fireball breaks off from the main one. It moves at an oblique angle to the first, in the direction of the camera. It moves closer while the first vanishes behind a spray of trees.
- Cortana (V.O.): "Can you guess?"
The object moves even nearer, and its trajectory begins to curve until it is heading directly for the camera.
- Cortana (V.O.): "Luck."
The fireball roars past the camera and smashes into the ground with an earth-shattering impact. Cortana's last words are tinged with humor.
- Cortana (V.O.): "Was I wrong?"
Fades to black.
View down towards the forest, with the sun streaming through the trees onto the smoking ruin where the object hit ground. In the foreground, an armored gauntlet is visible. In the background, several Marines move around; First Squad. The one in the back wears a Sergeant's cap. The Marines of First Squad anxiously observe an object just below the view position.
- Marine #1: "This ain't good."
- Marine #2: "Damn. How far did he fall?"
The Sergeant in the hat takes a long drag on his cigar and blows out smoke. He turns around, revealing he is Sergeant Major Avery J. Johnson.
- Marine #3: "Two kilometers, easy."
- Sergeant Johnson: "Stay sharp!"
The Marines move closer to the object while one aims his gun to the left then the right of the camera watching for any sign of the enemy. The object is finally revealed to be the Master Chief. He lies at one end of the impact crater. The Marines move closer to the Chief, taking up combat positions. One sits down beside him and takes out a small computer.
- Sergeant Johnson: "Corpsman?"
- Marine Corpsman: "His armor's locked up. Gel layer could have taken most of the impact..."
He taps something in on the computer. With a hiss, the Chief's outstretched arms collapse onto his chest. The Marine checks for vital signs. No readings.
- Marine Corporal: "I don't know, Sergeant Major..."
Johnson kneels by the side of his fallen friend and places a hand on his chest, feeling for breath, or any sign that the man is alive. He inadvertently breathes smoke into the Chief's face. After a few seconds, he sighs sadly, reaches behind the Chief's head and pulls Cortana's empty chip out of his helmet.
- Sergeant Johnson: "Radio for VTOL, heavy lift gear. We're not leaving him here."
He looks down and realize the chip is empty. An armored hand reaches up and grabs Johnson's wrist.
- Master Chief Petty Officer John-117: "Yeah. You're not."
The Chief pushes himself slowly to his feet.
- Sergeant Johnson: (sighing) "Crazy fool! Why do you always jump? One of these days, you're gonna land on somethin' as stubborn as you are! And I don't do bits and pieces!"
The Chief says nothing. Instead, he reaches down and takes Cortana's chip from the Sergeant's hand and lets go of his arm.
- Sergeant Johnson: "Where is she, Chief? Where's Cortana?"
The Chief stares at the data crystal, and for a second, Cortana's face flashes across the screen, along with an echo from the previous game.
- Cortana (V.O.): "Don't make a girl a promise...if you know you can't keep it."
Johnson gives him a confused look.
- John-117: "She stayed behind."
The Chief inserts the chip into the port at the back of his helmet.
- Sergeant Johnson: "Corporal? Make it quick."
- Marine Corporal: "Sorry, sir. (to Master Chief) Your armor's still in partial lockdown."
Note: This sequence only appears if playing on single player and on Easy or Normal difficulty.
The Corporal gives him a screen with a red light.
- Marine Corporal: "Look up here, sir."
It goes green when the Master Chief looks at it.
- Marine Corporal: "Okay. Now down here."
If the calibration doesn't work:
- Marine Corporal: "Tracking looks off, Sergeant Major."
- Sergeant Johnson: "Make it quick, we've got to move."
- Marine Corporal: "Up here, sir."
The Chief looks up.
- Marine Corporal: "Again, down here."
The Chief looks down.
- Marine Corporal: "Good. (to Johnson) Everything checks out, Sergeant Major."
- Sergeant Johnson: "Kick off the training wheels, Corporal. He's good to go."
The Chief looks around, taking in his surroundings. Somewhere near him is a familiar sight... the heat-wave effect of a Covenant Active camouflage. Johnson gives it a nod. A Sangheili decloaks, revealing itself to be the Arbiter, Thel 'Vadam. The Master Chief moves with fluid grace, brushing aside Johnson and another Marine next to 'Vadam, drawing Johnson's pistol from its holster.
- Sergeant Johnson: "Chief, wait!"
The Master Chief jams the pistol between 'Vadam's mandibles.
- Sergeant Johnson: "The Arbiter's with us!"
'Vadam glares at the Master Chief, but shows no sign of discomfort nor makes any move to point the gun away from himself. The Chief hesitates to lower his gun.
- Sergeant Johnson: "Come on now."
Johnson places a hand on the Chief's shoulder.
- Sergeant Johnson: "We got enough to worry about without you two trying to kill each other!"
The Spartan slowly lowers his gun. 'Vadam clacks his mandibles together: a shrug.
- Arbiter Thel 'Vadam: "Were it so easy."
Thel Vadam makes to move past the Master Chief, but the Spartan pushes him back. 'Vadam turns and walks away.
- Thel 'Vadam: "We must go. The Brutes have our scent."
- Sergeant Johnson: (Easy/Normal) "Then they must love the smell of green."
- Sergeant Johnson: (Heroic) "Then they must love the smell of hero."
- Sergeant Johnson: (Legendary, variant 1): "Then they must love the smell of bad ass."
- Sergeant Johnson: (Legendary, variant 2) "Then they must love the smell of bad ass. And I left a little present for you, Arbiter. And I'm walking away. Ha-ha-ha!"
- Sergeant Johnson: (Legendary, variant 3) "Then they must love the scent of testosterone."
- Sergeant Johnson: (Legendary, variant 4) "Then they must love the scent of a real man."
- Sergeant Johnson: (Legendary, variant 5) "Then they must love the smell of Bulgari. Yeah, I'm doing a little product placement! I gotta get paid, too!"
He grabs an assault rifle from a nearby Marine and holds it out to the Chief. The Spartan snatches it swiftly, as if annoyed by 'Vadam.
Fades to black.
Level ends.
- Main article: Glitches
- As soon as one can move, go forward and press the Y button about one second before the border fades out. The M6G pistol will just randomly appear on the screen.
- Sometimes on Heroic or Legendary, the words, "Your armor is still in partial lockdown," appear during the loading screen of Sierra 117.
- The name may be a reference to Halo's predecessor, Marathon, an earlier Bungie game, in which "Arrival" is also the name of the first level.
- The Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack Bits and Pieces is a reference to a quote by Johnson during this level: "And I don't do bits and pieces!"
- Arrival is the first tutorial level in the Halo Trilogy not to take place on a human space vessel orbiting a celestial body. Halo: Combat Evolved's very first level was on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn orbiting the Halo mega-structure and Halo 2's first level was set on the UNSC MAC defense platform Cairo in a geosynchronous orbit around Earth.
- At the data pad the Marine carries, one can see an X-Ray of Master Chief's helmet revealing his skull. To the left of the Master Chief's skull, there is a photo of what could be the Master Chief's face. However, the picture could be the Corpsman's for object identification purposes.
- Contrary to what players might think, the Master Chief did not land on Earth using just his MJOLNIR armor as protection. At the other end of the crater is a metallic object, suggesting the Chief ripped it out of the Forerunner Dreadnought and rode it down to Earth. A page in The Art of Halo 3 supports this theory. Also, the metallic object appears to be a Forerunner door of some sort due to the support bracing on one side, as many Forerunner doors do seen in Halo 2. And in the Halo Encyclopedia it shows the Master Chief using a piece of metal for protection as he enters the atmosphere.
- The Master Chief appears for the first time in Halo 3 at precisely 1 minute and 17 seconds into the cutscene, when the camera descends to reveal his outstretched arm. This is both a reference to his number (117) and to seven because it is 77 seconds in.
- It should be noted that in Arrival, re-entry occurs before sunrise, and in the Landfall miniseries, re-entry occurs after sunrise (though they are in different places). The Landfall miniseries takes place in Pakistan, accounting for the time difference.
- When the corpsman is inspecting John-117, Johnson addresses the corpsman as corporal. This is possibly an error as corpsman are Navy units, and the rank of corporal is Army/Marines. It is known that both Marine and Navy ranks are included in the game as John-117 is a Master Chief Petty Officer, and several other characters from the game also have Navy ranks (such as those about any UNSC ships like Lt. Command Miranda Keyes.)

Airbnb rental home shut down for lack of business license
July 17, 2018
Troy, AL
By Jacob Holmes
Matt West says he was caught off guard by the need to secure a business license before renting his home on Airbnb.
West, who owns a three-bedroom home on Spradley Drive in the Country Club neighborhood, said he was unaware of any zoning issues or the need to get a business license when he began renting his home on the Airbnb website about a year ago.
City Clerk Alton Starling said West has been sent a cease and desist letter to stop the rental of the home.
I had no clue that I would need a business license, West said. This kind of caught me off guard. Im working right now on trying to straighten it out.
Confusion over city regulations regarding home rentals surfaced in recent weeks, with the opening of The Station, a property specifically designed for short-term rentals located in downtown Troy. That property falls within allowed zoning ordinances, but city officials have discovered other rental listings which do not have business licenses or proper zoning exemptions.
For example, Wests home is located in R1 (low residential) zoning, which Troy planning and zoning administrator Melissa Sanders said has no allowance for short-term rental situations, called a tourist home.
A tourist home is defined in the zoning ordinance as a single-family dwelling rented or leased for short-term accommodations for terms of no less than two nights nor more than six months. Such properties are typically single-family homes that vacationers can rent and occupy as if it were their own home for the duration of their stay. Such homes must still conform to occupancy requirements and regulations for the district in which they are located. For the purpose of these provisions, holiday cottages, holiday homes or vacation properties shall be considered a tourist home.
RR (reserved residential) zoning and R3 (high-residential) zoning both have provisions for allowing a tourist home on exception, Sanders said. Examples of RR neighborhoods include Oak Park, Prospect Ridge and Palos Verdes, while R3 zoning includes Hubbard Street, Aster Avenue, Dunbar Drive, South Knox Street and Folmar Street.
R1 and R2 (medium residential) zoning do not have those provisions, Sanders said. Examples of R1 neighborhoods include Second Avenue, University Avenue, Magnolia Street, Country Club, Forest Circle and Murphree Street. R2 neighborhoods include Montgomery Street, Segars Street and Orion Street
In R3 zoning, rooming, tourist, and boarding houses can be permitted on appeal only if the floor area for such proposed use shall not exceed 75 percent of the total floor area of the residence.
Although R1 and R2 zoning have no provisions allowing tourist homes, Sanders said any resident can come before the board of adjustments to make a request for the designation. The approval process would include a public hearing, and that adjustment exemption would be required before a business license is issued.
In addition to the zoning requirements, city officials have said Airbnb owners need a business license to operate, which is required for any business conducted within the city limits. Starling said lodging tax must also be collected by those in the business of renting out a home.
West said his home, a three-bedroom residence, had typically been rented out for several weeks at a time.
Ive mainly rented it out over 30 to 45 days, West said. (Airbnb) is filling a need for people travelling with a large family, giving them a space to all be together and cook meals, not having to go out for everything or staying in multiple rooms in a hotel. Its a different niche.
Wests home was one of four Troy homes recently listed on Airbnb, a popular website that offers peer-to-peer short-term rental homes.
Two of the other residences are downtown, which allows for rental homes. Another home on Trojan Way, listed as the Trojan Lodge, received special approval as a short-term vacation home and event venue in 2014, before the city created the tourist home definition in 2015.
Sanders said city officials are still researching how other cities have approached the regulation of Airbnb homes and other similar rental properties.
We are still looking into Airbnbs (and similar rentals), Sanders said. Its relatively new and other cities have looked into this I know that Tuscaloosa amended their zoning ordinance in July of 2017 to regulate them With anything new and outside the box, we have to research it to make sure were doing whats best for our city as a whole.
The Airbnb company was founded in 2008 in San Francisco and has grown into a worldwide network of short-term rental homes. The company has more than 5 million lodging listings on its website and it doesnt own any of them. Instead, individual homeowners contact Airbnb to become a host home the company collects a 3 percent host service fee and a guest services fee of up to 20 percent for the stay.

If you were given a choice to change one thing about your life what would that be?
Hmm, I try to enjoy life as much as possible and not think too much about that, I mean, I am living out my dream! But, I would probably wish that my family was closer. My parents are in Puerto Rico (not a bad place to call home:) ) and my other siblings are in Northern California and NYC – so I would love to be around them more 🙂 I'm the youngest of 4… probably explains that answer!

How do you wish to utilise technology for transforming the sport of water polo?
My partner and I not only have a passion for the sport, but to share our passion and to help the sport grow. Tony Azevedo (5x Olympian) and I have come together to create 6-8 Sports. 6-8 Sports contains a data-driven water polo app to help athletes maximize their game and track trends in their play. This data will help youth see their potential and we provide the tools to help them exceed it! We also use our 6-8 Challenge, similar to a combine – a series of water polo specific tests, as the first universal measurable in our sport. Through all of the data collected, kids will be able to compare their 'number' to athletes from all over the world and continue to improve it! ( 68 Sports, Earn Your Number. )

There is nothing like training your mind and body next to incredible, independent, and strong woman in order to achieve a goal. There is a great confidence and pride that comes with it, one that is irreplaceable. I'm lucky to have water polo and my teammates to help me find this, but it is all around us! We are lucky :)!

Oct. 12 – GAMBIER, Ohio - Despite a strong, second-half effort, the Hiram College women's soccer team dropped a 3-1 decision to Kenyon College in North Coast Athletic Conference action on Wednesday afternoon.
The first half was controlled by the hosts, as the ladies got on the board in the third minute thanks to a goal by Emma Klug.
15 minutes later, Kenyon (5-5-2, 3-0-1 NCAC), who entered the game tied at the top of the conference standings, tallied their second goal, getting a header of a corner kick from Brianna Maggard. Maggard would notch her second of the game in the 43rd minute, and the Terriers would enter the half trailing 3-1.
The field tilted in favor of the hosts in the first 45 minutes, as the Ladies outshot the Terriers by a margin of 13-4, including five shots on net.
In the second half, the Terriers (3-8-1, 0-4 NCAC) showed their fight, as they controlled the later stages of the match. Hiram outshot Kenyon 10-1 in the closing stanza, placing four of their ten shots on goal.
The Terriers broke through in the 84th minute, when Allie Glatt directed a deflection off the keeper into the back of the net. The assist was given to Jasmine Kemp, as her shot led to the deflection and eventual goal.
The assist marked the first of the year for Kemp, while Glatt is now tied for the team lead in goals with Katelyn Mauch (4). Glatt also upped her point total to 12 on the season, and 77 for her career, sitting just six away from the all-time career mark.
Hiram will be back in action on Tuesday, October 18, when they play host to Allegheny College. The NCAC matchup at Charles A. Henry Field is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start.

Employee surveys can be used to find out about how employees feel about their jobs, colleagues and the organization. Today, effective organizational changes grounded in employee survey results have been identified as a key performance driver for 21st century companies. However, employee surveys are complex tools with a variety of potential pitfalls that can "rock the organizational boat". What data should be collected? How often? How much is too much? How can survey results be translated into organizational changes? Which stakeholders should be involved, how and when? What role does communication play? How can digital technologies be leveraged? How can organizational and economic impact be measured? Dr Marcus B Müller is a Professor of Management at the Jack Welch College of Business in Luxembourg. He is an organizational psychology expert who has gained significant practical experience with employee surveys (a) as an employee during his 16 year career in industry, (b) as a scientist applying employee surveys in his research studies and (c) as a consultant advising companies on employee engagement, health, well-being and performance in Luxembourg and abroad.

Driving down Eldorado Parkway in McKinney last night I happened upon a slew of sign-holding, flag-waving folks staging themselves a protest thinly disguised as a "tea party." Embarrassingly lame.
"Bailouts Steal Our Children!" read one sign. "You Can't Multiply Wealth By Dividing It!" screamed another. And my personal fave: "Obama is the Real Pirate!"
Really? Sorry, but I don't get it.

Nope, no tea for me. I'm good.

Automotive Upholstery Market
The global automotive upholstery market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.92% during the forecast period of 2018–2023. Leather and vinyl upholstery will see the highest growth during the forecast period.
Growing Demand for Comprehensive Interiors
Automotive upholstery is a vital part of interiors, both in the line fit and retrofit market, where seats alone, account for 5% of the vehicle's cost and 6% of its weight. Car buyers, especially in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions are very particular about the interiors of the vehicle. They demand relatively better quality of upholstery than their European counterparts. This trend will propel the growth of the premium upholstery market. In addition, super luxury car sales, across the globe, in 2016 increased to 15.9% over 2015, which was majorly fueled by the growing demand in United States, followed by the United Kingdom, and China.
Source: JATO/ Mordor Intelligence Analysis
The Asia-Pacific region, led by China, Japan, and India, is currently the largest market for automotive upholstery and is expected to lead the growth in the forecast period.
Customization in Upholstery Expanded Aftermarket Share
The original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are expected to register faster growth than the aftermarket but the aftermarket suppliers will also experience expansion. Factors, such as greater customization trends, rising mechatronics in automotive upholstery design, and the rise in the affordability range of buyers, significantly contributed to the aftermarket share of about 30% of the automotive upholstery market. The average cost of vehicles is increasing gradually in the Asia-Pacific region and this will boost the market for the original equipment manufacturers.
Key Developments in the Automotive Upholstery Market:
- April 2016: Faurecia's Cover Carving Technology for automotive seats, has won the Automotive News PACE Award. The technology was successful in cutting the tooling costs by 80% and is 50% lighter than a plastic back panel.
- In 2016: Mercedes-Benz banged first in the global luxury brand sales pushing back BMW and Audi, where the Mercedes-Benz models majorly supplied with standard Tunja fabric for Upholstery.
Automotive Upholstery Market Major Players:
- Faurecia.
- Johnson Controls.

If you run into problems with Dynare that you can't seem to resolve by looking at the manual, the Dynare Forum is a good place to turn. If you're a beginner, odds are someone else has run into the same problem as you, so make sure you search the forum for similar questions. Otherwise, feel free to make an account and ask a question yourself. If you're a more experienced user, heading to the forum from time to time will allow you to learn the intricacies of Dynare and you might just be able to help out someone else out!
Mailing List
If you would like to be informed of recent Dynare news by email (new releases, Summer School, and Conference dates), feel free to sign up to receive notifications. This is a low traffic list; you'll receive at least 2 and on average 4 emails per year, depending on how many releases we create.
Summer School
We organize a weeklong summer school every year in June where we teach students how to use Dynare. The fee for students is minimal (equal to expenses on lunches and one dinner) so as to encourage participation. If this interests you, please keep a look out for the opening of the application period in April.
Quick Start
For those who want to quickly have something running, the Quick Start page explains how to setup Dynare on Windows and to run your first model file.
The Dynare Manual is the best place to go to understand the Dynare syntax,
commands, and options. The
.html versions of the manual are
distributed with each Dynare release and also available here:

- Schmitt-Grohe, Stephanie & Uribe, Martin, 2003. "Closing small open economy models," Journal of International Economics, vol. 61(1), pages 163-185, October
The database now covers more than 100 models, ranging from small-, medium- and large-scale DSGE models to earlier-generation New-Keynesian models with rational expectations and more traditional Keynesian-style models with adaptive expectations. It includes models of the United States, the Euro Area, Canada, and several small open emerging economies. Some of the models explicitly incorporate financial frictions.
Johannes Pfeifer's collection of Dynare models
A collection of Dynare models that demonstrates Dynare best practices, providing mod files to replicate important models.
Dynare Toolboxes
Ambrogio Cesa-Bianchi's toolbox for the analysis of DSGE models estimated with Bayesian techniques
This toolbox uses the standard output of Dynare to: (i) plot the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), (ii) plot the ergodic distribution of the posterior distribution, (iii) plot the prior versus the posterior distribution, together with the mode of the posterior, (iv) assess the convergence of the MCMC chain through CUSUM procedure, and (v) compare the correlation between the estimated parameters implied by both the Hessian and the chain. The toolbox makes use of few MATLAB routines of Dynare 4.3.
A set of routines that solve models with occasionally binding constraints using Dynare.

Various bits of information such as new or undocumented features, development plans, and known and fixed bugs.
Originally written by Ondra Kamenik, Dynare++ is a C++ library that computes higher order approximations of DSGE models via a perturbation method. It is available as a standalone executable program (shipped with the Dynare installer) and is also used by Dynare to compute third order approximations.
