I have tried every diet. I lost the weight but always gained it back. I even had gastric bypass and was not able to maintain my weight loss. My sister, Laura, made me an appointment at Ageless Medical Weight Loss and MedSpa. Four and half months later, I lost 60 pounds. But the most remarkable part of my story is that I have been able to maintain my weight loss.
For some reason I have been getting lots of interest lately in the Metabolic Balance weight loss programme. These spikes of interest are usually down to some type of celebrity endorsement. Sam Smith and Boy George have both helped to raise the profile of the programme in the past. I am not sure quite sure who is behind it this time around, but I will put money on it some high profile person has attributed their dramatic weight loss to the Metabolic Balance.
Ultrashape – no pain, no downtime, effective fat reduction system. An alternative to liposuction for targeted pockets of unwanted and hard to shift fat such as saddle bags and post baby tummies. Now with the newest transducer head, we can successful treat areas that are hard to tackle – inner thighs, arms and knees quickly and effectively. It is a truly non-invasive procedure with no needles, no incisions, no scars and no recovery time.
We don't believe in extreme calorie restriction, cutting food groups completely from your diet, depletion protocols that look to dehydrate you so you look good for about a day (the day of your photoshoot!) or training you to the point of injury or exhaustion. Instead we take a much more measured yet highly effective method that will yield fantastic results that are still visible months later.
"I had heard lots of stories about slimming pills, so I was naturally skeptical about attending a clinic. The doctor prescribed for me a course of tablets and a diet. I did not take them for the first week because of my doubts but I have to say, that apart from a dry mouth for the first few days, they were marvelous and I lost weight almost like magic. Yes, they worked and were safe."
I was fed up with being tired, living an unhealthy lifestyle and struggling to deal with the everyday stresses that life brings us. Then I found Monica, a qualified nutritionist and lifestyle guru, who helped me change my whole way of thinking about my lifestyle. Monica encouraged and supported me throughout my journey, in fact she walked the journey with me. Her insight into my condition was simply amazing. Her knowledge and understanding of the direction I needed to take was exceptional. In five months I feel so much better, I have got my zest for life back and I have the added bonus of losing an amazing amount of weight in a healthy way, all of which wouldn't have been possible without Monica's support and help. Monica is simply superb and would I recommend her to someone else – absolutely in a heartbeat.
A variety of possible post-weight loss contouring procedures may be part of a post-weight loss contouring plan of treatment from Dr. Nimtz. During your consultation, Dr. Nimtz will review your options with you, and together you can develop a customized plan that is perfectly suited to your needs, at which point he will review the specifics of your specific procedures. Why not contact us today to set up your consultation.
For anyone that contacts me who is interested in the plan I always suggest arranging a phone call to discuss it in further detail. It is important for you to find out a bit more about it from me and it is also important for me to find out a bit more about you. This helps me judge whether it is right for you and your lifestyle. I just don't see the point in persuading someone to do it if it isn't a good fit. I also suggest that we meet face to face to show you a copy of the plan so that you are 100% clear on how it works before you commit.
You will receive a customized weight loss program that includes personal medical counseling from a board certified physician and dietary counseling from a licensed, registered dietitian. We will monitor your progress and make the necessary adjustments that will allow you to best achieve your short and long term goals. Although our primary goal is to help you reach your target weight quickly and easily, the focus of care is to allow you to maintain your weight loss permanently so that you will not put the weight back on after you complete our medical weight loss program.
Medi Weightloss clinics are located around the country and help dieters to slim down with food plans, counseling, and medication. The physician-monitored program is popular among customers who are comfortable with a structured program and are ready to make significant changes to their diet to lose weight. But not everyone can stick to the plan long enough for weight loss to occur.
Secondly, our nutritional approach uses a method that has been shown to be much more user friendly than counting calories (calories on food packaging can be out by up to 25%!) and doesn't rely on weighing every morsel of food that passes your lips. Our nutritional approach is about achieving optimal health while gradually increasing the quantity of food you are allowed while supporting muscle growth and fat loss. This is important as the industry 'standard' approach is to restrict/decrease food as time goes on which leads to muscle breakdown and a lower metabolism – both of which are disastrous as far as fat loss is concerned.

Whilst the prospect of losing weight can be a daunting task, it is often made much easier with the support of others. Groups such as Weight Watchers hold regular meetings across the capital and offer advice on exercise and nutrition, weekly weigh-ins and support from professionals and peers. The website will assist you in locating your nearest meeting in London. The NHS website also has an easy-to-use location filter that will help you locate all the services which are available in your postcode.
A: Body contouring with the UltraShape delivers measurable, long-lasting circumference reduction in target body areas, and provides the following benefits: Non-invasive – The procedure is totally non-invasive and reduces the fat thickness and circumference of the treated area with no incisions, cannulas, injections or needles. Safe – The focused ultrasound causes a mechanical (non-thermal) effect that selectively targets only fat tissue without affecting the surrounding blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. Effective – After three sessions, patients experience an average of 4 cm reduction in body circumference. These results have been proven in clinical studies and are demonstrated in the tens of thousands of treatments performed worldwide. The results you experience may vary. Comfort – The vast majority of people who have undergone the UltraShape body contouring procedure report no discomfort. There is no anesthesia or sedation required. You simply lie on the bed and the technician guides a handheld device that delivers the ultrasound energy over your body.
While our goal is to ensure you are successful in losing weight and feeling your best self, our primary objective is maintenance and long-term success. The Shulman Weight Loss team feels enormously proud to be leaders in the field when it comes to helping our clients lose the weight for life! Once you hit your goal weight, it will be our pleasure to suit you with a maintenance program that ensures your success will last.
There are many ways which one can go about losing weight in London. Gyms are a traditional and effective way to shed pounds, and London gyms have developed excellent customer service and superior facilities. Several large chains offer branches in London such as Virgin Active and Fitness First. One of the benefits of being a member of such gyms is the ability to use different centres across the capital and indeed the country. They offer standard gym equipment, along with swimming pools, classes and personal trainers. However, do expect facilities to differ from location to location. Prices start around £40 a month for an off-peak membership. There are of course many exclusive gyms across London but these services come at a premium. For those looking for a gym on a budget, the central YMCA is a great choice. Located close to the West End, the centre boasts a £25 metre pool and several classes including boxing and belly dancing.

At your first meeting, you will meet with a medical professional for preliminary testing. Certain states require that patients meet directly with a physician for the initial consult. In those locations, you will meet with a board-certified MD (medical doctor) or DO (doctor of osteopathic medicine). Some, but not all of the doctors, have additional training or credentials in obesity medicine.

She has worked in hospitals in France (in oncology, geriatrics, surgery and endocrinology) and the UK (in intensive care, and gastroenterology at the Bupa Cromwell Hospital London) and for the Prader-Willi Association (for patients suffering from genetic obesity).

Currently, over 24% of men and 26% of women in England are in the clinically obese classification. By using cutting edge key hole surgery we quicken recovery time, minimise scarring and guarantee a successful operation. This will be combined with a range of additional health complications that come from carrying an unhealthy amount of extra weight. Get in touch today for a free consultation with a weight loss specialist. I did not take them for the first week because of my doubts but I have to say, that apart from a dry mouth for the first few days, they were marvelous and I lost weight almost like magic. London has long had a reputation as a world leading centre of excellence in the area of bariatric surgery. Talk to you about your lifestyle and dietary habits. BMI 30-35 cuts life expectancy up to 4 yrs. After a consultation we may decide surgery is the most effective and long term solution. The doctor prescribed for me a course of tablets and a diet. Ahmed Ahmed, our primary consultant Surgeon has performed thousands of specialist bariatric operations with some high profile exposure.
Most nonsurgical weight loss programs are based on a combination of diet, behavior modification and regular exercise. Unfortunately, even the most effective interventions don't work for everyone. It's estimated that less than 5 percent of individuals who participate in nonsurgical weight loss programs will lose a significant amount of weight and maintain that loss for an extended period of time.
Psychology Today does not read or retain your email. However, a copy will be sent to you for your records. Please be aware that email is not a secure means of communication and spam filters may prevent your email from reaching the therapist. The therapist should respond to you by email, although we recommend that you follow up with a phone call. If you prefer corresponding via phone, leave your contact number.
Once it is established that you would be medically suitable and that you are completely happy to proceed with the treatment the doctor will advise you of our low fat, low sugar diet programme and will discuss other courses of treatment that can help you manage your weight. You would then come back at regular intervals for your progress to be monitored by the doctor.
The blood test looks at standard blood parameters, this includes liver function, thyroid, glucose, inflammation markers, cholesterol, red and white blood cells, etc. This can therefore provide a great tool to track progress. I often see inflammation markers reduce, glucose regulation improve, cholesterol levels lower. Note: It is not a blood test that looks at "food allergy"

Look at all three segments of the for-profit education marketplace -- Pre-K, K-12, and post-secondary -- and you'll find one key trend that really lives up to its press releases -- more and better digital tools are improving efficiency and lowering costs.
And for educators, there's no time to waste in adopting better solutions. While the U.S. spends more on education than almost any other developed nation, American students still fall way behind their international counterparts.
But while our educational infrastructure may not always be meeting parents' and workplace needs, the market is producing promising technology-enabled learning tools.
What's more, institutions and schools are increasingly outsourcing marketing, student recruitment, and other student support services.
While the enthusiasm for "MOOCs" has tapered off, the migration online of some of America's most exclusive classrooms has enhanced the allure of online education. Even elite not-for-profit institutions are turning to private for-profit companies to manage their online programs.
The headwind over gainful employment that has held back growth in the for-profit secondary sector may possibly dissipate in the near future -- and the new regulations about to be announced by the federal government will be a determining factor. They could well be released by mid-July, and if so -- at this conference -- you'll be among the first to hear from experts about the ramifications.
And in the K-12 space, alternative charter and private schools continue to draw intense interest -- but there's a catch. Many are not necessarily better than their public counterparts, but rely on the optimistic perceptions of frustrated parents. The companies that deliver measurably superior outcomes are the ones that belong in PE investors' portfolios.
This is why there is now strong investor preference for companies that provide support services to both for-profit and not-for-profit colleges and schools. Many of these companies have been off the media radar, yet they offer significant profit potential in this changing marketplace.
Just some of these in-demand services include --
Here are 6 important reasons you should Register Now for this encore Capital Roundtable conference, "Private Equity Investing in For-Profit Education Companies" --
As chair of this conference, we're delighted to welcome Anthony W. Miller, partner and COO of Vistria Group LP in Chicago -- a private investment firm focused on building market leading companies in the healthcare, education, and financial services industries.
Before launching Vistria, Tony was the deputy secretary and chief operating officer of the U.S. Dept. of Education.
Appointed by President Obama, Tony oversaw day-to-day operations of the Department, including policy-making, program management, and administrative functions for early learning, K-12, and higher education. In addition, he led implementation of $100 billion in one-time education program funding as part of the economic stimulus package.
Prior to working in government, Tony was a director with Silver Lake Partners, a global leader in technology investing, where he helped launch the firm's Value Creation Team as an operating partner. From 2003 to 2006, he was an executive with LRN Corp. (an ethics and compliance software and corporate e-learning company). From 1992 to 2002, he was a partner with McKinsey & Co. serving healthcare and technology companies.
Tony began his career with Delco Electronics, a subsidiary of GM Hughes Electronics, where he was responsible for channel marketing programs. He holds an MBA from the Stanford Business School where he completed his studies at Stanford's Japan Center for Technology and Innovation and a BS in industrial engineering from Purdue University.

Scholarship and College Information
March, 2014
· Acceptance letters are wonderful, but they don't define you. It's so great to have a school recognize all of your hard work and tell you that they want you to be a part of their campus community. It's also tremendously disappointing when a school does not accept you, but remember that there are an incredible number of factors going into their decision and you'll never really know why you did or didn't get into a particular university. Instead of looking at admission decisions as a judgment of who you are, you would be better off reflecting on the things that really define you – how you cherish your friends, how you value your family, how you pursue your passions, how you treat those less fortunate than you, how you strive to do the right thing.
· Choose the school that is right for you. Hopefully you're going to receive more than one acceptance letter, and that means you'll have to start spending some serious time thinking about which school will work out best for you. Don't give in to the temptation to just pick the school that has the most prestige or name recognition unless that truly is the best fit for you. In the short term, you and your parents will have the thrill of saying you're going there, but bear in mind that you'll be spending at least four years of life in this place. Consider factors like the size of the student body, average class size, weather, majors, and the surrounding community when deciding if a school is the one for you. Remember, there is still time to visit schools and there is no substitute for walking around a campus and speaking with students and observing classes to help you see if it's the right school for you.
· You had your chance to drop classes. If you're doing poorly in a class and you chose not to drop it when you had the opportunity, then it's time to live up to your choice and do as well as possible. Remember – schools have the right to rescind an offer of admission because of D's or F's or even a lower overall performance. You don't want to receive a letter from UC stating: "Regretfully, I must withdraw our offer of admission because you did not meet the conditions of admission. In particular, you failed to successfully complete your senior year with satisfactory grades."
· Appeals to a UC should only occur if there is an error or "compelling new information" that will dramatically alter your application. If you didn't get into the UC of your choice, don't appeal just because you hope they'll like your application better when they read it in April than they did when they read it in December. Overturning an admission decision is "extremely rare."
· If your family's financial situation has changed (e.g. – a parent has lost a job, your parents have declared bankruptcy), notify the financial aid offices of the schools to which you have applied immediately. It could alter the financial aid packages they will offer you.
· The Middle Class Scholarship was recently enacted by the California State Legislature to make college more affordable for middle class families. It begins with the 2014-15 school year and is aimed at reducing CSU and UC fees by 10-40% for "families with incomes too high to qualify for existing financial aid programs but still unable to afford the fees without relying heavily on student loans." CSU and UC students who have filled out the FAFSA and California GPA verification form are automatically awarded the Middle Class Scholarship if they meet all the requirements. If you haven't filled out the FAFSA yet, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov right now! The California state deadline for the FAFSA is March 2nd, 2014.
· The UC Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan "will cover your system-wide fees if you are a California resident whose family earns less than $80,000 a year and you qualify for financial aid." Similar to the Middle Class Scholarship, UC students are automatically considered for this program if they complete their FAFSA and Cal Grant GPA Verification Form.
· Diamond Bar Black Women's Association – Students can win a $500 scholarship. To be eligible, the applicant must be an African-American graduating from a local high school with at least a 2.5 GPA and plans to attend an institution of higher learning. Pick up an application in Mr. Desmond's office. Application packages including letters of recommendation must be postmarked no later than April 21, 2014 to be received by April 25, 2014.
· META Scholarship – The META (Making Education the Answer) scholarship "provides students up to $7,500, payable over four years." Applicants must have a 3.0 minimum GPA, "come from families at or below 60% of the area's median family income, based on family size," be in the process of applying to a four-year college, and be a "U.S. citizen or Legal Resident of Hispanic origin." For more information, please go to www.meta-foundation.org. Application deadline is April 30th, 2014.
· Through the Looking Glass Scholarship – This scholarship is specifically for students who "have at least one parent with a disability." A total of fifteen $1000 scholarships will be awarded for fall of 2014. For more information and an application, go to www.lookingglass.org/scholarship. Applications must be postmarked by March 17th, 2014.
· Dr. Ko Scholarship – The Southern California Monte Jade Science and Technology Association is offering the Dr. Ko Future Entrepreneurs Scholarship. The purpose of the program is to foster leadership and entrepreneurism in students, and they say they have $15,000 worth of scholarships to award. For more information and an application, please visit www.scmj.org/scholarship. Email the completed application package to the address on the website on or before March 21st, 2014.
· Council of African American Parents (CAAP) Scholarship – "Successful candidates must be African American,… possess a minimum GPA of 2.0,… and exemplify CAAP's educational, social, and cultural values through participation and/or achievement in related activities." Pick-up an application in Mr. Desmond's office. Completed applications must be postmarked by Friday, April 18th, 2014.
· Taiwanese-American Citizens League Scholarship – The Los Angeles chapter of this organization is offering multiple $500 awards in LA County. This scholarship is open to all juniors and seniors regardless of race, national origin, citizenship, or financial needs. They are looking for well-rounded college bound seniors who have demonstrated leadership skills, extracurricular activity involvement, community service, and academic achievement. A few copies are available in Mr. Desmond's office, or the entire application package can be downloaded from http://www.tacl.org. Application must be received by March 31st, 2014.
· Scholarship Database – A former parent was kind enough to send us a compilation of scholarships, and it has so many listed it's just too big to include in the Senior Bulletin. A hard copy of this database is available in the Guidance Office for your perusal.
· Don't forget that you can research scholarships on your own!

Samsung develops 4 Gigabit Flash memory for cell phonesBy Derek Sooman
Multimedia mobile phones of the future will get a welcome storage boost, thanks to Samsung, who have built an ultra-compact Flash memory chip with a capacity of 4 Gigabit (512 Megabyte).
The 90 nm device is about the size of an average finger nail (11 x 13 X 1.4 mm) and can store more than 250 3-megapixel images taken with future camera phones or about 120 music tracks. Samsung also said it was able to cut the Flash chip's power consumption nearly in half by operating it at 1.8 volts, instead of the common 3.3 volts.
Built as NAND Flash, the new product offers high data read and write speeds, and is scheduled to enter mass production in July of this year.

NO AGE's sexy-time VINYL explosion
The two dudes in Los Angeles' NO AGE (ex-WIVES) decided to jack-off each other and the end result was wax. Lots and lots of wax. In the past few months they have released five vinyl eps (four 12″s and one 7″) on these labels: Deleted Art (Amsterdam), Post Present Medium (Los Angeles), Teenage Teardrops (Los Angeles), Upset the Rhythm (London), and Youth Attack Records (New York City). I am a vinyl geek, so I thought this was a great project for No Age. Collect 'em all while you can, since they are all in runs of only 500 each. (CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE)
EDIT: I forgot to mention the back of all the EPs spell N O A G E . Picture to come soon.

The United States and Iraq are close to a deal that would mean the withdrawal of American troops from Iraqi cities by next summer and departure of all combat troops by the end of 2010, McClatchy reports.
The 2011 deadline is no big surprise, but pulling U.S. forces out of the cities as soon as June 2009 raises serious questions. It would presumably mean not only vacating the Green Zone but iraqisizing the COPs in contested cities like Mosul, and Baghdad, where sectarian fault lines have been reinforced with American-built walls. It's a terrible idea, probably based on the hubristic assumption that the ebbing of one militant group's fortunes means the country is on a straight road to lasting peace.
I can't see how the Iraqi Army can possibly cope once the Americans are gone from the streets. They're not ready, as they themselves readily admit, and a mere 12 months won't make much of a difference — particularly as their foes, from AQI to militias and common criminals, will lay low, comfortable in the knowledge that they don't have much longer to wait.

Pondering the provincial...
Provincial is one of those words that people interpret in various ways, dependent on their frame of reference. Being strongly inclined toward interior design, Polly Provincial associates the word with the early 1990s growth of the shabby chic trend for intentionally rustic styling, with a bit of bric-o-brac thrown in for good measure. Distressed furniture, wooden of course, painted creamy white or sage green and a little chipped and scratched around the edges was all the rage back then. This design fad has evolved over the years into a more honest and earthy approach to combining diverse textures and natural materials - involving less rough'n'tumble pretense than it did initially and more authenticity.
What is PP?
Polly Provincial is a country lifestyle blog, brought to you by the Creative Director of 'The Editorial Suite', in her spare time, which is not immense!

In the set of Major Arcana Rider-Waite cards, it is referred to mention the card of impartiality – the Justice. This card is numbered XI that is linked to various keywords such as objectivity, insensitivity, decision, responsibility, rationality, and many others. As its name has indicated, the Justice Card embraces the sense of uprightness.
So, if your interest is about the Justice Tarot Meaning, draw mind to the issues of fairness. Anyway, the card's reversed meanings are said to evolve the puzzles of dishonesty and unfairness. Let's explore now!
Upright and Reversed Meanings of the Justice Card
Being vastly utilized in Psychic divination, the Justice card illustrates the figure of Justice that sits in her chair with red cloak, sword (in right hand), and scales (in left hand). Along with that, there is a crown and a small square on her head that symbolize the well-ordered thoughts and law protection. The image of the double-edge sword signifies the sense of impartiality. Interestingly, the scales are what we need to inspire the sight of balance and intuition. That means the Justice usually thinks logically when it comes to every puzzle of life.
The card's upright meanings are about the fairness and truths. In reference to the law of nature, the Justice Card helps to disclose the causes and effects of some certain cases. By dealing with law of cause and effect, the Card aids the Tarot Readers in foretelling what will happen in the future if you do some certain actions in the present moments. Sometimes, the Card also addresses your roles involved in the others' actions that lead to the particular results.
In the reversed side, the Justice card's meanings are about the lack of accountability and unfairness. Reflecting the downsides of life, the reversed Card warns the readers and seekers of the potential dishonesty when dealing with someone or something on Earth. Since not everybody is equally created, be careful when interacting with some particular guys around!
In general, the Justice Card evokes the need for balance, harmony, and fairness. For instance, if your question is about work or career, this Card inspires you to pursue the career that makes you feel balanced and comfortable to work with in the long run. It is needless to sit under the heavy stream of discomfort. Remember that balance in work is essential in order to thrive! How about in love? This major Arcana card asks you to stay clear about what you desire most from the relationship to find the right haft.

Pregnancy Miracle
As evident from the discussion in the section on environmental and lifestyle effects, the importance (and mechanisms) of male fetal induction of testicular dysfunction remains speculative. This is partly because it is still a new area and partly because of the inherent difficulties in establishing cause and effect involving the human fetus, particularly when any outcome, such as infertility/low sperm counts, may not manifest for two or more decades. Nevertheless, there is a good and proven example of a major human testicular disorder that involves fetal induction and adult manifestation, and this is tes-ticular germ cell cancer (testis cancer) (115). It is now established as firmly as possible that these cancers arise from premalignant transformed fetal germ cells (primordial germ cells or gonocytes) that are termed carcinoma-in-situ (CIS) cells (107,115-117) (see Fig. 3). The latter express numerous proteins that are also expressed by fetal germ cells but not by spermatogonia and other germ cells in the adult testis (115-117). For unknown reasons, affected fetal germ cells fail to differentiate normally into spermatogonia and, thus, retain many stem cell features, and their subsequent development results in their unstable transformation. These cells remain quiescent in the testis until puberty, when their multiplication is stimulated (presumably) by the same growth factors as are normal germ cells during spermatogenesis. Eventually, a germ cell tumor results. This is usually in the age range 15-45 yr, with a peak incidence at 25-30 yr (118,119). In most Western countries, testis cancer is the most common cancer of young (white) men and, were it not for the tremendous success of treatment (90% success rate), it would be the biggest killer of young men after road traffic accidents (120,121).
There are two particularly intriguing aspects to testis cancer that make it highly relevant to this chapter. First, its incidence in young men has increased inexorably during the past 50-65 yr at least, and this increase is clearly linked to later year of birth (119,121). For example, a man born in Finland in 1965 has a more than 10-fold higher risk of developing testis cancer than a man born in Finland in 1905 (119). This increase owes nothing to better diagnosis or that we are living longer (it is a cancer of young men). In most Western countries, the incidence of testis cancer has doubled every 20-35 yr and a rapid increase like this can only have an environmental or lifestyle cause. However, it is equally clear that there is a genetic or ethnic component that predetermines testis cancer risk, because American blacks have a considerably lower incidence than do American whites (121,122). There are also other geographic (possibly ethnic) differences in testis cancer incidence, such as Oriental men having a lower incidence than Western Caucasian men (4), Finnish men having a fourfold lower incidence than Danish men (118,119). Most of the identified risk factors for testis cancer are prenatal factors (4,6,8,123), and many of these factors are shared with those for cryptorchidism, hypospadias, and low sperm counts/infertility (6,8,106,123), which may also be increasing in incidence (4,8,103,124-126). Observations such as this give rise to the concept of a testicular dysgenesis syndrome that may have several manifestations but a common underlying mechanism (6) (see Fig. 3). Indeed, this line of thinking can also encompass the ethnic differences in testis cancer incidence, reflecting factors such as genetic differences in hormone levels during pregnancy, or other factors that affect the intrauterine environment (8,123,127). Unfortunately, what is still lacking is a mechanistic appreciation of how ethnic and environmental/lifestyle factors affect the developing reproductive system of the fetus, other than knowing that effects on androgens and/or estrogens are probably involved somewhere in the chain of events
(5,8). If this was understood, then appropriate changes to lifestyle or diet could be recommended to minimize risk to the male offspring.

Congress flails after Trump's deportation ultimatumBy artappraiser on Mon, 06/24/2019 - 7:43pm |
- Add new comment
- 1194 reads
Progressives are right to vote against giving Trump more money.
There is zero evidence he will do anything but more of the same with it. He has not followed one court order, one law, or even allowed doctors or lawyers into the concentration camps. He'll use the money for whatever he wants to, and neither Congress nor the courts could stop him without years of litigation. The GOP base loves the cruelty.
for instance - the children told us that nobody's taking care of them, so that basically the older children are trying to take care of the younger children. The guards are asking the younger children or the older children, 'Who wants to take care of this little boy? Who wants to take [care] of this little girl?' and they'll bring in a two-year-old, a three-year-old, a four-year-old. And then the littlest kids are expected to be taken care of by the older kids...

Exterior Algebra I:
Revenge of the Line Integrals
Note: this post assumes some knowledge of multivariable calculus and linear algebra
If you've spent a reasonable amount of time learning math, you've seen them. The $~~\mathrm{d}~~$ in $~~\frac{\mathrm{d}f}{\mathrm{d}x}~~$. Actually, the $~~\mathrm{d}~~$ in integrals, too. You probably asked your teacher what $~~\mathrm{d}~~$ actually meant, and you were probably brushed off with an excuse about it representing an infinitesimal number. Yet, it seemed that when it came down to algebraically manipulating these symbols, you were expected to simply accept that such an algebra exists, without anything like a rigorous proof given. Later, in multivariable calculus, you probably saw something like this:
$$\vec{F} = P(x, y, z) \hat{\imath} + Q(x, y, z) \hat{\jmath} + R(x, y, z) \hat{k}$$ $$I = \int_C (P(\vec{r}(t)) \frac{\partial r_x}{\partial t} + Q(\vec{r}(t)) \frac{\partial r_y}{\partial t} + R(\vec{r}(t)) \frac{\partial r_z}{\partial t}) \, \mathrm{d}t$$
And then the teacher "cancelled out" the derivatives:
$$I = \int_C P(\vec{r}) \, \mathrm{d}r_x + Q(\vec{r}) \, \mathrm{d}r_y + R(\vec{r}) \, \mathrm{d}r_z$$
Or, to be less pedantic:
$$I = \int_C P \, \mathrm{d}x + Q \, \mathrm{d}y + R \, \mathrm{d}z$$
As it turns out, there is a theoretically consistent way to express the algebra of $~~\mathrm{d}x~~$-type expressions. It's known as exterior algebra.
The expression shown before ($~~P \, \mathrm{d}x + Q \, \mathrm{d}y + R \, \mathrm{d}z~~$) is known as a "differential 1-form". You can imagine that $~~\mathrm{d}x~~$ is actually a function $~~\mathrm{d}~~$ acting on a vector field $~~\vec{r}(x, y, z) = x~~$, creating an infinitesimal vector in the $~~\hat{\imath}~~$ direction. Thus, a differential 1-form is kind of like a vector field, in that they carry essentially the same information. We now define an operator:
For some vector field $$\vec{F}(x_1, x_2, \dots, x_k) = P_1 \hat{x_1} + P_2 \hat{x_2} + \dots + P_k \hat{x_k}$$ there exists a differential 1-form $~~\widetilde{F}~~$ such that $$\widetilde{F} = P_1\,\mathrm{d}x_1 + P_2\,\mathrm{d}x_2 + \dots + P_k\,\mathrm{d}x_k$$
In $~~\mathbb{R}^n~~$, there are $~~n~~$ basis 1-forms, i.e.: $~~\mathrm{d}x_1, \dots, \mathrm{d}x_n~~$
Since there are 1-forms, you might wonder what a 0-form is. They are just scalar functions on a manifold, e.g.: $~~P_1 : \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}~~$ is a 0-form.
The "degree" of a $~~p~~$-form $~~\alpha~~$ is $~~p~~$, and is denoted $~~|\alpha| = p~~$
2-forms and $~~n~~$-forms
To create 2-forms, we introduce the notion of an exterior product. This product is denoted by $~~\wedge~~$, and is fittingly known as the wedge product.
$$(\wedge) : \mathrm{Form}^p \to \mathrm{Form}^q \to \mathrm{Form}^{p + q}$$
The wedge product conforms to most of the properties of multiplication, except it is not commutative:
$$\alpha \wedge (\beta \wedge \gamma) = (\alpha \wedge \beta) \wedge \gamma = \alpha \wedge \beta \wedge \gamma$$ $$\alpha \wedge (\beta + \gamma) = (\alpha \wedge \beta) + (\alpha \wedge \gamma)$$ $$\alpha \wedge \beta = (-1)^{|\alpha||\beta|} (\beta \wedge \alpha)$$
In $~~\mathbb{R}^n~~$ we have $~~k~~$ different basis $~~p~~$-forms, where $~~k = C(p, n)~~$ and $~~C(n, r)~~$ is the binomial function.
In $~~\mathbb{R}^2~~$, this means that there is one basis 0-form (the number 1), two basis 1-forms ($~~\mathrm{d}x~~$ and $~~\mathrm{d}y~~$), and one basis 2-form ($~~\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}y~~$)
In $~~\mathbb{R}^3~~$, there is one basis 0-form (1), three basis 1-forms ($~~\mathrm{d}x~~$, $~~\mathrm{d}y~~$ and $~~\mathrm{d}z~~$), three basis 2-forms ($~~\mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}z~~$, $~~\mathrm{d}z \wedge \mathrm{d}x~~$, $~~\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}y~~$), and one basis 3-form ($~~\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}z~~$).
In $~~\mathbb{R}^n~~$ we define $$\mathrm{d}V = \mathrm{d}x_1 \wedge \mathrm{d}x_2 \wedge \dots \wedge \mathrm{d}x_n$$
Multiplying a scalar by this "volume form" creates a "pseudoscalar".
Exterior derivatives
Now, let's unpack the algebraic properties of the $~~\mathrm{d}~~$ operator. Here are its properties:
$$\forall p \in \mathbb{N}, \forall \alpha, \beta \in \mathrm{Form}^p, \forall f : \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$$ $$\mathrm{d}(\mathrm{d}(\alpha)) = 0$$ $$\mathrm{d}(f) = \widetilde{\nabla f}$$ $$\mathrm{d}(a f + b g) = a (\mathrm{d}(f)) + b (\mathrm{d}(g))$$ $$\mathrm{d}(\alpha \wedge \beta) = (\mathrm{d}(\alpha) \wedge \beta) + ((-1)^{|\alpha|} (\alpha \wedge \mathrm{d}(\beta)))$$
Also, we will introduce some terminology: a form $~~\alpha~~$ is closed if $~~\mathrm{d}(\alpha) = 0~~$, and a closed form $~~\alpha~~$ is exact if there exists some $~~\beta~~$ such that $~~\alpha = \mathrm{d}(\beta)~~$. Note the similarity between the idea of an exact 1-form and a conservative vector field.
Dot products
We define the dot product on differential forms in a fairly natural way. Firstly, the dot product of a $~~p~~$-form and a $~~q~~$-form where $~~p \neq q~~$ is zero. Secondly, assuming we have two $~~p~~$-forms that are the linear combination of basis $~~k~~$-forms and 0-forms, the dot product is as follows: $$\alpha = P_1 \mu_1 + P_2 \mu_2 + \dots$$ $$\beta = Q_1 \mu_1 + Q_2 \mu_2 + \dots$$ $$\alpha \cdot \beta = P_1 Q_1 + P_2 Q_2 + \dots$$ Where $~~\mu_i~~$ are the basis $~~k~~$-forms.
Hodge dual
The Hodge dual is the last operator in exterior algebra we will consider for now. It is a unary operator denoted by a $~~\star~~$.
In $~~\mathbb{R}^n~~$: $$(\star) : \mathrm{Form}^p \to \mathrm{Form}^{n - p}$$
The Hodge dual is an involution, and is linear:
$$\star \star \alpha = \alpha$$ $$\star (a \alpha + b \beta) = a (\star \alpha) + b (\star \beta)$$
The Hodge dual is defined by the dot product as follows:
$$\star (\alpha \wedge (\star \beta)) = \alpha \cdot \beta$$
I will let you work out the consequences of this operator yourself, but here are some examples, in $~~\mathbb{R}^3~~$:
$$\star \mathrm{d}x = \mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}z$$ $$\star \mathrm{d}y = \mathrm{d}z \wedge \mathrm{d}x$$ $$\star \mathrm{d}z = \mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}y$$ $$K = A\,(\mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}z) + B\,(\mathrm{d}z \wedge \mathrm{d}x) + C\,(\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}y)$$ $$\star K = A\,\mathrm{d}x + B\,\mathrm{d}y + C\,\mathrm{d}z$$
Some motivation
We will now examine the properties of this basic algebra in more detail. First, let's try taking the wedge product of two arbitrary 1-forms in $~~\mathbb{R}^3~~$
$$M = (P\,\mathrm{d}x + Q\,\mathrm{d}y + R\,\mathrm{d}z) \wedge (A\,\mathrm{d}x + B\,\mathrm{d}y + C\,\mathrm{d}z)$$
We distribute: $$M = J + K + L$$ $$J = (P\,\mathrm{d}x + Q\,\mathrm{d}y + R\,\mathrm{d}z) \wedge (A\,\mathrm{d}x)$$ $$K = (P\,\mathrm{d}x + Q\,\mathrm{d}y + R\,\mathrm{d}z) \wedge (B\,\mathrm{d}y)$$ $$L = (P\,\mathrm{d}x + Q\,\mathrm{d}y + R\,\mathrm{d}z) \wedge (C\,\mathrm{d}z)$$
We distribute again and remove constant factors: $$J = P A\,(\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}x) + Q A\,(\mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}x) + R A\,(\mathrm{d}z \wedge \mathrm{d}x)$$ $$K = P B\,(\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}y) + Q B\,(\mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}y) + R B\,(\mathrm{d}z \wedge \mathrm{d}y)$$ $$L = P C\,(\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}z) + Q C\,(\mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}z) + R C\,(\mathrm{d}z \wedge \mathrm{d}z)$$
We combine like terms, flipping wedges when necessary $$J = P A\,(\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}x) + (Q C - R B)\,(\mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}z)$$ $$K = Q B\,(\mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}y) + (R A - P C)\,(\mathrm{d}z \wedge \mathrm{d}x)$$ $$L = R C\,(\mathrm{d}z \wedge \mathrm{d}z) + (Q A - P B)\,(\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}y)$$
Since $~~\alpha \wedge \alpha = -\alpha \wedge \alpha~~$ if $~~\alpha~~$ is a 1-form, we can conclude that $~~\alpha \wedge \alpha = 0~~$ $$J = (Q C - R B)\,(\mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}z)$$ $$K = (R A - P C)\,(\mathrm{d}z \wedge \mathrm{d}x)$$ $$L = (Q A - P B)\,(\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}y)$$
$$\therefore M = (Q C - R B)\,(\mathrm{d}y \wedge \mathrm{d}z) + (R A - P C)\,(\mathrm{d}z \wedge \mathrm{d}x) + (Q A - P B)\,(\mathrm{d}x \wedge \mathrm{d}y)$$
Now let's calculate $~~\star M~~$ $$\star M = (Q C - R B)\,\mathrm{d}x + (R A - P C)\,\mathrm{d}y + (Q A - P B)\,\mathrm{d}z$$
Let's define two vector fields, $~~\vec{F}~~$ and $~~\vec{G}~~$ such that: $$\widetilde{F} = P\,\mathrm{d}x + Q\,\mathrm{d}y + R\,\mathrm{d}z$$ $$\widetilde{G} = A\,\mathrm{d}x + B\,\mathrm{d}y + C\,\mathrm{d}z$$
Rephrasing $~~\star M~~$ in this light, we get: $$\star M = (F_y G_z - F_z G_y)\,\mathrm{d}x + (F_z G_x - F_x G_z)\,\mathrm{d}y + (F_y G_x - F_x G_y)\,\mathrm{d}z$$
If we define a third vector field $~~\vec{H} = \vec{F} \times \vec{G}~~$, we find that $~~\widetilde{H} = \star M~~$
We just discovered the cross product! This shows the generality of these methods, and how the classical tools of vector calculus simply fall out as consequences of exterior algebra.
Hopefully next time we can see some more interesting consequences of exterior algebra, including an application to electrodynamics.

In Pursuit Of The Perfect Headshot...
By MAP Admin, Sep 21 2015 11:36AM
As a general rule, an actor will instinctively pick a headshot that they think looks good, as opposed to making a good headshot. A headshot should be about the the actor, not the lighting skills of the photographer or the designer label of the clothes they wear. In magazines, those glossy photos we see are about selling a product and so the lighting, the angle the mood are all set to highlight this product. In a headshot, the product is you; think of the headshot as your logo and so, everything about it should be about saying to a casting director 'this is me'. The headshot is what gets you through the door!
Our aim is to be a malleable and flexible actor with a range to rival the finest of Olivier winners, but actors are unique. Your physical appearance is a huge part of what makes you sell and should be considered your 'unique selling point'. Before starting out as an actor there are two things you must come to terms with;
1) Knowing what you are – the way you are perceived by an audience.
2) Being comfortable with who you are.
You wouldn't spend a lifetime trying to fix cars if you'd trained as a vet – it's counter productive. Your headshot (logo!) should be a clear indication of 'you'.
Likewise, a shaven headed man with a scar does not need dress up as a biker and pull faces; their appearance will tell us all we need to know. If you were selling avocados, you wouldn't send a picture of a tomato…
At drama school, university – wherever we have trained, we are pushed and stretched into various roles. As more and more actors are trained and arrive on 'Spotlight', the days of having to be so versatile are almost gone, certainly early on in one's career. If they need a red-head, Geordie with a limp, you can pretty much guarantee there is one on Spotlight. However, this can be used to your advantage!
Agents and casting directors love actors who know their strengths and are clear about it; it makes their job easier. When your headshot is a clear representation of what you offer as an actor, you're n the right track.
Which bloody photographer?!
Firstly, pick a photographer who takes pictures that you like! Don't just shoot with your friend (or your friend's photographer) just because the price is low, or because your friend likes the photographer. Similarly, don't shoot with the photographer charging £500; a big price doesn't always mean a 'big' photo!
Your headshots can make or break your career–you want to make sure you are picking a photographer for the right reasons, and price (expensive or cheap) is not necessarily one of them. Also, as with clothing, headshots tend to go through phases of 'fashion'. Don't feel that you have to pay the extra money to fit that trend. Fashions, even with photographers, come and go yearly. Your headshot could last 3 years.
Be careful of opinions and who to ask for them! It doesn't matter if your family and friends like them–what matters is if they will get you in the door.
Next, especially for your first time, your photo shoot should last a few hours; you are going to be nervous and a long and relaxed shoot helps build a rapport. This leads to better photos! Try and shoot with a photographer that you can take your time with and relax around.
Just like with screen acting, it's all about your eyes, and what's happening behind them. Your eyes don't lie – especially on a close up! They need to be perfectly in focus, alive, and energized, and not dead and glazed over. There should be a strong inner-monologue, giving something, anything behind the eyes. Some photographers will ask you to squint slightly (I'm not sure about this!) whereas others will just be able to make it work!
How many "looks" do I need?
Many agents and Casting directors will tell you that one, good headshot is enough – which is true! This is especially the case when graduating from a drama school. For actors further down their career path, one good headshot is enough, but it is the bare minimum.
A savvy actor will have different shots for different submissions. On Spotlight you should aim for 4-6 photos. A casual, comfortable, smiling headshot might be appropriate for a sitcom, but it's not going to work for that feature film role of a serial killer. If you are capable of playing multiple types of roles, you need a headshot for each type, and therefore multiple looks; perhaps even one with/without facial hair. This said, do not push outside of your casting – there is no point! I've seen too many people who think they are or the stero-typical leading women or hunky leading blokes and try and use those shots – as soon as they walk through the casting room door, we can see the truth!
If you can only play a scary serial killer type, then you only need one "look"! Similarly, those famous actors that you really admire ALREADY EXIST! Don't try and emulate them – be yourself! Every actor is different…
1)Understand who you are!
2) Be comfortable with who you are!
Retouching my headshot...
Retouching is a bit of a touchy subject (boom boom!). A headshot that is r-touched badly can be a disaster and can make the photo look fake or, in the worst case, make it look like someone else entirely!
With the rise of digital photography, retouching is more readily available and therefore more tempting. Some re-touching can be useful, but with the standard of cameras out there, the photo taken should be enough! Photoshop can be used to fix a stray hair, lighten a shadow or remove that irritating spot!
But remember; because it can be done, doesn't mean it should be done! Make sure that the photographer only removes temporary imperfections. In general, if it will be there in three weeks, it should probably remain in the photo.
Scarring is one thing that can take a little re-touching. A scar on the face might be almost unnoticeable, but under the close scrutiny of a lens with professional lighting, it might in fact highlight the scar. In these instances, it's fine to tweak your photo so that it matches your appearance in person.
Shooting with full frontal light is best – it shows us your face in all its glory. If shooting outdoors, this will require a canopy or bridge over you. A photographer may ask you to hold a reflector under your chin – this is great, but feel free to ask if you still have a chin in the photos! It has happened that chins have disappeared into necks!
Survivng the shoot!
Shooting your headshots should be fun and something you should enjoy doing, and look forward to (although I know very few actors who do!). Prepare for your shoot by treating yourself well, getting plenty of sleep, caring for your body, and allowing plenty of time to prepare. If you're nervous, bring a friend, and bring music that you like. If you're shooting outside, sometimes holding a cigarette or a can of drink (probably not Fosters!) can help you feel a little more natural.
During the shoot, don't let fear paralyse you and remember that this photo is different from the obligatory 'night-out-in-the-toilet-selfie'. Standing still for two hours with a pout is not helpful! Different thoughts will make for a range of photos.
Don't worry about taking "good" pictures or the "right" pictures. The photographer knows their trade and despite what you think (within reason!) you should trust their judgement; your job is to show up prepared and to then relax.
Enjoy the shoot–you're the centre of attention!
I'm a headshot photographer in London and author of 'The Headshot Bible' 50 Tips For A Perfect Headshot. It's great to read an article about headshots that talks good sense and is filled with useful, actionable information. In today's modern casting world (2017) understanding your castability is crucial to an actors success especially at the start of their career. Again many actors can play various roles so if your headshot photographer isn't offering several different character headshots in your session - then maybe you're not with the right one. Headshot photographers differ in a multitude of ways, from the way they shoot to their personality and business practices. I always stress to actors that they should speak to the photographer before they book, make sure they check out their work and look for testimonials and reviews before they make their choice. If anyone wants more information on headshots there are tons of posts on my blog https://nickgregan.com/blog Thanks for your article and I hope this helps. Nick Gregan

It is always interesting to talk about setup and hold!! Don't think that if anybody asks questions related to setup time and hold time, he or she doesn't know about setup and hold. He or she may know everything about setup time and hold time, time being it confuses. The term "setup" and "hold" is such a word in this VLSI – ASIC design world which only creates continuous questions, hard to explain in words, at least i myself is concerned! I remember, during my MTech days my professor used to say always "whole VLSI world is depending on two pillars, setup time and hold time". It would be more realistic if i say that he used to scold us !!
The doubt why is set up and hold in flip-flop always lingers in my mind. Being a digital design engineer, i should be able to go beneath transistor and convince myself the existence of setup delay and hold delay. I know metastability state of the flip flop or charging or discharging of capacitor on a CMOS, upon which all the gates, flip flops are built. When i say "i know metastability" i may know about its standard definition as per data book. If i advent into getting answer to "why metastability", i believe i must be able to understand setup time and hold time.
Let me try to dig myself. What i know? Flip flop is combination of 2 latches, and latch is level triggered. One is positive level triggered and another in negative level triggered. If so whatever data sent to two latches will be launched or captured on different edges. Then why metastability? Why set up time? Why hold time?
So how two level triggered latches form an edge triggered flop? Let me get in to the latch. After all how it works? Say one input is given...then when can i expect the output data? Is it immediately ? or does it take some time ?
If i remember working of simple SR latch from several theory classes and text books i know that any latch output doesn't stabilize immediately. Output changes to intermediate values of 0 (or 1) then 1 (or 0) then finally it gets settles at 0 (or 1). It used to take 2 or 3 looping of data between NOR (or NAND ) gates.
So in this way it takes 2-3 data cycles....right....This must happen for both latches of flop. Hence this must take some time, may be in nano second or pico second, but it consumes some time !
Now, from the working principle of Master slave flip flop, i know that both latches won't work together. Because i have arranged flop circuit such away that slave follows master. It means to say that when master latches the data slave sleeps, then slave follows master. Or in other words, slave releases the data which is latched earlier by the master. As i understood earlier, to latch the data, master takes 2-3 cycle. Same should be the story for slave.
Now let me extend my imagination to the next horizon.
To a flop which is exclusively designed as edge triggered with basic gates itself, may be NOR or NAND based, or may be based on CMOS full custom circuit, same of 2-3 cycle delay applies here as well. All that happens is those 2-3 cycles to stabilize data which is coming in and going out !
I should analyze practical conditions of latching the data.
Considering one internal data cycle is completed in logic gate,data is not yet stabilized within this latch. If i allow one more input to enter at the same time what will happen to that data which was under process? Naturally latch may start processing new input data or may go to unknown loop state that i think i call as metastable state ! Poor latch, it must have completely confused, whether to drop the catching of present data or should i try to catch new one? I am the boss and hence i, as a designer of latch, has instructed latch to to both, to process present data (so that it can catch it and memorize it), then look for new one. As a duty bound soldier latch will try to do both.
Same applies for data that was already latched but about to leave out of the latch. These two timing delay requirements ultimately constitute setup and hold; hold time is for time required for data to come out while setup for data to get latched. Hence, i believe, hold is always related with launch clock whereas setup is related with capture clock.
So, what I can i understand is i don't need a reference for hold since it's already in flop. That's why for hold analysis, clock period is always considered as 0ns, which virtually turns out to be no clock. ( or..."hold is not dependent on clock"). This is not always true. There are exceptional cases where data is not launched at 0ns with respect to capture clock. These kind of situations should be dealt separately.
Always i must remember that flop has latch structure, this means to say, when one latch works another doesn't do any work. So if i consider register to register path, when one is launching data next one is ready to receive data. That's all ! It continues like that way throughout the digital circuit. When first one is receiving next flop is ready to launch...and so on. To summarize, it takes one clock cycle to complete the launch or capture. That's why we always use terms such as present data, previous data when dealing with data flow through flip flop so that i can understand the delay introduced by the flop (due to its latch architecture) which i technically termed it as setup time and hold time.
As per the definition, data should be stable at input before clock pulse ticks at the clock pin of the flip flop. I understand from the definition that data at the input should have completed the process of 2-3 cycle interchanging values at the receiving gates section of the latch to settle down to a known value. By any means, if clock is faster (or data is slower in its arrival at input), then it can tick at at the time when data might have completed its 1 or 2 cycle interchanging state. Then i am sure any one of these intermediate value can get latched, which may not the actual intended original input data.
For hold, definition is time for which data should be stable after clock edge. Once the clock edge ticks data present within latch tries to go out. I know this takes another 2-3 cycle intermediate values within latch and settle to known value at the output pin of the flip flop. Imagining that output pin is connected to input of another flip flop and there is no combinational circuit in between them, lets assume that delay is zero or very less. In this case intermediate value can immediately reflect at the input of receiving flip flop, which is functionally fatal error. Introduce a delay element which is more than 2-3 cycle delay time (i.e. hold time), then delay element provides sufficient time for the data to settle to known value.
Looking into these aspects minimum period for the clock can't be less than the addition of setup time and hold time. if clock period becomes lesser than this, i am sure flip flop will fail.
But i should be cautious in understanding that every capture flop becomes launch flop for new data to be launched. So we need to make sure that combinational delay is enough so that new data launched doesn't kill the data which is already available within flop. And hence hold check is carried out for clock edge which is one lesser than (or previous to) setup check. Or in other words, setup check for present data which is traveling, hold for new (future) data. Present data should reach the capture flop input before capture clock reaches there.(Setup check). New data shouldn't reach too fast to capture flop so that present data doesn't corrupt.
Well...after all these literature exercise i must agree that i don't want all jargons to implement a practical design. What i need is basic understanding of setup time, hold time and how this affects or controls the timing of a timing path. It would be nice if i can fix setup and hold violations by adjusting rest of the parameters such as skew, latency and jitter.
