J-Rolla's Pirate radio mix - one of the best hardcore/jungle mixes Ive heard in the last 10 years:
*Disclaimer - our third release on Ruff Revival was a collaboration between this guy and Ricky Force, and I've met him a couple of times, other than that, no relationship, and in fact, I kind of hate him for doing this mix.So this set is based around tunes from the 93-94 era (with one from 92 thrown in that was way ahead of its time) that were big pirate radio favourites of mine, tunes that instantly make me think of a particular station, DJ/MC, tape, time or place the second I hear that breakdown. Basically tunes that had a positive impact on me, that I went out and bought because of pirate radio.
I have spliced in little sections of some of my old recordings (mainly Kool FM ones) that I happen to have ripped and saved on my computer I tried not to go overboard with this, but did include some slightly longer memorable clips, like the infamous Duffer Paul reload, Kool FM NYE 94 into 95, which friends and me creased up over many times.
A lot of these tunes are not heard so much these days compared to the bigger anthems (many of which owe their success to stations like Kool and Rush), some are a bit rough around the edges and some were overshadowed by a monster of an anthem on the flipside (Renegades Something I Feel for example).
I purposefully didnt play tracks by the same artist or on the same label more than once to try and get a nice cross-section of music in there, but it was very tough to leave some out, especially when flicking through the Reinforced back cat from this era. Also, I didnt want to repeat tunes that already feature in previous mixes of mine such as Just About Jungle, which is packed with a lot of my old pirate favourites.
I want mix of mid 90s r&b. Hiphop soul era. Post new jack swing, pre timbaland
I want an early 90s dancehall mix from when people used the word ragga. Nothing by heatwave pls
In the summer of 2012, Onra & Lexis joined forces to tackle a project based on a music period they both love so much. That brief period from approximately '93 to '96: the New Jack Swing sound got dated and soulful club music became much closer to the Hip-Hop productions of the time to create this Urban R'n'B type of music.
We simply call this era the "Throw Em' Up" period in reference to the way that everyone in clubs and videos was vibin' to these tracks: just throw up both your arms and wave them around nonchalantly (if possible with a champagne glass). The selection rules we followed for Vol. 2 are simple: #1: Soul artists featuring MC's are ok, but not the other way around. #2: All of the picks have to pass the "throw em' up" dance test, which means: no New Jack Swing stuff, no Timbaland because although Timbo is a genius it's really a different kind of sound which shaped the late 90′s / early 2000′s sound.
I've only listened to vol2 but its quality, check the tl!

Fine Arts Foundation Debutante Ball has its "sweet 16"
As the presentation ended and guests milled about on the plaza of the Cable Center, waiting to be called to dinner, Margo Schlup smiled as she surveyed the debutantes in their poufy white ballgowns and fancy hairdos.
"Every girl needs a Cinderella evening, don't you think?"
She asked a question that was a perfect way to sum up the 2012 Fine Arts Foundation Debutante Ball, a fairytale evening that will long be remembered by the 16 debutantes and their families.
Chaired by Gwen Lake, the event began with the presentation of debutantes in the intimate Edward S. Rogers Amphitheater, a lush expanse of lawn and flowers alongside the Cable Center. Each debutante was introduced by master of ceremonies John Henry Tatlock.
Cousins Alexandra Haymons and Allison Smith were the tiara mistresses, holding wicker baskets stocked with the rhinestone tiaras that Lake and ball co-chair Murri Bishop placed on each debutante's head.
Additional pictures from the Fine Arts Foundation Ball
After receiving her tiara, the debutante would curtsy to the audience.
The tiara mistresses are the granddaughters of Mr. and Mrs. Marlis Smith Sr., whose other granddaughter, Mariah Smith, was one of the 2012 debutantes. In 1989, Marlis Sr. was the Fine Arts Foundation's first Citizen of the Arts, a title held this year by Judi Wolf.
While pomp and circumstance are definitely part of the debutante proceedings, there's always room for levity. This year it came from the white cowboy boots that debs Darci Anderson and Madison Brantley purchased for the occasion.
They wore the requisite white evening pumps for their presentation, but changed into the boots immediately after. "I sure was ready to get those heels off," Anderson said. "Boots are so much more comfortable."
Brantley chose two very special men for her escorts: her brother, Marine Corporal Jared Brantley, who had recently returned from a deployment in Afghanistan, and Sean McNicholas. McNicholas' father, Kevin, and Brantley's father, Tim, are business partners in KMSSA and longtime friends.
Having twin daughters among the honorees gave Chris Dinsdale a bit of a workout. The debs are presented in alphabetical order, but an exception was made for the Dinsdale family.
After Chloe Dinsdale had made her curtsy, Chris, the president of Dinsdale Brothers, a family-owned cattle feeding and farming enterprise with holdings in three states, returned to the queue to accompany Chloe's sister, Jillian, through the ritual. But it wasn't like he had to run a one-minute mile: Debs Shay Elliott and Laura Genty went ahead of Jillian.
Once the post-presentation social had ended, everyone went inside the Cable Center to dine on Caprese salad, filet of beef and a choice of New York cheesecake or flourless chocolate tart prepared by Occasions Catering. The cheesecake complemented the ball's New York New York theme.
The party didn't end there; dancing to a Jerry Barnett ensemble continued into the wee hours.
Money raised at the ball is distributed, in the form of cash grants, to various nonprofit cultural arts organizations in the greater Denver area. Recipients have included the Central City Opera, Denver Film Society, Imagination Makers Theater company and Curious Theatre Company.

The light up ahead is an oncoming train. New demands are adding to the existing growth in security and safety. The burglar/fire alarm industry continues to grow, fueled by advancements in computing technology and Internet protocol (IP) devices, software, cellular and smartphones. In fact, the new wave of smartphones have created a huge increase in demand for additional fiber optic backhaul facilities to support an overburdened cellular network.
Companies such as AVAYA, CISCO, and ShoreTel continue to enhance their unified communication systems to add features that work with the security and life/property safety systems. Electrical contractors are challenged to expand their traditional skill sets to address the challenges of integrated systems that blend physical infrastructure with information technology (IT). A vast majority of the electrical contractors in the United States have augmented their traditional electrical skills with low-voltage (copper and fiber optic) design and installation services for telecom and datacom. Voice/data/video (VDV) needs have transformed to include wireless support, energy efficiency, lighting control, and the integrated systems that are being introduced continually.
Security has become a boom industry as new technology gives us capabilities to increase our personal and professional security blanket. A substantial increase in cabling is required to functionalize CCTV and access control and other automation functions. Life safety systems also converge with the systems that work with door controls; heating, ventilating and air-conditioning; and energy management. We need to communicate with fire, smoke, and gas detectors with audible and visual signaling.
The changing role—adding service (repair and MAC)
The electrical contractor is also a full service provider of all aspects of the customers' needs dealing with electrical power, control, illumination, communication, safety and security systems. Many electrical contractors are available 24/7. From a consumer's perspective, the electrical contractor is usually the most effective and efficient source for design, implementation, and maintenance of these infrastructure systems. Surveys have confirmed that the electrical contractor reduces the total cost of ownership while increasing longevity with proper maintenance.
Energize, enhance, and be environmentally wise
Ron Zimmer, executive director of Continental Automated Building Association (CABA) www.caba.org told us that the growth of smart grids, in relation to intelligent buildings is an area of major focus. Research is available to provide a market size forecast and roadmap for smart grid and intelligent buildings. These growing trends are a significant opportunity for the electrical contractors. Understanding how they work and what they can contribute is necessary to capitalize on investments in smart technology.
In the future, the electrical contractor will lead us through the progression of intelligent buildings toward net-zero energy. There is a growing marketplace outlook that achieving energy sustainability and the growth of building intelligence are interdependent. Smart grid and integrated building systems contribute and exert a collective influence in the progression of high performance intelligent buildings. "Smart cities" may follow.
The smart grid is an advanced power grid for the 21st century in that it adds and integrates many varieties of digital computing and communication technologies and services with the power-delivery infrastructure. Bidirectional flows of energy and two-way communication and control capabilities will enable an array of new functionalities and applications for intelligent building infrastructure. In 2009, the United States smart grid industry was valued at approximately $21.4 billion. It will exceed an estimated $42.8 billion by 2014, according to "Zpryme Research: Smart Grid Market Report."
Look for the electrical contractor to provide an assessment within the commercial building space of net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs) and their relationship to smart grids. NZEBs are generally characterized as buildings that produce as much energy as they consume over a given time period, but definitions vary. NZEBs are, by design, very energy efficient, and they typically meet their remaining low energy needs with on- or off-site renewable energy.
The net result is a major increase in efficiency and a huge decrease in the cost of waste energy. The ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR is a major player in making this scenario into a reality.
Sensors (all types) add intelligence
Occupancy/Temperature sensors provide easy-to-deploy solutions for energy savings, but these devices can do more than shut down heating or cooling or lighting. They have evolved to sense when someone is in the room and adjust the temperature accordingly. Digital microprocessor circuitry continually analyze real-time occupancy patterns to adjust settings for maximum performance. They can also interface with the security systems to add features, such as individual access to internal information systems by level of authority. In life safety systems, addressable panels continuously monitor the operation of detectors, control sensitivity and perform a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 72 compliant sensitivity check.
Cameras everywhere is the trend
The world market for network video surveillance products increased by more than 200 percent from 2009 to 2012 and is forecast to continue growing strongly for many years to come. By 2013, the combined market for network cameras, video servers and network video recorders is forecast to exceed $3.6 billion. Some industry analysts forecast IP video surveillance product sales will continue to increase between 2012 and 2014, significantly disrupting and overtaking analog CCTV sales. Many experts are now bullish on the growth of IP video, which is driven by recent widespread advances in product offering and pricing.
"The security industry has been notoriously resistant to change, and new technologies generally take time to gain acceptance. The main challenge for suppliers is to educate the market about the many benefits of network video surveillance over traditional analog CCTV," said Adam Greenblatt, director of Strategic Marketing at Communications Supply Corp. (CSC), a subsidiary of WESCO International Inc. www.gocsc.com. CSC distributes a wide range of data communications and security solutions from the industry's leading manufacturers.
Camera technology continues to focus on compression techniques, analytics, smart recording, optics and other space-saving techniques as they navigate the network typography and IT infrastructure.
Multifunction integrated systems are creeping into every building infrastructure. Times have changed. Security/fire systems are no longer just separate systems but integrated into a turnkey approach that saves time and money for the user. Systems of all types perform a variety of tasks, and industries continue to merge and converge. Welcome to the new real world.

Songphon Munkongsujarit, a PhD student in Engineering and Technology Management, was one of two runner-up winners for the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) Graduate Student Literature Review Prize. Songphon received his award at AUTM's annual meeting in Annaheim, California, on March14-17.
Songphon's award winning paper provides a review of the state-of-the-art of innovation intermediaries. Innovation intermediaries are organizations that act as middlemen between people who have technology (e.g. in universities and government labs) and people who need technology to solve problems (e.g. industry). The paper is part of Songphon's doctoral research: he is investigating how social capital impacts the performance of innovation intermediaries in order to make technology transfer processes more efficient and innovative. Starting this summer, Songphon will collect data in a government organization in Thailand.
Dr. Antonie J. Jetter, Assistant Professor in Engineering and Technology Management, serves as Songphon's advisor.

New York Times bestseller, Georgetown University sociology professor, and one of America's premier public intellectuals, Michael Eric Dyson, joins us for a discussion of his new book, What Truth Sounds Like.
In 1963 Attorney General Robert Kennedy sought out James Baldwin to explain the rage that threatened to engulf black America. Baldwin brought along some friends, including playwright Lorraine Hansberry, psychologist Kenneth Clark, and activist Jerome Smith. It was Smith's relentless, unfiltered fury that set Kennedy on his heels. Kennedy walked away from the nearly 3-hour meeting angry that the black folk assembled didn't understand politics and weren't as easy to talk to as Martin Luther King. But his anger quickly gave way to empathy, especially for Smith. He set about changing policy, the meeting having transformed his thinking in fundamental ways.

Kenneth O. Elvik, Editor IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY BOOK REVIEWS Raymond de Roover, Business, Banking, and Economic Thought in Late Medievel and Early Modern Europe, Selected Studies of Ray-mond de Roover. Edited by Julius Kirshner with an introduction by Richard A. Goldthwaite. (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1974, pp. viii, 383, paper $4.95). Reviewed by Edwin Bartenstein California State University, Northridge There are many who agree that Professor de Roover was one of the finest historians of business in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. His sources were usually pure, direct from the origi-nals; and when he used a secondary source he documented thor-oughly and often with an evaluation. He was the ultimate researcher. His writing is clear and interesting, full of commentary and explana-tion that takes the reader back to the problems of the thirteenth to fifteenth century businessman. As a reader you experience the development of manipulative techniques of foreign language, which were designed to circumvent the existing usury laws which held all interest to be illegal. You are introduced to the people involved and their philosophies. A sample includes Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Alberti family of merchants, the Medici Banking family, and many popes, scholars, entrepreneurs, business failures, economists and piece work laborers. The book begins with lengthy introductions to de Roover's work by Goldthwaite and Kirshner. Professor Goldthwaite discusses de Roover's development as a businessman, scholar and writer. He traces the history of his research pointing out the major works. Kirshner's introductory article concentrates more on de Roover's analyses and attitudes toward the economic teachings and doctrines of the Scholastics, that group of churchmen who articulated so many of the ideas that eventually developed into modern economic theory. Ten of the eleven articles by de Roover are reprints of selections to fit the theme of the book. The other article, previously unpub-lished, is "Gerard de Malynes as an Economic Writer: From Scholas-ticism to Mercantilism." The dates of publication of the articles range 1941 through 1965.

Matt Adcock reviews Murder on the Orient Express (12A), starring Kenneth Branagh, Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp
Foul deeds are afoot on the most famous train in the world (other than perhaps The Hogworts Express). Here we have an all star update of Agatha Christie's famous whodunit which sees the ridiculously moustachioed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) pondering the killing of a Mr Edward Ratchett (Johnny Depp) which happens en route to Paris from Istanbul.
Murder on the Orient Express is blessed with an impressive cast which should in theory make this an incredible watch. The 12 suspects include young Mary Debenham (Daisy Ridley), flirty American Mrs. Hubbard (Michelle Pfeiffer), outspoken Pilar Estravados (Penelope Cruz) and haughty Princess Dragomiroff (Judi Dench) as well as Hilgarde Schmidt (Olivia Colman) and Countess Elena Andrenyi (Lucy Boynton) as the potential killer women. Also aboard are the potentially murderous male suspects such as Gerhard Hardman (Willem Dafoe), Hector MacQueen (Josh Gad), Edwards Masterman (Derek Jacobi) and more.
Alas, even with so many A-grade talents vying for screen time, the end result is a thrill-free snooze fest (I clocked several people gently snoring their way through this in the screening I was in). It's a shame because it all looks lovely and has occasional bursts of stunning cinematography but nothing here rivals the classic and much more sinister 1974 version in terms of anything other than production values.
It seems to take forever to get going, and lacks a consistent style which means that rather than an edge-of–your-seat mystery, Branagh delivers a ponderous mystery culminating in a weirdly underwhelming finale which sees Poirot and his crazy 'tache explaining the killer's motivation whilst the suspects are gathered at long table framed to look like the last supper.
Director Branagh is also guilty of giving himself the lion's share of screen time which feels a little self indulgent when there is so much other acting talent on hand. Oh and if his prosthetic moustache isn't up for a 'best supporting actor' award it will also be a crime.
There is surprisingly little nastiness, violence, cussing or gore – so you can take your granny with you without fear. But a horrendous murder in a claustrophobic setting like a train should really be more unnerving and involving.
In the end, this is a murderous cinematic train-ride that manages to not be a complete train-wreck but never feels like it hits full steam.

Three years ago, I felt the need to do something to put meaning back in my life again. The job I had moved to the Los Angeles area for wasn't turning out as I hoped, my family struggled to adapt to life in Southern California, and my intransigent psoriasis wouldn't cooperate with my constant reminders to go away. Instead of watching another season of 24 on DVD, I decided to do something constructive. I sent an email to the editor at HealthTalk to see if I could share my psoriasis story by blogging on their site. I started writing this blog on a volunteer basis for Healthtalk (and subsequently Everyday Health) a few weeks later.
On a recent morning, thoughts of how my psoriasis blogging started flooded my mind as I prepared for the day, a psoriasis day. I thought of the many times I wanted to give up on writing something about psoriasis every week. Each time I felt that way, I would find myself reading the comments on the blog and find that someone posted a thank you for writing, or an encouragement to keep on going. I would think to myself, "How did they know I was thinking of stopping?" and get back to my computer keyboard.
After putting away my medicine tub and washing my hands, I logged onto my health care provider's Web site to send an email to my dermatologist. I wrote, "Dear Dr. X, I wanted to update you on my psoriasis condition. I have been breaking out more than usual these past couple of weeks and I wanted to talk to you about what to do." In a matter of minutes after hitting the "send" button, my cell phone buzzed. I found a message from her nurse notifying me that my dermatologist was out of the office, but would reply to my email tomorrow. I looked at the angriest sores on my skin, knowing they would be menacing me for at least a few more days.
Since I worked late into the previous night, I decided to go into the office after an early lunch with my wife. I shared with her both my disappointment that it seemed like my treatments were starting to fail, and how excited I was to read comments on my last blog entry.
Later that afternoon I received an unexpected phone call from a friend who wanted to drop by the office to catch up. I told him I was thinking about attending my first National Psoriasis Foundation meeting that evening to explore volunteer opportunities in their newly formed Los Angeles Community Division. He and a coworker convinced me to go to the meeting despite my protests about the traffic, time, and anxiety of meeting new people.
I almost didn't make it to the meeting. The first ten miles of my twenty-mile trek from the office took almost 75 minutes. Exasperated, I wanted to turn around and go home, but the traffic in that direction was just as congested. I don't normally drive into the city of Los Angeles, much less at rush hour. Two hours later I finally made it to the conference room where the meeting had already started. I missed introductions, but still heard what I wanted to hear — how I might get involved in supporting psoriasis work in the Los Angeles area.
Even though I had avoided these kinds of meetings in the past, I felt glad I made the effort. As a bonus, I met another psoriatic who lives in my town, and another who leads a support group about a thirty-minute drive from my home. On the drive back, I discussed with my wife the possibility of volunteering, even though I have more than enough already on my plate. She encouraged me to go for it, knowing that we could always adjust our time commitments based on how things evolve.
At home I found my three children waiting for me to look over fifth grade math, practice high school Chinese, and play the Monopoly Deal card game. Each of them knew I went to a psoriasis meeting and listened with interest as I shared my experience.
Finally, I prepared for bed as I always do — taking a shower and caring for my skin. I could now put another psoriasis day, and year, in the books.

Every year we throw a harvest party, in honor of the completed season. It's essentially an internal happening, and it's quite an affair, to say the least.
A great deal of the event focus goes on the vineyard teams and their families; face painting, margaritas, and an acre of homemade guacamole are just some of the highlights. But all in all, it's a celebration for everyone who works for Ridge, and as such, there is always a panoply of extraordinary wine to enjoy as well.
We generally commence the evening with a selection of wines we've been gifted by friends and colleagues in the industry over the preceding year; local was definitely on display for this year's edition, as event guests enjoyed wines from — among others — Big Basin, Varner, Thomas Fogarty, and Cooper-Garrod.
There was no scarcity of Ridge wine either, and in addition to sampling the full crop of current releases, we went digging deep into the vaults as well. This year proved to be an exemplary enactment of oeno-spelunking, as we unearthed — among other delicious niceties — two absolutely preposterous rarities: 6L bottles of 1980 and 1985 Monte Bello!
Weather has been an almost laughably comi-tragic presence at Harvest Party's past; fierce, horizontally blazing winds, pounding rains, near-freezing temperatures have, more often than not, been the event norm. But this year the heavens were most decidedly smiling; the air was crisp, temperatures were mild, and the moon shone bright as a celestial nightlight.
Under that moon, as the night wore down, and the spackle of stars shone brighter as the party's low hum began to subside, I took a moment to reflect on it all; not on the party, not on the wine, not even on the fine company present, but rather, on the harvest itself; what it meant, and all that came and went with it.
Harvest is an extraordinary time, full of pressure and demand; expectation and exhaustion, and so many moving parts contribute in so many different ways. I myself am of course only peripheral at best, being just a chronicler and not a full participant per se, but even as merely an embedded journalist of sorts, the emotional vagabondage is a moving one, and as such, my ruminations were weighty ones.
I remembered my leaving the Monte Bello Winery on the final day of crush.
This was it, the very last fruit had come in, the very last grape had been picked. It was over. I got into my car, and turned on the radio. An almost implausibly melancholic and stately classical work broke forth from my speakers, and its wise and striking harmonies carried me out the gate, and back down through the vineyards …

The American Academy of Pediatric (AAP) Friends of Children Fund provides resources and initiatives that have a true impact on the health and well being of children.
This year immediately following the earthquake in Haiti, the AAP sent resources from the Friends of Children Fund to purchase a truckload of medical supplies for St. Damien Children's Hospital, Haiti's only free pediatric hospital. The AAP has also helped obtain tents for homeless pediatric residents and members of the Haitian Pediatric Society. In addition, funding will be used to purchase more medical supplies, plus food, transportation, and stipends for the residents, so that they can continue caring for children and their families.
AAP also is working with the Chilean Pediatric Society and the ministry of health in Chile to determine the needs of children and pediatricians in Chile following that country's earthquake and tsunami. So far, donated funds have purchased milk, diapers, baby clothes, and medicines for Chilean children.
Support from the Friends of Children Fund has also funded projects in the United States. Through Healthy People 2010 Grants, AAP is reducing child injury and death due to fires and car accidents.
The Arkansas AAP Chapter used Friends of Children Fund donations to collaborate with the local fire department to install 100 smoke detectors in homes and place standard fire preventions kits on all neighborhood fire trucks, held a safety fair highlighting fire prevention, developed "files for life" magnets to post family member's medical information, and attached more visible address numbers to 75 homes.
The Maryland AAP Chapter used Friends of Children Fund donations to develop the "We are Responsible - Parent Teen Driving Agreement" program. The Chapter created a DVD on the dangers of distracted driving, speeding, and not wearing seat belts. A Parent Teen Driving Agreement that both parents and students agree to sign and follow was also developed. Presentation copies of the DVD and sample agreements were offered at Pediatric Grand Rounds at hospitals across the state.
Just a few more examples of how the AAP and our nation's pediatricians are working to improve the lives of children everywhere.

So, what exactly is involved in calculating solar panels cost in Bonsall? When thinking about solar power very few people know the way the cost of solar panel systems is actually measured. Or even, for that matter, do we automatically grasp the connection relating to the cost of solar power and the value of solar power. We all know that gasoline prices are in dollars per gallon. We likewise are all aware of approximately how far we'll be able to drive after spending 40 bucks for a tank of gas. In contrast to a tank of gas, the value of which can be consumed pretty much instantly, solar panels deliver their value across a period of time.
SolarCity's Stock Should Continue To Rise As Solar Becomes More Affordable - Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA)
Solar Power, Inc. (OTCQB:SOPW): Why this $1 Billion Company Could Fall By More Than 80%
When a stock rises from $.25 a share to close to $3.00 a share in a little over 3 months, it's bound to get your attention. Naturally, I became curious as to the catalyst that is driving this move and most importantly, is the share price sustainable. After looking into the company further it became very apparent that the company is significantly over valued with a market cap of $1 billion. With the stock price at $2.40 per share, investors could potentially lose 80% of their investment (or more).
Share Structure
The company currently reports having 334 million shares outstanding within their most recent 10-Q filing. Buried within the filings are a number of toxic debt conversions that could adversely affect the company's share price in the future.
In the second quarter of 2014, the company increased the amount of authorized shares from 250,000,000 to 1,000,000 shares. Around the same time of the increase in authorized shares, the company issued 40,625,000 shares of common stock to a non-U.S. investor at a price of $.16 a share (Source: 10-Q Filing)
In July 2014 the Company issued a large number of shares via a convertible bond and a private placement at a deep discount. 68,750,000 shares of common stock were issued at $.16 per share along with another 26,562,500 shares of common stock at $.16 per share.
Since the period ending June 30, the company entered into yet another agreement to sell 92,620,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.27 per share. This private placement was concluded on September 17 and increased the number of outstanding shares to a total of 426,771,956 shares.
In total, the company has issued 135,937,500 shares of common stock since May at a price of $.16 per share along with another 92,620,000 shares at a price of $.27 per share. During this same time, the share price has increased from $.20 per share to $2.40 per share, and increase of over 1000%. Since the 92 million private placement took place after the period ending on June 30, 2014, the actual number of outstanding shares is over 425 million shares. At a closing price of $2.40, this puts the current market cap of Solar Power, Inc. over $1,000,000,000.
LDK Solar Co. owns 42.4% of the Company's outstanding shares as of August 19, 2014. On October 21, LDK Solar Co. filed for bankruptcy. Despite the large number of positive press releases produced by the company, they have failed to disclose this material fact.
In addition to the bankruptcy of the Company's parent company and majority shareholder, the Company also has accounts payable due to LDK Solar Co. of $38.7 million. The Company admits within their filings that should LDK Solar demand payment (which is likely due to their bankruptcy filing), that they do not have the ability to make payment without additional sources of financing. With the recent increase in authorized shares, it can be reasonably concluded that Solar Power Inc. will need to dilute shareholders even further in the future.
(Source: 10-Q Filing)
Contact Information
Solar Power Inc. lists their phone number at otcmarkets.com as well as their own website at solarpowerinc.com. The two phone numbers listed are 916-770-8100 and 800-548-8767. Both of these phone numbers will not connect you to the company and will instead put you into a voicemail for a "Susan Carter." Susan Carter appears to have no affiliation with the company whatsoever.
With 426 million shares outstanding, the current market cap of Solar Power, Inc. is over $1 Billion and the company does not even maintain a working phone number. For this reason, along with the many other red flags that exist, we urge investors to take profits immediately before it's too late. Also, with the number of red flags that exist along with the billion dollar market cap of the company, it is very likely regulators will take notice which will then put the stock at a serious risk of a halt.

Chemical in Tap Water and Pesticides Tied to AllergiesHigh levels of dichlorophenols, a chemical used in pesticides and to chlorinate water, may make people more susceptible to developing food allergies.
MONDAY, Dec. 3, 2012 — Pesticides and tap water may contribute to growing allergy prevalence in the United States, according to new research.
A study of 2,211 people ages 6 and up who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2006) found that high levels of dichlorophenols, chemicals used as pesticides and to chlorinate water, are associated with the presence of food allergies. The findings suggest excess amounts might play a role in the rising rates of people sensitive to foods like milk, eggs, peanuts, wheat, tree nuts, soy, fish, and shellfish.
According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, allergy prevalence rose 18 percent in children younger than 18 from 1997 to 2007. About 1 in 12 kids has at least one food allergy, based on the findings of a nationally representative survey released in 2011.
"Our research shows that high levels of dichlorophenol-containing pesticides can possibly weaken food tolerance in some people, causing food allergy," said lead study author Elina Jerschow, MD, in a release from the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, with which she is a fellow. "This chemical is commonly found in pesticides used by farmers and consumer insect and weed control products, as well as tap water."
In their report, published in the December issue of Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the researchers speculate that Americans predominantly ingest dichlorophenols through drinking chlorinated tap water and eating crops that have been treated with dichlorophenol-containing pesticides. Although they note that wide consumption of bottled water in the United States may place a greater portion of the blame on crops.
The study did not cover specifically how dichlorophenols might influence food sensitivity. That's a question for further research.

Accounting Research BULLETINS No. 31 Inventory Reserves Issued by the Committee on Accounting Procedure, American Institute of Accountants 270 Madison Avenue, New York 16, N. Y. Copyright 1947 by American Institute of Accountants 1. Reserves designed to set aside a part of current profits to absorb losses feared or anticipated in respect to inventories on hand, or in connection with future purchases, are the subject of this bulletin. Charges to provide, either directly or by use of a reserve, for obso-lescence, deterioration, or similar losses, or for reducing an inventory to market, or for reducing an inventory to a recognized basis such as last-in first-out or its equivalent in accordance with an announced change in policy to be consistently followed thereafter, are regarded as proper charges to income, and are not under consideration in this bulletin. The committee has already dealt with reserves arising out of the war,1 and with general purpose contingency reserves.2 2. The committee has previously3 recognized the character of the income statement as a tentative installment in the long-time financial results, and is aware of the tendency to exaggerate the sig-nificance of the net income for a single year. Nevertheless, there still exists the responsibility for determining net income as fairly as possible by sound methods consistently applied, and the duty to show it clearly. 3. In accomplishing this objective, it has been deemed desirable to provide, by charges in the current income statement, properly classified, for all foreseeable costs and losses applicable against cur- rent revenues, to the extent that they can be measured and allocated to fiscal periods with reasonable approximation.4 In applying this rule, inventories on hand or contracted for should be priced in accordance with principles recently stated by the committee.5 When 1 Accounting Research Bulletins Nos. 13 and 26. 2Accounting Research Bulletin No. 28. 3Accounting Research Bulletin No. 8, p. 64. 4Accounting Research Bulletin No. 13, p. 111. 5Accounting Research Bulletin No. 29. 2 5 5 October, 1947

Best Tip on Meat this Week
One of the things that I love about interacting on Facebook and my website is the collective advice that I get from readers and fans. Everyone has something to contribute and I often learn the neatest things!
Dianne W., who attended my workshop on Saturday, wrote me an e-mail thanking me for the workshop and also offering a wonderful tip on saving on meat. I really can't put it any better myself, so I'm going to directly quote her below:
Here is the Best Deal on meat this week. Food Lion is offering sirloin tips for $2.28 lb. The butcher will cut it into whatever you like. Ground sirloin,stew beef,cube steak,sirloin steak,roast !!! Any of these would cost over $4.00 lb. normally!!! And the ground beef is premium lean meat near 98-99% fat-free. Much healthier! Also, upon request, the butcher will wrap the meat in individual packages,ready to go into your freezer! Therefore, saving you time and money of repackaging when you get home! I try to purchase enough to last until the next sale [normally two whole tips will be enough]. Again, thank you for sharing your information,and helping all your students better the lives of our families.
Thank you Dianne for your nice comments and for sharing your meat-saving expertise with all of us! The price on meat that she quoted is available through tonight at Food Lion, so hop on over and try out Dianne's tip!

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Voluntary Agreement Resolves Allegations of Discrimination
HOUSTON -- The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Eagle Global Logistics f/k/a Eagle U.S.A. Airfreight, Inc., announced today that they have reached a $9,000,000 voluntary settlement which has been submitted for approval by U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Hughes in Houston, Texas. The settlement through a Consent Decree avoids protracted litigation by the EEOC on behalf of a class of African-Americans, Hispanics, and female employees and applicants who were allegedly subjected to race, gender, age, national origin discrimination, and harassment on the basis of sex and retaliation.
In the Commission's Intervention Complaint and the Amended Complaint, the EEOC alleged that Eagle violated Title VII, Equal Pay Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act by: failing and or refusing to promote African-Americans, Hispanics, and female employees into managerial and sales positions; failing and/or refusing to recruit and hire these same groups into warehouse, delivery, and truck driver positions, demoting females from managerial positions; imposing disparate discipline to African-Americans, Hispanics, and female employees; maintaining a hostile working environment against African-Americans, Hispanics, and females with respect to terms, conditions, and privileges of employment; by failing to adequately investigate incidents of sexual and gender harassment; by failing to maintain proper records regarding applicants for employment positions with Eagle; paying African- Americans, Hispanics and female employees less than Caucasian and/or male employees for performing similar or comparable work; and by discriminating against older female and older African- American employees and applicants for employment. Eagle has denied the allegations made by the EEOC.
Under the Consent Decree, which will be enforced over the next three years, Eagle will pay a sum of $8,500,000 for back pay and damages to be allocated to the class members, which consist of African-Americans, Hispanics, and female employees employed by Eagle at any time between December 1, 1995 and December 30, 2000, and former applicants who sought employment at Eagle during the period December 1, 1995 to December 31, 2000. All claimants who assert claims for compensation under the Decree must complete and return a claim form to the claims administrator.
In addition, Eagle will pay $500,000 to establish a Leadership Development Program. This Program is intended by Eagle and EEOC to benefit minorities and women by preparing them for leadership roles in employment at Eagle. The Program will include the distribution of funds to set up scholarships and facilitate other educational and advancement opportunities for current and prospective Eagle employees.
Eagle also agreed to continue vigorous enforcement of its existing sexual harassment policy and policy prohibiting discrimination. Eagle has agreed to provide annual mandatory training to all supervisors concerning the avoidance of harassment and discrimination (by reason of age, sex, gender, national origin and/or race) and the investigation of complaints of harassment and discrimination; to provide mandatory harassment training to all new employees during employee orientation; to provide mandatory harassment training to all new senior management officials and to provide training to all persons charged with handling complaints of age, race, national origin, gender and/or sexual harassment, sex-based harassment and/or retaliation to educate them on recognizing harassment and discrimination in the workplace and the techniques for investigating and eliminating it.
Katharine W. Kores, EEOC Regional Attorney, said: "This is a fair and equitable settlement for the EEOC and Eagle. This settlement will help to foster a work environment that is free of race, age, sex, national origin, and sex-based harassment and retaliation. It not only provides relief for past discrimination but also an opportunity for qualified African-Americans, Hispanics and females employees to advance in the future with Eagle. In the current economy, it is particularly important to get appropriate relief to victims of discrimination promptly. This settlement allows us to accomplish our mission and avoid protracted and costly litigation."
Jim Crane, Chief Executive Officer for Eagle, stated: "This settlement represents our real commitment to our employees, and, specifically, our ongoing commitment to a productive work environment free of discrimination . Eagle does not and will not tolerate discrimination or harassment in the workplace on the basis of race, age, national origin, gender, nor does Eagle tolerate retaliation against those who might complain of discrimination. While we continue to deny the EEOC's allegations, we feel that it is in the best interest of our Company and its future to resolve this matter at this time in a productive, forward-looking manner. In this regard, and in an effort to provide educational and development opportunities to qualified current and prospective female and minority employees, Eagle has proposed as a part of this resolution with the EEOC, the creation of a Leadership Development Program. Through this Program, we hope to increase the pool of qualified individuals within Eagle for potential advancement at the Company. We also hope to provide meaningful work experience for female and minority students in high school and college in an effort to encourage them to pursue careers with Eagle or other employers in the transportation industry."
The EEOC enforces Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Equal Pay Act, and disability discrimination in the federal sector. Further information about the Commission is available on its Web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Colorado has lost another quarterback.
Third-year sophomore John Schrock has decided to give up football and focus more of his time on school, head coach Mike MacIntyre said on Saturday.
Schrock plans to attend medical school after completing his undergraduate degree in integrative physiology. He plans to stay at CU as a student.
"It was a tough decision for John as he does love football, but we talked and he is serious about becoming a doctor," MacIntyre said. "He decided it was in his best interests to leave the team to concentrate on his academics. He is a fine young man and I think he will be successful in his pursuits."
A native of Kansas City, Kan., Schrock is the third quarterback to leave the team since the end of spring drills in April.
Nick Hirschman decided to transfer to Akron, where he plans to play football and hopes to earn a starting job. Last week, redshirt freshman Shane Dillon announced he is leaving CU and plans to pursue playing basketball at another school.
The Buffs also lost senior Jordan Webb, who started the first nine games in 2012, to a knee injury during the spring. Webb is hoping to return at some point this season, but certainly won't be ready to compete for the starting quarterback job when camp opens next month.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Schrock was a walk-on from Shawnee Mission East High School in Kansas City. He has been a valuable member of scout team in both of his seasons in the program and was expected to give the Buffs some good depth under center this year.
He played in two games late last season, completing the only pass he threw, for 7 yards. He also ran once for a 1-yard loss.
During the four main scrimmages this past spring, Schrock went 13-for-22 for 124 yards and two interceptions.
Schrock's departure leaves CU with just four healthy quarterbacks going into fall camp.
Junior Connor Wood is listed atop the depth chart after a solid performance in the spring. Wood has also been named a captain and has taken on a leadership role for the team over the summer. Wood, who is 6-3, 230 pounds, started one game in 2012 and completed 21-of-42 passes for 265 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions last season.
Sophomore Stevie Joe Dorman is the only other quarterback who went through spring drills with the team. The 6-2, 220-pounder is entering his third season at CU.
Junior college transfer Jordan Gehrke and true freshman Sefo Liufau joined the program this summer. Both are expected to battle Wood for the starting job this fall.
Gehrke is a 6-2, 190-pound transfer from Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College. Last year at Scottsdale, he completed 174 of 366 passes for 2,388 yards, 22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He has four years to use three years of eligibility.
Liufau is hoping to become the first true freshman in CU history to open the season as the starter. As a senior at Bellarmine Prep in Tacoma, Wash., he completed 193 of 280 passes for 2,518 yards with 24 touchdowns and only five interceptions. He also ran for 291 yard and eight touchdowns.
MacIntyre has said he will open the competition for the starting job to all of his quarterbacks.

Easter Jeep Safari - Potato Salad Hill Fundraiser and Cleanup 2016
It's that time of year again! Easter Jeep Safari is just around the corner and we've again taken on the task of cleaning up Potato Salad Hill and raising some money to fund a dumpster and porta-potties. We really could use help from the members of Colorado 4x4 financially and physically.
For 2016 Easter week Potato Salad Hill (PSH) will be open and as large of an attraction as ever and this year is the 10th Anniversary of the PSH Cleanup during EJS!
RME has already contacted the BLM and the Sheriff's office who are all in favor of seeing the continued support from RME and the off-road community. As you probably know the PSH area is small, gathers large crowds and has no facilities to accommodate those numbers. In years past it has brought many problems for the Sheriff's office and the BLM who are responsible for the land. Both the BLM and Sheriff's office will continue to monitor this area during this high traffic weekend. Our focused efforts in that area really can go a long way with showing the groups that the rockcrawlers take land clean up and use serious.
Several years ago Jeff Knoll pioneered the idea of collecting funds and picking up trash to help keep PSH open to the public for the Easter weekend. Since then RME has stepped up to take that project over and continue the fantastic start given by Jeff. Again for 2016 it is our turn to give back to Moab. Help us ensure that the off-road community can work with the local governments, and we can all work together to keep PSH open. Last year RME members quickly raised money to help pay for the dumpsters and port-a-potties that were stationed at PSH for the entire week! We had several members who were able to walk the area to pick up litter and have it taken care of.
Our efforts were noticed and appreciated. One positive example is the good comments we received from "The Solutions of Moab" a recycling center adjacent to the PSH area who takes a personal interest in the PSH area and works closely with the BLM and city council on the condition of PSH. Those few hours spent went a long way for our cause!
In February 2012, RME4x4.com (including all members who helped out) was awarded a plaque for the efforts and donations during Easter Jeep Safari 2011!
This year I can only hope for the same. I would like to challenge you to help raise $2000 (or more!) to fund this project. I would also like to challenge members who are in Moab those times to take a few minutes out of their vacation and walk the area to keep it clean.
Donations can be made via PayPal to email@example.com
Keep an eye on the progress of the fundraiser here- http://www.rme4x4.com/PSHcleanup.php
All funds will go directly to the cleanup of the area, dumpsters and port-a-potties. Anything collected over the needed amount will be donated to the RR4W MUD fund. (Multi Use Defense Fund to delegate money to support pro-active measures in land use issues)
We're asking for help with cleaning up PSH, picking up trash in the mornings (or any time you're there) during EJS. Later in the week will need the most effort, especially Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hope to see you out there!

Thanks for the support guys, we're now almost 1/2 way to our goal!
Keep it coming!
March 11th, 2016, 10:46 AM #3
We met our goal this morning, lots of donations coming in big & small and we appreciate every dollar! We exceeded our goal by $210, so that amount (plus any more that comes in) will go to the RR4W Multiple Use Defense Funds to help keep trails open in Moab! Everyone that helped made a huge contribution towards making the 4WD community continue to look good. Potato Salad Hill is public land and a very visible location for the public and those that are critical of the 4WD users. Thanks for caring and showing it with your donation!!
If you'll be in Moab for EJS, please try to swing Potato Salad Hill and make sure it's staying clean! Best times will be in the mornings, especially later in the week.... Thursday, Friday & Saturday.

Potato Salad Hill looked great this morning! I got there around 8 AM and met Jeff Knoll and Del Albright out there, they were wrapping up their efforts. I really had to cover a lot of ground and only found 2 pieces of trash.
March 25th, 2016, 07:58 PM #7
That's awesome that's all there was. Sucks there was any. But for as busy as it appeared to be out there on social media, that's not bad.Just boogie
March 25th, 2016, 08:19 PM #8
Not bad at all, I think most people that are stopping by PSH nowadays see how clean it is and think twice about dumping their trash on the ground.

Great work!Have you ever seen a man eat so much fish?
March 27th, 2016, 12:36 PM #10
For sure, a lot of people stepped up to make this happen!

Well, Easter Jeep Safari has passed for another year and we had another very successful cleanup, perfect for the 10 Yr anniversary of the project! On Friday morning I met Jeff Knoll and Del Albright out at Potato Salad Hill, they had already combed the area and picked up a little trash. Jeff shot a quick video to celebrate the 10 yr anniversary of the cleanup, detailing the relationship that has been build with a local 'environmentalist' and Del talked about how just one person can make a massive difference.
And to wrap it all up, the checks are going out to pay for the dumpsters, porta-potties and the remaining amount to the Red Rock 4Wheelers MUD Fund!
For me, this has been a great movement to be involved with. I remember how in years past Potato Salad Hill would get absolutely trashed, even dirty TP would be left on the ground. Now it's beautiful, hard to find any trash at all during it's most used time of year! Many thanks to all those that have supported this effort over the last 10 years, financially and physically! It will be fun to see where it goes over the next 10 years!

I love the folk song January Man by Dave Goulder. The first time I heard the song was in a version sung by Christy Moore while driving a back road of County Kerry, in Ireland.
In this song, each month is represented by a man. "The poor November Man" as the song goes, "Sees fire and wind and mist and rain and winter air."
Good Grief…the November Man has MS!
Each month we take time in the first week to allow for an ongoing discussion of how your multiple sclerosis is treating you. This is a popular spot for comments and an open exchange of ideas and issues.
I love to go back and read the comments throughout the month.
As you may have gathered from my last few postings, my MS has been making itself known even more than most days. I'm battling, these days. My legs are heavy and slow to respond, my MS Hug is giving a squeeze to my upper back and though I'm totally overwhelmed with fatigue, I'm not sleeping more than four hours per night (and those around me are suffering the consequences…Trevis has been pretty crabby of late).
I have a very light schedule for the rest of the week, so I'm committed to laying low and seeing if I can't ease this "thing" back into its shell.
How is your MS today?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Many reports leading up to the beginning of April had placed Microsoft to finally announce the Xbox 720 by the end of April.
Rumor has the next Xbox reveal May 21st, could be the always on rumor was a smokescreen for used game passes, which people wouldn't have an issue with, as long as the console isn't DRM.
M$ agenda is having their cablebox720 DRM, isn't XBL enough??
I thought XBL was ripoff for not being able to play the game i own online, but with "Always On" crap you'll have to pay and stay connected to play the SP. PS4 will rule the next gen for sure.
Xbox meh ill pass they can keep kinect focus garbage only idiots will give them a second chance with all the bs they did wrong (RROD fiasco, paying for online, kinect lies and garbage, few exclusive ips to mention, etc....) but Sony is doing things right and are about to take the industry by storm!!!! Lets get it!!!!!
sony is definetly the try hards this gen.. so what does that tell u ? that there taking microsoft seriously this gen there big heads have came back to reality...which is only good for us the gamers.. until they fix the free online an make it comparable to xbl im not interested i had both systems last gen an i never used my ps3 for gaming besides for my guitar hero stuff casue u cant buy that anymore...i bought ps3 for socom 4 what a bad game an the online experience was horrible ... we would sit on xbl in a party while playing on ps3 so we could communicate sad.. so sony has guranteed best online experience this gen fastest blah blah blah lets hope so an i bet it wont be free ull have to have plus which last i checked most of the moron ps3 fanboys are paying for online as well.. an let me tell u payin for plus so u can play a beta or get maps ontime instead of weeks later thats not a ripoff at all right? payin for psn is the biggest ripoff period its horrible...
id rather be forced to have a allways on system then play on the playstation network thats how bad it is
Personally, I don't think the DRM rumor has anything to do with the reason why MS decided to push back the Xbox 720 announcement.
Though, I believe that the MS announcement won't make any difference if the reveal of their next GEN console is equal to the PS4 reveal.
With that being said, MS have to bring the ruckus this time. I mean, Anything above average is not acceptable.

AUSTIN, Texas - Lance Armstrong's attorney says the disgraced cyclist won't interview under oath with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency officials who wanted him to tell them all he knows about doping.
USADA officials had said Armstrong must speak with them if he hoped to reduce his lifetime ban from sports. Wednesday was the deadline for him to agree to interview.
After more than two months of negotiations, Armstrong attorney Tim Herman says Armstrong won't participate in a process designed "only to demonize selected individuals."
Armstrong has said he was willing to participate in an international effort to clean up cycling.
In January, he admitted to doping to win seven Tour de France titles. Those titles have been stripped.

ANSYS Releases New Version Of Flagship Products
Released : 03 Dec 2013
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) today announced the availability of its leading engineering simulation solution, ANSYS® 15.0, providing new, unique capabilities and enhancements that offer the most advanced approach to guide and optimize product designs.
ANSYS 15.0 delivers major advancements across the entire portfolio, including structures, fluids and electromagnetics. In addition, this enhanced version enables complete multiphysics workflows for leading simulation practices.
Highlights for structures in this release include giving users greater insight into simulating composites. Enhancements to the fluids portfolio features the capability for studying turbomachinery flow paths with greater fidelity than ever, while in electromagnetics, ANSYS 15.0 offers the most comprehensive electric motor design process.
The release enhances ANSYS' industry-leading pre-processing capabilities, enabling users to quickly and accurately mesh the widest range of model size and complexity regardless of type of physics simulated. ANSYS 15.0 also builds on the company's global leadership in high-performance computing (HPC), speeding up already best-in-class performance by a factor of five.
"ANSYS 15.0 builds upon our four decades of leadership in engineering simulation software," said Walid Abu-Hadba, ANSYS chief product officer. "We've made dramatic upgrades in each of the key physics areas through performance improvements and the introduction of new solver capabilities. We continue to extend our leadership in simulation through such innovations as our adjoint solver, HPC scalability and efficient simulation modeling from the micron to the full system."
Structural Analysis: Advanced Materials Systems Design
The release extends ANSYS' advanced solution for evaluating product performance of composites materials, which are often used to improve fuel efficiency by reducing weight. Simulating composites can require large mathematical solutions. To reduce overall computation time, ANSYS 15.0 facilitates submodeling techniques in the pre-processing workflow so users can create high-fidelity local results while employing a coarser model globally.
ANSYS 15.0 also introduces a new multiphysics approach to composites simulation to optimize wireless design and thermal management. Users define spatially dependent material properties for electromagnetic simulation and then couple those results to the structural analysis.
Other new features in the structural suite include:
- Improved performance through innovative developments of completely new solvers, such as the subspace eigensolver for faster computation of eigenmodes and eigenfrequencies in structural analysis
- Bolt thread modeling as a contact, rather than detailed geometry, when the user defines thread properties over a given cylindrical area
- Multiple finite element models that can be assembled, leveraging all the setup details of individual models
Fluid Dynamics: Turbomachinery Flow Path Solutions
Turbomachinery developers are under tremendous pressure to improve efficiency and reliability. ANSYS 15.0 delivers the ideal high-fidelity solution for flow, thermal, stress and dynamics across a broad range of conditions and physical phenomena. Some of the enhancements include:
- For forced-response analysis, the capability to directly export time-varying pressure loads determined in a transient flow simulation, in a form that can be immediately applied as a load in ANSYS Mechanical™ modal analysis
- An exit-corrected mass flow boundary condition in ANSYS CFX® that produces fast and robust simulation along the entire compressor speed line, from deep choke to stall
- Built-in aero-elastic damping calculation and monitoring
"With ANSYS CFX moving mesh capabilities, a certain range of geometric variants of the hydroturbine we design could be simulated easier and faster by morphing the computational mesh. This saves us pre-processing time when evaluating different designs because we do not have to fully remesh each design variant," said Alexander Jung of Voith Hydro.
Additional examples of fluids enhancements include:
- The adjoint solver supports problems with up to 30 million cells. Because of the adjoint energy equation's core functionality, observables can be defined as various integrals of heat flux and temperature — including averages and variances
- The multiphase volume of fluid (VOF) model is up to 36 percent faster. Multiphase transient simulation is also faster thanks to new compatibility with adaptive time stepping
- Heat transfer between fluid and fabricated solid structure components has been improved due to the introduction of multilayer shell conduction and anisotropic heat conduction simulation capabilities
Electromagnetics: Electric Motor and Drive Design Methodology
- ANSYS 15.0 advances the already-leading motor and drive design solution offered through ANSYS Maxwell® and ANSYS Simplorer® by extending integration into other physics. This advanced solution enables engineers to quickly explore design alternatives, detect fault conditions, integrate electric machines with power electronic drives and validate control software. This end-to-end solution ensures optimized, power efficient motor and drive designs. New highlights include: A new force-coupling capability between low-frequency electromagnetics (Maxwell) and structural (Mechanical) tools for acoustics analysis, delivering the insight to minimize noise in electric motors and other machines
- A connection between circuit simulator Simplorer and automatic embedded code generator SCADE Suite®, creating a collaborative design environment for optimizing interactions between control system software and hardware. This design flow eliminates the silos between hardware and software development allowing users to validate the integration of a machine and the control software early in the design process
"ANSYS 15.0's advanced motor design capabilities are phenomenal," said Dr. Dan Ionel, chief engineer at Regal Beloit. "The combination of magnetic vector hysteresis, NVH analysis and embedded software provides a comprehensive methodology for the design of efficient, reliable and optimized electrical machines working with the electric drive and digital control system."
ANSYS 15.0 offers additional capabilities in the electromagnetics suite that drive high-speed wireless communication design including:
- Specialized meshing technology for silicon substrates, redistribution layers, packages and printed circuit boards that creates 3-D meshes up to 30 times faster than previous releases. This new meshing technology appeals to a broad class of electrical engineers that previously relied on design rules or electromagnetic specialists to validate their designs. The speed and ease of use advancements allow 3-D electromagnetic analysis to be included earlier in the design process thus eliminating costly downstream errors.
- Design flow customization that supports specialized workflows, such as cable modeling and transmission line modeling, using ANSYS HFSS™, ANSYS Q3D Extractor® and ANSYS DesignerSI™
Streamlined Pre-processing
ANSYS delivers pre-processing capabilities in each new release that automate simulation model setup while still providing flexibility to address application-specific requirements through manual methods. Much of this is enabled through the most complete set of meshing technologies, ensuring that users can robustly mesh the widest range of engineering applications. Incorporating the ANSYS Workbench platform, which provides an integrated workflow modeling paradigm across all physics, enables almost any problem to be set up in a single environment for achieving the best application-specific mesh possible.
Extensive setup time can be a deterrent to applying simulation technology and fully realizing its benefits. ANSYS 15.0 includes many solutions for pre-processing automation and robustness, helping users perform simulation more efficiently, follow best practices, and, ultimately, arrive at results and engineering decisions significantly faster. Enhancements provide:
- Dramatically enhanced performance through a parallel part-by-part meshing engine that delivers up to a 27 times reduction in meshing large assemblies
- Fast creation of high-quality hexahedral meshes. ANSYS 15.0 creates such meshes automatically, even when multiple bodies or geometry orientations are present.
- A dramatic reduction in meshing time. Fluent 15.0 meshing leverages its unmatched HPC capabilities and scalability to quickly deliver parallel meshing. For example, using eight cores, a 42 million cell mesh can be meshed more than seven times faster than if a single CPU were used.
"Thanks to the progress in Fluent meshing technology and workflow, pre-processing for an entire vehicle for an underhood air flow study really became a breeze. Starting from dirty CAD geometries and setting up a list of parameters in a template by the end of the day, you can get a good-quality volume mesh the next morning," said Qin Yang, aerothermal-fluid simulation and analysis engineer of Navistar, Inc.
HPC Scalability
ANSYS continues the tradition of HPC leadership with this latest release, reaffirming a commitment to software development that leverages the latest hardware computing technologies, no matter the physics discipline. ANSYS 15.0 delivers important new capabilities for HPC job management and remote access to simulation, supporting the trend toward scaled-up data center-based deployment of simulation.
The latest release leverages the power of modern high-performance computing hardware and software technologies to provide solutions for large models in a compressed timeframe:
- While delivering groundbreaking scale-up performance at 15,000 cores for large (100 M+ cells) models, Fluent features significantly improved solver and parallel efficiency at lower core counts. CFX scalability is improved on larger core counts. For example, an industrial six-stage axial compressor case showed a five-times speed-up
- Maxwell delivers an HPC performance increase of five times due to advanced multithreading enhancements
- New multi-level HPC technology introduced in ANSYS HFSS enables users to leverage more nodes of a compute cluster or cloud environment to accelerate their design efforts through combined distribution of design parameters, frequencies and multi-core solvers, an industry first
ANSYS 15.0 contains many more new capabilities, which are detailed at www.ansys.com/ansys15.0. Current customers can also download the latest version on the ANSYS Customer Portal.
