The freight services are used everywhere, but people tend to ignore the importance of the shipping calculator. Whether you are offering the domestic or international freight services, the postage calculator[1] should be used for calculating the weight of the freight. The shipping industry is said to be using these instruments, and there are many online solutions too for the calculation nowadays.The users can look forward to land on the various platform and let them know your requirements.
With the internet, the things have been quite easy to proceed, and people found it feasible to deal with the same too. If you have any cargo to deal with, then do know about various tactics that can help you in charging your client the amount they owe for. The system should be robust with additional features so that once onboard client doesn't go off and will choose to stay with you for a long term. The freight services are the best in taking the same forward and looks in a direction that can take you to another high in the same field.
If you are offering the shipping calculator[2] services at your premises, then do know that there should be no loopholes for the visitors taking the resort of your services. The freight services are very much useful for the shipping industry and being an online platform in the market; the offer should be the best in every way so that potential clients will not wish to leave you after landing on the platform. So, do look for making a system for the people to access from any geography and serve them at best.
Do look for making a smooth interaction with the clients and do look to offer the services in various languages so that people can have the access from any part of the world.

I caught the first of U2's seven shows at Madison Square Garden a couple Friday evenings back. When held up against the true U2 faithful, I'm a Gentile at best, but there are some rock concerts I'll attend because they're more than just concerts, they're Events. It was the day they were announcing the Nobel Peace Prize, so we almost saw a concert by a Nobel Peace Prize winner. That would have been a "Dear Diary" moment.
Keane opened for U2. I just can't get past the fact that Keane doesn't have a single guitarist; the fourth band member is a Mac laptop. I suspect their music won't age well, only because they do one type of heartfelt ballad well, and there's only so much of that you can do. The lead singer seems much too nice to be a rock star.
I've seen some interesting bands open for U2 over the years. The first concert I remember attending was a U2 Zoo TV concert in Illinois at the World Theatre(?). The two openers were Big Audio Dynamite and Public Enemy. You won't find a more docile and listless Public Enemy audience than the one that night, all sitting on their lawn blankets twiddling their thumbs trying to read Flavor Flav's chest clock to estimate how much longer before U2 came on stage.
The most common criticism of U2 concerts nowadays is that they're all the same, a tour of the greatest hits. I'm a fan of the revolutionary and the spontaneous in musical concerts, but I forgive U2 their retrospective ways. For goodness sake, they've been selling out massive arenas since I was in grade school. It's a miracle they've maintained their looks, let alone their fame and relevance. The audience at Madison Square Garden skewed older than for, say, the Franz Ferdinand concert I saw a week and a half later, but the standard deviation on the age of the U2 audience was also much higher. They are true cross-generational icons.
This was my fourth U2 concert through the years, and they've never put on anything other than a grand spectacle. Their canon is so well-known that the audience can sing nearly every word; it felt as if I was at a non-demoninational gospel service, with the arena lit by the electric glow of thousands of cell phone LCD screens instead of candles.
Extrapolate into the future and the logical endpoint will be a U2 farewell concert tour in 2020 or so, one in which Bono and the boys come out in arenas around the world, and Bono just holds a microphone up while the audience sings every song themselves. Each concert would include a moment in which Bono would pull a woman out of her wheelchair and command her to walk, or touch a blind man on the eyes and order him to see, and she would, and he would, for the first time in their lives.
Footnote: If you don't think U2 has relevance to the youth of America, that may change with the release of the dvd Mother Goose Rocks! Top 20 Video Countdown, in which Bono, excuse me, Mono, offers a rendition of children's classic "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes." No joke--check it out for yourself. I look forward to many viewings with my nephews this holiday season, and we will chuckle again and again to Dubya's inability to distinguish his shoulders from his neck.

The cost of car insurance nowadays is not something we could take for granted. Nobody wants to spend too much money because of the economic crisis going on and all. The companies have different reasons why they heighten and lower the premiums that their customers pay, and everyone must be vigilant in understanding why and how rates go up and down to avoid high amounts of premiums. With all the recession going on, surely everybody wants to save some cash.
The credit score is a very good example. Insurance providers hardly tell their policyholders that this is a basis for computing the premium you pay. Of course doing your own homework pays off. To get things straight, a good credit score is equal to a lower premium you have to pay.
What is the reason behind this matter? How come credit score bears something on our car insurance premium? This article will assess the scenario. Why do you get good credit score? Basically, that is because you are responsible enough to pay your bills on time without irresponsible delays and all. This means to the companies that you are able to manage your finances well because you can budget the amount you have to pay on time with the money you earn and the money you need for everyday living. Now this analogy applies to car insurance providers as well. When you have good credit score, they think that you are as responsible as paying your bills when you are on the road.
Now that we have understood the basics, the next question might be related to how you can improve your score and score a lower premium. As your payment history plays the role of the protagonist in computing the credit score you have, it is recommended to be on the watch for upcoming due dates of the bills you have to pay. Even a single delayed payment can mean a lot on your credit score. After holidays or such, expect bills flooding at your doorstep. Be vigilant enough to pay them all before their dues or else your score will suffer.
There are still other factors you can look into so you could lower your car insurance premium. However, this simple tip I have shared will suffice to slash the price of your policy. Though this may seem too little to matter, it will always help in your premium. It pays to be on time especially in paying your bills because this goes to a permanent record you can't change. Also, with the tight relationship of credit score and premium, one should think twice before making a late payment.
Try your best to acquire as much discount as you can get so you will have a rise on your savings. Every penny counts in this time of economic crisis. Don't let your hard-earned money go away. Spend it wisely.

Heart happy homemade raw bars
Marni Sumbal
HERE is the link to the taped segment.
HERE is the link to the LIVE segment.
This was a creation I made for the segment and approved by everyone who has tried it. I hope you enjoy it! Karel has been yumming a lot as he is snacking on it all day at work :) Looks like I need to make another batch!
1 cup instant rolled oats (dry)
1 cup medium pitted prunes
1/2 cup dried apricots
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tbsp unsweetened coconut (shredded - which is included in nutrition analysis) or ground flax seeds or chia seeds
1/4 cup each - cashews, peanuts, pecans, walnuts (unsalted) - recommend to buy in bulk (ex. Winn Dixie, Trader Joes, Publix or Whole foods)
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (unsalted)
1/4 cup honey (use a little cooking spray in measuring cup to help honey easily pour from cup into bowl)
1. In food processor (ex. I used the Ninja processor) combine oats, prunes, apricots and spices (including coconut). Pulse 5 times, for 1 second each pulse. This should make a sticky paste. Empty into large cooking bowl.
2. Combine 1/4 cup of each nut (not pumpkin seeds or honey) in food processor and pulse 4-6 times for 1 second each, until nuts are chopped but not finely chopped. Empty into large cooking bowl with sticky paste.
3. Add pumpkin seeds and honey to bowl and mix with clean hands until evenly combined.
4. Press on small cookie tray sprayed with a little non stick spray (it's ok if the bar doesn't cover the entire cooking tray. Bars should be thick enough to reach the top of 3 of the edges. Press down with palm of hand (use a little cooking spray on hands to help prevent sticking).
5. Place cookie tray in freezer for 1 hour. Keep in refrigerator in air-tight container or baggie for up to 1 week (if they last that long). Bars may not stick together if left at room temperature but they will still taste great!

This past Saturday, we held our third annual Water Ride. We are thrilled to hold this event every year and we thank everyone who participated to make the event a success!
A very special THANK YOU to our signature sponsor, Des Moines Water Works. They have been a trusted partner for all three years and for that we are truly grateful!
It is because of partnerships like this that allow us to send 100% of the proceeds from this event, and all previous rides, directly to our ongoing efforts in Ghana. The Water Ride began as a ride to raise funds and awareness for the clean water crisis impacting the villages we have partnered with in Ghana.
These villages, Tsipasi and Korpehem, had never had access to clean water prior to 2014 when we were fortunate enough to install three wells in total. As this event continues to grow, so do the opportunities to make a profound impact in the lives the the villagers we serve.
As we've mentioned before, we have begun constructing The Move Project Academy to educate nearly 200 children in Tsipasi and surrounding villages. Now that they have access to clean water the next need was education. Through events like The Water Ride, we have begun to transform the future of these villagers.
This year's event saw over 35 riders raise more than $1,180! To date, The Water Ride alone has raised over $22,500! What an impact! Check out our Instagram page (@The_Move_Project) to see photos from the event. We look forward to seeing you on an upcoming ride!

"The hammam is of the best of the good things in the world," proclaims Abu Sir in one of the tales in "A Thousand and One Nights."
In Syria, the sentiment holds true today; hammams (the Middle East equivalent of a steam bath) in Damascus and around the country are still frequented.
For some, the purpose of a visit to the hammam is primarily for cleanliness. But for most visitors – religious or otherwise – it is simply a pleasure.
In Hammam al-Bakri or Hammam Nour al-Deen in Damascus or Aleppo's Hammam Yalbougha al-Nasri, bathers walk in wooden clogs from the domed, highly decorated rest room – lined with pegs and colorful carpeted benches – to the al-Wastani rooms, tepidly heated and used for an often painful scrub and massage.
A steam room, al-Jawwani, and a smaller room once reserved for shaving, adjoin. Back in the rest room, bathers drink tea and prepare to dress for the world outside.
Originating with the Romans and Greeks, the hammam in the Arab world is linked closely with Islam; cleanliness is a command of the Koran. Initially open to men only, the importance of the cleansing ritual meant women were soon admitted – during separate hours – and the weekly visits became important social occasions outside the house.
Despite modernization, traditional customs persist. Women's hours fall during the workweek, despite the fact that more women have joined the labor force.
Rites of passage – such as a birth or the day before a wedding – are still celebrated in the hammam.
And then there are the normal visits to catch up on the latest gossip. Men debate current events over narghile (water pipe) and tea; women picnic with their children as they lounge in towels.
"In here, there is nothing between any person and another," says Um Moussa. "Rich, poor, Muslim, Christian, Syrian, foreigner.... We undress, we bathe, we talk, and we laugh."

The premise is this: FedEx and similar carriers base their business on two basic needs:
- Authenticated documents containing "wet signatures"
- Movement of objects from place to place
We agree with this premise, but Quiet Babylon continues to suggest that the authentication need will likely be filled by technological solutions as has been done in other areas online. Then they'd only have the "molecule moving" business to depend on.
Quiet Babylon suggests that as 3D Printers enter homes even the molecule moving business will suffer, as consumers will simply buy designs from the cloud and print them on their home device.
Our take? Ultimately, that may happen, but it's truly a long way off. At the moment it's just too hard and expensive for most consumers to use either a home printer or even an online printing service. At some point, however, the services, software, hardware and design repositories will be sufficiently simple and inexpensive that a larger portion of consumers will attempt using them. At first it's likely to be for unique, low-quality commodity items, such as replacement parts for already-owned items. As capabilities improve, we'll see more items being printed by consumers - but that really isn't going to happen for quite a few years yet.

We know that money is burning a hole through your pocket so we wanted to give you BETTER options of where you can spend it! Instead of dropping $60 at Victoria's Secret (one of the companies that uses prison labor) drop that $$ on a fellow brown girls business.
Below are some of the favorites from the ladies of TGM:
TGM Member: Misch
Why I love it: She has some amazing Egyptian/Afro centric inspired statement pieces. I am forever getting compliments when I wear any of her jewelry.
TGM Member: Chardae
instagram: TheVintageVogue
Why I love it: "The Vintage Vogue is owned by Charlotte. She is a black woman creative that started out in the architecture field and longed to get back to making things. I admire her story because I can relate to being stuck behind a desk doing the necessary technical aspects of the design industry and longing to get back to the hands on, story telling side of design. I love that her work is beautifully simplistic and that she has made herself visible in an industry so inundated with makers, that it can often times be suffocating for women of color to gain recognition. Charlottes work is gorgeous and I look forward to watching her brand continue to grow."
Why I love it: Zetland855 is owned by me! This company began out of a love for collecting textiles while traveling and a desire to see fabrics more reflective of my heritage within the interior space. Zetland855 merges classic prints and patterns with menswear inspired fabrics to create timeless pieces that help tell a unique story within the home. I have expanded my collection beyond the home, and also create wearable accessories.
TGM Member: Frankie
Why I love her: Def want to give a shout out to Deniss Mejia, my brow lady who works so hard and has built herself an empire and a loyal list of clients through her dedication and by always being so passionate about keeping our eyebrows looking spectacular. (I'm also biased as hell because she's been doing my brows For 3 years lol).
Why I love it: A small apothecary type spot that sells herbs, roots, balms, essential oils, super yummy smelling bath salts and fun things like dried roses for the bath!
TGM Member: Dee
Why I love it: What I admire from the company is the organic growth I've seen from the owner (Uchechi) since I first met her in college. Her talent continues to develop and expand over time and I'm excited to see what the future holds for her and her African –inspired apparel.
TGM Member: Yari
Why I love it: The designer left her corporate job to pursue her dreams! Her pieces are beautiful, delicate and versatile.
Why I love it: I met the founder and she was so passionate about her product, which is a vegan multi-purpose cream. She let me use some and I fell in love with it. It really does feel like butter!
Why I love it: I haven't shopped here (honest moment) - but I ADORE all their patterns and when I'm ready to get a wrap, I'll be getting it from here.
Why I love it: Need a statement piece that gets people at that networking event to talk to you before you even try to utter your name? She's got THAT on the site.
If you buy something, let us know by tagging us!
We're excited for your purchase already.

When can I drive the family car?
In many states, you may obtain a learner′s permit before getting your license. It′s a violation if you drive without either a permit or license. States differ on the exact age requirements for permits and licenses.
If you′re a student and taking a driving course, you may apply for a student license and, once you′re fifteen or sixteen, apply for a driver′s license. Your mom or dad must sign the application with you, and they′re responsible for your driving. If you′re in foster care, you may ask your guardian or foster parent to sig, but they are not required to and may not be able to assume the additional responsibility.
Under special circumstances, your state may issue a junior permit so you can drive at a younger age. This is possible in some rural areas where transportation to and from school is limited. There are also exceptions for driving farm equipment; some states don′t require you to be licensed. Check first before you operate any vehicle. When driving with a learner′s permit, you must be accompanied by a responsible licensed driver. Take a look at www.teendriving.aaa.com for state specific information about driving.
If you hit someone or damage someone′s property while driving, you and your parents are responsible for the hospital and repair bills. It′s illegal and extremely dangerous to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. You must be twenty-one to drink in the first place, so you′re committing two violations if you′re under twenty-one and drinking and driving. If you′ve been drinking or using drugs, make arrangements to ride with a sober designated driver.
Once you′re issued a driver′s license, you automatically agree to take a test given by a police officer if you′re suspected of drinking and driving. This blood-alcohol test measures the amount of alcohol in your body, and it may be used as evidence in court. If the amount is over the legal limit, you′re considered either under the influence of alcohol or intoxicated. You may be required to attend counseling or an alcohol education program.
Some states offer a Youthful Drunk Driver Visitation Program, in which you visit an alcohol recovery center or a hospital emergency room to witness persons injured in drunk-driving accidents, or the county morgue to view victims of drunk drivers. You may also be placed on probation or have your license suspended for a period of time.
It's easy to be distracted when driving. The CD player, radio, cellphone and pedestrians are just a few of the things that take your eyes off the road. Texting while driving is a major distraction that's slowly being outlawed around the country. Several cities and states have made it illegal to drive while texting [DWT] with fines running from $20 to over $400 for a first offense. Wait until you've parked before reading or sending a message.
On October 15, 2007 the U.S. Congress designated the third week of October as National Teen Driver Safety Week. The purpose is to emphasize parental monitoring of teen driving, continued consideration of graduated drivers-license laws, and education regarding distractions while driving, road rage and fatigue.
Did you know:
The minimum driving age in New Jersey is 17, while it's 14 and 3 months in South Dakota. In Europe, Great Britain has the lowest at 17 while in the rest of the European Union you must be 18.

Recent statistics show that more than 900,000 tons of food scraps and green waste has been diverted from landfills since San Francisco's composting program started in 1996. Since 2009, the city made it mandatory for residents and businesses to compost food scraps, yard trimmings and soiled paper. Residents and businesses are provided with green compost carts to dispose of food scraps, yard clippings and soiled paper items like greasy pizza boxes and used paper plates.
Recology, the company that handles San Francisco´s waste and recycling streams, states that the composting program has created a total carbon dioxide emissions benefit of 354,000 metric tons, or an amount equal to offsetting emissions from all vehicles crossing the city´s famous Bay Bridge for 777 days, according to Recology. The program offsets greenhouse gas emissions "by reducing the amount of methane produced in landfills and sequestering carbon in top soil," the company said.
According to Recology CEO Mike Sangiacomo:
These new numbers further illustrate what residents and businesses who actively participate in the compost collection program intuitively understand, namely that placing food scraps and plants in green bins so that these materials are composted instead of going to a landfill is a highly effective way to help protect the environment.
CAW has continuously supported composting and supports AB 34 (Williams) which encourages the development of compost facilities to recycle organic materials.

Brouillard, who was ordained as a priest on Guam in 1948, left the island in 1981.
Although church leadership on Guam was aware of Brouillard's sexual abuse of boys on Guam, Brouillard left island and was allowed to serve as a priest in at least three parishes in Minnesota.
It was only in 1995 that Brouillard was removed from ministry, following credible allegations of child sexual abusethere.
The world's largest and oldest network of clergy abuse survivors, called the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, said Brouillard's case is not unique.
"He was given what advocates like to call 'the geographic solution.' Brouillard was sent as far away as possible so that victims could not find him. He was still paid so that he would keep quiet," said Joelle Casteix, SNAP's volunteer Western regional director.
"Abusive priests are dumped in unsuspecting communities so that the priest and his home diocese can escape legal accountability. The fact that Brouillard somewhat admitted his crimes is remarkable. Hopefully, that gave his brave victims some sense of vindication," Casteix said.
Guam PDN
"Guam's Catholic church leadership has known for decades about clergy sex abuses that happened as early as the 1950s"

Monthly Favourites – April 2016
I feel like I had a lot of products I wanted to talk about this month but I didn't want to spoil some of the longer feature posts I'm planning, so here is the curated shortlist of the things I really loved in April. Stay tuned from some more thorough reviews of new products coming up in the next few weeks.
NUDESTIX Intense Matte Lip + Cheek Pencil in Purity ($28): I first tried these in March but love the formula so much that I had to pick up another shade in April. If you're into that matte, dark-nude trend then you have to check out Purity. This neutral, deep dusty rose shade is super a great intro into that 90s nude/brown lip trend. The formula is very smooth, applies evenly and doesn't crack off your lips (full review of the matte pencils here). Handbag staple in April and beyond for sure.
Clarins Eye Contour Gel ($38): I feel like I'm always on the hunt for the perfect eye cream. I have very dark circles, my under eye area is usually on the dry side and my eyes look quite puffy in the morning – the trifecta of issues. This Clarins gel feels very light on the skin but actually provides a good amount of hydration. It think it's a bit too early to tell if it's really making a difference on my dark circles but it has helped with puffiness, and my eye area looks less creased. It's also quite an affordable eye gel, which is just a bonus!
Essie Nail Polish in Take It Outside ($11): Like clockwork, spring comes around and the mauve-taupe-grey nail polish shades come out of retirement. For most of April I gravitated straight to Take It Outside for make weekly nail fix. A light taupe, this is a great neutral shade that compliments a lot of different looks.
Topshop MOTO Ripped Hayden Cuffed Jeans ($90): I rarely include a fashion favourite in these monthly posts but I have to say that these jeans are soooo comfortable - I want to wear them everyday. I'm a total jean junkie and I think that Topshop makes some of the best jeans in the sub-$100 price point. They're a thicker material, which I like for a ripped jean, but quite loose on the leg and tapered at the bottom. Very flattering with a lot of different shoe style – I've been wearing them with my sneakers and booties quite a bit.
What were you loving in April?

When I visit a cooking site or blog, I always want to know who's in the kitchen. Don't you?
For those who may have been wondering who's the cook in this Cook's Corner, I have begun to put together a bio, a detailed "About Me" page, as it were.
But I ran into a snag, right at the beginning of Chapter One.

So it's been a while since my last post, life seems to have been flying by at warp speed with seemingly not enough hours in the day, my concentration pulled in so many directions sometimes it feels my head may implode. Even time on the bike has taken a bit of a knock, but only being relegated as paving the way for a better future has taken priority. So hopefully all for the greater good.
So what's been happening? Well for a start the 'Uber Workshop" end of Project Club House is finally taking shape. This has been a very satisfying little side project, which does also hint at the flavour of the other changes that are afoot. Towards the end of last year and beginning of this it had become clear that some big changes needed to be made career wise if I wanted to hold onto any shred of sanity and happiness. Work takes up such a large percentage of our time on this planet that I believe you should be happy in what you do and quite frankly that has not been the case. Change was overdue. So the wheels are in motion, and hopefully rolling towards a future and lifestyle more aligned with a happy heart. Somewhere back in the mists of time I forgot what was important: Have passion and happiness in your work, the money will (hopefully) take care of itself.
Only time will tell how this will play out, so whether I end up in a happier situation or find myself staring into the bottom of a can of Special Brew outside the job centre at least I will know I got off my arse and tried to make life a little less ordinary. I'll keep you posted.
To infinity and beyond…

Class aP amplification
The letters aP in Class aP stand for analog Pulse; which characterize operation of this type of amplification. The goals, and proposed merit/value of Class aP will follow as I explain its operation, and undoubtedly from your input.
The generator of analog pulses is the Precision Rectifier [PR] shown in the schematic of the attached image. Here is how it works:
1. The operational amplifier [OA; actual is 1/2 LF353N] inverts sinusoidal input signal Vi.
2. OA has two independent and identical feedback branches emanating from its output and terminating at its inverting input.
3. Each feedback branch has a rectifying diode [actual 1N914].
4. By example of operation, allow the voltage of the shaded part of input signal Vi to increase. It follows that OA creates an inverted version at its output.
5. This step reverse-biases diode D+ of the upper feedback branch, and thus prevents input current [from the sine-wave generator] to flow through it.
6. The instantaneous voltage of the shaded input signal, and the value of input resistor R determine the value of input current moving from the sine-wave generator in the direction of the inverting input of OA.
7. This instantaneous input current [substantial in value] cannot flow in the inverting input of OA because this physical input has a high input resistance. It also cannot flow in the upper feedback branch because D+ was immediately shut off as mentioned in step 5.
8. However, this input current readily flows in the lower feedback branch because OA facilitates it by forward biasing diode D-; by using its important purpose to force zero Vdc or a virtual ground at the inverting input so as to match the actual value of zero Vdc ground of the non-inverting input.
9. Virtual ground is the electrical center point of the shaded parts of the input signal and the shaded output pulse. Both must be out of phase, and have equal;but opposite values for their voltage. This is an informal mechanism used to generate a negative pulse at output B.
10. A similar informal mechanism can be used to generate a positive pulse at output A.
11. This Precision Rectifier cuts the sinusoidal input signal [Vi] into two electrically independent mono polar pulses. Each pulse from this point forward will be processed separately. But both pulses must be processed simultaneously and identically in real time so as to recreate later on the original analog sinusoidal signal as faithfully as possible.
12. The analog pulses at the output A and B begin and end as close to zero Vdc as allowed by OA. This precise dual half wave rectification means that it is repeatable; but one needs to mind its accuracy which has to do with the faithful replication of each pulse regarding its parent portion [shaded and not] in the parent sinusoidal input signal Vi.
The next post will show a concept Class aP amplifier.
Best regards.

I think this is Sandman class S - a circuit that splits the signal in a pos and neg portion for two output halves.
It was done with current steering; your circuit does it with voltage steering. Nice case of thinking out of the box!
You should build it, see how well it works.
Your example is with a sine wave but generally the signal is not a single sine so it is better to speak about signal splitting than 'pulse' amplification.
Edit: not Sandman class S - I will look it up.

Concept Class aP amplifier
A simplified schematic of a Class aP amplifier is attached for discussion. It is in two functional parts. The precision rectifier of Post #1, and a complementary bjt power output stage demonstrator. As written, this output stage gives a trans conductance or current source power amp. Each bjt is given a mild forward bias [variable battery at base]. Here is how this amp works.
1. As the sinusoidal input voltage provided to precision rectifier goes positive [shaded], a negative rectified or pulse signal emerges at its output port B, and is presented to PNP transistor.
2. PNP amplifies shaded pulse and shows it at its collector.
3. During the time interval [0 to t1 seconds] of the start to the end of shaded negative pulse, NPN sat idle unaware of the operation of PNP. NPN did not cut off or crossover; because it was not allowed to do so.
4. At the end of time t1 of sine-wave signal, PNP returns to idle state, until a future negative going pulse comes its way for processing
5. At time t1, a positive pulse emerges at the output port A of precision rectifier.
6. It is solely presented to NPN which amplifies it during the allocated time interval of t1-t2.
7. The electrical joint at the power output [opposed collectors] splices both halves [or pulses] so as to regenerate an amplified replica of the sinusoidal input signal Vi.
8. The important result is that the bjts operated independently, equally, and were not allowed to "crossover" into each other's electrical regions of operation.
9. The business of "crossover" in Class AB power amplifiers was denied to its complementary devices; because it has already been accomplished/managed [with high precision] in the preceding line-level Precision Rectifier.
10. Point 9 above gave a clear purpose for the precision rectifier, and a clear performance objective for the power output stage.
11. Thus, each bjt is always on and operates exclusively in pulse mode A mode ; because it was denied cut off on purpose by this approach of amplification.

In fact it is about as pure class B as you can get; exactly 180 degrees duty cycle. Now the marketing dept. may have another idea about that, I understand that

Heh in any marketing department I know of this would be called class A ... Why because neither transistor switches off so they're both on 360 degrees of the sinusoidal input

Loren's been working a lot lately so in an effort to try and see him more Allie and I have taken him dinner to the pit a couple times. Allie LOVES doing anything with daddy especially when it comes to working with tools and getting dirty.
I took Allie to the pit for the first time a couple weeks ago to bring Loren a quick dinner. While we were there Loren took us for a ride around the pit in the semi. It's really cool to see what he does for a living now. Allie was able to drive the truck and her face was priceless when she figured out where the air horn was.
Allie is definitely her fathers daughter...she thought the semi was the coolest thing.
She got down and dirty and "helped" Loren fix a couple things also...
This business is a family business, but it REALLY feels that way when we get to go and be with him. He works really hard and puts a lot of hours into it. I just want to show him that we know how hard he is working. Not only to keep his new company going, but also to take care of us. I'm lucky to have such an amazing husband and my kids are lucky to have such a loving dad.

Tip Of The Month
For those of you with a keen eye and a good memory, you will remember that I covered how to utilise any old bait you may have laying around before.
Last time we simply took the hook baits and stuck them in a blender creating a highly effective multi-coloured mix that drifts seamlessly through the water column creating clouds of attraction. This time, however, we want to get a little more body to the mix so that it can be utilised on the bottom just as effectively as it is throughout the upper layers.
Starting with the old hook baits, these can be wafters, pop-ups or even hard hookers. Throw them in a blender and blend them nice and fine. Second, look around for any other spare bait that may be going out of date. This could be pellets, groundbait or even half-used particles. These also go in the food blender but just blend it once or twice; bigger items are essential and will work for you in this mix.
Lastly, we are going to look around for liquids, hemp oil and fish oils; anything with an oil base really. Fear not if you don't have any; sunflower oil will suffice and this can generally be found in the back of anyone's kitchen cupboard. Pour a generous glug of your chosen liquid in.
To finish, we place the mix in a zip-lock-style bag or container, remove the air as best we can and freeze. This will make a great instant stick mix that you can keep for a fair while out of the freezer as long as you keep it in a dark, cool place, and even longer when frozen.
It's key to mention that we don't advise using out-of-date bait because this can actually be to the detriment of the carp. If it's mouldy or you aren't too sure, throw it away.

Nouriel Roubini says that global growth will pick up modestly in 2014, while the risk of a major shock will diminish. - Project Syndicate
The global economy will grow faster in 2014 than it did in 2013, while tail risks will be lower. But, with the possible exception of the US, growth will remain anemic in advanced economies, and emerging-market fragility – including China's uncertain efforts at economic rebalancing – could become a drag on global growth.Read more at www.project-syndicate.org

Adelita Husni-Bey
April 9th – May 28th, 2017
Opening Sunday April 9th, 6-9pm
MILLER is pleased to present Adelita Husni-Bey's first solo presentation in New York, with a two-channel video installation, 2265.
*Tell me about your hands
*Tell me about what happens when you are hungry
*How long ago has the Perpetual War ended? Has it ended?
*Teach me how to say I love you with this technology?
*How does this society 'know'?
*Where do they keep the things they 'know'?
These are some of the questions that structured a workshop produced in collaboration with Authoring Action, a group of teen authors headed by writer Nathan Ross Freeman and held at the South Eastern Center for Contemporary Art in January 2015. The workshop explored capitalist colonialist futures and the prospect of populating Mars through writing exercises and experimental pedagogical practice. The resulting 2 channel installation displays both the performance crafted by members of Authoring Action in collaboration with the artist and parts of the workshop, both held in an empty theater. A surreal to and fro across deserts and poisonus landscapes, the promise of digital sociality through genetic modification and a 'perpetual war' structure the performance, while the workshop screen centers on the ways we understand words such as development vs. imperialism, or uninhabited vs. empty and the socio-historical lineage of these concepts from the 'outset' to the year 2265.
Adelita Husni-Bey (Italy-1985) lives in New York. She stages workshops and produces publications, radio broadcasts, archives and exhibitions focused on using collectivist and non-competitive pedagogical models within the framework of urban studies. In her 10 years practicing as both an artist and a pedagogue Adelita has worked with activists, architects, jurists, schoolchildren, spoken word poets, students and teachers on unpacking the complexity of collectivity. To make good what can never be made good: what we owe each other. Recent solo exhibitions include: A Wave in the Well, Sursock Museum, Beirut, 2016, Movement Break, Kadist foundation, 2015, Playing Truant, Gasworks, 2012. She has participated in The Eighth Climate, 11th Gwangju Biennale, 2016, Ennesima, Triennale di Milano, 2015, Undiscovered Worlds, the High Line, 2015, Really Useful Knowledge, Reina Sofia museum, 2014, Utopia for Sale?, MAXXI museum, 2014 and has held workshops and lectures at ESAD Grenoble, 2016, The New School, 2015, Sandberg Institute, 2015, Museo del 900, 2013, Temple University, 2013, Birkbeck University, 2011 amongst other spaces. She is a 2012 Whitney Independent Study Program fellow and will be representing Italy at the 2017 Venice Biennale.

Photographer unknown
I have one blue cotton shirt with white stripes, one white cotton shirt with an attached scarf, one white silk shirt, one navy silk shirt, one plaid shirt I nicked from my younger sister.
I love all of them except maybe the plaid shirt (the buttons gape at odd places), but I've been wanting an honest-to-goodness casual shirt - not something in the smooth cotton you see in work shirts, not something in silk, but something in washed cotton that I could toss into a suitcase. And I don't want the shapeless super-thin cotton things that feel like little more than beach cover-ups. I want something that's still reasonably tailored.
For the longest time, I agonised over whether I wanted a chambray shirt - I love chambray, but I wear jeans a lot and chambray isn't such a good look with jeans. Not for me anyway.
So here's a new item for the 2011 shopping list: a casual shirt.
I envision the shirt being blue, but plain blue would be a bit boring - it does nothing my for my wardrobe. Perhaps preppy stripes, or a small plaid/check pattern would be nice.
I quite like the look of Steven Alan shirts - good reviews, and the prices seem reasonable. But I'm reluctant to ship from so far at that kind of shipping rates - costly to my pocket if it doesn't fit.
My best bet is Massimo Dutti - I have bought two shirts there and their sizing works wells for me, and their shirts are very well-made at their prices: french seams on the sides, very nicely attached collars and cuffs, well-finished buttonholes, buttons that don't look cheap. Some day I may do a Sofia Coppola and have my shirts made at Charvet, but until I start earning oodles, I'll hold that thought.
I've been resisting lunchtime shopping, but tomorrow is Friday, and a jaunt to the shops during lunch on a weekday always gives me that pleasant, slacking off feeling which is the perfect way to end off the work week.
My 2011 list, updated:
- A watch
- A small-ish day bag also that works for night
- Perfect black cigarette pants
- Casual shirt

Infant Reflux on the Rise?
Brian O'Neil
by Richard Pass, RN
Director, Save A Little Life, Inc.
Richard Pass, RN, BS, founded "Save a Little Life" in 1999. He has been a Registered Nurse & Health Educator for over 30 years. He is on staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and is currently a part-time clinical instructor of nursing at California State University, Northridge. The goal for Save a Little Life is to provide a simpler, more "user friendly" CPR course. Savealittlelife.com
When doing my pediatric CPR and family emergency workshop I often hear parents concern over episodes where the infant seems to stop breathing, causing tremendous fear for that family. In some instances a 9-1-1 call is made, particularly when the baby "turns blue" (a cardinal sign of low oxygen). These episodes are frequently associated with feeding which increases the perception that a choking event is underway.
Because of these very real fears many parents visit their pediatrician's office and want answers. According to a recently published article in the Journal Pediatrics, there has been an alarming increase in the diagnosis of "infant reflux." Among other things, this has been the cause of a huge increase in treatment, principally with the prescribing of acid suppressing medications (Pepcid, Zantac, etc.) for these infants.
What Is Reflux?
Taber's medical dictionary defines reflux as "a return or backward flow." Consequently, the terms (reflux and regurgitation) are often used interchangeably. Various studies reveal that a major percentage of the infant population in the U.S. (40-70%) has some form of reflux event. In many cases these events are noted when a baby "spits up" during feeding. There are, however, numerous occasions when I have heard parents tell me that some form of regurgitation can happen during non feeding times.
The rapidly growing infant usually ingests volumes of food (breast milk/formula, etc.) that on a per kilogram basis are much greater than larger children or adults. Because of this relative high volume and a relatively shorter esophagus (stomach tube) a "spillover effect" can occur. Many pediatricians believe this to be "physiologic reflux" as opposed to "reflux disease."
Episodes of this spillover can occur infrequently or multiple times a day. This puts many parents and care providers on constant alert, often causing significant anxiety, including fear of feeding the infant. Several medical studies suggest that the situation is self-resolving in approximately 95% of infants by 12-15 months of age.
Reflux and the Incidence of Apnea
Without question, the issue of effective breathing during these episodes is of primary concern to the parents I speak with. So, what is the relationship here? In depth studies looking at the relationship of regurgitation and apnea (cessation of breathing) consider the physiologic factors. Basically, "apnea is linked to a reflex in the larynx (near or around the air passages) cause respiratory pauses, airway closure, and swallowing immediately after regurgitation to the upper airway." The consequences of these episodes are usually minimal to non-existent. Yet, as mentioned earlier, some infants have prolonged apnea, turn blue and on some occasions begin to lose consciousness. These are clearly the most unusual but cause the most panic in the parent or care provider.
Getting the Right Diagnosis
It is far too simple to assume that if an infant has episodes of reflux/regurgitation, that they in fact have GERD. There are specific diagnostic markers that your physician will look for before making this diagnosis. In the meantime, there has been a skyrocketing in the use of the aforementioned medications to treat the symptoms of reflux. One belief is that parents are so affected by the promotion of medications (usually seen on T.V. for the adult population) for this disorder that they demand a prescription and, in fact, often feel that the baby is under-treated if they leave the office without one. It turns out that the F.D.A. has not approved the use of these medications, specifically for the infant population.
In the meantime, what can parents do to assure that their baby is safe? The most common recommendations tend to include:
• Propping the infant at a somewhat higher angle while feeding
• Increase the time between feeding and going down for nap/sleep
• Place some risers at the head of the infant's crib (several inches at least)
• Keep a "spitting up" or reflux log that you can refer to when speaking with your pediatrician
In those very rare instances when breathing stops and the infant turns bluish in color (either face, lips, etc.) you should be prepared to stimulate the infant by using a modified "airway obstruction" position, and use some patting to their back when they are turned in a head down position. This stimulation is most likely what will get a response, even though this is not a true airway obstruction event.
Finally, be prepared for the most unusual of events —where a baby has prolonged loss of breathing. This may require the initiation of CPR in rare cases. Haven't taken a pediatric CPR course recently? Call Save a Little Life and sign up for one today.

New Red Card magazine in print now
One of campaign's most "important and engaging" publications out soon
Show Racism the Red Card's brand new magazine is now rolling off the printers and will be available for purchase online soon.
The new Red Card magazine features interviews with Newcastle United's Yohan Cabaye, Cardiff City forward Frazier Campbell and England's Rachel Yankey.
It also includes articles on immigration, anti-Muslim hatred, Gypsy and Travellers, sectarianism, and homophobia.
Editor of the magazine, Liam Thompson, said: "Our magazine is one of our most important and engaging resources.
"The aim with this year's magazine was to make it more accessible, appealing to the broadest range of young readers possible. We've definitely achieved that and I think young people can take a lot away from it."

What The Hell Does Daenerys Do Now? And 9 More Game Of Thrones Questions
In its seventh season, Game of Thrones is burning through plot faster than Cersei Lannister can burn through an entire carafe of wine.
With only 10 episodes of the HBO drama remaining (yep, you read that correctly), it makes sense that showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff would start wrapping things up at an alarmingly quick pace. After all, there's still an entire war for the future of humanity to come. But it also means that every scene now holds a piece of the endgame puzzle.
Game of Thrones has cut the fat, and no episode is a better example of that than the most recent hour, "The Queen's Justice." There was so much happening that Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen's long-anticipated meeting didn't even feel that momentous—and not one but two important battles took place offscreen. That being said, as the show barrels toward its final season, there's still a lot of questions to be answered.
1. Why Didn't Jon Want Daenerys To Know He Had Been Resurrected?
The King in the North gave a pointed look to our boy Davos during their uneasy meeting with Daenerys Targaryen in Dragonstone. It appeared as though he didn't want Dany to know that he had been resurrected by Melisandre after taking a knife to the heart, among other important organs, at Castle Black. But why? Simply put, Jon Snow is probably still embarrassed by the whole ordeal. It makes him uncomfortable to go around telling people he DIED and came back to life. Not to mention, Jon hasn't yet dealt with all of the emotional trauma that arguably comes with dying. It also calls into question his abilities as a leader. Remember, he was killed by his own brothers of the Night's Watch. Why should Dany trust him if she has reason to question his loyalty?
2. Does Daenerys, Mother Of Dragons, Really Think An Army Of The Dead Sounds That Far-fetched?
Listen, I know that dragons are part of the Targaryen iconography and that Dany had probably heard stories about her family's once-great dynasty from her older brother Viserys in the Free Cities. But I find it hard to believe that a woman who gave birth to three dragons—creatures that hadn't been seen in Westeros for more than 1,000 years—and is also known as The Unburnt because fire literally cannot kill her would scoff at the idea of an army of the undead. Daenerys should know more than anyone that Westerosi folklore isn't something to ignore.
3. Will The Iron Throne And The Monarchy Itself Eventually Be Destroyed?
Since this season began, no less that five characters have mentioned how the sins of the father should not reflect on his children. That's a heck of a lot of foreshadowing. In the Season 7 premiere, Jon says that Alys Karstark and Ned Umber, the children of Houses Karstark and Umber, should not be held accountable for their fathers and brothers' mistakes. In "The Queen's Justice," Daenerys asks that Jon not judge her for her father, the Mad King, and his cruelties. In response, Jon asks Dany that she not hold his responsible for an oath of loyalty that Starks made to the Targaryens a thousand years ago.
So, how do you break that vicious cycle? How do you ensure that the sins of those who came before don't foreshadow your own destiny? You tear down the institutions that created it. You get rid of the Iron Throne and the monarchy altogether. You watch it burn.
4. What's Going To Happen To Yara?
Euron Greyjoy is a psychopath, so it's really hard to predict his plan here, but knowing what we know about the ironborn, it's possible that Euron offers Yara as a gift to the Drowned God. In doing so, she'd be laid on her back on the beach at low tide, with her arms and legs chained to four stakes, awaiting the tide comes in. It's a slow death. Euron could also rip out her tongue—as he does with all of the crew—and enslave her on his ship, the Silence. Seeing as Euron is a sick f—k, he'll probably want to prolong Yara's misery for as long as he possibly can. Of course, if Daenerys really does end up roasting Euron's fleet, Yara might also be collateral damage.
5. Was That The Last We've Seen Of Ellaria Sand?
Well, she's not dead. She's just been sentenced to live out the rest of her days next to her daughter's rotting corpse in the dungeons. That being said, I'd be surprised if the show wastes anymore time on Dorne. We've got so many other story lines to wrap up! It's not like there's anyone even around to help her escape. Sleep well, Ellaria.
6. What The Hell Does Daenery's Do Now?
First, Daenerys lost her fleet to Euron Greyjoy. Then, her Unsullied army was fooled by a smart tactical move from Jaime Lannister. She's down three allies—Ellaria Sand, Yara Greyjoy, and Olenna Tyrell. (Remember how nice it was to see a group of powerful women standing over the strategy table at Dragonstone? Yeah, well, that didn't last long.) So what is Daenerys's next move? It's time for her to be a damn dragon. Daenerys needs to send Cersei Lannister a message. The easiest way to do that would be to hop on Drogon and lead an aerial attack against the Lannister army while they make their way back to King's Landing from the Reach. But will she go alone, or will she be forced to bring a few allies with her—like, say, Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister? You know what they say: "The dragon has three heads."
7. What's Up With Bran?
Bran Stark is the Three-Eyed Raven. He holds the power to unlock the secrets of the universe in his mind, which basically makes him a human computer. "It's like imagining you have all of space and time in your head," Isaac Hempstead-Wright recently told EW.com. "Bran is existing in thousands of planes of existence at any one time. So it's quite difficult for Bran to have any kind of semblance of personality anymore." Bran Stark is literally the most powerful person on this entire show, so I'm going to need all of you haters to GTFO.
8. Which Characters Left On Arya's List Will She Actually Get To Kill?
Before Melisandre sailed off to Volantis, she delivered an ominous message to Varys. "I will return, dear Spider. One last time. I have to die in this strange country, just like you." It's clear that the red priestess has seen her own demise in the flames, and a Season 3 run-in between Melisandre and Arya Stark might hold the answer to The Red Woman's fate. "We will meet again," she told the young Stark, before taking Gendry and thereby securing a position on Arya's kill list. Now, Melisandre's visions aren't always trustworthy (just ask Stannis), but this one seems definitive. When Melisandre and Arya do meet again, something tells me the centuries-old follower of the Lord of Light will be meeting the pointy end of some Valyrian steel.
As for the other names on Arya's kill list—Cersei, The Mountain, Beric Dondarrion, Thoros of Myr, and Ilyn Payne—their fates are as certain. Sure, they're probably all going to die, but will Arya be the one doing the deed? She's on her way back to Winterfell to be with her family. She's too far away from King's Landing to cross off Cersei, Ilyn, and The Mountain anytime soon, and Beric and Thoros are en route to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea to meet the White Walkers. With the odds stacked against them, the Night's King may get to cross a few off Arya's list for her.
9. Does Daenerys Even Need Tyrion At This Point?
Seeing how Daenerys tells him off in the promo for next week's episode ("The Spoils of War"), I'm going to say no. You had ONE JOB, Tyrion!!! "Enough with the clever plans," Dany says to someone who's most likely Tyrion. It's time to unleash the dragon. But with a few major L's on his record, how is Tyrion going to prove to Daenerys that he's the strategist she needs at her side? It's time to head to King's Landing and confront the skeletons in his closet. But good luck trying to get those Dothraki back on the boat.
10. What's Up With All Those Scrolls In Winterfell?
We're at the point in the series where every bit of dialogue means something. It's laced with foreshadowing. So when the maester tells Sansa and Littlefinger that Maester Luwin kept detailed records of every raven scroll received during his tenure, that's obviously going to impact what's to come. Might there be something Littlefinger doesn't want Sansa to see buried within those records? YES. OF COURSE. LITTLEFINGER IS A SHADY DUDE.

Balto-Slavic Accentual Mobility
Bod Third Party Titles, 2009 - 274
Why does the accent jump back and forth in Russian words like golova 'head', acc. golovu, gen. golovy, dat. golove etc.? How come we find similar alternations in other Slavic languages and in a Baltic language like Lithuanian? The quest for the origin of the so-called "mobile accent paradigms" of Baltic and Slavic leads the reader through other Indo-European language branches such as Indo-Iranian, Greek and Germanic, all of which are relevant to the reconstruction of the Proto-Indo-European accentuation system. After the examination of the evidence for the reconstruction of the Proto-Indo-European accentuation system, focus is moved to the Baltic and Slavic accentuation systems and their relationship to each other and to Proto-Indo-European. A comprehensive history of research and numerous bibliographical references to earlier pieces of scholarship throughout the book make it a useful tool for anybody who is interested in Balto-Slavic and Indo-European accentology. Written in a simple style and constantly aiming at presenting old and new opinions on the various problems, the volume may serve as an introduction to this complicated field.

Man 043 | December 4, 2009
The deadline for the Ku Bo remix contest is over, we are currently evaluating the contributions. In between, we are releasing the official "KU BO REMIX" EP today, both on vinyl and in digital format.
After three critically acclaimed single releases on Man Recordings, remixes for Adam Sky (Exploited Rec), El Guincho (Mad Decent) and Schlachthofbronx, and the licenses of the tracks "Lefe" for the "I Love Techno" compilation by Crookers, as well as "Tsu Bo" for the Fabric Live 49 Mix by Buraka Som Sistema, Ku Bo returns with a mind blowing remix EP. This is the new chapter for Ku Bo, the Afro tec project by Stereotyp from Vienna, Austria (of G-Stone / Crunchtime fame).
"Ku Bo Remix" presents eight remixes by classic and upcoming heat from Ku Bo. The release includes remixes by DJ Manaia, Batida, Daniel Haaksman, Flore, Robot Koch, Bert On Beats, Lazy Ants and Caski.
We give you the banging remix by Man Recordings boss Daniel Haaksman of "Sumanita" feat. Daniecell for free. With 145 BPM, it's the fastest tempoed remix on this EP package, but nevertheless very floor friendly – imagine Dutch gabba blended with Angolan kuduro in a Cuban dancehall

Synthesis of poly(propylene fumarate) by acylation of propylene glycol in the presence of a proton scavenger
AuthorPeter, Susan J.; Suggs, Laura J.; Engel, Paul S.; Mikos, Antonios G.
Utility patent
High molecular weight linear poly(propylene fumarate) having a relatively low polydispersity index by utilizing a relatively pure intermediate and a method for making same. Fumaryl chloride and propylene glycol are reacted in the presence of potassium carbonate. The potassium carbonate present in the reaction solution prevents the acid by-product from catalyzing reactions at the fumarate double bond. The bis(propyl fumarate) produced according to this technique can be transesterified using conventional processing steps to yield P(PF). The P(PF) produced from bis(propyl fumarate) produced according to the present method has a higher molecular weight and is purer than P(PF) produced using previously known techniques.
