PID Control are used in most automatic method control applications in trade. they'll regulate flow, temperature, pressure, level, and lots of alternative process variables. This Application Note reviews the planning of PID controllers and explains the P, I, and D management modes employed in them.
PID controllers have three control modes:
- Proportional Control
- Integral Control
- Derivative Control
Each of the 3 modes reacts otherwise to the error. the quantity of response made by every management mode is adjustable by dynamical the controller's standardization settings.
Proportional Control Mode
The proportional management mode is that the main driving force during a controller. It changes the controller output in proportion to the error (Figure 3). If the error will increase, the management action will increase proportionately. this is often terribly helpful, since a lot of management action is required to correct massive errors.
The adjustable setting for proportional management is termed the Controller Gain (Kc). a better controller gain can increase the quantity of proportional control action for a given error. If the managementler gain is about too high the control loop can begin periodic and become unstable. If the controller gain is about too low, it'll not respond adequately to disturbances or point changes.
For most controllers, adjusting the controller gain setting influences the number of response within the integral and derivative control modes. this is often why the parameter is termed controller gain. However, there's one controller style (called a parallel or freelance gains algorithm) during which adjusting the proportional gain doesn't have an effect on the opposite modes.
Integral Control Mode
The need for manual reset, as described above, LED to the event of automatic reset or the integral management mode, because it is understood nowadays. The operate of the integral management mode is to increment or decrement the controller's output over time to reduce the error, as long as there's any error gift (process variable not at set point). Given enough time, the integral action can drive the controller output till the error is zero.
If the error is massive, the integral mode can increment/ decrement the controller output at a quick rate; if the error is tiny, the changes are slow. For a given error, the speed of the integral action is about by the controller's integral time setting (Ti). an outsized worth of Ti (long integral time) ends up in a slow integral action, and alittle worth of Ti (short integral time) ends up in a quick integral action (Figure 7). If the integral time is about too long, the controller are sluggish; if it's set too short, the management loop can oscillate and become unstable.
Most controllers, as well as the MAQ 20, use integral time (Ti) in minutes because the unit of live for integral management, however some use integral time in seconds. many controllers, usually ones with the parallel algorithmic rule, use integral gain (Ki) in repeats per minute. The parallel algorithmic rule is additionally obtainable within the MAQ 20.
Proportional + Integral Controller
Commonly referred to as the PI controller, the proportional + integral controller's output is created from the total of the proportional and integral control actions (Figure 8).Compared to work 6, it's clear however integral management continues to drive the controller output till it's eliminated eliminated all offset.
Derivative Control Mode
The third control mode in a very PID controller is that the derivative control mode. derivative management is rarely utilized in controlling processes, however it's used typically in motion management. For method management, it's conditionally needed, is extremely sensitive to mensuration noise, and it makes trialand-error
calibration harder. withal, victimization the derivative management mode of a managementler will certify kinds of management loops respond a bit quicker than with PI management alone (temperature control may be a typical application for PID control).
The derivative control mode produces an output supported the speed of amendment of the error (Figure 10). due to this, derivative mode was originally referred to as rate. The derivative mode produces additional management action if the error changes at a quicker rate. If there's no change within the error, the derivative action is zero. The derivative mode has associate degree adjustable setting referred to as derivative Time (Td). The larger the derivative time setting, the additional derivative action is created. A derivative time setting of zero effectively turns off this mode. If the derivative time is about too long, oscillations can occur and also the management loop can run unstable.
Two units of measure are used for the derivative setting of a controller: minutes and seconds.
Proportional + Integral + Derivative Controller
Commonly known as the pid controller, the Proportional + Integral + Derivative
controller's output is created from the add of the proportional, integral, and derivative management actions. Figure eleven shows the non interactive pid controller formula and Figure twelve shows the parallel controller formula. These are each supported within the MAQ 20 system.
The derivative mode of the PID controller provides more control action sooner than is possible with P or PI control. This reduces the effect of a disturbance and shortens the time it takes for the level to return to its set point (Figure 13).
Cascade control can significantly improve the control quality. This applies in particular to the dynamic action of the control loop.
A simple control system drawn in block diagram form looks like this:
Information from the measuring device (e.g. transmitter) goes to the controller, then to the ultimate management device (e.g. management valve), influencing the method that is perceived once more by the instrument. The controller's task is to inject the correct quantity of feedback such the method variable stabilizes over time. This flow of data is conjointly spoken as a feedback management loop.
To cascade controllers means that to attach the signaling of 1 controller to the setpoint of another controller, with every controller sensing a distinct side of identical method. the primary controller (called the first, or master ) basically "gives orders" to the second controller (called the secondary or slave) via an overseas setpoint signal.
Thus, a cascade control system consists of two feedback control loops, one nested inside the other:
A very common example of cascade control could be a valve positioner, that receives a command signal from a daily method controller, and in turn works to confirm the valve stem position exactly matches that command signal. The management valve's stem position is that the method variable (PV) for the positioner, even as the command signal is that the positioner's setpoint (SP). Valve positioners so act as "slave" controllers to "master" method controllers controlling pressure, temperature, flow, or another method variable.
The aim of cascade control is to attain bigger stability of the first method variable by control a secondary method variable in accordance with the requirements of the primary. a vital demand of cascaded management is that the secondary method variable be faster-responding (i.e. shorter lag and dead times) than the first method variable.
an analogy for understanding cascade management is that of delegation in a very work setting. If a supervisor delegates some task to a subordinate, which subordinate performs the task while not more want of guidance or help from the supervisor, the supervisor's job is formed easier. The subordinate takes care of all the insufficient details that might otherwise burden the supervisor if the supervisor had nobody to delegate to.
This analogy additionally makes it clear why the secondary method variable should be faster-responding than the first method variable: the supervisor-subordinate management structure fails to figure if the supervisor doesn't maintain specialise in long-run goals (i.e. longer-term than the completion time of the tasks given to subordinates). If a supervisor focuses on achieving goals that are shorter-term than the time needed for subordinates to finish their assignments, the supervisor can inevitably incorporate "course changes" that are too fast for the subordinates to execute. this may cause the subordinates "lagging" behind the supervisor's orders, to the damage of everyone's satisfaction.
Important Points :
A necessary step in implementing cascade control is to confirm the secondary ("slave") controller is well-tuned before any try is created to tune the first ("master") controller. simply a moment's thought is all that's required to understand why this precedence in tuning should be: it's an easy matter of dependence. The slave controller doesn't rely on sensible standardization within the master controller so as to regulate the slave loop. If the master controller were placed in manual (effectively turning off its automatic response), the slave managementler would merely control to a relentless setpoint. However, the master controller most positively depends on the slave controller being well-tuned so as to meet the master's "expectations." If the slave controller were placed in manual mode, the master managementler wouldn't be ready to exert any control over its method variable some. Clearly then, the slave controller's response is crucial to the master controller having the ability to regulate its method variable, so the slave controller ought to be tuned initial once at first empowerment or optimizing a cascade system.
Just like superordinate management systems wherever a method controller receives a "remote" setpoint signal from another system, the secondary ("slave") controller in a very cascade system generally has 3 completely different operative modes:
- Manual mode:Controller takes no automatic action. Output value set by human operator.
- Automatic mode:Controller automatically adjusts its output to try to keep PV = SP. Setpoint value set "locally" by human operator.
- Cascade mode:Controller automatically adjusts its output to try to keep PV = SP. Setpoint value set "remotely" by primary (master) controller.
This means it's possible to defeat a cascade system by inserting the secondary controller within the wrong mode (automatic) even as it's possible to defeat any system by inserting the controller in manual mode. If a controller is "slaved" to a different controller, it should be left in cascade mode so as for the control strategy to operate as designed.

When the Indiana Pacers needed a lift, Paul George provided it. All over the court, over and over again.
George had 27 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and the host Pacers used a 19-0 second-half run to rally for a 101-85 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.
George Hill scored all his 15 points in the second half, helping top-seeded Indiana earn a split of the first two postseason games at home. George also had four steals and blocked a shot while helping keep Hawks point guard Jeff Teague in check.
"That's why he was in the M.V.P. conversation early," Pacers Coach Frank Vogel said. "He always does those types of things, guarding the best perimeter player, rebounding the ball, deflecting the ball. His hands were all over the place. It makes him one of the most complete players in the game when he plays like he did tonight."
The Pacers sure needed it.
For seven weeks, Indiana heard everyone question its fortitude, team chemistry, even whether it was worthy of a No. 1 seed. The complaints grew louder after Saturday's 101-93 loss. George and his teammates spent the next 72 hours seeking solutions.
On Tuesday, they finally returned to their early-season form.
Indiana limited the Hawks to 33 second-half points and dominated the third quarter. Next up is Game 3 on Thursday in Atlanta.
POPOVICH COACH OF THE YEAR San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich has been named the N.B.A. coach of the year, making him the third coach in league history to win the award three times.
Popovich has won it twice in the past three seasons and joins Don Nelson and Pat Riley as the only coaches to win the award three times.
Popovich led the Spurs to a league-best 62-20 record, which gives them home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. Popovich has led the Spurs to 15 straight 50-win seasons and has won 60 games four times in that time.
Popovich garnered 59 first-place votes. Phoenix's Jeff Hornacek finished in second place, while Chicago's Tom Thibodeau was third.
LAND FOR NEW ARENA The Golden State Warriors have agreed to terms to buy 12 acres in San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood to build a new arena.
The Warriors said they would buy the land from salesforce.com. The team was originally hoping to build a new arena on San Francisco's waterfront, but those plans faced opposition from critics concerned about traffic, environmental issues and blocked views of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
The proposed arena will have about 18,000 seats. The Warriors said it will be privately financed on private land near AT&T Park, home to the San Francisco Giants. Golden State plans to open its new arena for the 2018-19 season.

How to use business mailing lists for your direct mail campaign
Direct mail powered by business mailing lists has become a big advertising and marketing vehicle. It can be a viable part of any marketing plan which calls for reaching other businesses, from small and local businesses, to larger companies.
As with any other type of direct mail, one of the keys is to create a message or offer that captures the attention and interest of your prospective business customers and clients. For example, we all regularly receive mailers every day without paying attention to them. However, there are always those offers we read regularly, look forward to, and use. These are sometimes from companies we already do business with, but not always.
One thing to remember is that when targeting businesses, business mailing lists are the most important tool. Without a good targeted list of businesses to send to, you're wasting your time and money. A good business mailing list is only as good as the company that maintains it. We maintain our lists with meticulous care so that you always know the data is fresh and up to date.
The timing of a direct mail campaign is always important. If you are in retail and offering an item at a discounted price, ensure that you will have plenty of stock to meet demand. If you are offering a service such as an oil and filter change, staff up enough to meet demand on Saturday morning. Part of the art and science of direct mail marketing with business mailing lists is knowing when certain products and services are in demand and timing your campaign to coincide.
One more aspect to deal with is the tracking of responses. Unless you are getting details tracking the responses to your campaigns, you're not getting the full benefit of direct mail with business mailing lists. Knowing what worked and what didn't can be invaluable when planning your next campaign.

A couple of weeks ago, Spike Lee was at the Cannes Film Festival trying to get some press for Miracle At St Anna, his World War II drama about the all-black 92nd Buffalo Division and he called out some Hollywood filmmakers, particularly Eastwood.
The statements are not so much a critique on Eastwood's work, but a ridiculous accusation that he is racist. Not sure Morgan Freeman, Isaiah Washington, Dennis Haysbert, Mario Van Peebles, or Forest Whitaker would agree - all of whom have had great roles in Eastwood flicks. Lee's mentions that Eastwood did two movies about Iwo Jima, but neglects to mention one of them was from perspective of the Japanese, which had never been done before by an American director. But instead of praising him for his efforts he gets slammed.
Eastwood was at Cannes as well, promoting his new effort Changeling starring Angelina Jolie, but refused to respond to Lee's remarks until days later when in an interview with Focus magazine.
The above quote is even more stirring if you imagine it in Eastwood's voice. The only thing missing is the word "punk" at the end!

In the same breath in which the pope gives priests authority to decide to celebrate the old Latin Mass, he assures the bishops that their authority over liturgical matters is in no way lessened: "In conclusion, dear brothers, I very much wish to stress that these new norms do not in any way lessen your own authority and responsibility, either for the liturgy or for the pastoral care of your faithful... Nothing is taken away, then, from the authority of the bishop, whose role remains that of being watchful that all is done in peace and serenity..."
This is indeed a mystery. Currently the bishop is the one who determines if and when the Latin Mass may be celebrated. As of September, the pope removes the bishop's authority, and leaves the decision in the hands of priests. And this does not lessen the bishop's authority?

The major project of the College Women's Club of Montclair, Inc. is the Book Sale, which raises money for scholarships. Each year the club provides aid to graduating high school girls from Montclair, Glen Ridge, Verona and Cedar Grove for their college education. The club has awarded over a million dollars in scholarships to girls in Montclair and the surrounding area since its inception over 81 years ago. It supports the AAUW Education Foundation, which helps women reach their personal and professional goals through a series of fellowships and grants.
We rent Book Sale Headquarters in the basement of the Technopulp Building at 26 Park Street in Montclair, NJ, all year. We take donations of used Books, CDs, DVDs, LPs, Audio Tapes, Sheet Music, Software, Ephemera from area residents during the year, usually Saturdays from 9:30am until 11:45am. We collect Books from May through August and again from December through February. The Book Sales take place in November and April. We post our schedules on Baristanet.com, Patch.com, the jerseytomatopress.com and feature it on the Montclair Watercooler, the Montclair Times and the Montclair Local.
Our Book Sales allow us to create a substantial number of scholarships each year. For the 2018-2019 year we gave out $36,000 to 18 area high school senior girls. Quite impressive results for selling all those books for $.50, $1 and $2!!! We sold them but you donated them - many thanks!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We welcome volunteers to help with receiving, organizing and selling our donations. Our efforts were supported this past year by many high school volunteers. As these young people gained experience in community service, we enjoyed the enthusiasm and strength of their youth. There are many different opportunities for volunteers, including helping us receive and sort donations on Saturday mornings, distributing flyers and postcards before our sales, helping with online and other marketing, etc. This is a booklover's dream volunteer opportunity! Want to know more? Please contact Nancy Perlman at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call the Book Sale office at (973) 783-7040. We spend Wednesday and Saturday mornings at the Headquarters, and, as the Sale date nears, Mondays through Fridays. But please note, although we are sometimes there on other days, we only accept donations on the scheduled Saturdays when we have sufficient staff present to accept the stream of books. If you would like to help us sort on a Wednesday morning, please call (973) 783-7040 between 10:00 am and noon to be sure someone is there.
We are open starting Saturday, December 7, 2019, for donations. Our donation policy has been altered - our contract with our landlord has changed and we are now limited in our use of space. We can therefore accept LIMITED donations at Booksale Headquarters on the following Saturdays from 9:30am 'til 11:45am.
Donors may drop off no more than 12 containers each week, either bags, cartons (with maximum dimensions of 10" X 12" X 15"), or a combination. They may return on subsequent weeks, following the same guidelines.
December 7 14, 21 (2019) (no donations December 28)
January 4, 11, 18, 25 (2020)
February 1, 8, 15 (2020)
It's easier to say what we don't accept than to list what we do. We DO NOT want
- Encyclopedia sets
- Reader's Digest Condensed books (or similar)
- Textbooks (unless quite recent or very old)
- AAA Travel Guides or maps
- Travel Guides that are more than 3-4 years old (unless they are very old)

- Media of all kinds: DVDs, CDs, records (no 78's), audio books (CD and audio tape), audio tapes. They must all be in their original printed jackets. Please don't bring us empty cases (check those CD jewel boxes), or anything that you recorded yourself (we can't legally resell those).
- Software
- Sheet music, maps, postcards
- Magazines from before 1980, except for National Geographic which must be from before WWII
If you want a tax receipt, please come prepared with a count of how many of each kind of item you brought. We do not have the space for you to count your books after you get here. Please bring donations in bags or boxes. Loose books are very difficult for us to handle and books in garbage bags are easily damaged. Please don't tie books up with string. Plastic over paper grocery bags work very well, as do smaller boxes such as wine/beer boxes or file boxes (sometimes called banker's boxes). Please use containers that you can just leave with us. Those re-useable bags are very nice, but only if you don't want them back.
Please pull up in the striped area in front of the door on the side of the building to unload. DO NOT park in the building lot - you may stop briefly to drop off books but do not leave your car unattended. The building tenants rent their spaces year round and they will call the police to ticket your car if you park in one of their slots
Dropoff location:

Coconut oil has hundreds of uses among them is the use of coconut oil for insect repellent. It can be used as a natural way to repel ticks as the scent of coconut oil irritates the senses of bugs and ticks making it more difficult for these nasty pests to locate their next victim. The good thing about coconut oil is that it can be applied directly to the skin with no irritation. The oil is a good moisturizer so it delivers added benefits in addition to repelling bugs.
Coconut Oil Tick Repellent
Coconut oil is used throughout the tropics, indigenous people apply it generously in its pure form to moisturize their skin and to ward off mosquitos.
Best pure Coconut Oil for insect repellent to repel ticks
One of the many components that make up Coconut oil is Lauric Acid a kind of saturated fat. Plants produce Lauric acid to fend of Aphids and other sap-sucking insects. It seems that lauric acid also repels ticks, fleas, and mosquitos, thus giving coconut oil insect its repelling properties.
To use coconut oil for insect repellent it can be directly applied to the human skin.
When used on your pet dog or cat, take a small quantity in the palm of your hand and gently pet and stroke your pet. You only need very little of it avoid overdosing, the fur of the animal should not seem wet or drip but only shine. A cat will further spread it while it's fur.
Pure Body Naturals Fractionated Coconut Oil for Hair and Skin, 16 Fl. Ounce
- Fractionated Coconut Oil – extracts only the finest part of coconut oil to create a premium carrier oil and a great massage oil
- One (1) 16-ounce bottle with pump of Pure Body Naturals 100% Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil
- Use Pure Body Naturals Fractionated Coconut Oil in hair as a natural conditioner
- Use on the skin as a natural skin softener, moisturizer, sunscreen and a natural way to repel ticks and insects
- It can be mixed with other carriers and essential oils
What else repels ticks on humans?
For a homemade tick, repellent use coconut oil as a base oil and mix it with essential oil. All you need are the ingredients and a pump spray bottle. As a natural way to repel ticks, apply this mixture several times in a day when outdoors.
Recipe for homemade tick repellent
Fill pure coconut oil into a spray bottle and ad about 2% of essential oil of your preference to it. The following oils will work very well with coconut oil:
Tea Tree
You need to find out about your own dosage of essential oils – starting with an approximately 2% mixture (100g – 2g) to reduce skin reactions.
Safety Warning:
Some people react to essential oils. Check for allergic reaction before use. Apply a very small amount to the skin inside your elbow area to test for any reaction. If a rash occurs consult your healthcare professional.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, keep out of the reach of children. If pregnant, consult with your doctor before use.

The Opening Bell 10/9/18: How To Properly Complain At A Restaurant.
When people go out to a restaurant there is an expectation to be taken care of, but what do you do if you feel the need to complain? Steve Grzanich sat down with Doug Roth (President and CEO of Playground Hospitality) to discuss the right way to navigate a delicate restaurant situation from a customer's viewpoint. Matthew Bragg (Director of Data and Policy at the Illinois Science and Technology Coalition) then joined the program to discuss the drivers that place Illinois as the 8th most innovative state in the country and what will help lead us to the top of the list.

A paper presented by the Digital Engineering Research Group in the Institute of Mechanical, Energy and Process Engineering has won a prestigious best paper award at the ASME 2013 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences' (IDETC) Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE) in Portland, Oregon, USA. Entitled "The Evaluation of a Virtual Aided Design Engineering Review (VADER) System for Automated Knowledge Capture and Reuse" this work demonstrates the team's successful application of an intuitive virtual reality interface for the capture and reuse of engineering knowledge and rationale.
Knowledge capture/reuse is a key challenge in engineering and other industries. Current manual methods are costly, time consuming and potentially capture the wrong data due to human error and poor knowledge relationship formalisation. Companies require low cost, fast, automated engineering knowledge acquisition for current and future product development and training.
Evaluated by industrial project partners from major UK/International companies - including aerospace, shipbuilding, construction and defence firms - VADER automatically and unobtrusively captures multimodal user exchanges during design reviews via the synchronous time-phased logging of software interactions, product models, audio, video and other input devices. By processing the captured data, review reports and records are automatically generated allowing fast product/activity knowledge retrieval.
VADER's backbone is a unique ubiquitous integration and temporal synchronisation (UbiITS) framework which captures synchronised structured and unstructured data in real-time. Visualisation is via a 3D virtual environment or remotely via multiple tablets, laptops or other devices. Engineers can visualise and annotate 3D design models providing a timeline interface to search/visualise captured decisions from, say, a design review. This approach is generic and applicable to sectors other than engineering, e.g. finance, services, medical, etc. VADER also provides a foundation for novel blue skies research into understanding human interactions and behaviour during meetings and reviews of any kind. However, this work is also very much applied, indeed using the existing VADER solution provides significant opportunities for research/development projects, such as TSB and KTP, for companies requiring the capture of their 'experts' legacy knowledge, potentially providing business benefits over the medium to long term.

Skyhawks hold Greyhounds under 29-percent shooting for key win
EASTON, Mass. (January 15, 2013) – Stonehill College, who moved up six spots to No. 17 in this week's USA TODAY Sports/Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Division II poll, turned in its best defensive performance of the season to claim a key 57-44 triumph over Assumption College, among teams receiving votes nationally, in Northeast-10 Conference women's basketball action at Merkert Gymnasium tonight.
Junior Mary Louise Dixon (Wellesley, Mass./Wellesley) was the lone Stonehill player in double-figures, leading a balanced offensive effort with 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field, connecting on her lone three point attempt, and converting both free-throw attempts to go with six rebounds, five assists and a steal. Sophomore Tori Faieta (Lynn, Mass./Saint Mary's) added nine points on 4-of-8 shooting, including a three-pointer, with five rebounds and four blocked shots, while classmate Jamie Panton (Essex Junction, Vt./Essex) posted nine points on 3-of-6 shooting, including a turnaround half court buzzer-beater to end the first half, three assists, a blocked shot and steal. Junior Asia Ewing (Westford, Mass./Westford Academy) pulled down a game-high matching ten rebounds to go with four points, five blocked shots and three assists.
Stonehill held Assumption to 28.4-percent (19-for-67) shooting from the field, including 19.4% (6-31) in the first half, and just 2-for-13 (15.4%) from three-point range as the Skyhawks blocked ten shots in the contest and forced ten turnovers. The Skyhawks finished with a 43-41 rebounding edge, and shot 41.8% (23-55) from the field, including 46.2% (12-26) in the second half to pull away, while connecting on 6-of-15 (40%) three-pointers.
Senior Gabrielle Gibson (Amityville, N.Y./Copaigue) led Assumption with a game-high 18 points on 7-of-19 shooting, including 2-for-5 from three-point range, while converting 2-of-3 free-throws to go with six rebounds. Classmate Sabrina Siciliano (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield-Warde) posted a double-double with 12 points and ten rebounds (five offensive), shooting 6-for-15 from the field, and three steals.

Assumption posted a 14-4 advantage in points off turnovers and a 17-11 edge in second chance points. Stonehill connected on 5-of-6 (83.3%) free-throws on the night, while the Greyhounds were 4-for-11 (36.4%) at the stripe.
The teams combined for just 15 points through the first ten minutes before Stonehill started to earn some breathing room with an 8-0 run over five minutes to turn a one point (9-8) deficit into a seven point cushion (16-9) after a layup from freshman Paige Marshall (Braintree, Mass./Braintree) with 4:58 left in the half. Pelletier and Dixon sparked the run with three-pointers for the Skyhawks.
Stonehill stretched the lead to eight points (21-13) with a basket from sophomore Ashley Gendron (Auburn, N.H./Manchester Memorial) with 3:24 remaining. Assumption closed within four (21-17) after a layup by Siciliano with 2:31 to go, but Stonehill scored the final nine points of the half to take a 13 point lead (30-17) into halftime after Panton's half court buzzer-beater.
Stonehill pushed the lead to 17 (38-21) on a Panton layup five minutes into the second half. Assumption responded with an 11-2 run to close within eight (40-32) after a Siciliano basket with 10:34 remaining. That would be as close as the Greyhounds would get as Stonehill reeled off a 17-4 clinching run to take a 21 point lead (57-36) with a Faieta layup with 4:59 on the clock. Six straight points from Dixon and seven from Faieta keyed the run for the Skyhawks.
Stonehill are now winners of five straight and improve to 8-0 at home with the win. The Skyhawks are now two full games clear Assumption, Franklin Pierce University and UMass Lowell who are tied for third place, holding the head-to-head tiebreaker over all three.
Stonehill (13-1, 9-1 NE-10) hits the road for a pair of games starting Saturday at Le Moyne College at 1 p.m. The Skyhawks return home on Saturday, January 26, to host Southern Connecticut State University at 1:30 p.m. Assumption (10-4, 7-3 NE-10) hosts Saint Anselm College on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

Customers in Great Britain could be saved up to £12 million annually following a year-long trial of voltage controllers in Electricity North West's substations.
The network found using the cutting-edge technology could cut costs in the North West by £100 million over the next 25 years and by £300 million over the whole of Great Britain.
"Voltage controllers could save a 'significant amount' of power for the region, make the network more flexible while helping save customers money."
The findings came after a 12-month trial, during which voltage controllers were installed at 60 substations, each serving around 10,000 customers, as part of Electricity North West CLASS project.
The aim of the project was to balance the network by using the technology to reduce the voltage across Electricity North West's network by small amounts without disrupting customers' service.
Steve Cox, engineering and technology director for Electricity North West, said the network was always looking at how new technology could improve services and reduce costs for customers.
He said the voltage controllers could save a "significant amount" of power for the region, make the network more flexible while helping save customers money.
The firm will now install the technology at up to 260 substations across the North West after awarding a contract to Schneider Electric to supply the devices.

Simulation: Presentation Technique and Cognitive Method
Digitalization has remodeled the discourse of structure: that discourse is now outlined through a wealth of recent phrases and ideas that in the past both had no that means, or had diversified meanings, within the context of architectural concept and layout.

In the context of discussions of the medial, the proposal of simulation performs a important function in structure as phantasm and imitation. In discussion with info know-how and machine technology, even if, that thought has now taken on a brand new caliber in architectural discourse. at the present time after we converse of simulation we essentially ponder "computer simulation," the technical skill to simulate processes.
Whereas simulation used to consult a method of presentation, it now connects structure with the sciences and represents a strategic and methodological software, a device of discovery. With the medical precept of simulation the focal point shifts to the belief of "modeling a dynamic system" (Norbert Wiener), not only proposing accomplished items yet getting in seek of ideas and constructing structures!

It's that time of year again, when you are or thinking collecting eggs for incubation. This is one of the most exciting times of the year, no matter how many years you have been hatching fowl, and it makes little difference how old you are as it is always a learning experience.
Selecting Hatching Eggs
To begin with you need good hatching eggs. Try not to use dirty eggs and if needs be gently buff clean and maybe actually wipe down with a sanitised cloth to reduce the likelihood of contamination. Stay clear of eggs that are misshaped, fine cracks etc. Generally poor quality eggs will lose too much moisture (cracks and thin shells), be infertile or be contaminated. If the eggs are precious and there is little choice, what sometimes works is a little nail polish directly on the crack, as it seals it up, but only a little as it will close up the minute breathable pores also.

In September, Chicken Vet welcomed two new veterinary practices to its network of Associated Practices. To become an Associated Practice, a resident vet must have attended one of our monthly CPD training courses. Run by our team of poultry experts, the course gives a comprehensive look at backyard poultry health and husbandry and provides vets with greater knowledge and expertise when it comes to treating your chickens.Read More
A Smallholder Directory client has launched a new service for chicken keepers. The Cosy Hen Company, near Usk, in South Wales, says that the rise in popularity of keeping chickens has created demand for a boarding service while owners are away from home. Chickens need to be fed and watered, have their bedding changed and be kept safe from foxes. Neighbours can sometimes do this, but it's a lot to ask, especially when it rains, or the owners are planning an extended trip abroad.Read More
Preparing for your rescued hens
There's very little that beats the feel-good factor of using your own produce to prepare meals for yourself and your family, especially when that includes going out to the garden and gathering eggs from your own chickens – and it's a double feel-good factor when those eggs are gathered from re-homed commercial hens that have been saved from a trip to the abattoir.Read More

Victim is stabbed 11 times
A killer who stabbed his victim 11 times in a busy shopping street, in an "unprovoked, vicious attack" has been convicted of murder.
Alando Bolt, of Adelaide Close, off Coldharbour Lane, was also found guilty, on Friday at the Old Bailey, of possession of an offensive weapon.
The 45-year-old had stabbed his victim, Andrew Thompson, 11 times, during an attack in broad daylight in Atlantic Road, Brixton.
Bolt and Thompson, 30, had met in the street at around 12.50pm on August 18. They were seen to be talking, when Bolt suddenly launched an attack with a knife.
The pair were seen having a discussion on CCTV – and Bolt was later seen, also on another camera, running away from the scene carrying a knife.
Mr Thompson was not armed with any weapons and did not strike Bolt at all. But he was still repeatedly stabbed by Bolt, who then ran from the scene.
Police and London Ambulance Service were called, but Mr Thompson had suffered a series of serious injuries and his life could not be saved.
He was pronounced dead at 2.08pm the same afternoon, less than 90 minutes after the stabbing.
The post-mortem examination found the victim had received 11 knife wounds.
The fatal wound was a stab wound to the chest which pierced his heart. There was also a serious wound to the victim's head and a defensive wound to the victim's arm.
Following the incident an investigation was launched by officers from the Homicide and Major Crime Command (HMCC).
Bolt was quickly identified as a suspect and he was arrested at 10.30pm that same day, at an address in Streatham High Road.
Clothing similar to that worn by the attacker was recovered – and Bolt had a recent cut to his right hand.
He made no comment after his arrest and was charged with murder on Sunday, 20 August.
In the run up to his trial, Bolt admitted that he killed Mr Thompson.
His case was that there had been some previous dispute and when they bumped into each other they had argued. Bolt stated that he believed he was going to be attacked, so he stabbed Mr Thompson in self-defence.
This justification was rejected by the jury, who found him guilty of murder.
Bolt will be sentenced on March 12 at the same court.
DI Garry Moncrieff of the HMCC, said: "It is incredible that a trivial dispute could apparently lead to murder and so much despair. Bolt deliberately armed himself with a knife and then carried out an unprovoked, vicious, and protracted assault. This attack was in broad daylight and in a busy street.
"I do not doubt that this day will haunt those who saw what happened and I am glad the jury has seen through Bolt's spurious claim of self defence.
"I hope this conviction will now bring some comfort to Mr Thompson's family and friends."

A revelation or a hallucination
unknown to humanity, mortals
danced on the delusional wisdom
relayed from an unknown source
(They vowed to serve "HIM" beyond their grave).
Humanness draped in fear
brawled perpetually,
(to please the mighty),
greed engulfed the conscience,
as they longed for "The Wonderland",
fashioned to disown the "NOW" ,they
washed their souls in "Infidels blood".
Who filled the bill,the sane or the insane?
(Or was it their "HE" from the land of Utopia?).

Prince George, B.C. – Prince George Cougars General Manager Todd Harkins announced today that the Prince George Cougars have reassigned forwards Jackson Leppard and Tyler Ho along with defenceman Jonas Harkins to their respective Midget AAA teams. The three 2000-born players were the first three players selected by the Prince George Cougars in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft.
"We talk all the time about how bright our future is as an organization, and these three players are a major reason why," said Prince George Cougars General Manager, Todd Harkins. "All three came into Training Camp ready to turn some heads, and they didn't disappoint."
Harkins adds, "They showed poise, patience, and confidence throughout the preseason and fit right in with our veterans. We know that all three guys are going to play a big part in the success of their Midget teams and we wish them all of the best moving forward."
Jackson Leppard was selected eighth overall by the Prince George Cougars back in May. He suited up in three preseason games for the Cougars and will now suit up this weekend for the Vancouver Northwest Giants as they take part in the BCMML Midget AAA Showcase in Kelowna.
Jonas Harkins was selected in the second round (29th overall) by the Prince George Cougars in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft. He dressed in three preseason games for the Cougars and recorded four penalty minutes. He will now suit up for the Cariboo Cougars of the BCMML and is also Kelowna-bound for the Midget AAA Showcase.
Tyler Ho was drafted in the third round (66th overall) by Prince George in the 2015 draft and also drew into three preseason games. He'll join Jonas Harkins with the Cariboo Cougars, and will suit up this weekend in Kelowna at the Midget AAA Showcase.
With the departure of Leppard, Harkins and Ho, the Prince George Cougars preseason roster now sits at 33 players: 19 forwards, 10 defensemen and four goaltenders. The Cougars next preseason game will take place on Saturday, September 12th at 11:00 AM against the Kootenay Ice. That game is the third and final game for the Cougars during their WHL preseason showcase tournament in Kennewick, WA.

What Makes a Good Article for On-Page SEO?
Write Articles that Rank Well
Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI)
How do you write a really good article, one that will return high in the Google SERPs? Let's talk about the buzzword "latent semantic indexing", or LSI. There's nothing complex about this, it simply means that Google makes connections between related words. Take a word like "airfare", plug it into Google's Keyword Planner tool, and it spits out words like cheap, deals, discount, lowest, best, tickets, flights, international, sales and more. Just use those words in your article. For SEO purposes, that's about all there is too it.
Related Terms
It's not hard to write an article that ranks well in Google. You just need to keep in mind to use the words Google thinks are related. Where Matt Cutt's says, "Just write so it sounds natural.", this is where LSI comes into play. An article about airfares would naturally contain words like deals, tickets, flights, international, etc.
If you know your topic really well, write an article that covers the related keyword terms appropriately and you have a winner. If you don't, simply go to the Keyword Planner tool, type in your keyword and it will reveal all the words that Google thinks are related. This isn't rocket science.
You should be cautious, however, about including unrelated terms. If you start writing an article about airfares and somehow you've worked in "web hosting" into the article, that would detract from an article's relevancy, diluting it. Your article is then no longer simply about airfares, but also hosting. So don't do that. You now know all you need to about LSI.
Pagerank Sculpting
This is a fun topic. It's about hoarding pagerank! This was my favorite past-time circa 2009. Nowadays, PR has a bad rap. "Pagerank? That hasn't updated in years bro." Actually, visual pagerank hasn't updated in years. The pagerank that Google uses internally to rank your pages is updated daily. Just because Google decided to stop showing everyone what it is, doesn't mean it no longer exists.
Why would you want to hoard pagerank? Quite simply, you want this stuff to stay within the pages you want to rank. This is one of the reasons that having junky articles on your website, that are perhaps duplicate content, or not designed to rank for a keyword, is a waste. They're sponges, soaking up all the PR floating around on your site. Because the pages aren't relevant, or Google doesn't even index them because they're dupes, they're not giving anything back to your site.
There is one particular video from Matt Cutts that discusses pagerank sculpting. The video comments on two things in particular. These questions are:
- Does a page, when it links to itself, convey pagerank?
- Does a page, when it links twice to another page, convey twice the pagerank?
In short, Matt Cutt's answers to those questions are yes, and yes. What are the implications of this? The first is that it makes good sense for a page to link to itself. The second is that, if there is a page on your website that you want to flow extra pagerank to (lets say it is a better performing page), then it makes sense to link to that page, in-content, more than once. The exact quotes from Matt in this regard are shown below.
If I have 4 outlinks, the pagerank that's left on that page will be divided by 4. The pagerank will flow equally across each one of those links. … What will happen if say, 2 of the links point to page B, and the other links go to other places? The answer is, at least according to the original formulation in the pagerank paper, both of those links would flow pagerank, so twice as much pagerank would flow through those links. … Does a link from A to A, so a "self loop", does that count? And the answer is that in the original formulation of pagerank, yes, it does count.
You see some wiggleroom that he gives himself, referencing "original pagerank", however — I doubt he'd be telling everyone this if he was aware that things work differently now. Google doesn't benefit from telling webmasters about sculpting their pagerank to this degree, and quite frankly I'm surprised Matt gave such concise answers. Of course, he ended the video by saying don't worry about pagerank sculpting and instead build better content.
The take-away? A page linking to itself is good for on-page SEO, and if you want to give extra emphasis to another page, two links from the same article to another article conveys twice the pagerank.
There's one more issue when it comes to pagerank sculpting (or lack thereof), and that is nofollow links. In short, people have this assumption that if you have an outgoing link to somewhere, throwing a "rel=nofollow" on the link will preserve your pagerank. That is not true. Again, if you link out to anywhere, you're spending pagerank to that link that you could have spent within your own website, regardless of whether it was a regular link or nofollowed link. Matt said this about it.
So what happens when you have a page with "ten PageRank points" and ten outgoing links, and five of those links are nofollowed? Let's leave aside the decay factor to focus on the core part of the question. Originally, the five links without nofollow would have flowed two points of PageRank each (in essence, the nofollowed links didn't count toward the denominator when dividing PageRank by the outdegree of the page). More than a year ago, Google changed how the PageRank flows so that the five links without nofollow would flow one point of PageRank each.
To paraphrase Matt, a page has some pagerank to spend. It has 10 outgoing links. 5 of those are nofollow. It used to be mean that the 5 links without nofollow each passed 100% of the pagerank the page had to offer. After that 2009 update, because of the nofollow outgoing links, the remaining links only passed 50% of the pagerank, the rest was wasted on the nofollow links, that didn't receive any pagerank.
The take-away from this? The first is to keep in mind that if you're linking out with a no-follow, you're still wasting pagerank. Alternatively, internal nofollows do not waste pagerank. In this video, we have Matt Cutts stating, "it doesn't hurt if you want to put a nofollow on" (paraphrased) other pages to your site.
This is why, with affiliate links, I always block a directory with robots.txt, and nofollow the affiliate link internally to that blocked directory, where it then redirects to the affiliate URL. This conserves your pagerank, because Google doesn't eliminate your pagerank when ou nofollow internal links. There's also the theory that Google hates affiliate websites, so this also protects yourself if that's the case.
Should You Link Out?
All this talk about pagerank sculpting and conserving your pagerank may lead one to believe that it's not at all beneficial to link to other people's websites. I don't believe that is the case. In the same pagerank scultping article, referenced above, in the comments section, Matt Cutts said the following:
but there are also parts of our system that trust and encourage sites to link out well
Did you catch that? You get trust for linking out to good sites. Parts of the Google algorithm will encourage you to link out. How powerful this is, I'm not sure — yet I believe that whatever you lose in terms of pagerank by linking out, you gain even more from other aspects of Google's algorithm.
This concludes the on-page SEO series. Did I tell you everything I know? I don't know, maybe! But off the top of my head, I can't think up another page-worth of content so I'll leave it at this for now. I sincerely hope this guide improves your on-page SEO abilities. Feel free to ask any questions about it and I'll answer them below.

The service launches in early summer and will include real-time news and travel updates, allowing people to compare travel options across different modes of transport and book and pay for journeys online.
Red's brief is to engage key stakeholders and transport bodies in the early stages of the campaign and develop creative and interactive consumer launch platforms to take Transport Direct to the public in early summer.
A DfT spokesman said: 'We believe Transport Direct is a huge step towards the Government increasing the quality and accuracy of travel information across the UK.'

Next month, Universal Pictures will highlight Los Angeles' lowrider culture with the release of Lowriders, starring the likes of Eva Longoria, Demián Bichir and Gabriel Chavarria.
To make the film as authentic as possible, the studio enlisted historic retailer Greenspan's (located in South Gate) to outfit the cast with looks seen within the culture wear.
Ahead of the film, executive producer/photographer Estevan Oriol visits the store to chop it up with father-son co-owners, Evan and Josh Greenspan, who talk about their business' history… which dates back to 1928.
Greenspan's also outfitted the cast of 2015's N.W.A. biopic, Straight Outta Compton.
Greenspan's is located at: 3405 Tweedy Blvd, South Gate, CA. For more info, visit their website here.

In most ancient traditions from all over the world some sort of a de-tox over the spring equinox is expected and in my own culture abstinence (traditionally giving up eggs, fat and milk) in the 40 days that run up to Good Friday used to be the norm. So, partly out of respect for all these traditions, and partly because I needed it, just over forty days ago I gave up wheat, sugar, dairy and coffee for Lent. At the time it seemed a very tall order and I really wondered whether I could survive the challenge. I have known for some time that wheat is really not my friend, but allowed myself to be woefully tempted over Christmas and it was actually the resulting and pervading sense of systemic grottiness that prompted my Lenten abstention.

A couple of strange calls to 911, from the Tonight Show.
Speaking of 911 calls, here's a 911 call... is it real though?
On a much less humorous note, the emphasis on 911 calls is due to my research into 9/11 conspiracy theories. Some of them just defy common sense. Americans would do well to head over to Youtube or Google Video or whatever and watch the footage of 9/11 again. I think even those of us who support the "War on Terror" have forgotten how horrible that day was.
Not that it deserves it, but the new movie Basic Instinct 2: Something Or Other is getting universally awful reviews. That means they'll have to rely on Whatshisname from the Sixty Second movie reviews. He'll say anything.
Anyway, there aren't many reviews yet, but I thought we could help the distributors of Basic Instinct 2 by helping them find good quotes to put on their ads. It turns out that there aren't many to find about a two-hour raunchfest featuring a 48 year old naked woman. But that doesn't mean we can't creatively manufacture some!
Check out this review at Moviehole.net.
Here's some excerpts:
At 48, Sharon Stone looks terrific.
Ladies and Gents, here's a weak-a** "Taggart" episode, but with that remarkable music theme from "Basic Instinct" played over it, so you don't notice.

"Safeway" is the first word I ever read. I was trouble as a kid. For the first time since 1982, Safeway has decided to change their logo. This was the OLD logo that is still seen on most of their stores.
Even the new store they built down the street this year uses this logo, despite being built after Safeway rolled out a brand new, more modern logo.
Well, they finally put one of these logos on the Safeway in Kenmore. To be honest, it just doesn't look good. Jennifer figured it out though. The S just looks bizarre and lonely in the new logo. Kinda like this:
It looks like the Showgirls logo! S is for Showgirls! AHHHHHHH!
