Fan Check
With NITRO+ models, SAPPHIRE has upped the stakes with its new Fan Check, which allows users to check the cooler's status via SAPPHIRE TriXX 3.0 software, and contact customer support in case of problems.
NITRO Quick Connect
SAPPHIRE's Quick Connect System provides a quick and easy solution. If there's a fan issue detected, the user doesn't need to return the entire card – SAPPHIRE's partners will send out a replacement fan directly to the customer or the retailer. Please contact your place of purchase to request a fan replacement. SAPPHIRE's channel partner will arrange the ideal solution for you to receive your replacement fan.
NITRO CoolTech
With the SAPPHIRE NITRO Gaming Series cards' Intelligent Fan Control III, the fan starts precisely at 56 degrees Celsius to smartly balance performance against fan noise.
NITRO Boost
The new NITRO Boost switch increases the boost clock and power limit for higher performance to unleash the gaming performance of the card.
Planning to overclock or looking for maximum performance? SAPPHRE NITRO cards come with an 8 pin power connector to plug in and enable Nitro Boost.
Dual-X Cooling
SAPPHIRE's acclaimed Dual-X Cooling is powered by two massive yet silent fans and state-of-the-art radiator design. The new form of our 95mm blades mean greater airflow and superior heatsink coverage at lower noise compared to standard cooling designs.
These feature dual ball bearing fans, which have an 85% longer lifespan than sleeve bearings in our tests.
VR Friendly
The SAPPHIRE NITRO Gaming Series cards come with Dual HDMI ports, specifically designed to work with VR. By having two HDMI ports, you can have both an HD monitor and cutting-edge VR headset running at the same time.
The ports are HDMI 2.0b, the latest update, with an 18Gbps bandwidth, up to 32 audio channels, and is able to support 4K 50/60 resolutions like 2160P, whilst remaining entirely backwards compatible with older HDMI specifications.
Frame Rate Target Control
Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC) enables users to set a target maximum frame rate when playing an application in full screen mode; the benefit being that FRTC can reduce GPU power consumption (great for games running at frame rates much higher than the display refresh rate) and therefore reduce heat generation and fan speeds/noise on the graphics card.
Frame Rate Target Control caps performance not only in 3D rendered in-game scenes, but also in splash screens, loading screens and menus, where frame rates can often run needlessly into the hundreds of FPS. Users might wish to set a very high cap just to limit wasteful FPS like that seen in menus and such, while still taking advantage of the responsiveness given by FPS well beyond 60.
DirectX® 12
DirectX® 12 is a new, "console-like" graphics API from Microsoft® that empowers game developers with more direct and obvious control of PC hardware. This direct or "explicit" control better exposes the hardware resources of AMD Radeon™ GPUs to yield higher hardware throughput and, ultimately, more performance for users. To put it simply: much more efficient hardware through smarter software! At the discretion of a game developer, this superior efficiency can be spent on higher framerates, lower latency (VR), lower power consumption, better image quality, or some calculated balance of all four. In any scenario, gamers stand to benefit greatly from choosing AMD hardware to run their favorite DirectX® 12 game.
AMD Freesync technology
No stuttering. No tearing. Just gaming.
AMD FreeSync™ technology allows a compatible graphics card and monitor to dynamically change frame rates for the optimum display quality without tearing or stuay.
Industry-Standard Displayport
Freesync uses industry-standard displayport Adaptive-Sync Eliminates screen tearing without all the usual lag and latency
- Synchronizes the refresh rate of a compatible monitor to the frame rate of your content, however much it varies
- Monitor partners are validating with drivers from AMD now
AMD XConnect™ Technology
Plug in and game on with AMD XConnect technology.
Now it's easier than ever to connect and use an external Radeon™ graphics card. With AMD XConnect™ technology, external GPU enclosures configured with Radeon™ Graphics can easily connect and disconnect to a compatible ultrathin notebook or 2-in 1 over Thunderbolt™ 3 at any time, just like a USB flash drive—a first for external GPUs!
AMD Eyefinity Technology
Multidisplay technology for gaming, productivity and entertainment
We are taking you beyond the boundaries of traditional PC displays. AMD Eyefinity technology expands the traditional limits of desktop computing by multiplying your screen area. With multiple monitors, games become more immersive, workstations become more useful and you become more productive (an average of 42% more productive according to one study).
Take your PC games to the next level of reality and immersion. Most modern games look great on three screens, and only AMD Radeon™ graphics offer you the ability to play across five screens for an eye-popping gaming experience. Other combinations and configurations with up to six screens work too.1 Create your dream display.
AMD Crossfire™
Harness the power of multiple GPUs
AMD CrossFire™ technology is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform. Unlocking game-dominating power, AMD CrossFire™ harnesses the power of two or more discrete graphics cards working in parallel to dramatically improve gaming performance.1 AMD CrossFire™ technology ready graphics cards fit practically every budget. With the flexibility to combine two, three or four GPUs, AMD CrossFire™ technology is the perfect solution for those who demand extreme performance.
HDR Ready
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a state-of-the-art technology for gamers and cinephiles that care deeply about the display quality of their TV or monitor. Modeled after the acuity of human vision, HDR vastly expands the range of colors and contrast ratios that can be shown by compatible displays. HDR-ready games and movies played on an HDR display appear strikingly sharp, colorful, and vivid, with enhanced contrast and sophisticated nuance compared to even the most stunning SDR content.
Fuse protection
In order to protect your card, the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ series cards have fuse protection built into the circuit of the external PCI-E power connector to keep the components safe.
Precision fan control
Standard industry fans may have up to 10% difference between their fan rotation cycles (RPM). With the new Fan IC Control on SAPPHIRE NITRO + graphics cards, this differential is reduced to 3%. This 70% improvement on accuracy ensures that cooling and noise performance of every NITRO + card is up to scratch.
Robust VRM Cooling
The SAPPHIRE NITRO+ cards are designed with robust VRM cooling and have a high thermal conductivity pad on the backplate to take away the heat efficiently and effectively.
Nitro Glow 2
The graphics card is more than another component; it's the beating heart of your gaming system. It should look as good as it costs. With tasteful shroud design augmented by RGB LEDs, each card is practically a piece of art. You can even change the colours of the LED, for your own customized design. This can be controlled via software using the latest version of SAPPHIRE's Award Winning Overclocking Utility – TriXX 3.0. Users can choose from a set of five different modes including Fan Speed Mode, PCB Temperature Mode or the colourful rainbow mode. If you prefer, LEDs can also be turned off.
Black Diamond Choke 4
Our Black Diamond Chokes are 10% cooler and 25% more power efficient than a normal choke – and these Mark 4 Chokes reduce the coil temperatures by other 15% over the Mark 3s.
These exclusive chokes will maintain gaming stability using their built-in heatsinks and help minimize coil whine
Dual Ball Bearing – 1.85X longer life
Dual ball bearings on the fan spindles ensure smooth running and long life and are designed to keep out dust. A quiet cooling solution, Two ball-bearing fan features a high-efficiency blade design.
Long life black polymer cap
High quality aluminum-made long life capacitor is not only to extend the component life time, the product reliability and overclocking ability are also improved.

A Double-Blind Randomized Placebo-Controlled Withdrawal Trial Comparing Memantine and Antipsychotics for the Long-Term Treatment of Function and Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in People With Alzheimer's Disease (MAIN-AD)
Ballard C., Thomas A., Gerry S., Yu LM., Aarsland D., Merritt C., Corbett A., Davison C., Sharma N., Khan Z., Creese B., Loughlin P., Bannister C., Burns A., Win SN., Walker Z., Ferreira N., Koranteng P., Vanderputt R., Akinola M., Martos L., Adams J., Dransfield C., Pavey M., Collicott N., Hall C., Rigby L., Warr LD., Leontis M., Shora S., Bhan-Kotwal S.
© 2015 AMDA - The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer disease (AD) cause significant distress and present a complex clinical challenge for treatment. Pharmacological treatment options are limited to antipsychotics, which carry extensive safety issues. There is emerging evidence to support the potential benefits of memantine, currently licensed for moderate to severe AD, in the prophylaxis of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Methods: The MAIN-AD study is a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled withdrawal trial comparing memantine with antipsychotics for the treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms over 24weeks. A total of 199 people with probable AD living in care homes already receiving an antipsychotic were randomized to receive either memantine or to continue an antipsychotic. The primary outcomes were function (Bristol Activities of Daily Living Scale [BADLS]) and agitation (Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory [CMAI]). Secondary outcomes were Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and mortality. Results: There was no significant difference between groups on the BADLS or CMAI. At 24weeks, there was a nonsignificant adjusted difference in favor of memantine on the BADLS of 0.23 (95% CI -1.80-2.27; P=.82) and in favor of antipsychotic on the CMAI of 0.09 (95% CI -0.35-8.53; P=.07). Although there were no significant differences in total NPI, there were 5.01 (95% CI -1.68-11.70; P=.05) and 3.63 (95% CI -1.40-8.67; P=.16) point advantages favoring antipsychotics at weeks 12 and 24, respectively. In addition, in an exploratory analysis, individuals allocated to antipsychotics were significantly less likely to experience relapse of neuropsychiatric symptoms at all time points. The group receiving memantine had a nonsignificant 1.3-point advantage on the MMSE at 24weeks. Discussion: This study indicates no benefits for memantine in the long-term treatment and prophylaxis of clinically significant neuropsychiatric symptoms. The results did indicate some benefits for antipsychotic medications in reducing the relapse of neuropsychiatric symptoms, but this must be balanced against increased mortality risk.

Robert Avery, DO, MSCE, Studies Innovations to Improve Vision in Children with Tumors
Robert Avery, DO, MSCE, of Children's National Health System, and colleagues are establishing innovative approaches with technology and medication to improve the vision of young children who have visual pathway glioma, a type of brain tumor.
Most optic pathway gliomas cause vision loss in children between one and eight years of age. As many as 20 percent of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 -- a genetic disorder that occurs in 1 in every 4,000 births – may develop these tumors. It is estimated that nearly half of those children may experience vision problems from their tumors.
Optic pathway gliomas can also occur sporadically, and not be related to neurofibromatosis type 1. Vision loss from these tumors can range from mild to complete blindness, and may be permanent if not properly treated. Unfortunately, standard treatment with front line chemotherapy typically results in modest improvements or stabilization of their vision.
Using Medications
In their study published in JAMA Ophthalmology, Avery and his colleagues report on four children with optic pathway gliomas that demonstrated marked recovery of vision when treated with the medication Bevacizumab. Other Children's National researchers included Roger J. Packer, MD, Senior VP of the Center for Neurosciences and Behavioral Medicine, and Eugene I. Hwang, MD, a neuro-oncologist.
Bevacizumab is an angiogenesis inhibitor, a drug that slows the growth of new blood vessels, to treat various cancers.
Bevacizumab provides a fast, robust response in these children," Avery told Reuters Health. "Although it's not first-line treatment, Bevacizumab is a good alternative or adjunct treatment."
Dr. Avery and colleagues identified children who had recovery of visual acuity or visual field in treatment with Bevacizumab.
A nine-year-old girl's visual acuity improved from 20/400 to 20/100 within six weeks of Bevacizumab treatment and remained stable for nine months after the treatment was discontinued, Avery wrote. Her visual field improved after two months of Bevacizumab monotherapy and her visual acuity returned to normal after four months of therapy. It remained stable at 12 months.
The standard front line treatment using cardioplatin-based chemotherapy typically produces only a modest benefit in visual acuity, Avery says.
"Given that most patients with OPG-related visual impairment will show modest or no visual improvement with standard treatment, the incorporation of Bevacizumab in these cases may greatly improve visual outcomes and should be considered in appropriate clinical situations," Avery says.
Handheld Technology
In another study in JAMA Ophthalmology Avery and other researchers found that using innovative technology, such as handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT), may help physicians improve their ability to evaluate children with optic pathway gliomas by capturing three-dimensional ultrahigh resolution (e.g., 3 microns…..one-half the width of a red-blood cell) images or their retinal axons. Avery's study was also reported in Reuters Health.
In that study, the other Children's National researchers included Packer, Hwang, Maria T. Acosta, MD, in neurology, Domiciano Jerry Santos, MD, in anesthesiology, sedation, and perioperative medicine, Dina J. Zand, MD, PhD, in the genetics program, Lindsay B. Kilburn, MD, in neuro-oncology, Kenneth N. Rosenbaum, MD, in genetics and metabolism, and Brian R. Rood, MD, clinical director of the neuro-oncology program.
In very young children with these tumors, it may be difficult to measure visual acuity especially if they have cognitive or behavioral difficulties. "The handheld OCT provides a safe, non-contact, and objective measure of visual pathway integrity that does not rely on a child's cooperation," Avery says.
"We hope that our handheld OCT measures will someday improve our ability to detect and monitor tumor progression that cannot be discovered during a routine eye exam or MRI scan," Avery adds.

Section 30
XXX Yudhishthira said, I have heard this great narrative, O perpetuator of Kuru's race. Thou, O foremost of eloquent men, hast said that the status of a Brahmana is exceedingly difficult of acquisition. It is heard, however, that in former times the status of a Brahmana had been acquired by Viswamitra. Thou, however, O best of men, tellest us that status is incapable of being acquired. I have also heard that king Vitahavya in ancient times succeeded in obtaining the status of a Brahmana. I desire to hear, O puissant son of Ganga, the story of Vitahavya's promotion. By what acts did that best of kings succeed in acquiring the status of a Brahmana? Was it through some boon obtained from some one of great puissance or was it through the virtue of penances? It behoveth thee to tell me everything' Bhishma said, Hear, O monarch, how the royal sage Vitahavya of great celebrity succeeded in ancient times in acquiring the status of a Brahmana that is so difficult to attain and that is held in such high reverence by all the world.
While the high-souled Manu in days of yore was employed in righteously ruling his subjects, he obtained a son of righteous soul who became celebrated under the name of Saryati. In Saryati's, race, O monarch, two kings took their birth, viz, Haihaya and Talajangha. Both of them were sons of Vatsa, O foremost of victorious kings. Haihaya, O monarch, had ten wives. Upon them he begot, O Bharata, a century of sons all of whom were highly inclined to fighting. All of them resembled one another in features and prowess. All of them were endued with great strength and all of them were possessed of great skill in battle. They all studied the Vedas and the science of weapons thoroughly. In Kasi also, O monarch, there was a king who was the grandfather of Divodasa. The foremost of victorious men, he was known by the name of Haryyaswa.
The sons of king Haihaya, O chief of men who was otherwise known by the name of Vitahavya, invaded the kingdom of Kasi and advancing to the country that lies between the rivers Ganga and Yamuna, fought a battle with king Haryyaswa and also slew him in it. Having slain king Haryyaswa in this way, the sons of Haihaya, those great car-warriors, fearlessly went back to their own delightful city in the country of the Vatsas. Meanwhile Haryyaswa's son Sudeva, who looked like a deity in splendour and who was a second god of righteousness, was installed on the throne of Kasi as its ruler. The delighter of Kasi, that righteous-souled prince ruled his kingdom for sometime, when the hundred sons of Vitahavya once more invaded his dominions and defeated him in battle. Having vanquished king Sudeva thus, the victors returned to their own city. After that Divodasa, the son of Sudeva, became installed on the throne of Kasi as its ruler. Realising the prowess of those high-souled princes, viz, the sons of Vitahavya, king Divodasa, endued with great energy, rebuilt and fortified the city of Baranasi at the command of Indra. The territories of Divodasa were full of Brahmanas and Kshatriyas, and abounded with Vaisyas and Sudras. And they teemed with articles and provisions of every kind, and were adorned with shops and marts swelling with prosperity. Those territories, O best of kings, stretched northwards from the banks of Ganga to the southern banks of Gomati, and resembled a second Amravati the city of Indra.
The Haihayas once again, O Bharata, attacked that tiger among kings, as he ruled his kingdom. The mighty king Divodasa endued with great splendour, issuing out of his capital, gave them battle. The engagement between the two parties proved so fierce as to resemble the encounter in days of old between the deities and the Asuras. King Divodasa fought the enemy for a thousand days at the end of which, having lost a number of followers and animals, he became exceedingly distressed King Divodasa, O monarch, having lost his army and seeing his treasury exhausted, left his capital and fled away. Repairing to the delightful retreat of Bhardwaja endued with great wisdom the king, O chastiser of foes joining his hands in reverence, sought the Rishi's protection. Beholding King Divodasa before him, the eldest son of Vrihaspati, viz, Bharadwaja of excellent conduct, who was the monarch's priest, said unto him, What is the reason of thy coming here? Tell me everything, O king. I shall do that which is agreeable to thee, without any scruple' The king said, O holy one, the sons of Vitahavya have slain all the children and men of my house.
I only have escaped with life, totally discomfited by the foe. I seek thy protection. It behoveth thee, O holy one, to protect me with such affection as thou hast for a disciple. Those princes of sinful deeds have slaughtered my whole race, leaving myself only alive' Bhishma continued, Unto him who pleaded so piteously, Bharadwaja of great energy said, Do not fear! Do not fear! O son of Sudeva, let thy fears be dispelled. I shall perform a sacrifice, O monarch, in order that thou mayst have a son through whom thou shalt be able to smite thousands upon thousands of Vitahavya's party. After this, the Rishi performed a sacrifice with the object of bestowing a son on Divodasa. As the result thereof, unto Divodasa was born a son named Pratarddana.
Immediately on his birth he grew up like a boy of full three and ten years and quickly mastered the entire Vedas and the whole of arms. Aided by his Yoga powers, Bharadwaja of great intelligence had entered into the prince. Indeed, collecting all the energy that occurs in the object of the universe, Bharadwaja put them together in the body of prince Pratarddana. Put on shining mail on his person and armed with the bow, Pratarddana, his praises sung by bards and the celestial Rishis, shone resplendent like the risen star of day. Mounted on his car and with the scimitar tied to his belt, he shone like a blazing fire. With scimitar and shield and whirling his shield as he went, he proceeded to the presence of his sire. Beholding the prince, the son of Sudeva, viz, king Divodasa, became filled with joy. Indeed, the old king thought the sons of his enemy Vitahavya as already slain. Divodasa then installed his son Pratarddana as Yuvaraja, and regarding himself crowned with success became exceedingly happy. After this, the old king commanded that chastiser of foes, viz, prince Pratarddana to march against the sons of Vitahavya and slay them in battle.
Endued with great powers. Pratarddana, that subjugator of hostile cities speedily crossed Ganga on his car and proceeded against the city of the Vitahavyas. Hearing the clatter produced by the wheels of his car, the sons of Vitahavya, riding on their own cars that looked like fortified citadels and that were capable of destroying hostile vehicles, issued out of their city. Issuing out of their capital, those tigers among men, viz, the sons of Vitahavya, who were all skilful warriors cased in mail, rushed with uplifted weapons towards Pratarddana, covering him with showers of arrows. Encompassing him with innumerable cars, O Yudhisthira, the Vitahavyas poured upon Pratarddana showers of weapons of various kinds like clouds pouring torrents of rain on the breast of Himavat. Baffling their weapons with his own, prince Pratarddana endued with mighty energy slew them all with his shafts that resembled the lighting fire of Indra. Their heads struck off, O king, with hundreds and thousands of broad-headed arrows, the warriors of Vitahavya fell down with blood-dyed bodies like Kinsuka trees felled by woodmen with their axes on every side. After all his warriors and sons had fallen in battle, king Vitahavya fled away from his capital to the retreat of Bhrigu. Indeed, arrived there, the royal fugitive sought the protection of Bhrigu. The Rishi Bhrigu, O monarch, assured the defeated king of his protection.
Pratarddana followed in the footsteps of Vitahavya. Arrived at the Rishi's retreat, the son of Divodasa said in a loud voice, Ho, listen ye disciples of the high souled Bhrigu that may happen to be present, I wish to see the sage. Go and inform him of this. Recognising that it was Pratarddana who had come, the Rishi Bhrigu himself came out of his retreat and worshipped that best of kings according to due rites. Addressing him then, the Rishi said, Tell me, O king, what is thy business. The king, at this, informed the Rishi of the reason of his presence' The king said, King Vitahavya has come here, O Brahmana. Do thou give him up. His sons, O Brahmana, had destroyed my race.
They had laid waste the territories and the wealth of the kingdom of Kasi. Hundred sons, however, of this king proud of his might, have all been slain by me. By slaying that king himself I shall today pay off the debt I owe to my father. Unto him that foremost of righteous men, viz, the Rishi Bhrigu, penetrated with compassion, replied by saying, There is no Kshatriya in this retreat. They that are here are all Brahmanas. Hearing these words of Bhrigu that must accord he thought with truth, Pratarddana touched the Rishi's feet slowly and, filled with delight, said, By this, O holy one, I am without doubt, crowned with success, since this king becomes abandoned by the very order of his birth in consequence of my prowess. Give me thy permission, O Brahmana, to leave thee, and let me solicit thee to pray for my welfare. This king, O founder of the race that goes by the name, has been compelled to leave of the very community of his birth, in consequence of my might. Dismissed by the Rishi Bhrigu, king Pratarddana then departed from that retreat, having even as a snake vomits forth its real poison and repaired to the place he had come from. Meanwhile, king Vitahavya attained to the status of a Brahmana sage by virtue of the words only of Bhrigu.
And he acquired also a complete mastery over all the Vedas through the same cause. Vitahavya had a son named Gritsamada who in beauty of person was a second Indra. Once on a time the Daityas afflicted him much, believing him to be none else than Indra. With regard to that high-souled Rishi, one foremost of Srutis in the Richs goes like this viz, He with whom Gritsamada stays, O Brahmana, is held in high respect by all Brahmanas. Endued with great intelligence, Gritsamada become a regenerate Rishi in the observance of Brahmacharyya. Gritsamada had a regenerate son of the name of Sutejas. Sutejas had a son of the name of Varchas, and the son of Varchas was known by the name of Vihavya. Vihavya had a son of his loins who was named Vitatya and Vitatya had a son of name Satya. Satya had a son of name Santa. Santa had a son, viz, the Rishi Sravas.
Sravas begot a son named Tama. Tama begot a son named Prakasa, who was a very superior Brahmana. Prakasa had a son named Vagindra who was the foremost of all silent reciters of sacred Mantras. Vagindra begot a son named Pramati who was a complete master of all the Vedas and their branches. Pramati begot upon the Apsara Ghritachi a son who was named Ruru. Ruru begot a son upon his spouse Pramadvara. That son was the regenerate Rishi Sunaka. Sunaka begot a son who is named Saunaka. It was even thus, O foremost of monarchs, that king Vitahavya, though a Kshatriya by the order of his birth, obtained the status of a Brahmana, O chief of Kshatriyas, through the grace of Bhrigu. I have also told thee the genealogy of the race that sprung from Gritsamada.

Данная новость не доступна на выбранном Вами языке.
At the 2014 GaLaBau trade fair, Liebherr is presenting the crawler excavator R 914 Compact, which supplements the product program of compact crawler excavators. The compact excavator was first presented at the 2013 Bauma trade fair in Munich (Germany). The design of this 15 tonne machine is based on the same concept as the A 914 Compact and A 918 Compact wheeled excavators that have already achieved market success.
With its 80 kW (109 hp) Deutz diesel engine, the R 914 Compact complies with the Stage IIIB exhaust emission limits without needing a diesel particulate filter. The maintenance-free oxidating catalytic converter not only reduces emissions but keeps operating costs low as well. A particulate filter is available ex-factory as an option. This engine makes efficient use of fuel and develops ample torque. Its maximum power output is available at a low engine speed, so that loads on components are lower with no sacrifice in performance.
The dimensions of the R 914 Compact permit a tail swing radius of only 1,550 millimetres. Thanks to its high grabbing force and general performance level, this is the ideal machine for landscaping, road works, drainage and all construction-site work that has to be carried out within a limited space.
Innovative servicing concept
The R 914 Compact has a large engine cover that exposes the entire right-hand side of the machine and ensures quick, convenient access to all servicing points. Since daily maintenance work can be performed from ground level, maintenance times are shorter and the work becomes safer.
The fully-automatic central lubricating system is part of the servicing concept; it supplies the various lubricating points while the machine is in operation. To simplify cleaning of the radiator, which is of generous size, the powerful cooling fan can be swung forward after two bolts have been unscrewed. Another standard feature is a magnetic rod in the hydraulic fluid tank; it is easy to clean when necessary, prolongs the useful life of the hydraulic fluid and acts as a reliable indicator that servicing is due.
Strong undercarriage, many different equipment options
For the undercarriage of the R 914 Compact, which has a track width of 2,000 mm and a wheelbase of 3,000 mm, steel track pads are available in 500 mm, 600 mm and 700 mm widths. For easily damaged sub-surfaces or when working on asphalt or concrete surfaces, 500 mm wide rubber-coated track pads can be supplied for the standard steel tracks. Attaching them instead of using rubber tracks keeps operating costs low, since these track pads can be easily be replaced individually during servicing work.
To increase load capacity and when grading work is carried out, the undercarriage of the R 914 Compact can be equipped with a strong, solid blade; this includes standard load retaining valves. This blade is absolutely maintenance-free and needs no lubrication.
The choice of working equipment for the R 914 Compact includes a luffing boom, a boom that can be repositioned laterally and either standard or lateral-shift gooseneck booms. From the four dipper arm lengths – 2.05 m, 2.25 m, 2.45 m or 2.65 m – the most suitable combination of outreach and tearout force can be found.
With the fully-automatic LIKUFIX quick-change system, only a few seconds are needed to detach or attach mechanical and hydraulic add-on tools, without having to leave the cab. When used with working attachments from the successful Liebherr programme, this system can boost productivity by as much as 30 %. Tool Control, another optional system, permits oil pressure and oil content data for up to ten attachments to be memorised, so that the hydraulic attachment can operate at its full rated value immediately it has been picked up.
Well-equipped cab for fatigue-free work
The cab for the R 914 Compact is a new development, the largest in this machine category; it offers the driver the high standard of comfort and convenience needed for concentration on the task in hand and reduced fatigue. The standard seat is air sprung and heated, with height and seat cushion angle adjustment, a lumbar support, a head restraint and a lap-type seat belt. The ergonomically designed control panels move with the seat armrests.
The ergonomically correct keypad and the display with touch-screen function make it easy for the driver to select or vary essential operating functions. The large-area windows enhance all-round visibility and are therefore a major safety feature. Fully-automatic air conditioning is a standard item, and keeps the cab at precisely the selected temperature. Also standard: the camera which scans the area behind the excavator; an optional side camera makes a worthwhile contribution to safety, especially where space to manoeuvre is limited.
On the new R 914 Compact, the superstructure is locked into position for transport by means of the integral slewing gear brake. The settings of the complete hydraulic system have been revised to permit even more sensitive control.

A self-erasing chip for security and anti-counterfeit tech.
Self-erasing chips developed at the University of Michigan could help stop counterfeit electronics or provide alerts if sensitive shipments are tampered with. They rely on a new material that temporarily stores energy, changing the color of the light it emits. It self-erases in a matter of days, or it can be erased on demand with a flash of blue light.
"It's very hard to detect whether a device has been tampered with. It may operate normally, but it may be doing more than it should, sending information to a third party," said Parag Deotare, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science.
With a self-erasing barcode printed on the chip inside the device, the owner could get a hint if someone had opened it to secretly install a listening device. Or a barcode could be written and placed on integrated circuit chips or circuit boards, for instance, to prove that they hadn't been opened or replaced on their journeys. Likewise, if the lifespan of the barcodes was extended, they could be written into devices as hardware analogues of software authorization keys.
The self-erasing chips are built from a three-atom-thick layer of semiconductor laid atop a thin film of molecules based on azobenzenes—a kind of molecule that shrinks in reaction to UV light. Those molecules tug on the semiconductor in turn, causing it to emit slightly longer wavelengths of light.
To read the message, you have to be looking at it with the right kind of light. Che-Hsuan Cheng, a PhD student in materials science and engineering in Deotare's group and the first author on the paper in Advanced Optical Materials, is most interested in its application as self-erasing invisible ink for sending secret messages.
The stretched azobenzene naturally gives up its stored energy over the course of about seven days in the dark—a time that can be shortened with exposure to heat and light, or lengthened if stored in a cold, dark place. Whatever was written on the chip, be it an authentication barcode or a secret message, would disappear when the azobenzene stopped stretching the semiconductor. Alternatively, it can be erased all at once with a flash of blue light. Once erased, the chip can record a new message or barcode.
The semiconductor itself is a "beyond graphene" material, said Deotare, as it has many similarities with the Nobel-Prize-winning nanomaterial. But it can also do something graphene can't: It emits light in particular frequencies.
The research team included the group of Jinsang Kim, a professor of materials science and engineering. Da Seul Yang, a PhD student in macromolecular science and engineering, designed and made the molecules. Cheng then floated a single layer of the molecules on water and dipped a silicon wafer into the water to coat it with the molecules.
Then, the chip went to Deotare's lab to be layered with the semiconductor. Using the "Scotch tape" method, Cheng essentially put sticky tape on a chunk of the semiconductor, tungsten diselenide, and used it to draw off single layers of the material: a sandwich of a single layer of tungsten atoms between two layers of selenium atoms. He used a kind of stamp to transfer the semiconductor onto the azobenzene-coated chip.
Next steps for the research include extending the amount of time that the material can keep the message intact for use as an anti-counterfeit measure.
The paper is titled, "Self-erasable and rewritable optoexcitonic platform for anti-tamper hardware."
The research is funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Kim is also a professor of chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, macromolecular science and engineering, and chemistry.
The University of Michigan has applied for patent protection and is seeking commercial partners to help bring the technology to market.

Upcoming Jethro Tull Book Will Include New Recorded Material
The Ballad of Jethro Tull, a new book chronicling the band's 50-year history, will be released in November. Frontman Ian Anderson has confirmed it will include new recorded material.
Word about The Ballad of Jethro Tull first broke last October. At the time, Anderson described the project as "the definitive Jethro Tull story – as told by Jethro Tull." He took to YouTube to announce release details, while also giving fans insight on what to expect (see below).
Author Mark Blake pulled together the words, with Anderson overseeing every aspect of its completion. Current and former members of the band also contributed to the book, which will feature personal stories, previously unseen photos, original press clippings and album artwork.
The Ballad of Jethro Tull is expected in November, though a specific release date has yet to be finalized. Two editions of the book will be made: the "Classic" version and the "Signature Edition," which will be limited to just 500 copies.
The "Signature Edition" features a new Jethro Tull 7" single, with material recorded specifically for the project. Its A-side contains a narrative poem written and read by Anderson called The Ballad of Jethro Tull, accompanied by "a unique and original mix of classic Tull music."
The B-side will feature Anderson reading Walter Scott's 1808 poem Marmion, with musical backing composed and performed by Jethro Tull band member John O'Hara on a cathedral organ.
Even though the new material will not come in physical form on the "Classic" edition, accompanying download codes will allow buyers to access both recordings.
Fans can pre-order the book now at the band's website. Meanwhile, Jethro Tull continue to tour in celebration of their 50th anniversary. Upcoming performances take the band throughout Europe and North American, with dates scheduled through the end of 2019.

John Calvin is one of the church's greatest theologians, and Calvinism one of the Western world's most influential intellectual movements. Calvin was a theologian, pastor, biblical exegete, and tireless apologist for Reformed Christianity. His theological works, biblical commentaries, tracts, treatises, and letters helped establish the Reformation as a legitimate and thriving religious movement throughout Europe and the world.
No theologian has been acclaimed or assailed as much as Calvin. Calvinism has spawned movements and sparked controversy throughout the centuries. Wars have been fought both to defend and destroy it, and its later proponents began political and theological revolutions in Western Europe and America. The breadth and depth of the engagement with Calvin's works since they first appeared four centuries ago—and their continuous publication since then—testifies to Calvin's importance and lasting value for the church today. Thinking Christians from the twenty-first century who ignore Calvin's writings do so at their own peril.
To celebrate Calvin's birthday and his importance for the church today, we launched the Calvin 500 Collection—a massive project to convert 108 books by or about Calvin to our format. The Calvin 500 Collection includes:
- 3 English translations of Calvin's Institutes—including the rare Thomas Norton translation
- Latin and French editions of Calvin's Institutes
- Complete set of Calvin's commentaries
- Four volumes of Calvin's letters and correspondence
- Dozens of tracts and theological treatises written by Calvin
- Ten biographies of Calvin's life and work
- 31 volumes of secondary literature on the history and influence of Calvinism
We hoped to complete the project during 2009 (before Calvin turned 501), but it didn't happen. Some of the texts, like the Norton translation of the Institutes—the first in the English language—took longer than we planned. We also ran into some problems with the commentaries which needed some special attention.
But the biggest delay happened when we launched Logos 4 in November. In the weeks before the launch, all efforts were devoted to making sure it happened as smoothly as possible—finishing all new books for the expanded Logos 4 base packages, working with our beta testers, building the new Logos iPhone app, training our customer service department and sales teams, and hundreds (thousands?) of other behind-the-scenes projects.
We've been busy since the release, too. We've been reading the emails you've sent us, talking to you on the phone, closely watching the Community Forums, listening to customer feedback, creating training videos and support pages, and doing everything we can to make Logos 4 even better. Since the launch, we've released a major update to Logos 4, with tons of new features. We've been updating the Mac version just about every week. And we just came out with a brand new update to the Logos iPhone app which now allows offline reading on your iPod Touch or on the iPhone when you're in an airplane. Oh, and did we mention there are 1,000 more books available for reading on your iPhone than there were a month ago? These are just a handful of great reasons to upgrade today—and until the end of next week, you can still get 25% off when you upgrade to Logos 4.
So you can see why the Calvin 500 Collection wasn't finished by the end of 2009.
Fortunately, even though it's 2010 now, John Calvin is still 500 years old. He doesn't turn 501 years old until July 10, 2010, and by then, you'll be using Logos Bible Software to read all of Calvin's commentaries, books, and theological works.
In fact, you'll be reading the new Calvin books much sooner than July. We are very, very close to finishing the project. Although we are not quite ready to project a ship date, we can promise that it will be soon.
One last thing, the Pre-Pub price for the Calvin 500 Collection will go up on Friday, which means you still have four more days to lock your order in the current price. If you're thinking of pre-ordering, do it now before the price goes up.

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

updated Whenever it makes sense, I try to use emacs for my computer-based activities; surely, programs like The Gimp or a graphical web browser cannot yet be replace by emacs, but I'm making progress. I like the ways emacs gives me to automate and speed-up my tasks; I get some return-on-time-investment.
2010 or not, I still spend quite a bit of time on the console. So why not do that from within emacs? There different ways to run shells within emacs.
The simplest one is shell
(i.e,, M-x shell
), which starts a simple shell,
which does not support which does not support 'graphical' console applications,
such as mutt
, mc
, htop
Then there are term
and ansi-term
(M-x ansi-term
) that do support such
applications, which ansi-term
supporting colors as well (it seems to have
become the default for term
in recent emacs versions).
Another one is the nifty EShell (included with emacs), which is not just a
(simple) terminal, but also a full shell environment, and has integration with
other things in emacs. It's nice, but has some of the limitations that shell
has - you cannot run 'graphical' applications; also, I don't really need a
shell, as I am quite happy with zsh (zed shell) already, which is more
powerful, and I prefer a shell that works both inside and outside emacs.
For all these reasons, I am using MultiTerm, which has 'graphical' support that
has, but adds a nice extra, namely support for multiple terminals
within emacs. I'm not fully up to date with the exact difference in the terminal
support between the two, but I haven't had any problems so far.
You can install multi-term
(put it in your load-path
), and add the
following to your .emacs
(autoload 'multi-term "multi-term" nil t) (autoload 'multi-term-next "multi-term" nil t) (setq multi-term-program "/bin/bash") ;; use bash ;; (setq multi-term-program "/bin/zsh") ;; or use zsh... ;; only needed if you use autopair (add-hook 'term-mode-hook #'(lambda () (setq autopair-dont-activate t))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c t") 'multi-term-next) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c T") 'multi-term) ;; create a new one
With this, C-c t
will jump through your multi-term
buffers (create a new one
if it doesn not exist yet), while C-c T
unconditionally creates a new
