Are your laser diodes or laser-based products failing prematurely or mysteriously?
Do you believe the cause of the failure may be electrostatic discharge (ESD) or power
This web site presents information about protecting laser diodes from damage caused by ESD and power surges.
Although this web site converges on LASORB as a product designed specifically to protect laser diodes from ESD, it is the intention of this web site to serve as a definitive source of information about how ESD and power surges can dramatically decrease the lifetime of laser diodes, and how to help ensure their maximum lifetimes.
In fact there isn't much good information about this topic available on the internet today. Having done much research about this topic, we are happy to share our findings about ESD and laser diodes, and to present our solution for protecting laser diodes.

Creating gift wrap solutions while recycling is hitting
two birds with one stone. And I'm trying to hit as
many birds as I can!
Today, this is what I'm recycling:
An empty, blah oatmeal container.
Tada! It's now a unique gift box with a cover!
All I did was to wrap the cylinder in felt
(or use decorative paper) and attach
some embroidered "wishes".
Use it to package food gifts like cookies & bars
or even bags of tea or coffee, bottles of jam or
small jars of spices & sea salt.

David Davies is MP for Monmouth.
> Policy summary
All prisoners to serve in full the sentence handed down to them in the courts.
> Policy explanation
It is well known that few prisoners serve the sentences that they are given in court, but most people are unaware of how lenient the system actually is.
Most prisoners are automatically released half way through their sentences. Many are released on a tag prior to the half way point being reached. A criminal sentenced to four years imprisonment can be released after just over one year and seven months. A prisoner given a two year sentence may be released after just over seven months behind bars. Those who are not automatically released half way through their sentences will usually be successful in gaining early release by a parole board.
The term "life imprisonment" is completely meaningless. Over 50 prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment since 2000 have already been released. Some of these "lifers" served less than 18 months behind bars.
Under this
proposal all forms of early release would end. There would be no
automatic early release, no tagging, and the parole boards would be
disbanded. Prisoners would serve their sentences to the day.
> Political risks and opportunities
Risk: Prison discipline would deteriorate.
Response: Prison governors use a range of carrots and sticks to maintain discipline – moving prisoners between different prisons, on different regimes, and allocating better or worse jobs.
Risk: If judges know that sentences will be served in full they may simply compensate by reducing the sentence they give.
Response: This could happen but at least we the public would know exactly how sentencing operates and if sentences are too lenient the government of the day will be put under pressure to find ways of increasing them.
Opportunity: People are angry. In South Wales last month, a child rapist was released early from prison only to recommit the same offence. This policy would prevent many such offences from taking place, make our streets safer, deter habitual criminals and restore some much needed public confidence in our system of justice.
> Costs
The intention of this policy is to ensure that criminals spend longer in prison. In the short term there would be a significant cost. More prisons would need to be built, more prison staff taken on. It might be necessary to gain their support and cooperation by giving prison officers a rise in pay.
These costs will not be as high as they appear. By keeping people in prison large numbers of crimes will be prevented. There is a significant cost to investigating these crimes, bringing defendants to court and paying their legal fees. There is also a financial cost to the victims which is passed on to us all via the insurance companies. In addition it should be remembered that many prisoners, on leaving prison go straight on to benefits, therefore the real cost to the government of keeping people in prison is less than it first appears.
In the long term this policy could actually lead to a reduction in prison numbers and therefore costs. Sentences are so lenient at present that they offer no deterrent to hardened criminals. Increasing the length of sentences served could act as a deterrent and reduce the number of people willing to take the risk of committing crime.
However in thinking about financial costs we should also remember the cost in human misery paid by those many people, including young children, who have been raped murdered or seriously injured by criminals on early release from prison. We can prevent crimes like this from being carried out by prisoners on early release, and I would be happy to pay to do so.

lingered in office while impatient for action of hometown journey. the company, QRRS, tried to block my plan to equip baby son a new dell notebook for his games while his dad absent from him, by defying withdrawing in advance atop the rich&meaningful travel while i penniless now, likely retreated from the promise i gained in my first contact with a high rank of the company. dog system of China surveillance tried to ruin my joy of the journey, but they doomed to fail.
hopefully i will launch in the last day of April, as scheduled&granted by God. God, let me leaving with my acer notebook, and baby equipped with his new toy, a dell Studio 思跃™ 14 (Studio14D-158), a best gift from baby's American pre-engaged.
hope baby staying a happy life with all relaxation and business after the department while i enjoy sunburn in my hometown, central China. God, grant the glory and elation we deserve in this brave leaping operation.
chat continued with baby's mom, emakingir, via qq, a Chinese mainstream im yesterday.

but the gmail tell ur system's video chat unavailable.
6:01 PM so likely ur video system ill working.

So you have a Brother KH930 Knitting Machine that you have let the smoke out of, and now it wont turn on, beep, boot up, power up or respond to any hitting or cursing. As is commonly known, all electrical items actually run on smoke, once it comes out, the item will not work. 🙂 I found it was some small capacitors that released the smoke on this knitting machine.
My mother had collected this KH930 after it had stopped working, hoping I might be able to fix it. The previous owners had removed the needles for use as spares on other machines, that is why there are none in the photos. You do not have to remove the needles to perform this repair.
This fix may work for other models too, I would guess any that have the power lead that plugs directly into the side of the knitting machine. Not ones that use a "plug pack" or "power adapter". 230/240/250v AC models should be the same components, 110v I don't think would be the same value capacitors.
WARNING: Seek professional advice if unsure! 240v is dangerous.
Always unplug the knitting machine, or anything electrical for that matter, before opening! Switch it on and off (while unplugged) a couple of times to help discharge any electronic components that may hold a charge. Even though I had no issues with this repair, I will not be held responsible for any injuries sustained performing this repair.
Very basic soldering skills are all thats needed, and if you have never used a soldering iron before, it is quite easy to learn, just grab a cheap fine tipped soldering iron (under AU$10) and I think you will do OK! I will try to get a video online soon showing the basic skills required.
Each photo can be clicked on to enlarge, click the "BACK" button on your browser to return to the page.
We may as well go into the tools required for this particular job.
1. A fine tipped soldering iron suitable for electronics.
2. Some suitable solder (mine says 0.71mm diameter, 60% Tin, 40% Lead).
3. A Number 2 Phillips Head Screwdriver (maybe a smaller one too depending on your machine).
4. A small flat blade screwdriver.
5. Small sidecutters
6. Very narrow blade (optional)
7. Adjustable work holder (optional)
Step 1: Disassemble the Knitting Machine.
Carefully turn the machine over. At the end where the power lead plugs in you should see the 2 plastic rivets indicated. Carefully slip a fine blade under the edge and lever outward. The second shot shows how the plastic rivets work. The centre/cap slides out leaving a small hole in a smaller part of the rivet, remove the smaller part too. There is one to remove on the back of the machine also. 3 plastic rivets in total.
Next, flip the knitting machine back over to the correct side facing up and remove the 3 screws from the bed. Take note of which screws come from where, they are different! On the Brother KH930, the 2 in the main bed are countersunk, the one near the gate pegs is 'pan head'.
Slowly work the plastic end of the knitting machine apart from the metal bed. The power switch may want to stay behind, thats fine, it should wiggle free eventually, it is held back by the transformer inside.
Next, remove the screws holding the power socket in place. There is actually a metal plate around the back of the socket so as you unscrew, it sort of feels like the screw is just spinning because there is no outward pressure to push the screw out. You can see inside that unscrewing is pushing the metal backing plate backwards instead. Keep going until it is free of the screws.
Inside where the power cables go, there is a plastic retainer with two screws holding the cables in place, remove the screws to release the retainer and allow the circuit board to slide out of its little hidey hole. Take a mental note of which way up it fits in. Set the plastic case aside.
Now we can see the top of the circuit board. The fuse can be popped out (it was blown) and the capacitors were visibly damaged, one of them was split open. Luckily the details of the capacitors were still legible, take a photo or write down the details before touching them as they may turn to dust when touched and those seemingly random numbers and letters are very helpful! If you live near an electronics store, take the components with you once they are removed. Hopefully the sales people will know what to replace them with. The 2 capacitors and one fuse should cost you much less than AU$10. I got 5 of each for AU$15.
The Brother KH930 Knitting Machine I am working on used one 0.047uF 250V AC Mains, Metallised Polypropylene Capacitor, X2. One 0.1uF 250V AC Mains, Metallised Polypropylene Capacitor, X2. Oh, and one 500mA M205 Quick Blow Fuse, 5mm round x 20mm long.
The Soldering Stage
Plug in your soldering iron, the fun is about to start! Make sure it is away from anything that might melt or catch on fire, including children. As long as the tip stays up off the table by about 30mm, it should be fine. If you have a brand new soldering iron, touch some solder onto the tip until it melts and coats the tip a bit, this aids in the transfer of heat.
OK, locate the legs of the capacitors and turn the circuit board over, find the spot where each leg is soldered on the bottom. Mark with a permanent marker if you like, in case you get going and unsolder all the components 🙂
Carefully touch the tip of the iron onto the blob of solder holding one of the legs, at the same time rock the capacitor slightly back and forth with your other hand, with your third hand, try to push the flat screwdriver under the capacitor without scratching the circuit board! This is where I decided to use the adjustable job holder thingo. It can also be done without the screwdriver, but it does make it easier. With some careful levering, not scratching the board, the combination of rocking the capacitor and lightly pushing with the soldering iron, the offending leg should eventually pop free out the side where the capacitor is. Repeat for the other 3 legs.
Try not to overheat the board, the solder just has to be soft/liquified, not boiling.
If you have loads of solder on the iron tip, wiping quickly on a piece of paper or slightly damp sponge will remove it. You do want a thin coating of solder on the iron as this transfers heat better to the solder job.
The new capacitors I bought were slightly smaller width ways than the original, but there were extra holes on the circuit board for smaller caps! Fresh solder jobs require "tinning", this means applying a thin layer of solder onto each surface for ease of joining when the time comes. As you can see, the closer hole is copper coloured eg. no solder on it. Using the soldering iron tip, heat the copper surface and slowly feed the solder wire onto the copper, not the iron. The surface should get hot enough to melt the solder. By heating the job to melt the solder you ensure the solder is making excellent contact with the surface, otherwise the might be floating on the "flux", the liquid brown stuff that creates the smoke 🙂 (There is a more technical explaination…)
We also want to make sure the holes are free from solder, just use the tip of the iron and lightly sweep across the holes, removing excess solder from the iron each time, until the hole opens. You do not have to scratch away at the solder with the iron, it will just wipe away when hot, with the iron, don't touch it with your fingers!
Insert your new capacitors into the relevant locations (the 0.047uF into C602, 0.1uF into the top spot).
Bending the legs outward slightly holds them in position for soldering, do not cut the legs shorter just yet.
Solder the legs in place by heating the leg, down near the joint, with the tip of the iron. The capacitors I got were pre-tinned, so I required very little extra solder to make the join.
You may have to feed a little of the solder along the leg (while the iron is making the leg hot) so it creates a small mound up the leg. A good solder joint is pointy like a volcano rather than rounded like half a ball.
Give your freshly soldered legs 10 to 30 seconds to cool, then trim them off with some sidecutters. The less sharp leg sticking out, the better, although its not critical.
Thats it! Snap your new fuse in and you are finished! Easy! You can now do the reverse of the Disassemble a Knitting Machine to put it back together. I like to test things before they go back together, but if you accidently touch something while the power is plugged in you could be in for a nasty shock, or your family will be… Put it back together first!
I don't believe it, I fixed a knitting machine!
Once everything is screwed together and plastic rivets are pressed back in, plug it in and turn it on! If more smoke comes out, or it still doesn't work, start from the top and see if the fuse is blown, there may be something more serious wrong with your knitting machine… sorry about that!
Please feel free to leave a comment or ask a question about the above procedure! Thanks for reading!

I think that it is appropriate that we keep things in perspective when it comes to thinking about the November attacks in Paris.
Yes, they are horrible and a real tragedy, both for France and for those involved, but despite their best efforts, the attackers managed a death toll that equals about two weeks of fatalities on France's roads.
Symbol of Life with French Flag Overlay Courtesy of Facebook.
3250 people died on France's roads in 2013, but nobody batted an eyelid. A curfew wasn't imposed, French people weren't advised to remain indoors (or stop driving cars), and the country's borders weren't closed.
The difference of course, is that we have evolved to seek out meaningful, yet unfamiliar cues, perhaps because these are likely to be augurs of change and disruption. When we see something like the French attacks, we are drawn to them, like moths to a flame and if we aren't careful, we risk getting burnt.
But there is more to it than that. As of today, there have been a reported 129 deaths (although this will surely rise, as some of those who survived succumb to their injuries), but a little over a month ago, 99 people died in the Ankara bombings in Turkey. I doubt many people in the West, even noticed. Similarly, on August 14, 2013, the Egyptian security forces massacred at least 817 (and likely more than 1,000) protesters in Rabaa Square.
These victims didn't warrant a Facebook filter and their deaths seemed to be regarded by Westerners as "business as usual", rather than tragedies for those countries.
Our responses to these attacks say something significant about ourselves and the comparative value that we place on the lives of people from a Christian, European country, compared to those who are "over there" and separated from us by culture, history and religion.
Perhaps one could say, "out of mind, out of sight".
Irrespective of this, by giving ourselves over to histrionics and fear, we are allowing 8 or so Parisian terrorists to achieve exactly what they wanted: To instill fear and to force us into rash and self-destructive behaviours, such as the knee jerk rush to drop yet more bombs on the Middle East, despite the fact that yet more death will most likely only feed the narrative that sustains the toxic ideology behind these attacks.
Rather, we should recognise that while ISIS has claimed responsibility for this attack, the attackers (with the probable exception of one who was found with a forged Syrian passport) they appear to be French (or perhaps Belgian) nationals and as such are perhaps more indicative of French policy towards its Muslim minority, rather than any threat posed by ISIS to the West.
While 10% of French people are Muslim, French policy towards its Muslim population has been less than stellar, with many living in virtual slums, known as banlieues, where they are marginalised and face significant barriers to both education and employment. Despite its famous revolution of 1789, France is still run by an entrenched elite, with graduates from its Grandes écoles (Grand Schools), finding an easy path to the heights of political and civil service. Needless to say, the children of blue-collar workers, or minorities are very poorly represented within these schools.
Of course, I don't say this to provide some sort of excuse for the terrorists. What they did was abhorrent and repulsive and if there is any justice in the Infiniverse, they will answer for their actions. But if we are ever going to be able to succeed in ending these sort of attacks, we need to understand the context in which they arise, lest, in our ignorance, we become their enablers.
To conflate these terrorists with Muslims as a whole, or Syrian refugees specifically (as has been done in the US presidential campaign, where Republican candidates have been quick to call for the complete exclusion of Syrian refugees from the US), is to create yet another divide between "Us" and "Them" that will only perpetuate everyone's misery.
Indeed, Muslims are just as horrified by these attacks as anyone else. Waleed Aly, an Australian Muslim academic and media presenter, put it extraordinarily well when in a segment on The Project, when he said:
"We are all feeling a million raging emotions right now. I am angry at these terrorists. I am sickened by the violence and I am crushed for the families that have been left behind, but, you know what, I will not be manipulated.
"We all need to come together. I know how that sounds. I know it is a cliche, but it is also true because it is exactly what ISIL doesn't want."
Certainly, there are problems within modern Islam, just as there have historically been problems within all religions. But this does not mean that there is a problem within every Muslim.
So, rather than focusing on "Islam", "Christianity", "Buddhism", "Atheism", or whatever, I would suggest that instead, we focus on the choice between "Light" and "Dark".
Light represents the forces of creation, growth, love, compassion, hope, optimism, honesty and forgiveness (among others). Darkness represents death, greed, selfishness, power, lies, destruction and the very negation of existence (among others).
One is Life affirming, the other is Life denying and although they exist in opposition, their relationship to each other and ourselves is far more complex than it might initially appear and these terms are not necessarily synonymous with "good" and "evil".
Once we start to think in this way and assuming that we are not entirely blinkered, we can see that both Light and Dark exist not only within every society, but within every person. Once we understand this, we can more easily recognise that each of us have a choice, but that our choice isn't about what we believe, but about whether we choose the path of Light, the path of Darkness, or decide to fluff about in the middle.
Most of us (including those terrorists) mindlessly believe that we have chosen the path of Light, but such a commitment requires that we be perfectly honest with ourselves about our own failures and the Darkness within. Failure to engage honestly with our own weakness, temptation and failure will lead us into Darkness because dishonesty and lies are by definition, the negation of truth.
Honesty also requires that we admit that while we may have chosen the path of Light, none on this planet (without exception!) are, or ever have been, worthy of claiming to be Beings, or Avatars of Light. Whether we talk about, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, all the prophets, saints, or ourselves, we are all flawed and in committing to a path, we are merely starting on our journey, not arriving at our destination. Thinking otherwise is hubris.
Having made a commitment to Light, we are now in a position to reach out to others who have chosen our path, rather than blindly including, or excluding people simply because of what they profess to believe. Similarly, by committing ourselves to a path of Light, we can understand that what we happen to believe about the nature of the Divine is less important than how we chose to act and behave towards others.
Frankly, beliefs are only important to the extent that they drive behaviour. It matters little if one believes in a god, gods, or no god. What's important is how we act towards others and whether we leave a trail of healing, or disaster in our wake. Do we build, or do we destroy? Do we forgive, or do we hold onto every grievance? Do we give generously, or do we take selfishly? Do we make war, or do we make peace?
By focusing on a paradigm of Light and Darkness (notice I say "Light and Darkness", not "Light vs Darkness" – for reasons I will tackle in a later blog post) we can circumvent the silliness of painting particular groups (who are inevitably outsiders) as being somehow inherently "evil", while others (ie. US!) are necessarily "good". Instead of mindless stereotypes we can acknowledge that just because others are different from us, or don't share our values, it does not therefore follow that they are bad.
In doing so, we can open our hearts and minds to the truth that while we are all different in many ways, we share a common humanity. It is this sense of shared humanity that will allow us to reach out to others and embrace them with their differences, so that we may survive and prosper in a world in which we are sorely tempted to cleave to our own and turn our faces away from the suffering of those outside our tribe, while arrogantly ignoring the festering Darkness within.

Actually, no. It's a WHAM question, and in WHAM there are two WHAM_roundcost variables you'll want to look into - WHAM_roundcost_aftercore and WHAM_roundcost_ronin. How much meat is it worth to you to skip a round of combat when farming in aftercore? What about in a HC or pre-break SC run? If you are spending more time in stasis than you'd like, just raise the values in your vars_<name>.txt file, either by editing it with a text editor or by using zlib to reconfigure it. Tweak until you like your results.

Happy New Year! I haven't checked your blog lately, so I just discovered that you were in Wisconsin for Christmas. Bummer that I didn't get to meet you. We could have "done lunch" or something. LOL Anyway--I think you are crazy for coming to this "Godforsaken Place" (those are my own words for WI) in the winter. I would do just about anything to get the heck out of here during the winter! However, if I ever move south, I will have to come hear for vacation to see family so. . .I'm out of luck either way. :-)

That has got to be the most wicked awesome thing ever. I want that for my neighborhood. I do. I really really do. I'm not exactly sure what is meant by "woes"? Are they cleansing their woes for the New Year? Anyway, it's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

For some reason it's only really hit me now how much of a change you're going to have Jorge at the end of Lost. It must be a hard life in many ways, to be involved in a TV show and then when it finishes to have to up sticks as well as secure new employment, and then have to do it all over again possibly next time.
At least you seem to be making the most of it, and that's the important bit :)
Happy New Year to you, Beth and Nunu. May it be more than you could ever hope for.
God bless

Enjoyed the picture of the New Year's parade. They have a Mummers parade every year in Philadelphia which is kind of cool. I've never been, just watched it on TV. So are you moving from Hawaii after this season? That's sad.

Wow, a neat parade, and a very nice car! I guess that you have to have a treasure chest for a trunk if the car has a rumble seat in the back?
Thanks for another year of sharing with us your funny way of looking at life! It's much appreciated.

Dude I didn't know you had a blog!! I am a huge fan of both you and LOST. You're an excellent actor and your outreach to fan efforts such as Jay and Jack is cool.
I'm not sure if you read these, but I had a question. My friend (another LOST fanatic) and I are going to Hawaii on Tuesday to check out all the locations and stuff before the final season starts. Our schedule so far is cool, thanks to lostvirtualtour, but we were wondering if you know about any "must see" places in Oahu (LOST-related or not).
Otherwise, it seems like you've had a great new year.
I look forward to watching the final season of LOST!! - January 2, 2010 at 12:53 AM

Wow that is the coolest. I would have gone if I had known. I live in Mililani and to me it was the coolest thing to see that people here spend thousands of dollars on fireworks and then light them off for 6 straight hours...best show I've ever seen. New Year's Eve Hawaiian style, I was told. Nobody had time to get drunk because they were all to busy lighting more fireworks.

Here's a completely unnecessary and random comment... but you wrote "lanaikai" and there's a big hotel on the barrier island in Florida where I grew up called "Lanai Kai" - I guess after30-some years of life I have finally realized that it's not an original name.

2019-07-26: This time last month, in June … I was visiting a hot and humid Hong Kong and Macau, only 1 hour apart on a sea ferry, in China's Bay Area … to make a Keynote CPD Presentation on Fire Safety for All – Nobody Left Behind ! in the Hong Kong Institute of Architects … and following that up with a full morning Workshop and an afternoon Plenary Presentation at the large 2019 Rehabilitation International Asia-Pacific Region Conference, in Macau, later in the week.
2019 Rehabilitation International Asia-Pacific Conference (Macau) – 26 to 28 June
The Theme of this 3-Day Conference, in #Macau, was Together, Leaving No One Behind, In Disability-Inclusive & Rights-Based Progress. Attended by 1,500 delegates from 30 different countries, the event also gathered together more than 250 international experts, practitioners, academics and researchers from all over the world.
Two Exhibitions, visited by 6,000 people, were organized alongside the Conference: 1) 'Facilitation and Mobility Aids + Assistive Technologies' … and 2) 'Art'.
It is worthwhile noting that #China ratified the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#CRPD) on 1 August 2008 … but has not yet signed, never mind ratified, the Convention's Optional Protocol … a clear signal of current political intent which, hopefully, will change in the not-too-distant future. Every year, Hong Kong and Macau submit reports to Beijing regarding CRPD compliance status and implementation.
Without being able to use a #Lift/#Elevator for Fire Evacuation in a building … there is No Fire Safety for All !
In a developing fire incident, People with Activity Limitations must be provided with a safe, alternative evacuation route – just like all other building users – which is a Fundamental Principle of all Fire Engineering. However … just one #User/#Occupant Fire Evacuation Lift/Elevator in a building is an empty, meaningless, Token Gesture !
'Fire Safety for All' on Macau TV News … Friday night, 28 June 2019 … my friend and colleague, Ar Joseph Kwan (Architect & Accessibility Consultant based in Hong Kong), is the person being interviewed …
Hong Kong Institute of Architects CPD Seminar – 24 June 2019
Continuing Professional Development (#CPD) is an important aspect of Ethical Architectural Practice. Arriving drenched in a heavy rain downpour on the Monday evening … I was not surprised, therefore, to find that this Seminar was well attended by local architects. Representatives of HK Authorities Having Jurisdiction (#AHJ's), and Local Fire Services, as well as senior personnel involved in the development of the HK Code of Practice for Fire Safety in Buildings and the HK Barrier Free Design Manual were active participants in the panel discussion afterwards.

Meaning of the Evil Eye
Why the Evil Eye bead is more than just a good luck charm:
The Evil Eye is more than just a superstitious myth, and evil eye beads are more than just good luck charms. They are a reminder that we are all one people.
How's that?
Take an Orthodox from Greece, a Catholic from Mexico, a Jew from Israel, or a Muslim from Turkey, Iran, or anywhere in the Middle East. Different people, different religions, everybody always fighting all the time, etc, etc.
But what do they all have in common? They all believe in the Evil Eye, and they all wear these good luck charms to guard against it.
The Evil Eye is a reminder that underneath it all, we are all the same human beings, even if we think we're different.
In our eyes, that's what makes the evil eye REALLY cool!
Enough editorial, now for the straight story...
Throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East, many people believe envious gazes or high praise from others can bring you bad luck.
The people who praise you probably mean you no harm, but still, evil spirits can piggyback in on their words or looks, and put a bad luck curse on you.
The Nazar Boncuk charm (or Evil Eye Bead) is an "eye", often set on a blue background. It stares back at the world to ward off the evil spirits and keep you safe from harm. It is one of the most common items of decoration in any Turkish home, in any car, or on any person. You can see the charm hanging above doorways, dangling from the wrists of young women, or even planted right into the cement outside modern office buildings. And always, always, you will see them pinned to the shirts of newborn babies.
What do the colors mean? In Turkey and surrounding countries, the most popular evil eye charm color is blue. Turkey is in a dry part of the world, where water is precious -- with water things prosper and grow, and without it, things shrivel and die. The color blue reminds people of fresh, cool water.
In the Jewish faith, the color red is often associated with luck and good fortune, so red is also a popular color.
When the Evil Eye Bead appears in other colors besides blue or red, it is usually for fashion reasons -- color coordination with one's wardrobe. Beads in the alternative colors have every bit as much protective power as the traditional blue ones.
Evil eye beads go back thousands of years. The earliest written references to the evil eye occur on Sumerian clay tablets dating to the third millennium BC. Agate beads of exceptional quality, worn to protect the wearer from the influence of the evil eye, were also discovered in royal Sumerian graves at Ur.
In Turkey and Greece, throughout the republics of Central Asia, and all the way to the Turkic regions of western China -- the effects of the "evil eye" are believed real, and genuinely feared.

The May Retail Sales Index was released by the CSO earlier today. The up-down volatility in the series that was seen around the turn of the year has now been replaced by downward momentum.
Both the value and volume series are now down to the minimums there were recorded last December. The drop to these levels in December was largely influenced by the extreme cold weather that the country experienced. There is no such meteorological explanation for the return to these levels in May.
Unsurprising, the annual changes are moving further away from zero. Value is now 3.5% behind last year and volume 5.1% down on last year. We had expected that the annual comparisons around now would be negative even if the index had managed to stop falling. It hasn't and the annual drops are getting larger.
The recent volatility is highlighted by the monthly changes but the jumps from positive to negative have been replaced by a series of negative monthly changes. It must be all those pesky savers!

Probably meet with best team for mobile app development. And i am pretty sure its my good luck. Strongly suggest everyone to close your eyes and choose them. Thanks team for delivering me a great product!!
Great work again by the Arition Infotech team. Delivered the project on time and excellent communication throughout. Excellent quality of work too and always willing to go that extra step to endure everything is okay. Highly recommended
I'm very happy with the result. During the work process, they were very flexible and willing to try out various things according to my suggestions. I will sure hire them again!Thanks team #arition
We have used Arition Infotech to design our Skip Hire Project. I personally rang many app developing companies in india but i was not convinced that they can handle what we want. After speaking to Arition Infotech i was convinced that they have a good knowledge of what they are doing. I was nervous because it was a big project and i do not wanted to waste our time. Arition Infotech proved that they are the best. They designed a plan for me and they delivered the product on time. The APP was easy to use and user friendly too. I recommend Arition Infotech to everyone and i have a confidence they will be happy too like us. Thank you heaps guys and well done for doing a good job
Response within a business day, guranteed!

Nobody knows exactly how many fighting roosters there are in Puerto Rico. The breeders who raise them for cockfights say at least half a million. Two hundred and fifty of those live in neatly lined cages in José Torres' backyard in the mountain town of Utuado, and should the police show up to take them when cockfighting is banned at the end of this year, he has no plans to give them up.
"I already told my wife and I told my mother," Torres said, "that anyone who comes and tries to take one of my roosters will have to kill me first. And I'm not the only one. There are thousands of us."
In the rural mountains of central Puerto Rico, cockfighting is culture. It took root during Spanish colonial times. It survived a three-decade prohibition imposed by the United States in the early 20th century. And though the recession that has hollowed out the island's rural towns for the last decade has also taken its toll on cockfighting, the practice has persisted in dozens of family-run arenas across the island, a pastime and livelihood for thousands of families.
But now legal cockfighting on the island is in its death throes. After years of lobbying, animal rights advocates in the U.S. last December convinced Congress to ban the blood sport in U.S. territories, the last places under federal jurisdiction where it is still allowed.
People like José Torres, who raises and trains other people's roosters for fights, will see their livelihoods vanish.
"I'm a sixth-generation cockfighter," Torres said. "This is how I support my family. But I also inherited this. I was going to pass this onto my children."
The ban takes effect Dec. 20, and in recession-weary Puerto Rico, few people doubt that the end of regulated cockfighting will drive more families into poverty. Many cockfighters expect to leave the island altogether, joining the hundreds of thousands who in recent years have fled Puerto Rico's economic turmoil and the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
"Cockfighting is a multi-million-dollar industry," said Gerardo Mora, the Puerto Rican government official who regulates the island's 64 licensed cockfighting arenas. "Breeders, trainers, veterinarians, grain distributors, medication, spurs, cages. So it's lamentable that people who don't understand Puerto Rico's idiosyncrasies would, in the name of benevolence, make unjust decisions to eliminate our national sport."
The federal effort to eradicate cockfighting on the island will be a tall order. Many Puerto Ricans, including some elected officials, have vowed to defy the ban, calling it an attack on Puerto Rican culture. Across the island, cockfighters are preparing to take the sport underground. And like José Torres, many say they're prepared to defend their roosters with their lives, raising the specter of violent standoffs.
Considering cockfighting's cultural and economic importance, Mora said it's no surprise – in fact, it's fitting — that cockfighters would be willing to defend their roosters with their blood.
"Without a doubt, there will be conflict," he said. "Such is the pride of Puerto Rico's cockfighters."
'Cruelty is not culture'
While the island's flashiest cockfighting arenas are in big cities like San Juan, more typical are the ones like the Gallera Borinquén in the municipality of Arecibo, said to be among Puerto Rico's oldest. It's a squat rectangular building tucked off a road that winds through Puerto Rico's inland mountains. By 2 p.m. on a Saturday, the grassy lot is filled with cars, and the cacophony of crowing roosters fills the air.
Inside, fighters line up to register and weigh their birds, and then roam the room in search of a willing opponent. They use hot glue to affix their roosters' feet with plastic spurs for piercing their rivals' flesh. A judge administers a quick test for illegal substances.
The spectators – mostly men – settle into the seats encircling the ring. Some shout across the room to place bets with others in the audience. The sound of a buzzer announces the first match, and the two birds are released into the pit.
The first fight lasts only a few seconds. In the initial thrashing of beaks and feet, the plastic spike on one of the birds' legs impales its opponent's brain, killing it quickly. But on this Saturday, the ringside judge ends most of the matches when one of the roosters, punctured and bloody and bruised, simply can't muster the energy to keep fighting.
José Torres is here, and he's brought his 10-year-old son, José Yadiel, who spends his time asking the owners of vanquished birds whether, rather than put them down, he can take them home.
"If they can be healed, we should try to heal them," Torres said. "You can't lose your affection for a rooster just because he lost a fight."
He said such respect for the animal and for your opponents, regardless of a fight's outcome, is why many cockfighters refer to their pastime as the "gentleman's sport."
But Kitty Block, the president of the Humane Society of the United States, the group that lobbied Congress to extend the cockfighting ban to Puerto Rico, said tossing animals into a ring to tear each other apart is anything but gentlemanly.
"Cruelty is not culture. And it's important to look at what it is, and what it's doing to the animals," Block said. "These are birds that are armed with weapons, and they slash eyes out, and it's just a brutal blood sport that should've gone a long time ago."
The ban, inserted into last year's federal farm bill, has been a long-sought goal of the Humane Society's — the culmination of broader efforts to bring an end to all spectator sports that pit animals against each other.
Block said the fact that many Puerto Ricans make a living off cockfighting did not justify its practice.
At the Gallera Borinquén, most cockfighters shake their heads in frustration over such concerns.
"These roosters are born to fight, they're bred for this, it's in their genes," said Luis Ángel del Valle. "What's cruel is what these people are doing to us."
Like many here, del Valle sees the ban through the lens of the U.S. government's long history of cultural imposition on Puerto Rico, beginning with the first time it banned cockfighting on the island in 1899, a year after invading it during the Spanish-American War. That ban lasted 34 years. When del Valle heard that this latest ban had passed last December, he thought of his grandfather, who used to ride his mule across the island attending cockfights.
"He used to tell me about these senators who would come from the United States and visit the poor areas of Puerto Rico and thought they had all the answers," del Valle said. "They were sharp. They knew how to get what they wanted. Now they're here again, trying to take cockfighting away from us, and we aren't going to let them. Like our roosters, we're going to fight to the end."
'People have mixed feelings'
After Governor Robert Gore, appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt, signed a bill allowing regulated cockfighting to resume in 1933, the sport flourished for most of the twentieth century. But for the better part of this century, it's been in decline.
In 1985, a million and a half people attended cockfights at 132 licensed arenas, according to island government figures. For the next 20 years annual attendance hovered at around a million. The dip began in 2005, just as Puerto Rico's economy began to crash and hundreds of thousands of people — mostly from the island's rural, mountainous interior, where cockfighting is most popular – began leaving for the United States. By 2016, annual attendance had fallen to just 330,000 at the 83 licensed arenas that remained. And that was before Hurricane Maria, which destroyed another 20.
Despite this, the island's cockfighters remain a politically potent force. Not a single local politician openly opposes cockfighting, nor are there local citizen movements against it.
Juan Llanes Santos, a historian who's tried to get some of the island's cockfighting arenas listed as historic places, said the reason there isn't more organized opposition to cockfighting is partly rooted in Puerto Rico's political situation.
As a U.S. territory, it has no voting representation in Congress, nor can its residents vote for president. As a result, many people call it the world's oldest colony.
"So people have mixed feelings," Llanes said, "they may not like the sport, but on the other hand they object to outsiders dictating what cultural practices we can engage in. It's about being able to define Puerto Rican identity for ourselves."
'They'll have to do it alone!'
In late January, six weeks after the congressional ban was approved, close to 2,000 cockfighters descended on the capital, San Juan. As they marched to the capitol building, many hoisted roosters into the air.
What, they demanded to know, were the island's legislators going to do to save cockfighting?
Few of the local politicians who took turns climbing into the bed of the pickup truck leading the protesters through the streets could offer much more than vociferous solidarity. But when San Juan's mayor, Carmen Yulín Cruz, took her turn, she made the crowd roar.
"Here in San Juan," the mayor bellowed, "no city police officer, no city employee will intervene to stop a cockfight. If federal agents want to, they'll have to do it alone!"
She said San Juan's city council had already adopted a policy to that effect, and that mayors from across the island were calling her requesting the language so they could draft similar ordinances.
"This is not about politics!" Yulín cried. "This is about defending our culture, and our sport!"
In the months that followed, some politicians, including, most recently, Governor Wanda Vázquez, signed onto a lawsuit that leaders of the cockfighting industry filed challenging the ban in federal court.
In an effort to prevent more of Puerto Rico's cockfighting arenas from falling victim to abandonment and disrepair, over the summer the island's lawmakers passed a bill giving the buildings' owners the option to convert them into gambling halls.
In June, the president of Puerto Rico's Senate spent $36,000 to have a bronze sculpture of a crowing rooster installed on the lawn of the capitol building.
And for months, Gerardo Mora, the island's cockfighting regulator, has been attending cockfights to urge people who make a living off the sport to begin making other plans.
"Federal law supersedes local law," he tells them, "and as much as I'd like to override that, I can't."
'It's the pride'
Ban or no ban, Johnny Ríos has no intention of ever quitting.
Such is his passion for cockfighting that his left arm sports a tattoo of a gamecock encircled by the words "tradition" and "culture." Such is his passion that on his wedding day, he left his bride at the reception and went to the fights. Such is his passion that during the 40 years he lived in New York, he said, he kept roosters in the closet of his Brooklyn apartment. He was arrested for illegal cockfighting dozens of times, but that never stopped him.
"You think that if I did it in New York, that now that I'm in my home country, and this is a big part of our culture, that I'm going to stop?" he asked. "Because whitey over there put in this law? It's not going to happen. All they see is two birds fighting. But it's not just two birds fighting. It's the economy. It's the pride. It's our culture."
While it's still unclear how quickly authorities will begin enforcing the prohibition, or which agencies will take charge doing so, in the weeks leading up to December's ban some bird owners on the island have started putting their birds in to fight at a more urgent pace. Or they're shipping them to the Dominican Republic, where cockfighting is legal.
But not Ríos. Rather than liquidate, he's holding steady, and continuing to breed roosters.
Ríos says he plans to go underground.
"Most of the cockfighters are going to continue fighting," he said. "They're just going to do it illegally."
In his estimation there are already more illegal cockfighting venues in Puerto Rico than licensed ones. The federal ban will only create more, he said. In fact, he's already found sites for two of his own.
One is a house that lost its roof to Hurricane Maria, deep in the mountains not far from his own house. A gate protects the entrance to the long narrow road that leads up to it.
The owner, a friend, agreed to rent him the damaged house for the fights.
"We're going to have somebody at the gate with a walkie-talkie to let us know if the cops come," Ríos said, standing outside the gate. "But nobody should bother us up here."
Abandoning a way of life
While the thought of abandoning the vocation that has sustained his family for six generations is painful, José Torres said he has no choice.
"I don't endorse clandestine fights," he said. "I can't get arrested. I have three children to support."
Torres hopes the federal lawsuit challenging the cockfighting ban will buy Puerto Rico's cockfighters a little more time. But in case it doesn't, he's making plans to leave Puerto Rico, to find work in the United States and send the money back to his wife and children.
"There's nothing else for me here," he said, "with the way Puerto Rico's economy is."
He said he still doesn't know where he'll go. Maybe Florida. In the weeks ahead, he's going to fight as many of his roosters as he can. And to figure out what to do with the rest. Anything but turn them over to authorities.
"We'll have to eat them. Or give them away," he said. "We can't set them free. They'll kill each other."

Here the problem states to find the steady state charges on the condensers.<<<<
According to me the charges on second at steady must be zero else there would be some current in the resistance in it's parallel(which can't be true because then $C$ too will have current in it and it will not be steady state) . Is this argument correct or there would be something else in this case?
EDIT:additional question
How does the charge initially that started accumulating on the $2C$ capacitor goes away at steady state?
Initially the capacitor does not pose resistance so, maximum charges pass through the capacitor instead of the resistance.But finally the charge on it is zero,please explain what happens in mean time.

The South Korean pop star Psy has reached a decidedly modern milestone: His hit, "Gangnam Style" has reached 2 billion (yes, with a "b") plays on YouTube.
The Wall Street Journal reports the milestone comes just as Psy releases another single, a collaboration with rapper Snoop Dogg. The paper adds:
"Psy acknowledged themilestone on hisTwitter page , saying it was 'very honorable and burdensome,' an apparent reference to the difficulty of recapturing the magic of a runaway hit like 'Gangnam Style.'
"Psy's follow-up tune, 'Gentleman,' while hardly a slouch at nearly 700 million views, was seen as a bit of a letdown, in part because of its similarities with 'Gangnam Style.'
"The new song, in contrast, will mark a sharper break from the past, Psy's handlers said on their website, promising a song that would be 'completely different' from its two predecessors, and show off a new, more hip hop-tinged side of Psy."
But back to "Gangnam Style." Just how big a hit is this? The next most popular video is Justin Bieber's "Baby," which has 1.04 billion views.
And in case you were wondering, even with the tiny amount YouTube pays its users, Psy would still be a rich man with this hit.
Using Business Insider's calculations, Psy made about $2 million just off payments from the ads played in front of his video.

New KUKA KR 100-2 PA Palletizing Robot
New Carbon Fiber Composite Robot Increases Productivity for Medium Payload Palletizing Applications
11 avril 2005
Clinton Township, Michigan — February 17, 2005 – KUKA Robotics Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of industrial robots, today announced the availability of the new KUKA KR 100-2 PA™ palletizing robot. The new robot and KUKA's KR 180 PA™ robot are the only robots made in part from state-of-the-art carbon fiber composite materials. This material makes the robot arm lighter, faster and less expensive and ultimately increases the customer's throughput. Specifically designed for high-speed, medium-payload palletizing/handling tasks up to 100 kg, the robot's small footprint and highest vertical reach gives customers added flexibility in a minimum space requirement.
"Our customers were demanding shorter cycle times for their lighter payload palletizing applications," said Joe Campbell, director of strategic alliances for KUKA Robotics Corporation. "The KR 100-2 PA robot delivers increased throughput with its improved speed and the most efficient work envelope available."
"Manufacturer's customers continue to develop innovative packaging for their customers and so, must produce products in new shapes, materials and sizes. We have to keep up with that demand for flexibility by offering the right palletizing solution for each project," said Salh Khan, president of AIDCO International a system partner of KUKA Robotics Corporation. "We believe the KUKA KR 100-2 PA™ robot will be the robot of choice for mid-sized palletizing applications."
The KUKA KR 100-2 PA four-axis robot's third axis linkage is made of carbon fiber composite material. This state-of-the-art material makes the robot light without sacrificing high stiffness. This allows it to stack loads weighing up to 100 kg to heights of up to 3000 mm, at rates as high as 600 palletizing cycles per hour. The robot is easy to program using KUKA's PalletTech™ palletizing software (PalletTech Layout™ is included with the robot) that replaces difficult programming with an intuitive graphical Windows interface. This custom-tailored application software makes it easier to carry out programming on a conventional PC and calculate ideal pallet structure. Through the use of PalletTech's off-line unit-load pattern editor commissioning and set-up times as well as the effort needed to create new pallet patterns can be significantly reduced. Additionally, PalletTech monitors and controls the process during a product change and when restarting after a fault.
KUKA™ Robotics Corporation, with its parent company KUKA Roboter GmbH, Augsburg, Germany, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of industrial robots, with an annual production volume approaching 10,000 units, and an installed base of over 60,000 units. The company's 5 and 6 axis robots range from 3kg to 500kg payloads, and 635mm to 3700mm reach, all controlled from a common PC based controller platform. KUKA robots are utilized in a diverse range of industries including the appliance, automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, logistics, food, pharmaceutical, medical, foundry and plastics industries and in multiple applications including material handling, machine loading, assembly, packaging, palletizing, welding, bending, joining, and surface finishing.

Online slots are the games that bring in the most revenue for casinos in terms of revenue.
You should not bet full coins on any online slot that has live multipliers or even payouts. Adding coins in the first round won't get you anything extra. This way, you play with triple your actual money and have three chances to win while playing at full speed. Always play with the higher currency. This means you will obviously get better payouts. You should play as many coins as possible on progressive slot machines. If you want to win the jackpot on a progressive machine, you need to play as many coins as possible. Less means you are winning the jackpot over other players. There is a common misconception that channels are cyclical. Remember that slots do not work in silos. Slot machines are based on the principle of chance, and therefore everyone can win regardless of the spin. The results of future rotations are not linked to past results. Therefore, there is no such system that can help you predict the results of slot machine spins. You should be careful of sellers who claim to sell systems that can beat online slot machines. Many people have tried to find a formula or mathematical system to win when playing online slots. However, no one has had enough success.
Finally, it is important to read the instructions on the slot machine before actually playing. Online slot machines often have this information before play and clearly suggest winning lines and symbols.

Crowdfunding Success in 5 Easy Steps On the heels of a $1.9 million Indiegogo campaign, founders of the smart home security device Canary share their crowdfunding advice.
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Crowdfunding isn't easy. Some projects fail because there isn't a place in the market. Other campaigns fail because they aren't far enough along in product development to convince people to jump onboard. And some fail simply because they don't have enough planning or strategy in place before they launch.
When Canary launched our Indiegogo campaign we set a goal of $100,000. We met that threshold before lunchtime on the first day and by the time our campaign ended 34 days later on August 26 this year we had raised over $1.9 million and became the most successfully funded campaign in Indiegogo history.
Here are our top 5 recommendations for crowdfunding success:
1. Clearly define your product and your goals.
Many people have amazing ideas but go into crowdfunding without fully defining their goals ahead of time. Are you building a single product, a group of products, a company, or is this just a fun side project? You will be in a better position to open up and present yourself to "the crowd" if you know and can articulate your goals. Spend the time to develop your brand or craft your bio prior to launch so you're not scrambling to figure it out when you open yourself up to the eyes of the internet.
2. Tell a story about what you can do for others.
People care much more about themselves than they do about your idea. This means that simply telling people about the amazing product you're building won't lead to a successful campaign. You need to create a story around your product. This story should weave itself through your video, your project description, your images, your updates -- everything. Your focus needs to be on how your product can fit into someone's life in a meaningful way. Resist the tendency to lead with tech specs and feature lists. Make it about people, not about you or your product.
3. Spend money to make money.
Yes, your goal is to raise money. However, there are ingredients so critical to a successful crowdfunding campaign that they justify throwing down some cash for. A powerful video is crucial. We hired a professional director to film our video but with some money and planning you can also make a pro video on your own. Spending money for PR assistance can also pay off. You want your campaign to hit the ground running so having a PR expert help you line up and manage media coverage and interviews prior to launch can make all the difference. Brand development, copywriting, and social media management might also be worth the investment, depending on the scope of your project.
Related: The Basics of Crowdfunding
4. Show your supporters you appreciate them.
Find ways to make your supporters feel loved and important. Answer each comment or question as quickly as possible. Be honest and give people straight answers to difficult enquiries. Even if the crowdfunding site doesn't provide the option, if someone wants to change their order or make a return, make it happen. Send t-shirts, stickers, or handwritten thank you notes to early supporters. No matter what your role on the team is, your job is to care about the customer.
5. Consider feedback but stay true to your vision.
If you execute well on all of the above and supporters start lining up, you will likely get feature requests. Some of that feedback might be subtle and friendly, some of it will be loud and demanding. Regardless of tone it's important to listen and react to all of this feedback: consider suggestions, discuss as a team, and respond to people sincerely. Inviting people into your process is part of the fun of crowdfunding. But through all of it you must stay true to your product vision. Don't feel pressure to bend the product to the will of the loudest voice in the room. Only set stretch goals or add features that align with your product vision and goals. Keep it simple and stay the course.

Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii)
Stranding Location: Hyde County, NC
Arrival Date: 12/13/2010
Age: juvenile
Weight: 9.50 kg (~21 lb)
Case History
In an effort to help North Carolina facilities overwhelmed by a large number of cold-stunned sea turtles that stranded in early December, nine sea turtles were transferred to the SCA's Sea Turtle Hospital on 13 December 2010. Hyde, a juvenile 7.22 kg Kemp's ridley, is one of two Kemp's ridleys received from NC.
Hyde arrived in comparatively poorer shape than the other eight turtles admitted due to the NC cold-stun event. In addition to being started on two separate antibiotics, Hyde received a complete physical, fluids, radiographs, and blood work. He is being housed with Guardian, the other NC Kemp's ridley.
5 January 2011: This stubborn little ridley initially refused to eat and received fluids on multiple occasions. However, we have discovered Hyde loves salmon and he's been eating well since 1 January. We are seeing improvements in his behavior, although it is still somewhat abnormal.
15 January 2011: Radiographs revealed the possible development of osteomyelitis in the distal tibia last week despite the continuation of antibiotic treatment. This means that Hyde will be in our care until the bone infection is under control (he's potentially in for a long rehabilitation). While his recent blood work was fairly good, we are still seeing a mildly elevated WBC count.
8 February 2011: Hyde's body condition is excellent, and radiographs today showed no signs of osteomyelitis. We also love the fact that Hyde loves his enrichment tube; Hyde loves to hide!
7 May 2011: Good luck, Hyde!
