Managing your online footprint
Navigating social media tools like LinkedIn and Facebook are key to your online presence.
At the October 2011 Career Smart Engineers Conference in Chicago, I gave a presentation on how an engineering firm can strengthen its brand and sales position through marketing programs that tap the power of digital and social media. However, during and after the conference, many of the questions I received focused on the use of various social media sites, such as Facebook and LinkedIn, for individual professional exposure. What the questions were really asking was how individuals could manage their online social media footprint. These are timely and important questions, so here I will provide general guidelines we all should follow when using social media to manage an online footprint and to strengthen a personal brand and exposure.
Should I have an individual LinkedIn profile? The short answer is: absolutely. LinkedIn is many things, but the primary use is to facilitate your online resume. For many clients, colleagues, and potential employers, it is the first stop in trying to get to know you, understand your background, and gain insight into your experience. Your first priority should be to make sure that your profile is clear and concise and reads as well as any resume or curriculum vitae (CV) that you would apply toward project proposals and career growth. Immediately after you have posted your profile, have colleagues and mentors review it for readability and advise you if you have left out any significant experience, skill, or accomplishment. You also may want to ask them to "recommend you."
Should I make a lot of LinkedIn connections? Having a profile ois just the beginning. Once you have posted the profile, be "selectively proactive" in making connections or "links" to other individuals. LinkedIn will automatically make suggestions based on your background. As you add new connections, others will seek to add you to their network. However, the goal is not to have a large quantity of connections, but to have quality contacts who provide strategic, substantive interactions with you and who strengthen your reputation. The more selective you are in making connections, the more efficiently and effectively LinkedIn will work for you.
How many LinkedIn groups should I join? Groups can help you network with peers, both online and in person. Most groups are geared toward professional pursuits, while some focus on educational background. Consulting engineers have the opportunity to share information, learn about education opportunities, or discuss code issues with others at the Consulting-Specifying Engineer group, for example.
How often should I update my LinkedIn profile? At a minimum, update quarterly. You should include job changes and promotions, speaking opportunities, articles published with links, volunteer roles in professional organizations, training, and professional certifications. If you desire to be viewed as a thought leader, consider the occasional link to thought-provoking articles or materials. Don't overdo it—you don't want to "wear out" your contacts. And, ask for feedback on the value of the material you post.
Should I "friend" work colleagues or clients on Facebook? This answer is not so straightforward. While I am inclined to tell you no, the answer is … it all depends. Only you can decide how comfortable you are with your professional colleagues and clients having access to what gets posted on your Facebook page. Personally, I have decided to keep LinkedIn for my professional relationships and Facebook for my personal relationships. This way, I don't have to worry if a professional colleague or client will be offended by my friends posting a silly or embarrassing picture, a controversial political statement, or an off-color comment. As Dr. Amy Smith mentioned in her November 2011 Career Smart article, knowing your boundaries is a critical tenet in building better relationships.
Can employers see my Facebook profile? Yes. In addition to running credit and background checks and verifying references, prospective employers increasingly are tracking your "online footprint," or profiles you may have on any social media sites. So, if you are exploring your employment options or aspire to a high-profile role in your company, consider this rule of thumb: Don't post anything that would embarrass you in front of your mom.

The Bonita Chola (aka Angela Camacho) is an Indigenous descendant, domestic worker, creative, Bruja, community organiser, and ancestor in the making, whose work is rooted in the need to take back a sense of space and a place of origin, moving away from colonialism. Her practices nurture the connection with the Bruja (read: witch) person that is inherent in all women, evolving collective memories and stories, exploring reconstruction and deconstruction of identity, and focusing on feelings and thoughts (sentipensar).
Angela collaborates with women and children in under-represented areas of London to produce and deliver healing arts and crafts workshops that are grounded in her Indigenous culture and traditions; with the hope to pass knowledge, to heal from colonialism, to recover the herstory of women of colour, and to reconnect with the past to project on the future. Her work brings together communities, artists, and activists to explore issues of sexism, environmental crisis, multinational exploitation, housing and welfare for refugees and migrants.
TINKU WARMI (Idioma Aymara, "Encuentro Mujeres")Mis manos saludan al tata Inti en cualquier parte del mundo saludan cansadas de no sentir pero siempre recuerdan que son hijas wawas de la tierra somos Indígenas Indígenas Decendientes Y en la piel una no siente la aucensia de la madre tierra por que somos su continuidad somos la extención de la pacha y la llebamos con nosotras a todos lados a todas partes, La sentimos completa Su abundancia Su dolor Tu perdida. Caminamos por que nuestra piel nunca ha dejado de exitir caminamos para crear un nuevo camino caminamos aquí haya cerca lejos cada uno de nuestros pasos marca soverania, grita dignidad en nuentro pensaminto en nuentra realidad no existe la aucensia de la madre tierra. Como sera eso nos preguntamos? |
TINKU WARMI My hands greet our tata inti (sun) in all corners of the world; they wave, fatigued from unfeeling but remembering always that they are daughters of the wawas (kids) of the Earth. we are Indígenas, Indigenous descendants and in our bones we do not feel removed from la madre tierra because we are continuum, we are the scope of our Pacha (mother earth) and we carry her with us wherever we are wherever we go; We feel her wholly; Her abundance Her pain Her loss. We march on because our very skin has never stopped existing We march on to carve a new path We march on from here to there, near and far each step marking empowerment, a cry for dignity. In our thoughts in our reality, there is no loss of our Mother Earth. How could that be? we ask ourselves. |
The Bonita Chola uses images of strong activist female role models from the Abya Yala, Indigenous, and Black communities, who have been ignored and erased by history. She evokes collective memories and stories of struggle through digital collage making. With only her mobile phone, she creates tools with minimum resources to share with grassroots organising back home, to explore the reconstruction and deconstruction of identity, and focus on her inner feelings and thoughts.
DÍA DE LA RESISTENCIA INDÍGENA (Indigenous Resistance Day)
Text by The Bonita Chola and @ja_kgender, translation by The Bonita Chola. This text is an excerpt from their essay "From Colonial Barbarism to the Present of Capitalist Looting: Abya Yala (So-Called Americas) in Struggle".
…On 12 October 1492, the colonisation began by means of which the gigantic original capitalist accumulation was perpetrated, which promoted the Industrial Revolution and European supremacy worldwide and which threw the Abya Yala peoples into centuries of colonial plunder and later into centuries of neocolonialism and capitalist plunder. From the genocide and looting perpetrated during the colonisation, the aristocracy and the European bourgeoisie accumulated an unprecedented fortune, which would propel Europe as a capitalist metropolis. The British and European population colony—that today is known as the United States—would also propel itself as a capitalist metropolis based on slavery and the expansionist policy of its bourgeoisie, who would assume the predatory continuity against the rest of the continent.
The world's greatest fortunes were built through genocide, deportation, enslavement, and looting. The current geopolitical relations between capitalist metropolises and the peripheries of capitalism have a historical origin marked in blood. The members of the exploiting class in the American continent, from north to south, are the direct descendants of colonial barbarism and are the accomplices of the looting perpetrated by transnational capitalism (slave fortunes continue to prevail, along with new looters).
For 528 years since October 1492, we verify the continuity of the struggle of the Abya Yala (America) people, as well as the continuing predatory behaviour of imperialism. The peoples rise up, against capitalism and their barbarism, against the bourgeois states who agree to poisoned loans with imperialist institutions like the IMF, whose amounts will go to the infrastructure required by the multinationals, to increase plundering the resources and line the pockets of the bourgeoisie, and whose usury interests the peoples will have to pay with their blood…
DÍA INTERNACIONAL DE LA MUJER AFROLATINAMERICANA, AFROCARIBEÑA Y DE LA DIÁSPORA (International Afro-Latino, Afro-Caribbean and Diaspora Women's Day)

Text by The Bonita Chola and @ ja_kgender, translation by The Bonita Chola.
Today we reaffirm and remember that cisheterosexualidad is a colonial system. Sexual diversity has historically been the norm, not the exception, among Indigenous peoples. The ancestral languages prove it. In Juchitán, Mexico, the muxes are neither male nor female, but rather a hybrid of both as the Zapotec gender. For our brothers of North America, the identity "two spirits" refers to a person who identifies male and female, and is used by some Indigenous people to describe their sexual, gender and/or spiritual identity.
In the Andes region of what is now called Bolivia, we have the word "Chacha-Warmi", which means man-woman. In Hawai'i, the māhū encompass both the feminine and the masculine. The Maori term takatāpui describes intimate same-sex friendships. Non-monogamy is the norm among the Zo'é peoples in the Amazon and the Ladakhis in the Himalayas. In other words, Indigenous sexualities/sexual identities were never heterosexual: from cross-dressing to homo-affective families, they are as diverse as the peoples who practise them. The disagreements that belong to Indigenous communities are doubly segregated. Despite the fact that both machismo and heteronorma were systems of violence imposed by colonialism, they continue to prevail in most Indigenous communities. The resistance of the communities is a double struggle: they have to choose between living their diverse identity or their Indigenous identity.
Mucho amor y fuego en su lucha! Que es la nuestra tambien, quemar la heteronorma y el patriarcado: RESABIOS DE LA COLONIZACIÓN!

ZYX R-50 Bloom 3 Moving Coil MC Cartridge
A superb low output moving coil cartridge that delivers an amazing performance at £500. In Origin Live arms this would be one of our top recommendations at this price point.
ZYX R-50 Bloom-H Moving Coil MC Cartridge
Regarded as one, if not the top cartridge manufacturers in the world, ZYX (pronounced "zikks") is now establishing itself in the UK
Superior Performance and Excellent Value for Money
The cartridges we sell have been selected from both personal experience and the opinions of trusted dealers and reviewers.
For this reason the range offers superior performance and excellent value for money.
Please note that we cannot send cartridges outside the UK – the only exception being our own Origin Live cartridges or cartridges less than £400 in value when ordered with an Origin Live arm or turntable.
How to choose your cartridge
One of the most common enquiries we receive is 'What cartridge should I use with this arm/deck?' There are many options so we try to simplify matters by offering a "hot list" of tried and tested cartridges, particularly recommended by those with wide experience. However we do provide most brands of Hi-Fi cartridges should you wish for something else.
To help your selection process the following aspects should to be considered:
The overall sound of your system – cartridge brands tend to have distinctive sound balances which we outline below. This aspect should match your system and affect your choice more than almost anything else.
The effective mass of your arm and cartridge compliance? This really depends on what arm you have – in short there is much more to matching than compliance and it's quite rare that this has much serious influence on your cartridge performance so we do not advise on it. Origin Live tonearms seem completely impervious to the issue of compliance.
The quality of your phono stage – Budget phono stages (up to £600) tend to work best with moving magnet or high output moving coil cartridges. Most high end cartridges are moving coil or moving iron but due to their low output (0.5mV or less), you need a very good phono stage to realise their true performance. Poor phono stages usually lead to disappointment with MC cartridges. It's worth adding that expensive phono stages are no guarantee of performance.
We suggest the phono stage should be around 2 to 5 times the cost of your cartridge if you are to get the best return on investment and so you might want to consider where you place your budget.
– MM = moving magnet cartridge with high output and 47 Kohm impedance
– MC = moving coil cartridge with low output usually and 100 ohm impedance
A number of the high output moving coils use moving magnet input at 47 Kohms
Cheap cartridges?
There are sources that offer seemingly amazing prices on cartridges – we would urge caution on these purchases as you may not know what you're getting. For example some Kouetsu's are made specifically for the Far East market. These Kouetsu's have a suspension system suited for hot climates and will not give optimum performance in colder climates.
Hot List of Cartridges with Strong Recommendation
It's quite hard nowadays to purchase a "duff" cartridge so the choice boils down to personal taste, compatibility and system matching. For this reason we can only offer guidelines on which cartridge to choose.
Higher-End Cartridges
High end cartridges such as Dynavector, Lyra, Benz Micro, Zyx, etc. all have their various strengths and reviews help to clarify your choice depending on your system and priorities. We particularly recommend Dynavector and Lyra cartridges but there are many other excellent cartridges which will work as well depending on your system and phono stage balance.
Mid-Market Cartridges
The Dynavector Karat 17d3 and XX2 are a moving coil cartridges which represent great value for money. The Lyra Delos has also gained an excellent reputation and is a safe choice.
Slightly lower in the range, the Dynavector 10X5 is almost without peer at the price point.
Cartridges Below £600
The Goldring 1000 Series – have excellent tonal balance with warmth, good bass and a nice top end.
The Goldring 2000 Series (£145-599*) – introduced because some listeners with more bass oriented systems wanted greater clarity and detail – the 2000 series brings this but at the expense of warmth. This series is not better than the 1000 series, just different.
Audio-Technica have an exceptionally good range of budget cartridges (£39-599) – exhibiting good tonal balance with punch and a lively performance.
Cartridges above £250
Brand sound descriptions
The remarks below are by no means definitive and are only intended as a guide to help those in no position to audition the multitude of options available.
Audio Technica – noted for definition, speed, clarity and detail – can be a little lean in the bass in some arms (seems most suited on Linn LP12 / Ittock or Akito combinations).
Dynavector – Excellent all-round MC cartridges – high output versions are 10×5 and 20XH suitable for moving magnet inputs, low outputs are also available higher in the range. Dynavector 17D Karat is a very highly regarded at its price point. The XX-2 is almost the same price as the Karat close and also a wonderfull cartridge. The choice comes down to preference but most prefer the XX2 for edging a better all round performance. The Karat however is preferred by some for its speed and transparency.
Goldring – Rich sound with plenty of warmth and bass depth – a popular phono cartridge with Rega arm users – a very safe choice that sounds good on most systems.
London – Outstanding Cartridges that lead the entire field in terms of vivid realism, dynamics and lifelike sound. Unique in construction and performance these cartridges have developed a loyal following for good reason. Drawbacks are poor tracking on damaged records and slight crackle on very worn records due to the fact that they pick up every tiny detail. The sheer dynamics, of these cartridges can cause compression effects and show up failings in poorer systems. This manifests itself in brightness and lightweight bass. In spite of these things many reviewers give Londons the highest praise. The benefits are so great that once heard there is no going back for some.
Lyra – Great tacking cartridges that deliver an organic presentation. May not always go quite as deep as Koetsus but have the edge in most other aspects such as transparency and imaging.
Ortofon cartridges are probably the most varied in terms of sound characteristics. High End Ortofon cartridges above £1000 are well balanced in their virtues and good value. Below this price there are various ranges some of which are ultra-clean and clinical with loads of detail like the Kontrapuncts and others like the Blue and Red which are the opposite in terms of capturing more warmth but which sound slightly thick in comparison to others.
Sumiko – A good choice for systems that are slightly bass heavy and need speed and agility adding, these cartridges have great resolution and are improved over previous models that tended to be lean in deep bass and low in warmth for some systems
Zyx – Very good tonal balance with slight emphasis on dynamic and deep bass. One of the most natural sounding mid bands available, excellent clarity and separation of instruments, sweet top end without the explicitness or slight overemphasis of some high-end contenders. Slight question on longevity of the suspension which may start to fade slowly after 3 years.
Please contact us to place an order or obtain a quote on the pick-up cartridge of your choice
"The natural detail and extension is almost startling after years of living with Benzes and Koetsus and Clearaudios and Shelters and van Den Huls and whatevers. This is one major area that drives vinyl lovers to change cartridges to find that ideal balance between enjoying fine detail and life-like resolution, but without any artificial harshness and glare". read more

The Internet is amazing! But it also has some things you need to watch out for.
Who Are You Online?
You're always you, of course. But if you use a smartphone, tablet, or computer to play games and text with friends, you also have an online identity. Games and websites might let you create a profile picture that represents you. It's fun to dress up that character and maybe give it a sense of style you'd never try at school.
Apps and websites also let you choose your own username. If you want to be known as King_of_Ketchup, that's your new name. So if you start calling yourself the King of Ketchup, does that mean you really like ketchup? Should you tell your new online friends how much you love ketchup? That's up to you, but it brings up a good point: How much should you share about your real self online?
You may feel fine telling your best friends about your biggest crush, but what if the whole school could see your poem about your crush's beautiful eyes? What if strangers could see it?
There are rules about being online, just like there are rules about what you do and say in other places. It's important you learn the rules so you can play safely online.
Keep Your Privacy
Anybody who uses the Internet has been asked to sign in, log in, or create a profile. Kids need to check with a parent or grown-up before doing so. Why? This information could be used for reasons you wouldn't like, like getting a lot of junk email.
Another word about email: If you have your own account, let your mom or dad know before you reply to email that asks for your personal information. Some email looks official, but it's actually a trick to get your personal info.
Another way to keep your privacy is to choose a screen name or email account name that isn't your real name. For instance, instead of "Jack_Smith," why not choose "Sk8boardKing21"? Only your friends and family will know your code name!
Social Media and Strangers
Maybe you're allowed to use your phone to send texts or watch videos. As you get older, you might get interested in social media sites. These usually have a minimum age (13 years), but many kids look at these sites before they're 13.
Social media sites let you text, share photos, play online games with friends, and tell people as much or as little about yourself as you want. But they also can let you meet strangers. It might seem fun to make new friends, but do not communicate with strangers you meet online. Don't talk to them, agree to phone them, or email them photos of yourself.
To a kid, this can seem kind of silly. The writer might seem really nice and tell you how you sound really smart and cute. Unfortunately, kids have been tricked online by people who pretend to be something that they're not. Someone might lie and say they're in sixth grade too, when they're really all grown up. Some kids have found themselves in a dangerous situation when they agreed to meet the mysterious online "friend" in person.
Let your parents know if a stranger emails you, sends a text message, or starts a conversation with you online. A grown-up should decide what's best to do, which may include changing your email address or telling the police. In general, if you're thinking about creating an account on a social media site, talk with your mom or dad first.
Online Bullying
When you're using the computer, it can be tempting to hide behind a username to play a joke on someone by teasing the person or pretending to be someone else. Or maybe you're angry with someone and it's easier to say something mean if the person doesn't know it's you.
Just like in the real world, it's mean and hurtful to do stuff like that online. Even if you're only kidding, they might not know that you're only joking and they might be very hurt or angry by what you said. It's a lonely feeling when you don't know who's messing with you. Is it someone just being funny or does the person really mean it?
Whether they're strangers or friends, the rule is: Be kind online. Schools, teachers, and parents are all getting stricter about what is OK or not OK to send as a message on your phone or computer.
Here's a good test: If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't say it to the person on the computer. And just like with regular bullying, tell a grownup if you or someone you know is being upset in this way.
Rules to Follow
If you're a kid who likes to have fun and chat with friends online, here's how you can stay safe and avoid problems:
Stick to safer sites. Your parents and teachers can guide you to the best sites for you. Some sites have age restrictions, so you might be tempted to lie about your age. It's safer to tell the truth and avoid those sites until you're older.
Guard your passwords. If someone can sign in as you, you have no control over what they do or say. And everyone will think it's you! So don't share your passwords with anyone except your parents.
Limit what you share. Never tell a stranger where you live or your phone number. If you're not sure if you should share something, ask a parent. Remember that anything you put online or post on a site is there forever, even if you try to delete it. If you wouldn't want your entire class to know or see something, you shouldn't share it with anyone online, not even your best friends.
Don't be mean or embarrass other people online. Just like you, there's a real person attached to that screen name who has feelings too.
Always tell if you see strange or bad online behavior. Tell an adult right away if someone says something to you that makes you uncomfortable. Also tell an adult if you see anyone bullying or saying strange stuff to other kids.
Be choosy about your online friends. Some sites let kids make lots of friends with people they don't know. But online friends are not the same as real in-person friends. Never agree to meet an online friend in person or give out personal information about yourself. It's dangerous because some people pretend to be kids online but actually are creepy adults.

Study Again Finds Homeownership to be a Better Way of Producing Wealth
According to the latest Beracha, Hardin & Johnson Buy vs. Rent (BH&J) Index homeownership is a better way to produce greater wealth, on average, than renting.
The BH&J Index is a quarterly report that attempts to answer the question:
Is it better to rent or buy a home in today's housing market?
The index examines the entire US housing market and then isolates 23 major markets for comparison. The researchers use a "'horse race' comparison between an individual that is buying a home and an individual that rents a similar quality home and reinvests all monies otherwise invested in homeownership."
Ken Johnson Ph.D., Real Estate Economist & Professor at Florida Atlantic University, and one of the index's authors states:
"The nation as a whole is in buy territory. Continued near record low mortgage rates, unsteady stock market performance, and rents (on average) now out pacing the cost of ownership (maintenance, taxes, insurance, etc.) all combine to favor owning and building wealth through home equity over renting and reinvesting in a portfolio of stocks and bonds."
Dallas, Denver and Houston currently remain deep in rent territory but, "there is some degree of good news from these markets for homeowners as the cost of renting is now increasing at a faster rate than the cost of homeownership — reducing the advantage of renting over buying."
Bottom Line
Buying a home makes sense socially and financially. Rents are predicted to increase substantially in the next year, so lock in your housing cost with a mortgage payment now.

3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup vanilla sugar or regular sugar
500gms apricots, halved & pitted
250gms cherries, pitted
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2 cup vanilla sugar or brown sugar (I used brown sugar)
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup rolled oats
4 tablespoons butter, chilled
- First the topping: in a small bowl, combine vanilla sugar, flour and rolled oats. Cut in the butter until crumbly.
- Preheat oven to 190 C.
- In a large bowl, combine flour & sugar; stir in the apricots, cherries & lime juice & toss to coat well. In case the fruits are tart you can adjust the sugar according to taste.
- Divide equally between 8 small ramekins or into a 9" pie dish.
- Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of topping over each ramekin, pressing down gently to seal the top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes till the top is light brown & fruit juices are bubbling out. Or about 40 minutes if you are using a single pie dish. Remember to keep a tray underneath to collect juices that will overflow.
- Serve warm or cold. A dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice-cream makes this crumble luxurious.

Also try the FADR after the XOR, switches = 1001,,1.
NEW X = OLD X - epsilon * OLD Y
NEW Y = OLD Y + epsilon * NEW(!) X
This makes a very round ellipse centered at the origin with its size determined by the initial point. epsilon determines the angular velocity of the circulating point, and slightly affects the eccentricity. If epsilon is a power of 2, then we don't even need multiplication, let alone square roots, sines, and cosines! The "circle" will be perfectly stable because the points soon become periodic.
The circle algorithm was invented by mistake when I tried to save one register in a display hack! Ben Gurley had an amazing display hack using only about six or seven instructions, and it was a great wonder. But it was basically line-oriented. It occurred to me that it would be exciting to have curves, and I was trying to get a curve display hack with minimal instructions.
X(N+1) = (2 - epsilon^2) * X(N) - X(N-1)
Y(N+1) = (2 - epsilon) * Y(N) - Y(N-1).
These are just the Chebychev recurrence with cos theta (the angular increment) = 1-epsilon^2/2. Thus X(N) and Y(N) are expressible in the form R cos(N theta + phi). The phi's and R for X(N) and Y(N) can be found from N=0,1. The phi's will differ by less than pi/2 so that the curve is not really a circle. The algorithm is useful nevertheless, because it needs no sine or square root function, even to get started.
X(N) and Y(N) are also expressible in closed form in the algebra of ordered pairs described under linear recurrences, but they lack the remarkable numerical stability of the "simultaneous" form of the recurrence.
X^2 - epsilon X Y + Y^2 = constant,
where the constant is determined by the initial point. This ellipse has its major axis at 45 degrees (if epsilon > 0) or 135 degrees (if epsilon < 0) and has eccentricity
sqrt(epsilon/(1 + epsilon/2)).
let X = the sum of many powers of two = ...111111
now add X to itself; X + X = ...111110
thus, 2X = X - 1 so X = -1
therefore algebra is run on a machine (the universe) which is twos-complement.
HRLOI A,-ORIGIN(A) EQVI A,ORIGINSlightly faster: change the HRLOIs to MOVSIs and the EQVI addresses to -ORIGIN-1. These two routines are clearly adjustable for BLKOs and other fenceposts.

sinh X = 3 sinh X/3 + 4 (sinh X/3)^3.
Changing the first -3.0 to a +9.0, then inserting PUSHJ P,.+1 after PUSHJ P,SIN gains about 20% in speed and uses half the pushdown space (< 5 levels in the first 4 quadrants). PUSHJ P,.+1 is a nice way to have something happen twice. Other useful angle multiplying formulas are
tanh X = (2 tanh X/2) / (1 + (tanh X/2)^2)
tan X = (2 tan X/2) / (1 - (tan X/2)^2),
if infinity is handled correctly. For cos and cosh, one can use
cos X = 1 - 2 (sin X/2)^2, cosh X = 1 + 2 (sinh X/2)^2.
In general, to compute functions like e^X, cos X, elliptic functions, etc. by iterated application of double and triple argument formulas, it is necessary to subtract out the constant in the Taylor series and transform the range reduction formula accordingly. Thus:
F(X) = cos(X)-1
F(epsilon) = -epsilon^2/2
G(X) = e^X - 1
G(epsilon) = epsilon
This is to prevent the destruction of the information in the range-reduced argument by the addition of a quantity near 1 upon the success of the epsilon test. The addition of such a quantity in the actual recurrences is OK since the information is restored by the multiply. In fact, a cheap and dirty test for F(epsilon) sufficiently small is to see if the addition step has no effect. People lucky enough to have a square root instruction can get natural log by iterating
X <- X/(sqrt(1+X) + 1) until 1+X = 1.
Then multiply by 2^(number of iterations). Here, a LSH or FSC would work.
The correct epsilon test in such functions as the foregoing SIN are generally the largest argument for which addition of the second term has no effect on the first. In SIN, the first term is x and the second is -x^3/6, so the answer is roughly the x which makes the ratio of those terms 1/2^27; so x = sqrt(3) / 2^13. But this is not exact, since the precise cutoff is where the neglected term is the power of 2 whose 1 bit coincides with the first neglected (28th) bit of the fraction. Thus, x^3/6 = 1/2^27 * 1/2^13, so x = 3^(1/3) / 2^13.

Dynamite Kid Autographed Pure Dynamite Book
220 page. Paperback.
signature may vary.
From Humble beginnings in England, to warm family atmosphere of the Hart Foundation in Calgary, Canada, to heights of success with the WWF, Tom Billington wrestled all the big names, including Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, and Mick "Cactus Jack" Foley.
Pure Dynamite is a blow by blow account of Tom Billington's career, who wrestled solo as the Dynamite Kid and with Davey Boy Smith as the world-champion tag team, the British Bulldogs. Confined to a wheel chair as a result of damage to his back and legs, years of steroid use have also done serious damage to Billington's heart and personal life. Pure Dynamite is as much a cautionary tale as it is a fairytale. Painfully candid, The Kid's story takes all the gloss off professional wrestling. The price you pay for wrestling stardom? Just as Tom Billington.

First Impressions Of Wii Sports Resort
My roommate, Josh, picked up a copy of Wii Sports Resort today and he let me take the first crack at it. Here are my first impressions.
- Duel – Swing your sword at your opponent and try to knock him off a tall platform American Gladiators style. Pretty fun but too easy. I made it to the Pro status in about 30minutes.
- Speed Slice – Be the fastest to slice objects in a certain direction. I really liked this mini-game. Requires a lot of focus and quick reactions.
Wakeboarding – Try to get big air while being dragged behind a boat. I haven't figured out how to tweak the tricks but it's dull.
- Frisbee Dog – Throw a Frisbee at a target for points similiar to darts and your dog fetches the Frisbee for you. The controls are really hard to get the hang of. Totally doesn't feel like throwing a Frisbee.
Archery – Shoot arrows at a bulls eye. The controls feel just like pulling back on a bow using the nun-chuck. Easy to pick up but difficult to master.
- 3-Point Contest – Take 3-point shots from various places on the court. The controls are a bit awkward as you have to reach down to grip the ball (holding the B button) then you have to do a tricep extension behind your head to simulate a shot while releasing the B button at the right time. My arm started to ache after the first round.
Table Tennis
- Match – Just like table tennis from the original Wii Sports except you can add spin. It's not as easy as regular tennis.
Golf – Much expanded from the previous version with 3 new courses, 3 classic courses and an option for 3, 9, or 18 holes. Josh is super excited for golf.
- Standard Game – Exact same thing as bowling from original Wii Sports.
Power Cruising (Jet Skiing)
- Slalom Course – The controls are just like riding a bike and are very responsive. The mini-game itself was ok. There's not much more to it.
- Speed Challenge – Paddle around the course as fast as you can. The controls are just like paddling a canoe where you have to keep switching sides in order to go straight. Technically it's a kayak, not a canoe.
- Road Race – Try to finish first place in a bike race around WuHu island with different types of terrain. It's just like the Tour de France. You have to manage your stamina as you can quickly run out of breath from sprinting too much. The controls are just like running in other Wii games. You also have to steer but it's as simple as leaning left or right while pumping your arms up and down to make you pedal. I can see this mini-game being the most challenging of the bunch.
Air Sports
- Skydiving – As you're free falling you have to grab on to other Mii's and rotate your body so a picture can be taken of you smiling. Points are rewarded for the number of smiles captured on film. At the end you make a formation and have to maneuver through rings. This was fun once but then quickly got boring.
- Island Flyover – You fly around in an airplane trying to fly through information icons. The format of the mini-game is like a treasure hunt. This concept was a lot of fun. Nintendo should make an entire flight game just like this. It was neat being able to zip around above the island doing barrel roles, and loops for 5-minutes. It's totally free-form and crashing is kid friendly where the plane bounces. Watching this on a big screen can really make you nauseous.
Note: Some sports have other variations that I haven't unlocked yet, so I left them out of this review.
If you were a big fan of the original Wii Sports game, then this will be a no-brainer for you. The new games are fun and most look challenging, especially for parties.
My biggest frustration was the 3 minute video Nintendo forced you to watch the first time you played Wii Sports Resort. It was akin to an airplane safety video but instead of talking about features of an airplane designed to save your life, the Nintendo video went into excruciating detail on how to attach the MotionPlus attachment to your Wiimote. Hint: It snaps right into the bottom just like the nun-chuck.
The game is $44.95 on Amazon.com and available now.

Building design professionals, facility managers and others seeking LEED building certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) can now look to certified sustainable ceramic tiles, glass tiles, and tile installation materials to earn the needed credits. To contribute, tiles and related installation materials on a project (mortars, grouts, etc.) must meet the extensive environmental and social responsibility requirements of Green Squared, the ceramic tile industry's multi-attribute, cradle-to-grave sustainability standard.
Specifically, Green Squared Certified products now qualify to contribute toward a new LEED Pilot Credit offered for using "Certified Multi-attribute Products and Materials." The credit requires that certification details, including which Green Squared electives were satisfied, are disclosed, and that a product lifecycle assessment (LCA) has been conducted.
The intent of the newly-available credit is "to encourage the use of products and materials for which life-cycle information is available and that have environmentally, economically, and socially preferable life-cycle impacts," according to USGBC.
To garner a LEED point under this credit, at least 25% by cost of the permanently installed building products on a project must meet a USGBC-approved product sustainability standard, like Green Squared, and have third-party validation to prove it. For Green Squared Certified products, that validation comes from a thorough assessment and certification from any of three international sustainability leaders: UL Environment, NSF International, and SCS Global.
"USGBC included Green Squared as an approved multi-attribute sustainability standard because the criteria are rigorous and fully in-line with the intent of the new credit," says Bill Griese, the Director of Standards Development and Sustainability Initiatives for Tile Council of North America (TCNA). "It's not easy to get on that list. The Committee looks at each standard closely to make sure products that meet them are truly sustainable. The credibility of the LEED program relies on that being a rigorous review and approval process."
In other words, by scrutinizing sustainability standards and recognizing only those that truly identify sustainable products, this LEED pilot credit makes it easier to build green by providing the criteria from which a specifier can choose products.
"When you see the Green Squared Certified logo you know the product manufacturer has invested in sustainable production," says Griese. "USGBC recognition underscores that and helps those looking for LEED certification through use of sustainable materials."
The new pilot credit is available immediately for registration on current LEED v3 and v4 projects and will continue to be available when USGBC transitions exclusively to LEED v4 in October 2016. How much a Green Squared Certified product contributes toward earning this pilot credit depends on the amount of recycled content, closed loop manufacturing waste reclamation, and/or regional raw materials used to produce the product.
Griese, who worked with USGBC and other sustainability experts on the new pilot credit further added: "The release of this new Pilot Credit establishes an important precedent for the specification of certified multi-attribute sustainable products for the years ahead. It affords architects and designers the flexibility to select product types based on design preferences and cost, and then to optimize based on sustainability within each relevant selection."
The new pilot credit was posted to the LEED Pilot Credit Library August 15, and the full text is available at www.usgbc.org/credits.

About Turnbull Manufacturing
Doug Turnbull Restoration began over 27 years ago in the back room of a local gun shop. As time and demand increased, a small building was built to house the handful of gunsmiths and craftsmen to perform the work. By staying true to the accurate and faithful restoration of old Winchester, Colt, Parker, Fox and other firearms, dating from 1872 until 1941, the name Doug Turnbull Restoration became synonymous with high quality. Any gun shop can refinish a firearm, but to truly restore a firearm to the same condition as when it was manufactured over 100 years ago takes skill, knowledge and attention to every detail.
-Keith VanOrman,
Turnbull Manufacturing Co.
Why did Turnbull Choose E2?
Work orders were no more than a note on a piece of paper. As volume increased, a spreadsheet was used to keep track of which guns needed what, and who they belonged to. Next, a database was used to allow more detailed notes to be kept on what was being done. This was used in combination with printed pages from a spreadsheet to indicate times established for certain steps in the restoration process. But the workload kept increasing, and there was no accurate way to track jobs in progress.
