This post is the first by our new author, Palestinian blogger Yasmeen El Khoudary, in which she introduces an initiative set up by a group of bloggers in Gaza called Diwan Ghazza.
It's quite surprising to see that people are quite surprised to hear that there's a book club in Gaza, but I guess that's exactly why we started Diwan Ghazza. Let me tell you our story.
A group of my friends and I are fed up with the way the world regards Gaza (with the usual media coverage on the negative side of life here) and disregards the other face: the historic, the beautiful, the educated, and the inspirational. We decided that Gaza is a city no less capable than other cities, and the fact that we have gone through so much should add to our credit. Gaza breeds thinkers, and the only thing it teaches them is that they should do the thinking themselves. There are no cultural centers, theatres, cinemas or updated public libraries in Gaza, but that wasn't going to stop us.
So we decided to put our thoughts, time and energy into creating a group that we would be proud of belonging to. Its quite funny actually, that whenever people ask us what "Diwan Ghazza" is, our answer, "we're a group of friends interested in knowledge and in improving Gaza's image in the world", they don't get it. How can we not be a registered society or an NGO?! Why are we not asking for funding?! How can you not have an office!?
But Diwan Ghazza is much simpler than that. We're not willing to be subject to boring NGO or donor regulations. Why should we seek to become "officially registered" and ask for donations when we can do great work without any money?
Our first activity was the first Gaza Tweet-Up in July 2011, which gathered about 30 tweeps from Gaza, many of them meeting for the first time. We discussed everything from our role and responsibility as Gaza tweeps to future activities by Diwan. Later, we organized an online tweet up with Frode Mauring, Special Representative of the Administrator in the occupied Palestinian territories. We also organized several meetings between youth activists in Gaza and UNDP and other diplomats, including a diplomatic and cultural mission from Sweden.
Simultaneously, in July 2011, I became the Gaza Coordinator for the amazing Palestine Writing Workshop. We organized several writing e-workshops (generously hosted by the British Council), which were attended by an array of students and professionals who greatly benefited from the experiences of renowned authors from around the globe.
Later, we started the Gaza Book Club chapter with two novels: "Zabelle" by Nancy Kricorian and "The Road from Damascus" by Robin Yassin-Kassab. We also had a very insightful discussion about Zabelle with Nancy Kricorian after reading the novel, and are looking forward to a discussion with Robin Yassin-Kassab soon!
Our group started growing, and more and more people became interested in Diwan Ghazza and in the book club. But we didn't want to limit ourselves to English books or to novels, or to a small group of people. Neither did we have an updated library or bookstore option. Thus, we decided to start the Diwan Ghazza Book Exchange Club. And we did.
Our first meeting was in January, and was attended by 18 people, and yielded over 25 books. From books about Gaza's Christian history, to a translated Norwegian novel "Hunger", by Knut Hamsun, to Charles Dickens, to Sahar Khalife, the books were a beautiful assortment. We met again last week, with more people and more books (we did not count, but the pile was HUGE).
This time, Ahmed Matar's poetry, fresh books about the Egyptian revolution, and Paulo Coelhos' books were among the collection. We swapped books again, but were left with a huge pile. Thankfully, the place that hosts our events, Almat'haf Hotel (Gaza's first museum of archeology and cultural house) offered to host our mini library in the hotel's business center. Anyone who's interested can check out our virtual shelf on Good Reads but our only condition is that you write a book review!
And by doing that, we are slowly building a model to show that a LOT can be done in Gaza without any donations. All you need is genuine commitment and mutual interests. I hope I was able to answer your questions about Diwan Ghazza, our book club and on how we're attempting to restore our Gaza, to which Choricius of Gaza (491-518 AD) [pdf] once belonged, and established Gaza's School of Rhetoric – a beacon of knowledge during Late Antiquity!
About Diwan Ghazza: we are a group of friends who seek to show the world a better image of Gaza (an image that exists, but has been ignored for so long), by: empowerment through knowledge and by providing a venue for youth to speak out about Gaza's forgotten face. As for our name, the diwan in Palestinian culture is the guesthouse of families, where relatives and friends gather to talk and discuss issues. Our Diwan is a venue for exchanging and discussing ideas, thoughts and knowledge. For more information, see our website, and Facebook page.
Our team is composed of 5 ambitious Palestinians from Gaza, Ola Anan, Jehan Al Farra, Bashar Lubbad, Omar Ghraieb, and Yasmeen El Khoudary.

A nice, slow afternoon involved playing some Kingdom Of Loathing, in which we're all eagerly anticipating the event of NS13. I would say we're preparing for it, except it's difficult to know how to prepare - a lot of goalposts are being shifted. I play with two characters, one who ascends regularly and tries out different character classes, and one who just gets really really powerful in one class - she's been going for a year but has only just ascended for the first time. I really enjoy exploring the game, and for NS13 I'm putting aside my current gameplay style and trying to get both my characters up to a respectable level so that (hopefully) I will be able to explore all the new content with relative ease.
I apologise that the above paragraph meant nothing to non-KOL-ers.
Anyway, yesterday evening was knitting group in Leamington. It was a nice evening and at first I hoped Steve and I could go on the bike, but then it occurred to me that although I'd be okay on the way there, getting back after sitting and knitting for a couple of hours would be beyond my capabilities. It was a shame because I think Steve has been kind of itching to get on the bike for several days now. Still, he's gone out on it today for a big-long-ride which will probably make him a happy bunny.
I have a really nice time at the knitting group. Everyone's so friendly and welcoming. Carie helped me pick out some colours for the pockets on my knitting needle case, which was really good of her because I think left to my own devices I would have given up and just ordered the exact colours suggested on the example photo on the pattern, even though I don't much like them (too much pink, not to mention a hurts-the-eyes green). Carie is really good at colours and likes choosing
Click the picture to see the photo of the yarns we chose on my flickr stream, with notes.
Today I'm pretty shattered, after not just yesterday evening but also a rather energetic night during which I beat Steve up three times. I was dreaming about being chased and, unusually for me, being caught and having to fight off the vampire/grizzly bear/marshmallow blob/killer ants/etc. I've told him to just shove me back. He says he did. Oh well. I'll probably get used to the idea that I don't have the whole bed to myself just as soon as he takes me back home and I have a whole bed to myself again.

I made you an elaborate intro, but the cat ate it. So, let's just get right into it. It's This Week in Videogame Blogging!
On Gamasutra, Douglas Lynn draws a line between the "game" and the "game experience," citing the latter as a more all-encompassing, multisensory interaction. Over on Video Game Tourism, Eron Rauch delineates the four major types of In-Game Photography.
Meanwhile, Kotaku's Patricia Hernandez boldly (and many would say, correctly) asserts that there is no such thing as a game without politics:
Think, for instance, of player creation in any game. Look at the options. Are there women? What race or gender does the creation screen default to? How many options are there for people of color—be it skin tone, or hair type? What kind of dialects are available in the voicing options? Do the choices have race-specific abilities that make some characters innately better than others at certain things?
Depending on what's included or shown, we can glean the developer's stances about race and gender, amongst other things. Maybe they don't feel a race or gender is important enough to include, for example—typically, there will be excuses surrounding time and tech, but these are flimsy when you take a look at the superfluous things a developer does decide to include instead. Or maybe there's the uncomfortable implication that Caucasians are, as far as the game is concerned, actually more important than other races—and that's why there's more options for them.
On the subject of games and agendas, here's a piece on Spec Ops: The Line straight from the horse's mouth, as it were: a feature from narrative designer Richard Pearsey on the narrative objectives and process of the game.
Over on my old stomping grounds of PopMatters Moving Pixels, Jorge Albor offers us a profile on Molleindustria's Unmanned, in which players take on the role of a remote combat drone pilot:
Unmanned also takes the opportunity to chastise the mainstream games industry as a whole. In his blog on Gamasutra, Grek Costikyan is right to point out the game is boring and for a reason. Molleindustria divides Unmanned from games that beautify warfare through game design. Boredom serves a dual purpose of conveying the actual tedium of modern warfare (artfully portrayed in Sam Mendes's Jarhead) and expressing how "fun" can become a tool by which we again divide ourselves from the world around us.
Over at the Gameological Society, Steve Heisler takes us through the latest installment of his "Decadent" column with two examples of the escort adventure, ICO and Amy, noting the difference in player affect between the two. In a similar vein, Gamers With Jobs' Julian Murdoch wonders why more games don't address their older audiences:
I'm not a tabula rasa any more. I'm a grown-ass man. I have baggage. I've changed the diapers and sat through the meetings. I've made the grown-up choices to not buy the electric guitar, not upset the boss, not take off on a vacation I can't afford. I've made the all-too-adult choices to pay the mortgage, do the job, console the snot-nosed, feverish child and roll the garbage can down the driveway in the darkness of a frozen February morning.
These choices may not be noble, but they're at least, I hope, the quiet, subtle choices that separate me from the true assholes of the world. And they are, always, my starting point for any character I'm going to explore.
How can they not be?
I'm not suggesting that I long to actually play as Charles Bukowski or Tom Waits or Walter Mitty in a game. I don't want to play at being bitter and angry, grizzled by the world and its realities. What I want is a path. What I'm asking for is an actual answer. Where are the characters that take who I am today toward something more righteous? For every 12 year old inspired by Luke Skywalker to be better than they think they can be, there's a 45 year old middle-class father of two wondering where it all goes from here, wondering if there was more than a little nobility in Lando's loyalty to Cloud City, in Walt's descent into the dark.
As though in answer, Unwinnable's Steve Haske looked into the abyss of Animal Crossing and found a lot about consumer culture malaise there. That or he's wound up in a Todd Haynes film; it's difficult to tell.
Socks Make People Sexy (which is in the running for best blog title featured this week) offers up a long and rewarding essay on What makes Super Mother— errr, Mother 2 so super. And over at one of my favorite little blogs, Persona Matters, Johannes Koski takes us through the streets of Shibuya while extrapolating on concepts from Isaac Lenhart, and what it all has to do with The World Ends With You.
As a matter of fact, this was a good week for JRPG commentary all around, as Pixels or Death's Adam Harshberger reveals that he liked Xenoblade Chronicles enough to confide a few dark secrets in us. And GameInformer's Kimberley Wallace explores several design lessons we can still learn the grand old genre.
Josh Bycer writes of the plot holes of Diablo 3. Meanwhile, Unwinnable's Sam Machkovech swaps out plot holes for manholes (see that seamless transition there?) in lamenting poor Seattle's lot as a center of the game industry with surprisingly few game locations to its name:
Upon booting [Deadlight], the developer's name flashes: Tequila Works. Who is that, who is that, who is that… oh. A video game developer in Spain. Spain? Microsoft works down the block, yet they couldn't even bother to pitch this Seattle-zombie game to a local.
[…]What a blown opportunity for cool game design–Seattle actually has an underground city, destroyed in a massive fire over a century ago. Modern downtown Seattle is built on top of it; look down in sewer grates while walking around town, and you'll see little red lights that light the underground way for paid tours and enterprising junkies.
Instead of capitalizing on a weird bit of Seattle history, Tequila Works copy+pastes a bunch of pipes and figuratively shouts, "Hey, low-rent Ninja Turtles!"
A couple of Kickstarter pieces to end off this roundup (ohoho! I'm on a roll!). The first is an interview with GaymerCon founder Matt Conn on his successful fundraising. The second is this unmissable feature on Gamasutra on a Kickstarter which didn't succeed:
Crawford hoped to raise money to create Balance of the Planet, a serious environmental simulator that would teach players about sustainable energy, pollution, and other world issues. With his funding, he planned to make the game available for free on the web, and Crawford suspects that's one of the main reasons why his campaign went down in flames. After all, why would backers pledge money for a product that'll eventually be free?
"As it turns out, my model was only right for what Kickstarter used to be," said Crawford. "That is, Kickstarter used to be a semi-charitable operation in which people could assist worthy creative projects that might not make it commercially, but still ought to be done. But in the area of games and comics, this is no longer the case."
I think I better wrap this TWIVGB up before the catbeast chews through any more wires. Have a pleasant week, all of you out there in Readerland, and be sure to tweet and email us your submissions. Oh, and if you haven't yet, check out Alan Williamson's revival of the Blogs of the Round Table! And yes, you can submit the same article for BoRT and TWIVGB, so you have no excuses, really.

Mary Albert: Ice and Snow and Many Hats
Feb 05, 2013 | by Joseph Blumberg | Dartmouth Now
By her own admission, Mary Albert, Thayer '83, wears many hats in the pursuit of her three loves: education, science, and engineering. The common threads running through them are ice and snow.
Albert has been on the Dartmouth faculty for five years, but her history with the institution is much longer. She spent 30 years just up the road as a senior research engineer at the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) and she earned a pair of degrees from Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth.
"When the people here at Thayer heard I was retiring from CRREL, they said, 'Why don't you come and join us here?'" says Albert. "I said I'd be delighted to, because I wasn't really ready to sit home and knit."
Now a professor of engineering at Thayer School, she maintains an unwavering commitment to mentoring and teaching that may go back to her pre-CRREL stint as a Woodstock High School math teacher. "I think the next generation of scientists and engineers are really important for all of us, and when I was working at CRREL, I'd always have Dartmouth students working on my projects," Albert says.
Currently, Albert has graduate students working toward master's and PhD degrees, and "a herd of undergraduates." She has established the Ice and Climate Seminar series, which provides an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students to get practice in speaking about their research in a collegial, interdisciplinary setting. "The Ice and Climate seminars enhance cross-campus communication and partnerships; it is a monthly meeting where students and faculty from engineering, earth science, and other departments can share ideas, get input on their research, and potentially form new partnerships."

The Malti-poo is a mix of Maltese and Toy or Miniature Poodle and may inherit the two breeds' traits of being affectionate, and friendly. They are meant to be companion dogs, creating strong bonds with their people. As with any mixed breed, they may or may not have the desirable traits of each parent breed. The Malti-poo is meant to be outgoing, friendly, and low-shedding.
Malti-poos are alert, have expressive faces, and have a puppy-like demeanor. They are generally up to 14 inches tall and can weigh anywhere from 5-15 pounds. Coats vary from straight to curly or wavy and are usually white or cream, although the color varies as well. They should be brushed several times a week to prevent matting and snarls.
In common with both parent breeds, Malti-poos are energetic, smart, and spunky. Both Poodles and Maltese are agile and trainable, especially with reward-based training. The Malti-poo is always up for a game or a good chase around the yard. A brisk walk once or twice a day is also beneficial. Because of his size and energy level, he can live almost anywhere and is perfectly happy in a small apartment.
Malti-poos become extremely attached to their family and don't like being left alone. They are prone to separation anxiety and may become destructive or depressed when separated from their people. They do best in a household where someone is with them most of the time.
Since both the Poodle and Maltese are intelligent breeds, Malti-poos may inherit that intelligence. With the right kind of training, they may do well in agility and obedience trials, love learning tricks, and make good therapy dogs. But they're also sensitive and only respond well to positive, kind training. Reward him with treats and enthusiastic praise and he'll look forward to training sessions. He'll learn quickly and will proudly show off all his tricks.

Golden Greek Tortoise Feeding
Variety is key when talking about what to feed your new Golden Greek tortoise. It isn't really about one thing, it is about feeding a wide variety of high-quality greens and veggies. By feeding a variety you will ensure not to "overdose" your tortoise on certain things. For example, spinach is bad. If you feed spring mix that contains spinach as one of 15 ingredients, it will not be too much where you need to worry about spinach. If all that you ever feed is spring mix, then you have a problem. Turtle store uses a mixture we chop daily of Romaine, Kale, Dandelion, Spring Mix, Endive, Collard, Mustard, and Beet Greens. In addition, we soak our mazuri tortoise chow in water mixed with a 50:50 ratio of calcium with D3 AND Vionate (a multi-vitamin and mineral powder).
Golden Greek Tortoise Care
Caring for a Golden Greek tortoise is moderate a task, so long as you invest the time to learn. Greeks are fairly small tortoises and therefore only require a small habitat, at full maturity of say 3×5′, though larger is always better. Multiple female Greek tortoises may be housed together in groups of up to 6, but size should be 4.5 cubic feet larger per female. Using a tortoise table, or tortoise house kit will work, just pay close attention to temperature and humidity. A baby tortoise, in general, will need higher humidity as the main variable for success.
Our biologist has compiled a fantastic golden greek tortoise care guide. Please be sure to view all aspects of golden greek tortoise care at the pages below:
- Baby Golden Greek tortoise

Golden Greek tortoise habitat
Baby Greeks can exist in something as small as a 24×12″ sweater box. Keeping humidity high is key, so these work. Using a fish tank is not recommended but also can work if set up properly. You will want to cover the sides so that the tort cannot see out, as that will cause he or she to become anxious and constantly try to escape via the clear see-thru side(s). We like to use the 24″x15″x48″long PVC style single glass front reptile cages available at reptilebasics. For UVB fitting them out with a 36″ T5 10.0 fixture is easy.
Greek tortoises and humidity
Humidity is important with all baby tortoise species, including the Testudo tortoise family. Baby Greek tortoises require humidity in the area of 75%. When kept indoors, the habitats tend to be on the dryer side and therefore will require some work to increase the humidity where need be. Using a lid, or some type of closed system will help tremendously.
Here at the Turtle store, we raise all of our baby Testudo family torts (Russians, Greeks, Egyptians, Marginated, etc) in closed systems with high humidity and LOW air movement. From years of breeding Golden Greek tortoise, we now have mastered the art of raising these beautiful Golden Greek tortoise hatchlings.
Golden Greek tortoise temperature
Baby Greek tortoises should be kept with an ambient temperature of 86 degrees. A cold spot of 80 is fine and a warm spot of 95 is also nice, however, the ambient temp remains the most important. Here at Turtle store, our main concern is the ambient temp and not getting too cold. We focus more on this than the temperature gradient that is so widely talked about. Finding that the tortoises' theme to thrive with a median temperature of 86, we now maintain this throughout our daytime enclosure temperatures. Evening temps are allowed to drop into the high 70s, however with very slow moving, humid air, it seems a tad warmer and "muggier" for the tortoises.
Golden Greek tortoise for sale – Greek tortoise water
Giving your baby Greeks access to water is preferred, and soaking daily is required. Soak your baby tortoise in a shallow soaking dish with opaque sides so the tortoise cannot see out. Soak for 10 minutes in 85-88 degree warm water once daily. Typically soaking your tortoise and then placing them directly atop their pile of greens and Mazuri is best each morning. Establishing a daily routine when possible will benefit your tortoise a great deal.
Golden Greek UVB lighting
UVB light exposure is extremely important for all tortoises, including baby Golden Greek tortoises. We recommend a Reptisun UVB 10.0 lamp, T5 (tube style). Screw in lamps like the cheap spirals are not recommended and really do not have much of a radius of coverage. Think about the tortoise being outside, getting constant UVB and UVA from every angle. Now, think about the exposure they will get in their habitat inside or outside your home, and try to make them similar. Not easy, is it? Using a T5 high output lamp will give you the best scenario. Using the 10% lamp is good, however for distances 15-24″ above the tortoise, a 12% lamp is recommended. Arcadia UVB lamps are the best in our opinion, though a tad more pricey, they also last twice as long.
Golden Greek Tortoise Appearance
The Golden Greek tortoise is a small to medium sized tortoise, originating from Greece. Golden to tan in color, the Golden Greek tortoise slightly resembles the Egyptian tortoise, but is much larger. Greek tortoises are also known as "spurred thigh tortoises" because of the visible tubercles or "spurrs" on their legs.
Golden Greek Tortoises substrate
For substrate, we recommend a nice mixture of 50:50 potting soil and potting mix (organic). Be sure there are no additives or fertilizers included as that could kill your tort. Baby Greek tortoises do burrow so providing 4″ of substrate is recommended and spraying it down with a pressure sprayer daily is great. Spraying the soil and your tort(s) in the morning to simulate a morning dew so to speak works create. One added but important benefit of doing this is creating a super humid microclimate for your tortoise should they choose to burrow. It is in these microclimates in which baby tortoise exists in the wild. Remember not to call the Greek tort a Greek turtle or greek turtle for sale, it's a tortoise!
Golden Greek Tortoise Size
Golden Greeks are a relatively small breed of tortoise. At max, they reach 8 inches in length. Males are often smaller than their female counterpart.Golden Greek Tortoise Lifespan
The Golden Greek tortoise lives a long life. It is important to consider this when purchasing a golden greek tortoise for sale. They can live for about 125 years if properly cared for.

So, United States has a new president, and you're all.. fired! Not being a resident there, I have but my friends' feedback to go by, and things seem - well, upset is an understatement. People are more upset than they should be, all the while (generally) not aware how upset they should be.
The part where doom'sday packages were sold in the event *either* candidate won, that was probably the best I heard from the rally there. For the salesman, it was a win-win no matter how you looked at it, and for a common american it was a tragedy whichever candidate finally got elected.
Electing a black president was a precedent, electing a retarded president is not a precedent and ultimately all that america now got is Bush vol.2. And, as past has shown, having a retard for a president doesn't have much of an impact. Those that at this point are eager to point at Iraq war should think about the bigger picture, in which no war would've taken place if Bush was the *only* politician there to support it. On the same lane of thought, Trump likely doesn't know of any countries outside the states anyway.
Why this development and the Brexit mentioned in the title are upsetting, is primarily because in order to keep us from falling back into the darkages, there needs to be political and cultural pressure, woven into a thick web of cooperative relations. As soon as you grant any one individual a true freedom, they will begin to bash rocks together. You don't have to take my word for it, just keep it in mind and look for examples of free populations not bound by laws or regulations. You will see them bash rocks together.
I think Hungary electing that pig Orban was a major disaster, and things do not look good in Poland either, but if we compare the influence US has to the influence that Hungary does not have, you can see why one may be a more significant setback for humanity than the other. Exactly same goes to the hilarious fiasco that happened in UK.
Here I want to quote the words of the leader of a local pro-bible/anti-nigger party: (On the news of Trump having been successfully elected) "I haven't smiled this much since Brexit, I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time from happiness".
I brought that quote to show that no matter which side of the opinion you may stand at, these events are very clearly and very strongly connected.
I'd use the opportunity to take a quick look at Turkey as well. Still not admitting their own local holocaust, still interested in joining the EU (well, actually, latest news may provide some conflicting pieces on that, but lets go by the past trend here), and still with a populist radical asshat for a president.
Greece is already old news.
If things are shit outside the western world we don't need to create more instability inside our alliances and unions. The popculture icon and a local hero Putin has been visibly happy about every single development listed in this post (temporary skirmish with the sultan aside), you may want to ask yourself why.

VONSCH Speeds the Development of Control Systems for Solar Inverters and Battery Chargers
- Product development time reduced by one year
- New product R&D accelerated via model reuse
- Number of hardware prototypes reduced
Government incentives for renewable energy and increased consumer awareness of the advantages of solar power are sparking demand for efficient solar battery chargers and solar inverters. VONSCH has developed two product lines to meet this demand: FOTO CHARGER DC 48 and FOTO CONTROL 1f. The FOTO CHARGER product uses direct current (DC) output of solar panels to charge batteries, and FOTO CONTROL 1f products convert the DC output of a solar panel or battery into alternating current (AC) that can be directed to the grid or used locally.
VONSCH used Model-Based Design to accelerate the development of control software for its solar inverter and battery charger products.
"Model-Based Design significantly shortened our development time, enabling us to meet the target launch date despite changing requirements caused by new legislation," says Dr. Jakub Vonkomer, research and development software engineer at VONSCH. "We used our Simulink models for both simulation and code generation, which let us focus on our core design challenges, not C-language implementation specifics."
In the past, VONSCH engineers wrote control software for three-phase inverters by hand in C, which meant they had to wait until hardware was available before software development could start. This approach was feasible when VONSCH had only a few product types sold in larger numbers. As VONSCH began specializing in custom power electronics solutions, the team needed a more efficient process to design a wider variety of products to be sold in smaller numbers.
To capitalize on planned government subsidies for solar power, VONSCH wanted to complete product development before the subsidies took effect. However, numerous legislative changes led to a rapidly shifting market, with solar panel providers flooding VONSCH with additional requirements based on the newest legislation.
To speed development while accommodating changing requirements and to manage the added complexity introduced by the single-phase inverters in their newer products, VONSCH needed a way to simulate their control algorithms early in the development process—before hardware was available—and to generate code once the hardware was ready.
VONSCH engineers used Model-Based Design to model, simulate, and generate code for the FOTO CONTROL and FOTO CHARGER control systems.
Working in Simulink® and Simscape Electrical™, a team of three software engineers created models of electrical systems including transistors, diodes, and batteries. They simulated this model to identify switching transients, optimize values for passive elements, and validate filter behavior with various switching frequencies.
The group modeled multiple controllers in Simulink, including algorithms for DC voltage regulation, power limiting, and maximum power point tracking (MPPT).
Before hardware was available, the team ran closed-loop simulations with the plant models to verify the initial controller designs.
Once the prototype hardware was ready, the team refined their plant models based on initial hardware tests and used Embedded Coder® to generate C code from their Simulink models for a Texas Instruments™ Piccolo™ microcontroller.
Following hardware tests in the lab, they used MATLAB® to plot data exported from the microcontroller and performed spectral analysis with Signal Processing Toolbox™.
Through several iterations, the team refined and optimized their controller designs in Simulink based on the test result analysis, regenerated code for the target microcontroller, and retested on prototype hardware.
Even with delays caused by requirements changes during development, the team met its planned timeline for development of the FOTO CHARGER product and simultaneous development of 375-volt and 48-volt versions of FOTO CONTROL, all of which are now in production.
- Product development time reduced by one year. "Using Model-Based Design, our small engineering team completed development in just 6 months instead of the 18 months we had initially estimated," says Vonkomer. "We were faster because we had the ability to rapidly debug our algorithms, verify components through simulation, and focus on the core design rather than on processor peripherals and low-level implementation details."
- New product R&D accelerated via model reuse. "For the FOTO CHARGER product, we reused our MPPT algorithms and numerous Simulink models from FOTO CONTROL," Vonkomer says. "MATLAB and Simulink helped us accelerate research and development by a factor of three while giving us the freedom to switch to another hardware platform if we ever want to."
- Number of hardware prototypes reduced. "Running simulations of the plant models we built with Simulink and Simscape Electrical enabled us to improve and optimize our hardware design before it was finalized," says Vonkomer. "The simulations eliminated several iterations of preprototype hardware."

Mary "Marg" Helgenberger (born November 16, 1958) is an American film and television actress known for her roles as Catherine Willows in the CBS drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation from 2000 to 2012 also in 2014 and 2015 (TV movie finale), and as K.C. Koloski in the ABC drama China Beach, which earned her the 1990 Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
Early Life[]
Marg (pronounced with a hard "G", unlike the name Marge) Helgenberger was born in Fremont, Nebraska and was raised in North Bend, Nebraska. Marg graduated from North Bend Central High School. She is the daughter of Mary Kay (née Bolte), a nurse, and Hugh Helgenberger, a meat inspector. She is of Irish and German descent and had a Roman Catholic]upbringing. Marg has one older sister named Ann and a younger brother named Curt. One of her first jobs, as a teenager, was spending her summers and her Christmas breaks working as a "deboner" at the meat packing plant where her father was employed. Helgenberger played the French horn in her high school (North Bend Central High School) marching band. Until she went to college, Helgenberger wanted to be a nurse like her mother. Marg attended Kearney State College (now the University of Nebraska at Kearney) in Kearney, Neb., then attended Northwestern University's School of Speech in Evanston, Illinois (now the School of Communication) and earned a B.S. degree in Speech and Drama.[6]
Helgenberger at the 1990 Emmy Awards, Helgenberger got her start as a nightly weather girl at KHGI-TV Kearney, Nebraska while attending college (her name was changed by the producer to Margi McCarty). During the summer she also worked as a deboner at her father's meat packing plant. After portraying the role of Blanche Dubois in a university production of A Streetcar Named Desire, she was bitten by the acting bug.
While performing in a summer of 1981 NU campus productions of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, in which she played Kate, Marg was spotted by a scout for the TV soap opera Ryan's Hope. Soon after completing college, Marg landed her first professional acting role on the long-running ABC Daytime soap opera, playing uptight amateur cop Siobhan Ryan Novak (1982–1986), a role previously played by Sarah Felder and Ann Gillespie. Helgenberger departed Ryan's Hope in January 1986 and was subsequently replaced in the role of Siobhan by Carrell Myers.
Helgenberger guest starred in an episode of ABC's mystery/detective series based on Robert B. Parker's Spenser novels, Spenser: For Hire, NBC's legal drama Matlock and ABC's drama thirtysomething. She also played a regular role as Natalie Thayer, opposite Margot Kidder and James Read, on CBS' six-episode drama comedy series Shell Game (1987).
Karen Charlene "K.C." Koloski, a heroin-addicted prostitute on the ABC war drama series China Beach, was Marg's first prominent role. Her performance from 1988 to 1991 on the highly-acclaimed dramatic series won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 1990.
Meanwhile, in 1989, Marg made her feature film debut in a leading role as an all-night answering service operator in one segment of the Wheat brothers' horror anthology After Midnight. She followed it up with a role in Steven Spielberg's romantic comedy-drama Always (starring Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, and John Goodman), a modern version of the original 1943 Victor Fleming film A Guy Named Joe.
During the early to mid 1990s, Marg played roles in Michael Bortman's adaptation of Robert Boswell's novel, Crooked Hearts (1991; with Peter Berg, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Noah Wyle and Peter Coyote), Gregg Champion's action comedy The Cowboy Way (1994), in which she played Woody Harrelson's love interest, and had a small role as Capt. Alison Sinclair in Michael Bay's action comedy film starring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, Bad Boys (1995). She also played Dr. Laura Baker, a molecular biologist, in Roger Donaldson's sci-fi thriller, Species (1995), and reprised the role in the sequel, Species II (1998).
During that time, TV viewers could also catch her in such television films Blind Vengeance, Lifetime's Death Dreams, PBS' historical documentary Not on the Frontline (as a narrator) and CBS' In Sickness and in Health. Additionally, she was also seen opposite Bruno Kirby in I'll Be Waiting, a segment of Showtime's Fallen Angels helmed by Tom Hanks, and as a novelist on the ABC miniseries Stephen King's The Tommyknockers opposite Jimmy Smits. She was also seen in the CBS miniseries When Love Kills: The Seduction of John Hearn and made her first collaboration with director Peter Weller in Showtime's Partners. After playing a recurring role as George Clooney's love interest on NBC's medical drama ER, Marg became David Caruso's sex-starved widow on Showtime's Elmore Leonard's Gold Coast, helmed by Weller, and starred as a woman involved with Steven Seagal in the 1997 action film Fire Down Below. She also starred as a talk show host on Murder Live and portrayed the furious sibling to Steven Weber's character on Showtime's miniseries about the elusive Gulf War Syndrome, Thanks of a Grateful Nation. She also starred opposite Ann-Margret in Showtime's Happy Face Murders.
In 2000, Helgenberger made a guest appearance in the Valentine's Day episode of Frasier, in which Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) finally wears down his dad Martin's resistance and gets the older man to accompany him to the opera. Actually, this invitation is but a smokescreen, so that Frasier can "accidentally" run into his newest dream girl Emily (Helgenberger).
Helgenberger scored another big break when she snagged the co-starring role of Catherine Willows, a former show girl employed as a blood spatter analyst on the CBS drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Her performance as the female lead has earned her two Emmy Awards and two Golden Globe nominations. In 2005, she and her fellow cast members won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
When CSI first started filming, Helgenberger visited the Clark County Coroner's Office to see how things were really done. She even viewed autopsies that were being performed. She says that she often plays hacky sack with the guys during their free time on set. Helgenberger got the chance to act with her husband, Alan Rosenberg, again when he guest starred on CSI, Season 5 ("Weeping Willows") and Season 7 ("Leaving Las Vegas").
During her stint on the hit show, Marg supported Julia Roberts in the film Erin Brockovich and portrayed Patsy Ramsey in the CBS miniseries about the mysterious murder of 6-year-old beauty pageant contestant JonBenét Ramsey in Perfect Murder, Perfect Town. She also starred as Dennis Quaid's wife and Scarlett Johansson's mother in writer-director Paul Weitz's romantic drama comedy In Good Company (2004) and appeared on Pond's Smooth Perfection Skin Cream 2005 print ad.
In 2005, Universal Studios submitted Helgenberger in the best supporting actress category to the Oscars for her performance as Ann Foreman in the 2004 movie In Good Company. In 2007, she was featured in the movies Conan: Red Nails (as the voice of Princess Tascela) and Mr. Brooks. In Mr. Brooks her character's daughter is played by Danielle Panabaker, the sister of Kay Panabaker, who plays Catherine Willow's daughter on CSI.
In mid 2006, Helgenberger's hometown of North Bend, Nebraska, population 1213, renamed the street on which Helgenberger had her childhood home "Helgenberger Avenue."
In animation, she lent her voice as Greek goddess Hera on DC Universe straight-to-video feature Wonder Woman.
Helgenberger is the unrequited love interest of the bespectacled amphibian Buddy in Mark Heath's Spot the Frog comic strip.
In 2008, she renewed her CSI contract with CBS for 2 additional years. In July 2010, her contract was again renewed for an 11th season with CSI. Following William Petersen's departure from CSI, Helgenberger became one of the two highest paid actors in any of the CSI shows (Vegas, Miami, NY), earning $375,000 per episode, the same as David Caruso, and $25,000 more per episode than Laurence Fishburne. Helgenberger will only be appearing in 12 episodes of the new CSI Season. The reason Helgenberger is leaving CSI is that she wants to return to the stage. The producers have left the door open for Helgenberger if she wants to return, which she says she might do if she can. Helgenberger will be leaving the CSI cast in January 25, 2012, during a two-part episode ("Ms. Willows Regrets" and "Willows in the Wind"). The last one was the most watched episode of the season with 14.26 million viewers.
Helgenberger also starred as Lilian Strand in the short-lived series Intelligence alongside Josh Holloway and Meghan Ory, then it was cancelled after one season. Additionally, she briefly returned to CSI as Catherine for the 300th episode. In February 2015, she joined the third season of Under the Dome.
On May 13, 2015, Helgenberger decided to return for her final cast member along with William Petersen, after George Eads and Elisabeth Shue where leaving CSI, when opting not to renew their contact and will not appear in TV movie and series finale "Immortality".
Media spotlight[]

If we were really serious about educational technology, we would… [here are 10 to get you started]
- show students how to edit their privacy settings and use groups in Facebook instead of banning online social networks because they're 'dangerous' and/or 'frivolous';
- teach students to understand and contribute to the online information commons rather than 'just saying no' to Wikipedia;
- put a robust digital learning device into every student's hands (or let them bring and use their own) instead of pretending that we live in a pencil, notebook paper, and ring binder world;
- photo © 2006 Michael Surran | more info (via: Wylio)integrate digital learning and teaching tools into subject-specific preservice methods courses rather than marginalizing instructional technology as a separate course;
- understand the true risk of students encountering online predators and make policy accordingly instead of succumbing to scare tactics by the media, politicians, law enforcement, computer security vendors, and others;
- find out the exact percentage of our schools' families that don't have broadband Internet access at home rather than treating the amorphous 'digital divide' as a reason not to assign any homework that involves use of the Internet;
- treat seriously and own personally the task of becoming proficient with the digital tools that are transforming everything instead of nonchalantly chuckling about how little we as educators know about computers;
- recognize the power and potential (and limitations) of online learning rather than blithely assuming that it can't be as good as face-to-face instruction;
- tap into and utilize the technological interest and knowledge of students instead of pretending that they have nothing to contribute;
- better educate and train school administrators rather than continuing to turn out new leaders that know virtually nothing about creating, facilitating, and/or sustaining 21st century learning environments;
- and so on…
What else could we add to the list?
If we were really serious about [educational technology issue], we would [?] instead of [?].
It's almost 2011. Isn't it time for us to get serious about educational technology?

On February 18, 1889, the Mercantile Trust Company of New York filed in the circuit court of the United States for the southern district of Ohio its bill against the Kanawha & Ohio Railway Company. The bill alleged that on May 1, 1886, the defendant, the Kanawha & Ohio Railway Company, issued a series of bonds, and on the same day executed to the Mercantile Trust Company its mortgage or deed of [152 U.S. 590, 591] trust to secure the payment of the principal and interest of such bonds. It alleged a default in the payment of interest due on January 1, 1889, as well as the existence of a large floating debt, and prayed the appointment of a receiver, and a decree of foreclosure and sale. On February 19th the defendant entered its appearance, and on the same day a receiver was appointed, who qualified, and took possession of the mortgaged property. Subsequently, and on July 24th, an amended bill was filed, making additional parties defendant the Toledo & Ohio Central Railway Company and the Shawnee & Muskingum River Railway Company. On October 26th a decree pro confesso was entered against the latter company. On October 30th, Erwin Davis, the present appellant, filed a petition alleging that he was the owner of more than $100,000 of the bonds secured by the mortgage or deed of trust sought to be foreclosed in this suit, and also the owner of more than $500,000, par value, of each class of stock of the defendant the Kanawha & Ohio Railway Company, to wit, first and second preferred, and common, and asking for the removal of the receiver on the ground of his incompetency, and the appointment of some capable and disinterested person as such receiver. On the same day a decree pro confesso was entered against the Kanawha & Ohio Railway Company. On November 13th the petition of Davis for the removal of the receiver, and the appointment of another in his stead, was denied, and at the same time this order was made: 'It is further ordered that said Erwin Davis be and is permitted to intervene herein, and that he have liberty to be heard upon any and all proceedings herein for the protection of his interests as bondholder and stockholder of the Kanawha & Ohio Railway Company.'
On November 29th the Toledo & Ohio Central Railway Company filed its consent to the entry of a decree according to the prayer of the amended bill of complaint, and that the 'cause proceed in like manner as if an order pro confesso had been duly entered against it more than thirty days prior' thereto. On December 5th Davis filed a second petition, reciting his interest as before, and in addition alleging the existence of certain prior mortgage liens upon the property described in the plaintiff's bill, or part of it; that in the bill there was claimed that the Kanawha & Ohio Railway company had a floating debt of about $330,000; that since the filing of the bill that company had confessed judgment in favor of the Kanawha Improvement Company in a court of West Virginia for the sum of $ 285,232.20; and that as a bondholder and stockholder of Kanawha & Ohio Railway Company, on behalf of himself and all other stockholders and creditors, he had filed a bill in the circuit court of the United States for the district of West Virginia, attacking such judgment so confessed, on the ground of fraud, and praying that it be canceled, set aside, and held for naught. He attached a copy of this bill, and closed the petition in these words: [152 U.S. 590, 592] 'Your petitioner respectfully represents that he is advised that no decree of sale of the property included in said mortgage should be decreed until a reference is had to ascertain the liens which shall have been first ascertained thereon, the amounts thereof, and the order of their priorities; that a sale should not be decreed until the validity of the judgment referred to shall have been first adjudicated.
On the same day, to wit, December 5, 1889, a decree of foreclosure and sale was entered. That decree found a default in the payment of interest, and decreed a sale unless such interest should be paid within 30 days. At the close of the decree was this entry: 'Thereupon, came the intervening petitioner, Erwin Davis, and prayed the court for the allowance of an appeal, with supersedeas, from the foregoing decree, and the court thereupon refused the appeal.'
Subsequently, an application was made to Mr. Justice Harlan, of this court, for an appeal; and on February 11, 1890, it was allowed. The only security given on this appeal was a cost bond, in the sum of $500, executed by Davis and his surety to the appellee, the Mercantile Trust Company, alone. This bond was approved February 27, 1890, and a citation was then signed by Mr. Justice Harlan; the citation running to the Mercantile Trust Company, the Kanawha & Ohio Railway Company, the Toledo & Ohio Central Railway Company, and the Shawnee & Muskingum River Railway Company. This was served on the Mercantile Trust Company, the Toledo & Ohio Central Railway Company, and the Shawnee & Muskingum River Railroad Company, but not on the Kanawha & Ohio Railway Company, the mortgagor. No supersedeas bond having been executed, [152 U.S. 590, 593] a sale was had under the decree on March 4, 1890, and the property struck off to Nelson Robinson and William B. Post for the sum of $505,000. On April 7, 1890, this sale was confirmed, and a deed ordered. From such order of confirmation, Davis prayed an appeal, which was allowed. On such appeal, also, a cost bond to the Mercantile Trust Company, alone, was given, and a citation issued, running only to the Mercantile Trust Company.
Walter S. Logan and Chas. M. Demond, for appellant.
Thomas Thacher, for appellee.
Mr. Justice BREWER, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.
As a preliminary matter, the standing of the appellants in this court is challenged. In the court below he was not a party to the record, either plaintiff or defendant; was never substituted for either; filed no bill, cross bill, or answer; but was simply permitted to intervene, with liberty to be heard upon any and all proceedings for the protection of his interests as bondholder and stockholder. Assuming, under the authority of Williams v. Morgan, 111 U.S. 684, 698 , 4 S. Sup. Ct. 638, that this gave him a right of appeal from any decision of the circuit court affecting his interests, it did not change the ordinary rules respecting appeals, one of which is that all the parties to the record, who appear to have any interest in the order or ruling challenged, must be given an opportunity to be heard on such appeal. The rule, and the reasons therefor, are fully stated in Masterson v. Herndon, 10 Wall. 416, and restated in Hardee v. Wilson, 146 U.S. 179, 181 , 13 S. Sup. Ct. 39, and need not, therefore, be again repeated. See, also, Inglehart v. Stansbury, 151 U.S. 68 , 14 Sup. Ct. 237.
In this case the appellant has taken two appeals,-one from the decree, and the other from the order confirming the sale. These appeals being taken separately, each must stand or fall on its own merits. Noticing first the appeal from the order [152 U.S. 590, 594] of confirmation, it will be seen that the sale confirmed was of the mortgaged property to Robinson and Post for the sum of $505,000, of which sum $50,000 had been paid in cash by the purchasers, and the balance secured by a deposit of $1,069,000, first mortgage bonds of the Kanawha & Ohio Railway Company,-the bonds in suit. Who is more vitally interested in the question whether such sale and confirmation shall stand than these purchasers? If the sale be set aside, they lose the purchased premises, and all the profit which might result from their purchase, and assume all the risks and delay in recovering that which they have paid into court. In Kneeland v. Trust Co., 136 U.S. 89, 95 , 10 S. Sup. Ct. 950, this court said that 'supported by sound reasons are the following propositions: First, a party bidding at a foreclosure sale makes himself, thereby, a party to the proceedings, and subject to the jurisdiction of the court, for all orders necessary to compel the perfecting of his purchase, and with a right to be heard on all questions thereafter arising, affecting his bid, which are not foreclosed by the terms of the decree of sale, or are expressly reserved to him by such decree.'
Again, not only is the purchaser interested, but also the mortgagor. He may be satisfied with the sale which was made,-may believe that at no other sale would it be possible to realize so much in satisfaction of his indebtedness. At any rate, the setting aside of one sale, and the ordering of another, may affect, prejudicially or beneficially, his interests, and because of that he has a right to be heard upon the question of setting it aside. Now, the only party respondent to this appeal is the trustee. It is the only party named as obligee in the cost bond. The citation, in terms, runs to it, only; and there is no pretense that the mortgagor or the other defendants, or the purchasers at the sale, have ever been brought into this court to respond to this appeal. Manifestly, it would be the grossest injustice to attempt to determine the question of the validity of this sale in the absence of these so vitally interested parties.
Neither does the appeal from the decree stand in any better condition. In a decree for the foreclosure of a mortgage, the two parties principally and primarily interested are the mortgagee and the mortgagor. No third, party should be permitted [152 U.S. 590, 595] to disturb such a decree, unless and until both mortgagee and mortgagor are given an opportunity to be heard. The mortgagor may be unwilling that the decree should be set aside, notwithstanding irregularities in prior proceedings, for fear that on a subsequent hearing a larger sum may be decreed against him. It is not necessary, in any given case, to determine that his interests would or would not be promoted by the setting aside of the decree. It is enough that in that matter he has a direct interest, and because of this interest common justice requires that no change shall be made in the terms of that decree, nor shall it be set aside, without giving him a chance to be heard in its defense. Ordinarily, it may be presumed that all the parties to the record are interested, and so it is often said that all such parties must be joined as appellants or appellees, plaintiffs in error or defendants in error; but it is unnecessary to rest this case upon the mere fact that the mortgagor in this case was a party to the record,-the only defendant in the first instance. It was not only such a party, but is also one directly and vitally interested in the question whether he decree of foreclosure and sale shall stand, and yet it is not before us. The trustee is the only obligee named in the appeal bond, and while the citation, on its face, runs to all the parties to the record, it was not served on the mortgagor, the Kanawha & Ohio Railway Company; and that company has never been brought into this court, and never entered an appearance here. This is fatal to the appeal. The appellant seems to have assumed that he was authorized to represent the corporation mortgagor, and all the stockholders, but this is obviously a mistake. He was not by order of court substituted for the defendant mortgagor, nor was he allowed to represent the mortgagor, or to carry on its defense. The only authority given to him was to intervene for the protection of his personal interests as bondholder and stockholder. The corporation mortgagor still represented all the other stockholders, as did the trustee all the other bondholders; and while the appellant appears to have had a considerable interest, both as stockholder and bondholder, it was only a minor fraction. Out of 1,160 bonds, 1,069 (all but 91) were [152 U.S. 590, 596] tendered by the purchasers upon application for confirmation of sale; and, while he claims to be the owner of $1,500,000 of the stock, it appears that the total amount thereof was $12,200,000. So that, in fact, he was the owner of less than one-eleventh of the bonds, and one-eighth of the stock. No authority from these other bondholders or stockholders to him to act for them is shown. So that neither in fact nor in law was he representing the corporation mortgagor in this litigation; and as that mortgagor was interested in, and affected by, the decree of foreclosure and sale, it should have been made a party to this appeal, and brought into this court, and because of the failure so to do the appeal cannot be maintained.
For the reasons above given both appeals are dismissed.
Mr. Justice JACKSON did not hear the argument, or take any part in the decision of this case.

Here's the soundtrack. You know what to do.
So, Deadpool Max then. Kyle Baker does the art, David Lapham's on script duties. Never mind the fact that Deadpool is a Rob "Fucking!" Liefeld character turned comedy Wolverine turned corporate ubiquity – is the comic any good?
Bloody right it is!
(Yeah, okay, it's a little bit late to write about these books as if they're a fresh discovery, I know. As Marc Singer once said, "if you're going to review a new-release comic two weeks after it was a new release, you'd damn well better have something to talk about" – so, hey, just imagine how great this must be if I'm still willing to post it now! On Christmas Eve!)
