- Description
- Abstract: This Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based digital controller has been developed to improve the output of the frequency converter using Hardware Description Language. An attempt has been made to analyze converters using three modulation techniques namely sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM), delta modulation (DM) and trapezoidal modulation (TM) to reduce the harmonics. It has been found that for the Sine PWM, the total harmonic distortion factor (THD) is high when the output frequency is greater than input frequency. The output is improved with delta modulation scheme where the total harmonic distortion is found minimum as compare to the SPWM and TM techniques. The circuit has been tested qualitatively by observing various waveforms on digital storage oscilloscope (DSO). The overall system is compact and no external memory system is required. Tests have been carried out to show the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed method.

HIIT Classes
High Intensity Interval Training ('HIIT')
HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training, is a training technique in which you give all-out, one hundred percent effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short recovery periods. This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up, boosts your metabolism, burns more fat in less time and keeps burning fat after the class has finished!
You can go at your own pace in this class to suit your own fitness level. There is absolutely no pressure to keep up with the person in front. It's a fun, busy, class and enjoyed by all who take part.
"HIIT! Hey it is terrific!"
Adele is an excellent personal trainer. She takes time to listen to what her clients want to achieve and then puts into action a fun, challenging and varied programme combining cardio and strength exercises. Her home gym studio is packed with the latest and top quality equipment. She's got a great sense of humour and I always come away from her sessions feeling as though I have worked hard but had a lot of laughs too! I would highly recommend Adele to anyone wanting to regain a basic level of fitness as well as anyone looking to push their fitness to a higher level.

Error 18071, and Simulation with Voxel Mesh Geometry
FieldForcer posted a topic in Altair FekoHi All, I had .raw file that contained complex biological model, and I intended to perform time-domain simulation with voxel mesh. I imported voxel mesh in CADFEKO from following dialog box: I had recently imported the model, but Error 18071 stated that medium with labels existed in target model. As a result, all the dielectric media in original voxel mesh remained unrecognized. Currently, I am trying to import mesh of single part in model. I imported stl file of BrainWhiteMatter. However no triangles were detected as shown below. Generally I union everything, but here union of mesh file with Union1 can't be performed. Why doesn't FEKO see any triangle labels? How to make triangle labels known to FEKO? In lack of triangle labels, I can't assign dielectric media. I can't erroneously assume that media is already assigned by looking at color assignment. When I right-click on Triangle labels, I notice that Face medium of triangles is set to PEC. I tried to change it to dielectric Brain_White_Matter in Properties dialog box, but I could select only front and back medium. In practice, entire medium of mesh face should be White_Matter, but I can't see any option where I can select White_Matter. I have attached cfx file. What can be done? Thanks ahead of time, FIELD FORCER Attachments area Figures8Coil_MIDA.cfx

Excerpt from Timo Andres's Home Stretch (Nonesuch Records)
By Clara Yang
Timo Andres, piano, the Metropolis Ensemble, Released on 7/30/14.
The concepts of this piece and the piano writing bear similarities to the piece I will be recording.
"The piece is in three large sections which gradually accelerate: beginning in almost total stasis, working up to an off-kilter dance with stabbing accents, and ushering in a sturm-und-drang cadenza which riles itself up into a perpetual-motion race to the finish." -Andres

The New Age of Fitness
First and foremost I am not going to tell you that my training philosophy is the right way to go, every trainer out there has a different way to train and that is ok. I like to think of personal training as an art form. Every personal trainer's views and exercise selection are different. I have just been around the fitness industry for 15 years and I am starting to notice a change. And the clients that I train are starting to notice this new approach to fitness as well.
Exercise is all about whole body integration. Gone are the days of bodybuilding routines, where you focus on two body parts a day, now they are full body routines with a push exercise, followed by a pull exercise which the NSCA adopted in their training protocols years ago.
It is going down this path because research has shown that it is most effective. All your muscles are connected in different fascial lines- just read Anatomy Trains by Thomas Myers
Besides all of that most people hate exercise so they want to spend as little time as possible in the gym.
There are new equipment out there to make exercising more fun and also more challenging. I am going to list off a few in particular.
ViPR- ViPR stands for Vitality, Performance and Reconditioning, ViPR is meant to load the body and you are working in all sorts of different planes of motion that you just can't get from a bench.
The TRX Suspension Trainer and the TRX RIP Trainer- The TRX suspension trainer focuses more on proximal stability and distal mobility meaning every single exercise you do you are working the core the whole time. This makes you stronger than you ever felt possible and the RIP Trainer focuses more on dynamic mobility, so both of these tools kind of compliment each other. Also the TRX Suspension trainer was created by a Navy Seal how more bad-ass can you get?
Kettlebells- There is something with kettlebells that no one can put a finger on. Kettlebells make a person run faster, longer distances and lift heavier. This is called "What the hell effect" It's like you get your flexibility, strength and cardio all in one exercise like performing the kettlebell swing. Doesn't matter if you are young or old everyone can benefit from kettlebells that's why it's so vital in my training philosophy.
The Power Plate is an acceleration trainer. It looks like a vibration machine but it's not. One of the reasons is because it osculates in all three planes of motion(Up and down, side to side and front to back), and your typical vibration machine only vibrates in one. Also acceleration training is different because it allows to train the body with more ease than it would by just lifting loads such as dumbells. The Power Plate removes the load and replaces it with acceleration so if you want to make an exercise harder, just increase the acceleration. Just look at Newtons Force law F equals mxa.
By incorporating this type of training it would be a great solid base especially if you want to lift heavier in your three lifts, (bench press, deadlift and squat) or if you want to lose weight. (A client of mine lost 32 pounds in 12 weeks) or an athlete or you just want more fun in your workouts and get away from the "meathead" philosophy.

Instagram is a popular social platform, where you can share your memories with the help of photos. From last year, Facebook-owned Instagram has been continuously gaining more features. Now Instagram might be working on Voice and Video Calling Features which will be soon available for all users.
Instagram has shown some mysterious files that are pointing towards the new Voice and Video Calling Features. This feature will surely compete with apps such as Snapchat which has already faced criticism for its UI design.
As per the report by TechCrunch, the Instagram app includes a button icons for Voice Call and Video Call functionality. However, Instagram has not given any official confirmation regarding this new feature. But you can see the unreleased feature within the app code.
Also, XDA Developers said that the spotted some strings within the app which are directly defining the Video Chat feature. Back in January, the Video Call button was spotted while testing internally.
The strings clearly indicate that Instagram will have video chat option in its future update which will be similar to Snapchat. These strings will show a popup message of either the video chat has ended or the user has left the chat.
Earlier in December, Instagram has gained its alpha channel, where users can test the new feature. The alpha channel is just similar to WABetaInfo where the company first test the new feature. You can download and install alpha channel directly from here.
In addition to this feature, Instagram has recently introduced Type Mode feature to its stories section. Also, users can Archive and Highlight Instagram stories on their profile. Moreover, Instagram has a userbase of over 800 million users, with 500 million daily active users.
However, it is unclear when Instagram will launch this Voice and Video Calling Features. If you are seeing this feature on your device then let us know in our comment section below.

Frome Maths
This is a project my friend and I worked on for our work experience in year 12. We were tasked with developing a revision website for our school. I wrote the CSS code and my friend wrote the HTML code. We didn't use any JavaScript or anything of the sort to ensure compatibility with most devices. It's a pretty simple website that just includes links to different revision resources. The links have been redacted as they led to private files that belong to the school. The names of teachers and such have also been removed.

Song Sketch
Read My Eyes – Likha Hai Teri Aankhon Mein – Teen Deviyan
Songsketch done in different way along with the musical inputs by instrument analyst Anand Desai.
Teen Deviyan (1960) begins with a romantic commentary by none other than Ameen Sayani. He introduces the subject of the film in a comic way. He says if the romantic approaches become successful it is tuduk, but if these approaches fail then it is dhadaam!!!
Mohabbat ki kahani kuch aise hi hoti hai, kabhi baat banti hai kabhi banane se pehle hi bigad jaati hai.
He introduces Devdutt Anand (Dev Anand) the poet –
Aaiye aapko ek aise naujawan se milwayein jiski baat deviyon ke silsiley mein ek nahi, do nahi, teen baar banane waali hai. Yaane tuduk tuduk tuduk!! Aur har tuduk ke saath ek uljhan khadi ho jaayegi, kyunki ye bhola bechara kabhi kisiko na nahi keh paata!!!
So it is a story of a poet and his romancing with 3 different girls, with different backgrounds. The film also has an English version – Oh Boy and 3 Girls (which isn't available). A breezy romantic entertainer made in 1965 but looks chic and modern even today.
In this song Devdutt Anand is romancing the beautiful and homely Nanda whilst enjoying a picnic in the maize fields. We also have Jankidas as the farmer, offering the roasted bhuttas!! Nanda wants to know what Dev feels about her and she goes –
Likha hai teri aankhon mein kiska afsana
Agar isse samajh sako mujhe bhi samjhana
(Please please don't miss Dev and his antics throughout the song!!!)
Whose story is written in your eyes? (Am I there in those stories?)
Read my eyes if you can and let me know the story too!!
Here's what Anand Desai (AD) says –
Lata ; Kishore ; SD ; Majrooh; DevAnand & Nanda. I see a lot of RD touch in the orchestration
A completely "Joie de vivre" feeling both in the wordss and the orchestration.. SD again leaves his unique Phantom Skull Mark in this one..Group Violins frenzy for 0.6 seconds after which .. the Bongos Chakolas and Castanets create the effervescence… for the next 12 seconds with sharp violin staccatos till three Guitar strums shut them up. Here is SD's Phantom mark… at Likha hai teri aankhon mein one hears 7 single intermittent off cue strokes of the Dholak [ actually they almost sound syncopated] …between 0.13 to 0.17…. and then an orgasmic Dholak roll … SD Burman has cleverly used the Violin obligados, the rhythm pattern changes at 0.27 to a faster beat…
Jawab sa kisi tamanna ka
Likha toh hai magar adhura sa
Kaisi na ho meri har baat adhuri
Abhi hun aadha deewana
Referring to his book of poems, Nanda says she gets a hint of his yearning for someone, his desire for someone through his writings. But then that hint is vague. An incomplete desire, somewhat confused. But Dev has an answer for that too – All my desires, wishes are vague. I am yet just half crazy. I am not sure about my yearnings.
AD – Now see how he ends the antara. Three different sounds – One castanet shot, one dholak thapi and one bongo stroke, all in 2 seconds from 0.32 to 0.34 . This is wizardry!!
At the next interlude he has used 4 strokes of the stick on the Snare drum…and then again at the end of this one dholak stroke and a Guitar rub. He also introduced the Clarinet . Each Interlude is completely unique in terms of the instruments and pattern. Majrooh excels in the tease and tell.
Jo kuch nahi toh ye ishaare kyun
Thaher gaye mere sahaare kyun
Thoda sa haseenon ka sahara leke chalna
Hai meri aadat rozana
Dev walks lazily with the romantic support of Nanda's dupatta. Nanda still wants to know more about his romantic hints. Why do your actions indicate love towards me? You take my support to give way to your feelings. And Dev in all his charismatic way says – it is his habit to take support of the beauties who come in his life whatsoever. That's his routine!! (What a flirt!!!)
AD – Now the last interlude begins with a short Piano followed by an aggressive Acoustic Guitar somewhere at 3.11 he brings in his favorite Flute. The end is short and abrupt.
Yahan wahan fiza mein aawara
Abhi talak ye dil hai bechara
Dil ko tere toh hum khaak na samjhe
Tujhi ko humne pehchana
S D Burman brings a twist in the song towards the end. Instead of Lata Mangeshkar beginning the antara again, we have Kishore Kumar beginning it and telling the woes of a vagabond heart. Dev at his charismatic and charming best here, innocence dripping from his face says his poor heart doesn't have a destination as yet. It is still meandering in the surroundings. And Nanda gives in to his charms saying I don't know what your heart wants, I don't understand it but I understand you, I know you!!!
The picturisation of the song is as serene as Dev and Nanda. The charm of Dev and innocence of Nanda go along so well. Flirtatious, very modern and effective without any physical contact and yet the film was given 'A' certificate. It is said that the English version of the film had lyrics written by Harindranath Chattopadhyay while the music was given by R D Burman.
This alluring love story is written in Dev's magical eyes. If you want know, just read his eyes!!!

An increasingly popular bumper sticker reads, "Guns Don't Kill People -- RELIGION Kills People!" In light of recent events I would add religion kills young people: gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender young people.
Perhaps not directly, though. And religion is certainly not the only source of anti-gay sentiment in the culture. But it's hard to deny that religious voices denouncing LGBT people contribute to the atmosphere in which violence against LGBT people and bullying of LGBT youth can flourish.
The news is filled with the tragedies of teenaged boys who were gay and decided to end their living hell by committing suicide. Maybe they weren't even gay, but merely perceived to be by their peers, who harassed, taunted, and threatened them unmercifully.
These were real kids with real names. Asher Brown, an eighth grader in Texas, shot himself in the head after endless bullying by classmates and despite attempts by his parents to get school authorities to take his harassment seriously. Seth Walsh hung himself from a tree in his California backyard after relentless bullying by classmates. Asher and Seth were 13-years-old.
Billy Lucas, a 15-year-old high school freshman from Indiana, was only perceived to be gay. But the unrelenting bullying ended with him taking his own life. Seven students in one Minnesota school district have taken their own lives, including three teens.
With the exception of Brown in Texas these suicides are not happening in Bible Belt regions of the country, where we might predict a greater-than-usual regard for religious thought. Instead, they are occurring in states perceived to be more liberal on LGBT issues: California, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.
The case of Tyler Clementi is especially instructive about how far we have to go in accepting our gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender children. Clementi was an 18-year-old freshman at Rutgers University whose roommate secretly filmed a sexual encounter he had with another male student and then posted it on the internet.
Think about it. If Tyler had been heterosexual and instead filmed having sex with his girlfriend, it would still be an inappropriate invasion of his privacy and tasteless to post the video online. And it certainly would have been embarrassing for Tyler and the girl. But chances are he would have been the recipient of some congratulatory remarks from friends about what a stud he was. And if he was straight he likely wouldn't have contemplated -- not to mention successfully accomplished -- his own suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge.
No, Tyler was a victim -- not of an inner disturbance of depression or mental illness--but of an external and in part religiously inspired disdain and hatred of gay people.
Despite the progress we're making on achieving equality under the law and acceptance in society for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people, why this rash of bullying, paired with self-loathing, ending in suicide? With humility and heartfelt repentance I assert that religion -- and its general rejection of homosexuality -- plays a crucial role in this crisis.
On the one hand, Religious Right hatemongers and crazies are spewing all sorts of venom and condemnation, all in the name of a loving God. The second-highest-ranking Mormon leader, Boyd K. Packer, recently called same-sex attraction "impure and unnatural" in an act of unspeakable insensitivity at the height of this rash of teen suicides. He declared that it can be cured, and that same-sex unions are morally repugnant and "against God's law and nature."
Just as many gay kids grow up in these conservative denominations as any other. They are told day in and day out that they are an abomination before God. Just consider the sheer numbers of LGBT kids growing up right now in Roman Catholic, Mormon, and other conservative religious households. The pain and self-loathing caused by such a distortion of God's will is undeniable and tragic, causing scars and indescribable self-alienation in these young victims.
You don't have to grow up in a religious household, though, to absorb these religious messages. Not long ago I had a conversation with six gay teens, not one of whom had ever had any formal religious training or influence. Every one of them knew the word "abomination," and every one of them thought that was what God thought of them. They couldn't have located the Book of Leviticus in the Bible if their lives depended on it yet they had absorbed this message from the antigay air they breathe every day.
Add to that the Minnesota Family Council's Tom Prichard recently saying that the real cause of the suicides is "homosexual indoctrination," not antigay bullying, and that the students died because they adopted an "unhealthy lifestyle."
Susan Russell from All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California, points out how ludicrous these statements are in her "An Inch at a Time" blog:
Thirteen and fifteen year olds are not 'adopting a lifestyle,' they're trying to have a life! They're trying to figure out who they are, who God created them to be and what on earth to do with this confusing bunch of sexual feelings that they're trying to get a handle on. They need role models for healthy relationships -- not judgment and the message that they're condemned to a life of loneliness, isolation and despair.
On the other hand, what's the role of more mainline, more progressive denominations such as mainstream Christianity, Judaism, and Islam in these recent tragedies? Mostly silence. And just like in the days of the AIDS organization Act Up, "silence equals death."
It is not enough for good people -- religious or otherwise -- to simply be feeling more positive toward gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people. Tolerance and a live-and-let-live attitude beats discrimination and abuse by a mile. But it's not enough. Tolerant people, especially tolerant religious people, need to get over their squeamishness about being vocal advocates and unapologetic supporters of LGBT people. It really is a matter of life and death, as we've seen.
I learned this in my dealing with racism. It's not enough to be tolerant of other races. I benefit from a racist society just by being white. I don't ever have to use the "n" word, treat any person of color with discourtesy, or even think ill of anyone. But as long as I am not working to dismantle the systemic racism that benefits me, a white man, at the expense of people of color, I am a racist. And my faith calls me to become an anti-racist -- pro-active, vocal, and committed.
Some progressive religious groups -- the United Church of Christ, Unitarians, Metropolitan Community Church -- have long been advocates for LGBT people. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America has recently made great strides in welcoming gay clergy. And my own Episcopal Church has put itself at great risk on behalf of full inclusion of LGBT people in electing two openly gay priests to be bishops.
Still, even in these progressive churches, there is much to be done.
Cody J. Sanders, a Baptist minister and Ph.D. student in pastoral theology and counseling at Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Texas, recently wrote on the Religion Dispatches website about how important it is for churches to act:
Ministers who remain in comfortable silence on sexuality must speak out. Churches that have silently embraced gay and lesbian members for years must publicly hang the welcome banner. How long will we continue to limit and qualify our messages of acceptance, inclusion and embrace for the most vulnerable in order to maintain the comfort of those in our communities of faith who are well served by the status quo? In the current climate, equivocating messages of affirmation are overpowered by the religious rhetoric of hatred. Silence only serves to support the toleration of bullying, violence and exclusion. In the face of what has already become the common occurrence of LGBT teen suicide, how long can we wait to respond?

As good Christians and Jews we must work to change the religious thinking, rhetoric, and practice that communicates to our LGBT children that they are despised by their Creator. We must learn to object to anti-gay jokes the way we learned to tell our friends that we would not tolerate racist jokes. We must demand that our schools not only have antibullying policies, but that they follow through on stopping the practice of bullying. We need to lobby our congressional representatives for the Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA, H.R. 4530, S. 3390). And we must proclaim openly, loudly, and often that we love our children unconditionally in the way that God does -- always wanting the best and most healthy lives for them.
These bullying behaviors would not exist without the undergirding and the patina of respect provided by religious fervor against LGBT people. It's time for "tolerant" religious people to acknowledge the straight line between the official anti-gay theologies of their denominations and the deaths of these young people. Nothing short of changing our theology of human sexuality will save these young and precious lives.

I'll drink to that. Or anything else for that matter.

While bullying has probably 'always' been around, and probably always will be, to some degree or another, the stakes have become much higher in recent times. It is absolutely unacceptable.
I think that currently religious people are, finally, going to be having to learn some very hard lessons about hating and ostracizing and humiliating those who do not follow their prescribed 'laws' - but that it is occurring at the cost of not only the degrading of fellow humans, but the cost of their lives, is unforgivable. Even when people don't choose to take their lives because of the judgment and treatment, it still, in a very real sense, costs the lives of others.
The author is right - tolerance isn't going to cut it, and it never has. Everyone, and especially the religious, must speak out and give the clear and non-negotiable message that this cannot and will not be, well, tolerated any more.
I believe bullying is presented in lots of different packages, and adults are included in those who can be bullies. Bullying, especially in schools, must be stopped. I believe we need to adopt a no tolerance rule where this is concerned - one strike and you're out. It has far too many repercussions on the victims, and we can't continue to tolerate those who turn a deaf ear and blind eye when they become aware of someone being bullied. Those people need to go - if they are going to cop the attitude that kids will be kids, or that it isn't the schools place to have to deal with the situation, or whatever their lame excuse is, then those people need to get into work that doesn't involve children, or preferably, any other life.

I was bullied quite a bit when I was a kid because I was small for my age and made better grades than the other boys in elementary school (I made up for that later). I don't think it had much to do with religion; I was just easy pickings. Gays being bullied is quite another matter, as that has religious underpinnings.
I'm totally against any bullying for any reason.

I am in total agreement with the article in the OP, with the obvious exception that there is no god. There was even a nice bit in the middle about white privilege. The fact of which far too many white people reject.
It also points out something that I and many others here have pointed out over time.
Christians will repeatedly choose to believe what they want their bible to say. They want it to reinforce their own beliefs whatever those beliefs are. They do not see the "fundamental" flaw in that argument. One cannot accept only the part that one likes. Take the whole of it or none of it. If you cannot take the whole then you must reject it.

Yes, as has been said many times: You know your god is imaginary when he hates the exact same people you do.
You're just jealous because the voices are talking to me and not you.

How time flies so fast that we're almost even clueless that it's already December. This year has flown with just a blink of an eye and we're on the verge of yet another year — a year full of possibility for new life and new beginnings.
What you will accomplish next year greatly depends on the people you surround yourself with. Or, in other words, it greatly depends on which people you decide not to surround yourself with.
When bringing in the new year, be sure not to bring all the rubbish with you. Leave all of them in 2014 for you to feel much lighter, filled with positivity and good vibrations.
If you ain't got a clue as to who THEY are to stay away from, then read the following 10 tips for goodness sake.
1. The Users
Sometimes we find people in our lives who use us in ways that end up hurting us. Most people will use us and by doing so, either maintain or improve our well-being.
Then you have those toxic individuals who use you and leave you worse off, leaving you high and dry and feeding off you like a parasite.
These sorts of people have no place in your life. So, don't bring them into 2015.
2. The Stressful People
If you believe stress is bad for you, then it will be bad for you.
If you use stress as a motivator to motivate you to act then stress can actually be rather healthy. However, you should aim to only be stressed by situations and not by people. If you have people in your life who are constantly managing to stress you out, that's your mind telling you — and trying to motivate you — to remove them from your life.
Life is stressful as it is. You don't need someone making it worst, right?
3. The Sadists
People can be silly sometimes. The people we keep a part of our lives are the people we care about — or at least, that ought to be the case. Some of these individuals, sadly, end up hurting us and causing us pain. The problem is that when others cause us pain, we're reminded of how much those people mean to us. If they could hurt us emotionally, we must care for them and what they think of us a great deal — so we allow them to remain a part of our lives.
Pain is only good if it teaches you a lesson. In this case, the lesson is to stop allowing others to use you as a punching bag.
4. The Unsympathetic Heartless
We've all had people in our lives who act like our friends only when it's convenient for them.
These toxic individuals are "pseudo friends" — a lot of fun to hang out with, and more than willing to accept help, but when you need their help they're miraculously nowhere to be found. These individuals are definitely toxic because they give you the illusion of a safety net.
You think you can lean on them for support, but when you reach for their shoulder, you fall over and hit the ground. Make sense?
5. The Liars
Everyone lies. In fact, within the first few minutes of meeting a new person, that person is likely to lie to you a handful of times. Most lies are harmless, but that all changes when the people who are lying to you are the people you trust.
Fill your life with trustworthy people and you'll be far better off. You can find lies just about anywhere. Finding the truth, on the other hand, is much more rare.

The Mountains to Sound Greenway is a 100-mile long corridor along Interstate 90, stretching from the Seattle waterfront to Ellensburg in Central Washington. It features hiking and biking trails and a regional trail network used by pedestrians and bicyclists for recreation and transportation. The 3.6-mile trail project in Bellevue will close a gap in the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail between Factoria Boulevard and Lakemont Boulevard.
Construction on the first phase of trail improvements in Bellevue began in September 2019 to build a 12-foot pedestrian/bicycle path, a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Factoria Blvd, a tunnel under the existing I-405/eastbound I-90 ramps, relocate portions of the trail and install additional lanes on the I-90 eastbound off-ramp to Factoria Boulevard. Details in construction alert (August 2019). Construction is expected to be complete by the end of 2020.
In 2013, the city began the final design on the Greenway Trail between Factoria Boulevard Southeast and 150th Avenue Southeast. The design follows recommendations made in the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail Design Study. The alignment was chosen as part of a study of the entire Eastgate/I-90 corridor. Sections of the trail in Bellevue include:
- Interstate 405 to 132nd Avenue Southeast: Provides a tunnel crossing under the I-90/I-405 ramp and a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Factoria Boulevard Southeast to ensure bicycle and pedestrian safety. Portions of the trail will be relocated to improve capacity for the eastbound I-90 off-ramp to Factoria, helping to avoid long backups onto the highway. Status: Under construction Sept. 2019-end of 2020.
- 132nd to 150th Avenue Southeast; This section will include a 12-foot-wide paved pedestrian and bicycle path on the north side of Southeast 36th Street. It will include walls, traffic signal modifications, new lighting and new pavement.
- 156th Avenue Southeast to Southeast Lakemont Boulevard: Section will include a new 12-foot-wide pedestrian and bicycle trail, along the south side of I-90.
Several ideas were considered as part of the Eastgate/I-90 Land Use and Transportation Project on how to address the "Eastgate Gap." Community input and feedback indicated that bicyclists preferred the southern alignment because it is the most direct and continuous route. A citizen advisory committee endorsed the pathway depicted in the proposed Mountains to Sound Greenway alignment. The city, in partnership with the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, completed a design study of trail alignment along the south side of Interstate 90.
- 2019: Construction began in September 2019 on the I-405 to 132nd Avenue Southeast segment and is expected to be complete by the end of 2020.
Construction funding for I-405 to 132nd Avenue Southeast segment is $17.7 million. Construction funding for the section of trail between 132nd Avenue Southeast and 142nd Place Southeast is expected to be available by 2022. Design and construction funding for the segments from 142nd Place Southeast and Lakemont Boulevard is not yet available.

04 Mar Debt Trapped? SA far from debt trap – Gordhan
Debt Trapped? SA far from debt trap – Gordhan
Cape Town – Government debt will be stabilised over the medium term and South Africa is far from a debt trap, according to the Budget Review.
It states that SA's deep and liquid domestic captial markets, and its access to international borrowing, continue to provide resources for government's financing needs. Domestic capital markets will remain the main source of borrowing but over the medium term, government's borrowing strategy focuses on reducing the risks presented by the sharp increase in loan repayments beginning 2016/17.
Government's foreign debt remains low, at 10% of gross loan debt. In 2018/19, gross bond issuance in the domestic market will be the lowest since 2011/12, reflecting the outcome of fiscal consolidation.
Global investors hold 32% of rand-denominated government bonds. Their holdings are sensitive to any shifts in US monetary policy and South Africa's sovereign credit ratings.
Higher interest rates, rising inflation and the significant depreciation in the exchange rate, partially offset by higher cash balances, have resulted in higher net debt of R1.804trn in 2015/16 relative to the R1.781trn projected in the 2015 budget.
As the budget deficit improves over the medium term, net debt as a share of GDP is expected to stabilise at 46.2% in 2017/18, compared to 43.7% as projected in the 2015 budget.
Government issues guarantees to various state-owned companies. These guarantees will amount to R467bn as at March 31 2016. Of the total guarantee portfolio, 75% is issued to Eskom and 8% to the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral). In 2015/16, one new guarantee for R2.5bn was issued to the South African Post Office (Sapo).
Only the portion of the guarantees that these companies have borrowed against – known as the exposure amount – is a contingent liability to government. Creditors can call on government to service or pay off the guaranteed debt on which an entity has defaulted.
Exposure amounts are projected to increase from R225.8bn in 2014/15 to R258bn as at March 31 2016. Most of the increase is accounted for by Eskom (R18.6bn), South African Airways (SAA) (R6bn), the Land Bank (R3.2bn), Sanral (R2.6bn) and Sapo (R1bn). Eskom constitutes 65% of the total exposure amount.
Government's other contingent liabilities include the actuarial deficits of social security funds – the difference between the claims owed by these entities and their total assets. Government commitments to the Export Credit Insurance Corporation of South Africa – the net underwriting exposure of the company and its total assets – also fall into this category, as do claims against government departments, and post-retirement medical assistance to government employees.
Other contingent liabilities are expected to amount to R286.1bn in 2015/16, R33.5bn higher than in 2014/15, due to an increase in claims by exporters and increased exposure of the Road Accident Fund. Over the medium term, these contingent liabilities are projected to increase to R323.1bn.

Moor Sands beach is a pebble beach with rocks and some rock pools, this makes its name a little unusual as you only get a small amount of sand available at low tide.
This is a south-west facing beach that gets the sun all day.
Moor Sands is a remote beach only accessed from the coast path and you have no facilities available. If you want to visit then probably the best parking option is at Prawle Point which will give you a walk of about 2 km.
Moor Sands Beach is dog friendly and allows dogs all year.

Americans are paying way to much to borrow money, given that the interest rates that banks give on savings accounts hover at 0.01 percent on savings account deposits, yet the banks that run credit cards are charging millions of Americans 15% to 29% interest on credit cards. Granted there are a few credit cards that charge from 8% to 12.5% interest but these are few and far between and you need a stellar credit rating to even obtain one.
Americans have charged more than 800 million on their credit cards last year. The profit made on interest payments alone from this 800 billion is staggering, and that is not counting the ton of fees that credit card companies love to levy on people like the infamous annual fee charge. Nearly every consumer is paying high interest rates on these cards, which in turn enriches the banks with incredible profit. Credit card companies have a much higher return on investment than traditional banks ever will.
Since interest rates currently are close to 1 percent there is no reason for U.S consumers to be paying 15% to 29% interest rates on borrowing money. A new player in the game is looking to change this up however. Enter LendingClub who Just announced in December that they are looking to raise about 692 million in an initial public offering. This would put a value on LendingClubs business at around $4 billion dollars. LendingClubs news of a public offering has already attracted high caliber investors such as Google and even some Hollywood elitists. LendingClub provides a platform that cuts out banks from the equation and has facilitated more than 5 billion in consumer loans, while at the same time empowering individual investors.
LendingClub see's opportunity in the fact that it costs way to much to borrow money in this country. For those who are looking for a good return on there money, LendingClub also caters to this market. Where as banks are only offering 0.01 to 0.03 percent return on savings accounts LendingClub offers savvy investors a return of about 7% on their investments after losses. While investors can opt for investments other than LendingClub these investments can be wrought with risk. LendingClub looked at some of these platforms and sensed an opportunity, for example high yield bond funds are only paying out about 5% ROI, where as most investors with LendingClub are earning around 7% adjusted for losses. Another avenue that LendingClub is capturing is the small investor market, as investors can invest into LendingClub loans with as little as $25. In fact with just $25 you can partially fund more than 250 loans to diversify your risk pool. The industry is new however so investing in this could be risky and your investments are not covered by FDIC insurance like your savings account would be.
For those using LendingClub to borrow, they can obtain a much lower interest rate than that offered by either banks, credit unions or credit card companies. Many borrowers use LendingClub to consolidate there credit card debt into one loan, there by cutting down there interest rates by as much as half. Borrowers can even check to see if they are approved to borrow money without needing to have a hard inquiry appear on their credit report. Most consumers get a far better deal by going through LendingClub instead of the older more traditional lending routes such as banks and credit cards. Business for LendingClub has been so brisk and demand so high for this service that over night it seems a host of competitors have appeared. The future is looking bright for platforms like LendingClub however, and these platforms could in theory challenge banks to change the way they do business.

Water Treatment
The City of Medicine Hat operates a single water treatment plant complex located on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River within the municipal boundaries of The City of Medicine Hat. The original plant was constructed in 1914, with subsequent expansions in 1956, 1960, 1986, 1993, and 2004.
The current Water Treatment Plant is a 180 ML/D conventional treatment facility employing the use of solids contact up-flow clarifiers, dual media filters, secondary chlorine disinfection, and primary UV disinfection processes to produce potable water. Further expansion is scheduled within the next five years to develop a process waste treatment facility, located in close proximity to the Water Treatment Plant. This facility will treat all process waste generated from the Water Treatment Plant prior to discharge into the South Saskatchewan River.
The service area is located within the municipal boundaries of The City of Medicine Hat and includes specified bulk supply gates to Cypress County (including Seven Persons and Veinerville), bulk supply to the Greenvalley Water Co-op and the Roytal Water Co-op.
The City of Medicine Hat operates a Wastewater Treatment Plant complex located downstream of the Water Treatment Plant, on the east bank of the South Saskatchewan River. The original plant was constructed in 1961 with subsequent expansions in 1967, 1981, 1989, and 2009.
The current Wastewater Treatment Plant consists of a 75 ML/D mechanical treatment plant employing the use of primary and secondary treatment technologies, UV disinfection, and a polishing lagoon system. Treated effluent from this plant is discharged into the South Saskatchewan River in accordance to Alberta Environment Operating License procedures.
The service area is located within the municipal boundaries of The City of Medicine Hat and includes sanitary sewer collection and treatment services to The Town of Redcliff.
The City also operates a Class 2 landfill for solid waste. Runoff water and leeching of liquids exposed to waste are major concerns when operating a landfill. The primary system for containing runoff consists of a clay layer beneath the landfill. In the event that a large amount of water flows into the landfill, due to rain or flood, any runoff from the landfill will flow into a catchment pond meant to prevent the release of contaminated water into the environment. Any waste delivered to the landfill is covered daily, if possible. Since it is only a Class 2 landfill, hazardous waste is not accepted for dumping, and must be disposed of at a Class 1 landfill elsewhere.
Well water from the surrounding area is tested three times a year against Alberta Environment Guidelines. The landfill has the capacity to operate for another 20 years as of 2009.

The last time "Street Science"'s Kevin Delaney (a.k.a. Jimmy Fallon's science guy) stopped by the studio, there were things literally flying all over the place!
Kevin's back to show Rach some cool new science tricks!
First: a balloon that you can actually eat? Say what?! How's that work?
Using the hose from a helium tank, Kevin blows small bubbles into a kind of homemade edible super-sticky goop to make the balloons.
Watch the video above to see how they're made and for Rach's hilarious reaction to taking a bite!
Next, Kevin pulls a fast one over on Rach!
After she smashes a Pyrex glass vase, he drops the broken glass pieces into the bucket filled with a mysterious liquid. A few seconds later, he reaches in again (don't try this at home!!) and voila! The vase is back together in one piece!
What's Kevin's secret science move? Watch below to find out.
Watch Kevin Delaney From "Street Science" Magically Put a Broken Glass Vase Back Together (Well, Sort Of!)
At its extreme temperature of around -320 fahrenheit, liquid nitrogen quickly freezes the liquid in anything it touches, including fruits and vegetables, even doughnuts and gummy bears!
"I love liquid nitrogen!" Rach exclaims.
First, Kevin finds a frozen banana in the liquid nitrogen, which they try to nail to a board, but the banana keeps breaking — it's frozen solid! So Rach decides to smash it, which is WAY more fun!
"I'm just going to keep giving you stuff to smash," says Kevin. (Thanks, Kev)
Rach smashes a doughnut that's frozen solid, then a marshmallow. What else goes into the liquid nitrogen? A whole bouquet of roses!
"Aww he's going to freeze me some flowers," says Rach. "Thank you, my darling."
Then Rach does what with the flowers?! Watch below.
Watch Rach Smash Food (and Flowers!) Frozen in Liquid Nitrogen With Kevin From "Street Science"
While Kevin and Rach had a ton of LOL fun with these science demos, don't try this at home!

Niro Sritharan is Leadership and Management Lead at Premier Partnership.
As part of my role at Premier Partnership, I travel up and down the UK speaking with organisations to inform, understand and offer guidance on their leadership and management development strategies. This is becoming an increasingly significant element of corporate strategies as organisations realise the importance of having highly skilled and effective managers. As part of our place on the North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortium (NEUPC) Managed Services Framework, this has led to a number of discussions with Higher Education organisations who are keen to maximise their Apprenticeship Levy as a method for funding the development of their managers.
Some of the challenges they seem to be facing are as you would expect – from 20% 'off the job' training, to convincing managers that an apprenticeship programme is an appropriate route to develop effective leadership and management skills. The one issue HE organisations face that is unique to them however is the cultural difference between academic leaders and non-academic leaders.
The introduction of degree apprenticeships
However, the introduction of degree level apprenticeships seems to be something that is gaining interest as the opportunity to become a degree level manager and to become Chartered is far more appealing than the NVQs offered previously on apprenticeship frameworks. This could be a way around some of the challenges being faced, particularly as most universities look for a degree level qualification as a pre-requisite for their management positions.
Last week, Ken Kane (Premier Partnership's Commercial Director) and I were invited to speak at the London School of Economics Career Pathway Conference to talk about our experience and learnings with the Apprenticeship Levy as a leading training provider. The event was attended by over 50 representatives from a wide array of HE organisations and we were there to provide our own insights into using the apprenticeship standards for leadership and management as a way to maximise Levy funds in order to develop managers.
Our presentation first tackled the common challenges or perceptions we hear from employers in relation to apprenticeships and how we overcome these objections. We then provided some facts and figures around why organisations should invest in the development of managers due to a considerable management skills shortage in the UK. Finally, we sought to highlight to key benefits of doing this; I have provided some of those facts below for your information. Although we did not have time for questions, I got the sense from the room that they were in agreement with us and there seems to be an appetite for further discussion with some of the organisations present.
Leadership and Management skills: The facts
- Benefits of upskilling your managers – expands the talent pool, creates a culture for learning, increased motivation and engagement, increased productivity.
- 2 in 5 Managers are concerned about under-investment in their development.
- 81% of employers are not yet aware that the Apprenticeship Levy can be used to upskill managers at all levels of the organisation.
- 48% of employers do expect the number of new apprentices to rise over the next year.
Choosing an apprenticeship training provider
Premier Partnership is on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers approved to deliver Level 3 Team Leader/Supervisor and Level 5 Operations/Departmental Manager apprenticeship standards. We have responded to the market and have created delivery models which meet the standards, incorporate the learning required to meet the assessment criteria for accredited programmes and are blended in such a way that learning opportunities take place using multiple media including webinars, e-learning and reflective exercises following tasks in the workplace. Clients have told us that bitesize, focused learning is important, so we have made sure all of our workshops can be delivered as a standalone two hour sessions or mixed with other sessions to form half or one-day module. We also provide a Virtual Learning platform via Moodle for learners to access a whole range of learning tools which support their 'off the job' learning requirements, as well as a dedicated Leadership and Management Programme tutor who will work with learners for the duration of the programme to ensure they are ready to complete their End Point Assessment.
To run a successful apprenticeship program, we recommend the following best practice advice:
- Don't plug and play – Make sure the programme you design is tailored to your organisation. An off the shelf delivery plan will provide generic skills and knowledge in leadership and management but will miss the nuances that are important to managers in your organisation.
- Use your existing content – If it's not broken, don't fix it. Most organisations have existing materials for training which cover the key learning required as part of the standards, so you should try to build these into the learner journey.
- Work in partnership with the training provider – From project scoping, to implementation, right through to delivery, partnership working with the provider is fundamental. Ensure the selected provider is chosen because they fit and are aligned to your organisation's principles, values and commitment to achieving your overall strategic outcomes.
- Make it feel like 'your programme' – In designing the programme you should also consider the look and feel. Branding and language are important so that learners feel like it is your programme.
- Include the right stakeholders – To get buy in and ensure the content is fit for purpose, including the right stakeholders is essential to the success of the programme. Line managers need to know the impact, senior leaders need to back and support the programme, and subject matter experts should be included when it concerns their area of responsibility.
- Do it for the right reasons – Are you doing this just to use your Levy funds, or is there a genuine development need to upskill managers?
