Gun Laws Highlight Deepening Democratic Disarray
"When he gets Democrats in line, we'll start worrying about the president's threats."
-- Senior House Republican leadership aide talking to Power Play.
President Obama is heading back out on the campaign trail, this time in a bid for gun-control measures. But that could mean a lot of things.
In an advance announcement of the presidential campaign swing to Buzzfeed, a White House staffer told the news outlet that the campaign swing would be in support of his call that measures banning guns "deserve a vote."
But the gun ban will certainly get a vote. Reid has promised that the measure crafted by Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., would be offered as an amendment when he rolls out the package after the Easter recess.
What the measure needs is not support in the abstract, but actual presidential clout. Reid says that the measure is some 20 votes short of passage, meaning that some 15 Senate Democrats are bucking the president.
Obama seems unlikely to do what is required to win Senate passage of such a measure, namely to pressure vulnerable Democrats to switch their votes and take a politically risky stance ahead of Midterm elections. There's no credible threat to Republicans with Democrats so deeply divided on the issue.
Liberals were furious when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid spiked the most aggressive gun control bill, and given the muted reaction from the White House, one assumes that Reid at least consulted the president before deep sixing an important presidential priority.
Obama is looking to regain momentum on the subject, but if his campaign tour is going to be an ode to the merits of the legislative process, the suspicions that the president is not willing to sacrifice his own political capital on behalf of this cherished liberal cause will only deepen.
With Democrats already admitting defeat on an actual gun ban, the debate has shifted to background checks. Here again the question remains: what does Obama really want?
There will be multiple measures on offer in the Senate that could be called an expansion of background checks. One version backed by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., would require background checks on every gun purchase, even between individuals, and create a federal registry to track the purchases.
This bill looks unlikely to pass the Senate, let alone the Republican House. It might do better in the Senate than the gun ban, but not much. Not only would the legislation not have done anything to have prevented the shooting that spurred the current gun control push, the massacre in Newtown, Conn., or other recent mass shootings, but it sets off concerns about the registry being the basis for further future restrictions.
At the other end of the spectrum, the National Rifle Association is working up legislation that would integrate mental health records into the current background check system. The group is reportedly in negotiations with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., about bringing forward a bill that would compete with Schumer's plan.
That legislation wouldn't have prevented the Connecticut killings since the shooter there did not purchase his weapons. But in other mass shootings, particularly in Aurora, Colo. and Blacksburg, Va., such a system might have deterred killers, or at least complicated their plans.
While Senators go back and forth over what constitutes "expanded background checks," gun control groups, particularly the crusade by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, will be demanding an actual gun ban. The greatest effect here will be to panic lawmakers from heavily Democratic districts afraid of primary challengers on this hot-button issue for the left.
Obama, who has been seemingly allergic to the process of crafting difficult legislative deals since even his days in the Illinois Senate, will be heading out on the trail with Democrats divided, thereby taking the heat off of Republicans on the subject of gun control.
The president has promised to do everything in his power to prevent further mass shootings. This apparently does not include forging some Democratic consensus on the subject. He may choose to call an "up or down vote" on doomed legislation a victory, but that would be setting the bar awfully low.
Meanwhile, the president is also promising to ramp up the pressure for fast-track amnesty for illegal immigrants. And while someone in his administration leaked portions of the president's plan, it's not clear exactly what the president will be selling there either.
The Senate budget process last week highlighted the deepening rifts on the Blue Team over basic issues. And here again, we have yet to see Obama's budget, apparently delayed for the sake of avoiding a more specific embarrassment during the Senate voting process. Republicans may eventually force a vote on the president's eventual budget, but he was able to duck last week's budget vote-a-thons.
Polls show deepening voter frustrations on the issues of fiscal policy and the economy, dealing a blow to Obama's approval ratings.
Obama's real priority is a deal on a fiscal plan that will encourage the economy and get him out of a place where his team has to explain why Vice President Joe Biden's room-service tabs and a Yale study of mallard genitalia take precedence over White House tours and other federal expenses.
That deal will take months to accomplish, and when it's done, it will only be about a year until the next Election Day. Democrats face disaster next year if Washington remains unable to accomplish even basic tasks. An anti-incumbent wave could mean the end of the Democratic majority in the Senate.
Obama promised to use his permanent campaign arm and the presidential bully pulpit to break down his Republican opponents and advance liberal causes. But he seems to be flinching at the idea of his audacious second-term strategy as the time comes to put it into practice.
Unless Obama is willing to sell actual legislation and policies rather than abstractions, starting first with squeezing moderate Democrats on social issues and liberal Democrats on fiscal ones, Obama 2.0 will likely end up like Obama 1.0: in need of a reboot.

This page will provide you with information about open inguinal hernia repairs. For further details, please speak to your consultant.
An inguinal hernia is a hernia that develops in the inguinal canal. Hernias arise because of weakness in the muscle that allows internal organs to push through the abdominal wall (see Figure 1).
Figure 1
An inguinal hernia
Copyright © 2015 EIDO Healthcare Limited
The inguinal canal allows blood vessels to pass through the abdominal area to provide a ready supply to the testicles. If intestines get stuck in a hernia their blood supply can be cut off, causing strangulation of this portion of the organ.
The hernia will be repaired and tissue strangulation avoided.
A truss can be used to control hernias but they will not repair it. Inguinal hernias require surgery to be fully repaired.
The operation takes around 45 minutes and involves the surgeon making an incision on the groin to repair the hernia sac. They will then use stitches and sometimes a surgical mesh to make sure the area is strengthened.
Various anaesthetic options are available.
Any risks or complications will be discussed in advance of your treatment with your expert consultant.
Most patients are released from the hospital the same day and will be encouraged to walk around as much as possible.
Patients usually return to work between 2-4 weeks after surgery. Exercise will help with the recovery process – ask for advice from your healthcare team as to what type of exercise to do.
Even with surgery hernias may return.

Variable Frequency Drives: Source Impedance and Line Reactors
Copyright © 2001 Francis J. Martino
Harmonic frequency currents generated by low horse-power rated variable frequency drives
(VFD) will interact with a power source of low impedance. The resulting current flow may
damage the IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) output devices.
Manufacturers of variable frequency drives recommend the use of an input line reactor
or isolation transformer to increase the source impedance as seen by the drive. Due to
differences in design of IGBTs, drive manufacturer's specifications will vary. One manufacturer
requires line reactors for all drives that are used with a supply transformer that has a kVA
rating greater than ten times the input kVA rating of the drive, another requires a reactor
for drives up to 5 HP if the upstream transformer is 500 kVA or greater.
A third recommendation is to ensure that the source impedance is between 1 and 5 percent.
If the source impedance is less than 1 per cent, a reactor must be added to increase the
impedance. If the source impedance is greater than 5 per cent, the drive may not provide rated
output voltage due to the voltage drop caused by the high source impedance. In that case, the
motor may not produce rated torque. Also, too high an impedance will create a greater harmonic
voltage distortion.
In the event of a high source impedance, an input drive isolation transformer with taps
should be used. The impedance as seen by the drive will then be that of the isolation
transformer and not of the facility system. The taps may be used to boost the voltage to
the drive if necessary.
If the drive has a built- in reactor and you are using a drive isolation transformer, you may
want to remove the reactor from the circuit to eliminate the voltage drop caused by the reactor.
The transformer will provide the same harmonic attenuation and protection to the drive that
a reactor will provide.
To determine the source impedance as seen by the drive, divide the full load current capacity
of the drive by the short circuit capacity of the power system at the drive terminals and
express the result as a percentage:
Full Load Current / Short Circuit Current Capacity x 100 = Source Impedance
The contribution made to short circuit capacity by all motors connected in parallel with the
drive must be included in the source impedance calculation.
When a fault condition occurs, power system voltage will drop dramatically. All motors that
are running at that time will not be able to sustain their running speed. As those motors slow
in speed, they will regenerate, that is, the stored energy within their fields will be discharged
into the power line. That nominal discharge of energy will contribute to the fault a current that
could be as high as four times the connected motors' full load currents.
With a 1000 kVA, 480 VAC secondary, 1203 amp, 5.75% impedance transformer, we will
assume that all 1203 amps of load are from motors that are connected directly across the line.
The actual short circuit current will equal 20,924 amps plus 400% of 1203 amps for a total
of 25,736 short circuit amps. For additional information on short circuit capacity, refer to
Short Circuit Capacity: Basic Calculations and Transformer Sizing

Doctor Sleep, the unexpected (until Stephen King announced plans in 2009 to write it, anyway) sequel to The Shining. It became one of the most highly anticipated books of the year, especially after it's 8 or 9 month delay. So does it meet the expectations?
So, Stephen King wrote a sequel to a book that has grown in our collective consciousness into something that it never was, so the curious thing is how could its sequel possibly live up to expectations?
I've been a Stephen King fan almost since I could read. The first of his novels I read was Pet Sematary, followed by It, then Cujo. But it wasn't until I hit upon the Dark Tower series did I fully understand what his creative work was all about. This was in the early 1990s. The only Dark Tower proper novels (I refer to Dark Towers 1-7 as Dark Tower proper because most of King's books are part of the Dark Tower series in some fashion) out were the first three. But I could see the connections between the stories developing.
But when The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass was released in 1997, it became very clear that all of King's novels were one long work, with the Dark Tower tying them together into a single comprehensive story.
With that said, the answer concerning Doctor Sleep comes from being familiar with Stephen King's work as a whole.
The basic premise of Doctor Sleep is that a tightly knit group of vampires called the True Knot are scouring the country for children who have the psychic power Dick Hallorann called "the Shining." Instead of blood, these vampires feast on what they call "steam," which is the substance released from these special children when they die. Throughout the bulk of Doctor Sleep's story, the True Knot are perilously low on steam and, as a result, are susceptible to illness and death.
The leader of the True Knot, a horrid woman known as Rose the Hat, discovers the presence of a very powerful source of "steam," a girl named Abra Stone, who has a "shine" brighter than they have ever seen. If they can just find her and harvest her "steam," it will solve their problems for the foreseeable future.
So that's the basic concept. The Shining dealt with a similar idea. The ghosts of the Overlook Hotel wanted to harvest Danny Torrance's powers for their own benefit, but if that was the last time we saw this same plot in a Stephen King novel, I wouldn't comment further, but it isn't.
We have actually seen this exact story at least twice before—in Black House and The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla.
Black House (a Dark Tower tie-in novel and "sequel" to The Talisman) is about a demon kidnapping a boy with a gift remarkably similar to "the Shining" in order to use what must be his "steam" to feed the psychic abilities of "the breakers," psychics (with another version of "the Shining," I assume) enslaved to "break" the beams holding the Dark Tower in place. Wolves of the Calla tells the story of the same creatures from Black House stealing kids with psychic powers from a town called Calla Bryn Sturgis for the same reasons.
While Stephen King has confirmed many of his books are part of the Dark Tower series ('Salem's Lot, The Stand, The Talisman, It, The Eyes of the Dragon, Insomnia, Rose Madder, Desperation, The Regulators, Bag of Bones, Black House, From a Buick 8, Hearts in Atlantis (specifically the novella "Low Men in Yellow Coats," among several others), he never, to my knowledge, included The Shining in that list, although I always suspected it had to fit in there somehow, and Doctor Sleep is a way for King to do that, but based on my reading of it, Doctor Sleep never directly touches on the Dark Tower, although all the elements are there in an unrealized fashion, which is, in my opinion, either a failure of the imagination or a catering to those who are only familiar with The Shining and no other King works.
So how does Doctor Sleep work as a sequel? It works fine enough, but as I've been dancing around in this post, such a question misses the mark. The real question readers should be asking is how does it function in the scope of the rest of his work. Unfortunately, for me, it comes too close to the edge of Dark Tower territory without actually crossing over, leaving a huge narrative hole that could have elevated this story from simply an entertaining rehash to an important read.

Beer:30… Henry Weinhard's Woodland Pass IPA
Dipping back to a familiar style, the IPA has re-entered my household. While usually I stick to random craft beers, I spotted one a while ago that I had never seen before by the name of Henry Weinhard's. I left it on the shelf for another day, and out of the blue my brother in law brought some over for Halloween. Looks like a craft beer, so it must be one right? Hold on just a minute…
First a history lesson: Henry Weinhard is an actual person. Much like Cincinnati's own Christian Moerlein, Henry was a brewer from the old days, who actually spent some time here in the area before settling down in Oregon. For a long time, he crafted beers under his own name, and at one point, as it sometimes happens, his company was bought by another larger company. This "craft" beer just happens to be made by the folks at SABMiller, but for some reason they don't want you to know that. Well, they are not advertising it at least. Anyway, lets see how this IPA stands, enter the Woodland Pass IPA:
The beer pours like a normal IPA, with a good looking copperish hue. Smell wise I am picking up mostly pine aromas, and not much else. Taste wise, this beer is surprising. Right out of the gate, you pick up a nice hop flavor, but not overpowering like most IPAs that you will find nowadays. It is mild, but nice. Mixed with the hops, you will notice quite a bit of malt flavors, which mellow out the hops even more, and the beer finishes a little bitter. This IPA is lighter than most, and that is not a bad thing. This would be a good, cheap, grilling out type of beer.
Overall, I like this beer. True, it is not a real craft beer. True, it is more along the lines of a pale ale than an IPA. This is a beer that you could drink a few of and not find yourself without your pants the next morning. Not that that is a bad thing, or that it has happened to me. Well done Henry Weinhard's, err…SABMiller, not great, but not a bad start.
Beer:30… Meantime IPA.
IPAs are a mainstay in my household. Nothing finishes off a day better than a smooth, highly hopped, bitter IPA. Sometimes though, the West Coast style burns me out, and I start to look elsewhere for my evening beer, branching out to stouts and porters, etc. but I always find myself back to the IPA. Surprisingly though, I have never had an IPA from the origin of the style: Great Britain. Time for that to change, enter Meantime's IPA:
The style got it's start in the UK in the mid 18th century. Folks traveling to India wanted a beer that would make the journey, and what a beer they got. English IPAs became very popular, and the style crossed the pond in the early 1900s, and now almost every brewery here in the states has their own version. There is even the difference between East and West coast IPAs. Enough about that, lets get down with Meantime.
This IPA pours like your typical IPA, maybe just a tad lighter in appearance. Scent wise I am picking up a nice mixture of fruits and alcohol, which this beer is around 7.5% ABV so that is no real surprise. Taste wise, this is not your normal stateside IPA. Very mellow in comparison, but also very enjoyable. Fruity, bitter, smooth, a well balanced beer. The carbonation reminds me of drinking Anchor's Old Foghorn, as it is very crisp and well done. This is an easy drinking IPA that I am glad that I found!
If you are like me, and drink a fair share of IPAs, give this one a try to mix it up a bit. Not your normal IPA, but historically, it is right on par for the style. This one I will buy again!
Well done Meantime!
Beer:30… Abita Jockamo IPA.
Based out of the woods outside of New Orleans, Abita Brewing is a bit of an enigma to me. I have only had 1 or 2 of their products before, but I had always assumed that they were based on the West coast. Turns out, they use Pacific Northwest hop varieties. That would explain my confusion. Anyway, this nice can of beer showed up during some bicycle wrenching time, thanks Eric! Enter the Jockamo IPA:
This IPA pours a very good looking amber/orange with a respectable head left over. Once the beer is poured, pine scents hit your nose to remind you that you are about to drink an IPA. Once you start to drink this one, you will find that it goes down very smoothly. Those hops from the northwest show up with some nice citrusy flavors, and mix with an almost bread or biscuit like malt, to create a fine beer. Not extraordinary, but good nonetheless. This is a very respectable IPA, and it comes in a can, which that automatically makes me a fan.
This beer usually hangs with the $8.99/six pack crowd, which is a great deal in my book. Sometimes it is nice to not be drinking an imperial double American style IPA from hell, and just head back to the basics with a smooth, classic IPA. That is what this one is. Well done Abita!
Beer:30… Arcadia Brewing's Hopmouth.
For some reason, Michigan has become one of the bigger craft beer markets. Quite a few breweries are gaining traction in the beer world, while being based out of the state up North. One brewery that I have not really heard too much about is out of Battle Creek, called Arcadia Ales. Since I have been on an IPA kick as of late, a farewell to summer if you will, I decided to take a walk with their version of a double IPA, called the Hopmouth.
This beer looks like an IPA, and smells like an IPA, so it should be an IPA right? Yes, yes and yes. The beer pours a perfect looking IPA, just a little darker red than normal. Some IPAs rush right to the top of the glass when poured, but this one came out of the bottle perfectly. For the record, I pour every beer the same, right down the middle of the glass, no tilting. Tilting is for cans or kegs. That is another rant altogether. Back to the beer. Once in the glass, the beer smells a bit of pine, and a little fruity, but not as powerful as you would expect. Taste wise, this beer is excellent. Hops meet your taste buds at the gate, then fade away to a few different malt flavors, one that jumps out at me is a bit caramel like. The hops do not make an encore, and the beer finishes nice and dry, with a touch of alcohol, which clocks in at 8% ABV for those who care.
This beer was a great pick, unfortunately for the Hopmouth though is that it had to follow Sierra Nevada's Hoptimum in my beer que. Overall, this is a solid beer, a little maltier than I expected, but a nice change for a double IPA. If you see it, you should try it out. Well done!
Beer:30… Great Divide's Rumble.
I like Great Divide. To me, they are one of the better craft brewers in the industry these days, that you barely hear anything about. Well, maybe there is more play out West, but here in the Midwest, nothing much is mentioned about this company. That is a damn shame. Last week, I decided to pick up this special sixer to do a write up for IPA day, but missed the boat entirely. So, fashionably late, enter the Rumble:
Great Divide's Rumble is an oak aged India pale ale, which is a little bit outside of the norm. And for an IPA, this beer is not what you would expect.
At first glance, this beer looks like a normal IPA. Nice coloration, and a nice sticky lacing that hangs out on your glass for a few minutes. The aromas are a nice mix of oak, vanilla, and a tiny bit of hops thrown in, just because it is an IPA. Once tasting though, this beer delivers. Up front there is a small bitterness, that gets taken over by caramel malt sweets. Vanilla decides to show up in the middle, then the beer finishes with a nice, small hop flavor that rounds out this delicious beer. Not your normal hop monster IPA, but more of an almost creamy flavor IPA. It feels weird to say, "creamy IPA," but that is what comes to mind. My only drawback to this beer is the weird aftertaste that I get from drinking it. I would almost describe it as a resiny aftertaste, not immediate, but shows up a couple minutes after the swig is down. Just a minor drawback, and nothing to make me avoid buying this beer again. And buy it again I shall.
This has been a great beer to celebrate my late IPA day. I would definitely recommend it if you need a break from burning out your taste buds on some of the greater hop concoctions out there. A creamy IPA, who would have thought?
Well done once again Great Divide!
Beer:30… Sierra Nevada Torpedo.
Sierra Nevada holds a special place in my beer loving heart, as they were my introduction to craft beers. Their pale ale was my first venture into the world of beers with real flavor, not a watery rice imitation beer. That was some time ago, but the feelings stick with you. You always remember your first, with beer it is no exception. Anyway, lots has changed with one of the original craft brewers over the years; A new brewery being built in North Carolina, new beers, and a canning line. Let's take a look at their extra IPA, the Torpedo:
I love the idea of craft beer in a can. Zero light pollution. No skunky beer here. Plus, it makes it much easier to take a beer with you on outdoor adventures into remote areas. Sure you can take a bottle with you, but with a can it is lighter and takes up less space when bringing the trash home. What, you actually think I leave my empties out in the woods? Shame on you. Anyway, enough about the cans, let's get to the tasting.
The beer pours perfectly out of said can, a beautiful dark orange/amber IPA with a decent off white head. Once the can is opened, the scent of pine hops clogs your airways. Very strong hops, mixed with a sweet grapefruit smell. I wish I could make this blog scented, so as you read this post you could smell the beer. Once you start drinking it, those flavors are at the front, overpowering anything else that might be in there. Just a tiny bit, if any malt taste is there, but you are hard pressed to find it under all of those hops. For the finish, it ends bitter and dry, or I would even say crisp. This is what an IPA should be.
Some might not care for this amount of hops, but seriously, if you do not like hops why buy an extra IPA? This is one of my favorites for a few reasons:
1. I get a sense of nostalgia when I drink a Sierra Nevada product, refer back to the first paragraph. 2. This has that West Coast style hop flavor, that I really enjoy.
3. You can find this beer almost anywhere.
If you like the above reasons, and just love the flavor of hops, this is a must try if you have not already. Well done Sierra Nevada!

Magazine January 2007 – 60 images of Christine
Brit blonde Christine turned the tragedy of her second husband's death into a triumph. Using the insurance specie he left her, that babe opened her own business, turning herself into an independent woman overnight.
That was just the beginning of her liberation. "For the first time in my life, I had my own specie, I was my own boss," this babe exposes. "I loved the feelings of freedom and power that gave me. I too realized the vigour I had as a woman-power over bucks! Of course, many came calling when they learned of my windfall and the success of my tea shop. They thought they could receive one over on me. Ha! Little did they know, I was intent on using them-not for cash or security, but for sex!"

Statistical Tolerance Analysis
Dimensional tolerances specify allowed variability around nominal dimensions. We assign tolerances to assure component interchangeability while meeting performance and producibility requirements. In general, as tolerances become smaller manufacturing costs become greater. The challenge becomes finding ways to increase tolerances without sacrificing product performance and overall assembly conformance. Statistical tolerance analysis provides a proven approach for relaxing tolerances and reducing cost.
Before we dive into how to use statistical tolerance analysis, let's first consider how we usually assign tolerances. Tolerances should be based on manufacturing process capabilities and requirements in the areas of component interchangeability, assembly dimensions, and product performance. In many cases, though, tolerances are based on an organization's past tolerance practices, standardized tolerance assignment tables, or misguided attempts to improve quality by specifying needlessly-stringent tolerances. These latter approaches are not good, they often induce fit and performance issues, and organizations that use them often leave money on the table.
There are two approaches to tolerance assignment – worst case tolerance analysis and statistical tolerance analysis.
In the worst case approach, we analyze tolerances assuming components will be at their worst case conditions. This seemingly innocuous assumption has several deleterious effects. It requires larger than necessary assembly tolerances if we simply stack the worst case tolerances. On the other hand, if we start with the required assembly tolerance and use it to determine component tolerances, the worst case tolerance analysis approach forces us to make the component tolerances very small. Here's why this happens: The rule for assembly tolerance determination using the worst case approach is:
Tassy = ΣTi
Tassy = assembly tolerance
Ti = individual component tolerances
The worst case tolerance analysis and assignment approach assumes that the components will be at their worst case dimensions; i.e., each component will be at the extreme edge of its tolerance limits. The good news is that this is not a realistic assumption. It is overly conservative.
Here's more good news: Component dimensions will most likely be normally distributed between the component's upper and lower tolerance bounds, and the probability of actually being at the tolerance limits is low. The likelihood of all of the components in an assembly being at their upper and lower limits is even lower. The most likely case is that individual component dimensions will hover around their nominal values. This reasonable assumption underlies the statistical tolerance analysis approach.
We can use statistical tolerance analysis to our advantage in three ways:
- If we start with component tolerances, we can assign a tighter assembly tolerance.
- If we start with the assembly tolerance, we can increase component tolerances.
- We can use combinations of the above two approaches to provide tighter assembly tolerances than we would use with the worst case tolerance analysis approach and to selectively relax component tolerances.
Statistical tolerance analysis uses a root sum square approach to develop assembly tolerances based on component tolerances. In the worst case tolerance analysis approach discussed above, we simply added all of the component tolerances to determine the assembly tolerance. In the statistical tolerance analysis approach, we find the assembly tolerance based on the following equation:
Tassy = (ΣTi2)(1/2)
Using the above formula is straightforward. We simply square each component tolerance, take the sum of these squares, and then find the square root of the summed squares to determine our assembly tolerance.
Sometimes it is difficult to understand why the root sum square approach is appropriate. We can think of this along the same lines as the Pythagorean theorem, in which the distance along the diagonal of a right triangle is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the triangle's sides. Or we can think of it as distance from an aim point. If we have an inch of lateral dispersion and an inch of horizontal dispersion, the total dispersion is 1.414 inches as we see below:
To continue our discussion on statistical tolerance analysis, consider this simple assembly with three parts, each with a tolerance of ±0.002 inch:
The worst case assembly tolerance for the above design is the sum of all of the component tolerances, or ±0.006 inch.
Using the statistical tolerance analysis approach yields an assembly tolerance based on the root sum square of the component tolerances. It is (0.0022 + 0.0022 + 0.0022)(1/2), or 0.0035 inch. Note that the statistically-derived tolerance is 42% smaller than the worst case tolerance. That's a very significant decrease from the 0.006 inch worst case derived tolerance.
Based on the above, we can assign a tighter assembly tolerance while keeping the existing component tolerances. Or, we can the stick with the worst case assembly tolerance (assuming this is an acceptable assembly tolerance) and relax the component tolerances. In fact, this is why we usually use the statistical tolerance analysis approach – for a given assembly tolerance, it allows us to increase the component tolerances (thereby lowering manufacturing costs).
Let's continue with the above example to see how we can do this. Suppose we increase the tolerance of each component by 50% so that the component tolerances go from 0.002 inch to 0.003 inch. Calculating the statistically-derived tolerances in this case results in an assembly tolerance of 0.0052 inch, which is still below the 0.006 inch worst case assembly tolerance. This is very significant: We increased component tolerance 50% and still came in with an assembly tolerance less that the worst case assembly tolerance. We can even double one of the above component's tolerances to 0.004 inch while increasing the other two by 50% and still lie within the worst case assembly tolerance. In this case, the statistically-derived assembly tolerance would be (0.0032 + 0.0032 + 0.0042)(1/2), or 0.0058 inch. It's this ability to use statistical tolerance analysis to increase component tolerances that is the real money maker here.
The only disadvantage to the statistical tolerance analysis approach is that there is a small chance we will violate the assembly tolerance. An implicit assumption is that all of the components are produced using capable processes (i.e., the process capability is such that ±3σ or all parts produced lie within the tolerance limits for each part). This really isn't much of an assumption (whether you are using statistical tolerance analysis or worst case tolerance analysis, your processes have to be capable). With a statistical tolerance analysis approach, we can predict that 99.73% (not 100%) of all assemblies will meet the required assembly dimension. This relatively small predicted rejection rate (just 0.27%) is usually acceptable. In practice, when the assembly dimension is not met we can usually address it by simply selecting different components to bring the assembly into conformance.

After one week of the NFL season, the Broncos are very glad they convinced Tracy Porter to sign. And the Buccaneers are very glad they convinced Ronde Barber to stay.
Porter, who signed with the Broncos in March after spending four years as a starting cornerback for the Saints, has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. And Barber, who stayed with the Buccaneers and moved to safety after contemplating retirement, has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
Porter had a game-clinching 43-yard interception return for a touchdown in the Broncos' 33-19 win over the Steelers. It was the third time in his career that he had a game-clinching pick-six late in the fourth quarter; he also did it in a 2009 game against the Dolphins and in Super Bowl XLIV, when his victim was his current teammate Peyton Manning.
Barber had both a sack and an interception of Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in the Bucs' 16-10 victory on Sunday. It was the third time in his career that he had a sack and an interception in the same game. This is the 10th career Defensive Player of the Week award for Barber.

Top Reasons To Add Pineapple To Your Daily Water
Enjoy The Health Benefits Of Pineapple In Your Daily Water.
In general, we all know that eating fruits and vegetables is a good thing for our health; not all fruits and vegetables are equal. There are some that have amazing benefits, among them is pineapple.
Pineapple is a juicy fruit, rich in fiber and vitamin C. Its vitamin C component makes it an excellent antioxidant that can help fight the formation of free radicals known to cause cancer. Pineapple has other incredible health benefits.

- Amazing Health Benefits Of Starting Your Day With Lemon Water
10 Reasons to Add Pineapple to your Water Daily
1. Fights inflammation
Bromelain is an enzyme that has anti-inflammatory properties. Bromelain helps the body get rid of toxins by fighting off inflammation which impacts all the tissues and organs in the body. Regular consumption of pineapple can help to treat mild forms of arthritis and sports injuries by reducing inflammation and pain.
2. Helps with weight loss
Due to the fiber contained in pineapple, it takes more time to digest, thus causing a prolonged feeling of satiety. Drinking pineapple water in the morning prevents sugar and fat cravings. Thiamine helps boost your body metabolism by converting carbohydrates into energy.
3. Flushes parasites from liver and intestines
Pineapples contain an enzyme bromelain, that is anti-parisitic. A couple sources state that a three day pineapple fast will kill tape worms.
……9. Improves vision
Pineapple contains beta-carotene and vitamin A that good for eyesight. Data reported in a study published in the Archives of Ophthalmology indicates that eating 3 or more servings of pineapple per day may lower your risk of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the primary cause of vision loss in older adults.
10. Protects from cancer.
Research published in the journal Planta Medica found that bromelain was superior to the chemotherapy drug 5-fluorauracil in treating cancer in an animal study.Researchers stated:
"This antitumoral effect [of bromelain] was superior to that of 5-FU [5-fluorouracil], whose survival index was approximately 263 %, relative to the untreated control."

Aktuelle Leserstimmen:
"Awesome book! We are in love with this book! Our son is being raised bilingual since half of the collective family lives in the Philippines, and it hasn't exactly been easy to find good quality childrens books in Tagalog. We saw this one, saw the great price for it, and we thought "Lets give it a try!" and we're not disappointed one bit. The story is sweet and simple, and even as a non-tagalog speaker I was able to understand it a little, which says a lot since never had a lot of luck learning the language! As an artist, I love love LOVE the art in this book, I think its not only beautiful, but perfect for children. My son spent a lot of time just studying every colorful page. We read it twice in the first sitting because he was so happy! He's not yet 1, so getting him to sit still for story time is tough, and this book was such a hit he sat through it with nothing but a big smile and lots of pointing to the stuff he liked on the pages. I highly recommend this book :) Get it get it get it!" -- H. S., 07.01.2014
"This is a sweet book with beautiful artistic illustrations. Really loved the unique artwork. I bought it to help work on our French with our two young boys so it's nice that the story is told in both French and English on each page. My French isn't very good (working on it) but I still found this easy to read & pronounce to them out loud." -- Stefan H., 08.01.2014
"Cute book for kids - I enjoy reading this to my daughter. She loves the large characters..." -- Michele R., 09.01.2014
"Cute, simple story with adorable, modern illustrations. First of all, I'm thrilled to see an affordable book in European Portuguese. There aren't a lot of options in this country for any Portuguese, let alone European, so I usually have to pay extra for imported books. This book seemed to be well translated, and not a Google Translate hack job like some books I've found. Now, the book itself. The illustrations are really sweet, and seem relatable for a child but not cheesy. They really drew me in. The story itself is a simple one, in which a little girl is shocked to hear that she's little, and as she asks for more and more opinions, she finds that it's all about perspective. The moon thinks she's small, and bugs think she's large. There aren't a lot of words on each page which, as someone without a lot of reading-out-loud stamina, I think is nice." -- F. C., 26.11.2013
"I am constantly searching for Panjabi books for my one-year-old twins. I was nearly certain that I had bought every Panjabi kids book available on Amazon, but I found this ten or more pages into a generic Punjabi or Panjabi search. It is a beautiful book. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the story is very sweet and silly. My husband is the Panjabi one in the family, but I can make out simple things in Panjabi. I read this to our son in Panjabi with my mother-in-law half-laughing, half-beaming with happiness from a few feet away. I had to keep asking her for meanings of unfamiliar words (like nikki). It was great fun, and now I know five or six words that I didn't before." -- C. M., 28.12.2013
"The storyline is fairly simple and repetitive, perfect for a small child. [...] The drawings are really amazing - naive, colorful and full of imagination. My baby daughter loves them!" -- Elle, 20.12.2013

Freedom Tours
Whose stories are we missing when we speak about land and freedom? It's a profoundly important question for artists, Cheryl L'Hirondelle and Camille Turner, who share a keen interest in the mapping of public memory — our countless stories untold and songs unsung.
Their Freedom Tours project for LandMarks 2017/Repères 2017 focuses on Ontario's Thousand Islands National Park and Rouge National Urban Park. As the oldest park east of the Rockies, the Thousand Islands is rich in diverse, place-based narratives. The artists will host boat tours of the area that reimagine some of these histories in song. The Park comprises Akwesasne Mohawk lands and, given the proximity of the waters to America, borderlands — so the storytelling potential is vast. Conversely, the Rouge is the nation's youngest urban park. In early 2017, the Park was allotted new acreage by the House of Commons, as well as new protections for its ecosystems, wildlife and proximal farms. In the case of the Rouge, the artists will conduct walking tours, to explore lesser-known area landmarks, inviting the public to join them in making flags and marching together to celebrate species and diversity in the park. This dynamic artist pairing is inspired by concerns about freedom that drive both L'Hirondelle's work with incarcerated women and song, and Turner's enquiry into underrepresented histories of the black experience in Canada.
Cheryl L'Hirondelle and Camille Turner's Freedom Tours are available to book now. A boat tour of Thousand Islands National Park will take place June 17th & 18th and a walking tour of Rouge National Park will happen June 24th.

As you've probably noticed, you haven't heard from us for a while.
We've been having a season filled with ups and downs here at
Manifesto Magazine, but we've also been using the time to get that
much better. At what, you may ask? Well, telling you outright would
spoil the fun. But let's say 2011 is going to be a year to remember
and Manifesto Magazine will definitely be one of the reasons you do.
So on that note, WE'RE BACK!!!

Cooking Healthy Recipes
Consuming healthy is not as hard as many people make it out to be. And with the right eating healthy recipes, you do not have to settle for tasteless boring meals. A protein-packed hard-boiled egg and walnuts, which contain healthy omega-three fats, pair with each other to aid preserve you complete. Fill colorful (and antioxidant-rich) bell peppers with lean ground beef, entire-wheat couscous and a mix of vegetables and herbs for a healthy and satisfying meal. Toasted pumpkin seeds mixed with cilantro and chiles turn out to be the Mexican-inspired salsa for a roasted chicken with a cumin-coriander rub.
It also has cheese on the recipe for an further calcium supply and the chicken meat as the protein supply. Fruits are your healthy dose of sweets although vegetables make you really feel complete that you can prevent your self from craving for meat. Try some thing new like kale and quinoa and dress it up with vinaigrette, the far more preferred dressing for healthy recipes for salads.
Classic shrimp scampi is loaded with butter, however this version is cooked in chicken broth alternatively and gets an added punch of flavor from kalamata olives. Save your self some time on the day of a cookout and marinade your chicken in a blend of garlic, ginger, soy sauce and orange juice the evening just before.
These satisfying pot pies are filled with chicken breast meat, carrots, mushrooms, celery and turnips and are topped with just a handful of sheets of phyllo dough. This classic Mexican breakfast meals calls for only eight ingredients, like chicken, queso blanco, and corn tortillas.
The basis for most light and healthy recipes are lean meats, if you eat meats, or hearty vegetables that are complete of fiber and extremely filling, but not the in bogged down way you feel soon after polishing off a plate of heavy pancakes.
Ellie utilizes further-lean ground beef to slim down this hearty chili, but you'd never ever notice something missing, thanks to a flavorful three-bean combo (black beans, kidney and pinto) and the addition of a smoky chipotle chile. Use slices or chunks of carrots in your chicken noodle soups or chicken stews and steam carrots to serve with baked chicken dishes.

Measures likely to catch the industry's eye include removing IHT on primary residences, slashing stamp duty on shares and removing tax-free employee benefits.
The Tories do not want to be caught up in a Labour tax trap and Shadow Chancellor George Osborne was quick not to commit the Party to any of the proposals although he had warm words for the commission's work.
Osborne is trying to navigate around any potential Labour attacks on tax cutting that harmed the Party so effectively in recent elections, although Ed Balls was quick to tour the TV studios to emphasise the line that the proposals will give most benefit to the rich.
Although Osborne was non-committal on explicit cuts he did pledge to rebalance the current tax system in favour of reducing personal taxes on families and – along with everyone else it seems – said he would hit polluters with new green taxes.
Elsewhere, Ed Balls told a Financial Services Forum he would introduce a new rule in the pre-Budget report to clampdown on what he sees as an abuse of the Asp rules.
It seems certain Asps will scrapped or hit with a spoiler charge high enough to deter any clients from using the product after Balls warned of the 'danger it contradicts the view we have taken on forced annuitisation at 75'.
Balls seems to believe it is all the industry's fault for marketing the product outside its original intention, although it would have had to have seen a very short-sighted Treasury that did not see this coming ever since the rules were first conceived.
Some in the industry say this statement should be used as a rallying call to try and convince the Treasury of the potential benefits of allowing Asps an audience outside the Plymouth Brethren, both in terms of Treasury revenue and incentivising saving.
But Balls' comments show the Treasury looks extremely unlikely to budge on its principal of forced annuitisation at 75, no matter how strong the lobbying is.
'Bring it on' seems to be the sentiment coming from Tory sources if, after the PBR, the political debate moves squarely back to a straight argument on forced annuitisation.
The Tories have long favoured a full relaxation in this area through the retirement income fund and also have the LibDems on their side after their tax commission called for the scrapping of forced annuitisation.
There are also forces eager to hit the Treasury with a religious discrimination charges if the Asp approach is shut-off completely – as a way of bringing the forced annuitisation debate to court – so the Treasury will be very wary of meandering down this route.

Keane pipped for medal after brave late charge
Team Ireland missed out on their first medal of the World Para Swimming European Championships in Dublin as Ellen Keane finished fourth, narrowly edged out after an exhilarating 100m backstroke race.
Keane again progressed straight through to the final of this event which wouldn't be one of her strongest and at the 50m mark she was left with a considerable distance to make up.
Keane seemed to grow stronger as the race continued and she ate up the ground between herself and Toni Shaw from Great Britain. However, despite her late charge and a season's best performance, she lost out by less than a second.
Nicole Turner continued her promising championships as she again reached the final in the 100m backstroke S6, an event that is not amongst her strongest.
Her time of 1:37:94 was a strong showing as she finished in seventh place in the final. She now has a break until tomorrow when she will compete in her favourite event, the 50m Butterfly S6.
Jonathan McGrath got his championships under way and progressed through his heat to the final of the men's 100m backstroke S8. His time of 1:18:64 was good enough for a strong fifth-place finish.
Patrick Flanagan will also be pleased with his day's work as he recorded a new personal best in the 100m backstroke final, his second personal best performance this week.
Ailbhe Kelly also continued her positive week of performances as she reached the final in the 100m backstroke S8. Her time of 1:26:50 brought her a fifth-place finish.
Barry McClements also competed in the heats of the men's 100m backstroke but didn't progress to the finals; however, his best events are ahead this weekend.
Elsewhere, there was a European record from Germany's Verena Schott who took over a second from the mark she set herself in June.
France's Didier Ugo also recorded a European record of 1:03:10, beating a long-standing record set by James Crisp 18 years ago in the 100m backstroke S9.

When it comes to brain food, oatmeal is among the top recommendations from health and fitness experts. Eating well contributes to brain longevity as well as short-term benefits like learning new test material and performing well when tested. Oats are good for your brain for numerous reasons.
Oatmeal provides glucose, or blood sugar, which is your brain's basic fuel. That's why kids who eat a good breakfast perform better in school than those who don't, for example, notes National Public Radio. Since oatmeal is low on the glycemic index it provides a slow and steady rise in blood sugar that is long-lasting, which leads to several hours of sustained brain power. Sugary foods, in contrast, cause a sudden spike followed by a crash in blood-sugar levels.
Cholesterol Fighter
Oatmeal helps lower your cholesterol. In fact, it's one of the top five cholesterol-lowering food picks by MayoClinic.com thanks to its soluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps reduce "bad" low-density lipoprotein and also reduces cholesterol absorption into your bloodstream. Too much fat and cholesterol are possibly linked to brain damage similar to Alzheimer's disease, reports the UK's Independent newspaper. That's because fatty deposits to build up in your blood vessels, which in turn leads to brain damage over time due to decreased flow of oxygen-rich blood to your noggin. Eat 1.5 cups oatmeal and you get 6 g fiber.
Oats may have other properties that help prevent cognitive decline, according to researchers at the University of South Australia. These benefits are still theoretical. The researchers in 2010 were recruiting volunteers for a study to put their theory to the test. Pinpointing the brain-boosting benefits in food is important because many nations, including Australia and the United States, have aging populations. Mental disability due to age-related cognitive decline is major public health issue that has a large social and economic impact, notes university research professor Peter Howe in a February 2010 ScienceAlert.com article.
Additional Boost
Give your oatmeal a further nutritional boost by adding fruit like strawberries or blueberries to it, suggest the experts at MayoClinic.com. Berries also are considered good brain foods, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Including fruit boosts the fiber content of your breakfast as well. Throw in walnuts and you get omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants that improve mental performance, according to Shape magazine. Add some cinnamon and you boost the brain power potential of your oatmeal because cinnamon has properties that may improve cognitive function, according to a January 2011 "PLoS One" study.

Rofin, partner of Laser Resources offers welding service using laser technology.
It is now possible to weld seams near sensitive electronic components, to create invisible and aesthetic bonds with high-quality surfaces free from pores and debris after the welding process.
In principle all thermal polymers as well as some thermo-plastic elastomers can be welded. Overlap welding is the most common method for polymer welding: the upper layer needs to be transparent to the laser beam and the lower layer absorbs the laser radiation.
Hence, the welding process actually takes place within the component so that no contamination, vibration or heat stress sensitive components.
Depending on the requirement, Laser Resources' partner Rofin provides diode lasers with direct beam (SWD, DL-R series) or fibre coupling (SWD) and diode-pumped YAG lasers with scanner heads (SWD-Y Series, SW Disc).
These different lasers provide the necessary range of laser wavelengths (808, 940, 1030, 1064 nm) as well as weld path widths. This product range also offers maximum flexibility with respect to coloured polymers and choice of welding method - such as contour or quasi-simultaneous welding.
In addition to the above range of lasers, the StarShape C (CO2 laser with scanner) is available, an ideal tool for welding of thin polymer foils. Moreover, Rofin offers a range of total system solutions such as e.g. the PolyScan.
Rofin offers a laser solution for almost all requirements: a team of application engineers is ready to support your manufacturing process.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – An Indiana State Police trooper was seriously injured after being struck on the interstate Wednesday morning.
The crash happened on I-865 eastbound near the I-465 southbound ramp at mile marker 4. All eastbound lanes of 865 were closed as a result of the crash.
State police say a white van was stopped on the side of the road and the trooper stopped to check on it. As he was walking along the passenger side, the driver of a dark Ford smashed into the back of the officer's squad car.
"A car came along and struck his police car which was pushed into the van. The van then struck the trooper. He went airborne over the guard rail where he landed," said Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine.
The injured trooper is 5 year veteran Ronneal Williams. He suffered broken bones but stayed alert enough to call for help.
The crash again illustrates the danger troopers face on the job. Earlier this month another trooper got hurt after he pulled over to help clean debris off 465 and investigators say a driver who showed signs of intoxication slammed into his squad car.
"There's a lot of emergency vehicles that have to work on the side of the road. We're asking drivers for a little cooperation. We need people to pay attention and slow down and move over," said Perrine.
Indiana's move over or slow down law is pretty simple. Any time there's two lanes of traffic in the same direction drivers are required to move over one lane to give emergency crews room to work. If drivers can't move over, they need to slow down at least 10 miles below the posted speed limit.
"Anything with flashing emergency lights you have to slow down and move over and that's what we need people to do," said Perrine.
At this point, state police say it's not clear why the driver of the Ford veered onto the shoulder of road and caused the crash, but troopers remind all drivers to stay alert behind the wheel.
"Pay attention to what's important and that's driving. My life depends on it and your life depends on it. Everybody's life depends on paying attention while you drive," said Perrine.
In addition to the state trooper the other two people involved in the crash were taken to the hospital. They too are expected to be okay.

From the Bloggersphere
O Dock speculates about the return of sailing merchant ships when the oil runs out. This would be a very good thing for cargo, but travellers need a reliable schedule, so the future of intercontinental travel is:
Which brings me to The Invisible Workshop, where Ben outlines the training schedule for the Spanish National Regatta. Weights Mon and Weds, Running Tues, Rowing Fri and Sun. I assume that Sat is wasted schlepping round the house doing odd jobs. They are going to be fit as very fit fleas.

Oh, I love the idea of cruise ship passengers chained to the rowing benches.

I think this could work if marketed well.
The ship could be powered by sails and an electric motor. Passengers would defray the cost of the passage by spending time in the onboard gym. The rowing machines, stairmasters, and stationary bikes power generators that charge the ship's batteries. You get credit for the number of kilowatt-hours you produce.
It might be tough trying to market whips and chains (except to a very limited audience), but think of the potential of The Slim-Fast Cruise.
The taskmasters would become 'personal trainers'.
Lance Armstrong could probably ride for free.
