Estimating Potential Output as a Latent Variable
AbstractThis article proposes a new method for estimating potential output in which potential real gross domestic product (GDP) is modeled as an unobserved stochastic trend and deviations of GDP from potential affect inflation through an aggregate supply relationship. The output and inflation equations together form a bivariate unobserved-components model that is estimated via maximum likelihood through the use of the Kalman-filter algorithm. The procedure yields a measure of potential output and its standard error and an estimate of the quantitative response of inflation to real growth and the output gap.

Can herbs for arthritis help reduce your joint's pain?
The pain is unbearable. It's stubborn and won't go away. How can you improve arthritis pain for long-term with herbs for arthritis?
Arthritis is a general term for joint's pain, categorized as mild or severe, affecting one or more joints. It causes inflammation, pain, swelling, warmth or stiffness in the affected joint.
The three most common types are:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Gout
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, and results from wear and tear due to excessive use over the years or to old injuries in affected joints. It commonly affects people over 60 years of age.
Osteoarthritis mostly affects the large weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips and spine, causing pain and stiffness which is worst at the end of the day. The affected person may have difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, squatting or kneeling.
You can check osteoarthritis' severity by having an X-ray bone scan.
Causes of Osteoarthritis
There are several factors leading to osteoarthritis. The main causes include:
1) Accidents or serious injury to joints
This direct impact causes joint injury in varying degree of severity. You can still improve your joint if the injury is not too serious.
2) High heel shoe
Common use of high heel shoe may injure your foot, knee and back joints. You're recommended to use it only once a while. For usual use, choose flat shoe instead.
3) Bad Posture
Remember to sit and stand with your head and back straight up. Bad posture results in extra stress to the joints especially around neck and back. It causes poor blood circulation too.
4) Menopause
Women hormones are responsible to lock calcium in their bones. After menopause, when their hormones get lesser, calcium loss increases. This speeds up their joints wear and tear.
5) Unbalanced Diet
In your diet, acidic food mainly consists of meat, sugar and peanuts. Alkaline food includes fruits and vegetables in general.
When you take too much acidic food and less alkaline food, your blood becomes more acidic. As your body needs to maintain blood acid/alkaline (pH) level of 7.4, it will transfer calcium (alkaline substance) from the bones into the blood.
Therefore, acidic diet speeds up calcium loss in bones, causing osteoarthritis. Acidic body also causes chronic fatigue, high blood pressure and other diseases. For diet good for bone health, remember to:
- Reduce intake of acidic food. Take more fruits and vegetables.
- Prevent consumption of soft drinks as it is highly acidic.
- Control intake of coffee and tea as these drinks will increase calcium loss from bones too.
Besides this, you can take Ganoderma Lucidum herb for faster arthritis improvement. As herbs for arthritis, this fungus can balance your body acidic value. Therefore, it indirectly controls calcium loss from bones.

Report: Matt Lauer Nearly Bolted for ABCby Hilton Hater at . Comments
As NBC considers whether or not to fire Matt Lauer, a new report states that the network was nearly rid of the anchor a year ago.
According to New York magazine, Lauer was ever so close to leaving for ABC last year once his Today Show contract was up.
He nearly bolted once news spread that Ryan Seacrest was up for his job.
Joe Hagen writes that Lauer learned of the Seacrest rumor "while being forced to stand outside the security gate at the White House Christmas party because Ann Curry had forgotten her driver's license" and, as a result, grew especially bitter at NBC/
He had discussions about joining former Today Show co-host Katie Couric for a daytime talk show on ABC, but instead used these negotiations to bargain for a better deal at NBC.
And he ended up signing a new, $25 million/year deal.
And it's all been downhill ever since. Today Show ratings are tanking, Lauer has been blamed for Curry's firing and he recently admitted that many mistakes have been made.
Face it NBC, Good Morning America is the best. Fun and informational! I could watch The Today Show when Katie Curic was on there. Matt is cocky and has no reason.to be. Al gets on my nerves, he's not funny. The rest of them...I just don't know what NBC is thinking. GOOD MORNING AMERICA PUT A GREAT TEAM TOGETHER. It will take a miracle for The Today Show.
workin as a bartender will be his next mission in life.

Zheng Ousts Sharapova
Published March 14, 2010 12:00
INDIAN WELLS, CA, USA - She had flown under the radar since a shock run to the Aussie Open semifinals but on Sunday it was Zheng Jie's time to shine once again, ousting Maria Sharapova in three sets at Indian Wells.
Watch live tennis from Indian Wells this week on TennisTV!
After splitting sets with the No.10-seeded Sharapova, Zheng, the No.18 seed, was twice down a break early in the third set; but she kept plugging away with her fiery determination and backboard-like groundstrokes, eventually taking out the Russian megastar, 63 26 63. Highlights: Zheng vs. Sharapova
"I've played Maria lots of times before but never beat her, so today gives me a lot of confidence," Zheng said. "After Australia I believe I can do more and more."
"She's like a ball machine," Sharapova said. "She hits a lot of balls back, hits them deep... It was just very inconsistent from my end. I returned well - I'd have periods of good games, but then the problem was keeping them all together.
"It's not easy to lose. We're all competitors and we all want to win matches."
Check out pics from Friday night's Hit For Haiti right here!
Other Sunday winners were No.2 seed Caroline Wozniacki, No.4 seed Elena Dementieva, No.5 seed Agnieszka Radwanska, No.11 seed Marion Bartoli, No.16 seed Nadia Petrova, No.19 seed Aravane Rezai and Alicia Molik.
Dementieva lost the first three games of her match but pulled it together quickly to beat Kirsten Flipkens, 64 62. Highlights: Dementieva vs. Flipkens
"It probably wasn't my best match. I feel I need to practice more," Dementieva said. "You go through a difficult day like that and just move forward."
Wozniacki beat No.32 seed Maria Kirilenko at night, 60 63, improving to 4-0 lifetime against Kirilenko, 8-0 in sets. Highlights: Wozniacki vs. Kirilenko
Radwanska beat No.31 seed Gisela Dulko, 61 60. Dulko had taken out Justine Henin in the second round. Highlights: Radwanska vs. Dulko
Molik, in her best result since returning to the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour from a year of retirement last summer, reached the fourth round with a crushing 60 62 defeat of Elena Baltacha. Baltacha, who was a qualifier into the draw, had taken out Li Na - the first Top 10 win of her career - a round earlier.
"I'm gutted I couldn't produce the performance I wanted to today," Baltacha said. "I thought Alicia played a very smart game and caused me a lot of problems. She's more experienced than I am at being in that position and it showed. I'm learning all the time and next time I'm in that position I'll handle it better. The week has been fantastic. It's a big positive and I have to remember that."

Introduction: Basic Introduction of flybacks and the driver circuit
Flybacks: What are they? How to get one? How to use it?

Disclaimer: A flyback is not a toy. You must accept the fully consequences of your actions should you build a flyback system.
The first important thing to note is the high voltage. Extremely high voltages of 40kV can be generated. 40kV is more than enough to jump a rather large air gap! Although the nominal output current is not that high, around 10mA at most, it is still dangerous. Furthermore, the output is of high frequency (20kHz +) and our nerves are not very sensitive to it. Hence very little or no sensation of shock is felt, even as significant currents flow through your body.
Secondly, the arc itself is a danger point. Arcs are plasma, and has temperatures of thousands of degrees. Although the low current associated with the flyback makes it small and therefore not too destructive, it will easily set on fire any flammable materials, like insulation. High voltage burns through insulation like nothing. Also, any wood which comes in contact with the arc will also catch fire.
In addition, since the arcs can jump a gap, and is very hot, contact with the arc will immediately burn the arcing points. The injury (mostly burns) may be small, but it can cause one to involuntarily jump or jerk away from the power source, and hurt himself by knocking whatever is behind him. Also, the high voltage arc will destroy most electronic equipment or electrical appliances it comes in contact with, directly, or indirectly.
Finally, although the overall device isn't very dangerous if precautions are made, it can become lethal if a high voltage capacitor was charged. Even small capacitors can discharge several thousand amps and can cause heart fibrillation. Hence, the use of cascades to multiply output voltage, or connecting capacitors for pulse discharges is highly discouraged for beginners!
This is probably one of the best and easiest project for someone who is familiar with electronics, and wants to venture into high voltage. It requires little skills to set up the circuit, and only simple adjustments concerning the circuit is required. Although the power involved may not be very high (especially the low current due to the thin windings of the flyback), a small mistake might cause severe Radio Frequency (RF) burns. However, if safety precautions are taken, some marvelous high frequency arcs can be generated. However, if you have never experimented with HV before, I recommend you start with a less dangerous electrostatic project.
As far as I know of, this should be the easiest circuit with which a high voltage output can be achieved. The original version of this circuit used 2 transistors. Burak (link to the page) modified it to work with a single transistor making it even easier and cheaper to build. Sam at powerlabs has also done the same circuit and has also achieved some very nice results with a nice flyback.
The flyback transformer operates at high frequency, unlike a normal transformer. As such, the input has to be of high frequency. This has to be generated by a circuit, and in this case, a one transistor circuit. The one transistor circuit is easy and cheap to build, but has some drawbacks. When operated at higher inputs, the transistor tends to overheat and die (it gets very hot)... but still, it works great for many things such as drawing arcs, making ion motors, running cascades, charging HV caps, small Jacob's ladders, plasma globes and perhaps a small tesla coil, or a marx generator.
On the right you can see the schematic. That's how easy it is!
The principle of operation is as simple as the circuit itself:
When powered is applied, the transistor will conduct current in the flyback primary, through R1 and R2. This induces a current in the secondary windings and the feedback winding. The feedback coil will generate a current, which will trigger the transistor to stop conducting. The magnetic field in the ferrite core collapses and a HV spike will appear on the secondary windings by induction. Also, there will be no longer any feedback current on the feedback windings, and the primary conducts again. This cycle repeats several thousand times a second, and the cycle will repeat at a natural frequency. By having such a feedback system, adjustments are minimal, and the circuit becomes dynamic. This can easily be seen as the frequency of the arc grows higher as the arc is drawn. The arc then becomes ultrasonic is drawn longer.
The heart of the circuit is a ferrite-cored flyback transformer. There are several different types of flybacks, and any device using a cathode ray tube will contain one (this includes oscilloscopes, televisions, monitors, and others). There are many types of flybacks out there. The really old ones have disc shaped secondarys, removable primarys, no rectification (or a removable high voltage rectifier) and might look something like this:
Most computer monitors and televisions nowadays use flybacks which have the high voltage rectifier built in. Although a HV rectifier is useful if you want to charge up capacitors or experiment with ion streams, having the rectifier built in is not desired for most high voltage experiments, as it will make the output half wave, and in that way make the output voltage ~55% lower than it would be without it. The peak power remains the same, and adding a filter capacitor can correct that problem, but it also requires a resistor to limit the current drawn from the cap during arcing, and it is a pure DC supply, useless for plasma globes and other experiments requiring AC. The CRT on TVs and monitors is also a high voltage capacitor, and you could use it as such in an experimental HV DC power supply. Also note that the even newer flybacks out in the market today have the voltage divider and focus control built in. Some don't even have the core visible - these are useless for this circuit.
So, overall, flybacks with built in rectifiers are still usable, but you should look for one that has either a removable rectifier (sometimes the rectifier is inside a tube that sticks out from the flyback, other times it is encapsulated in epoxy next to it. Either way, removing it is a good idea if you're able to). The best flybacks come from old TV's or monitors, specially the larger ones, and have a disk shaped secondary. Black and white TV flybacks tend to have a higher internal capacitance and higher step-up ratio, whilst monitor flybacks are not very useful, as far as the modern ones are concerned. If your flyback was used in association with a cascade, you can expect to obtain no more than perhaps 15kV from it (with 12V input). However, if it was free-standing, over 30kV may be obtainable (with higher input voltages). Nominal output current is 1-2mA, and arcing current can be as high as 10mA and above.
Here is a picture of some of my flybacks:
I will be using the 'olden flyback'. As you can see, the secondary is much fatter than the modern flyback. Disked Shaped secondary flybacks (like the one shown previously) are even better. The fatter secondary usually indicates a larger number of secondary turns and a proportionally higher output! Unfortunately, these flybacks are very difficult to get nowadays and therefore I shall use my existing one for the time. (Got them for $5 each at the junk shop). Looking at the modern flyback, the HV output is usually connected to a 'horn'. You can use a multimeter to find which is the secondary ground. Connect one to the HV output and test all the pins at the bottom. The one with a big resistance is the secondary ground. This particular model is rectified.
Now where do you get the flybacks from? Either find one at the junk shop, or get one from an old television. The best flybacks come from the big olden black and white TVs. Older is usually better. However, note that if you remove your flyback from an old TV it may well have it's secondary winding burned out... Flybacks are built tough, but they are high voltage parts, and as such they tend to have a limited useful life. If it is the primary that is burned out, than it may simply be removed as you will wind a new one either way. The general rule of thumb: The fatter the secondary, the better.
But what on earth is a flyback?
Basically, a flyback is a high voltage Line OutPut Transformer (LOPT), which powers Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) filaments (basically, powering all those televisions and computer monitors). A flyback is a special transformer which in conjunction with the horizontal output transistor/deflection circuits boosts the low voltage power supply to the 10 to 30 KV for the CRT as well as provide various secondary lower voltages for other circuits (that's why there are so many pins at the bottom of a flyback), which power the logic, tuner, vertical deflection circuits, video signal, and CRT filaments. A flyback outputs high frequency (AC) high voltages which must be converted into DC by a rectifier to be used by the various components.
In this case, we are using the main High Voltage source. Olden flybacks have removable rectifiers which make them ideal for powering plasma globes (requires AC) and Jacob's ladders, and most modern flybacks have a build in rectifier or uses a voltage multiplier, in which will not be very useful except to power ion motors and such.
For more information on flybacks, read this excellent page.
Before using the single transistor circuit, some preparation has to be done about the flyback.
First remove the original primary winding (if there are any) and remove any other stuff on it. Ferrite is partially conductive, and thus is is important to insulate the primary windings from the core. A plastic coil form, some plastic sheet wrapped around it, or some turns of insulating tape will work fine. Although the secondary is naturally insulated from the core, capacitive coupling induces quite a voltage on it. Furthermore, don't try to take apart the flyback, and handle it carefully. The ferrite core is quite brittle, and will surely crack if dropped.
Now wind wind 4-6 turns of thick wire on the core. There is no fixed number and you can experiment yourself. Hold it in place with some glue, and than wrap a few turns of insulation tape over it to prevent any mishaps (such as the secondary HV wire getting to close to it and injecting thousands of volts into the transistor or the power supply). Remember to insulate the ferrite core first
Your flyback should be like the diagram above now.
Next is to make the feedback windings. You can use thinner wire and around 2-4 turns should be okay. This depends on your transistor, and need some adjustments for best performance. Secure it again, and insulate for safety.
Remember to use well insulated wires. At high voltages, corona can be seen on the wires! Always insulate everything well. Now your flyback should look something like the diagram shown below.
Your flyback is completed! Now the circuit.
When you hook up all the components, here's how it will look like:
When running of the circuit, the pins at the bottom of the flyback might spray, and might arc to the core. Insulating them with epoxy (the other pins) helps, since they are not needed anyway. Only the HV wire, and the ground wire is used. It is possible to extract an extremely high voltage from a flyback (perhaps over 40kV) by increasing the primary voltage, secondary insulation breakdown will eventually breakdown. The flyback would be rendered dead!
While operating at lower voltages like from a normal 9V battery (not advisable... the battery gets drained extremely fast), R1 could be replaced with a lower value resistor like 150 Ohms. Flyback secondaries are wound with extremely thin wire, and will not handle high current outputs... up to 10mA might be possible, but the value is usually 1 or a few mA... but then again, you will not know when the secondary is ruined so experiment with higher inputs at your own risk. In most normal cases of operation, the flyback should remain cool even when run at the peak unlike a normal transformer. The transistor will however, get Very Hot if you push it, and will probably burn much before your flyback transformer does.
Anyhow, 200 - 250 Ohms will operate the circuit as low as 6V without any problem. The power consumption on R2 (27 Ohms) increases as the input voltage rises. Current inducted on the feedback winding uses R2 to reach ground and might get warm too. Check the temperature and get a higher wattage resistor if necessary, however, they do remain quite cool. The transistor on the other hand does get very hot! It is advisable to mount it on a huge heatsink! Of course the 2N3055 transistor can be replaced with another similar transistor of a high power rating.
Finally, when everything is wired out, carefully bring the HV output (usually a fat red wire with a suction cup thing on the end) towards the bottom of the flyback (where all the pins are). The one which the HV arcs to like mad is ground. If there is a lot of arcing at the bottom, the output might be reversed (i.e. the HV wire is ground). In this case, do the same and find the other pin and ground it. This will solve the problem.
Components you need:
1 2N3055 NPN transistor (get more in case they blow)
1 Large heat sink for the transistor. (Really large)
1 240 Ohms, 5W resistor.
1 27 Ohms 1W resistor.
Flyback, hookup wire, solder, soldering iron, etc...
And a good power supply (6-24VDC capable of at least a few amps)
Updates! 16 Mar 04
I was not able to construct this circuit due to the lack of a good power supply unit... however I have recently acquired a 34A 12VDC power supply unit! (That's 408W of power!) The circuit is up and running.
Here is a photo of my current setup. It's free standing and messy, but it works. I'll mount it in a nice box when all the fine tuning has been done. I am using a 12VDC switch mode power supply capable of supplying 34A! A car battery or a Lead acid battery would work too (and of course be more portable). The power supply must be capable of supplying around 3 - 10A... this would depend on the resistor values and of course the voltage. Remember to place a large DC filter capacitor between the + and - of the power supply if you are using some expensive power supply unit. The filter cap will smooth out all the HV spikes and nonsense coming back. Ideally, I should be using more, perhaps 50,000uF of capacitance.. the largest caps I have now are 4700uF each... so total capacitance I am using is almost 10000uF... I am planning to get a 50000uF cap soon though.
I am using a 2N3055 power transistor... it's cheap and easy to find, though not powerful enough for large power inputs. The resistors and everything else don't get too hot, but the transistor DOES. It becomes Very hot very quickly even with my heat sink in place. The heat sink will be upgraded to a larger one.
When everything is completed and working, there would be a small purple arc between the two terminals. The arc produces a hissing sound and is associated with its frequency. As the arc is drawn, it develops into a high pitched hiss and slowly increase in frequency until it becomes ultrasonic (above 20,000hz) and it becomes quiet. I hooked up a small flyback from a modern tv, and it starts an arc at around 1.5cm. As a rough guide to calculate the voltage, it would be about 1.1kV per mm.
If it is not working, most probably the transistor has malfunctioned, of the flyback secondary is ruined... (shorted out). Check if the transistor is drawing current, and feel the flyback secondary. If it is warm (shouldn't be) the secondary is probably ruined. You might also want to check the windings and see if you didn't connect them wrongly.
More Updates! 7th June 04
The two large 4700uF caps have been replaced by a much smaller 62,000uF 40V capacitor bank to filter the HV spikes. The heat sink has also been upgraded to a huge one and the transistor is much cooler. I noticed the resistors were starting to get quite hot so I'll be replacing them with 5 or 10W resistors just to make sure they don't blow. (My 1W resistor is blackening..) Once everything is done, I'll mount it on a board, or in a box.
Pictures coming soon.
Want to drive a flyback but don't have time to get the components or lacking a power supply?
There is a great alternative! This was suggested by mws on the 4hv forum. The photo below is from him.
Parts List:
1. Insulated Wires
2. A Flyback
3. A SMPSU (Switch Mode Power Supply Unit) These are used for low-voltage lighting. The are different from normal iron-cored transformers (which run at 50-60hz and are thus not suitable). These are electronic transformers with lots of components inside.
The SMPSU outputs a high frequency (usually 20kHz), low voltage current that just happens to be perfect for driving a flyback, typically at 20khz. Basically, this is what a good SMPSU would look like. In this case, the 11.5V output will be used. This model supports a hefty 210 watts. All you need for an excellent flyback driver! However, in where I live in, it is difficult to obtain such a SMPSU. So I am currently using an electronic halogen lighting transformer. Try to get the good models (above 70W). Apparently, where I stay, I can't find any shop selling high powered electronic transformers so I am stuck with lousy 50W transformers which blows up if run for extended periods of time.
What do do now?
1. Wind the Primary Coil
You need to make the Primary Coil. Insulate the core with many layers of good insulating tape first. Just wind around 10 turns and tape it all in place. If you experience any problems with the output, you may need to add a few turns to your primary. If there's not enough inductive reactance on your primary, you may be triggering the protection circuit. Most SMPSU have a protection circuit. Anything from 5 to 15 turns will work. Then again, fewer turns would result in a higher voltage output...
2. Connect them up!
Follow the diagram above, and wire it up... and you're done!
3. Locate the HV ground pin
Now all you have to do is locate your high voltage return pin. Simply turn the unit on, and very carefully bring the high voltage output wire down to the pins on the bottom of the flyback. The pin that it arcs to like mad is the pin you're looking for. You'll want to attach a length of wire to that pin in order to keep it from melting into nothing.
4. You're done!
It's completed! Your ultra simple flyback driver which is easy to build and use!
1st September 2004 - Testing using a non rectified flyback driven by a 50W halogen light transformer. (Circuit 2)
Here is my ultra simple setup! Due to lack of a good Power Supply for the single transistor circuit, I am using a lousy Electronic Halogen Lighting transformer. I will be using the good old flyback (white one) for the experiments. Also, remember: never, let the HV lead or the flyback itself get close to any of the primary side components. *Updated.. I have fixed together a new single transistor circuit.
Above you can see a pictures of the flyback operating. The output voltage is close to 20+kilovolts, which is enough to ionize the air without any ground nearby, as can be seen. The corona extends up to .5cm into the air, and once struck the arc can be pulled up to little over 2cm. It makes a loud hissing sound. In this 1/2 second exposure, the electrical arcs can be seen arcing to ground. The rightmost picture is a 1/42 second exposure with flash. It's a bright HOT arc! The metal electrode is currently red hot and ready to melt. Lots of sparks.
Finally, some nice arc pictures through xenon tubes.
Updates 16th Mar 04
Due to my latest acquisition of a 408W 12V power supply unit, I am able to carry out the more powerful single transistor driver experiments. As expected, there was a significant improvement over the 50W lightning transformer driver. The arcs look different (less lightning like) and have a characteristic hissing sound associated with its frequency. A much higher voltage is obtained and the arcs can be drawn longer as well.
It is more powerful and much higher voltages can be obtained. I am currently using the smaller cylindrical type ('modern') flybacks. I got it for $5 at a TV repair shop, and its supposedly used in small black and white televisions.
The output cable is rated 20kVDC only, compared to the 40kVDC cable from my bigger flyback, from a large colour TV. However, with 5 turns on the primary, the smaller flyback produces longer, hotter and more powerful arcs... and of course a higher voltage, than the bigger flyback... I am very happy with the performance of this small flyback. It is small and reliable. I might try getting another similar transformer and winding it in an anti-parallel configuration for higher voltage, but not just yet.
As can be seen from the picture, I wound 5 turns as the primary, and 3 turns as the feedback. I might change the primary to 4 turns to get a higher voltage though... anyhow, the flyback works wonderfully and produces nice hissing purple arcs. Now the photos :-)
This is a xenon flash tube from a disposable camera. You can see the purple arcs from the air, as well as the interesting white arc patterns in the tube. The tube gets hot quite fast obviously... I learnt it the hot way...
Another lovely photograph of the arcs inside the xenon flash tube. Both air and xenon arcs are clearly visible.
Arcs of the flyback. It is difficult to focus accurately... meanwhile, this photo should do. The arcs are much more purple in reality.
It is a must to view the flyback videos. Although it's big, it's worth the wait!

Video Explanation:
The video is in 3 parts.
In the first part, you can see electrical arcing between the two electrodes. That's a 2cm arc. Almost 30,000 volts and can be drawn up to 4cm long. The second part is a close up of the arcs MELTING the electrodes. The third one is an overview. MUST see! The flyback used is the fat white one, and is powered by a 50W halogen light transformer.
Now you have this circuit running, and you have played with it's beautiful arcs, maybe fried a few bugs or cooked a grape, and burned some paper, and you wonder what it can be really used for... Well, the sky is the limit! You can start off by adding a full wave rectifier to make the output DC, which can than be used to power ion motors (729KB), charge capacitors, etc. (or just use a modern rectified flyback)
The non-rectified flyback can be used to power Jacob's ladders, a small Tesla Coil, ion engines, and much, much more... With a cascade, very high outputs can be obtained. But first, make sure to check my plasma globe page to see an awesome use for this device! Otherwise, look below to see my flyback powered Jacob's ladder!
What is a Jacob's Ladder?
A Jacob's Ladder is the type of high voltage "climbing arc" display seen in many old Sci-Fi movies. Jacob's Ladder come in all shapes, styles, and sizes. So how does it work? The simple explanation is that an arc starts at the bottom and due to the fact that hot air rises, tends to move up the diverging rods until they are too far apart for the voltage provided by the power source. Once this arc is struck the current in the arc will actually increase to the transformer's limit.
Normally the transformer would try to bring the voltage down as current increased. But just above the arc exists a path that the transformer can easily maintain and which in fact will lower its current. At the top of course we are not only at the upper limit of the transformer but it is also where the current is very low and so the arc breaks apart only to re-ignite down below.
However, there are some dangers. The Electrical discharges in air are also a producer of ozone which may be a health hazard. They also can produce significant Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Also note that the rods get very hot! Always allow them to cool down before adjustments.
Here you can see my Jacob's Ladder setup.
It's two stiff wires bent and stuck on a plastic box (base)
The red wire connects one end to the HV lead of the flyback and the white one is connected to ground. As you can see, it's really small, simple and easy to make. I did the whole set up in less than a minute.
The background is a black file so the arcs can seen more easily.
First light!
Nice, HOT bright arcs form. Not bad at all! Here you can see it starting from the bottom.
(Apparently, my measly flyback with a pathetic power supply can't generate large arcs, also, the bottom wires were too close and it kept re-igniting before reaching the top.)
... after some simple adjustments...
MUCH better!
Here in a 1sec exposure, you can see the arcs rising up towards the top and extinguishing. After continuous use, the smell of ozone becomes apparent and the wires get really really hot.
By coating wires with salt, bright yellow arcs form instead of the orange, fiery-like arcs you can see here. Using other salts also yield different colours.
Here is an short sequence animated GIF of the arc going up the ladder. (400+kb)
This is basically a diagram of how I wired everything up. It's very simple actually. I've tried for both AC and DC and they both work fine.
*This will only work for DC, which makes this an extremely useful toy to make if you have a DC flyback!
Here you can see a simple diagram of the construction of a ion motor. The stand the the wire (yellow) are conductive. Bend a wire as shown in the diagram. The wire balances on top of the stand, with the tips pointing in different directions. When a high voltage is applied, there will be a hissing sound and ions will start to spray off the sharp end of the wires. This propels the wire in a circle and keeps spinning. The speed can be amazingly quite fast!

Most Disturbing Movies of All TimeA list of the most distressing movies of all time that will get under you skin and stay there!
Terrified of taking the stairs after dark because a girl may suddenly appear out of nowhere and start crawlling on it, curled upside down!? Do you often imagine and notice a scarred girl's face with beady eyes giggling away at you in the darkness of the night? Well you should not worry much as doctors claim it's just the 'Post Traumatic Syndrome after Watching 'The Exorcist' (PTSWTE). Most movie goers after 1973 have claimed to face it at least once in their lifetime. Rated as the scariest, most disturbing movie of all time, The Exorcist, based on a real life account, manages to make people petrified and hysterical, even after four decades since its formal release. The plot revolves around a young girl who is possessed by demons. The events' surrounding the state of the girl thereafter and her subsequent exorcism is the main story line. The spider walk on the stairs, green vomit oozing out of the girls mouth, her head making a 360 degree turn and she assaulting herself with a cross are some of the famous images from the movie. The movie was digitally re-mastered in 1998 which made viewing more nerve wracking because of the life like sights.
Interestingly, it wasn't the violence and the profanities that distressed most people, but the subliminal messages which terrified the viewers psychologically. Banned in some countries for its appalling and religious content, it was the first movie where paramedic teams were kept outside theatres because people either fainted or went into some kind of shock after watching it. The movie has since then crossed a whopping $500 million mark as its earnings worldwide.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - A life threatening dog attack, surgery and nearly 70 stitches, but Jack Gaines acts like any other happy 22 month old.
Blair E. Batson doctors were so pleased with his recovery they let Jack go home on Easter Sunday, only 4 days after he was admitted to ICU.
"He was walking around with other kids, finding eggs. It's just a miracle," said Jack's father Brad Gaines.
Wednesday, March 31st Jack was playing in the yard when his grandmother's six year old Black Mouth Cur attacked. In a matter of seconds, the toddler's head was in the dog's jaws.
"It could have been a lot worse. I mean we're blessed because it could have been worse," said Jack's mother Robin Causey.
The dog has been euthanized. Jack and his parents have moved out of the grandmother's home and are living with another relative. Doctors question whether Jack's left eye will ever be able to open all the way. His parents offer a warning to other families.
"They need to be aware of what animals can do to little babies in two seconds. Go from my curly headed bright smiling beautiful little boy to stitches in his head and him not opening one eye," said Causey. "I really don't want any other parents to go through what we're going through. I would never wish this on anyone in the world."
Jack Gaines returns to Blair E. Batson Tuesday where doctors will decide whether he needs to undergo another surgery to fix his eye. A fund has been set at Regions Bank in Jack Gaines name to help his family.

Discover Chocolate and Live La Vida Cocoa!
The venue for the Origin Chocolate conference was the Tropical Institute - and it's fair to say that I have never attended a chocolate festival in a more beautiful space. This is a panorama of the entrance level rotunda with the tables for the exhibitors spaced around. A superbly inspiring space to host and attend a conference.

Probably one of the largest stores and by far spending the most on their Visual Merchandising in Amsterdam is De Bijenkorf. This department store is of course just like any other with the usual luxury and high street brands that one can view anywhere else in the world. OK, and, well the scheme is a little bit 'budget' for what we expect from a flagship store, so think Debenhams rather than Harvey Niks although they are trying and they do actually look rather good nonetheless.

We know who are the biggest names on Twitter, but who is hottest right now and why?
Last week, Forbes Magazine published their list of Social Networking Superstars, with big names like Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Eminem snagging the top spots with their combined total of Twitter followers and Facebook fans. We took a look at the numbers in a different manner, to find who is growing the fastest on Twitter and may some day be giving these superstars a run for their money.
The artists that simply gained the most new followers on Twitter last week were all big names. Top of the lists is California pop queen Katy Perry, with more than 415,000 new followers. Rihanna added close to 390,000 and Justin Bieber wasn't far behind with more than 380,000. Lady Gaga trailed with less than 300,000 new fans, and Miley Cyrus, sporting her new blond hairdo, added close to 285,000.
The list of artists that grew at the fastest rate looks exactly the same. However, the list of artists that are accelerating the fastest, in other words whose change in following is increasing at the highest rate, looks a little bit different.
On this list Miley Cyrus snags the top spot - apparently haircuts are big on Twitter. Victoria Beckham, who performed with the reunited Spice Girls at the Olympic closing ceremony, comes in second. Third on the list is Taylor Swift, who released a new single that is already topping the iTunes charts, and announced her upcoming album Red in a live webcast on Monday. Rapper and record producer Tyler the Creator, who has a somewhat controversial handle and is highly active on the social network, comes in at number four, and shoring up the rear is Justin Timberlake, in the midst of planning his wedding with fiancé Jessica Biel.
(In the interest of full disclosure, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney also made an appearance on this list, but given that he is not currently focused on building his musical career, was excluded from consideration.)
Liv Buli is the resident data journalist for music analytics company Next Big Sound. Buli is a graduate of New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute and her work has appeared in Newsweek Daily Beast, The New York Times Local East Village, Westchester Magazine and more.

*Trigger Warning*
Because being raped isn't traumatic enough, let's throw in some blame shame. Via Hartford Courant.
The woman allowed Fricker to go through her wallet and told him to take it, but Fricker demanded she take off her clothes. He then sexually assaulted her for several minutes while he pointed the gun at the children and threatened to sexually assault one of them. The attack stopped when another car pulled up and the woman screamed. Fricker fled and was arrested three days later in White Plains, N.Y.
In the civil suit, the woman claims Fricker had been in the hotel and garage behaving suspiciously days before the attack and on the afternoon of the attack, but the hotel failed to notice him, apprehend him or force him to leave, the Stamford Advocate reported. The suit also claims that during the attack security personnel did not see Fricker or stop him.
The hotel claims in their special defense that the hotel had not been notified about Fricker and that his acts were unforeseen and beyond their control, the newspaper reported
Thanks to Jaclyn for the heads up.

Has Michelle Obama's Let's Move Made a Difference in Three Years?
It's been a little over three years since Michelle Obama began her ambitious Let's Move initiative; the official anniversary was February 9. The goal is nothing short of eradicating childhood obesity "within a generation so that children born today will reach adulthood at a healthy weight." With those lofty goals, what's been accomplished so far?
The first lady announced yesterday a nationwide tour to celebrate the anniversary of Let's Move and answer that very question. "The tour will showcase progress and announce new ways the country is coming together around the health of our children," said the release on WhiteHouse.gov. "The national childhood obesity rate has leveled off, and even declined in some cities and states."
We took a look for ourselves.

Well the never-used ghoul feature has a glyph that makes the ghoul more survivable. I would expect that if the brez stays in 4.1 a similar glyph will (if it doesn't already on PTR) bring people back with some decent health and mana. Then it's just a question of what the priority is for that glyph and what slot it uses. If it's a minor that gives 100% health to the resurrectee then I'll be using it on my DK by the day after 4.1 arrives.

Sometimes it takes more than just the words "Sunday drive" to get out and actually do it. What if there were gems at the destination, just waiting to be discovered? What if a Sunday - or week-day - drive could result in a car boot (or large tote) filled with bargain clothes, brilliant books or cute craft, with some refreshments along the way? It's time to set your sights on the prize, and get out there and drive!
This small city is home to a footy team, a declining manufacturing industry and a revamped, rather desirable foreshore.
Many of the old buildings that were once home to our local carpet and glass-makers have taken on a new life filled to the brim with antiques.
What if there were gems just waiting to be discovered? Photo: Simon Schluter
Geelong Vintage Market
287-301 Melbourne Road, North Geelong; 5277 1186; geelongvintagemarket.com.au
The first off the Melbourne-Geelong Road is the former Pilkington Glass Factory, now a well set-out antique market, with 50 stallholders (the sellers themselves are rarely there, but staff look after you).
Items range from the 1800s to the late 1900s, but you'll find the odd Buzz Lightyear amongst the cool couches and plastic yellow 1970s lampshades. From the roof hangs the most extraordinary collection of motoring signs, for sale at the right price (which is quite a high).
Open 10am-6pm daily.
The Brougham Street Market
20 Brougham St; 5221 2490
This sprawling antique market takes up a former wool store in central Geelong. It's a true find if you love your clothes pre-worn and from the '70s. Sure, a $49 "vintage" Tonka Truck just looks like someone left it in the backyard for too long, but if you look hard you might uncover some unique furniture, or an original iMac.
Open Mon-Fri 10am-5.30pm, Sat & Sun 10am-6pm.
Mill Markets Newcomb
114 Bellarine Highway, Newcomb; 5248 2390; millmarkets.com.au
Shopping mecca: Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens in Daylesford. Photo: Eddie Jim
Out along the road to Portarlington and Queenscliff is this huge shed filled with vintage clothes, kitchenalia, stunning glass (plenty in the art deco-style) and 1970s' furniture. It's quite easy to get through quickly, but of course if you visit every one of the stalls you'll be here for hours.
Open 10am-6pm daily.
Little Creatures Brewery
Corner Fyans & Swanston Streets; 5202 4009; littlecreatures.com.au
Good collection: Geelong Vintage Market.
Time for a drink? While it looks like it's been here for years, this brewery is just weeks old; the red brick building was most recently a carpet factory.
Follow the long yellow path to a large outside eating/drinking area and an enormous light-filled indoor area complete with shipping containers, concrete floors and booths, benches and communal tables galore. Apart from the beers, ciders and wines, the cracking menu includes pizzas (from $17), frites ($8), and franks (from $12).
Open: Mon & Tue 11am-5pm, Wed-Fri 11am-9pm, Sat 8am-9pm and Sun 8am-5pm.
Thousands of international travellers make their pilgrimage here, and no, it's not to complain that the lattes aren't as good as they are in Melbourne. They come to buy up big at the famous surf shops (and their cheaper outlets) on the Surf Coast Highway.
Baines Beach Surf Factory Outlet
16 Baines Crescent; 5261 0057
This Rip Curl outlet is hidden in a very unglamorous industrial shed, but come here for surfwear bargains, like $199rrp Rip Curl watches on sale for $50 (one day only … sorry). See also the trough-loads of discounted hats, jeans, wetsuits and other surfing goodies.
Open 9am-5.30pm daily.
Quiksilver Factory Outlet
16 Baines Crescent; 5261 6947
This is where the Quiksilver and Roxy brands hide, spreading out over two levels of yet another rather unattractive industrial shed. The bargains can be brilliant (50 per cent off shorts and 70 per cent off leather jackets when we popped in) but even better; the people selling the bargains are fun and friendly.
Open 9.30am-5.30pm daily.
Surf City Plaza
61 Surf Coast Highway
This sprawling plaza is filled with plenty of surf labels, including Rip Curl, Billabong and Quiksilver, and well, everyone else. The main shops, which err on the size of mammoth, usually stock the current lines, so expect to pay full price. But if you're in the game for a surfboard is there really any better place to buy one?
Open daily, hours vary between shops.
Bomboras Cafe
Fisherman's Beach The Esplanade; 5264 7881; bomboras.com.au
Opposite the magnificent world of surfing (aka Surf City Plaza) is much-loved restaurant Bomboras, but closer to the actual water is its toned-down version.
This casual kiosk is perfect for a snack by the beach, and it's the only Torquay cafe that actually meets the sea. Staff are friendly and the food's reasonably priced (fish and chips come in at $10, and a ham, cheese and tomato toastie will set you back $6).
Open 7.30am-3pm-ish (depending on the wind, sometimes open till 5pm).
Piper Street screams "foooood", but this town also hosts great minds who have a certain je ne sais quoi when it comes to interior design.
Perhaps bring your credit card along with you on this day trip.
12-14 Piper Street
Is that French for shop? Je ne sais pas. Owner Darryl Mossman certainly collects some lovely French items on his annual sojourn to the Paris Maison & Objet (fair), and it's these and the handmade cushions with European cloth and duck feathers (from $110), and handmade lampshades that buyers love.
Prices for the smattering of antiques Mossman has on display are very reasonable, so you won't need to max your credit card out for a special piece or two.
Open Wed-Sun 10am-4pm.
Lauriston Press
37B Piper Street; 5422 1710; lauristonpress.com.au
Goodbye blank walls. This shop may have bare wooden floorboards, a corrugated iron roof and be inaccessible for those with pushers or wheelchairs, but it holds an excellent collection of country- and nature-inspired prints.
It's full of original works on paper, including woodcut prints. Artist Sarah Gabriel set up Lauriston Press in 2008, and you'll probably see her when you pop in. If you can't afford the big stuff (plenty are in the $400-$800 range), go for the cards.
Open Thur-Mon 10am-5pm.
116-118 Mollison Street; 0412 384 056; mollisons.net.au
Mollisons is set off the main fame drag of Piper Street, but makes the most of its rather gothic former bank home (check out the external Art Nouveau lettering).
Inside, a well-selected gathering of baby and children's gifts, homewares including lamps, and jewellery take up quite a few rooms. There's luxury accommodation on offer here, too, and uniquely, if you like what you see (and sleep on), you can buy it too!
Open 10am-5pm daily.
Mr Carsisi
37C Piper Street; 5422 3769; mrcarsisi.com
Mr Carsisi has been dishing up Middle-Eastern food in a former iceworks on Piper Street for a while now and it's a local and visitor fave.
The mezze ($7-$14) are popular, and its 2014 menu is more about sharing plates and set menus (once only available for groups of eight or more). This year couples (and small groups) can join in the set menu for lunch for $30 each for five small courses.
Open 11.30am to end of dinner Fri-Tue.
These days this day-tripping fave is more luxury spas and fancy dining than candles and rainbow flags, but it's always been home to a good book.
Paradise Bookshop
46 Vincent Street; 5348 1288; paradisebooks.com.au
It's been a fixture in a Georgian-style former bank building on Vincent Street for over 20 years, and it seems to have grown and grown (and changed its name) over the time; there are 14 rooms packed with a huge selection of new and old books.
Pop in here for a look, and you'll probably end up buying something: maybe a relatively cheap Taschen book on architect Le Corbusier ($24.95) or a current summer novel or two.
Open 10.30am-6pm daily.
The Bookbarn
Lake Daylesford; 5348 3048
Drive off the main road, past the famous two-chef's hatted restaurant, the Lake House, and over the bridge to find the lakeside Bookbarn.
The neighbouring Boat House Cafe burnt down over a year ago, and remains a fenced-off bit of nothing, but the ducks still hang around the picnic area and there are heaps of secondhand books (and a small cafe) in this cute barn. Open Mon-Fri 10am-5pm-ish, Sat & Sun 10am-6pm-ish.
The Amazing Mill Markets
105 Central Springs Road; 5348 4332; millmarkets.com.au
Just out of town is another of the Mill Markets group, and you're bound (excuse the pun) to find loads of second-hand books among the collectables, memorabilia, vintage clothing and bric-a-brac.
Though it might take you a few hours to find them. Open 10am-6pm daily.
Wombat Hill House
Wombat Botanic Gardens; wombathillhouse.com.au
Who doesn't love a cafe that has a blackboard listing wombat sightings on its wall? If you've spotted one in the district (or perhaps two on East St, like someone else has), you can jot it down here.
This is the little sister to Alla Wolf Tasker's fancy Lake House, and it's in a terrific location up in Daylesford's lush Botanic Gardens.
Park at the top and follow the path down, or walk up from town, then enjoy coffee, a zingy beetroot salad ($8 small) and some of the chunky cakes for your efforts.
Open 9am-4pm daily until Jan 13, closed Tue & Wed after that.
The Dandenongs are just so deliciously fresh and green, yet only minutes from Melbourne. Hop out of the car, sniff the tree-scented air and get into some art and craft.
The Real Thing Craft Centre
13-15 Olinda-Monbulk Road; 9751 1616; therealthingcraftcentre.com.au
Pass by the iron sheep and rams out front and enter this many-roomed wonderland of Aussie gifts; things you'd only usually find in posh stores; and things that really shouldn't have been invented (those signs saying "Teenagers, you know it all, so act now, move out, get a job …"). Open Mon-Fri 10.30am-5pm, Sat & Sun 10am-5.30pm.
Red Gum Gallery
Shop 3 47-53 Olinda-Monbulk Road; 9751 2546; redgumgallery.com
Craving a bit of local craft? Much of the craft here is locally made and totally deserves its shelf space. There's stunning pottery by Olinda local Olga Maxwell - a small platter starts around $45.
If you're into souvenirs, buy an Australian animal hand puppet made by Nessie Shand. They're cute critters, a little bit quirky, and, yay, they're not made in China.
Open Mon-Fri 11am-4.30pm, Sat & Sun 10am-5pm.
Geppetto's Workshop
25 Main Road; 9751 0005; geppettosworkshop.com.au
Oh lordy, a toy shop that actually avoids toys with batteries? Brilliant.
Special aunts, uncles, parents, kids and kids-at-heart will enjoy this cute shop which has everything real (that is, made of wood) that a child could want.
Its bigger bro is in the nearby (and equally cute) town of Sassafras. Open 10am-5pm daily.
Pie in the Sky
43 Olinda-Monbulk Road; 9751 2128
You could come here for its name alone but thankfully its pies do live up to most folks' expectations (gourmet pie with sauce, $6.90). Of course, they also offer the Devonshire tea ($9.50), which is a Dandenongs' day-tripper staple. Open Mon-Fri 10am-4.30pm, Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 9.30am-5pm.

Clashes erupt in Bangladesh after top Islamist is spared death sentence
Bangladesh executed Abdul Kader Mullah, a senior Jamaat-e-Islami leader who was convicted of war crimes committed during the 1971 war for independence from Pakistan. Four other leading figures in the party have also been convicted, but Mullah is the first to have been executed. Jamaat-e-Islami has warned it will avenge his death, and called for a general strike on Dec. 15; at least three JI activists were killed in clashes with police.
The war crimes tribunal convicted in absentia and sentenced to death two former leaders of the Al-Badr force, a subgroup of the Jamaat-e-Islami that was involved in the kidnapping, torture, and execution of over 200 Bangladeshi intellectuals during the country's war of independence from Pakistan in 1971. One of the men, Chowdhury Mueen Uddin, a founder of the Muslim Council of Britain and now a UK citizen, serves as a trustee of Muslim Aid in London. The other man, Ashrafuzzaman Khan, now a US citizen, became chief of a New York branch of Islami Circle of North America. Neither of the two is likely to be punished, as the UK will not deport persons to a country where they have been sentenced to death, and the US has no extradition treaty with Bangladesh.
A war crimes tribunal sentenced Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, a top member of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party, to death after convicting him of torture, rape, and genocide during the war with Pakistan in 1971. The defense plans to appeal.
The Supreme Court sentenced Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdul Kader Mullah to death, rejecting an appeal against the the life sentence handed down in February by a war crimes tribunal. The Jamaat-e-Islami, which was banned in July, has called for a nationwide strike tomorrow.
Four Bangladeshi bloggers who claim to be atheists have been charged with defaming Islam and face prison sentences of up to seven years. About 200 activists from Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, clashed with police in Rajshahi; at least 10 people were injured, including a journalist. Another Shibir protest was foiled in Dhaka.
Fresh Myanmar clashes signal growing Muslim desperation
Canada said it would close its embassy in Dhaka on Sunday, Aug. 4, as a security precaution. Local Government and Rural Development Minister Syed Ashraful Islam said that even though the high court has ruled that the registration of the Jamaat-e-Islami party was illegal, the government has no plans to ban the party, and the party can legalize its registration if certain conditions are met.
The high court in Dhaka ruled that the Jamaat-e-Islami party is illegal because it is against secularism. The decision, which the JI plans to appeal, would prevent the Islamist party from slating candidates in the general election early next year.
The country's war crimes tribunal sentenced Jamaat-e-Islami politician Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid to death. Mujahid led a militia responsible for the deaths of intellectuals and other leaders who supported the country's independence from Pakistan; as many as 3 million people are said to have died during the nine-month war of secession. At least two people were killed in clashes with police as thousands demonstrated against the life sentence imposed on Jamaat leader Ghulam Azam.
The country's war crimes tribunal sentenced 91-year-old Ghulam Azam, former head of the Jaamat-e-Islami, to life in prison for genocide and crimes against humanity during the 1971 war for independence from Pakistan. In its ruling, the court called Jaamat a "criminal organization" and suggested that "no such anti-liberation people should be allowed to sit at the helm of executives of the government, social or political parties, including government and non-government organisations." Jamaat, the country's main Islamist party, called a daylong strike, and supporters clashed with police in Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Comilla, Bagerhat, and Barishal.
A court sentenced 10 members of the banned Islamist group Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) to death for assisting with a suicide bombing at a lawyers' association office in Gazipur in 2005 that killed nine people and injured at least 100 more. JMB founder Sheikh Abdur Rahman and five other leaders of the group were hanged in March 2007 after a government crackdown.
Behind the rise of Bangladesh's Hifazat
The death toll from clashes between rioting Islamist protesters and police around Dhaka has risen to 45, including five policemen. Hundreds of people have been injured during the protests, which began several days ago but are now said to have largely subsided. Security has been beefed up in the capital and around major mosques across the country.
As many as 200,000 Islamist protesters blocked roads into the capital of Dhaka, demanding the adoption of a blasphemy law. Clashes between police and rioting protesters killed at least three people and injured 60 more. The protest was organized by the newly-formed radical group Hifazat-e-Islam, which wants the death penalty for anyone who defames Islam. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the government has implemented many of the protesters' demands and is working on others, and noted the arrest of four bloggers for comments against the Prophet Muhammad.
The country's war crimes tribunal indicted British Muslim leader Chowdhury Mueen-Uddin for crimes against humanity and genocide during the 1971 war with Pakistan. He is alleged to have helped organize the killing of the top intellectuals in Bangladesh. He is an influential figure in British Muslim circles and helped set up the Muslim Council of Britain. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. Also indicted today on the same charges was US citizen Ashrafuzzaman Khan, who is believed to be in New York.
Islamist agitation fuels unrest in Bangladesh
Hard-Line Muslim Rally Demands Anti-Blasphemy Laws in Bangladesh
Over 100,000 Islamists marched to the capital city of Dhaka demanding the death of several bloggers for allegedly defaming Islam. The rally was organized by the Hefajat-e-Islam, which is calling for the enactment of a blasphemy law. Four bloggers were arrested earlier this week on charges of hurting Islamic religious sentiment, and the government has begun monitoring social media for blasphemy.
Police arrested a Jamaat-e-Islami official for inciting recent attacks on Hindus and temples in Chittagong. Court testimony implicated Harakat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami leader Mufti Abdul Hannan in the Bamna Ratamul bombings in 2001 that killed 10 people; five of the 14 suspects in the case remain at large.

Don't let this wheelset fool you!
By Jester1028_BONG
from San Diego, CA
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Vuelta Zerolite Track Wheelset:
Very good wheelset. Already trued and ready for use. Just loosen up the bolts. Minor adjustments. Not as smooth at first but it will work itself out after a ride around the block. Only negative feedback that I have is the packaging itself. It could be better for a safe transit. Other than that this set is perfect for track and road use. Good for training too.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very good product great craftmanship
Great wheels for the price
By Xterradork
from Baltimore, MD
Solid wheels for a great price. Replaced the junk wheels that came with my SS/Fixie. If you want to ride SS, you need to buy a freewheel. It only comes with the fixie side. True out of the box, solid, and smooth rolling. I'm 200+ lbs, so they are strong. Have about 1000 miles on them so far and still running great.

Great, but so many stickers
By Hamitron the Robotic Bicylist
from Los Angeles, CA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
They're affordable, they ride well, and they're lightweight. I wish they would have come without the stickers on them, as I devoted a solid 30 minutes to peeling them off. Protip: use steady pressure and lift perpendicular to the wheel to minimize the amount of sticky residue left behind. Also they're presta stems, which apparently I should have just known... but I'm new to this. So I wish they would post that in the specifications.
Decent Wheels, but...
By PistolPete

About Me Competitive Cyclist
They seem like great wheels for the price. Out of the box, the bearing tension on both wheels was too tight and the hardware was loose in the box. I haven't put them in the truing stand yet, but upon initial inspection, they seem true and round. I adjusted the bearing tension and now they turn pretty well!
Great value for the price
By djSwerve
from Orange County, CA
Packaging was a little skimpy/funky but the rims are fine. Good tension, and very true. I would buy these again.
around town wheels
By Don't have one. Stupid requirement.
from greenfield, ma
A good addition to my 1957 track bike. A little old with a little new. Seem pretty rugged. Haven't ridden, yet. Great price.
Great set of wheel for a singlespeed
By Joe Single Speed
from Atlanta, GA
These wheels are awesome. They are lightweight but super strong given the medium V. The brake sidewalls have a groove machined in the middle so your brakes will grip really good. They are not sealed bearings, but if you are not afraid of repacking your bearings, this can be a good thing since you can put your favorite grease in there and they will always work perfectly. The wheels are absolutely true when received. The only downside to these wheels was the rather lengthy amount of time if took to remove all the stickers on both sides of each wheel. I wish they would offer these wheels in a no-sticker version.
Awesome Wheelset!
By Shift Wellness PDX
from Portland, OR
I bought this set of wheels back in 2012 and never reviewed them. These wheels have close to 3500 miles on them now, I got them true out of the box and have had them checked at a shop at the 2500 mile mark and they were still in acceptable true. I ride my SS everywhere, on 100k & 200k brevets, commuting, training etc. this set of wheels has been the best purchase for my SS yet. At the price you can beat the value and if I had the cash right now I'd pick up a second set for when I finally wear these out. You wont regret them.
good wheelset for a good price
By stevet
from hartford, ct
About Me Commuter
Wheelset showed up straight and true with even spoke tension. Description said that they have sealed cartridge bearings but they don't seem to rotate as smooth as I would expect for sealing bearings. There is no grinding sound just not as smooth as other hubs I've had.
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.

Data is the New Hot, Drop-dead Gorgeous Field
We all know this already, but it's nice to get some backing from The New York Times every now and then. In this NYT article, that I'm sure has spread to every statistician's email inbox by now, Steve Lohr describes the dead sexy that is statistics:
The rising stature of statisticians, who can earn $125,000 at top companies in their first year after getting a doctorate, is a byproduct of the recent explosion of digital data. In field after field, computing and the Web are creating new realms of data to explore sensor signals, surveillance tapes, social network chatter, public records and more. And the digital data surge only promises to accelerate, rising fivefold by 2012, according to a projection by IDC, a research firm.
I've got about one more year (hopefully) until I finish graduate school. Hmm, things are looking up, yeah? Of course, it's never been about the money. The profession of statistician didn't nearly seem so hot when I started school. The best news here is that us data folk are going to get paid for doing what we enjoy, and as time goes on there's only going to be more data to play with, and we're going to be in high demand:
Yet data is merely the raw material of knowledge. "We're rapidly entering a world where everything can be monitored and measured," said Erik Brynjolfsson, an economist and director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Digital Business. "But the big problem is going to be the ability of humans to use, analyze and make sense of the data."
Wait, but it's not just statisticians who can interpret data:
Though at the fore, statisticians are only a small part of an army of experts using modern statistical techniques for data analysis. Computing and numerical skills, experts say, matter far more than degrees. So the new data sleuths come from backgrounds like economics, computer science and mathematics.
Like a... data scientist? Excellent.
12 Comments
This latest round of pro-statistician articles have me excited too. I've been toying with the idea of double majoring in statistics and it's looking like a better idea every day.
It goes a bit against the argument in books like "A Whole New Mind" that right brainers will take over the world from left brainers…
Analytical chemists have been dealing with data for a long time – even before computers. We were using strip chart recorders then. One of the benefits I see there is that we have standard ways of presenting the data which can make interpretation easier. I know an infra-red spectrum when I see it, just from how the data is presented or a mass spectrum. I don't have to invest effort anymore in trying to understand the visualization approach.
A weakness I see in presenting data from other sources is that there are no standards and it often takes quite a bit of effort just to understand how the data is presented before one can even start considering what the data shows. Some of that may be the newness of the data source/presentation and once people recognize good visualization approaches, they will start to "standardize".
While there is certainly room for a new and innovative visualization, some standardization would be beneficial.
The stealthiness of the social data scientist field is surprising, especially since we elected a Community Organizer as president. Combine wonkishness and data scientist skills… ahhhh… the possibilities….
@jan —
Perhaps not surprisingly, I think these stories confirm the argument. Computers do the heavy number-crunching — leaving humans to recognize patterns and interpret the data. These folks must have a good left brain, of course. But the differentiator is the right-brain — the ability to connect the dots, make new associations, and detect trends. In other words, these statisticians need, er, a whole new mind.
Dan Pink
Thx. Good to see you here.
Daniel –
If I am understanding you correctly, you must have a very limited view of what a statistician is. Data analysis is iterative – you do some "number crunching", or as I like to call it, modeling – and then you use visual diagnostics to see how you are doing. Then you make adjustments and iterate. This requires a strong right and left brain, and this is something that statisticians have been doing for a very long time. To think of statisticians as people with a weak right-brain is quite naive.
I think we're making the same point, actually, no?
Possibly – it depends on what you meant when you wrote "statisticians need a whole new mind". The way I interpreted it is that you think that statisticians currently don't have this "whole new mind". In that case, I am trying to correct you – a good portion do. Perhaps what you meant was that statisticians had better be sure that they do have this mind. In that case, yes, we are making the same point.
Do you have any suggestions for schools / programs that are well known for their BI / Statistics curriculum, especially in the NYC / N.E. US area?
I keep flirting with the idea of going back to school, but every program I've looked at seemed to be incomplete in one way or another.
I keep hoping that you'll make a post (or maybe this is a better forum topic) about this.
