We live off the grid and have just installed 26 220V 1.2W LED lights. We are using 220V as the batteries are some way from the house and and thick copper wire is expensive. Everything works on the inverter except the LED lights. We can only use 6 and then the inverter trips out. With everything turned off, adding 1 bulb at at a time and measuring the current, everything is fine until we add the 6th LED light and the current reading starts going crazy, up and down very rapidly until the inverter trips. What is happening here?
This is almost certainly from using a "modified square wave" - MSW - inverter rather than a "true sine wave inverter" - the power conversion circuits in AC LED fixtures expect a sine wave input, and the way they behave when fed MSW input is upsetting your inverter.
One possible solution, short of "buy a new inverter" (a rather expensive proposition, especially for true sine) would be to feed the light circuits (only) though a small isolation transformer. The inverter power would feed into one side, and you'd feed the lights a much better approximation of a "true sine wave" from the other side. It should be a bit oversized for the load, since the MSW input will cause some heating of the transformer that a normal sine wave would not. However, the load is so small that almost any isolation transformer will be a bit oversized for it. Find the minimum size by looking at the VA (not W - power factor matters, a lot, here) rating of your lamps, and then run a fudge factor for MSW input of about twice that rating.
Unless the VA is absurdly bad for a 1.2W device, something like this for roughly $50 ($40.76 plus shipping) will probably work. You'd also need to mount it in a safe enclosure, provide circuit breakers or fuses, etc...
It is most likely related to the inverter that you are using. Some inverters are sensitive to the kind of load that you put on them, and LED bulbs could easily present that kind of load. The inverter might be better behaved if you give it a better load - like a nice 50 watt incandescent light - along with the LEDs, though that obviously runs your batteries down much more quickly.
A UPS would work if it were always on, but there aren't that many that work like that, and they tend to be expensive.
Another approach is to take the 220VAC and use it to charge a 12V battery in the house, and use that to run 12V lighting. Obviously more of a hassle because you'd need separate lighting circuits, and you'd need to find a 12V battery charger that your inverter would be happy with.
As a temporary fix, I would use an appropriately rated UPS (sized for future computer needs, not just for this LED situation (which is nominally only 31.2 W))
The UPS will cleanup any transients, and depending on "mains failure time", can supply backup power to facilitate an orderly shutdown or bridge switch-overs between mains and batteries
One company that has European UPS products is Tripp
Sounds like you're running into trouble with the light's forward voltage drop At 220v and 26 lights, you've got 8.5 volts per light. How many actual LEDs are hooked in series inside each light, what's the drop of each, and what other weird circuitry is hidden within the base?
Ignoring those questions, the fix for voltage drop problems is to wire sets of the lights in parallel. Try two lines of 5, and see if that works.
You are using only one cycle (led lamps uses only one direct current (one way conduction) and that's what activates overload protection) you are using a signal integer and your integer thinks that you will consume around the same amount of current on positive and negative cycle, but you admit the power he sent to feed (lets say) the positive cycle and reject the power produced for the negative cycle, so he doesn't understand what do you want, try to state which polarization they use connecting a diode in series, then connect one half of lamps in +- direction and the other half -+ direction
You could also connect a rectifier bridge on the overall led´s line
I had the same problem of blinking LED lights on a Modified Sine Wave (MSW) inverter. I changed my LEDs to the dimmable type and they seem to handle the harmonics in a better way. The blinking has stopped.
Led lamps don't use squrewave power source which your inverter gives you. Change you bulbs to cfl or get a pure sine wave inverter.

Seventh-Grader's Trouble with Reading
Q: I'm a seventh-grader who has a hard time reading and understanding what I read. What do I do?
A: Keep in mind that in seventh grade the reading material has become more difficult and the amount of reading that you are required to do has increased from elementary school. There will always be times when you have to reread something, but when this happens a lot, you definitely need to change some of your reading habits. Every time you stop to reread, you lose your train of thought. Your comprehension of the content begins to fall, and your reading rate will also suffer.
Are your teachers and family aware of your reading problems? Many schools have reading teachers at the middle-school level. Make an appointment to see your counselor before school gets out and see if you can arrange to meet with the reading or language arts teacher. You may need to be tested to pinpoint specific reading problems that are affecting your comprehension. Hopefully, one of these teachers will help you learn some of the things that you should work on over the summer to improve your reading.
Many reading difficulties can be improved if you read in the best environment for you. Some people read with the TV or radio on; however, it may distract you. Also, do you read while lying down and become sleepy, or try to read in dim light? Select a reading spot where the conditions are best for you.
It takes practice to become a better reader. You must read at least 30 minutes each day this summer. Start with easy material that is fun to read before advancing to more challenging material. You will soon discover that the more you read, the easier it will be for you to read.

WHEELING - Sen. Joe Manchin's push to curb U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations on coal-fired power plants cleared its first hurdle this week, but he knows his biggest challenge will come from leaders of his own party.
Manchin, D-W.Va., expects the Electricity Security and Affordability Act - which cleared the House Subcommittee on Energy and Power - to gain approval from the full House. But he predicts the legislation, co-authored by Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Ky., will face a "hard lift" in the Senate, where Manchin often has found himself at odds with fellow Democrats.
A new rule published last week, four months after EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy announced it was coming, would limit carbon dioxide emissions from future coal-fired power plants to 1,100 pounds per megawatt hour, about 35 percent less than the 1,700 pounds averaged by existing plants.
"They're putting (in) targets that are unobtainable. ... To do what they're doing is wrong," Manchin said Wednesday during an energy forum at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Critics of the rule say it effectively bars the construction of new coal-fired generating stations because the carbon capture and storage technology needed to meet the new standards hasn't yet been implemented successfully. The Manchin-Whitfield bill would bar the EPA from enacting standards until at least six U.S. power plants have achieved them for 12 consecutive months.
It also would require the agency to provide Congress with a detailed study of the potential economic impact of any new rule.
Manchin challenged opponents of the coal industry to demonstrate how they plan to replace the roughly 40 percent of America's electricity that is generated by burning coal.
"I've often said West Virginia should just turn the switch off and see how the East Coast likes it. Maybe it would bring them back to their senses," he said.
Rep. David McKinley, R-Wheeling, a member of the Subcommittee on Energy and Power and one of 62 co-sponsors of the Manchin-Whitfield legislation, pointed to a Friday report that states nearly 92 million Americans are not working as evidence that the country can't afford regulations that may hold back job growth.
"The Obama administration continues to green-light regulations that are killing our economy," McKinley said. "Removing the largest source of America's electricity will lead to higher utility costs and the loss of jobs for millions.
Putting more unachievable regulations on coal-fired power plants when the technology is still not there jeopardizes our nation's economic recovery."
During Wednesday's event, Manchin also addressed the Obama administration's continued delay in making a decision on TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to Nebraska - a project he said was supported by Obama's own State Department and which has wide bipartisan backing.
"Do you buy from your friends or your enemies? To me, you buy from your friends," he said. "We don't have a better trading partner than Canada. ... It doesn't make any sense. None at all."

Elgar: The Starlight Express - Elin Manahan Thomas (soprano), Roderick Williams (baritone), Simon Callow (narrator), Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Sir Andrew Davis
The Starlight Express was adapted from a book by Algernon Blackwood, A Prisoner in Fairyland, for a theatre production in the West End during the First World War, with music by Sir Edward Elgar. Combining the usually contrasting elements of fairytale and melodrama, The Starlight Express depicts the fantasy world inhabited by a group of children, who possess a magical 'starlight' quality that has been lost by the adults around them. This is the most comprehensive recorded version of The Starlight Express to date, based on a new score prepared by the Elgar Edition, which has been adapted by the conductor Sir Andrew Davis.
Our recording includes, in place of the play, a detailed account of the story, penned by the conductor Sir Andrew Davis better to reflect the original book and our pattern of speech today. 'All the music, excepting the songs and interludes, was designed as melodrama, and in some cases it is meaningless on its own', explains Sir Andrew, continuing: 'I have therefore taken the bold step of writing a narrative which is based partly on the play and partly on A Prisoner in Fairyland.'
Our narrator is the actor Simon Callow, known to an international audience for his roles in films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral and Shakespeare in Love. Callow was delighted to be approached, as he already knows and loves this music, having delivered the narrative in a specially recorded concert performance of the incidental music, broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in 2007. The incidental music, complete with melodramatic passages which work in conjunction with the narrative, occupies all of Disc 1 and continues onto Disc 2. Then we have an extended suite of freestanding orchestral movements and songs.
As a bonus, we have included three songs which link directly to this work. When a staged version of Blackwood's book was first proposed, in 1914, another young composer, Clive Carey, was commissioned to compose the incidental music; but the outbreak of war forced the cancellation of the original production. When the plans were next revived, Elgar was approached, and he enthusiastically completed the score. However, Clive Carey had already composed three songs, but they were never included in the final production. They have been orchestrated by Sir Andrew Davis for this recording, and are heard here for the very first time.
Our recording of The Starlight Express is performed by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under Sir Andrew Davis with two internationally acclaimed soloists: the soprano Elin Manahan Thomas and baritone Roderick Williams.
"...This is a major addition to the Elgar discography."
Ronaled E Grames – Fanfare – May/June 2013
"I cannot recommend this particular disc highly enough... I cannot see how anyone with an ounce of imagination could fail to be moved by it: surely one of the most magical, charming pieces ever composed; here superbly delivered."
**** - Excellent album
Michel Fleury - Classica magazine - April 2013

Remy Franck - Pizzicato magazine - February 2013
Performance ***** Recording ****
"... This is a very valuable addition to the Elgar discography."
Calum MacDonald – BBC Music magazine – January 2012
"...Elgar's score is enchanting – and Davis and the SCO deliver it with evident affection."
Hugh Canning – The Sunday Times (Culture Magazine) – 11 November 2012
"...Davis secures absolutely first-rate results from the Scottish CO. Elin Manahan Thomas's light silvery soprano could hardly be more suited to the parts of the laughter and Jane-Anne, while Roderick Williams is in glorious voice throughout. Everything has been captured by the microphones with ingratiating amplitude, bloom and glow."
Andrew Achenbach – Gramophone magazine – November 2012
"...the songs are delivered with just the right lightness of touch by soprano Elin Manahan Thomas and baritone Roderick Williams. " ***

Well my code made the impression it worked.
But I believe you if you say so. If the buffered grid plugin works I am really happy. The big issue for me was the large dom tree the grid produced.
I used buffered scrolling with a memory store wich I loaded from a second 'json/ajax' store. After retrieving records from the server I loaded all the rawData in the buffered store like this
reloadBufferedStore: function(grid, rawData, model, response) { var data = rawData; if ((response != undefined) && (rawData == undefined)) { var resp = Ext.decode(response.responseText); data = resp.data; } var newStore = Ext.create('as.bufferedstore', { buffered: true, model: model, data: data, pageSize: data.length, remoteSort: false, proxy: { type: 'memory' } }); grid.reconfigure(newStore); if (data.length > 40) { newStore.guaranteeRange(0, 40); } }
When the record was in range by guaranteeRange it was possible to retrieve it by getById. But I think the solution of the grid buffered plugin would be so much better then this reconfigure thing.

2020 Off-season Transfers
Lots of movement, partly because I didn't resign a lot of players and had to replace them.
Qiu Shengjiong - Zeng Cheng's agent hated me, so I let him go and sign this guy who's just as good and on cheap wages
Li Gang - new centreback who should be a solid contributor to the club
Tian Guanghui - 3rd goalkeeper, and signing for the future
Zhu Chen - depth signing
He Hao - another centreback. He'll be a starter
Zhu Jiawei - probably overpaid a little but I needed some cover and he was the best option I could find with my scouts
Rong Zhou and Wang Jian are both loans with inexpensive permanent transfer options. They're mainly for cover but if they impress I would want them permanently
Gao Di - new starting striker. He scores more or less once every 3 games so he should get over 10+ goals this season.
Asian Champions League
Group A - Al-Lekhwiya (QAT), Al-Shabab (KSA), Bani Yas (UAE), Steel Azin (IRN)
Group B - Aboumoslem (IRN), Al-Alhi (UAE), Al-Nassr (KSA), Umm-Salai (QAT)
Group C - Al-Wahda (KSA), Al-Wahda (UAE), Bunyodkor (UZB), Mes Kerman (IRN)
Group D - Al-Ahli (KSA), Al-Ain (UAE), Esteghlal (IRN), Paxtakor (UZB)
Group E - Gyeongnam (KOR), Shenhua (CHN), South China (HKG), Urawa Reds (JPN)
Group F - Grampus (JPN), Henan (CHN), Seongnam (KOR), Sriwijaya FC (IDN)
Group G - F Marinos (JPN), Newcastle Jets (AUS), Shandong (CHN), Suwon (KOR)
Group H - Central Coast Mariners (AUS), Chanba (CHN), Frontale (JPN), Pohang (KOR)
Not a bad group. Will be fun to be in the ACL again.
Newcastle and Central Coast in the ACL booo
Best of luck in the ACL - looks like Grampus and Seongnam might both provide some tough opposition, but I have faith you'll get through!
Thanks for the info on my old teams rancer
And best of luck in the ACL!
I hope you docked Zhang Hongxing two weeks wages!?
N'Gadi isn't happy at one of my defenders though. Not surprising as he basically did most of the work in getting us back into the game just to lose because of some horrible defending in extra time.
wow thats a high scoring game. maybe invest in some better defenders/keeper?
Wow, what a game! So unlucky to lose out at the end there. You can't say that you didn't give it your all though, by the looks of it.
As for defenders, it's July now so I'm looking for a good foreign one (someone who can play left back and centre back), but right now I have an offer to a fantastic young Argentine AMC but he has offers from the likes of Espanyol, Deportivo and Malaga in Spain, Bremen and Frankfurt in Germany, and Lens and Lille from France. I don't think he'll choose an obscure Chinese club from that lot.
Good work, I've enjoyed reading this, hoping to give the Asian league a try sometime in my journeyman save, I've got China and South Korea loaded up, just wondering how their leagues compare to the English leagues? Is the K-League similar standards to the Championship?

2020 End of Season Review
Standings | Past Positions | Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2 - fantastic season. It was a little tense getting to the end of the season but we didn't slip up!
Chinese FA Cup - Lost in 1st Round - We shoulda beat Changsha but we didn't.
Asian Champions League - Group Stage Fixtures - Very happy to have qualified from the Group Stage in that group, but it was heartbreak in the 2nd Round.
Transfers - Lots of moves and rebuilt the squad to my liking. Here are the key contributors:
Qiu Shengjiong - the new number #1 this season and did a good job
Li Gang - very good season from Li Gang. He scored 7 goals and I thought he was very impressive and a good signing, but he got booked a little too often for my liking
He Hao - he was another stabilizing presence in the starting lineup. A very solid player
Zhu Jiawei - not amazing, but he did okay
Gao Di - he didn't really disappoint with 11 goals and 7 assists, which are around his averages for his career
Maximiliano Jofre - he rather sign with us than with Spanish, German, and French based clubs! He was impressive in the half season he was here. I'm not sure how long I can keep him at Henan but I'll enjoy his services for now.
Squad - A very solid starting XI, with decent subs and depth. Foreigners Mamadou Sarr and Twite Mili had solid seasons. Chen Zhiyuan had a breakout season and hopefully he can keep improving next season. Jiang Zhipeng's performance was surprising out of everyone on my squad.
Top Goalscorer - Chen Zhiyuan
Top Playmaker - Jiang Zhipeng
Most Consistent Player - Li Gang
Most Valuable Player - Alpha N'Gadi. I know he missed half the regular season, but he was fantastic in the ACL. Li Gang also merits consideration.
- me - CSL Manager of the Year
- Team of the Year - Starters: Chen Zhiyuan, Twite Mili, Substitutes - Li Gang, Jiang Zhipeng, Gao Di
Finances: - Finances - made profit due to ACL

If I had a wish...much of the same please, and hopefully see how far we can advance in the ACL
Oh, and by winning the CSL, we're going to the All-Star game! To face the CSL All-Stars. Update on that later.

And I'm also entering the final year of my contract so I will 'Consider my options'. I prefer to move to a bigger club in Asia, basically a big club in South Korea (my preference) or a big club in Japan (not my preference but I need that ACL title if I can't win it in China!)
I have just seen it and it looks good

Henan Jianye FC vs Chinese Super League All-Stars
Henan 5-0 CSL All-Stars
Couldn't have been a more lopsided loss for the CSL All-Stars. Although having an outfield player in net for the CSL All-Stars certainly helped us. For whatever reason they (the All-Stars) didn't choose a goalkeeper...but we do technically complete the double with this win so hopefully we can play this game next year.
The off-season starts now and the goals are quite simple: just get some depth in the squad and we should have a good 2021 season.
nice work mate! keep it up
I realized that one of my young midfielders (Chen Zhiyuan) has the same agent as Zeng Cheng, who if you recall I couldn't resign because he (as in the agent) hated me and wanted absurd demands...won't be good during the next set of negotiations. I don't even know why he hates me.
He was the fat kid in school you used to tease, then he grew up to become a football agent and looks different and changed his name?

Awww lucky. I want to be able to play at Meadowlands
good luck!
Well done on winning the CSL rancer . And nice work beating the All Stars!
It's interesting to see that your midfielder Chen Zhiyuan was your top scorer. It's always nice to have a 'Lampard' kind of player. I see that Jiang Zhipeng got 16 assists too from the wing. With crosses obviously coming in from the left and with Chen Zhiyuan grabbing 13 goals, does this reflect the kind of style of football you play? Or was it just a case of them being in the 'right place at the right time?'
hi daft queston how do yu get screen to look like this
using [code ] [/ code] brackets (remove spaces)
I don't really expect Chen Zhiyuan to replicate this performance, because I now have 3 foreigners who are better than him...until I sell Mili that is, which I have to since he doesn't want to sign a new contract and wants to go to a bigger club.
Congratulations on the title win! Nice work! Jofre looks like a great player - shame you're going to have to let him go! Nice to have a player of the caliber for a while though.
How do you rate your chances in the next ACL tournament - now that you're the domestic champions, do you think you can start to make a real dent in the continental competition?
Are you seeing any interesting job openings? I'm secretly hoping for a move to the K-League - I had a great time there back on FM09, so I'm hoping for a vicarious return through this thread.
I would be happy getting to the 2nd Round again, I personally don't rate our chances very highly since the Japanese clubs are really tough to beat (as I have already known by now...)
No interesting jobs yet. I wasn't even in consideration when the Urawa Reds sacked their manager, but I'll see. My primary focus is to do well with Henan this season and if a team like Suwon, Pohang, Seongnam, Busan, FC Seoul sack their manager I might fancy a move to South Korea.

2021 Off-season Transfers
Not a very busy transfer time as last year, but we did strengthen the squad.
Teng Shangkun - nothing more than a backup
Ni Rongbin - young with some potential. As you can see he's had a good start to the season.
Ma Tao - loaned for right back depth
Ma Jun - very young striker with some potential
Evan Barbaro - fills up my Asian quota but I realized he's quite down my depth so hopefully I can find a place for him soon...

April 6, 2021
I have rejected an offer from a club in the Ukrainian First Division (Persha Liha), Volyn. The league is rated 2 stars, which is the rating of the Chinese Super League, so here are the other possible playable destinations that are 2 stars:
- Russia - Pervyj Division (2nd tier)
- Turkey - Bank Asya 1.Lig (2nd tier)
- Argentina - Primera B Nacional (2nd tier)
- Mexico - Liga de Ascenso (2nd tier)
- Ireland - Premier Division
- Holland - Jupiler League
- Austria - First Division
- Scotland - First Division
- Brazil - Serie C
- England - League One
- Germany - 3.Liga
- Japan - J.League 1
- Switzerland - Challenge League
- France - National
- Italy - Serie C1
- S. Korea - K.League
So lots of possible destinations and will be interesting what other jobs pop up in the future.
Go to Mexico! That would be awesome. Or Russia
Are you ready to leave Henin?
I fancy managing in Mexico, but just not the 2nd tier league. Something like America or Chivas would be cool. Russian First Division I've managed in before but it really depends on the club. My preference is to stay in Asia and go to Japan or South Korea, but really I wouldn't mind going to any club with some potential and good setup and facilities, and preferably little or no debt. I want to see what offers are available in the summer but I'll be happy to sign a new contract at Henan if I don't find what I want.
Yeh im watching football at the moment so my focus isnt on computer :P
good luck though
and go Jets!

also why south korea?

Hmmm, I think Antlers would have been a good move. Hopefully, it works out for you.
I have to admit I am a little surprised you didn't take the Antlers job, as that would seem to be a step up. But, having said that, if you aren't sure you're ready to move from Henan then it's good you didn't, as you wouldn't want to be stuck there (Antlers) not 100% happy with the job...
Now Good Luck in proving us wrong!
I want to manage in South Korea because I want to travel there IRL and...I like their dramas.
Kdrama >>>> Jdrama
In Asian football, I've always supported China/HK, S. Korea, Japan in that order.
I rather go to the Urawa Reds because they're the best club in Japan and always gave my V-Varen team in FM10 a run for their money. But really it's either Henan or Suwon.
August 19, 2021
In a short statement by Henan Jianye FC, they have announced manager Ricky Nakano has signed a 2 year contract extension worth $220,000 per annum. His new contract expires Dec. 31, 2023.
good job!
cant wait to see see how far you take them
Hopefully we get some momentum before the ACL quarter-final matches...
EDIT: woot I won again. First win in like forever \o/

Top career thread! Keep up the good 'Asian' work! You'll deserve the big club offer when it comes.

2021 End of Season Review
Standings | Past Positions | Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2 - A little bit of a scare in midseason really made the standings closer than it was, but we worked hard and managed to secure another league title in the end
Chinese FA Cup - Winners - We finally got past the first round against a tough opponent...and managed to go all the way, winning 1-0 in the final.
Asian Champions League - Group Stage | Fixtures - We did very well in this competition with the progress we made this year. Of course I am a little disappointed we didn't win the whole thing, with a disappointing away loss to Persepolis in the Semis but it's something to build on for next season.
Transfers -
Lots of players in, but I think only these two really can help us short term or long term:
Su Shiliang - I'm very impressed by his performance, and I got him on 2 year loan and another year for him to impress me
Song Boxuan - Getting up there in age, but he can still play in the CSL effectively
Evan Barbaro - didn't play much, but he's apparently leading CSL quality, so once Mili is gone he should be a starter...
Squad - Lots of players, and lots of games, 50 to be exact. Zhang Hongxing was the only one to play all 50 games. My midfield consists of foreigners Twite Mili and Maximiliano Jofre, both who are fantastic talents, although I probably have to sell the former to avoid losing him for nothing. Gao Di and Alpha N'Gadi were the other two players with over 10 goals. Overall the squad is very much balanced we could always use some elite Chinese talent at the club.
Top Goalscorer - Maximiliano Jofre
Top Playmaker - Jiang Zhipeng
Most Consistent Player - Li Gang
Most Valuable Player - Maximiliano Jofre. He's a lot better than Mili and I think the best player in the CSL.
- me - CSL Manager of the Year
- Maximiliano Jofre - Chinese Player of the Year
- Maximiliano Jofre - Chinese Foreign Player of the Year
- Chinese Team of the Year
Finances: - Finances - Lots of profit from competitions like the ACL, and the Pan Pacific Championship.

Good job on a great season!
Have you noticed any improvement in the other sides yet or bigger transfers etc?
also, what are your facilities like? $27mil is heaps!
Ever upwards from the looks of it! I predict you will win everything in sight within two years! Then what will you do?
Great job winning the league and congratulations on the impressive ACL run - an ACL championship can't be far around the corner. What's more, it looks like this season has fully justified your decision to stay at the club.
I know I've said it before, but Jofre looks like an excellent player - any chance of finding a couple more Jofres with your $11.8m transfer budget?
The facilities are average training and youth facilities (with academy), and basic youth recruitment network. One part I haven't placed much emphasis on is through developing our own youth players into first team players because we had no youth talent so hopefully we can get better ones soon.
Training and youth facilities are currently in the planning stage and should be completed on January 10, 2022.
- go back home to TFC
- maybe have a short stay in South Korea
- Germany, England, Russia
- take my talents to South Beach! Sorry I just had to say it
And Jofre was a free transfer signing, and I usually don't try and sign foreigners unless they're elite. I don't mind overpaying for Chinese talent since everyone overpays but I'm more careful with foreigners since I only want the best.

Henan 7-1 CSL All-Stars
This game was probably the easiest game of the year, although it was technically classified as a non-competitive game and like all the other All-Star games it's an exhibition, but the scoreline says a lot about the quality of the CSL All-Stars...they had a goalkeeper at least this time though.
We have won the treble this year, the league, the cup, and the all-star game.
Henan Jianye FC
2022 Season Preview - Chinese Super League
Media Prediction: 2nd
TV Revenue: $72k
Estimated Value: $26 million (2nd in China)
Super League Expectations: ACL qualification (top 4)
Pan Pacific Championship: unimportant
Transfer Budget: $16 million
Wage Budget: $8.75 million (currently spending $2,808,835)
huge wage budget there :P
Pretty much going to be the same players, most players I will probably buy are for the future because we don't have any young talent coming through the youth system. Also looking for a young Chinese GK who would be the new #1 eventually since my starter and his backup are in their 30s.
That a pretty big transfer budget for the Chinese leagues. I got all of 40k when i got promoted
Glad to see a fellow Canadian on the boards! Love this career and story and finally decided to stop lurking and say something about it. Keep it up!
On my save in the past 3 seasons Henan have finished 9th, 10th, 9th.
So you have certainly turned their fortunes around

2022 Off-season transfers
As previously stated, I'm only looking for the future for now, unless there's someone really good out there
Zhang Xinyu - he's a young centreback with potential to be very good in the CSL and the staff say he can be as good as He Hao
Pan-Pacific Championship (Hosts: China)
Yes, this year the Pan-Pacific Championship is in China...but at least we have home field advantage.
Henan vs LA Galaxy (at Chongqing Olympic Sports Centre, Chongqing)
Grampus vs Ulsan (at Guangdong Olympic Sports Centre, Guangdong)
AFC Champions League

Group C: Al-Ahli (KSA), Al-Ain (UAE), Bunyodkor Toshkent (UZB), Paas Hamedan (IRN)
Group D: Al-Dhafra (UAE), Al-Ittihad (KSA), Nasaf (UZB), Persepolis (IRN)
Group E: Chanba (CHN), Grampus (JPN), Persema (IDN), Seoul (KOR)
Group F: Adelaide Utd (AUS), F Marinos (JPN), Shenhua (CHN), Ulsan (KOR)
Group G: Henan (CHN), Reysol (JPN), Seongnam (KOR), Sriwijaya FC (IDN)
Group H: Melbourne Victory (AUS), Shandong (CHN), Suwon (KOR), Urawa Reds (JPN)
Our group isn't that bad. We avoided the Group of Death in Group H. Poor Melbourne is up against powerhouse Shandong who only finished 3rd because of Chanba and us, Suwon, who are usually the best in South Korea (in the game and IRL up there with Pohang), and Urawa Reds, who are just as good as league winners Grampus. Other than Sriwijaya FC we are not facing the league title winners so hopefully it all goes smoothly.
Best Henan have ever done in my game was 3rd in 2020
Double title rancer .
I'm a little surprised that Persepolis sent you packing in the Semi's of the ACL. Was it unlucky or were they just the better side?
A nice steady group draw this year, hopefully you can go that extra mile this season .
I think I'm going to move the Welsh FA into the Asian Football Confederation. I wanna play in the ACL.
Looks like a decent draw for the group stage. Is this year going to be the year?
Or just leave Wales for an AFC team.
I think this is going to be the year for your team. Good luck dude.

European Coefficients
Breaking News: England have officially lost a Champions League spot.
I'm surprised the German league is ranked above the EPL, especially with the amount of money in the English game nowadays. Blatter and Platini will be happy with the loss of that Champions League spot!
And in my FM10 career game with Stuttgart, Germany would have taken over England in the coefficient rankings if I played one more season and did well.
2022 FIFA World Cup - Hosts Australia
Group Stage
Group A - Australia, Colombia, Romania, Algeria
Group B - Senegal, Greece, France, Japan
Group C - Germany, Ivory Coast, Portugal, Uzbekistan
Group D - Italy, USA, Saudi Arabia, Wales
Group E - England, Chile, Ukraine, Guinea
Group F - Nigeria, Spain, Belgium, Canada
Group G - Croatia, Mexico, Argentina, S. Korea
Group H - Brazil, Netherlands, Iran, Honduras
Second Round
Australia 0-2 Greece
Senegal 1-0 Colombia
USA (p) 1-1 Germany
Italy 2-1 Ivory Coast
Spain 1-2 England
Nigeria 3-2 Chile
Netherlands 0-3 Croatia
Mexico 0-1 Brazil
Greece 0-2 Italy
Senegal 2 - 0 USA
England 0-3 Brazil
Nigeria 1-2 Croatia
Italy 1-0 Croatia
Senegal 3-2 Brazil
3rd Place Playoff
Croatia 0-3 Brazil
Italy 0-1 Senegal
So, Senegal are the shock winners of the World Cup. The 2030 World Cup will be hosted by Germany.
I have also applied for vacant managerial jobs at Japan, S. Korea, Canada, and the US so hopefully I hear something from them. I've already been snubbed by Canada once before in this save already so we will see.
Pele said an African nation would win the World Cup one day.
Is there any preference of national job...or is that a stupid question?!
I actually prefer Japan or South Korea, partly because I managed Canada in FM10 already and I want to learn Japanese or Korean before I leave Asia. I can always get the Canadian job later.
I thought Henan would just be a springboard job in Asia, but I'm doing well against the Korean and Japanese teams so I'm probably not going to move to a club job there, which means national job is my only hope.
In order of preference it's S. Korea > Canada > Japan > USA.
South Korea - Song Chong-Goog
Japan - Takahiro Masukawa
Canada - Atiba Hutchinson
USA - Bradley...Michael Bradley
Slightly disappointed I still can't get a national job, but there's always next time...the four above all got better managerial CV's than me anyways. Winning the ACL is a priority since I'm starting to get itchy feet here...
Unusual that England lose a Champions League spot in the game.
In other news, I got passed over by 180-something-th ranked Hong Kong for a newb who only managed at Kitchee before getting sacked.
rancer, what was your rep as a player before you started coaching? I've become increasingly of the opinion that the international jobs don't go easily to those who didn't make a name for themselves as a player, unless they have really made a splash as a coach. I got passed over for Wales, Wales U-21 and Wales U-19, despite being far and away the best coach in Wales for some time now. I have Sunday League experience, so I think that's hampering my efforts.
I was offered the Paraguay job in my game (before I'd won anything with Wanderers). Apart from that, I've only been approached by U21 and U19 teams.

2022 End of Season Review
Standings | Past Positions | Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2 - We didn't have a horrible league season, but we just didn't get enough wins. Not losing any sleep over this though. At least there's no useless Pan-Pacific Championship to worry about!
Chinese FA Cup - Lost in 2nd Round - not really surprised anymore. I never did well in this cup anyways.
Asian Champions League - Group Stage | Knockout Rounds | Fixtures - I'm still in shock, but we have finally done it! And we beat Shandong on penalties, a team we couldn't beat twice in the regular season. All the goals were from the penalty spot too.
Club World Championship - Quarter-Final | Semi-Final | Final - Fantastic work here. In the Quarter-Final, I met my old club Auckland City, and quickly disposed of them with ease. However, in the Semi-Final, we met the UEFA Champions League winners Sevilla, but for once I listened to my ass man to play a deep line, with a slow tempo. If they can't get the ball, they can't score right?!?! The players executed my tactics to perfection, but next is the final, against the surprising champions of the CAF Champions League, who defeated Cruzeiro in the other semi. It was an even match but we played our brand of football and ultimately came on top! I'll take the CWC and ACL wins over a league and FA Cup title!
Transfers -
5 new signings, 2 for the present, and 3 for the future:
Li Cheng - hefty salary, but at only $80k he's worth the risk. Was doing well before he tore his hammy against Shandong
Su Shiliang - he's probably not worth the $1 million+, but he's versatile and very valuable to the team, with leading CSL potential
Zhang Xinyu - young lad with good potential
Wang Bin - I think he can start playing some games full time next season
Alija Halilovic - not really high on him. Will see how he develops

I'm flying into Melbourne, Australia first thing in the morning in a few weeks. At that time of the morning (rush hour, I assume) a taxi would be madness. What's the most cost efficient form of public transport from there to the city center?
The Melbourne airport website has a section on public transport, which basically means buses. They recommend using Skybus to get into the city centre. I've used Skybus before during rush hour going the other way, and found it fine. The price should be quite a bit less than a taxi too.
It sounds like you should be arriving at the right time to take advantage of the Skybus hotel transfer service, where they'll take you from the Southern Cross Station (where the coach terminates in the city centre) to your hotel / hostel, which should make your journey easier.
As it is, the only public transport option from Melbourne Airport (known locally as Tullamarine) to the city centre is the privately run SkyBus, which will set you back $18. The Airport is connected to the city by freeway, and you can expect congestion during peak hours.
Alternatively, you could take one of the suburban public buses which connect to the rail network, but I seriously doubt these will be faster, and won't have anywhere for your luggage.
As mentioned elsewhere, a taxi will be as fast as SkyBus since it will take the same roads and can use the express lane, and it can take you directly to your hotel or workplace. Taxis are expensive but tipping is not required.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) A tax reform plan is on its way to Governor Sam Brownback's desk that he says will change Kansas from a high tax state, to a low tax state.
"We're off to a good start and this week with the passage of the tax bill by the house, it really put the gas in the system for us to be able to move forward and i'm excited," said Governor Brownback.
He also stated the tax plan will grow the economy and jobs, but critics say it will put the state billions of dollars in debt.
"Its an absolutely reckless act that the Governor and the right wing Republican Party have championed and I hope that all Kansans will feel compelled to contact the Governor and ask that he veto this bill," said house minority leader (D) Paul Davis.
Davis also feels that the bill, if signed by Brownback, will have far reaching consequences and result in budget cuts to grade schools, universities and social services.
The plan's bullet points are to lower individual income tax rates and move tax payers from three brackets, to just two. It will also attempt to streamline the tax code by eliminating itemized deductions and some credits but no impact on deductions or credits claimed at the federal level.
Still holding up the legislation and unsolved are the state budget and redistricting.

A Kentucky State Police trooper continues to fight a civil case in Barren Circuit Court.
Trooper Jonathan Biven, the Public Affairs Officer for the Bowling Green KSP post, is being sued for damages related to a September 2011 crash that killed a Green County woman.
33-year-old Nurcan Ceylan was driving on 31W when Biven's cruiser crossed over the center line and struck her Mustang.
She was rushed to a hospital, but was pronounced dead.
54-year-old Samuel Parker was in the passenger seat and survived.
The Glasgow Daily Times reports the Barren-Metcalfe County Commonwealth Attorney's Office chose not to prosecute the trooper, but Parker brought a civil suit against Biven requesting payment of his ongoing medical expenses and punitive damages.

5 Ridiculous Origins of Famous Urban Legends
#2. The Illuminati Was Dreamed Up by a 20th Century Paranoid Anti-Semite
The Legend:
When you woke up this morning and had your breakfast cereal, it's only because the Illuminati decided to let you live another day. It's the Chuck Norris of conspiracies -- an all-powerful, all-encompassing shadowy entity that runs everything and has leverage everywhere. Their ultimate goal is something called the New World Order, which is basically a planet-scale re-enactment of 1984.
Chuck Norris is the likely choice for America's Big Brother. Think about it.
The organization is said to be led by the queen of England (so that's what a queen does), and lists of known members include pretty much everyone of influence who isn't her. This flowchart should clear things up for you ...
Illuminati Members
C'mon, Zombie Pope, get your act together. The Queen Mother is counting on you.
The Ridiculous Origin:
Nesta Webster was a 1920s British historian, writer, propagandist and Nazi sympathizer who had a less-than-secret vendetta against Jews. If you're unfamiliar with the Roaring '20s, you might be wondering how such a person could gain influence in pre-WWII Britain. If you've read The Sun Also Rises, or a biography of Henry Ford, you know that anti-Semitism was up there with stupid-looking pants and the Charleston in terms of things rich white people lost their goddamned minds over.
Webster was married to a superintendent of the British police, which rendered her pretty much untouchable, and she was even tight with Winston Churchill a few decades before he came to his goddamn senses. While Webster wasn't the only crazy anti-Semite working at the time, she used an ability to weave far-reaching conspiracies and a willingness to have sex with powerful men to become hugely influential. And then she got really crazy.
The deuce, you say!
While laboring in the bullshit mines of run-of-the-mill anti-Semitism, Webster struck gold when she proposed an elaborate historical bad-guy cult that worked in alliance with the Jews and was responsible for everything bad that had ever happened. She was studying a fringe conspiracy theory that the French Revolution was secretly orchestrated by a tiny, long extinct secret society called the Bavarian Illuminati, when she decided "What if that, but like the Jews are in on it, too!?"
Thankfully, Cracked Conspirologists have charted out who really runs the world.
Noticing that people rather liked her theory that the decisions they disagreed with were secretly decided at secret meetings they weren't invited to, she started expanding it to include various other historical events she deemed unsavory. The theory was too elaborate to blame just the Jews and Illuminati, so she had to construct a vast network of secret societies, all working together. Basically, if you dared to dabble with suspicious concepts such as "science" and "free thought," you were in on the conspiracy.
Pretty much all the legends of the Illuminati in today's public consciousness and popular culture can be traced back to Webster, who greatly exaggerated and even completely fabricated the facts. Her massively ballooned, cartoonishly evil version of the Illuminati is the version that Americans first heard about, and the one whose mythology has since been further twisted by various authors.
You have to admit, the U.N.'s logo is pretty supervillainy.
The moral of the story: You can get away with saying some pretty crazy stuff if you fuck the right people.
#1. Gray Aliens Came from a TV Show
The Legend:
The strength of the alien abduction theorists has always been their consistency. The aliens always come for you in the middle of the night, take you up in their spaceship and usually stick things in uncomfortable places. But the strangest thing is the way that the aliens, nicknamed "The Grays," always look almost exactly the same in everyone's descriptions. They're shorter, thinner humanoids with long fingers and big upward-sloping eyes.
The last thing your anus will ever see.
Victims would always have these memories come flooding back after the fact, and it seemed strange that aliens who can cross the vast distances of space apparently don't possess the memory-wiping ability of 10 beers. But if a bunch of unrelated people get held up in the same way, and the guy who does it looks identical in every description, you're going to have to give them the benefit of the doubt.
The Ridiculous Origin:
Almost all of the tropes of the modern alien abduction story come from one place: The Barney and Betty Hill abduction of 1961. The Hills were driving along when they got chased by mysterious lights, had a bout of "missing time" and were later hypnotized into remembering all the usual alien abduction stuff we already went over.
Betty & Barney Hill Archival Collection, via Huffington Post
"They were doing a study on the anuses of middle America."
It was the first significantly publicized abduction in history, and very few since have deviated from the formula. The Hills were even the first people to identify the gray aliens we all know and love today.
Now, the idea of an alien abduction itself wasn't all that new, as Buck Rogers comics from the 1930s had featured pretty much that exact thing with the "Tiger Men from Mars" story line.
Buck Rogers
Mars needs women, and they're sick of asking nicely.
But gray aliens? Who had ever heard of such a thing? Not only that, but they were peaceful. Up until that time, pop culture had featured little green men with wrinkled foreheads, catlike eyes and sharp teeth who came to wreck shit.
The Hills had totally undermined the typical alien with something no one expected. No one was thinking about gray aliens with large eyes and no noses. No one except for the costume designers working on a popular sci-fi anthology series called The Outer Limits, anyway.
Twelve days before the Hills described their alien encounter under hypnosis, an episode of the show titled "The Bellero Shield" aired, and it featured a peaceful gray alien with large eyes and no nose.
Wikipedia Commons
"How does he smell?" "Quite pleasant, really."
And, on top of that, even the guy who hypnotized the Hills into "remembering" their experience thought the whole thing was bullshit, pieced together by various anxieties and experiences in their everyday lives and conflated with a nightmare that Betty Hill had a few nights after the "incident" had occurred. Experiences, presumably, like the television shows they watched a few nights beforehand. Just imagine what the UFO culture would be like if they'd watched I Love Lucy instead.

How to Enjoy Romance After Having Kids
In This Article:
All roads lead back to mom
When you become a mom, you're taking on a bigger task than you might have guessed. You are central to the happiness and well-being of everyone in your family. It is important to them to feel close to you and to feel sure of your interest in them. Look at these relationships as plants that need lots of water and sunlight to grow. Loving your family and telling them so is like that water and sunlight—love and reassurance are the nutrients they need.
Express Yourself
You need the support of your partner. Do not be shy about demanding some time for your relationship with him, if that's what you need. Single moms may have to cope with childcare on their own, but if you've got a partner, it's simply not acceptable for you to have to do without his support in coping with your children and their needs.
When the Support Isn't There for You
If your husband is not willing to connect emotionally with you or refuses to participate in the raising of your children, you may need to get some professional counseling. Don't dismiss the idea out of hand. If you're worried about the cost, you needn't be: Many organizations offer family counseling at an affordable rate. And this is not an area in which to make false economies. It's better to do without a few extras than to let problems in your relationship escalate to unresolvable proportions.
Redefining Your Relationship
Relationships evolve over several distinct stages:
- The early years, when it's just the two of you
- The birth of the first child, when you're both learning the parenting ropes
- The settled years, when you've been together long enough to have created a routine
Mom Alert!
When the dissatisfaction blues strike, don't just ignore them and hope they'll go away on their own. Find a way to structure rewarding things into your life. Otherwise, you risk expressing your resentments in ways that can damage your relationship with the people around you who love you the most.
If you are a person who is used to crises or a lot of excitement, that third stage of a relationship may make you restless and frustrated. You might not know what is actually bothering you, but you know that something seems to be missing from your relationship and your family life. If this is the case, it's time to start an honest reappraisal of your relationship and what you expect from it. Unless you do this you will have trouble overcoming your sense of dissatisfaction, and that could very well strain your relationship.
Appreciating the Comfort of Familiarity
Familiarity and routine are not the most romantic concepts in the world. The media presents such a glamorized vision of life that it's easy to judge our own fairly "normal" existence as being somehow inadequate. But simplicity, familiarity and routine create security. And security is really what most of us want in our lives. We do not need the constant stimulation that crisis mode gives us.
Finding the Rhythm of Your Relationships
We get so used to stress that we often do not know how to sit back and enjoy our lives for exactly what they are. We always seem to want something more that we think the next woman has. Many women sabotage perfectly good relationships because they get caught up in the "is this all there is?" attitude. But the sense of dissatisfaction we feel comes from within us and is not necessarily the fault of our relationship.
It is therefore important to learn to accept your relationships with your family members for what they are, and come to terms with your own needs, instead of blindly expecting your partner or your children to fulfill your needs for you. That means getting to know who you are, and ceasing to define yourself by the roles you play. And it means recognizing the natural flow of your relationships within your family.
Each of us is ultimately responsible for our own happiness. To maximize your satisfaction with your relationships and with your life, you need to find out what you really want out of life and be willing to work at making it happen within the context of your family. After all, your family is a part of that vision—and it can provide the foundation of love and security you need to achieve the rest of your goals.

text: Shameless rejoinder It's a badge of honor for Demo-crats circa 2012 to denounce corporations. Yet according to a Sept. 4 report from Mark Pazniokas of the Connecticut Mirror, the state delegation to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., lived it up, courtesy of some big-name corporations. Delegates received a pep talk from Gov. Dannel P. Malloy while sipping drinks paid for by international beverage company Diageo; attended a barbecue on Pfizer's dime; and listened to an anti-corporation speech by Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz while dining on AT&T's tab. When asked if enjoying the corporate goodies seemed hypocritcal, Gov. Malloy offered a rejoinder that only can be described as shameless: "That's what conventions are."

Places Where Women Made Historyby Dan Steckenberg
Women's history in the United States did not proceed in an orderly fashion. There was not one leader, one movement, or one nexus of power. Rather, women all over the country, from all sorts of backgrounds, made their own unique contributions. This slideshow celebrates some of the most important places where women made history in America.
1 of 17
Seneca Falls, New York
On July 19, 1848, the first women's rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, N.Y. For that reason, some people consider it to be the single most important place in U.S. women's history. Seneca Falls was the home of Elizabeth Cady Stanton (her house is pictured above), who, along with abolitionist Lucretia Mott, organized the convention.
Seneca Falls is now the home of the National Women's Hall of Fame and the Women's Rights National Historic Park.

closed as off-topic by Stefan Kohl, Dmitri Pavlov, Andrey Rekalo, David White, Ramiro de la Vega Nov 5 '13 at 22:56
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
According to L. E. Dickson's History of the theory of numbers, vol. 2, ch. 1, this goes back to Pythagoras (570-501 BC)
Later: Ah... Browsing that book is always fun. «N. Beguelin made a puerile illogical attempt to prove that every number is a sum of three triangular numbers». Poor guy: Dickson does not treat him with any kindness at all...
I doubt this question has a definitive answer, but Fibonacci discusses this in Liber quadratorum:
My source: http://www.gap-system.org/~history/Biographies/Fibonacci.html
The original source, attributing this theorem to the early pythagoreans is Theon of Smyrna. Eduard Hiller: Expositio Rerum Mathematicarum ad legendum Platonem utilium. Rec. Theon Smyrnaeus, reprinted by Teubner, Stuttgart, 1995.
Further Aristoteles writes, with reference to the early pythagoreans too: "the gnomons are placed round the one" explaining in a somewhat dark manner the geometric aspect of the sum of odd numbers, placed around the 1 Physics, book 3, chapter 4 as sketched in the answer by Stefan .
So there is no chance to find an individual name of the first inventor other than Pythagoras himself. But it is not clear what he really did. No documents of his are left. (Nicomachus, Aristotle, and Archimedes definitively lived too late.)

Not able to properly tie due to material too thick. Service in handling return by Beau Ties Ltd. excellent. Downside of all Internet purchases is that one can't feel the material beforehand. ### Due to the nature of woven jacquards, these fabrics tend to be thicker than others, a consequently a bit more challenging to tie. While we'll gladly to do a return, we can also make ties upon request without the lining, which will also reduce the thickness.

Refusing to bow to the British King was a proud show of independence for a new naotin, it confirmed we were no longer subjects, but free men. It made an important point and became a source of naotinal pride, and lives on in our traditions. However, it's a different matter in Japan. The bow there isn't a display of abject subservience, it's more of a mutual show of respect. You can think of it as somewhat similar to the salute soldiers employ in recognition of their profession of arms. The salute is initiated by the junior ranker and is returned by the senior. Even when a PFC takes an enemy officer captive, he's expected to salute and render his captive the respect his rank commands, all the while holding him at gun point.That's not a fully satisfying explanaotin for the bow in Japan, or a perfect analogy, but it's close enough to show there's another side of the issue.I'm no fan of Obama, quite the contrary, but bowing to the Emperor of Japan is no stain on the honor of America. Obama is a guest in their country and their rules of proper conduct apply. Certainly, Americans are free to show respect for the Japanese custom or not. Obama chose to bow, it was his choice, it doesn't diminish our naotinal honor, it reassures the people of Japan that we regard them as equals, and I won't fault him for it.

I didn't want to wear the same old plain black tie, and this tie's subtle pattern added a perfect amount of flair. Great choice and great material!

I have a Nodal Ninja 3 since April of this year. A huge improvement from my home made head that I used before. This is one of the first panoramas with it after the initial test and adjustment panoramas.
The panorama is from Norra Bantorget in Stockholm from outside the headquarter of the Swedish Labour Union (LO). "Master Palm" was a tailor and agitator who played an important role in founding the Swedish labour union.

I was comparing the original Fisher-Yates shuffle vs the modern Fisher-Yates shuffle.
This reduces the algorithm's time complexity to O(n), compared to O(n2) for the naive implementation.
Ok I cannot understand how is it that we have n2 for the original algorithm.
You see, our first trip is to write out the random numbers. So that's 1N. and then the second step is to write out the elements based on the N. so that's 2N total?
Or is it like something to do with the second step takes longer so it's more N ?

Analyze Test Scores
Schools use spring standardized test scores as one of the criteria for class placement, inclusion in gifted programs, and placement in mandatory basic-skills programs. So it's important that you understand the percentiles, local and national "stanines," and composite scores that you'll find on that sheet of paper. If you're confused, you're not alone! Just place a call to the counselor, teacher, or an administrator in your school and ask for help interpreting the scores.
Check out our parent resources on testing and standardized tests.

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I didn't spend is correct. You must use the infinitive, not the simple past. (The helper verb do takes the simple past already.)
The negation of I spent is built by adding the basic form of the verb (in this case spend) to the negation of did.
Spent would be used in the present perfect.
"I didn't spend" is correct. Didn't is already the past tense.
