"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people."

"When a child keeps asking you to tell him/her a story, what they instinctively really want to know -- is their true purpose and mission in life. Sadly, this knowledge was never sought out by their parents, and explains why children's books are a very hot and lucrative industry. Instead of telling your child the truth of our history and existence, you are conditioned by society to simply read your kid a fairytale."

Heat men take Canada West playoff chase to final weekend
The UBC Okanagan Heat's quest for a playoff berth in their inaugural season of CIS men's volleyball competition will come down to the last weekend of the regular campaign.
The Heat remain alive for the seventh and final berth after a dramatic victory over the Saskatchewan Huskies Saturday night in Saskatoon.
UBCO fended off five match points for a 3-2 win (23-25, 25-20, 28-26, 18-25, 18-16) to avoid a weekend sweep at the hands of the Huskies, and push their season record to 6-12.
UBC Okanagan will host Thompson Rivers this coming weekend, and will need two victories to try and surpass Winnipeg (7-13) for the final playoff spot.
As for the Heat's effort Saturday, their head coach watched his team dig deep for the crucial win.
"To say that (the match) was an epic battle would be an understatement. Every player on the floor had to make a clutch play," said Heat coach Greg Poitras. "Some of our guys struggled at times and their teammates did a great job keeping their minds focused and staying aggressive. Our wing players dug deep and found ways to score. I was extremely happy with the composure we showed with so much on the line, with so much adversity."
On Saturday, outside hitter Nate Speijer had 22 kills and five aces for the Heat, while fellow outside hitter Riley McFarland added 20 kills and two aces.
On Friday, the Huskies downed the Heat 3-0 (25-16, 25-13, 25-23).
McFarland delivered 10 kills, while setter Preston Tucker supplied 24 assists.
The Heat will host TWU this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in the biggest matches of the program's brief Canada West existence.
"We will need the Heat student body and Heat volleyball community in full force at 'The Furnace' next Friday and Saturday," added Poitras.
Heat women win 2
The absence of a playoff future didn't hinder the Heat women who swept the hometown Saskatchewan Huskies in Canada West action.
On Friday, outside hitter Myrte Schön tallied a match-high 15 kills and six digs for the Heat in a 3-0 (25-23, 26-24, 25-20) win over the winless Huskies.
First year Katy Klomps added seven kills and one solo block, Libero Lenai Schmidt recorded 13 digs, while setter Chandler Proch had 28 assists.
"We played a solid match and were able to keep an even flow throughout," said Heat head coach Steve Manuel. "Myrte's been injured and playing the last few weeks with a pulled abdominal. She's feeling a lot better, she's worked through it and I think she's pretty much over it."
On Saturday, the Heat recorded 13 service aces to take down Saskatchewan 3-1(22-25, 25-18, 25-15, 25-10).
Proch had three aces, while Jill Festival and Klomps recorded two apiece.
Schön, the top gun for setter Proch, led the team with 15 kills, including a back-row attack to set up game point in the third game. Klomps had eight kills, and Festival added three stuff blocks.
The Heat (5-13) will complete their first season of CIS competition this weekend when they host Thompson Rivers.
Matches start at 6 p.m. both nights at the UBCO gym
Heat basketball
The UBC Okanagan Heat battled but, in the end, couldn't muster enough opposition against the Victoria Vikes in Canada West basketball action.
Both the women's and men's squads were swept by UVic on their home court on the next-to-last weekend of their inaugural season of CIS competiton.
In women's action Friday, the Vikes blew open a relatively close game in the second quarter, then went on for a 74-46 win.
Both teams were clad in pink as the game was part of the WBCA Shoot for the Cure, with money being raised for the fight against breast cancer.
The Vikes offense was led by guard Deborah Yeboah who scored a game high 18 points.
Freshman guard Emily Kanester scored a team high 11 points for UBCO and was the only Heat player to score in the double digits against the defensively sound UVic team.
Krystal Schouten added eight points, while each player grabbed five rebounds.
On Saturday, Roz Huber's huge 25-pioint effort wasn't enough as the Heat fell to Victoria 86-61.
Vikes' Deborah Yebaoh scored 17 of her team high 21 in the first half, hitting 10-20 from the floor.
Kanester and Schouten added eight points apiece for UBCO.
Despite the defeat, Heat head coach Heather Semeniuk was happy with her team's improved effort over the previous night.
"I thought we showed a high level and desire to compete (Saturday), just a few bodies short, 22-20 after the first quarter, even the 45-37 halftime score—those were both positives."
The Heat (2-14) will close out their first Canada West season this weekend with a home-and-home set against Thompson Rivers.
The teams will play Saturdsay in Kamloops, then Sunday, 4 p.m. at UBCO.
Heat men
The UBCO men went down to defeat twice to the seventh-ranked and bigger Vikes team, opening the weekend with a 76-49 loss on Friday.
The Vikes' star player Ryan MacKinnon hit 1,300 career points, scoring a game high 21 points against the Heat.
Yassine Ghomari shared a team high 10 points for the Heat along with Steve who also grabbed four rebounds.
"They are definitely bigger than us," said assistant coach Neale. "We didn't do very good job of boxing them out, especially in the first half. They scored a lot of second chance points on us."
On Saturday, Victoria were stifling on defense as they disposed of the Heat 68-39.
MacKinnon led the Vikes in scoring for the thirteenth time this season with 19 points on 7-11 shooting.
Senior post player Simon Pelland led the way for the home squad with 16 points.
The Heat men wrap up their season this weekend with a home-and-home series vs Thompson Rivers, as the teams meet Saturday in Kamloops, and Sunday, 6 p.m. at UBCO.

Everton boss David Moyes is set to welcome Marouane Fellaini back after resting the Belgium international in his side's 3-1 win over Oldham in their FA Cup fifth-round replay on Tuesday.
Kevin Mirallas is set to keep his place after impressing against Oldham but Tony Hibbert remains sidelined with a calf injury.
As for the visitors, Brian McDermott will be forced to make at least one change from the line-up that lost 3-0 to Wigan in their previous match - with Pavel Pogrebnyak starting his three-game ban after being red carded.
Danny Guthrie (calf), Alex McCarthy (shoulder) and Jason Roberts (knee) all remain on the sidelines.
- Everton have only won one of their last six matches in the Premier League - a 2-1 victory at home to West Brom. They have lost two and drawn the other three games.
- Everton are undefeated in 16 of their last 17 home matches in the Premier League.
- The meeting earlier in the season between the two sides finished in a 2-1 win for Reading. Steven Naismith gave the Toffees an early lead before Adam Le Fondre struck twice to grab his side all three points.
- Reading have the joint-second worst defensive record in the league along with Wigan - both sides have conceded 51 goals. Only Aston Villa (52) have let in more.
- Reading are the only side in the Premier League to concede a goal in each of their away games this season. They are 8/1 to draw 1-1 with Everton with bet365.
- The Royaks have been drawing at half-time and have gone on to lose at full time in five of their last seven away matches in the Premier League.

Jerrod Niemann, Blue Oyster Cult, Spinners part of diverse Waukesha County Fair lineup
You'd expect to see animals at Wisconsin's oldest county fair. But alligators?
New to this year's Waukesha County Fair, running Wednesday through Sunday, is the Swampmaster Alligator Show, with daily demonstrations — including gator wrestling.
Of course, more familiar critters will also be on hand (hopefully, a safe distance from the alligators), along with other staples of the fair: truck and tractor pulls on Wednesday and Sunday, a demolition derby on Saturday, rides and plenty of fair food.
There's music on five stages, including a main stage lineup with country's Jerrod Niemann and Love and Theft, 7:30 p.m. Thursday; Eddie Money and Blue Oyster Cult, 7:30 p.m. Friday; Queensryche and Winger, 7:30 p.m. Saturday; and the Spinners, 6 p.m. Sunday. All main stage shows are free with fair admission, although VIP passes are also available.
Advance tickets (through Tuesday) are $7 and $3 for kids ages 6 through 12); at the gate, it'll cost you $10, or $5 for children ages 6 to 12 (kids younger than 6 are admitted free). Daily parking is $5 at the Waukesha County Fairgrounds, 1000 Northview Road, Waukesha.

Recent Chicago AACM members cellist Tomeka Reid, flutist Nicole Mitchell, and drummer Mike Reed formed this trio to perform pieces from the rich 50 year history of the AACM, each bringing favorite compositions including those from Roscoe Mitchell, Jeff Parker, Art Ensemble, &c.
Mitchell, Nicole / Tomeka Reid / Mike Reed
Label: 482 Music
Released in: USA
"Five decades ago some of the most important thinkers and musicians in the future history of creative music gathered on the South Side of Chicago to chart a new path of self-determination. The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians was formed to allow a core group of visionaries to present original music without the impediments of the local jazz business. They presented their own concerts, often in settings miles apart from the noisy, inattentive setting of jazz clubs that were often hostile to their music. Hindsight now confirms that Muhal Richard Abrams, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill, Wadada Leo Smith, Amina Claudine Myers, and many others were onto something big. Of course, the AACM has prospered ever since, fostering a remarkable string of talent. Now, an all-star trio of recent AACM members has formed to celebrate that legacy during its 50th anniversary. Cellist Tomeka Reid, flutist Nicole Mitchell, and drummer Mike Reed - three of the most important and acclaimed musicians connected to the AACM over the last two decades - recognized the value of taking a look at the AACM's rich history for their new collective trio, which Tomeka Reid conceived for a concert in Seattle early in 2015.
The 2015 concert calendar has been packed with events celebrating the organization's legacy, although most of these events have featured new work - one of the AACM's key tenets was to create new, original music. The problem with this ethos is that much of the music that's been produced by AACM figures has been relegated to recordings. This repertoire is a living, breathing thing, and this dynamic trio is masterfully reinvigorating it on this debut recording. "I wanted to do something, since my participation in the organization has been a big part of my Chicago music experience and I wanted to honor that," says the cellist.
Says Mitchell, who now lives in Los Angeles where she teaches at the University of California, Irvine: "50 years later, Mike, Tomeka and I stand back and look at this beautiful legacy and we want to go into the portal and be a part of some of that past while we ride into the future with our own music. We're all clearly committed to making our own music all the time, but it's also a fun adventure to play some of these tunes that even the composers might have left behind for the new."
Adds Reed, one of the most respected bandleaders and concert presenters in Chicago: "So much of what they were wanting to accomplish has happened. Also, it's evident that none of the early members wanted their compositions to go away or not be accessible and archived." Each member of the group brought in some of their favorite pieces, forming an impressive repertoire spanning the AACM's entire history - from Roscoe Mitchell's "Jo Jar," a piece originally cut by a quartet that presaged the Art Ensemble, to guitarist Jeff Parker's "Days Fly By With Ruby," which is based on a riff from Fred Anderson's "Bernice" and here braided together to underline the connection.
Reid points out that while the trio might be looking into the past, its arrangements are thoroughly contemporary. "Our instrumentation gives many of the works another spin as none of the seIected pieces were created with our exact format," she says. Indeed, the trio brings a unique personality to compositions by Abrams, Braxton, Myers, Leroy Jenkins, Edward Wilkerson Jr., and Threadgill's trio Air.
For Mitchell, the trio was also an opportunity to try new ideas with her own technique. "This is its the first group that I'm utilizing electronic effects with my flute," she says. "It's a new language I'm working on but I don't want to use it in every situation. I thought this trio would be a perfect place to take off with these experiments." All three musicians lead their own bands and have established strong personalities. Reid recently released her debut album as leader with a quartet featuring guitarist Mary Halvorson, bassist Jason Roebke, and drummer Tomas Fujiwara. Mitchell, a prolific composer, has released many albums by various incarnations of her Black Earth Ensemble as well as larger bands chronicling a slew of album-length suites. Reed leads the quartet People, Places and Things and the quintet Loose Assembly, in addition to operating the celebrated Chicago multi-arts venue Constellation.
One listen makes it clear that there's nothing nostalgic or retro about this endeavor. Reid, Mitchell, and Reed explore the past through an utterly contemporary lens. "Perhaps those that have closely followed the AACM are familiar with these compositions, but maybe through hearing our performance or recording, some listeners might be compelled to investigate the originals and the AACM in general, continuing to expand the awareness of those composers and the organization."-482 Music

Taliban beheads hostage as swap deal fails
Kandahar, Afghanistan: The Taliban beheaded a hostage on Tuesday after the government failed to hand over the body of a slain commander for the militant group, a purported spokesman said.
The Afghan government had agreed to hand over the body of Mullah Dadullah, who was killed by US-led forces last month, in return for the release of five local health workers captured by the Islamist insurgents, an official said earlier.
But Shahabuddin Attal, who introduces himself as a Taliban spokesman, said a Dadullah family member had gone to retrieve the body but it was not handed over.
He warned that the guerrillas would chop off the heads of the other hostages should the government again fail to hand over Dadullah's body.
The five health workers were kidnapped in the southern province of Kandahar in March.
Their captors originally demanded the release of Taliban prisoners as ransom and instead this week asked for Dadullah's body, the official said.
"Yesterday it was agreed to," said Abdullah Fahim, a health ministry advisor. "It's their right to have the body of their relative," he added.
The swap was to be handled by local authorities in Kandahar province, Fahim said, which has seen some of the fiercest fighting between Taliban and US-led forces.
Afghan authorities buried Dadullah's body in an undisclosed location soon after he was killed. His death is seen as the biggest blow to the Taliban since they began an insurgency after their overthrow from power in 2001.
Nicknamed as Afghanistan's Al Zarqawi after the slain Al Qaida leader in Iraq, Dadullah was the main architect of suicide bombings, kidnapping of foreigners and Afghans, a series of beheadings and the rise of violence in the south.

What are your interests? We're visiting Chicago in May, and we've found there is a lot to do there.

I love going famous places. Willis Tower will for example definitely be one my visits.
Report Abuse
"I love going famous places" as opposed to ...infamous places?
Will you be spending your entire five days in the city? If not, how much time will you have? How much do you want to walk? Do you want to go shopping? ...In "name" stores? Boutiques? Vintage? Visit museums? Explore on your own? Join an organized tour? See a baseball game? Theatre? Walk/bike along the lakefront?
First, I would advise against driving into the city as the trip can take 90-120 minutes in rush hour and parking in the city is $20-25 per day. Check the schedule for the Metra commuter trains at www.metrarail.com

You might want to plan ahead for the "famous places". I was in Chicago in March for a long weekend and the Willis Tower and the Aquarium all had lines that were 1-2 hours long just to get in. Pre-booking admission is highly recommended.
The Art Institute is phenomenal. I'd return to Chicago just for that.
Report Abuse
Agree with everything on Ackislander's list, except I'd definitely skip Navy Pier.
Report Abuse
The Navy Pier is on my list for the Smith Museum of Stained Glass. Anybody visit it?
Report Abuse
We did that, CPG. It was nice, worthwhile. The rest of the pier, meh, not so much.
Report Abuse
Deb, How long does it take to walk from the beginning of the pier to the museum?
Report Abuse
It isn't a separate museum, it is actually in the pier building. From the entrance to the pier, we walked outside on the southern side of the buildings; less than 10 minutes? Not far at all. Then we went in, and walked through from the eastern most part of where the windows are displayed to the west, so that by the time we were done, we were almost half way back to the entrance. It isn't a real museum, the windows are along the corridor do the building. We did that after taking an architectural boat tour, which left from the pier area.
Report Abuse
Don't forget the Chicago Historical Society's boatride to see the architecture along the river. Fantastic!! I've done it twice and would do it again in a heartbeat. Catch the boat at the Michigan Avenue bridge.

The Federal Reserve Bank on Jackson Blvd. has a free self guided tour. There is a bit of security to get in. It is across the street from the Chicago Board of Trade.

The river boat Simpson is referring to is the Chicago Architectural Foundation's with docents on board. A wonderful and educational experience. Highly recommend it.

We used Shoreline using a groupon for $18 each. The tour guide was informative, and gave a great tour with a touch of humor as well.

The Chicago Architecture Foundation's website is www.architecture.org/tours. When we lived in Chicago, we always took out of town guests on their river cruise of Chicago's famous architectural highlights. The boat is Chicago's First Lady. The CAF also offers wonderful walking and bus tours.

We also did a free tour given by Chicago Greeters. Having used a similar program in Paris, San Francisco and Marseille, we were glad to have found this one.
We took what they call Instagreeter where you just show up and join a tour. We actually were the only 2 on the tour, so the guide asked what we were interested in seeing and learning to took it from there!
IF you want a custom tour you MUST sign up and request one at least 10 business days in advance to desired tour date
They will match you with a guide that can show you exactly what you want to see.
We would have preferred the custom tour, but didn't book far enough ahead.
For the instagreeter tour, you meet at:
Chicago Cultural Center's Visitor Center, 77 E. Randolph
and do not need to preregister. They do a Loop tour and seasonally, a Millenium Park tour.

I would definitely recommend the Chicago Greeter. My friend and I used this service for a tour in March. We made arrangements and sent a little info on our interests,ie. history, architecture, food, etc. We had a fabulous afternoon with a local greeter who showed us places we would have missed on our own. A definite highlight that led to an enjoyable afternoon with a true Chicago lover!
Report Abuse
The Chicago Cultural Center building should be checked out as well. It has quite a history, has great photos showing Chicago history and some of the rooms/ceilings, fixtures are amazing.

We've seen a couple reports where extensions that run JS code that deals with XPConnect off the main thread end up calling into nsScriptSecurityManager and then crashing (http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/2dcc69c6-ff24-4d30-9594-ba34f2100517 is one example).
We need to figure out why XPConnect is getting a hold of the main thread's security manager on these other threads. Without this, any extension that runs JS off the main thread (even if it's careful about what objects it uses off the main thread) risks crashing.
All of the magic wrapper code uses this which accesses a global
1048 XPCConvert::NativeInterface2JSObject(XPCLazyCallContext& lccx,
1244 if(NS_SUCCEEDED(rv) && wrapper)
1255 if (allowNativeWrapper &&
1256 !xpc_SameScope(wrapper->GetScope(), xpcscope, &sameOrigin))
1309 if(!JS_IsSystemObject(ccx, flat))
1329 nsIScriptSecurityManager *ssm =
1330 XPCWrapper::GetSecurityManager();
Surprisingly, that's not actually the problem (I have no clue why, I suspect it might be because it's impossible for !xpc_SameScope to be true off the main thread). The problem shown in the crash report in comment 0 is that the "default" security manager for a not-main thread is not null, which is definitely a bug.
For my reference, these are my notes from talking with mrbkap about how to reproduce this issue:
From chrome, using nsIThreadManager, dispatch a runnable to some other code I own.
Touch xpconnect. Create an object using Components.classes.(some threadsafe interface), then touch it in a way that isn't quickstubbed.
Maybe crashes in nsScriptSecurityManager (somewhere), due to bug in GetDefaultSecurityManager.
* Could put NS_ABORT_IF_FALSE(IsMainThread) in nsScriptSecurityManager::CanAccess
Created attachment 474904 [details] [diff] [review]
Testcase. The new browser test triggers an assertion I added to GetDefaultSecurityManager and kills the browser.
Created attachment 474934 [details] [diff] [review]
Patch v1
Returns null when we're not the main thread.
qref, perhaps?
Created attachment 474954 [details] [diff] [review]
Patch v1.1
Ack, sorry. qref'ed.
Blake, since this is crashing plugins, should this block?
Yes please. Firefox crashes every few minutes and that really gets my goat.
Yeah, I think so.
Could you please manage fixing this already in the next release? Current Firefox is nearly unusable because of so many crashes (mainly invoked by Yoono which I don't want to miss) and I don't want to switch back to 3.6.4 (should be Xulrunner 188.8.131.52, right?) where the problem didn't exist.
*** Bug 597287 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
We want this on the branch but wouldn't block a release on it, as it looks like there are only ~1000 crashes total per release. Please ask for approval on the patch when ready and we'll get it in the current in-flight update.
Is there a possibility of our own code calling nsScriptSecurityManager off the main thread and thus this fix would cause issues?
Whoops; didn't mean to resolve this, since we still need to land on branches.
Does this same fix apply to 1.9.1? We have it marked needed there as well. Approving for 188.8.131.52. Please ask for approval for 188.8.131.52 if it is needed there as well.
We use the status1.9.x fields to track branch status
IOW change status1.9.2 from "wanted" to ".11-fixed" when you land, and similarly for the 1.9.1 branch
Fixed on branches.
Verified for 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 based on passing unit test.

Money Quotes, Sayings about wealth
It is strange, people chase and hoard money, and even cheat the world to become rich only to finally leave it all behind.
A millionaire becomes richer not when he earns his next million but when he spends it on noble cause.
In the 21st century, the world is the body and the money is the blood.
Money doesn't bring happiness, but shopping does.
If you think money is everything, or nothing, either ways you are damn right. It's what you do, with or without money that matters.
You spend your time to make a dime. You lose your health to make your wealth, but at the end it is funny because you leave back all your money.
I love finding money in my clothes. It's like a gift to me from me.
The most powerful words other than I LOVE YOU are "Salary is Credited". :)
Money or wealth gives a sense of security and happy sentiment, but not a long lasting contentment, blissfulness and inner peace.
– Dr T.P.Chia
After you have bought everything what can money bring?
Loved by all, wanted by many, hated by none – Money.
I don't believe in money that is in your mind. I believe on money that is in your pocket.
Money does not buy happiness but, it sure pays off stress.
Money does everything.
Money is not a synonym of happiness, but life is rough and tough without money.
– Dr T.P.Chia

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Time Taken :
|8 hours
|Mocara and I went to the Japanese Jamboree at the Thames Festival last year and we wanted to dress up, so I made this since a carnival outfit seemed appropriate.
The black and white colour scheme is from the character creation option in Rumble Roses DX, where Nyami's carnival outfit is a secret costume. I also changed the colour of Nyami's hair and added small purple stars in my make-up to make it more colourful.
The main base of the costume is a fleece cap and velvet smock. The black squares are made from PVC to add texture and the sleeves have extra padding to make them look warm and cute. The bloomers are from my Amy costume and I already owned the boots and tights.
It was really fun dressing up for the festival, even if no-one recognised the character. Even though it was on the Southbank where there are always costumed performers, people seemed to think it was my normal clothes (normal? I was dressed as a CLOWN!) and someone thought I was advertising the Rocky Horror Picture Show LOL
Photos are courtesy of Chris Giles who kindly braved a 2-hour journey in the snow back to my house so we could do the shoot.

Lovesac, a manufacturer and retailer of patented foam-filled furniture, began 20 years ago with a bean bag project. The company's entrepreneurial founder, Shawn Nelson, who conceived the idea for the world's largest bean bag at age 18, has grown the company to 60 retail locations across the U.S. selling innovative bean bag-like Sacs and modular couches called Sactionals that can be configured into any arrangement.
As a company that has flourished by developing innovative products, it's no surprise the big next step for Lovesac is rolling out the mobile point of sale (POS) experience. Lovesac has selected NetSuite's SuiteCommerce InStore, a solution that unifies the physical and digital shopping experiences and offers full POS capabilities.
"We have customers who are used to the Amazon and the Apple experience", explained Kimberly Dietz, Lovesac Product Manager, Omnichannel. "In response to this modern consumer, Lovesac is working with NetSuite to create an experience where the customer will enter the store and be welcomed by sales associates who have SuiteCommerce InStore on an iPad, which offers a way to find all the former customers or create a new profile. Associates will be able to look up a customer's personal purchase history, find items for the customer and filter them based on attributes such as the item's color family or season."
Providing the associate the ability to easily look up an item on the ipad versus trying to remember a specific SKU or description is expected to create a more engaged experience for everyone, where the associate can flip through items with the customer and interactively make suggestions on color and style.
Having real-time data at their fingertips on customers, orders and inventory allows employees to provide a seamless, informed experience both pre- and post-sale.
"We have a complex enough business that we needed to find a comprehensive yet flexible solution like the one that NetSuite and SuiteCommerce InStore provide," said Dietz.
For more on how NetSuite's SuiteCommerce InStore solution is helping Lovesac streamline its processes, see the full case study in the upcoming August/September issue of RIS News.

In life, things occur that one may not understand, but must somehow accept. Sometimes people are not whom they seem. Sometimes a certain place is no longer there. Emotions fade and feelings change - nothing remains stable. Amist all of the confusion and somewhere beyond all of the pain, one must find themselves. Sometimes the strength does not come easy, but it is all out there waiting. The anger that rages inside will some day pass.

I was taken by Ms Lebowitz's responses to a questionnaire in Vanity Fair magazine.
For example: What is your most treasured possession? "English."
Who is your favourite hero of fiction? "Truth."
I believe that my reaction was common: it was one of awe in the face of brilliant and unexpected simplicity.
The world really is a complex place. Nonetheless, most of the things we admire, from the old Volkswagen Beetle to the 1985 Macintosh computer operating system, we admire because of their simplicity.
I recently finished filming a show for US public television, entitled "Service With Soul", which features five organisations with businesses ranging from police work to plastics. But all have one thing in common: startling simplicity and a profound clarity of purpose.
K Barchetti Shops. One consultant said that Katherine Barchetti's men's and womenswear shop in Pittsburgh (which averages $800 per square foot in sales against an industry average of $220) was the best retail operation he had found in more than 800 cities. The reason: All of the attention of Ms Barchetti and her staff is focused on the customer.
The shop's use of database marketing, for example, is as phenomenal as Nintendo; it is barely an exaggeration to claim that there's nothing the firm doesn't know about its 30,000 customers. Ms Barchetti's sales people, who are measured six ways daily with regard to customer satisfaction, are selected with the kind of care normally associated with entrance to medical schools. The anointed are then moulded into full-blown retailers.
"Make a customer, not a sale," says Ms Barchetti. You can smell her commitment to her customers from a mile away - and see the absence of any distractions from it.
De-Mar Plumbing. Larry Harmon is to plumbing what Michelangelo was to ceilings. He offers 24-hour-a-day service for 365 days a year (with no extra charge for off-hours calls). He has gift certificates, gives discounts to the elderly, sends out spotless trucks equipped with the sort of communication equipment you'd expect on the space shuttle - and has a points system for his service advisers (plumbers) which stresses (shades of Barchetti) making a customer for life, not a one-time sale. Every action at De-Mar is targeted unmistakably on the customer.
Nypro. The cut-throat business of injection-moulded plastics defines the term commodity. Yet Nypro, of Clinton, Massachusetts, with 22 factories round the world, has found a way to stand out. In 1989, boss Gordon Lankton decided to shoot for the moon. The quality standard for that industry at the time was 10,000 defects per million, yet Lankton chose to adopt the so-called "six sigma standard" (3.4 defects per million).
It meant firing, in effect, about 90 per cent of his 800 customers, and focusing unflinchingly on about 30 (such as Gilette and Baxter International) that were sophisticated enough to appreciate his extreme quality commitment.
Chicago Police Department. The department was a slave to the 911 emergency number, says Superintendent Matt Rodriguez. Its force of 13,000 made lots of arrests, but fears about crime continued to soar. The department's answer: the nation's biggest experiment in community policing. The basic idea: Do it with the community, not to the community.
The cops are getting much closer to the people on their beats (customers) and spending much more time working with neighbourhoods on crime prevention.
Southwest Airlines. I have reported before on Southwest's magical combination of a focused system (short hauls, one type of aircraft, no frills, no baggage transfer) and spirited service (hiring attitudes, not credentials).
Sure, a host of incentives and systems are required to keep these operations on course; and each top boss adds new twists all the time. Nonetheless, the core idea in each case could readily be understood by an 8-year-old (such as the kids in the neighbourhoods that are now better served by the Chicago Police Department).
My examination of these five companies has led me to the study of haiku, the extraordinary 17-syllable form of Japanese poetry. My objective was to try to come to understand simplicity.
A leading character in a novel by the great Russian writer Turgenev penned a one-line suicide note: "I could not simplify myself."
While suicide is hardly the answer if the clarity of your strategy is falling short of that of Larry Harmon's plumbers or the Chicago police, I believe that simplicity may be the single most important key to sustainable business success. TPG CommunicationsReuse content

Recent reviews
Good 3.1 /5 from 38 reviews
They were about charge 6 star price for a 2.5 star hotel
it was good except my room given to me has no exhaust fan in bathroom , and every one knows the effect of bathroom without exhaust fan
The hotel is located in a very good neighbourhood and close to Union metro station (~5 min walk). We could smell cigarette odour as soon as we entered the room. Room was very cramped and seems like the carpet was not vacuumed properly. In room safety deposit locker did not work. Shower fittings were broken. Though we were on 6th floor, we could still hear loud music from the night club located in the lower floors well past 2 am midnight. Hotel staff were very good and professional. The room price was outrageously expensive for the type of room we got. We you check-in reception will take your passport to make photo copy and will tell you that it will be returned to you later. Make sure you wait in the lobby and take your passport back (usually takes ~15 mins). Good things are decent internet speeds, good neighbourhood and close to metro station.
Room was very spacious, although bathroom was cramped. Wifi was fast, but had trouble connecting on the 2nd day of my stay. Decent location not far from train stops. Service was friendly. However, checkout was very slow as they called up to check the minibar, even though they had my credit card # and thus could've just billed me. Thus, there was no reason for this delay, and this is the first time I've ever encountered that. Also, there weren't enough elevators, and they were slow. Overall, though, I'd recommend this hotel. Good value for the money.
It was great hotel. Also price was reasonable

D.C. United chose UCLA midfielder Evan Raynr in the MLS supplemental draft Tuesday, the club's only selection in the four-round process.
Raynr — an attacking midfielder considered by the Bruins coaching staff as the team's most technical player — had three goals and 10 assists in 16 appearances last season and was a second-team all-Pacific 12 selection. He led the conference in assists.
United is arranging for him to report to training camp in Florida soon.
United selected Raynr with the 17th pick of the second round (36th overall). The supplemental draft is an extension of the SuperDraft, which was conducted last Thursday. United did not have a first-round supplemental pick and passed in the last two rounds.
Raynr's father David is a Hollywood writer, director and producer, and once was an actor, appearing in the 1970s TV drama "James at 15″ and portraying Sammy Davis Jr. in a Frank Sinatra mini-series in 1992. His portfolio from IMDB.
Several players with Washington region ties were chosen in the supplemental draft:
Virginia F Will Bates (fifth overall by Seattle Sounders)
Georgetown MF Andy Riemer (sixth overall by Los Angeles Galaxy; Georgetown Prep graduate)
Liberty D Uriah Bentick (17th overall by Philadelphia Union)
Ohio State F Chris Hegngi (2nd round by Portland Timbers; DeMatha High graduate, Washington Post All-Met first team in fall 2008)
Old Dominion MF Jordan LeBlanc (2nd round by Montreal Impact)
Old Dominion D Alex De John (3rd round by New England Revolution)
Virginia Commonwealth D Juan Arbelaez (3rd round by Montreal)
George Mason F Taylor Morgan (4th round by Toronto FC)
Old Dominion F Yannick Smith (4th round by Houston Dynamo)

text: Spieltape Highway Records | Moodmusic | Get Physical Arkhangelsk Renowned as one of his country's most respected purveyors of quality-fuelled house and techno, Alexander Malyutin aka Spieltape, is a man on the rise. A native of Arkhangelsk, Russia, he started his career back in 2005, with his early tracks perking the ears of none other than owners of Global Underground, who immediately snapped him up for their scene-shaping label. The intervening years have proved just as fruitful, as Spieltape has turned in cuts for the likes of Sasse's Moodmusic, Kruse & Nuernberg's Save Room, Acumen's Time Has Changed, Solee's Parquet Recordings as well as the mighty Get Physical Music. Added to all this is the not-so-small matter of Alexander's very own label, Highway Records, which he co-runs with compatriot, Mike Spirit. Partly responsible for ushering in a whole new era of Russian electronic music fans, the label's agenda spans far and wide — a fact that's indicative of a roster that's includes the likes of Adriatique, Alex Niggemann, Hector, Gui Boratto and Gorge over the years. And it's far from just the aforementioned names that can get down with Spieltape's grooves. Indeed, many of his tracks have picked up plaudits from some of the scene's most reputable international names, with Richie Hawtin, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Marco Carola, M.A.N.D.Y., Hot Since 82, Lee Burridge, DJ T., Eats Everything, Subb-an and Pleasurekraft among those who've voiced their approval. Further proof of the man's production appeal lies in the fact that both Nick Warren and Luca Bacchetti have included his music on their compilations, with Spieltape's tracks playing pertinent roles in both Balance 018 and Arkitekt 02 respectively. In 2015 Spieltape remixed the classic track "Sunset (Bird of Prey)" by none other that Fatboy Slim for a special 15th anniversary edition of his platinum album "Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars". In addition to his production credits, Spieltape is also a relentlessly busy touring DJ. A star-turn at Red Bull Music Academy's 'Bass Camp', he's also plied his trade at the likes of the legendary Kazantip Festival and the Sochi Winter Music Conference. Some of the scene's most respected clubs have come under his spell too, with Arma 17 and Propaganda in Moscow, Suicide Circus in Berlin, Supermarket in Zurich, and Volar in Hong Kong all getting the Spieltape treatment. With his best days ahead of him, these are heady times indeed for one of Russia's most talented electronic music artists.

iPhone Developer Tips Coming Soon…
I've been getting a great deal of interest in the iPhone developer tips section of this blog. So much that I've decided to move all iPhone centric tips to another blog, you guessed it, iPhoneDeveloperTips.com.
If you have ideas, suggestions or questions that might make for good iPhone tips, pass along your thoughts by commenting here or dropping me an email.
This blog won't vaporize, however, I am in the midst of a transition after nearly 8 years in mobile development with J2ME to move the iPhone, so the pace may slow a bit.
If you are involved in working with the iPhone or Xcode as a developer, author of a book, trainer/courseware development or otherwise working on the iPhone, send me an email if you are interested in exploring the possibility of a partnership or other opportunities for working together. It's been a good run with J2ME, where I've had the opportunity to work with many of world's most prominent names in the mobile device business. I'm ready for what's next, and this time around it's all about the iPhone!

text: Motherhood Tulsa's American Theatre Company Presents "Mothers and Sons" By Rich Fisher • May 16, 2016 On this installment of StudioTulsa, we learn about "Mothers and Sons," a play by Terrence McNally which originally opened on Broadway in 2014, and which opens tonight (Friday the 13th) at the Tulsa PAC's John H. Williams Theatre. It's a tragic yet often amusing depiction of an older woman from Dallas who pays an unexpected visit to the New York City apartment of her late son's partner, who is now married to another man. "How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm" (Encore presentation.) By Rich Fisher • Sep 4, 2012 On this installment of our show, which originally aired earlier this year, we speak with the author and journalist Mei-Ling Hopgood, formerly of Buenos Aires, now living and working (and parenting) in the American Midwest. Hopgood's new book is called "How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm: And Other Adventures in Parenting (from Argentina to Tanzania and Everywhere in Between)." It's an engrossing and accessible book about what we as Americans can learn from how other cultures approach the challenges all parents confront: bedtimes, potty training, feeding, play dates, teaching, and so forth.

Sojurn – The TV App
A MVVM application written using Caliburn.Micro and MahApps.metro, that gets TV data from TVMaze and displays it in a slick interface. If your new to Caliburn.Micro this is a great way to get your feet wet.
This application requires both Caliburn.Micro and MahApps.metro. Both are included in the download package. It also features amazing icons from the WindowsIcons project.
Please grab a copy of the full source code and follow along:
Download Source Code on GitHub
If you just want to run the app get the binaries on GitHub here.
(video is older and shows V1. Quite a bit has changed since, but the basics are the same.)
What is Caliburn.Micro?
Caliburn.Micro is a framework that helps with doing Model-View-ViewModel style development. It provides ways to connect the View to the ViewModel without having to do any work in the code-behind file. It also contains a Window Manager that helps define the life-cycle of "windows" and how they are created.
What is MahApps.metro?
MahApps.metro is a library you can download that contains, controls and resources to make your applications look like the Microsoft Metro UI. (Or Visual Studio's dark theme if you prefer.)
TVMaze provides some easy to use REST API's for TV information. This application uses those to provide content. You can see the API documentation here: TVMaze API
Getting Started
NOTE: Since this is open source it's been modified by others since my original posting. The code shown is no longer just my my original work. Please see the GitHub to see whom wrote what as I've updated this since the original version.
The bootstrapper is where it all begins.
using System; using System.ComponentModel.Composition; using System.ComponentModel.Composition.Hosting; using System.ComponentModel.Composition.Primitives; using System.Linq; using Caliburn.Micro; using Jarloo.Sojurn.ViewModels; namespace Jarloo.Sojurn { public class SojurnBootstrapper : Bootstrapper<MainViewModel> { private CompositionContainer container; protected override void Configure() { container = new CompositionContainer(new AggregateCatalog(AssemblySource.Instance.Select(x => new AssemblyCatalog(x)).OfType<ComposablePartCatalog>())); CompositionBatch batch = new CompositionBatch(); batch.AddExportedValue<IWindowManager>(new AppWindowManager()); batch.AddExportedValue<IEventAggregator>(new EventAggregator()); batch.AddExportedValue(container); container.Compose(batch); } protected override object GetInstance(Type serviceType, string key) { string contract = string.IsNullOrEmpty(key) ? AttributedModelServices.GetContractName(serviceType) : key; var exports = container.GetExportedValues<object>(contract); if (exports.Count() > 0) { return exports.First(); } throw new Exception(string.Format("Could not locate any instances of contract {0}.", contract)); } } }
The bootstrapper is the first thing Caliburn.Micro calls, and in this case it runs the MainViewModel.
Caliburn.Micro will use the custom Window Manager in the project called AppWindowManager to determine how to display the window:
using System.Windows; using Caliburn.Micro; using Jarloo.Sojurn.Windows; namespace Jarloo.Sojurn { internal class AppWindowManager : WindowManager { protected override Window EnsureWindow(object model, object view, bool isDialog) { Window window = view as BaseWindow; if (window == null) { if (isDialog) { window = new BaseDialogWindow { Content = view, SizeToContent = SizeToContent.WidthAndHeight }; } else { window = new BaseWindow { Content = view, SizeToContent = SizeToContent.Manual }; } window.SetValue(View.IsGeneratedProperty, true); } else { Window owner2 = InferOwnerOf(window); if (owner2 != null && isDialog) { window.Owner = owner2; } } return window; } } }
The AppWindowManager class returns a BaseWindow or BaseDialogWindow. The reason I added these is so I could have more control over templating the window. MahApps.metro lets us add items to the window chrome. In this case I've added a control that displays a push-pin, and allows the user to toggle the control topmost.
The Main ViewModel
This is where all the real action is. It exposes the TV information via the Models: Show, Season and Episode. When you click the "+" button it calls the AddShowViewModel and injects an IInformationProvider instance into it. The default one is the TvMazeInformationProvider but you can provide any implementation as long as it fits the interface. (for example there is another for TvRage which used to be the default)
Information Providers
The TVMazeInformationProvider handles downloading and parsing the data into the Models mentioned, which are then returned to the MainViewModel. Since the TVMaze API is REST, it is very easy to work with.
To download and parse the full episode information for a show it boils down to this:
public Show GetFullDetails(int showId) { try { var requestShowDetailUri = $"{BASE_URL}shows/{HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(showId)}"; var shdata = GetJsonData(requestShowDetailUri); var show = new Show { ShowId = shdata.id, Name = shdata.name, Started = GetDate(shdata.premiered), Ended = null, Country = GetCountryCode(shdata), Status = shdata.status, ImageUrl = GetImage(shdata.image), AirTimeHour = GetTime(shdata.schedule.time, 'H'), AirTimeMinute = GetTime(shdata.schedule.time, 'M') }; var requestShowEpisodsUri = $"{BASE_URL}shows/{HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(showId)}/episodes"; var epdata = GetJsonData(requestShowEpisodsUri); //I could not use linq becuase the json data is dynamic //use old reliable foreach DateTime? lastEpisodeAirDate = null; var seasonNumber = 0; Season season = null; foreach (var ep in epdata) { if (ep.season != seasonNumber) { season = new Season {SeasonNumber = ep.season}; show.Seasons.Add(season); seasonNumber = ep.season; } //the season can't be null because the ep.season starts from 1 in TvMaze API //and the 'if' statment above initialize the vavriable season?.Episodes.Add(new Episode { EpisodeNumber = ep.number, AirDate = GetDate(ep.airdate), Title = ep.name, Link = ep.url, ImageUrl = GetImage(ep.image), ShowName = shdata.name, SeasonNumber = ep.season, Summary = RemoveHtmlTags(ep.summary.ToString()) }); //if needed (check by status) get the value for the last Episode AirDate as the show's end date if (show.Status == "Ended") lastEpisodeAirDate = GetDate(ep.airdate); } show.Ended = lastEpisodeAirDate; //check if there are seasons //if not return null for an exception if (season == null) return null; foreach (var t in show.Seasons) { for (var e = 0; e < t.Episodes.Count; e++) { t.Episodes[e].EpisodeNumberThisSeason = e + 1; } } show.LastUpdated = DateTime.Now; return show; } catch { return null; } }
Handling Images
The ImageHelper class is used to download and process all the images for each episode, as well as the artwork for each show. The URL's to the images for the shows and episodes are stored in the corresponding models. All image downloading is done on background threads to ensure the application stays responsive. Once each image is downloaded it's saved (see Persistence) and then displayed.
public static void GetEpisodeImages(Show show) { foreach (var episode in show.Seasons.SelectMany(season => season.Episodes)) { episode.IsLoading = true; } Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { foreach (var season in show.Seasons.OrderByDescending(w=>w.SeasonNumber)) { foreach (var episode in season.Episodes.OrderByDescending(w=>w.EpisodeNumber)) { Episode e = episode; if (episode.ImageUrl != null) { string extension = Path.GetExtension(e.ImageUrl); string file = string.Format("{0}_{1}_{2}{3}", show.ShowId, season.SeasonNumber, e.EpisodeNumber, extension); string folder = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["IMAGE_CACHE"]); if (!Directory.Exists(folder)) Directory.CreateDirectory(folder); string filename = Path.Combine(folder, file); if (!File.Exists(filename)) { using (WebClient web = new WebClient()) { web.DownloadFile(e.ImageUrl, filename); } } Execute.BeginOnUIThread(() => { if (extension.ToUpper() == ".PNG") { Stream imageStreamSource = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read); PngBitmapDecoder decoder = new PngBitmapDecoder(imageStreamSource, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.Default); e.ImageSource = decoder.Frames[0]; } else { try { e.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(filename)); } catch { //File most likely corrupted File.Delete(filename); } } }); } Execute.BeginOnUIThread(() => e.IsLoading = false); } } }); }
The LocalJsonPersistanceManager class is used to save and load information from a data store. In this case the hard-disk. This class uses one main file that can be found in your Application Folder's "Data" directory. It's called index.json. This is where all the show and episode data is stored. The Images that are downloaded are all stored in the Application Folder's "ImageCache" folder.
Extending the project
Sojurn has a few extendable parts.
- Information Providers: This is the bit of code that takes user requests for TV shows and contacts an external API to provide the necessary information in the format Sojurn expects.
- Persistance Managers: This is responsible for saving information to the disk.
- Stream Providers: This provides a link to a streaming site to quickly watch the show.
These are all defined in the config file like so:
<add key="InformationProvider" value="Jarloo.Sojurn.InformationProviders.TvMazeInformationProvider"/> <add key="PersistanceManager" value="Jarloo.Sojurn.Data.LocalJsonPersistenceManager"/> <add key="StreamProvider" value="Jarloo.Sojurn.StreamProviders.PutLockerStreamProvider"/>
If you write your own class for any of these, you can replace the default one by modifying the App.config and entering your own class. The MainViewModel will dynamically create your class in the base constructor and use dependence injection to pass it to another constructor.
[ImportingConstructor] public MainViewModel(IWindowManager windowManager) : this( windowManager, (IInformationProvider)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["InformationProvider"])), (IPersistenceManager)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PersistanceManager"])), (IStreamProvider)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StreamProvider"]))) { }
This was a fun application to build and I'm happy with the result, hopefully you'll find it useful.
The app uses several icons for the user interface. These are all free created by the wonderfull WindowsIcons project. (license file included in the download)

SimonFantastic code even though it is far beyond my capabilities (I am quite new to coding but a fast learner. Tell me, how would you do to get a picture from a URL streamed to an imagesource without saving it to disk as I am dealing with thousands and it would just consume far too much space in the end. Regards, Simon
Posted: July 31, 2013 01:41
SimonOkay, I am in awe of your coding there and I can't help but suspect it was easy for you. WOudl you be able to tell me where (you went or)I can go to learn to use Json in my wpf project and especially how to use those Persistance managers you implemented in your project (I suspect that is not the proper name of it since google is not helping here). Seriously, hoping I can learn a new way of data usage by analysing your project if you don't mind.

cableheadJust noticed that when all shows are deleted - or you delete one show- the image cache always keeps a copy
Posted: September 6, 2014 08:29
cableheadI managed to get a FlyOut to contain the AddShowView xaml - everyrthing looks great but I cannot figure out how to add the AddShowViewModel to the FlyOut - is it possible
Posted: September 16, 2014 13:01
cableheadOne question - How does the Add button become Enabled on the ListBox selection_change - I cannot find any code in the ViewModel that would do it Thanks
Posted: October 29, 2014 09:44
AndrewOk, dumb question, but how do I actually open up this app and use it?
Posted: December 31, 2014 10:57
David DalyHi, Is there a tutorial document showing how to load the app on your PC? For example, after downloading the source files can you open a index file in a browser? I'm trying to open this on my PC.
Posted: December 31, 2014 11:01
David DalyHi, I'm sorry, I've seen my question was answered. My PC is not allowing me to open the app. Windows 8.1 says 'Windows protected your PC from opening a potentially harmful program' Can you help please?
Posted: October 21, 2016 14:58
AnonymooseYou should start checking for the "ImageCache" folder upon launch. It will fail to work unless you manually create that directory atm.

Boston celebrates International Chocolate Day
The Equal Exchange Café in Boston celebrated International Chocolate Day on Tuesday night. Representatives from Taza Chocolate, Root Capital, and Equal Exchange spoke about the benefits of supporting small farmers in the chocolate industry.
During the event, the Equal Exchange Café served homemade hot chocolate made with their chocolate. Next
Taza provided samples of multiple types of their bean to bar chocolate. Next
Alex Whitmore, the founder of Taza Chocolate, said the idea for Taza came about by him wanting to start a company that he was proud to work at every day.
"We're all about personal relationships, quality, and a fair price," Whitmore said. Next
Rob Everts, the co-executive director of Equal Exchange, said it's exciting to see people become more interested in bean to bar chocolate.
"In cacao, it feels like there's a renaissance going on," Everts said. "People are asking questions and not taking the easy answers." Next
People gathered to hear about the benefits of buying chocolate that supports small cacao farmers. Next
Season To Taste Catering provided hors d'oeuvres, including molasses braised crispy pork belly in a steamed bun with quick pickle and dragon sauce. Next

Forward: Forward converters are isolated buck derived converters that are popular in high power applications (>75 W) and are typically found in telecommunications products and ATX power supplies. They provide a cost effective solution and fill the gap between flyback converters and high power bridge converters.
Flyback: Flyback converters are isolated buck-boost derived converters that are popular among low power applications(<250 W) and are found in a vast majority of consumer products (notebook adapters, DVD players, set-top boxes, satellite receivers, LCD monitors). These converters are simple to design and use and are a cost effective solution for power conversion requirements.
Resonant: Resonant converters are isolated soft-switching converters that are popular in high power applications (>75 W) and are typically found in Flat Panel display power converters, high power AC/DC notebook adapters, industrial and medical power sources, and offline battery chargers. They are highly efficient due to reduced switching losses (zero-voltage switching and zero-current switching) and have much higher switching frequencies than comparable PWM controllers.
Further refine your output power requirements, within the initial 0-25 W range.
Switcher: Switchers are recommended for low power applications and are ideal if you have limited experience in designing power supplies. Switchers provide a monolithic solution that integrates the PWM controller and switch as part of the silicon solution.
Controller: Standalone PWM controllers are recommended if you are an experienced designer and you wish to have full control over device parameters and signals, particularly the gate-source shape.
Fixed: Extremely low standby power helps to easily meet applicable regulations. These controllers can help to meet the toughest design challenges while keeping cost at a minimum.
Variable: Variable frequency controllers include quasi-resonant and resonant controllers. These controllers are used respectively in critical conduction mode quasi-resonant flyback converters and half bridge resonant LLC converters. These topologies minimize EMI radiation, provide better magnetic utilization and offer excellent power conversion efficiency – up to 90%. The variable frequency controllers combine the advantages of working directly off-line with the ability to drive an external high voltage MOSFET, and offer enhanced design flexibility.
Selecting Simplicity will lead to devices that simplify transformer design by avoiding use of an auxiliary winding. Selecting Efficiency will lead to devices that enable maximum power supply efficiency.
