By Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON On the morning after the 9/11 attacks, Alberto Gonzales, then President Bush's chief legal counsel, was the picture of quiet confidence for anxious staffers gathered in the West Wing.
Gonzales, known to many as "The Judge" in respect of his former job as a Texas Supreme Court justice, didn't flinch at the thought of what terrorists might do next. Helgi Walker, who was a White House lawyer at the time, said, "The Judge was calm and reassuring."
This week, 5½ years later and in the midst of a growing political controversy, some are seeing Gonzales — now the U.S. attorney general — quite differently.
"The body armor has been removed and the hits have taken their toll," Rutgers University political scientist Ross Baker said of the 51-year-old Texan.
Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Gonzales has displayed little grasp of details surrounding the abrupt dismissal of eight federal prosecutors. The firings have brought calls for Gonzales' resignation and Congressional investigations as the attorney general faces his biggest crisis.
Specter said Gonzales' explanations for the firings were "unacceptable" and even "mystifying."
The two very different portraits offer what some analysts, including Baker and Caroline Fredrickson, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Washington Legislative Office, describe as Gonzales' rough transition from a largely shrouded role as President Bush's personal lawyer to the administration's public face as the nation's top law enforcement officer.
In his former job, Gonzales was portrayed in media accounts as a consummate backroom operative whose close relationship with the president made him one of the most influential figures in the White House. He was also frequently mentioned as a possible nominee to the Supreme Court.
As attorney general — outside the protective bubble of the West Wing — Gonzales has been forced to stand on his own in a job made more difficult when Democrats seized control of Congress. "There is no place to hide," Baker says.
Republicans join in
So far, the attorney general is finding precious little cover. President Bush reasserted his support for his longtime friend and confidant on Monday.
Beyond the White House, Gonzales has seen his standing fade almost by the day, even in his own party. Three Republicans have joined a legion of Democrats in calling for the attorney general to step down. Other key Republicans, meanwhile, have notably refused to offer critical votes of confidence.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, one of the attorney general's close friends in Washington, early this week described Gonzales as "a good man." At the same time, however, the senator expressed deep concern about Justice Department's incomplete explanations for the firings.
Initially, Justice Department officials told Congress that the dismissals were based on the prosecutors' poor performance and that the White House played a limited role in the removals.
Days later, Gonzales and the White House revised their account, saying that former White House Counsel Harriet Miers first raised the idea of removing all 93 U.S. attorneys in an effort to develop new party leadership during Bush's second term.
Explanations shifted again late last week when administration e-mails showed that White House political strategist Karl Rove was inquiring about a prosecutor removal plan as early as January 2005.
Fredrickson, of the ACLU's Washington legislative office, said criticism of Gonzales' management of the dismissals is only one reason for his uncertain standing now.
Fredrickson said the attorney general's professional standing was perhaps permanently altered when as White House counsel he authored a 2002 memorandum in which he called the Geneva Conventions' limitation on questioning enemy prisoners "obsolete" and that some of the restrictions were "quaint."
Although Gonzales was confirmed in February 2005, by the then-Republican-controlled Senate, his contentious confirmation hearings were largely dominated by questions about the administration's views on torture.
A welcome change in '04
When Gonzales was first nominated in late 2004 to replace John Ashcroft, his selection was seen as a dramatic departure in style at the Justice Department.
Gonzales would become the first Hispanic to serve as the nation's top law enforcement official. And while Gonzales, as White House counsel, had a large role in developing some of the most provocative legal tactics in the war on terrorism, his quiet personality and deferential demeanor represented a striking counterweight to Ashcroft's brash, hard-line conservative ways.
Among those who offered largely positive reviews of Gonzales' initial nomination was Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.
"It's encouraging that the president has chosen someone less polarizing," Schumer said at the time. "We will have to review his record very carefully, but I can tell you already he's a better candidate than John Ashcroft."
Schumer, who ultimately voted against Gonzales' confirmation, is now leading the Senate Judiciary Committee inquiry into the prosecutors' dismissal and was among the first Democrats to call for Gonzales' resignation.
Former Justice spokesman Mark Corallo said the firestorm that now threatens Gonzales' job could have been avoided altogether.
"There is nothing wrong with contemplating the removal of U.S. attorneys," he said. Where the Gonzales Justice Department went wrong, Corallo said, is when Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty told the Senate Judiciary Committee last month that all but one of the prosecutors were removed because of poor performance.
"There was an easy way to handle this," he said. "You call these prosecutors, and you tell them you love them, but it's time for them to go. They get sterling recommendations, the gold watch and nobody complains. But the idea that the deputy attorney general would go out and trash their reputations is outrageous."

President-Elect Donald Trump is not about to allow the United Nations to determine United States policy or to disrupt relations with long-standing allies.
"The resolution being considered at the United Nations Security Council regarding Israel should be vetoed," Trump stated about a recent UN Resolution regarding Israel.
"This puts Israel in a very poor negotiating position and is extremely unfair to all Israelis,"Donald Trump said after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Barack Obama to veto a United Nations Security Council draft resolution calling to settlement building on land Palestinians want to claim for a state, to come to an abrupt and immediate halt.
The Obama era of weakness and compliance with foreign political correctness at the U.N. is about to come to an end.
Prime Minister Netanyahu took a page from Trump's book and began tweeting about the disastrous resolution late last night. Netanyahu's said, via Twitter, that Obama might be in the midst of taking one final shot at Israel before leaving the Oval Office, the Jerusalem Post reports.
Trump also stated, "The United States has long maintained, peace between the Israelis and Palestinians will only come through direct negotiations between the parties, and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations."
On Wednesday evening Egypt circulated the draft of the resolution to the 15-member United Nations Security Council. The council will vote on the matter at 3 p.m. today.
The U.N. resolution would demand Israel "immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem." Staying true to form, the White House has been unwilling to take a firm stand on this controversial issue and has not shown any indication of backing our only true ally in the Middle East.
According to reported statements from Egypt, it is currently unclear how the United States will vote on the matter. In the past, America has worked diligently to protect Israel from the United Nation's desire to follow through with a two-state solution in the region.
Some diplomats are, reportedly, hoping Obama will stay silent on the matter and merely abstain from the vote – allowing it to move forward within the United Nations Security Council. The difference in governing mindsets between the lame duck President and the President-Elect has never been more clear.
"In a few hours we will receive the answer from our American friends," Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon, said during an interview on Israeli Army Radio. "I hope very much it will be the same one we received in 2011 when the version was very similar to the one proposed now and the US ambassador to the UN at the time, Susan Rice, vetoed it."
The United Nations resolution draft states the building of settlements by Israel has "no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law." Obama has been extremely critical of the construction of Israeli settlements in both Jerusalem and the West Bank throughout his tenure in office.
Leaders of Israel settlements and top government officials have reportedly been encouraged by the election of Donald Trump. The President-Elect has indicated he will foster a more friendly relationship with our ally. He has even appointed one of his attorneys as Washington's new ambassador to Israel.

HIV/AIDS is a global epidemic afflicting more than 33 million people worldwide. HIV can often be suppressed for many years with anti-retroviral medications, and over 15 billion dollars were spent on these medications in 2010. Biologics such as HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) VRC01, PG9, and b12 and peptides such as Enfuvirtide are potent inhibitors of HIV and offer themselves as alternatives to standard small-molecule anti- retroviral medications, typically with fewer side effects. However, unlike small-molecule treatments, biologics typically have to be injected, and this need for injection can be problematic especially if the injections are frequent. For example, Enfuvirtide, the first FDA-approved biologic approved for treating HIV, requires twice- daily injections, and very frequently causes injection site reactions. Immusoft's proof-of-concept studies have demonstrated the ability to induce secretion of broadly neutralizing anti-HIV antibodies from autologous human cell with a lentiviral vector. This treatment approach eliminates the need for frequent and often painful injections. It also offers the possibility of targeting the therapeutic biologic to certain tissues harboring cells with latent HIV infection. The proposed study will achieve three mission goals for continuing to validate the commercial viability of the delivery system in vivo. Our first specific aim will define vector and culture media requirements necessary to most efficiently transduce and expand modified immune cells. Our second specific aim will test for compatibility of the vector, and culture system with cells from the primate Macaca nemestrina in preparation for a phase II application. Our third specific aim will introduce modified cells into an immunocompromised mouse to measure secretion of the HIV-neutralizing antibody VRC01. Overall, the goal of these experiments is to optimize the culture system conditions, and to estimate the numbers of cells required for a phase II study in a primate model. The phase II application will investigate long-term biologic production, cell homing, and system safety in vivo, as well as expand the number of HIV-targeting biologics to those that have shown the most promise in clinical trials. Given the very high-level conservation between human and monkey biology, we expect that the critical components comprising the system will translate well. In the event that it is not possible to utilize monkey cells, we intend to utilize humanized mice, for which we have ongoing collaborations.
HIV is an incurable disease and a global epidemic affecting over 33.3 million people. New biologic-based treatments like monoclonal antibodies and peptides are a promising new approach with fewer side effects, but they require frequent injections. Technology that would make a patient's own cells produce biologic-based treatments constantly could be an ideal treatment strategy for HIV.

This is article lists the most Frequently Asked Questions about Trend Micro SSL.
Which browsers support Deep Security for Web Apps certificates?
For more information, refer to the following KB article: Browsers and devices supported by Deep Security for Web Apps certificate.
What is the difference between DV, OV, and EV certificates?
For more information, refer to the following KB article: Difference between Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV) and Extended Validation (EV) certificates.
Do I need to install the Deep Security for Web Apps root certificate?
Once you properly install the certificate chain on your web server, Deep Security for Web Appswill be trusted across 99% of browsers being used today.
Most users will have the Deep Security for Web Appsroot certificate installed. However, if you do not have it installed and you visit a site secured with a Deep Security for Web Appscertificate, the browser will ask you whether you want to trust certificates issued by Trend Micro. If the answer yes, the Deep Security for Web Appsroot certificates will be installed automatically. If the answer no, you can still opt to work within the secure session, but will be prompted again the next time you visit the site.
How do you know that you are accessing a trusted server?
When you access a server secured with a Deep Security for Web Apps certificate, you will see a padlock at the bottom, top, or in the address bar of your browser. If you click the padlock, you will see the details of the server's SSL certificate.
If the server is secured with a Deep Security for Web AppsEV certificate, the browser address bar turns green in all browsers that support the EV standard, including Internet Explorer 7 or higher, Firefox 3 or higher, Opera 8 or higher, Chrome, and Safari.
How do I get 128-bit or 256-bit secure web sessions?
The strength of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) session created using Deep Security for Web Appscertificates is related to the strength of the user's browser and your web server policy. If the browser supports 128-bit encryption, then a 128-bit session will be established with the web server. The same is true for 256-bit encryption.
If the browser only supports 40-bit encryption, then only a 40-bit session will be established – even if your web server supports 128 or 256-bit sessions.
If the browser only supports 40-bit encryption, Deep Security for Web Apps recommends upgrading to the latest supported version of the browser.
Should I use SHA-1 or SHA-2 for my certificates?
When you use Deep Security for Web Apps to request a certificate, you can specify whether to use a SHA-2 hash for the certificate signature. If you don't select the SHA-2 option, the certificate will use SHA-1.
SHA-2 is a newer and stronger cryptographic algorithm than SHA-1, but SHA-1 certificates are still generally considered secure. SHA-2 certificates are supported on most modern browsers, operating systems, mail clients, and mobile devices. SHA-1 certificates are supported more widely because they are supported on older systems such as Windows XP SP2 or earlier. SHA-2 may also be required by certain regulations, for example, PCI compliance and certain federal regulations.
What is a wildcard certificate?
For more information, refer to the following article: Information about wildcard certificate.
How long are Deep Security for Web Apps certificates valid?
With your Deep Security for Web Apps account, you can issue 2-year OV and EV SSL certificates. As a part of the unlimited service, you can get as many certificates as you need, whenever needed. If you need an SSL certificate with a shorter validity period, you can simply revoke the certificate at any time.
How do I create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)?
For the procedure, refer to the following KB article: Creating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
Can I use a CSR with a 1024-bit key length?
No. Recommendations from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and mandatory requirements of the Microsoft Root Certificate Program state that certificates issued after January 1, 2011 should have a minimum key length of 2048 bits. To fully comply with these recommendations, all Trend Micro SSL certificates will have a minimum length of 2048 bits.
What should I do if I get a "CSR cannot be decoded or is invalid" message?
To resolve the issue, refer to the following KB article: Getting an error message "CSR cannot be decoded or is invalid" when ordering a certificate.
What is a weak RSA key?
Between 2006 and 2008, the Debian OpenSSL library contained a bug that resulted in the generation of weak, predictable keys for SSL certificates and other uses. The bug also compromises other keys and passwords that are transmitted over an encrypted link that uses weak keys.
When you request an SSL certificate by pasting a CSR into the Deep Security for Web Apps console, the console checks whether the CSR contains a Debian weak key. If the CSR contains a weak key, you will need to upgrade to the new version of the OpenSSL package and create a new CSR.
Which certificates do I have to install on my servers and does the order matter?
For more information, refer to the KB article: Installing SSL Certificates.
Where can I find and download the intermediate certificates I need?
For more information, refer to the KB article: Downloading intermediate certificates in Deep Security for Web Apps.
Which web servers are compatible with Deep Security for Web Apps certificates?
Deep Security for Web Apps certificates can be issued for any server that is compatible with the x.509 v3 standard and is able to make a certificate request in PKCS#10 format. This includes most recent servers, including:

- Nginx
- Netscape Enterprise Server v3 or higher
- Netscape Commerce Server v1 or higher
- Netscape FastTrack Server
- Stronghold Server
- Internet Application Server 1.0
- Netscape iPlanet Web Server 4.1
How do I import and export SSL certificates in Windows?
For the procedure, refer to the following KB article: Importing and exporting SSL certificates in Windows.
How do I export or back up a certificate?
For the procedure, refer to the KB article: Exporting an SSL certificate for Deep Security for Web Apps 2.0.
Do I need to install the Trend Micro root certificate?
Normally, when you install an SSL certificate, you also need to install the intermediate CA certificates but not the root certificate. Unless your server vendor specifically requires you to install the root certificate, you should not install it on your web server.
You can download all of the required certificates from the Deep Security for Web Apps console. In the console, click Protection > Certificates. Click the Common Name of the certificate. On the Details page, click Download.
Do I require the Trend Micro chain certificate?
Yes. All certificates with a validity date later than 31 December 2010 require a chain certificate.
How many Deep Security for Web Apps SSL certificates are required in a load-balancing environment?
You need one Deep Security for Web Apps SSL certificate for each of your secure web servers (including any virtual web servers). With a Deep Security for Web Apps unlimited certificate account, there are no additional costs to support this.
How many servers can I secure with one SSL certificate?
As a part of the ground-breaking Deep Security for Web Apps unlimited certificate account, Deep Security for Web AppsSSL certificates are provided with licensing for an unlimited number of servers included in the standard price. This allows you to easily secure your primary server, a secondary or backup server, and a load balancer.
To move your certificate between servers, you need to install the certificate on the web server where you generated the CSR and then export the SSL certificate and its private key to a PFX or PKCS12 file. You can then import that file on another web server.

What is Subject Alternative Name (SAN)?
For more information, refer to the KB article: Scenarios when adding Subject Alternative Names (SANs) to certificates.
I have moved servers. Can I use the same Deep Security for Web Apps SSL certificate?
Providing that the domain name does not change, you can use the same. Export the SSL certificate from the old web server and import it into the new one. Both the certificate and its associated private key must be exported and then imported, and the method for completing the export/import will depend on the type of web server software you are using.
You encounter any of the following scenarios:
- You cannot export your certificate and the private key is missing.
- You lost the private key for SSL.
- You want to change the Common Name after the certificate has been issued.
- You want to test if the SSL is installed correctly.
- The page loads over https without error, however, the padlock does not appear.
- You receive a warning stating that the page contains both secure and non-secure items.

What is an EV SSL certificate?
For more information, refer to the following KB article: Difference between Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV) and Extended Validation (EV) certificates.
Are non-EV SSL certificates still sufficient for securing online transactions?
From a cryptographic security perspective, yes, non-EV SSL certificates still result in encrypted SSL sessions.
However, the greatest threat to online transactions is not cryptographic in nature – it is fraudulent web sites luring users with phishing attacks. Phishing uses social engineering and counts on a consumer's inability to discern between trustworthy sites and imposter sites.
The EV initiative is the result of the industry realizing that there needs to be a more readily-identifiable for users to know they are on a valid site. From a usability perspective, non-EV certificates have decreasing effectiveness, as consumers adopt new browsers and come to expect the strong trust indicators provided by EV SSL certificates while conducting transactions.
How do Deep Security for Web Apps EV certificates increase consumer confidence?
With online fraud on the rise and phishing becoming a common occurrence, consumers are concerned with identity theft and would like increased confidence in the sites they use to perform transactions online. If consumers feel the site is not trusted and their personal information is unprotected, they may leave the site and take their business to another vendor.
Deep Security for Web Apps EV certificates help to increase consumer confidence by displaying prominent and consistent trust indicators while consumers are conducting online transactions. When a website has a Deep Security for Web Apps EV certificate installed:
- A lock appears in the address bar of the browser
- The address bar turns green and displays the identity of the site.
- You can click the lock to view information about the server's SSL certificate.
Should I switch to Deep Security for Web Apps EV certificates?
If you are operating a website that conducts e-commerce transactions or if you collect sensitive or private information, you should consider switching to Deep Security for Web Apps EV certificates. There is no additional cost to your organization thanks to the unlimited certificate service that Trend Micro provides.
What is the CA/Browser Forum?
The CA/Browser Forum is a group of Certification Authority service providers, web browser manufacturers, and other industry participants that work together to look at ways to reduce the threat of phishing and other internet attacks.
Trend Micro actively works in this group and strongly supports its work.
What is the EV certificate vetting process?
As defined by the CA Browser (CAB) Forum guidelines, the Extended Validation vetting process establishes the legitimacy of an organization within a specific jurisdiction of incorporation. It also clearly identifies the organization's principal place of business through a rigorous and stringent set of well-defined validation processes. The process encompasses authentication of the organization's domain ownership rights as well as contractually binding the organization to a subscriber agreement, which benefits relying parties and strengthens the security of the Internet as a whole.
Does the Deep Security for Web Apps EV certificate show the green address bar?
The use of a Deep Security for Web Apps EV certificate will turn the browser address bar green in all browsers that support the EV standard, including Internet Explorer 7 or higher, Firefox 3 or higher, Opera 8 or higher, Chrome, and Safari.
How do browsers respond when they visit a website with an invalid certificate?
In most browsers, a very apparent red address bar will appear, indicating that you may have accessed a known phishing site or that the certificate is not valid in some way.
A red alert blocks immediate access to reported phishing sites, although users can proceed to the site if they wish.
Internet Explorer includes prominent warnings to users and will recommend users not visit the page.
If the user ignores the warnings and continues the address bar turns red and red warning 'security badges' appear.
Can I get free reissues of my EV certificates?
Absolutely. As a part of the unlimited service you enjoy from Deep Security for Web Apps, you can reissue an SSL certificate any time during its lifetime, without any additional charge. This can all be done easily through the Deep Security for Web Apps console.
Who can purchase a Deep Security for Web Apps EV certificate?
A broad range of business entities, as per rigid guidelines, are able to purchase an EV certificate:
Private Organization: A non-governmental legal entity (whether ownership interests are privately held or publicly traded) whose existence was created by a filing with (or an act of) the Incorporating Agency in its Jurisdiction of Incorporation.
Government Entity: A government-operated legal entity, agency, department, ministry, or similar element of the government of a country, or political subdivision within such country (such as a state, province, city, county, etc.).
Business Entity: Any entity that is neither a Private Organization nor a government entity. Examples include general partnerships, unincorporated associations, and sole proprietorships.
Can I upgrade my existing SSL certificates to Deep Security for Web Apps EV certificates?
Yes. With some additional effort (as mandated under the EV guidelines), your organization can deploy an unlimited amount of EV certificates to your online businesses and enjoy the increase confidence they bring to end users.
What are the validation requirements for Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates?
For more information on validation requirements, refer to the following KB artlcle: Validation requirements for Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates.

The Parable of the Woman of Tekoah (5 of 15) by Clarence E. Macartney
This content is part of a series.The Parable of the Woman of Tekoah (5 of 15)
Series: The Parables of the Old Testament
Clarence Macartney
2 Samuel 14:1-24
We come now to the greatest of the parables of the Old Testament. I call it the greatest, not because it is superior in form and directness. It has not the winsomeness of the parable told by Nathan, nor the biting irony of Jotham's fable. But it stands first in the chief thought which it brings to our consideration-the way in which God has devised means to reconcile the world to Himself.
When David confessed his sin, the Lord forgave him. Nathan said to him, ''The Lord hath put away thy sin. But the sword shall never depart from thy house.'' David's sin was forgiven, but he had to suffer for his sin. The results of sin were not canceled. David could repent and confess, but there was one thing that he could not do; he could not stop the swords of suffering and woe that he had loosed from their scabbards. The first one to feel the anguish of those swords of retribution was the one in all the world the most innocent-the little child.
''And the Lord smote the child.'' It was as if He had put the sword in David's own hand, and had said, ''Smite the child!'' That was only the first drop in the cup of bitterness that David had brewed for himself. The two sins which had disgraced him were to reproduce themselves favorite sons, Amnon and Absalom. Those names were sad misnomers for David. Amnon means ''faithful,'' and Absalom, ''the peace of his father.'' Oh, bitter disappointment! When Amnon was born, David named him ''Faithful,'' for he was filled with the joy of having a son who should be faithful and loyal to his father and to his father's God. He named the other ''Peace of his Father,'' for he looked forward to the days when this son should be the peace of his declining days.
See how his dreams came true. There is Amnon, a filthy wretch, faithless even to the ordinary standards of decency, cut down by his brother's sword. There i ...

Accurate model of the wind farm is the basis for the analysis of wind power integrating grid. Firstly, the comparison is made between the standard power characteristic curve and the measured scatter plot of wind speed-active power for DFIG. The wind speed-active power model is proposed based on the measured data. For the wind speed differences of wind turbines in large wind farm caused by complex terrain and the crew irregular arrangement, K-means clustering algorithm is used for the equivalent wind speed model of the whole wind farm. Then the wind speed-active power model of wind farm based on measured data is proposed. Taking an actual wind farm as example, K-means clustering algorithm is used to the clusters division. Result shows that the division by wind speed is different from that by location of wind turbine units. Finally, to verify the effectiveness of the new wind speed-active power model, the error comparative analysis is made between the new model and the traditional model. Result shows that the accuracy of the model is greatly improved with the proposed method.

Live detection of electrical equipment can be conducted with infrared thermal imaging technology. This paper discusses the application of the infrared thermal imaging technology to the condition-based maintenance of electrical equipment via some instances of infrared temperature measurement. The temperature distribution of insulation media within electrical equipment can be measured by the infrared thermal imaging technology to find insulation failure and equipment defects of electrical equipment in operation, and further to track and analyze operational status of the equipment. Thus, necessary measures can be taken to avoid accidents and ensure safe and stable operation of electrical equipment. The infrared thermal imaging technology plays an important role in the condition-based maintenance of electrical equipment in power transmission grid.
Application of gap-adjustable lightning protection device to lightning protection of 35 kV substation

Liang S.-H.,Anhui Huainan Pingwei Power Company Ltd
Gaoya Dianqi/High Voltage Apparatus | Year: 2012
Aiming at lightning accidents in 35 kV substations in a certain region, U 50% flashover voltage tests for the insulators on incoming line and field investigation were conducted, and severe defect in insulation coordination was found in the substations in this region, i.e. higher insulation level of transmission line and resistivity of the mountain soil cause the lightning invasion wave on the line not to attenuate sufficiently, and cause the lack of lightning discharge channel, which results in frequent lightning strike damages on the main transformers in 35 kV substations. In order to solve the lightning strike problem, a protection scheme is proposed in this paper by installing gap-adjustable lightning protection device in parallel on the insulators on incoming line and adopting arrester at substation. The insulation coordination of the device and insulator string as well as the design principle is analyzed, and the gap distance of the gap-adjustable lightning protection device for the region is designed through theoretical calculation and test. Simulation via the power system electromagnetic transient program ATP-EMTP shows that the gap-adjustable lightning protection device is feasible and effective. Considering that the gap is easy to induce clipped wave, which may significantly impact voltage, a reactor is concatenated to incoming line of transformer for inhibiting the effect of clipped wave over-voltage.

One must accomplish two things when earning a PhD. First one must understand a particular subject thoroughly. Secondly, one must extensively in knowledge about that subject.
A PhD in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences focuses on human thoughts and culture. It is an advanced level of education, often focusing on student teacher relationships, advanced research methods, and higher tier courses.
The USA remains the world's most popular destination for international students. Universities in the US dominate the world rankings and the country also offers a wide variety of exciting study locations. State university systems are partially subsidized by state governments, and may have many campuses spread around the state, with hundreds of thousands of students.

A Baton Rouge pastor accused more than a year ago of raping an intellectually limited 20-year-old woman at the behest of her father will not be charged, a prosecutor and the pastor's attorney said Thursday.
David "Scott" Lemley, pastor of New Harmony Baptist Church on Antioch Road, had told sheriff's investigators that the woman was prone to making up stories for no reason.
East Baton Rouge Parish Assistant District Attorney Sue Bernie said that is not why prosecutors decided not to prosecute the 44-year-old Lemley, who was booked early last year on an aggravated rape count.
"That determination was not made because we think she makes up stories," Bernie stressed. "There was a legal analysis done."
The provision of Louisiana's aggravated rape statute under which Lemley was arrested, she noted, states that the crime occurs when the victim is prevented from resisting the act "because the victim suffers from a physical or mental infirmity preventing such resistance."
Lemley's arrest warrant says the woman has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old, but Bernie said the woman's intellectual limitations do not rise to the level cited in the aggravated rape statute.
Because prosecutors did not believe they could prove the crime of aggravated rape beyond a reasonable doubt, Bernie said the only fair thing to do was to not charge Lemley.
Lemley's attorney, Carson Marcantel, said a weight has been lifted off the shoulders of Lemley, who has maintained his innocence. The attorney added that Lemley does not want to comment.
"He has been vindicated by this decision," Marcantel said.
"He's just looking forward to resuming his life. His faith has been tested. He has emerged stronger. Thankfully, his church has stood with him."
Marcantel said Lemley is still pastor of the church.
Lemley found himself accused of rape after he and his wife opened up their home to the woman and her father because the two were facing challenges, Marcantel explained.
"They were trying to be good Christians," he said.
The arrest warrant alleged Lemley had sex with the woman after her father told her to do so because the pastor's wife had been ill and bedridden, but Marcantel said Lemley denied having sex with the woman.
"The facts bore him out," he said.
The woman told investigators that she and Lemley had sex on several occasions, even though she did not want to, but she could not provide exact dates of the rapes, the warrant states.
"No evidence that that occurred," Marcantel said.
Authorities questioned Lemley in late 2013, and he denied having sex with the woman.
The woman's father was arrested in November 2013 on a variety of sex counts, including aggravated rape. Bernie said he pleaded guilty to cruelty to a juvenile, a charge that involved his daughter and was unrelated to Lemley's arrest. He served some jail time and remains on probation, the prosecutor said.
The father's name is being withheld to protect the identity of his daughter.
Bernie said the woman is doing well.

UK Opens Two-Game Road Swing at Georgia
The Kentucky football team will kickoff a two-game road trip to conclude Southeastern Conference play, traveling to face division foe Georgia on Saturday, with kickoff slated for Noon ET at Sanford Stadium.
Kentucky will be seeking to snap a three-game losing streak in its third road game of the season. UK has a road win at South Carolina and suffered a loss on Oct. 24 at Mississippi State in its two road tilts in 2015. The Wildcats will be seeking their fifth all-time win at Georgia and its first since 2009. UK will conclude its road and league schedule the following weekend, traveling to Vanderbilt.
The Wildcats are coming off a 52-21 loss to Tennessee last week, with the Vols coming from behind in the second quarter to erase an early UK lead. UK got a 77-yard fumble return for a touchdown from senior defensive tackle Cory Johnson to open the scoring in the first quarter, with Patrick Towles and Garrett Johnson connecting for another score and Towles scrambling in from one-yard out for his 10th career TD rush.

UK's offensive attack has seen Towles throw for 1,914 yards and nine TDs, with Johnson totaling 562 yards to lead the air attack. Dorian Baker has added three TD catches and a club-high 42 receptions.
Next Opportunity Approaching for Kentucky
It didn't take more than a few minutes for Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats to move from stewing over a loss to Tennessee on Saturday to focusing on the next opportunity awaiting them at Georgia.
Days later, that opportunity is at hand.
"We are looking forward to Georgia," Stoops said. "That is the beautiful thing is we have another great challenge going in and playing at Georgia, on the road, and a team that is probably upset just like us. The only way you can erase this feeling in your program is to get a victory, I am sure they feel the same way, just like we do to go out and play a very good game this week."
As Stoops referenced, the Wildcats (4-4, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) and Bulldogs (5-3, 3-3 SEC) enter Saturday's noon matchup in Athens, Ga., in similar positions. Both began the season on a high note, combining for a record of 7-1 in September. October, however, wasn't so kind. The two teams each went 1-3 and closed the month with blowout losses to SEC East Division rivals...Read More
Series vs. Georgia
Georgia leads the all-time series with Kentucky, 54-12-2, including a 27-4-2 record in games played in Athens, Ga. UK is seeking its first win at UGA since 2009 and just its fifth win overall, joining 1956, 1973 and 1977. The last time the two teams met in Athens, the Bulldogs defeated the Cats, 59-17. Georgia has won six consecutive meetings in the series since 2009 and have won eight of the last 10. Georgia won last year's meeting in Lexington, 63-31. The two teams played nine times from 1939-49, and after a six-year lull, have played annually since 1956. Biggest UK win: 33 (33-0) in 1977 in Athens. Biggest Georgia win: 45 (62-17) in 2004 in Lexington. Games decided by 7 points or less: Georgia leads 16-8-2
Last Meeting
Then-No. 17 Georgia posted a 63-31 win over Kentucky on Nov. 8, 2014 in Commonwealth Stadium on Senior Day. The Bulldogs opened with 21 points in the first quarter, before UK exploded for 24 points to cut the lead to 34-24 at halftime. UGA answered with the next 28 points - 21 in the third quarter - to post the win and improve to 7-2, 5-2 in the league. The loss dropped UK to 5-5, 2-5 in the SEC. Georgia's offense collected 559 yards of total offense in the win, including 254 yards in the air and 305 yards rushing. UK had 353 yards of offense, with 214 coming on the ground. Boom Williams rushed for 98 yards on just nine carries, with QB Patrick Towles carrying it 17 times for 60 yards and a touchdown. Braylon Heard rushed 14 times for 38 yards and a TD. Towles was 16-for-31 for 139 yards and a touchdown, going to WR Javess Blue. Demarco Robinson had five catches for 43 yards. Georgia's Nick Chubb rushed 13 times for 170 yards and a TD. Sony Michel had 16 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown. Hutson Mason threw for four TDs and 174 yards on 13-for-16 passes. Brice Ramsey had a TD pass in relief.
Scouting the Bulldogs
Georgia (5-3, 3-3 SEC) enters the game with UK coming off a 27-3 loss to No. 11/12 Florida in Jacksonville, Fla. The Bulldogs are coached by 15th year head coach Mark Richt, who has won 141 games during his time with UGA. The Bulldogs are averaging 29.4 points per game through their first eight games. UGA is averaging 197.2 rushing yards per game, 206.4 passing yards and 403.6 yards of total offense per game. Defensively, UGA is holding opponents to 321 yards and 20.4 points per game. Off to a blistering start to the season, UGA star running back Nick Chubb suffered an injury that thwarted his run at the Heisman Trophy. Chubb has 747 rushing yards on the year, and average of 124.5 yards per game, and seven TDs through six games. Sony Michel has picked up for Chubb, rushing it 102 times for 553 yards and four TDs. QBs Greyson Lambert, Faton Bauta and Brice Ramsey have combined to captain the UGA offense. Lambert has started seven games and Bauta started vs. Florida last week. Lambert is 100-for-156 with nine TDs and 1,276 yards. Bauta went 15-for-33 with 154 yards vs. the Gators. In the air, WR Malcom Mitchell is leading the way with 39 catches for 565 yards and four TDs. Michel has three TDs and 18 catches for 206 yards. Defensively, UGA is led by UAB transfer Jake Ganus at linebacker, with Ganus totaling 55 tackles and two interceptions. Leonard Floyd leads the line with 3.5 sacks, with Jordan Jenkins charting 8.5 tackles for a loss. QB Brice Ramsey punted six times vs. UF for a 43.2 yard average, including a 50 yarder and one dropped inside the 20. Collin Barber has punted 34 times for 40.6 yards. Marshall Morgan is 10-for-14 in field-goal attempts, with a long of 47 yards.

In winning the Japanese GP for a fourth time in five seasons, Vettel also set a personal best record of five consecutive victories after triumphing in Belgium, Italy, Singapore and Korea.
The 26-year-old German will, however, have to wait another fortnight for the race in India before taking the title as Alonso finished a distant fourth in his Ferrari, 45 seconds adrift.
It means Vettel now has a 90-point cushion over Alonso with only 100 up for grabs, leaving the Spaniard facing the inevitable.
Asked whether the title fight was still on, Alonso replied: "I don't think so. Even if Sebastian retired from all four remaining races, I would have to win all of them, so it's only a matter of time before he will be champion. We have different goals now.
"We will continue to try to do out best on Sundays, and when it is mathematically settled we will congratulate him."
Starting from eighth on the grid, it was apparent from the off Alonso would be unable to challenge Vettel, Red Bull teammate Mark Webber and Lotus' Romain Grosjean, who completed the podium.
"We weren't as quick as the Red Bulls or Grosjean, so fourth was the maximum we could achieve," added Alonso.

Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could, on drugs, sex, and international globe-trotting. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht, crashed a Gulfstream jet, and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids who waited for him at home, and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king and did his bidding, here, in his own inimitable words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called...
The Wolf of Wall Street
In the 1990s Jordan Belfort, former kingpin of the notorious investment firm Stratton Oakmont, became one of the most infamous names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of the canyons of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. Now, in this astounding and hilarious tell-all autobiography, Belfort narrates a story of greed, power, and excess no one could invent.
Stratton Oakmont turned microcap investing into a wickedly lucrative game as Belfort's hyped-up, coked-out brokers browbeat clients into stock buys that were guaranteed to earn obscene profits - for the house. But an insatiable appetite for debauchery, questionable tactics, and a fateful partnership with a breakout shoe designer named Steve Madden would land Belfort on both sides of the law and into a harrowing darkness all his own.
From the stormy relationship Belfort shared with his model-wife as they ran a madcap household that included two young children, a full-time staff of 22, a pair of bodyguards, and hidden cameras everywhere - even as the SEC and FBI zeroed in on them - to the unbridled hedonism of his office life, here is the extraordinary story of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices at 16 to making hundreds of millions. Until it all came crashing down.

"A cocky bad boy of finance recalls...[his] career as a master of his own universe....A hell of a read." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Didn't make it past second chapter."
Lost interest very quickly,writing style bored me.
not likely
ghost writer?
It never grabbed my attention. Seemed very self indulgant, lacking depth and character development but I didn't listen to much of it before realizing it wasn't a book I'm interested in.
I have recommended this book to many friends and family and even loaned the audio book to a few as well. I found it it utterly fantastic (if a little cliche at times) and have enjoyed it so much that it has been listened to in full five times in a month.
While I'm sure there are MANY other books out there of a similar nature, I myself haven't read any of them, and so I found this to be fresh and Jordan's way of writing did make it very easy to visualize the complete madness of his life in this time.
My favorite moment in the book without a doubt has to be the scene where he was shredding the furniture with what I can only describe as extreme prejudice looking for a crack rock. It was so strange to me to be somewhat involved in that thought process that it has stuck in as a very bold memory.
While I am aware that some people aren't as in love with this book as me, I would say that anyone who can listen to/read it should at the very least give it a go.
"An amazing life to read about."
It is at times hilarious, jaw dropping and ridiculously candid. As a short audiobook it is packed with escapism that is so much better for knowing that its a true story.
This book was very entertaining for those who enjoy true stories about the wild side of rags to riches as well as the excesses that go along with it.
"Waste of time"
This book is a mess. I thought it would be a book about wall street like Den of Thieves. Boy was I wrong! Its just a book about a coke snorting idiot and his personal problems.
"Wolf of Wall Street"
Entertaining, but not fulfilling.
Simple Joe
"The drug addict of wall street"
Saw the movie, but didn't read the book. Who the hell reads a book and listens to the audio version anyway?
Helicopter landing? Blue ball treatment from his wife? I'm not sure, because there are a few to choose from. Personally, I would say the story of ordering Martini's until either Belfort or the stock broker he worked for passed out.
Sometimes but not always.
Surprisingly little dirt and detail about the securities fraud. I wanted to hear more of the dirt and less details about Belforts family life. All of the details about doing drugs were great, but enough is enough already! I just think that part was a bit overdone.

The book reads like a story from Tony Soprano or your local mafia boss. It's got this wise guy feel to it that sort of explains some things about Jordan Belfort.

I like how the people in the book are given nicknames like the spitter and the drizzler. I also like how Belfort describes everything from his point of view, which is frequently distorted as hell due to his drug use and his self centered outlook on everything. It works because it's real. That's the main thing about this book that makes it worth reading, it's real. The people are real, the problems are real and Belfort is real.
"No doubt"
This was a flawless piece. The narrorator was great. As expected it was better then the movie. I would reccomend it to anyone.

Her theoretical work investigates the possibility to design and implement mechanisms that promote efficiency. At an empirical level, she examines how mechanisms perform and how their structure affects bidder incentives and firm survival. Her research contributions were highlighted in the NSF Director's blog in 2016.
