01. How has LJ changed your life?
In high school, when I first got my LJ (about 8 years ago) it brought me pain. Back then I was unaware of communities where you could talk about your interests and make online contacts and friends. My only friends on there were people I was "friends" with in school. I use the term "friends" very loosely, because there was this miserable boy I hung out with who made really hurtful anonymous comments in my journal. He said mean things like calling me a whore (ha! I remained a virgin all through high school, what was he talking about) and basically telling me I was worthless, noboby liked me, and to just kill myself. I eventually figured out it was him based on the typing style and realized he was just a miserly being who got his kicks off of making people feel bad about themselves. I didn't really use it for years though after that.
I enjoy now it though. Now that I can protect my entries, as I usually use my journal part to vent, not caring who reads it, just to write my feelings down. It's therapeutic. I enjoy the communities I belong to and have met some great people who have made positive impacts on my life. There are still some assholes out there, but I know now to ignore them and not get worked up, which was too much for my 15 year old mind.
02 do you do before bedtime
I usually play on the computer for a bit. Retreat upstairs. Some nights I talk on phone for hour to Kristin or Rose. I usually take a long bubble bath and read a book during, and usually read again for a bit before turning off the light and going to bed. I fall asleep with the tv on, it makes me feel safe.
03. What are you going to have for dinner tonight?
I think it is possible we are going to an Italian restaurant we have a gift card to. I like Italian and it is probably my favorite type of restaurant to go to. It must be authentic Italian, though. I've never been to Olive Garden and don't really feel bad about it.
04. What is the ONE place you want to go before you die if you had the money and the time?
England or the Middle East. England is far more appealing, so I definitely want to go there. But I would also like the see the Middle East. See, my husband has spent so much time there in the military, I would like to see it myself.
05. What scares you?
06. What do you do in your free time?
I have farrrr to much of it. Internet. TV. Knitting. Walking. I'm currently jobless, and it only takes so long to do my daily duties (cooking, cleaning, etc) and once I do that, I'm free.
07. If you could speak another language (meaning one you currently don't know), what would it be?
08. What personal belonging do you have with you everywhere you go
My wedding set. It is the one thing I can guarantee is ALWAYS there as I never take it out. I leave without my purse, I sometimes go braless, what else is left?
09. What was your favorite song or musical group when you were young?
I didn't really have one. When I was young I had alot of different musical tastes. I don't think I really had a favorite. I really liked silverchair though.
10. Are you a risk taker?
Not really.
11. you name someone over 65 that you find sexy?
I'm not sure. Not saying you cannot be sexy over 65, saying that right now I can't think of someone.
12. Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Here. In this house. Hopefully with a good job and one or two children. Hopefully my cats will still be alive.
13. you could be anyone for one day, who would you be?
The president of USA. So I could go and fix everything that's fucked up. Oh, that could take longer than a day!
14. If your friends, co-workers and family were to read your online journal, what would you be most embarrassed about them reading?
All the times I've bitched about them. Yes.
15. Would you rather be single & rich or married but poor?
Married and poor. What fun is it to have all that money but nobody to share it with? I mean, a big mansion is silly without sharing it with someone. Trips around the world wouldn't be as fun alone. Life is more fun when you have someone to share it with.
16. How many children do you want to have, if any
17. What's better: to give or to receive?
Well, who's going to say they don't like to receive? I think they're equal. I get pleasure out of giving because I like to see the happiness that comes as a result, but I also like the receive because I want happiness from getting something, too.
18. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
The one who treats me the best and seems the most genuine.
19. Would you have 100% safe sex with a stranger for £10,000,000?
Just sex? Yes. I could use that money. I wouldn't make a habit of it, but just once for that amount, yes. I could pay off my house, car, etc and still have plenty left over.
20. Would you be happy to live in captivity if a habitat were created for you that included all you need to thrive and all you had to do all day is lounge around being cute for your loving captors?
If I was adored, yes.

Psalm 23:4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (parched land) I will fear no evil. I have been through that valley-not alone thankfully; the Lord was with me and carried me through it. In 2002, after an emergency visit to Greenwich Hospital (Connecticut) and having surgery to remove a blockage in my intestine, a suture began to leak and I ended up on life support. Most of my organs failed. I had written in my journal months before during intense prayer, many scriptures including Psalm 91:2-4(NLT). This I declare of the Lord, He alone is my refuge, my place of safety, He is my God and I am trusting in Him. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from the fatal plague. He will shield you with his wings, He will shelter you with His feathers, His faithful promises are your armor and protection. The Lord was speaking to me clearly, "I will shield you with my wings, I will shelter you with my feathers." At the time I didn't understand what He meant. I discussed it with a good friend and we prayed together often. Later when I was fighting for every breath, my friend gave encouragement to my loved ones. It was when I regained consciousness that I understood the Lord's message to me. He kept His word and "shielded me with His wings and sheltered me with His feathers." We can't get from the parched land to green pastures without the Godman Jesus, because only he has the Living Water to give. We need the Living Water to get from parched land to green pastures. Death was only a shadow and it still is for all who belong to Christ.

Can The Government Protect You?
How can the government protect you when there are people with ideologies of hatred, who are willing to put explosives in their underwear, climb aboard a commercial jet and then blow themselves up? Unlike those who wage war against flesh and blood, followers of Christ know that we fight a spiritual battle-For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms (Eph. 6:12 NLT). Jesus taught us to love our enemies: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you (Mat. 5:44). You can't change the world unless the heart is changed and you can't change the heart until Jesus gets a hold of it. It's only Jesus who can transform the heart of man from that of hate, to a heart of love. Let us follow Jesus command and resist the forces of evil.

The employment numbers beat those of Berkeley, Rice, Stanford and the University of California at Los Angeles; the three-month employment rate of the Eccles School MBA also outperformed that of Brigham Young University.
Supply chain management is eighth in the nation.
"Having strong graduate programs is key to our success as a top research university", said Chancellor Beverly Davenport. To be eligible for the part-time ranking, a program had to be accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
The ranking factors in peer assessment score; average GMAT and GRE scores of part-time MBA students entering in fall 2016; their average years of work experience; their average undergraduate grade-point averages; and percentage of college's MBA program enrollment that is part-time.
"We hold our faculty, staff and programs to the highest standards to provide the most comprehensive and effective education for our students", said Joi Spencer, associate professor and associate dean of SOLES. "Our graduate students - and especially our doctoral students - help us attract stellar faculty". Together with Paul Niehaus, a fellow faculty member in the department of economics at UC San Diego, Muralidharan is also working to improve the design and delivery of anti-poverty programs. "We are very pleased to see those efforts being reflected in the increased ranking".
Based on the rankings, New Jersey is well-represented in a number of fields, including business, law, medicine and more.

He will be remembered as a champion and as one of the NFL's good guys for his 12 years of excellence, both on and off the field. Ware apparently ran into him at the Pro Bowl that year and joked about how Staley made him a viral sensation.
The complete rankings can be viewed through the U.S. News website.
"The rankings place a value on our degrees, are a great way to recruit students and show ASU's commitment to academic excellence", she said. It includes detailed statistical information on more than 1,200 business, law, education, engineering, and medicine graduate programs nationwide. The Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts ranked 20th overall, with the print-making program rated fifth.
For its 2018 Best Graduate Schools Rankings, released today, U.S. News analyzed almost 2,000 graduate and specialty programs in a wide range of disciplines. "We believe we did the right thing by immediately and proactively reporting the error and providing the correct data to U.S. News as soon as the error was discovered".
A list of Penn State's graduate school rankings, including health disciplines and science specialties ranked in previous years, is available on the U.S. News' website.
Rutgers did not rise high enough in the U.S. News ranking to overtake New Jersey's other law school, Seton Hall School of Law in Newark.

BOOSTCAP Ultracapacitor BCAP0010

BCAP0010 BOOSTCAP Ultracapacitors provide extended power availability, allowing critical information and functions to remain available during dips, sags, and outages in the main power source. In addition, it can relieve batteries of burst power functions, thereby reducing costs and maximizing space and energy efficiency.

The ultracapacitor features a cylindrical design and an electrostatic storage capability that can cycle hundreds of thousands of charges and discharges without performance degradation.

With a capacitance of 2600 farads at 2.5 volts, and in a cylindrical 60 x 172 mm package, Maxwell's BCAP0010 ultracapacitor is ideal for automotive subsystems, medical devices, UPS/backup power, and many other applications requiring a pulse of energy that cannot be efficiently provided by a battery or power supply alone.

The BCAP0010 works in tandem with batteries for applications that require both a constant low power discharge for continual function and a pulse power for peak loads. In these applications, the device relieves batteries of peak power functions resulting in an extension of battery life and a reduction of overall battery size and cost.

The BCAP0010 is also an ideal source of back-up power and pulse. It can provide extended power availability, allowing critical information and functions to remain available during dips, sags, and outages in a power supply or battery change. And, like all Maxwell ultracapacitors, the BCAP0010 is capable of accepting changes at the identical rate of discharge.

☈ Ultra Capacitors VS Car Battery ☈

And the sound you get depends on several issues. Additionally, I have found that if you count the number of capacitors inline with the signal, you will find that the less capacitors have the more the influence they have with the sound. I have only two caps in the signal path (this is excluding those in the power supplies). One is in the output of the CD/DVD player while the other capacitor is on in the tube amps. If you change either of these capacitors it will give you a different effect on the final sound. If you have many capacitors, changing one may not have a profound change in the sound.

However, I have modded many car stereos all of which use cheap electo types for signal passing and changing them all to film types will improve the sound greatly. I have experimented with scores of capacitors in my system and some capacitors will sound similar, but from top to bottom on the capacitor scale you will find that sound differences.

The new ultra capacitors series from DCN Illinois Capacitor now offers very high capacitance values up to 3,500 Farads, all this while maintaining small case sizes.

The new expanded DCN Series includes more values, now ranging in capacitance from 1F (Farad) to 3,500F, with voltage ratings from 2.7 to 5.5WVDC. With Operating temperature ranges from -40 to +60°C that give an extended life performance.
These super capacitors are an excellent replacement for batteries or as supplements to batteries. As you know, unlike ordinary batteries, capacitors do not degrade with each cycle. At 2.7 volts, DCN have a load life rated at an amazing 86,700 hours. With operating life rated at 10 years with 500,000 cycles. Applications for these super capacitors include: energy harvesting, battery pack alternatives, memory backup, battery/capacitor hybrids, UPS systems, emergency lighting, solar lighting, auto sound power boost and gives exellent good capacitors for audio systems.

DCN Series capacitors are packaged with various termination styles and case diameters, depending on values. The parts are also fully RoHS compliant. Like other IC capacitors, each DCN Series capacitor is 100% burn-in tested. Prices are very competative in todays market with $ 0.70 for 10 Farad at 2.7 Volt so not really on par with the old fashioned battery but considering the operating life it's getting very close. So you do the math.

Unlike ordinary capacitors, batteries store energy in a chemical reaction. And because of this the ions are actually inserted into the atomic structure of an electrode. If we take your ordinary capacitor or super capacitors that can be seen below for that matter, the ions simply "cling". This is an important thing and the key factor behind the success of storing and releasing electricity in capacitors because storing energy without chemical reactions allows ultra capacitors to charge up and discharge much, much faster than normal batteries.

And because the capacitors does not suffer from wear caused by chemical reactions like oxidizing like in lead batteries or ageing like in new lithium-ion batteries, means they also last a lot longer.

Normally if you would drain a car battery too much and try to start the car afterwards even when it's nearly empty it will cause more damage to the car battery. Eventualy because of this the battery will not take charge and charge back up to it's maximum again. However this is not true for ultra capacitors.

For example, if we take a capacitor the size of a small D-cell battery, it would have a capacitance of about 20 microfarads. But if we take a similarly sized ultracapacitor, it would have a capacitance of 300 Farads. What this means is at the same voltage, the ultracapacitor could in theory store up to 15 million times more energy.

However if we take your typical 20-microfarad capacitor it would be able to handle as much as 300 volts, while ultracapacitors would be rated at only about 2.7 volts. At a higher voltage, the electrolyte inside ultracapacitors starts to break down. So in reality an ultracapacitor have the ability to store about 1,500 times the energy of a similar sized capacitor. This is something you need to take into consideration in you're attempts at storing energy in a capaciator.

Ultracapacitors are very effective at accepting or delivering a sudden surge of energy, and it is this that makes them a good alternative for our regular 12v car battery.

With electric cars for example ultra capacitors provide the power needed for acceleration and give that sudden boost in energy needed, while a battery provides range and recharges the ultracapacitor between surges. They normally also go by the name "Boost Capacitors" or "Boostcap" simply because that's their normal usage in industry. The Maxwell product line have the name BOOSTCAP® ultracapacitors, and these supercapacitors are the ones you would normally find if you are searching for big ultra capacitors or super capacitors around the web.

While some electric vehicles are using ultra capacitors or boost capacitors for acceleration. The devices also appear in hundreds of other applications, from cell phone base stations to alarm clocks to audio systems.

Why not use capacitors instead of your 12 volt car battery!

If you like to use ultracapacitors instead of you're ordinary car battery they could provide power during stops (running the air conditioner, lights, radio etc.)." They would also provide power for the restart, and then be "recharged during the next interval of travel."

Building you're own DIY car battery replacement with ultracapacitors for your cars with supercapacitors for automotive applications is not that hard.

So where could I buy a +12 volt capacitor to replace the car battery?
Actually this is what you and most people would need to do. Get 6 ultracapacitors connected together (normally they have about 2.5 Volts each)

So 2.5 Volts x 6 = 15 Volts fully charged. You could do with only 5 capacitors giving you 12.5 Volts but it's not recommended, you need the extra volts to be there. Besides you're alternator will put out more than 12.5 volts when it's charging anyways. Most new cars charge anywhere between 14-15 volts, so having that extra super capacitor in your electrical system is not going to go to waste. Most cars have some electronics that drain you're battery like the car alarm. So if you leave you're car standing for a week a ultracapacitor might have drained to much and you will not be able to crank over the engine.

With 14-15 Volts and 6 of them in a bank you wont be having any problem starting you're car even if you leave it for 4-5 days. However any drain can be stopped with a simple solar panel to recharge the ultracapacitors, so if that is done you should always have them fully charged and ready to start you're car. And if you for some reason would find your supercapacitors drained charging them back up takes seconds and not hours / days like charging up your 12 volt lead car batteries.

Another interesting thing replacing you're car battery is the weight difference between a ultracapacitor pack and a battery. A normal lead acid car battery have a weight around 30 pounds. However installing ultracapacitors in it's place you will actually save around 25 pounds in weight.

What all this boils down to is you will save weight = Better gas milage
Super fast charging = Small drain on your alternator = Better gas milage
Never wears out = Never need to be replaced = More money for you.

To break down things a bit. The ultracapacitor will charge up very quick and not load the engine as much. They will also probably last the entire life of the car, that will save you maintinance and money. They will also prevent voltage drop when restarting the engine that could be causing aftermarket electronics to shut off like the stereo. Or if you have a big sound system or other equipment that use more than the avarage electricity in your car, super capacitors would prevent voltage drop and keep it working.

In reality it does not have to be a car battery that gets replaced with supercapacitors, it might as well be your, bike, mower, atv or any type of battery. It will work just the same.

What About Using Lithium Batteries Instead?

They only weigh 1.5Kg (3lbs), will stay charged for a year, survive 1000+ discharge cycles and can be fully charged in 1-2 hours. They cost around $300-500.

While it's true that the lithium battery does have some advantages over using supercapacitors. Like it can stay charged for a year, you also need to consider the life of the lithium battery (about 3-5 years max). And today the cost is about the same, today $300 will get you 6x 3000f farad super capacitors that can make you a very strong supercapacitor car battery replacement that in theory should last you over 200 years..

Here's a few things that are good to know. Porsche AG, Stuttgart was the first car maker in the world to offer a starter battery with lithium-ion technology. Weighing less than 13 lb or 6 kg, the new battery is more than 22 lb or 10 kg lighter than the conventional 60 Ah lead battery.

While the most used batteries today are rechargeable Li-ion, Li-Poly and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. Li-ion and LiPo batteries have a recommended per-cell safety zone between 3V (fully discharged) and 4.2V (fully charged), although they can normally discharge down to about 2.8V without any problems. Discharging below these levels may cause irreversible/irreparable damage.

Therefore, these batteries must have a built-in safety mechanisms, preventing over-discharging. Conversely, overcharging can also be very dangerous.

The Li-Po batteries have a lower number of recharging cycles than LiFePo4 (firstname.lastname@example.com rate, IEC Standard). The projected/estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is approximately 3 years from production.

The LiFePO4 batteries exhibit slightly different properties. The LiFePO4 is a kind of Li-Ion rechargeable battery intended for high power applications, such as EV cars , eBikes, electric bike, Power Tools and RC hobby.

The LiFePO4 batteries have more constant discharge voltage and are considered to offer better safety than other Lithium-based batteries.

Other advantages of the Lithium-based rechargeable batteries include the ability of a much faster recharge and higher discharge rates than other chemistries mentioned and usually higher number of recharge cycles (>firstname.lastname@example.com rate, IEC Standard) , meaning longer life when not fully discharged, but its energy density is lower than normal Li-Ion cell (Li-Co) LiFePO4 life expectancy is approximately 5-7 years.

The supercapacitors on the other hand can do 10 million times of charging/ discharging. The supercapacitor can be charged/discharged more than 20 times a day for 136 years of continuous usage. It is about 1000 - 2000 times of Li-Ion/Ni-MH/ Ni-Cd batteries. And to fully charge a supercapacitor takes seconds instead of hours for a lithium battery.

JOSEPHUS T. Y. NYEMA, SR., PETITIONER,v.STATE OF NEW JERSEY, RESPONDENT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Cooper, District Judge
The petitioner, Josephus T. Y. Nyema, Sr. ("Nyema"), seeks habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Because Nyema is challenging a state court conviction, this Court will treat the matter as a habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. For the reasons set forth below, the petition will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, as Nyema does not meet the "in custody" requirement under either 28 U.S.C. § 2254(a) or § 2241(c)(3).
Nyema is not currently confined at a state correctional facility. Nyema, when he filed this habeas petition, admittedly was no longer in the custody of the State of New Jersey pursuant to the New Jersey state court conviction that he challenges here.
Nyema filed this petition on or about December 30, 2008. He challenges a 2005 judgment of conviction purportedly issued by New Jersey Superior Court, Mercer County. On August 26, 2005, Nyema was sentenced to a term of probation for three years. (Petition at ¶¶ 1-5.)
Nyema states that he appealed his conviction to the New Jersey Appellate Division, which affirmed his conviction on November 16, 2007. The New Jersey Supreme Court denied certification on February 28, 2008. He then filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on October 6, 2008. (Petition at ¶¶ 9, 12.)
At the time he submitted this petition for filing, on December 30, 2008, Nyema's three-year probation term had expired. Consequently, Nyema is no longer in the custody of the State of New Jersey pursuant to a judgment of conviction.
Section 2243 provides in relevant part: A court, justice or judge entertaining an application for a writ of habeas corpus shall forthwith award the writ or issue an order directing the respondent to show cause why the writ should not be granted, unless it appears from the application that the applicant or person detained is not entitled thereto.
Nyema brings his habeas petition as a pro se litigant. A pro se pleading is held to less stringent standards than more formal pleadings drafted by lawyers. Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106 (1976); Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972). A pro se habeas petition and any supporting submissions must be construed liberally and with a measure of tolerance. See Royce v. Hahn, 151 F.3d 116, 118 (3d Cir. 1998); Lewis v. Att'y Gen., 878 F.2d 714, 721-22 (3d Cir. 1989). Nevertheless, a federal district court can dismiss a habeas petition if it appears from the face of the application that the petitioner is not entitled to relief. See Lonchar v. Thomas, 517 U.S. 314, 320 (1996); Siers v. Ryan, 773 F.2d 37, 45 (3d Cir. 1985).
Because Nyema is challenging a state court conviction, his action for habeas relief is properly considered under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Section 2254 provides:
(a) The Supreme Court, a Justice thereof, a circuit judge, or a district court shall entertain an application for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of a person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a state court only on the ground that he is in custody in violation of the Constitution or laws or treaties of the United States.
28 U.S.C. § 2254(a) (emphasis added). While the "in custody" requirement is liberally construed for purposes of habeas corpus, a petitioner must be in custody under the conviction he is attacking when the petition is filed, in order for this Court to ...

And after I gave blood, I passed out. In the middle of Toronto's Manulife Centre. And I was unconcious for several minutes. And when I came to, I was sweating and my lips were blue and Nathan was terrified.
This kind of thing happens sometimes. Not to me, but to other people. In this case, it was entirely my own fault. I'm a regular blood donor, but I'm also a bit of a doofus, and instead of following the proper guidelines and eating a hearty breakfast and drinking plenty of water before hand, I was very cavilier about the process and didn't remember to eat at all. So I have no one to blame for the whole "oh, I'm unconscious" thing but myself.
Why blog about it? Well, because it was interesting. Having never experienced a true vasovagal response, the whole thing was facinating. (I was also lucky enough to have had the presence of mind to sit down, which meant I didn't smash face-first into the marble floor, which would have yielded a different -- and not at all pleasant -- experience entirely.
As it was, I was seated, people were around to take care of me, and once it passed, I felt better. I guess that's why I feel able to appreciate how surreal and strange it is to lose consciousness.
So...what's it's like? I've been thinking about that ever since it happened, trying to come up with a good way to describe it. I can't.
You just... go. You're just gone.
Wikipedia (everyone's favourite source, I know) says that what people experience just before passing out in this way is often termed an "almost undescribable weak and tired feeling resulting from a lack of oxygen to the brain due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. Tabor's describes this as the 'feeling of impending death'...."
The feeling of impending death. I'm not sure what to make of such a description, because, how could anyone know, really, what it's like to die? If you come back, it doesn't count. But if by chance the description is valid, I'd say that we, as humans, are pretty lucky.
Maybe to go is to go gently. And maybe it's not bad at all.

Pilsen Theatre Attracts Foreign Audience
The Pilsen J.K Tyl Theatre ranks among the largest theatres in the Czech Republic. The theatre features four ensembles and it performs in two architectonically interesting buildings. Each of the buildings offers different space and therefore also different experience. The spacious building of the Great Theatre is one of the most beautiful buildings in the historical city centre. Since 2014 Pilsen can also boast about the building of the New Theatre which is one of the most modern theatres in Europe. This season the J.K.Tyl Theatre plans to introduce 24 premiere performances and one spectacular open air opera event. In 2017 the opera gala performance will introduce the most famous opera arias composed by Verdi together with Carmina Burana by Orff in its scenic staging. The event is named Night with Opera and it will take place on June, 23rd in the Lochotin Amphitheatre.
The theatre repertoire offers a number of interesting performances and titles. Foreign theatre-goers mostly prefer various ballet performances. Among the classical titles there is Swan Lake or Romeo a Juliet, the ballet performance of Spartacus is very popular too. In March the theatre will introduce a premiere ballet performance of Oliver Twist prepared by the dancer and choreograph Richard Sevcik who chose the music by Rachel Portman, a famous British movie music composer (e.g. the movie music in Chocolate, The Cider House Rules, etc.). The dance musical Edith – Vrabčák z předměstí starts its unbelievable 16th season in the repertoire of the theatre. The musical tells the life story of Edith Piaf and it combines modern dance with live performances of chansons. The principle is shared by another successful dance musical Freddie – The King of Queen. Also the musical performance of famous Cats can be highly recommended to visitors of the theatre.
Opera fans will find their new experience too. The Great Theatre will introduce the performance of Evzen Onegin by Cajkovskij, Macbeth by Verdi and the most famous Czech operas: Sold Bride and Rusalka. In the New Theatre the visitors can see poetic performance of Madam Butterfly by Puccini which fully uses modern features offered by the high-tech equipment of the new building. All opera performances are performed in original language, upon agreement in advance some selected performances can be completed by German subtitles. For more information about individual performances, go to the newly provided German and English websites of www.djkt.eu.

Forever Mastadon ~ Episode 137
…That's enough to piss off the Pope," this newly minted fugitive from the CPD adds a pinch of pontiff impropriety to his normally dry humor…
As is his usual, Martin has been a quiet observer throughout the latest episode of that popular television show, "What's My Line?", with guest panelists, A. Gent Dan, Pen T. Tuke and A. Jacks Bunnion and narrated by your congenial host Carrie Conway.
"Thank you all for asking my opinion," Martin acts as if he is put off, when in fact he has been composing a countering position to Libby all along. They had been figuring that he would oppose and debate the plan.
"So what do you think Martin, could this throw Forever Mastadon off the mark or at least keep us safe until Libby drops the real bombshell?"
"What a damn double whammy that's going to be," Ace concludes. "Not only is his idea not dead……..but neither is he!'
"That's enough to piss off the Pope," this newly minted fugitive from the CPD adds a pinch of pontiff impropriety to his normally dry humor.
Expecting a big push-back, the others await Martin's reaction.
"I'll do it." There is a collective sigh. "Both Will and me knew that there would be naysayer factions inside and outside of the scientific community, so we went about crafting a counterpoint expository that would represent the negative. We can fire it off early if you want."
"We want you to present it in a way that supports the evolution crowd, not an argument against something nobody has heard yet. You Martin represent the closest Libby protégé and by publicly supporting carbon dating of material that is millions of years old, you will demonstrate a clean break," Constance lays down her vision.
"And don't worry about your reputation. We are going to make you the cheese in the mousetrap. The mousetrap is Argonne and Daniels will join you as Mr. Cheddar."
"If we stay there more than 24 hours, Penty will find me," James/Daniels explains. "For some reason, it takes him a full day before he can locate me."
"Don't you get tired of moving around all the time…..and how do you sleep?" Ace is sympathetic to being a man on the run.
"I can stay in one spot Ace, in places that are nondescript, like this is not one of those places, so I must keep moving," the government man's plight comes with the job. "And I sleep with eyes wide shut."

Buffalo Bills hire Carolina Panthers DC Sean McDermott as head coach
The Buffalo Bills have made the decision that they have been expected to make for their new head coach. They hired Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott via ESPN's Dan Graziano.
Reports came out yesterday that the Bills were had pretty much settled on him for the job. Graziano reported earlier today that Mcdermott was meeting with the team to discuss assistant coaches and contract terms.
The Buffalo Bills fired head coach Rex Ryan before the final game of this season. They finished 9-7 the year before Ryan arrived, and he amassed a 15-17 record as head coach. Offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn led the team in Week 17.
McDermott began his professional career as a scout with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1998 and was with them for 12 years, serving various roles including defensive coordinator in 2009 and 2010.
He became the Panthers defensive coordinator in 2011, and helped build one of the strongest defenses in the league that helped them to a berth in the 2016 Super Bowl.

After spending most of the the week outside the public eye, the PM will surface in Kelowna later this evening, where he will make an appearance at a party-organized barbecue at a local winery.
According to the advisory, reporters are welcome to show up to bear witness to the remarks that he will deliver to what will almost certainly be an overwhelmingly friendly audience of card-carrying Conservatives.
The assembled party loyalists may not think much of the line of questioning that those reporters will likely follow during the subsequent media availability, however.
After all, at some point today, the PM is expected to ask the governor general to prorogue the current session Parliament, which was -- and, as of this precise moment, is -- scheduled to return to regular House business next week, but will instead be put on hold until mid-October, which will almost certainly prompt queries on just why the PM is reluctant to get back to work as scheduled.
He has had the entire summer to work on a Speech from the Throne, after all.
Undaunted by the imminent enforced parliamentary hiatus, the New Democrats have already filed notice of a prorogation-related opposition motion, which appears on the Notice Paper for Monday's soon-to-be-cancelled sitting of the House:
September 12, 2013 -- Mr. Scott (Toronto--Danforth) -- That this House reaffirm its expressed will in support of the motion moved by Jack Layton on March 17, 2010 that, in the opinion of the House, the Prime Minister shall not advise the Governor General to prorogue any session of any Parliament for longer than seven calendar days without a specific resolution of this House of Commons to support such a prorogation.
Although that motion will, of course, be mooted by prorogation, there's no reason why the New Democrats couldn't bring it back when the House eventually resumes next month.
Elsewhere on the media circuit:
- ACOA Minister Rob Moore makes his way to the Miramichi Boating and Yacht Club, where he'll join local MP Tilly O'Neill Gordon to share the details of new investments earmarked for "community infrastructure," while Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney, delivers similarly glad tidings in his home riding of Saint-Lazare-de-Bellechasse.
- In Toronto, Transport Minister Lisa Raitt teams up with Canada Post CEO Deepak Chopra, former Toronto Maple Leafs captain Darryl Sittler and unnamed"representatives of the hockey community" to unveil a new series of stamps that "celebrate Canada's game."
- Also out and about in the Greater Toronto Area today: Minister of State for Sport Bal Gosal attends KidsCAN School Day at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, while his junior cabinet colleague Candice Bergen joins the festivities surrounding the official opening of a new affordable housing project in Richmond Hill.
- Moving west, Labour Minister Kellie Leitch talks pension reform, foreign workers and mental health in the workplace when she meets with her provincial and territorial colleagues at the very same Saskatoon hotel that hosted the New Democrat caucus earlier this week.
- In Alberta, Health Minister Rona Ambrose drops by the Kaye Edmonton Clinic for am "important announcement" on drug shortages, while Employment and Social Development Minister Jason Kenney does the honours at the opening of a new exhibit on WWII internment camps in Banff National Park, and Western Economic Diversification Minister Michelle Rempel reveals new support for "scientific innovation and creative collaboration" with the Calgary-based Beakerhead Creative Society.
- Minister of State for Tourism Maxime Bernier meets with his provincial and territorial counterparts in Whitehorse.
Finally, newly independent MP Maria Mourani is expected to take questions on her expulsion from the Bloc Quebecois caucus at her Montreal constituency office later this morning.

Johnny Tremain Essay
Johnny Tremain is a Dynamic character. In the beginning of the book he never would think before he talked for example when he offered to fix Mr. Hancock cup and Mr. Lapham thought he shouldn't have done it. During the first battles of the war Johnny sneaks past British soldiers by saying things in a mature way that makes sense whereas in the early parts of the book he would have been stopped and told to go away or maybe even tortured for information of killed. Rab helped him much with maturing and thinking before he does things.
Mr. Lapham's is a static character. During the book he doesn't change, during the entire story he is a very religious man and thinks god is a part of everything. For example when Johnny broke the Sabbath he didn't punish him he just said that god punished him enough by making him hurt his hand. Another reason Mr. Lapham is a static is because he always hsas high morals and reads bible copies a lot such as when Johnny is very prideful and says he can create the cup Mr. Lapham says " 'And I Will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as, iron and your earth as brass.' Proverbs sixteen, eighteenth" (Forbes 13)

This lemon cake from the Barefoot Contessa herself is a classic, old-fashioned pound cake. It's delightfully tingly with lemon flavor and drizzled with sweet-tart lemon glaze. Serve it with lemon curd and fresh raspberries.
A photograph of this lemon cake in The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook prompted dozens of people to request the recipe. Here it is! This is such a versatile cake. I like to serve it with lemon curd and fresh raspberries, but a slice with a cup of tea in the afternoon is also fine just with me. Originally published May 15, 2001.–Ina Garten
LC How Many Lemons Is That? Note
Is it just us or is it rather maddening to stand there in the grocery store looking at a recipe that calls for a certain amount of fresh lemon juice but gives nary a clue as to how many lemons that means? Part of the problem is that the yield of any lemon varies immensely given a particular fruit's size and freshness. A conservative guesstimate? Count on 2 to 3 tablespoons juice per lemon. If you end up with an extra lemon, well, better than the alternative. We're waiting for an iPhone app that can guesstimate a particular lemon's yield.
Ina Garten's Lemon Cake Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes two 8-inch loaves
- For the cake
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup grated lemon zest (6 to 8 large lemons)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (either low-fat or full-fat), at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the glaze
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Make the cake
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pans.
- 2. Cream the butter and 2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, for about 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, one at a time, and the lemon zest.
- 3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
- 4. Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and makes a syrup. When the cakes are done, let them cool for 10 minutes, then invert them onto a rack set over a tray. Turn the cakes right-side up and spoon the lemon syrup generously over the mounded tops, allowing the syrup to dribble down the sides. Let the cakes sit to cool completely.
- Make the glaze
- 5. Combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over the top of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.

Toril Moi – A New Genealogy of Modernism: Idealism/Realism/Symbolism
4 March 2009 – (HARC) – In this lecture, which is based on her most recent work in progress, Professor Toril Moi will try to work out a theoretical framework for thinking about historical change in literature based on Wittgenstein and Kuhn. She will ask whether the opposition between modernism and realism is a generalization of the opposition between symbolism and naturalism in France in the 1880s and the 1890s. And why is symbolism often considered the beginning of modernism, when so much of it appears to be completely consonant with idealism?

This week on Feminist Magazine with hosts Lynn Harris Ballen & Karina Elias :
New numbers report a 55% rise in the number of homeless women in Los Angeles in the last three years. And that's accompanied by a surge in physical and verbal abuse, as well as increasing sexual assault. Homeless women are particularly vulnerable to attacks on the streets, and many are survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.
We hear from Brooke Lykins, Chief Development Officer of L.A.'s Downtown Women's Center, along with DWC advocate Pamela Walls, about their programs and the life-changing work that DWC does. With an update about the Los Angeles City Council's Comprehensive Homeless Strategy, and the struggle to fund it. Plus how a new city Strategic Plan addresses the unique needs of women, calling for more supportive services and housing for women.

According to VPI's price sheet info on their website "THE JMW-10.5i TONEARM HAS BEEN RENAMED THE CLASSIC 3 TONEARM". The 10.5i is included on the Classic 2 and Classic 3 tables, I believe. The Classic 1 has it's own arm (called "The Classic Tonearm"). It lacks the VTA tower of the 10.5i. Whether or not the 10.5i and the Classic tonearm have the same specs is something I can't answer.
VPI Classic original vs newer tonearms
I recently got the original (square corner) version of the VPI Classic 1 turntable. I understand the newer rounded corner model has a few changes that they have made--a new platter, an aluminum heatsink for the motor, and a slightly longer (6 mm) tonearm. I am working on ordering the Mint LP tractor from Yip, and he is not clear on the model tonearm I have. The best I can tell is that I have the JMW Memorial 10.5i SE. Is this correct? Isn't the latest tonearm called the Classic SE Tonearm now? I would call VPI but they are closed til May 3. Thanks to you Classic owners who can help!

Welcome to Fertilisers Online!
Most of the more commonly cultivated Australian plants occur naturally in nutrient deficient soils, often particularly low in phosphorus. This has led to the misconception that fertilizers should not be applied to them. However, to obtain optimum growth, all plants require the basic elements nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in balanced proportions. The relatively high level of phosphorus in standard all purpose fertilisers can be dangerous to phosphorus-sensitive plants. This is particularly true of many members of the Protea family such as Banksia, Grevillea, Telopea and Hakea.
Pesticides help protect plants from diseases, sap sucking insects, scale, snails and slugs, ants and termites. Native plants are not different from other plants in terms of pesticide application. However, phosphorus containing fungicides should be avoided. For those customers who concern about welfare or do not want to use chemicals we suggest various traps

We will meet you outside of the San Jose Airport and then make our way to the Arenas del Mar. The drive is not bad at all. The new highway makes for a smooth straight drive to the coast at just around two hours. Our final destination will be the Arenas del Mar Resort located in the Manuel Antonio area one of the finest beaches in all of Costa Rica. (Meals: None)
|Manuel Antonio
Day 2 ----- Tour Park & Spice Tour (Arenas del Mar)
Today you will be on the tour of the park where you will get upclose with monkeys (if you haven't already at the hotel) and then get a chance to enjoy some of the nicest beaches Costa Rica has to offer. When it comes to a family vacation I think Manuel Antonio is a great spot and walking through the park with your guide is going to make it a very interesting stop for all. After the park and some beach time you will then go on your Spice Tour. You will be amazed by this tour as I see you have read up on it. They really do an excellent job. (Meals: Breakfast)
Day 3 ---- Relax at the beach and night hike (Arenas del Mar)
Today you will get some time to enjoy the ocean some more. There are a number of things to do in the area if you are looking for more to do but the idea might be just to relax if you want and spend some time at the pool or in the sand exploring the local beaches. You will have your guide who is full of fun things to do in the area so if relaxing is not your thing we promise to keep you busy. (Meals: Breakfast)
Day 4 ------------ Drive to Monteverde (El Establo)
Today we will take off in the morning and make our way to the Monteerde Cloud-forest. The cloud-forest is a special place and you will see different vegetation than you saw at the rainforest at Manuel Antonio. The drive will be up the coastal highway and then you will be on some dirt road for a little bit. This will be a travel day but we plan to make some stops along the way to keep it interesting just at local places or anytime you need to stretch the legs. (Meals: Breakfast)
Day 5 ------ Tour Reserve & Zipline Selvatura (Tabacon)
|Arenal Volcano
Touring the Monteverde Reserve is one of my favorite places to hike. The weather is absolutley perfect for hiking and the vegetation is out of control. If you stand still for around 30 seconds chances are a plant will grow on your shoulder. With you guide it is very educational and interesting. Along with education today we plan on adding a little adrenaline as we take on the adventures at Selvatura. It will be hard for a plant to grow on your shoulder when you are zipping through the cloud-forest on the cables. After this adventure we will make the drive to the Arenal Volcano and your final destination will be Tabacon. If you are the least bit sore from ziplining then your treatment will be the hotsprings. But don't think that the hotsprings is better than the slide. The slide at Tabacon is simply what makes Costa Rica, Costa Rica (I might have exagerated a bit but you get the picture). (Meals: Breakfast)
Day 6 ----- Rafting & Eco-center Danaus (Tabacon)
Now it is time to take on the rapids and get soaked. Today's adventure will have everyone paddling with a chance to be on what the kids will think is a wild river but its just enough to get everyone wet. The kids will love it and even when you are not in the rapids you will still see how much fun there is to have. After the rapids we will make our way to a local little reserve called Danaus. This is a great spot to hopefully see some more wildlife upclose. This is a small locally owned spot that we enjoy supporting and the kids really enjoy it and get a chance to get some great pictures with colorful butterflies and maybe even more. (Meals: Breakfast & Lunch)
Day 7 ---- La Fortuna Waterfall & Organic Farm (Tabacon)
|La Fortuna Falls
Today you will visit La Fortuna Falls. Looking at the itinerary there was no waterfall so we decided that why not put in one of the most beautiful waterfalls in all of the country. The La Fortuna Falls is a nice little hike but nothing too extreme where you will hike down stairs and then visit one of the most refreshing waterfalls with an amazing swimhole. The hike is beautiful surrounded by jungle--a definite photo op. After the waterfall we have included an organic farm. The farmer's name is Don Juan and it is a really neat tour for kids as he is great with little ones and makes it a little hands-on experience. At the same farm you will enjoy lunch which happens to be one of the best Costa Rican style lunches you can imagine (using all foods from the farm). (Meals: Breakfast & Lunch)
Day 8 ---- Drive to San Jose and visit Britt Coffee Tour (Grano de Oro)
Today we will make our way back to the Central Valley and our final destination will be the Grano de Oro Hotel. We plan on stopping at the Britt Coffee Tour. This is a tour is great for kids because it is in a local coffee plantation but done sort of like a skit (like a Disney skit and play with actors). The kids enjoy it, it is educational, and a nice gift shop. After the tour we will head to the Grano de Oro where you can enjoy one of the best meals of the trip. (Meals: Breakfast)
Day 9 ----------- Fly Home!
Today we will transfer you to the airport and have you there around 2 hours before your flight leaves, which is plenty of time.
Price: $8,874/total for four people(Based on 1 room)
|Plenty of Samples at Britt
Includes: All private transportation with bilingual guide, all meals listed, all loding listed, all tours and adventures listed.

There is no such thing as a lost soul – no matter how dark one has fallen, one can always rise.
Notwithstanding how good one is, we can always become ever better.
Furthermore a person who is good must recognize that as the definition of good is infinite ( for there are infinite levels) we must constantly be prepared.
We see this paradigm in the structure of the Beis Hamikdosh which was on a (small mountain) hence one needed to go up to it – then there was a platform, and to go into the building there were 12 steps, then it was level; and to get to the next level there were 15, then it was level, and to get to the next level was 12 steps. This represents that in the infinite journey of holiness there are infinite levels – and one must feel that the level I am currently on is lacking.
This in fact is destiny.
The goal of growth is not that we incrementally ( in the same playing field) advance, but continuous radical transformation.
This culminates in the union between the infinite God and man's soul, which we access by simulating our Mesiras Nefesh, desire for Divine unity- hence a twofold dimension is unveiled, firstly no matter the darkness we can always add light, and no matter the light we can always infinitely increase.
Every Jew who is connected to God and receives Divine communication becomes the level of the Cohen Gadol in the Holy of Holies.
The lesson of the above in the time of the Omer is, we must increase in our love.
In fact these are the two dimensions: to namely a. increase love and b. to always super-increase.
We need to create a habit ( perpetual practice) of respect – each person must undertake to be an ambassador of love and respect and in turn cause that those they influence should likewise be.
We must create Farbrengens – gatherings in which to discuss this.

The basics:
- If you have been stung, remove the stinger. Don't squeeze it; this will release more venom.
- Clean the area. Hydrogen peroxide is the best antiseptic for cleansing bites.
- Elevation – If you are bitten or stung in the arm or leg, elevate the extremity above heart to reduce swelling.
- Apply cold water and/or ice to the bite or sting to relieve swelling.
- Mosquito bites only – Squeeze and release repeatedly to disperse the toxin.
- Drink well – Dehydration may magnify bite reactions, so staying well hydrated before and during outdoor activity is best.
- Dried basil – To relieve the itching and swelling of spider bites, rub a pinch of basil into the wound until it resembles fine sand.
- Turmeric and olive oil – Make a paste of these to relieve the pain, swelling, and redness of spider bites. Apply directly to the wound to draw out poison. This remedy can be used two to three times in a seven-day period.
- Aspirin – Soak an aspirin tablet in a bit of distilled water to form a paste. Apply to a spider bite to alleviate pain and itching.
- Tea tree oil – Apply directly to the wound. It numbs and sterilizes instantly and has been shown to work on bee stings, spider bites, fleabites, and mite bites.
- Crush plantain leaves, extracting the juice. Apply the juice and leaves to the wound.
- Apply toothpaste (not gel) to the wound. This will draw out the venom.
- Make a paste of baking soda and water (three parts soda to one part water) and apply to the wound. This will draw out poison.
- Apply a slice of raw onion on a bite to discourage infection and draw out poison.
- Pack insect bites with table sugar to prevent scarring.
- Apply lavender oil to bites to reduce swelling and itching.
- Apis mallifica – This homeopathic remedy reduces inflammation, pain, burning and stinging.
- Cantharis – This homeopathic remedy is good for wasp and bee stings.
- Uritca urens relieves itching and burning
- Homemade insect bite lotion – Combine one teaspoon lavender oil and one tablespoon olive oil. Apply to bites, but avoid using around eyes.
- Homemade poultice – Combine one tablespoon Echinacea tincture, one tablespoon distilled water, and 1/8 teaspoon lavender essential oil. Add mixture slowly to one tablespoon of bentonite clay. Apply to affected area. Store the poultice in a container with tight lid; if it dries out, add a little more distilled water to make it moist enough to stick to skin.
- Break two or three leaves of jewelweed and apply juice to the injured area. Works well on ant bites.
- Mix one teaspoon yellowdock leaf tincture with two teaspoons baking soda to make a paste. Apply to bites to neutralize poison; repeat as needed.
- Bite Prevention:
- Essential oils – Eucalyptus, citronella, catnip, and basil all repel insects. Many use a combination of eucalyptus and citronella effectively.
- Yarrow and tansy-infused oil – If you know how to make herb-infused oils, give these a try. (Only use externally). Learn to make infused oils here.
- Location – Stay in the breeze. Mosquitoes only fly eight miles per hour; it doesn't take much to waft them away. Choose sunny location. Mosquitoes dehydrate easily, so they stay in shaded and low areas that are humid.
- Clothing – Wear loose fitting clothes to keep mosquitoes from getting through to your skin. Earth tones are best, as they will disguise you in wooded areas – green is best, with brown a close second. White masks your silhouette in the open. Blue is the worst; mosquitoes mistake it for a flowering plant. Red will also draw their interest as well as the interest of other insects. Air out outdoor clothing so it doesn't retain attractive odors.
- Movement – Go slowly and remain calm. The more you sweat, breathe, and move, the more mosquitoes will be attracted.
- Diet – Eat raw garlic. The essence leaches from pores, masking normal body odors. Eat and drink things indigenous to your area. You will smell like you belong. Avoid stimulants and sugar. They increase your metabolism, making you a much more inviting meal to feast on.
- Oil the skin – Mosquitoes do not like oil on their wings, so they will avoid you. Use aromatic oils like cedar, crushed orange peel, onion, or garlic. Give more attention to the warmest, leanest parts of your body, like your neck, arms, armpits, and ears – wherever blood vessels are close to the surface.
- Time – Choose to be out and about at midday or after dark. Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Choose a cool day rather than a hot one, a sunny day over a cloudy one, and a day with low humidity over high humidity.
- When camping – Welcome dragonflies. They can consume their weight in half an hour and will fly miles for a meal. They can spot mosquitoes fifty feet away. Build a smudge fire to create a cool, dense, low-hanging smoke. When smoke hangs on the air, mosquitoes don't hang around.
- Brush mosquitoes off – don't slap. Mosquitoes take several seconds after landing to bite. A continuous, sweeping motion will keep them from snacking, at least temporarily.

Bosch and NVIDIA Team Up for Xavier-Based Self-Driving Systems for Mass Market Cars
Bosch and NVIDIA on Thursday announced plans to co-develop self-driving systems for mass-market vehicles. The solutions will use NVIDIA's next-generation codenamed Xavier SoC as well as the company's AI-related IP. Meanwhile, Bosch will offer its expertise in car electronics as well as auto navigation.
Typically, automakers mention self-driving cars in the context of premium and commercial vehicles, but it is pretty obvious that, given the opportunity, self-driving is a technology that will be a part of the vast majority of cars available in the next decade and onwards. Bosch and NVIDIA are working on an autopilot platform for mass-market vehicles that will not cost as much as people think, and will be able to be widespread. To build the systems, the two companies will use NVIDIA's upcoming Drive PX platform based on the Xavier system-on-chip, which is a next-gen Tegra processor set to be mass-produced sometimes in 2018 or 2019.
Bosch and NVIDIA did not disclose too many details about their upcoming self-driving systems, but indicated that they are talking about the Level 4 autonomous capabilities in which a car can drive on its own without any human intervention. To enable Level 4 autonomous capabilities, NVIDIA will offer its Xavier SoC featuring eight general-purpose in-house-designed custom ARMv8-A cores, a GPU based on the Volta architecture with 512 stream processors, hardware-based encoders/decoders for video streams with up to 7680×4320 resolution, and various I/O capabilities.
From performance point of view, Xavier is now expected to hit 30 Deep Learning Tera-Ops (DL TOPS) (a metric for measuring 8-bit integer operations), which is 50% higher when compared to NVIDIA's Drive PX 2, the platform currently used by various automakers to build their autopilot systems (e.g., Tesla Motors uses the Drive PX 2 for various vehicles). NVIDIA's goal is to deliver this at 30 W, for an efficiency ratio of 1 DL TOPS-per-watt. This is a rather low level of power consumption given the fact that the chip is expected to be produced using TSMC's 16 nm FinFET+ process technology, the same that is used to make the Tegra (Parker) SoC of the Drive PX 2.
