In my humble opinion, one of the funniest live shows I've seen thus far. And it's their first time back together since the 80s, so why not write about it.
Anyhow, the show started maybe 15-20 minutes late, I don't know why but it. The opener was Shelby Chong, who mostly talked about how she met Cheech and Chong, and told the story about how Chong was arrested. Then she went on to talk about how pot helps when you're PMSing, and then she let the whole audience yell "Bitches!" as loud as we could. It was the opener, and was good, but no where near the greatness that would follow.
Cheech would take the stage. The show opened with him and Chong recreating the beginning of Up In Smoke. They didn't use any props throughout the show, so the giant joint, or any joint was pantomimed. And they added some new jokes to the opening so it wasn't entirely the same as what we've seen before, but it was hilarious none the less. In between sketches Chong would often come out and do a little stand up while Cheech got ready for the next scene. They brought back some old sketches and bring some new ones, Dave wasn't there (literally, they didn't bring it back) but they did make a dope deal.
And at the end when all was said and done they did a sing-along to the Up In Smoke theme, which just brought a smile to my face. It was a great way to end the night.
In the end it was a great night, my cheeks were sore by the end (did I already say that?) If you can catch them in tour I advise you to do so. Also, might I add that Shelby Chong hinted that they were thinking about doing another movie.

Vigil was an artwork conceived by Alex Hartley for the Folkestone Triennial 2014. The theme for this Triennial was "Lookout".
Hartley's encampment was attached to the outside of the 13th floor of the iconic Grand Burstin Hotel.
A single occupant inhabited the ledges for the nine weeks of the exhibition, carrying out a vigil. Watching over the panoramic view of the town, harbour, the white cliffs and the sea and sky stretching from Dover to Dungeness, across the channel to France.
An hourly log was recorded of everything visible, including the weather, the state of the sea and tide, a tally of the number of people and their activities. Observations were taken, both notable and mundane.
Built from climber's portaledges - (small lightweight platforms that climbers use on multi-day expeditions on the world's big-wall climbs) – the artwork references hermit's retreats and climber's encampments as well as sites and camps of protest. The work seeks to incorporate the built environment within the wider landscape, turning its host building into a sheer cliff and Vigil itself into a parasitic structure, an eyrie for contemplation and observation.
13 volunteers separately helped carry out the lone vigil, 127ft above sea level. 65 days and nights of knowing the land and sea, an island removed from time. Watching tide and in weather.

Film Screening: BAMAKO
Shown in conjunction with Studio Malick
Abderrahmane Sissako wrote and directed this offbeat, satiric comedy which imagines how the powers that be in the West might be forced to answer for the damage they've done in the Third World. Mele (Aissa Maiga) is an attractive Malian lounge singer married to Chaka (Tiecoura Traore), though their relationship is on the verge of collapse. In their eyes, the African continent isn't in much better shape than their marriage, and one day a makeshift courtroom appears in the courtyard near their shabby home. In the courtyard, a handful of powerful international organizations, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, are put on trial for their crippling effect on the African economy; as the evidence is presented which explains how these "friends" of Africa have saddled the nations with debts they can never repay, witnesses explain how these actions impact the daily lives of ordinary citizens, who pass through the trial as they go on with their days.

The Avengers star Tom Hiddleston is in negotiations to swoop into the lead role in a planned remake of cult classic The Crow.
Bradley Cooper had previously been tipped for the project, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with filmmaker David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook.
The re-imagining of the 1994 thriller stalled as producers considered casting Mark Wahlberg and Channing Tatum to play Eric Draven, who returns from the dead to track down the gang which killed his fiancee.
Reports now suggest Hiddleston is in talks for the job, which famously cost original star Brandon Lee his life after a prop gun accident in March 1993.
According to TheWrap.com, the British actor recently met with executives at Relativity Media, the company behind the remake, and is keen to take on the part.
Spanish filmmaker F. Javier Gutierrez is attached to direct. The movie has yet to secure a release date.

Today began the real countdown to the wedding…9 days. I kept reminding everyone at work that it was 9 days 7 hours. Then it was 9 days 5 hours. By the end of the day it became 8 days 23 hours and 59 minutes!
Yes, I'm excited.
People were laughing. Some said, "Just give it a few years." Others "hope" that it will always bring me this much happiness.
I thought I would tell you why I believe this marriage is different for me and Brent.
Have you ever broken a bone? You try to perform a normal task and it is either not possible or is extremely painful. OF course, broken bones take time to heal, so you are without the full use of that part of your body for quite some time. Eventually, the bone heals. If all goes well, it heals "correctly," but sometimes it heals a little askew. Nonetheless, it is healed and you can once again use that body part.
It has been so long since you had full use of your body that it feels strange, but you are so appreciative that the bone has healed.
Let's say, like the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo, you break the same bone again. This time the break and healing is familiar, but it still takes time to heal and maybe it takes even more time because you already broke that bone once. Second breaks are not easier. I think second breaks are harder to heal and more painful.
I've broken my right pinkie toe four times or maybe five times. I've lost count. Anyway, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to broken bone pain and the appreciation I feel to finally get to use the healed part of my body again.
Do I treat my pinkie toe special? I sure do! I never put it in a pair of shoes that causes it pain! I appreciate my pinkie toe more than you can imagine!!!
Brent and I have broken marriages in our past. We see the part we played in the marriages and we also have made conscious changes in ourselves over the years. We changed not only because of the experiences in those marriages, but we have gotten older, discarded a lot of our self-defeating behaviors, and said goodbye to some baggage. We both are at the point where we feel an abundance of gratitude to be loved by someone who notices the little things and doesn't take them for granted.
While Brent appreciates that I "get him," I appreciate that he makes me laugh everyday. We both find peace with one another. As you well know, "peace" has not been something I've felt a whole lot of for quite some time.
Love and gratitude are emotions we not only feel, but we also express daily. Why? Because like the experience of having a broken bone and the appreciation of the healed bone, we both feel a great amount of gratitude for being loved back. Telling each other how we feel is a privilege.
I know that's a whole lot of gushy love stuff, but it really is the truth. There isn't anything more wonderful than love. I am about to add another person who loves me to my family. I'm feeling very thankful and blessed.
Since inquiring minds want to know and SEE, here is one of my favorite pictures of the wonderful man who has captured my heart…

My Transformation Story
I am a busy Mom of three teenagers, and also own a Real Estate Agency. What makes me really happy though, is working out and helping other people with their fitness journeys.
Just over a year ago, I had packed on an extra 30 lbs, that had slowly accumulated due to an ugly divorce, and just life in general. I wasn't sleeping well, had some health issues, and was feeling miserable. I was up one night, flipping through the channels, when I came across a late night infomercial on fitness. You're saying OMG, an informercial, really?!?! That's what my boyfriend said too, when I told him that I bought it. In fact, he bet me the cost of the workout package, that I wouldn't stick with it. That was good enough motivation for me, just to prove him wrong!!
What I loved about the workout package, was the trainer. The workout program that I purchased was TurboFire, and the trainer was Chalene Johnson. That's when I became a Chalene Johnson convert and got addicted to her program. I followed the schedule that came with the program, and started reading all the information on nutrition. I changed my way of eating, and adhered to the meal plan. What I really loved was that Chalene was so easy to relate to and so motivating!! I knew I had found my workout!!
Fast forward to now, 18 months later. I am 30 lbs lighter, and have toned my body better than it ever was. I've been able to eliminate alot of the foods that were making me unhealthy, such as sugar, wheat, caffeine, and processed foods. I've learned how to eat correctly and not diet. I workout almost everyday now, plus I feel like I'm 25 again. There just isn't a better feeling!
The best part of the whole experience is, that people want me to help them with their weight loss journey! It's very rewarding to me to be able to do that. I am a Team Beachbody Coach, and if you join my team, I will be here for you to give you all the coaching advice that you need, for free!

I am a native of Maryland growing up in Montgomery County, living the last 10 years in Howard County with ties to Annapolis and the Eastern Shore so I consider myself a real local of sorts. I enjoy being involved in the community and meeting people along the way is just the best part. I guess that makes me a people person.
My career path has always been in sales, marketing and service. I have had the good fortune to have spent most of that in real estate sales and hospitality sales and marketing. Receiving some of the best training in customer care, service culture, negotiating, marketing and contract writing by industry leaders along with my tenure, I have overlapping skills and credentials that allow me to be a strong advocate for those I work with.
I am so excited to infuse these skills with my passion for helping friends, family and clients with one of the most important decisions they will make, laying down roots and investing in their future.

You don't have to be the Earl of Grantham to own your own British country estate. But it helps to have a royal-sized fortune to burn.
With this week's season premiere of the third season of "Downton Abbey," we decided to take a look at what it costs to buy, own and maintain a grand estate in the U.K.
Rupert Sweeting, head of the Country Department of Knight Frank in London, said that the biggest costs of owning a country estate are the staff. He said that for a "moderate-sized" 1,500 acre spread, you'll need a butler, cook, secretary, groundspeople and cleaning staff. (Read More: Top Towns for $10 Million Home Sales)
"And for hunts, you need gamekeepers, one or two at the very least," he said.
Total annual cost for the staff would be anywhere between $600,000 to $1 million a year.
Then there all those leaky roves and crumbling gargoyles. Everyday repairs on your estate or castle will set you back another $100,000 a year or so.
Renovations are the big ticket item. Sweeting said most owners do a major renovation after they've purchase their estates. After about 20 or 30 years, they either redo them again or sell. (Read More: The Five Largest Landowners in America)
He said many clients spend $6 million to $8 million on renovations, though some spend much more.
In the end, the total bill for keeping an estate is upwards of $1.5 million or more.
Sweeting said some buyers don't realize the full costs of owning a country estate until a year or two into ownership. Knight Frank, he said, spends a lot of time educating them on the costs and time before sales.
"It can be a bit of a shock," he said. "We try to educate them on all the costs involved."
He said owners can offset some of the costs with tax benefits, which help farm owners. But he said the high costs of owning an estate means that the largest of the country homes now selling in Britain are often selling to super-rich buyers from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, the U.S. or Latin America. (Read More: Million Dollar Winter Wonderland Homes.)
One country estate he's selling, called Bletchingdon Park, in Oxfordshire, features a classic Georgian house with 24,000 square feet and 127 acres. The price: $52 million.
Which is why today's version of Downton Abbey might be better called "the Czars of Dorset."

I've been sorting out my stash. I know, I know, I said I had lots of work on and I do – I haven't yet been reduced to cleaning out the freezers as a displacement activity, but their time will doubtless come. Once the stash is dealt with. I have two, essentially: one of wool for pop-up shops, craft fairs, etc., and one for me. The latter was surprising, when I spread it out. It's full of green.
There are olive greens, lime greens, greens with blues,
yellows, even purples; there are the greens of pine trees, greens of ivy, greens of the bright new birch leaves in spring. There are greens in cotton (bit flat, that, it might have to move into the pop-up stash), alpaca, all sorts of wools. There's green fluff for spinning and there's even some green acrylic (shh, don't tell anyone).
All this greenery got me thinking. I know where it comes from: the old thing about red hair and green, so guess what I was always put in as a child, when I couldn't persuade my mother that black would look good too? Fair play to her, she didn't do baby pale greens; she did emerald, and I did love my party dress which was bright emerald shot with a darker bottle green, and with long sleeves – most odd, in retrospect, in a sea of small girls in pink powder puffs. When I asked her about this many years later she just shrugged and said pink would have looked ridiculous with my red plait and she hated pastels anyway. I wasn't brave enough to ask if any of the other mothers ever said anything about it.
I began to think about the symbolism of green, about its ambivalent nature. It's the 'fairy colour' (of the dangerous Sidh and not, originally, of Leprechauns), the colour of Bridget and of course the colour of the Green Knight. But in Islam it's been called 'the colour of safety and permission', representing a verdant paradise, and it's the colour of environmental movements worldwide (Incidentally, the first recorded green party was a political faction in sixth-century Byzantium who took their name from a chariot team). It's also the colour of the snake in the Garden of Eden and the associated with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, because lots of greenery was taken into homes. And in the first illustrations to Dickens' Christmas Carol, Christmas Present wears green robes.
Greens began to leap out at me. I had a lovely time over the Christmas break, binge-watching films and eating chocolate, and there was green everywhere. I'm ignoring here the green of Eowyn's dress in Fellowship of the Ring, or of Shrek (and of Fiona), or of the Incredible Hulk or of Loki's costumes in the Thor films (though I might come back to the use of greens in the MCU at some point, as it's interestingly more complex than you'd think), because I did watch some classics as well, honest I did.
In classic movies, green is often shorthand for self-confidence, and a certain disconcerting boldness. Take Gone with the Wind and Scarlett O'Hara – please take Scarlett O'Hara, I can't stand the woman – OK, she's of Irish origin and we all know that means red hair and green eyes and a difficult temperament: yeah right, and all clichés emphasised through the use of green. There's the dress made out of curtains, which is 'symbolic of her will to survive' (Walter Plunkett). Boy, is that green:
and then there's the dressing gown (like no dressing gown I've ever owned, mind) which she wears when she, essentially, tells Rhett to piss off:
It's not just Scarlett O'Hara, either, green-clad and temperamental. There's Cyd Charisse in 'a tasselled green number' seducing Gene Kelly in a dream sequence in Singing in the Rain; there's Tippi Hedren wearing a green suit in The Birds (Hitchcock felt the artificial green colour would enhance the viewers' sense of discomfort); Kim Novak as Judy in Vertigo. The latter is particularly interesting when it comes to symbolism: it's ostensibly sweet, but it's also very tight and therefore, er, 'emphasises her earthiness', especially as Novak was quite clearly not wearing a bra (which she has spoken about).
But it's not just the classics. Perhaps the most famous green costume in recent years has been Keira Knightly's dress in Atonement.
It was actually voted the best film costume of all time (gods, I hate these things, they put so much stress on the recent and the blockbuster) in a poll commissioned by Sky Movies. The whole film has a green tone: the countryside, the kitchen and bathroom of the villa, even the flooded tube station. One commentator said 'Its colour becomes the symbol of the night that affects the lives of all the main characters'.
I love it. In fact, I'm knitting in just this colour at the moment. I may be looking at my stash in a new light…

High Blood Pressure Heightens Risk of Dementia
Individuals who have elevated systolic blood pressure in midlife have an increased risk of dementia in later life, according to scientists at the National Institute on Aging.14
Systolic blood pressure, which is the pressure that occurs when the heart contracts, is expressed as the upper number in a person's blood pressure measurement. Scientists assessed the blood pressure of middle-aged Japanese-American men in the early 1970s and followed them through the late 1990s. They found that those with higher midlife systolic blood pressure had a greater risk of developing dementia later in life. Individuals whose midlife systolic blood pressure was over 140 mmHg had the greatest risk. Midlife systolic pressure of 120-139 mmHg increased dementia risk to a lesser degree, while pressure below 120 mmHg was associated with the lowest risk. The risk for dementia was highest for those who had never been treated for high blood pressure.
These findings suggest that the processes leading to dementia begin many years before the condition manifests, and that preventing and treating high blood pressure in middle-aged adults may help reduce their risk of developing dementia later in life.

FDA Scientists Asked to Alter Scientific Data
Almost 20% of 997 FDA scientists surveyed by the Union of Concerned Scientists "have been asked, for nonscientific reasons, to inappropriately exclude or alter technical information or their conclusions in a FDA scientific document."13 Moreover, 40% stated that they feared retaliation for expressing safety concerns in public, and more than a third did not feel they could express safety concerns even within the agency.
Sixty-one percent of respondents knew of instances in which Department of Health and Human Services or FDA political appointees had inappropriately entered into FDA determinations or actions. Additionally, 60% were aware of cases in which "commercial interests have inappropriately induced or attempted to induce the reversal, withdrawal, or modification of FDA determinations or actions." When asked whether they agreed that the "FDA routinely provides complete and accurate information to the public" and "FDA leadership is as committed to product safety as it is to bringing products to the market," fewer than half of the scientists responded positively.
The Union of Concerned Scientists called on the FDA to increase accountability and transparency, as well as to protect researchers who speak out when scientific data are manipulated. Furthermore, the group recommends that all federal agencies have fully functioning, independent advisory committees and be held accountable by Congress.

Japanese Study May Herald Stem Cell Breakthrough
Adult cells from mice can be made to behave like embryonic stem cells, report Japanese researchers.16 If this technology works similarly in humans, it could render moot some of the ethical controversies surrounding embryonic stem cell research.
Because embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the human body, they hold almost unlimited promise in fighting disease and helping scientists understand how diseases develop. Embryonic stem cells are typically harvested from five-day-old embryos (known as blastocysts), which are destroyed in this process of harvesting. Opponents of stem cell therapies consider destruction of an embryo at any stage of development to be unethical. If adult cells from humans could be manipulated to behave like embryonic stem cells, no destruction of embryos would be necessary.
Additionally, inducing adult cells to behave like stem cells could help advance the field of tissue transplantation. Transplanted tissues and organs are frequently rejected by the recipient's immune system because they are recognized by the body as foreign. The ability to induce adult cells to behave like embryonic stem cells means that people could one day receive tissue transplants derived from their own cells, thus overcoming the problem of rejection by the immune system.

Missouri to Vote on Promoting Stem Cell Research
On November 7, 2006, Missouri voters will have the opportunity to vote on the Stem Cell Initiative, a measure that would amend the state's constitution to ensure that any federally approved form of stem cell research or treatment could take place in Missouri. The measure would pave the way for both embryonic and adult stem cell research to be conducted in Missouri.17
The Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures has raised more than $16 million toward the initiative's passage, much of it donated by the founders of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, which performs both embryonic and adult stem cell research. William Neaves, president and CEO of the Stowers Institute and a leading supporter of embryonic stem cell research, says that those who support limiting research to adult stem cells are exaggerating the potential benefits of using only adult stem cells.
Neaves recently published a letter in Science magazine in response to comments made by Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan) during congressional debate on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.18 Brownback, an opponent of embryonic stem cell research, requested that the Congressional Record list 69 human diseases that are now being treated with adult and cord blood stem cells. According to Neaves, however, stem cell treatment for most of those diseases is based on limited clinical trials or observations by patients and doctors, rather than on approval by the FDA. Neaves maintains that only nine illnesses have FDA-approved adult stem cell treatments. "For patients, the standard of FDA approval is a critical distinction," he notes.
By approving the measure, Missouri voters would give a green light to embryonic as well as adult stem cell research. Because embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the human body, scientists believe they may hold almost unlimited potential in helping to fight disease and promote longevity.

Digg was, for a season, one of the most popular sites on the Internet. I personally never was much into it, as it was geared towards tech heads – I'm sort of one, but I'm more of a business guy who happens to be interested in tech.
The Wall Street Journal writes that Digg sold for $500,000 to a NY based company, and it was worth $160 million in 2008 – big loss in valuation for sure.
This happened for a few reasons:
- It attempted to relaunch itself but responded slow to criticism. In an interview I had with Scott Hintz, founder of TripIt, he said always listen to your customers.
- Digg's competitors Facebook and Twitter evolved and Digg never did – at least not fast enough. Not enabling people to easily SHARE the news they read about.
- Digg was not able to migrate from one database to another without some serious problems.
How can you insulate your business from failure:
- Listen to your customers.
- Listen to your competition
- Do tech upgrades or any changes slowly and with lots of testing
- Innovate (or die)
Of course it's VERY easy to speak about something in HIND SIGHT. Kevin Rose, founder of Digg is a smart guy – can't wait to see what he does next.

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY -- The work to protect the San Joaquin Delta starts with one sandbag at a time.
The California Conservation Corps was called to help in preventing damage in what's known as wave wash.
"The King's tide and the high water, what happens is it creates these dips, and what we're going to do is we're going to fill the dips with these sandbags," Tony Burger with the CCC said.
The strong tides could do some real damage to San Joaquin County's farmland.
All-in-all, about 50 members of the CCC worked on Wednesday afternoon on Twitchell Island.
"We go to fires, we go to floods, we go to emergencies. We're California's largest unskilled mobile work force," Burger said.
Each sandbag adds another layer of protection against the potential new rainfall.
"It's a work ethic program, hard work, low pay, miserable conditions and more is our motto," he told us.

The Teaching CoOp:
Flipping the World of Medical Education
The Teaching CoOp exists to connect passionate educators with other passionate educators. You will leave our teaching course with the necessary tools to improve engagement and increase learning while teaching relevant techniques in medical education. The international courses we provide throughout the year embrace collaborative thinking and practice for all members of the healthcare team, and any level of experience and training.
A peek into the value of
teaching & learning at a recent teaching course.
teaching & learning at a recent teaching course.
The hallmark of any keen learner is willingness to ask questions and we, the faculty of The Teaching Co-op, pride ourselves on asking why.
Why do so many medical education events focus on lecture-delivered information, when we know that lectures aren't the most effective way to teach?
Why don't we recognise that the people interested enough in medical education to come to our courses have things to teach us about education too?
Why can't we do things differently?
So we have made a commitment: our courses will not be lecture-based. When we teach and learn about medical education, it will be interactive and immersive.
We, the faculty, aim to learn as much from you as you do from us. We will showcase different teaching styles, techniques, tools and exercises; teaching and learning about education as we teach and learn about it – together.
For each topic we cover (feedback, education theory, simulation in education, social media…), we will aim to use different teaching tools to explore the content – and then we will break it down, sharing with you how and why we have planned the session in the way that we have. In "Meta Moments" after each session we will revisit the intended learning outcomes, explain what we did to try to teach them, why we taught things in that way (and whether it worked!) and how we could teach the topic differently or use the technique or exercise to teach a different topic.
Of course, you are part of the #MetaMoment too – we want your input so we can all become better educators.
And at the end of the course, as well as sharing our references and resources, we'll share the session plans too – so you can see how the course was put together.
Because lectures are only part of the story.
XXOO, Natalie May
Why TTC?
Because we are

Tips for buying a home include doing research on a home before buying it, knowing all of the costs and fees involved with buying a home, and making sure the residence is thoroughly inspected. Tips for selling a home are to price it correctly from the beginning of the selling process and to add to the property's curb appeal.Continue Reading
Researching a home before buying it allows buyers to learn whether the house was built or remodeled by a reliable contractor and which products were used during the construction or remodel. Researching a home helps buyers get a better idea of how long it's likely to last.
Common additional costs involved with buying a home include mortgage costs, land transfer fees, legal costs, home insurance plans and title insurance. Buyers should request a complete list of all expected fees from their real estate agents. Another additional fee is for the home inspection, which should be performed to ensure there aren't any problems with the property that need to be taken care of by the seller before the residence is ready to be inhabited.
Setting the right price at the beginning of the selling process helps the property to sell faster. The initial 30 days of activity for a home on the market are usually the best. Buyer interest can be increased by planting flowers out front, replacing the mailbox and other actions that enhance the property's curb appeal.Learn more about Real Estate

Puppet Making!
This week we have started making our own puppets. Before we could do this, we need to have our first sewing lesson! We learned to thread a needle and make a simple stitch. It was very tricky but in the end we managed to make our first stitches on a paper plate :) Next up, sewing our puppets!

When somebody sits on the john and begins with some snaps, crackles, and finally some poop. The sound is similar to that familiar breakfast cereal we all know, but after the snap and crackle you get poop instead of pop (the poop is usually preceded by a grunt and followed by a sigh).
I walked into the bathroom at work and thought somebody was eating rice krispy's, but then I realized it was just a snap crackle poop.

In electrical engineering, frequency compensation is a technique used in amplifiers, and especially in amplifiers employing negative feedback. It usually has two primary goals: To avoid the unintentional creation of positive feedback, which will cause the amplifier to oscillate, and to control overshoot and ringing in the amplifier's step response.
Most amplifiers use negative feedback to trade gain for other desirable properties, such as decreased distortion or improved noise reduction. Ideally, the phase characteristic of an amplifier's frequency response would be constant; however, device limitations make this goal physically unattainable. More particularly, capacitances within the amplifier's gain stages cause the output signal to lag behind the input signal by 90° for each pole they create.[1] If the sum of these phase lags reaches 360°, the output signal will be in phase with the input signal. Feeding back any portion of this output signal to the input when the gain of the amplifier is sufficient will cause the amplifier to oscillate. This is because the feedback signal will reinforce the input signal. That is, the feedback is then positive rather than negative.
Frequency compensation is implemented to avoid this result.
Another goal of frequency compensation is to control the step response of an amplifier circuit as shown in Figure 1. For example, if a step in voltage is input to a voltage amplifier, ideally a step in output voltage would occur. However, the output is not ideal because of the frequency response of the amplifier, and ringing occurs. Several figures of merit to describe the adequacy of step response are in common use. One is the rise time of the output, which ideally would be short. A second is the time for the output to lock into its final value, which again should be short. The success in reaching this lock-in at final value is described by overshoot (how far the response exceeds final value) and settling time (how long the output swings back and forth about its final value). These various measures of the step response usually conflict with one another, requiring optimization methods.
Frequency compensation is implemented to optimize step response, one method being pole splitting.
Use in operational amplifiers
Because operational amplifiers are so ubiquitous and are designed to be used with feedback, the following discussion will be limited to frequency compensation of these devices.
It should be expected that the outputs of even the simplest operational amplifiers will have at least two poles. An unfortunate consequence of this is that at some critical frequency, the phase of the amplifier's output = -180° compared to the phase of its input signal. The amplifier will oscillate if it has a gain of one or more at this critical frequency. This is because (a) the feedback is implemented through the use of an inverting input that adds an additional -180° to the output phase making the total phase shift -360° and (b) the gain is sufficient to induce oscillation.
A more precise statement of this is the following: An operational amplifier will oscillate at the frequency at which its open loop gain equals its closed loop gain if, at that frequency,
1. The open loop gain of the amplifier is ≥ 1 and
2. The difference between the phase of the open loop signal and phase response of the network creating the closed loop output = -180°. Mathematically,
ΦOL – ΦCLnet = -180°
Frequency compensation is implemented by modifying the gain and phase characteristics of the amplifier's open loop output or of its feedback network, or both, in such a way as to avoid the conditions leading to oscillation. This is usually done by the internal or external use of resistance-capacitance networks.
[edit]Dominant-pole compensation
The method most commonly used is called dominant-pole compensation, which is a form of lag compensation. A pole placed at an appropriate low frequency in the open-loop response reduces the gain of the amplifier to one (0 dB) for a frequency at or just below the location of the next highest frequency pole. The lowest frequency pole is called the dominant pole because it dominates the effect of all of the higher frequency poles. The result is that the difference between the open loop output phase and the phase response of a feedback network having no reactive elements never falls below −180° while the amplifier has a gain of one or more, ensuring stability.
Dominant-pole compensation can be implemented for general purpose operational amplifiers by adding an integrating capacitance to the stage that provides the bulk of the amplifier's gain. This capacitor creates a pole that is set at a frequency low enough to reduce the gain to one (0 dB) at or just below the frequency where the pole next highest in frequency is located. The result is a phase margin of ≈ 45°, depending on the proximity of still higher poles.[2] This margin is sufficient to prevent oscillation in the most commonly used feedback configurations. In addition, dominant-pole compensation allows control of overshoot and ringing in the amplifier step response, which can be a more demanding requirement than the simple need for stability.
Though simple and effective, this kind of conservative dominant pole compensation has two drawbacks:
1. It reduces the bandwidth of the amplifier, thereby reducing available open loop gain at higher frequencies. This, in turn, reduces the amount of feedback available for distortion correction, etc. at higher frequencies.
2. It reduces the amplifier's slew rate. This reduction results from the time it takes the finite current driving the compensated stage to charge the compensating capacitor. The result is the inability of the amplifier to reproduce high amplitude, rapidly changing signals accurately.
Often, the implementation of dominant-pole compensation results in the phenomenon of Pole splitting. This results in the lowest frequency pole of the uncompensated amplifier "moving" to an even lower frequency to become the dominant pole, and the higher-frequency pole of the uncompensated amplifier "moving" to a higher frequency.
Other methods
Some other compensation methods are: lead compensation, lead–lag compensation and feed-forward compensation.
Lead compensation. Whereas dominant pole compensation places or moves poles in the open loop response, lead compensation places a zero[3] in the open loop response to cancel one of the existing poles.
Lead–lag compensation places both a zero and a pole in the open loop response, with the pole usually being at an open loop gain of less than one.
Feed-forward compensation uses a capacitor to bypass a stage in the amplifier at high frequencies, thereby eliminating the pole that stage creates.
The purpose of these three methods is to allow greater open loop bandwidth while still maintaining amplifier closed loop stability. They are often used to compensate high gain, wide bandwidth amplifiers.
The Dominant Pole approximation
Reduction of a second order system to first order
Consider a second order system with a transfer function that is reduced to first order.
This assumes that a>>b, or that the pole at b is dominant. The coefficient "a" remains in the denominator so that the DC gain (which is also the final value of the output with a unit step input) remains unchanged. Recall that the DC gain is G(0).
The graph below shows the exact response (red) and the dominant pole approximation (green) for a=8 and b=1. Following the graph is Matlab code in which you can set a with b=1 to see how accurate the dominant pole approximation is.
Higher Order
The dominant pole approximation can also be applied to higher order systems. Here we consider a third order system with one real root, and a pair of complex conjugate roots.
In this case the test for the dominant pole compare "a" against "zwn". This is because "zwn" is the real part of the complex conjugate root (we only compare the real parts of the roots when determining dominance because it is the real part that determines how fast the response decreases). Note that the DC gain of the exact system and the two approximate systems are equal.
In the examples and Matlab code below, the second order pole has zeta=0.4 and wn=1 (which yields roots with a real part of 0.4 and an imaginary part of +/-0.92j). There are three graphs. In the first graph a=0.1 (the real pole dominates), in the second graph a=4 (the complex conjugate poles dominate) and in the third graph a=0.4 (neither dominates and the response is obviously more complicated than a simple second order response). In all three graphs the exact response is in red, the approximate response in which the first order pole dominates is in green, and the approximate response in which the second order pole dominates is in blue.

Predevelopment & Research
My work for this assignment is actually also a final piece in a series of my previous work, and it is actually their culmination – it is what these previous works were supposed to represent. From the start I wished to create a piece of light-art, but also with a mix of a kinetic scultpure or object. I wished to combine these two elements to create a visual instrument that is interactive.
In this respect, I was influenced largely by the works of Olaffur Eliasson, who although is not
creating very similar object is very stemmed in the experience itself. He works a lot with
geometrical shapes, and the properties of objects themselves. He creates his art by playing with
forms and light in order to create stunning experiences. It is hard to comment on his direct work process though, as he employs a studio full of people who help him complete his amazing works.
I also enjoyed the works of a young american artist, Joshua Kirsch who creates interactive lightart/kinetic objects.
His works, particuarly Concentricity 96 as seen above have inspired me, although the basic shape of my piece was created long ago before I found him. He works with quite advanced mechanics and electronics, standard of which I could not replicate, but anyhow seeing his work I decided that my work should definitely be interactive.
The previous works that this final piece is a culmination of are two objects, one is a small copper jewelry piece, which I call Rotator 1. Its about 10cm in diameter, and it already reflects the basic shape of my future work.
Later, I was able to work with some larger metal plates, and so I decided that I could make my work bigger, perhaps prepare a skeleton for further work. The Rotator 2 already was about 1,25m in diameter and made of cor-ten metal. However the whole structure was too heavy. I would not be able to get it moving, and even if so it would be quite dangerous with this mass of metal
Statement of Intent
In my project I will research several artist and techniques in order to create an object that is both visual and interactive. This piece will be a light/kinetic sculpture with a variety of possible uses – as aninstallation piece/projection area/or a music visualisation. Foremostly
though I like to describe it as a 'visual instrument'.
It will be made out of wood, I also need a suitable motor and around 3
meters of LED light strips.
The final production will be in the form of photodocumentation and video.
Additional comments
This project has involved a lot of drawing, directly or indirectly. Sketching and drawing were at the center, although it wasn't usually on paper, but on the woodpieces themselves that would finally be cut.
I enjoyed working on this project a lot because it combined a wide variety of techniques and led me to discover and learn more.
Sketches & Development
Actual Development
I wished for my piece to be interactive and rotating, so I had several
constrains that I need to solve or get around. The first was finding a
suitable motor that would be powerful enough to rotate my piece, yet
not too powerful to work with.
The solution came quite quickly with the discovery of an old washing
And so, the very first challenge was removing it from the box.
The motor needed to be plugged in! Luckily I was able to configure
the original cord of the washing machine.
And use it to plug the motor into power directly.
With the motor prepared, I now knew how should I continue with my
production. The motor was a primary constraint, as everything would
stem from it. There were several important things that would be built
on it – the rotating power connectors that would power the LED lights
on the ends and a systém of attaching the whole piece. Next came the
basic designing.
First, were the 'wings'. Their size and shape was calculated to be
exact, and to have about 20cm of space in separation.
In further preparation, the whole shapes was drawn onto a board.
The wings are cut and put into the prepared shape.
Next were the middle pieces that neatly fall into place.
The middle pieces would need to be connected together strongly with
wooden circles and glue.
Adding the central parts to hold the structure.
The rotation is achieved.
Gluing process continues.
In the end only one screw was enough to hold the wings, even when
The base is done. Down you can see the two wooden plates that will
hold the structure on the end of the motor with several screws.
Standard and 'Shuriken' mode
The most complicated element is probably the power connection. It
will be led through cables that will touch the rotating rod. On the rod
there will be strips of tape that will both hold and insulate two metal
strips. The curved ends of the woodpieces will be filled with wire that
will touch the metal strips. Cables will lead from the metal strips
( under them ) and connect to the added rotating structure, as they
rotate together with the rod.
Adding the metal strips.
Time for the paint-job.
Paintjob is done. Next : sticking the LED strips. They already came
with 3M tape on the other side, so they were ready to go.
The connection travels through the wooden pieces through the insulated metal
plates and onwards through cables that rotate with the structure.
The connection travels through the wooden pieces through the insulated metal
plates and onwards through cables that rotate with the structure.
The rotating power connectors are finished.
Time to solder the cables to the LED strips. Only one of the strips had
the cables pre-attached.
The base is finished, time for wiring.
First connection – it is working!
Testing the light intensity.

Hello! I want to know that which crystals are good for eye blindness and to bring calmness and peace in life. Thank you!
Dear T,
Thank you for contacting Healing Crystals with your question about crystals for blindness and calmness and peace in life. First, let me share the standard disclaimer: I am not a medical professional and can neither diagnose illness nor prescribe medical treatments. Crystals should not be used as a replacement for medical care, but rather used as a complimentary therapy along with the treatment prescribed by your licensed medical professional. Crystals will most likely not cure blindness, but for general eye health, Tiger Eye is a favorite of mine. When my eyes are tired or strained, I use a flat piece of Golden Tiger Eye on each eye lid as I rest quietly for about 20 minutes.
Peace and calmness in life can be aided with crystals, but will be more lasting as other spiritual disciplines such as meditation are also employed. Some great crystals to assist in this are Lepidolite for calmness, Spodumene for meditation and Celestite for accessing Divine guidance and better feeling the presence of the Divine in your life.
I hope this information has been helpful to you. And of course, if you have any further questions regarding crystals or crystal healing, please feel free to contact us again.
Crystal Blessings!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'NDS - Console and Game Discussions' started by heronic, Jun 28, 2006.
what does 'DS' stand for?
"Dual Screen" or "Developers System".
But I believe the most common answer for the general public would be Dual Screen.
"DS" stands for dear son
that makes perfect sense , how about SP?
I always though it stood for D.ark and S.park
SP stands for special
I thought that at first too, but what about "Special Product"?
some of us play alot of ds , DS stands for "Dating Service".
Also Death Sonar.
it's for DUO-CORE SONIC, the latest and fastest processor Intel has come up with to date.
DS = Duuuuuuuuddddeee.... S!C
Dead Soon
Dumb Sh!zzn!t.
Soft Porno?

Yonder Mountain String Band/ Tony Trischka, Palladium, Worcester, MA- 2/22
Glacial temperatures and record-breaking snowfalls have remade New England into
a combination of a downhill Mecca and an American Northeast version of
"Survivor." Would jamgrass fans brave the raw and unpredictable elements to
celebrate with Colorado-based favorites Yonder Mountain String Band on a
blustery, rain-soaked Saturday evening? During the opening set by banjo ace
Tony Trischka, that question remained unresolved.
Trischka, who scuttled his Bun E. Carlos look by sporting a light-catching silk
shirt, found his quintet playing to a slightly more than half-full dance floor
at the Worcester Palladium. Hampered somewhat by the cavernous interior's
empty balcony (balcony seats are usually not sold at the Palladium) and an
underwhelming mix steeped in mid-range but little else, Trischka nonetheless
impressed his audience with his brand of hillbilly jazz. The band offered
relaxed, sultry excursions reminiscent of the Flecktones minus the world music
overtones. By the time Trischka bid the appreciative crowd farewell, the club
floor began to swell into a teeming mass. Apparently New Englanders are as
rugged as advertised; they arrived en masse, hungry, and on time to take part
in this late-winter hoe-down.
After a brief set break (a low-overhead bonus of acoustic-oriented shows),
Yonder bounded into old favorite "High on the Hilltop," bolstered by a more
dynamic presence than the mix had afforded Trischka's quintet. From the onset
it was apparent that the nasty weather and long nights on the bus hadn't
dampened Yonder's ability to deliver their trademark harmonies. The band might
not possess a soaring bluegrass tenor like Del McCoury or approach the
heart-of-darkness soul of Ralph Stanley, but collectively the vocalists can
resonate with the sweet sustain of a small violin section. Mandolinist Jeff
Austin, banjo picker Dave Johnston, and guitar slinger Adam Aijala, all warmed
up their fretboards on "Hilltop" with concise, tasty breaks.
Another first set highlight was Austin's take on the well-traveled,
done-me-wrong tune, "Romance Blues," during which the band proved their vocal
prowess by nailing the bittersweet high and lonesome sound. Clearly
comfortable with the frontman role, Austin led the band and audience through the
rousing choruses of "Brown Mountain Light," embarking on a chicken-pickin'
mandolin break that surged mightily into a showcase for Johnston, who answered
with an extended, roiling five-string waterfall of his own.
Mid-set, Trischka joined Johnston in the polite banjo sparring match, "Tequila
Mockingbird," as each player respectfully comped behind the other's
improvisation. Trischka added spice to several more tunes, including bassist
Ben Kaufmann's confident reading of "My Walking Shoes Don't Fit Me Anymore."
The anthemic "Only a Northern Song" not only seduced the audience into a
cacophonous sing-a-long, it inspired the set's payoff jam, which was ignited
and eventually dissipated by Johnston's banjo wizardry. Austin wore his heart
on his sleeve with the sincere, gospel-soaked "Four Walls of Raiford," anchored
between the brisk, country blues of "Ramblin' in the Rambler."
While crisp and energetic, the first set only hinted at the full-throttle
capabilities Yonder displayed in the second set. This evening was a homecoming
for Worcester native Aijala, and Kaufmann hails from Maynard, MA, about twenty
miles down the road. In the first set, Adam wore his diligent,
day-at-the-office face, but by the middle of this percolating set, he was all
smiles. Traveling beyond the virtuosity demonstrated by their traditionalist
forebears, Yonder Mountain appeared to approach their second set with a mission – to command the dance floor.
And danced they did. Flailing arms and elastic hamstrings rendered concrete
floor real estate into gold. "Keep on Going," another Yonder anthem,
initiated a rash of pogoing and a sinewy Kaufmann solo before segueing into the
J.J. Cale-identified "Oklahoma," only to return in jamband fashion to "Keep on
Going." Austin inserted a particularly volatile mandolin break during
"Oklahoma," and he scatted above a rhythmic reggae chug that evoked "Small Axe"
before returning to the top slice of the sandwich.
The rest of the hour-plus set revealed a Yonder Mountain String Band at home in
their element. Most selections resulted in odysseys that recalled the Allmans
in their expansive, Southern-fried prime, albeit with near-angelic harmonies
instead of Gregg Allman's primal, roadhouse growl. The band played fewer tunes
than in their lively first set, but the repertoire displayed respect for
songcraft coupled with exploratory and melodically satisfying soloing.
Springsteen likes to end his shows in a sprint designed to rattle the rib cages
of his audience and send them home on a high note. From a more quaint but
equally sincere perspective, Yonder Mountain arouses similar emotions in their
audience with their simple, acoustic yarns of life and love on the road,
swirling rhythms, and dazzling displays of stringed mastery. Yonder concluded
their second set by ripping through "Lord Only Knows," crowd favorite "The
Bolton Stretch" from the disc "Elevation," "On the Run," "Mother's Only Son,"
and a reprise of "On the Run," all propelled and strung together with extended,
imaginative jams.
Warmer weather and outdoor festivals are still several months away, at least in
this Northeast corner. The fans who abandoned their Play Stations and
fireplaces to pack this genuine, old-time-movie and vaudeville theater were
well rewarded with a burst of fresh mountain air that should carry them over the
hump until the spring sun thaws the hillsides and fairgrounds.

Dog Attacks
Prevention is better than cure
In the 2017/2018 financial year, 625 dog attacks involving a bite occurred in Logan City. Attacks by dogs on humans, other companion animals and livestock are largely preventable.
For more information on preventing dog attacks, refer to the Dog Attack Fact Sheet.
If a dog on the street attacks you or your pet what should you do?
Contact Council immediately on 3412 5397 to report the incident.
A Council officer will contact and/or attend your home to obtain a statement that will detail:
- Date and time and location of the attack
- Description of the dog, such as colour, breed and size
- Details of the dog's owner (if possible)
You can complete the Dog Attack Statement (PDF 249 KB) Form prior to the officer calling and/or attending your home.
If Council can identify the dog and determine where it came from, legal action may be taken against the dog's owner through infringement penallties and/or declaration of the dog. In some cases Council may seize the dog.
Am I responsible if my dog attacks?
You may be liable through civil action for injury to a person or animal as a result of an attack by your dog. Council also imposes harsh penalties and management requirements after a dog has attacked.
It is an offence under the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008 (PDF) to allow or encourage a dog to attack or cause fear to someone else or another animal. The maximum penalty that can be imposed is 300 penalty units through the Magistrates Court.
Your dog may be declared a "Regulated (dangerous or menacing) Dog" and you will be responsible for stringent controls as well as an annual Regulated (dangerous or menacing) Dog registration fee.
You can complete the Dog Attack Statement Form prior to the officer calling and/or attending your home.
