Hi everyone :)
My oh my it has been too long since I posted! But that's what happens when you are on shows and are working 9am till 11pm each day and then have only 3 days to finish off all your written work :p But that is all done now so I am here to report back! :D
First I should tell you all what the show I was working on actually was- it was a play called 'The Low Road' written by Bruce Norris. I thought it was a very interesting play (we had to read it and watch the run through so we could see where actors would have quick changes- which we as dressers are in charge of).
It's main theme is economics- which makes it sound a bit boring unless you are into economics but it actually very different and has a really good story to it. It is mainly set in the late 18th century and follows the life of an arrogant and corrupt business man who was raised by a brothel owner, it then jumps forward to the present day in the middle to see one of his ancestors (anti equally slimy businessman) at an economics conference and finally ends with Some Alien bees coming down at the end. Yes you did read that right- alien bees!
I do not blame you if all that makes no sense at all it is one of those things that you need to really read to understand and I'm sure then you would enjoy the story and really get into it and start analysing it like I did! It doesn't sound like it but it is actually a comedy and so when you properly read it it actually gives you the laugh as well :p
But anyway- now onto my make. I made the coat designed for the main character, Jim Trumpett, to wear once he had grown up and travelled to market and bought all his new fancy goods- my coat which was meant to be one of his purchases.
The pleats are striped- a cool detail the designer wanted :) There were stripes included somewhere on all the costumes by the designer to signify how everyone is kind of connected in the small american tows where the play was set- and I suppose connected to ancestors too for when they jump to the future in once scene. I really like design features that are meant to signify things like the stripes in this play- as it's almost like I am building a code or a secret message into what I am making that can only be accessed by people analysing and imagining and really getting Into the show :)
I was really proud of how it came out :) It fit really well and I really liked the finished aesthetic- it is probably one of my favourite things I've ever made! And it was even more fabulous taht it got be in a show- on a stage- in stratford london- in front of an audience- which on two of the nights contained my family and friends!!!! :D
Here is a sneaky shot of it I took from backstage inbetween carrying out my quick changes:
But here is a much better shot of it took by the official college photographer during dress parade :p:
Haha now- did you rebel I mentioned alien bees? One of my jobs was also to help with making thier costumes. We started with some yellow fisherman suits and after some sampling and a lots of hand sewing and analysing the designers sketch here is what the alien bees jacket looked like...
Notice the stripes..? ;)
And here are the trousers- mid having thier 'pollen pockets' sewn on :p:
I really wish I had a picture of the bees full dressed up as the lyrics and the see cool helmets and backpacks with wings on that scenics made! And they had yellow marigold gloves with really long pointed black fake nails on and utility belts! Haha and the microphones they had made them sound all buzzy. I had to quick change alien bee 1 (there were 2) which was quite a challenge as you can imagine due to all the crazy parts there is to put on- but it was fun and we managed it!
Hehehe hopefully I have managed to explain some of the craziness of shows in an understandable way!? :p
Well done to everyone involved as I think it was really good show and everyone really made me feel part of the team which was lovely!
I wonder what adventures and randomness my next show holds for me...? :o)
I hope you are all well and I will speak to you again soon!

End of line control
Acoustic end of line control
Testing a manufactured unit at the end of the assembly line is a critical step in the production process. Any defective products must be separated from the functional units. Reliable detection of defective units is the primary objective of any End of Line tests. Maximizing the output and minimizing the false rejection rate is the ultimate goal of Microflown End of Line control applications.
Each product has its own unique vibro-acoustic behaviour pattern. Hidden within that pattern is crucial information regarding the functioning and condition of the product itself, as well as the manufacturing process that created it. The ability take advantage such information can significantly reduce manufacturing costs as well as the number of faulty products coming of the production line. Moreover, the non-destructive nature of acoustic End of Line testing procedures enables their direct implementation on the production line itself.
Up till now numerous acoustic quality control procedures were encumbered by the physical properties of pressure microphones used in the control process. Acoustically sealed rooms, anechoic chambers, all require substantial resources and complicated measurement routines. With Microflown particle velocity sensor you can forget about these arrangements! Moreover, the Microflown sensor can be used for acceleration measurements. This feature makes it a perfect alternative for existing accelerometer based End of Line control procedures.
Microflown – End of line solutions
Microflown particle velocity probes provide the cutting edge in the field of acoustic end of line control. With Microflown particle velocity probes, products can be tested directly in the manufacturing environment without the need of removing them from the production line. Compared to traditional microphones the Microflown probes have a nearly 40dB lower susceptibility to background noises and reflections. Furthermore the method is a non-contact method so there are no mass load effects or difficulties that occur when mounting the sensor.
Not only a ground breaking sensor but the combination of it with the knowledge and experience of our top engineers make it possible to deliver a complete end to end solution for any End Of Line control application. From product analysis, testing procedure design up to production line implementation. Microflown is capable of providing a customized solution which meets your expectations.

Japanese innovations make food imported from China safer
By Consumers Union on Wednesday, October 17th, 2007
Japan tests imported food in Japan and also screens the food producers in China. According to the Times:
The Japanese have developed tough approaches for ensuring the quality of Chinese imports, particularly food – in part by far more rigorous testing of its imported food than in the United States. But the innovation getting the most American attention is Japan's system for screening Chinese producers even before they ship their merchandise to Japan.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee thinks the Japanese system holds promise for the US, as well:
Citing the Food and Drug Administration, the House report described Japan's model as the most realistic one for protecting American consumers. "The Japanese system of regulating Chinese food imports does appear to offer better control than that currently used by F.D.A.," it concluded. Says the Times:
Japan tests 10 percent of all food it imports, while the US tests less than one percent. They take samples of food, grind them up in great big blenders, and test them for pesticides, antibiotics, and other chemicals. And last year they found more than 1500 samples that violated standards, out of the more than 200,000 tested.
On the October 5 release of the Committee's findings, Representative Bart Stupak, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, announced "Other countries have found methods for keeping out unsafe foods. For example, by sampling and testing 15 times the number of shipments we do, Japan has succeeded in protecting its consumers against tainted food imports from China. If the Japanese government can sample and test 15 times the number of shipments we do, at the very minimum, our government can ensure that FDA has the resources necessary to increase testing and sampling of those imports that even Chinese exporters view as risky."
In addition to the far more aggressive food testing in Japan, corporations may only import food from companies specially licensed to produce food to Japanese standards. The Times found:
Currently, 45 Chinese companies are licensed to produce spinach for sale in Japan. The Chinese producers must grow all their spinach on their own plots and not buy any from other producers. This greatly reduces the chance of dangerous pesticides getting into shipments, Japanese officials say.
While China has licensed exporters before, this system is more stringent, Japanese and American officials say, in part because the Japanese health ministry helps to enforce it by allowing in products only from licensed companies. By contrast, the United States, with its more unrestrained free-market approach, allows importers to disregard China's licensing system.
Imported food does cost more in Japan than it does in the U.S., although many factors—particularly Japan's outdated food distribution system—contribute to that extra cost. Does the higher level of mandatory testing add some cost? Certainly, a little. Is food security and safety worth it? I think so.
A more comprehensive inspection system – at U.S. ports and on the ground in exporting countries – would go far to restoring American consumers' faith in imported food, toys and other products. If justifiably concerned consumers worry that no one seems to be able to keep dangerous foods and products off the store shelves and reduce their spending as a result, the over all cost to the U.S. economy could be far higher.
Or people could just decide to "buy at home," although the home grown goods cost more. Look in your local area for the local producers who provide an alternative to the imports in your grocery store.

Staff attorney at the International Law Institute-African Centre for Legal Excellence
Yen blogged about her experiences on the Student Life blog before graduating.
"It is incredible the opportunities I've had here in Uganda. In a few short months, I have been able to do things that I never dreamed possible. I have a billboard that I designed up in Kampala, I've met members of Parliament, had lunch with one of the highest ranked generals who helped overthrow Idi Amin, and learned so much about economic development from the perspectives of the beneficiary countries. I know that there is so much more to look forward to in the future!"

You gotta have skin.
All you really need is skin.
Skin's the thing that if you got it outside,
It helps keep your insides in.
It covers your nose,
And it's wrapped around your toes.
And inside it you put lemon meringue,
And outside ya hang your clothes.
Skin is what ya feel at home in.
And without it, furthermore,
Both your liver and abdomen
Would keep falling on the floor.
(And you'd be dressed in your intestine)
A Siamese twin
Needs an extra set of skin.
When the doctor knows that you're feeling sick
Where does he stick his needle in?
In the end of your skin.
All your friends and all your kinfolks,
Whether poor or whether rich,
They have all got lots of skin, folks,
It's convenient when they itch.
(Nothing can match it when ya scratch it)
It fits perfectly.
Yours fits you, and mine fits me.
When you're sitting down, it folds and looks grand.
And then when you stand, it's where it's been.
Ain't ya glad you've got skin!
When you were just a little baby, why your skin fit fine.
And it still is gonna fit you when you're six foot nine.
So whether you're fat, tall, big, small, chubby or thin,
Ain't ya glad you've got skin
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/allan_sherman/skin.html

After months of consecutive price increases, gas prices have finally decreased — slightly. The national average price for a gallon of regular, unleaded gas is currently $3.955 per gallon on Monday, down from Sunday's price of $3.961, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. Many experts say the $4 per gallon mark is a tipping point, a price likely to dissuade consumers from driving, lowering demand and keeping pressure on gasoline prices.
The average price of regular gas in the Los Angeles area is currently $4.268 per gallon — 2.1 cents lower than last week, eight cents higher than last month, and $1.13 higher than last year.
Today's drop in gas prices follows a week where crude oil prices tumbled. Oil prices continued to decline on Monday, dropping under $99 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
After a month where oil companies saw record profits, there has been a heap of political backlash. Consequently the five biggest oil companies have been called into a senate hearing over a proposal to eliminate $2 billion in tax breaks to the oil companies. As the backlash steers speculators away from oil, some experts are predicting an ongoing decline in gas prices through June.
For drivers and many businesses, that's the "good" news. The "bad" news is that gas prices typically don't come down as quickly as they go up. Analysts predict a price drop to an average of $3.75 per gallon by Memorial Day, and $3.50 by mid-summer.
High gas prices can have a huge impact on your bottom line. A telematics-based GPS fleet tracking system can help you to immediately reduce your fuel expenses and become more efficient in delivering your product or service.

WASHINGTON The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is attempting to clarify its policy regarding brokered deposits after a persistent flood of inquiries from banks and others about what meets the definition.
The criteria are important because the amount of brokered deposits can affect how much institutions pay in insurance assessments, among other things.
The FDIC released guidance last week that consolidated previous interpretative letters and a 2011 study into a single, 15-page Frequently Asked Questions document. The agency said it wasn't trying to create new policy, but instead clarify the issue.
"This guidance is not related to any supervisory concerns with respect to brokered deposits, it is to provide clarity on what is a brokered deposit," said Rae-Ann Miller, the FDIC's associate director of risk management policy.
Many in the industry welcomed the guidance, saying having all the answers in one place is helpful.
"It is actually a good thing they were able to compile it all into one set of guidance because when banks have asked me how you determine whether something is a brokered deposit or not, we have had to rely on these opinion letters and also on this [2011] study," said Chris Cole, executive vice president and senior regulatory counsel for the Independent Community Bankers of America.
Brokered deposits, sometimes seen as "hot money," were the subject of criticism during the savings and loan and housing crises because they can be an unstable source of funding for banks. They are broadly defined as deposits from a third-party deposit broker that are steered to an insured financial institution by an individual or business.
But determining who fits the criteria as a deposit broker is difficult, and recent innovations have made it tougher. The industry has seen an increase in new products from nonbanks such as listing services of interest rates on certificates of deposit at different insured institutions, reward checking and wealth management tools, that cross-cut more traditional deposit products.
The FDIC's FAQ includes an entire section on listing services in particular because they often walk a fine line between brokered and nonbrokered deposits. Small tweaks can determine on which side of the line they fall.
For example, the FDIC distinguishes between a listing service that would qualify as a deposit broker and one that would not. If a company is simply providing information and does not facilitate the placement of funds, it would not be considered a deposit broker. But if the service is receiving compensation for the amount of funds it is placing with an institution, steering or facilitating the placement of funds, it would be considered a deposit broker.
"Where the only function of a deposit listing service is to provide information on the availability and terms of accounts, we believe that the listing service is not facilitating the placement of deposits," the FDIC says in the FAQ.
But there are other tricky areas as well. The FAQ notes the example of a college ID card that also has a debit card component. If the card were to be marketed strictly as an ID card, those deposits would not be brokered, however, if the financial features of the ID card were promoted and the college received fees or commissions from the institution, those deposits would be considered brokered.
The FDIC also broadly says that an entity could be considered a deposit broker even if it doesn't actually place any funds with an insured institution on behalf of a third party. The FDIC takes into account other factors such as the structure and nature of potential fees a person or business may receive for steering funds to an institution, or the purpose and involvement in directing those funds.
"It does show you how conservatively and strictly the FDIC is interpreting what a brokered deposit is," Cole said. "By putting this all in one place, you get a good idea that the FDIC is not taking a lenient approach to what they consider is a brokered deposit."
But whether a deposit is considered brokered or not can have a significant impact. A number of factors, including how well capitalized the bank is and its risk rating, in some cases could cause its deposit insurance assessments to increase by as many as 10 basis points depending on the ratio of brokered deposits it holds.
In addition, while well capitalized banks are free to accept brokered deposits, banks categorized as adequately capitalized need a waiver from the FDIC to accept or rollover existing brokered deposits and undercapitalized banks are prohibited from accepting or rolling over brokered deposits altogether.
Industry observers said the new guidance would make it easier on institutions to tell what is brokered and what isn't.
"The FDIC has clearly tried to put all its guidance in one place, which is very nice, because the FDIC on brokered deposits has historically operated by a series of interpretive letters some of which are public and some of which are not public," said Lawrence Kaplan, of counsel at the law firm of Paul Hastings.
Paul Clark, a partner at Seward and Kissel who provides regulatory and transaction advice to financial institutions, agreed that the information wasn't "surprising," but there were some new details included.
"There are one or two new interpretations that have not been previously published" in the FAQ, Clark said.
But Denyette DePierro, vice president and senior counsel of regulatory policy at the American Bankers Association, said the new guidance may ultimately help nonbanks more than banks.
"Nonbanks are probably more of the audience," she said.
The topic has been controversial in the past as some believe the FDIC's definition of brokered deposits is too broad, while the FDIC has pointed to evidence that an overreliance on brokered deposits which can generally be raised more quickly than core deposits, but also dry up faster has led to bank failures and losses for the Deposit Insurance Fund.
In the most recent financial crisis, banks tapped brokered deposits in excess to fund real estate projects which led to bank failures when real estate prices plummeted. Others argue that the concentration of assets that brokered deposits enable pose a large risk, and such deposits are also less sticky than core deposits.
In the 2011 study, the FDIC said "A number of costly institution failures, including some recent failures, have experienced rapid asset growth before failure and have funded this growth through brokered deposits," and added that the FDIC's own research shows that "as brokered deposit levels increase, the probability that a bank will fail also increases."
The FDIC said in the FAQ that the overuse and mismanagement of brokered deposits by problem institutions have led to bank failures and losses to the DIF.
"The overarching theme is that the FDIC is trying to limit this type of activity," Stanley Orszula, a financial institutions lawyer and partner at Quarles & Brady, said about banks' reliance on brokered deposits. "They are trying to clamp down on brokered deposits that would cause liquidity problems. It is a reaction to the last banking crisis."
Kaplan at Paul Hastings said it is essential for a bank to be able to identify what is a brokered deposit and what is not, because if they face a capital-related enforcement action, their business activities related to those brokered deposits could be in jeopardy.
"This is really the FDIC preparing for the next battle when a bank is no longer well capitalized. Suddenly you have banks that can get troubled and are notched down a capital category, and suddenly they cannot accept brokered deposits," Kaplan said. "It is one of those issues that is really sensitive because it can really throw off a bank's and nonbank's business plans if they are arranging for these deposits."

Will Rogers State Historic Park [CA]
In the early 1930s, Will Rogers was the most popular and highest paid actor in Hollywood. From his start in vaudeville theater with a trick roping act, he rose to worldwide fame as a columnist, philosopher, radio personality, and movie star. During the 1920s, he bought land in Santa Monica, where he developed a ranch. Eventually, the Rogers's owned 186 acres overlooking the Pacific Ocean, in what is now known as Pacific Palisades. The ranch became the place where Will Rogers could relax with his family and friends, pursuing his favorite pastimes of riding and roping. At his untimely death in a plane crash in 1935, Will Rogers's ranch consisted of a 31-room ranch house, a stable, corrals, riding ring, roping arena, polo field, golf course, and hiking trails. When his widow, Betty, died in 1944, the ranch became a state park.
The park offers exhibits, tours, educational programs, and educational and recreational events.

Stephen Colbert Pays Tribute to Maurice Sendak
The "Colbert Report" host remembered the children's author during an appearance on "Live with Kelly" to promote his Sendak-inspired children's book "I Am a Pole (And So Can You!)."
Stephen Colbert, the Comedy Central host whose Maurice Sendak-inspired children's book debuts today, appeared on Live with Kelly this morning to promote the book and commented on the passing of the legendary children's author, which had just been announced hours earlier.
Colbert described Sendak as, "the most wonderful artist, and just a tremendously honest guy." He called interviewing the Where the Wild Things are author "an honor." Colbert also seemed to revel in Sendak's description of his book as "terribly ordinary." See a clip from the interview here.
I Am a Pole (And So Can You!), Colbert's Sendak-inspired children's book arrives in bookstores today.
Colbert first pitched the book during a February interview with the legendary children's writer who passed away on May 8. Sendak was promoting Bumble-ardy, the first new book in thirty years from to feature both his story and drawings together.
Colbert observed, "every celebrity is out there cashing in on children's books and I want in. What does it take for a celebrity to make a successful book?
Sendak replied, "You've started already by being an idiot."
Colbert proceeded to pitch "I Am a Pole (And So Can You!) about a pole's search for its identity. The book was originally attended as just a joke but fans clamored for a real version. In February, Colbert and Grand Central Books announced that the book would be published in May. Later, they announced that Tom Hanks would narrate the audiobook version of the story.
"I Am a Pole (And So Can You!), like the best of Colbert's work, presents a ridiculous concept in a straight-faced unironic way that slyly satirizes politics and pop culture even as it embraces it.

Traci loves to educate buyers with 'market education' to guide them through a day of exploring the city. She thoroughly enjoys helping people identify what is most important in their home search and works hard for her clients, helping them navigate the process of buying or selling with an ear for listening, clear communication and market knowledge.
"I love connecting with people and have a passion for helping buyers or sellers to have the most seamless experience possible."
As a city girl, Traci understands the local market, providing carefully researched insight and expert negotiations in order to help maximize sellers' equity. Traci's affinity for Denver extends to her real estate process, offering passion for home searching throughout the Mile High City and surrounding areas. Her focus revolves around paying attention to the desires and needs of her clients, and providing a flexible, fun and stress-free experience.
We had used Traci a year ago, when we made our entry into the Denver market. It was our first time in a condo after living in houses for over forty years. We found the condo we wanted on our very first day with her...and then it fell apart two weeks before closing due to warranty issues. We were in a panic. We had to move out of our house and inventory was very low. Every day we were looking, and Traci was persistent with her search for us. I will tell you what made the difference for us....we never felt rushed when we are with her. We knew right away what we did not want, but what we did want was elusive. We landed behind Chessman Park in a lovely condo with a great patio...but, we began to miss some of the amenities of owning your own place. So she had us articulate what we wanted and then the search began. Patience, patience, and more patience and we found a town house that met our needs and wants, the best of both worlds! And the best part of the story is the sale of our present place that happened in a matter of days for our asking price. Traci does her research, homework, and know the market, whether you are buying or selling. We think her attention to detail and excellent follow through make the whole house buying business painless.
- Tom and Mary Ellen Bayko, Denver
I have been in my new home now for two months and love it more and more each day! Traci was amazing to work with and she is the sole reason that I am living and enjoying my new home. I had several referrals in the beginning of my search but hit if off immediately with Traci and she never let me down and/or failed to go above and beyond my expectations throughout the entire search process. Traci was a great advocate and really got to know me and what I was looking for. She knew me so well that she actually talked me into getting my home which she knew was perfect for me, and IT IS!!!! I would not be enjoying my new home, in a perfect location if it were not for Traci and her excellent service and partnership. I would highly recommend Traci to anyone that is looking for a home. She is enjoyable to work with, trustworthy, and invested in finding her clients their perfect home!
- Eva Nelson, Lafayette
We are so grateful for the warmth and hospitality that Traci extended to us from the moment we met her at the office for an initial conversation about buying our first home together. After all, hospitality is important when you are buying a home! Traci worked to understand our needs, she knows the city of Denver well and was honest about the "highs and lows" of each neighborhood - not trying to push one neighborhood over another. We really trusted her knowledge and advice. Traci was extremely thorough in her attention to detail and responsiveness and helping explain everything to us in terms we could understand. She negotiated well for us and we closed in under a month! Throughout the whole process we felt like Traci genuinely cared about us and our needs and always had our best interest in mind. And - she were fun to work with and we felt like through her enthusiasm she really celebrated this big event in our life with us. We recommend Traci to anyone who wants a smooth, relaxed, detailed, and trustworthy home buying experience! She is the perfect combination of being genuine and professional. Thank you!
- Anne & Damon Scalfaro, Denver
I know Traci personally and know that she is thorough, knowledgeable and professional. I had no questions that she would handle the inevitable contract issues or closing hiccups. She exudes professionalism with a friendly and positive and gracious manner. Selling or Buying real estate can be stressful under even the best of conditions, Traci conducts all manner of discussions and negotiations from a professional and strong yet thoughtful and proactive stance. Everything was handled perfectly. I was advised at each step of the sale and never had a time where Traci was unable or unavailable to answer questions or discuss the intricacies of a conditional contract.

The Raptors' amazing comeback
Toronto erased a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter last night to beat Indiana, 102–99, and take a 3–2 series lead. Pacers star Paul George scored 39, but DeMar Derozan answered with 34 of his own:
Ultimately, the Pacers' bench couldn't hold onto the lead George staked them, giving up a crucial 15–2 run in the final quarter. Drake was pumped:

Applying a cold compress to the affected area, taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, drinking water and resting the joint are quick ways to relieve gout pain, according to WebMD. Using a cold compress and taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug reduces inflammation in the joint. Drinking water flushes uric acid from the body. Elevating the joint above chest level may reduce swelling.Continue Reading
A patient having a gout attack may take ibuprofen or naproxen to treat gout pain but should avoid aspirin because aspirin may worsen the attack, according to the Arthritis Foundation. The patient may also take a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug if prescribed by his doctor, and he may continue taking any prescription uric-acid lowering drugs through the attack. A doctor may give the patient a corticosteroid injection to reduce inflammation or perform a joint fluid test to confirm the gout attack diagnosis.
Other ways to treat a gout attack include walking with a cane, avoiding alcohol and avoiding foods with a high level of purine. Walking with a cane allows the patient to keep pressure off the affected joint. Alcohol reduces the body's ability to excrete uric acid from the body. Foods with high purine levels include beer, shellfish, red meats and gravies. Cutting the big toe area out of a sock and not covering the affected foot with a bed sheet also reduce gout pain by keeping pressure off the joint, describes the Arthritis Foundation.Learn more about Conditions & Diseases

Watch how to make this recipe.
For the cookie crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, orange zest and vanilla thoroughly. Add in the eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Add in the milk and mix.
In a medium bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt). Then blend this into the cream mixture. Wrap in plastic wrap and flatten into a disc, and then refrigerate for 1 hour (or freeze for 20 minutes).
Roll out the dough into one large rectangle. Then, using a 4 1/2-inch cutter, cut out circles of dough.
Bake until the cookie dough is cooked and golden brown, but not overly crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
For the topping: Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, whip together the marshmallow creme and cream cheese until light.
Serve the cooled crusts with the cream mixture and a platter of fruit. Let everyone build their own pizza by spreading the cream mixture on the crust and then decorating with as much fruit as desired!

Demand for Smart Motors to be Driven by their Promise of Improving Operational Effectiveness of Associated Devices and Networks
In this blog post, TMR analysts outline some important aspects of the global smart motors market.
Q. What features make simple electronic motors "smart"?
A. Most smart motors have a microcontroller integrated with the motor to detect the presence of load on the shaft and correspondingly adjust the speed or operations of the motor accordingly. Smart motors provide a compact package for distributed control in industrial setups, right from the capability of switching the motor on and off to self-diagnosing or monitoring its own health to relaying its operating status to central processing lines. These capabilities provide for establishing the health of the motor and its operation and help establish the future state of the motor. This not only grants the motor smart evaluation of safe working conditions, but also helps establish the health of the connected machineries and evaluate the performance of the entire production line.
Apart from basic load controlling operations, smart motors also enable cost and power effective operations owing to smart power handling mechanisms.
Q. What are the major application areas of smart motors?
A. Smart motors find major applications in sectors such as automotive, consumer electronics, production lines in industries, residential operations, and a variety of other commercial purposes. In the industrial sector, especially, smart motors are utilized across several application areas such as manufacturing, load controlling, testing, and assembling. Consumer electronic products are utilizing smart motors that guarantee maximum performance with high efficiency and reduced power consumption.
There is a plethora of consumer electronics fitted with smart motors; the latest device in line is LG's new cordless vacuum cleaner. The device uses an innovative smart inverter motor, which is known to deliver high performance with high durability and efficiency despite the compact size.
Q. What factors have led to the demand for smart motors in industries?
A. In the past few decades, everyday processes in most industries have become increasingly complex owing to the convergence of elements such as digitally advanced devices, smart sensors, and modern communication lines. Proper management or upgrading of such infrastructure may take millions of dollars of investment. Add to this scenario the rapidly changing market demands, including the diverse product expectations from consumers. A single motor failure can wreak havoc to a business' capability and potential of operating successfully to meet these goals. The capability of smart motors in relaying greater visibility into its operations and operating conditions help provide an increased level of transparency in overall industrial operations and leads to effective performance of the industrial infrastructure.
Improved visibility into the operations and operating conditions of motors in an industries, for instance, helps process supervisors in becoming more aware of the overall situation. With such information at the central processing line's disposal, processes slow down to minimize harsh effects on production and the equipment in case of the failure of a motor or the reduction of performance of one of the motors in the production line.

A Frustrated Writer
Dear Frustrated,
Theres no such thing as writers block. The cure for when you dont feel like writing is to put your ass in the chair, or so the great Nora Roberts has been heard to say. And early in my career, I agreed with her. But now I say, guilt is a wasted emotion, and life is too short to spend time doing what you dont particularly feel like doing. So if you dont feel like writing, do what you DO feel like doing. Write when you feel geared up to write.
Youll write more and better if you write when you really want to write, and do something else when you dont! When I first heard this advice, I was afraid to try it, because I worried Id never feel like sitting at the keyboard, slaving away again. But thats not how it worked. By feeding my mind and spirit with fun things, I found the urge to write came back fresh and vigorous. So my cure for writers block is to go live life for a while. Its all grist for the mill. If your gas tank is empty, you need to fill it up before you can continue on your road trip. And I think this can be applied to just about anything in life.
Ive always been a fairly fast writer, but I imagine the first novel took me eight or nine months. I like to take about six months per book now, but Ive often written books in three. The more you do a thing, the more efficient you get at it.
I cannot even imagine starting book two before book one was finished, or book three before book two was complete. I admire that you can do that. I barely know whats going to happen in the next chapter before its written, much less the next book!
Also, remember, friends who read your work and love it are wonderful, but mostly useless. They may know what they like, but theyre probably clueless about the market, whats selling today, what isnt, what the trends are, and so on, nor are they likely to have much knowledge about technique, point of view, scene setting, transitions, or even manuscript format. Get your work in front of an editor who can buy it. Thats the first reader you have to please.
Thanks so much for your kind words about my work. Best of luck with yours!

Position: SG
Team: Duke
Class: 21
Second in the nation in scoring this season, he has averaged 27.4 PPG, 2.0 RPG and 2.7 APG. Arguably the best pure shooter in the country. Has a quick release and can hit a shot from almost anywhere. His range is well beyond the NBA 3 point line. Shot over 42% beyond the 3 line, and 47.7% from the field and is automatic from the stripe. He has improved his ball fakes to help create open space for his mid range jumper. Had his worst season at the free throw line and still shot almost 88%. His defense is suspect, and will likely become a glaring weakness at the next level. He is not a PG and is an undersized 2-Guard. Nonetheless, great jump shooters will always find a place in the NBA and J.J. could go anywhere from the top 3 to the end of the first round.

Paradigm Oil and Gas Announces Joint Venture with Energy Revenue America, Inc.
Feb 20, 2013, 08:45 EST
EUSTACE, Texas, Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- (OTC PINKS: PDGO) Vince Vellardita, President of Paradigm Oil and Gas, Inc. announced today that a Joint Venture was signed with Energy Revenue America, Inc., (OTCPINK:ERAO) based in Dallas, Texas.
Paradigm Oil and Gas, Inc. has entered into a 50% Joint Venture Agreement with Energy Revenue America, Inc. to take advantage of each other's area of expertise in the Oil and Gas Industry. The objective of the joint venture is to exploit opportunities to rework and put in to production reclaimed wells that have a possibility of producing oil and gas. The first target area will be the Eastern Texas and woodbine formation which is the second largest reserves of oil in the United States. Energy Revenue America will introduce Paradigm Oil to leases in Oklahoma that are available for re-work. ERA has a 65 mile natural gas pipeline and 3,000 acres of potential producing wells and target wells for secondary recovery that are easily put back in service. Paradigm will bring to the joint venture additional options; up to 5,000 acres of land prime for re-work within the Mid Continent Region. Management of the companies believe that the venture brings the opportunity to be one of the top producers in the continent for both companies and allows an increase in potential profits by working together and give the opportunity to become one of the larger independent Oil & Gas companies in the region.
"With all of the signs pointing to a cleaner environment and more cost efficient ways to create energy; the message is clear that ERAO is in the right business!" stated Charles Havens, CEO & President of ERA.
"Having the opportunity in Natural Gas through the new venture and Paradigm Oil & Gas being in traditional Oil Production, we are now set up with three revenue streams for a Win-Win situation!" stated Vince Vellardita.
This venture will supply Paradigm Oil & Gas with a third revenue stream adding natural gas and a 65 mile pipeline. The other two revenue streams are the Centurion Technology which we have contracts on and several Oil Leases. We recently started to fire up the Clark Lease and are now waiting for approval and soon the right to sell oil from this lease. In the first days alone, we recovered close to 3,000 gallons. "I'm excited and can hardly wait to get the wells up and pumping" stated Vince Vellardita.
The venture calls for an initial investment of two million dollars cash and stock to support the first two projects. Both companies will not only benefit by increased revenue and bottom line earnings, but it will also increase shareholders' value in both Companies.
At the closing of the venture scheduled for March 30, 2013, the PDGO Shareholders will receive a dividend in Energy Revenue America (ERAO) currently trading on OTC Markets at $1.10 per share, and in return the estimated 1300 Shareholders of ERA will become Shareholders in Paradigm Oil & Gas (PDGO).
About Paradigm Oil and Gas, Inc.

Paradigm's goal is to identify oil producing wells and use modern technology to make them profitable based on modern commodity pricing.

Rose Holowka, a Tennessee woman dealing with disabilities resulting from a car accident, claims her service dog, Honey, led employees at a Goodwill shop to deny her entrance. Tennessee Goodwill's CEO has rebuffed the allegation, saying the workers were within their rights.
Holowka says she was involved in a crash in 1992 which led to epilepsy that sometimes gave her partial complex seizures. Honey helps her deal with the resulting complications, but Holowka says the fact that she has no lasting visible effects sometimes complicates the process.
"About a month ago my husband and I went to the Goodwill, and we were approached by their supervisor. We were told that we had to leave or show certification or documentation for the dog," Holowka told WCYB.
That's not a legal request, according to the national Americans with Disabilities Act, which states that "state and local governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public generally must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go."
Tennessee Goodwill CEO Bob Miller has responded, however, defending his employees' actions and pointing out that a statute in Tennessee law does permit for establishments to "request credentials" regarding service animals.
"Employees at the Goodwill store in Johnson City, TN, operated within Tennessee state law when they asked for documentation of a service dog. Since 2001, Tennessee law has allowed stores and facilities to request documentation of a service animal as part of the Americans with Disabilities Act," Miller said in a statement.
Miller went on to say that Goodwill has decided to alter its policy to be in line with the national Americans With Disabilities Act.
"We will instead follow the broader federal Americans with Disabilities Act, which allows store employees to ask a store guest if any animal present is a service animal required because of a disability and about the service or task the animal has been trained to perform," he said. "According to the ADA, you are permitted to ask these questions whenever an animal enters a facility."
Service dog discrimination is not an uncommon problem. In Canada, a 9-year-old autistic girl was barred from a store twice last year after attempting to enter with her service dog, an action not permitted under the nation's human rights law.
Also in Florida this week, 57-year-old Joseph Pineau claimed that a bouncer had refused to let him into a local bar because he had his service dog with him. The bar's owner told WFTX that he was unaware of the incident, and when it was brought to his attention, reportedly called Pineau to apologize and invite him back to the establishment.
This story has been updated to include a statement from Tennessee Goodwill CEO Bob Miller.

Nobuko Relnick received her teaching certificate from the Sogetsu Ikebana Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, in 1966. She is the owner and teacher at the Woodinville Sogetsu School of Ikebana. After moving to Seattle from Japan, she has been promoting Sogetsu Ikebana and making it available in the Northwest. She realized that since there was so much abundance of materials here in Northwest, just like Japan, it is a shame not to make use of plant materials to create Ikebana Art. She is a past president of the Seattle Chapter of Ikebana International, the retired director of Sogetsu Seattle Branch and holds the highest teaching certificate from the Sogetsu School. She also teaches Ikebana as a healing art for cancer survivors at the Cancer Lifeline Center and Evergreen Hospital in Seattle and also teaches at the Pottery Northwest near Seattle Center. She gives ikebana demonstrations and workshops to various garden clubs, schools and festivals.
Just like meditation such as yoga and prayer, we can create our own soothing atmosphere by doing ikebana. When we are creating ikebana, we will be startled by the beauty of a single blossom. We will be surprised to find our ability to create an art form with living plant materials we see every day around you. This awareness of nature-plant materials will surround us with soothing and comforting energy which is always there but we never see it clearly until we do ikebana.

Camels – The Big and Awkward Desert Animals
What animal carries a refrigerator on its back? The camel. Well, not exactly, but a camel's humps do store fat, which the camel uses for energy when food is scarce. In fact, these humps are so efficient that a camel can go for up to several months with no food. They can even survive up to one week without water.
It's a good thing camels don't need a lot of food or water because they live in one of the toughest climates on the planet. Camels have lived in the deserts of the Middle East and Africa for more than 3,000 years. The climate is hot and dry and food and water are scarce.
Fun Facts about Camels for Kids
- Dromedary camels live in the Middle East. They have one hump. Bactrian camels live only in China and Mongolia. They have two humps.
- People in the Middle East use camels like horses. They ride them and use them to carry things. Camels can carry up to 200 pounds.
- Camels look big and awkward, but they can move as fast as a horse.
- Camels have long eyelashes and a protective eyelid to keep out sand in the desert. They can even close their nostrils.
Camel Vocabulary
- Refrigerator: a box for storing food
- Survive: live
- Climate: a region's weather
- Awkward: clumsy
- Protective: offers protection
