Are you designing for testability? If you think that even simple designs don't need test points, you are wrong.
Circuit scale continues to follow Moore's Law, even to this day. When 0403 becomes 0201 and then becomes 010005, the scale is almost beyond direct human manipulation. At these sizes, using component solder connections as a test point is possible but unserviceable. "But the design is just a simple RC circuit, no need for a test point." No, seriously, this is the wrong mindset. Designs change, expand, conflict, and errors abound in early versions. Catching errors early will save 10 to 1,000 times the money to solve. Due diligence ahead of time is key.
There are few inevitabilities in life -- death, bills, taxes -- and problematic designs should be added to that list. That said, Design for Testability (DFT) is essential in these days of system on a chip (SoC) and components that are smaller than the point of a needle.
The requirements stage of any design is the most critical. An error in this stage will snowball complications and cost more to fix later. Let us assume this stage is done thoroughly and correctly. The next important stage of the Product Life Cycle (PLC) is the design phase. This is where the true inception of the product/design, the true initial error, is created. It's unavoidable. After which, that error could snowball throughout manufacturing/assembly and become extremely costly by the test/integrations phase.
To put the concept more scientifically, NASA published a report called "Error Cost Escalation through the Project Life Cycle." An error at the requirements stage was given an arbitrary "1 unit." The costs to fix the error during the design phase ticks up to "3 to 8 units." If that same error was addressed at the manufacturing stage, the cost then moved up to "7 to 16 units."
Addressing that error during the test and integration phase brings the cost up to "21 to 78 units." Fixing an error after a product has been released into the market would cost "29 units" to a whopping "1,500 units."
At $240 a day ($30 per hour), an engineer could fix a problem for 3 units, or $720. Let it go to the public, and it could reach 1,500 units, or $360,000 to smooth out that wrinkle. The design phase is the gateway point, bridging ideas with the real world. It is extremely critical to stop the dominoes of error from falling any further past this point.
There are many points in the product life cycle that can introduce errors, but not every point is a hardware engineer's concern. The engineering ringmaster of the hardware design phase has the most critical job. Software can easily change on a whim, hardware cannot. Unfortunately, poorly structured software can affect the system so harshly that the hardware design will be questioned. Even if software is not involved, it would behoove the hardware ringmaster to plan ahead, make the worst case assumptions, and plan to test every aspect of the hardware, no matter how simple the design.
Luckily, most PCB layout programs can help supply test points automatically. It's the simplest form of DFT a hardware designer can apply to their designs.
Altium Designer, the low-priced, full-featured circuit design suite, has what they call the Testpoint System. Buried deep in the software package features tree, the Testpoint System allows the user to automate the process in applying test contacts. Of course, manually setting points is always an option. Altium 3 suggests considering where, and how many, test points are assigned to a PCB to save cost. As shown above by NASA engineers, the earlier an error is caught, the cheaper it is. So, in this case, don't listen to Altium. Spare no expense in the design phase.
Altium has test point style and usage guides for both the fabrication and assembly stages of the design cycle. Altium's "Design Rules" lets the user set some "well-honed set of design rules." This translates overt to the PCB editor to constrain the schematic and allow the "autorouter" to build the PCB for the DFT goals. The "Testpoint Manager" guides the user in sorting what could be up to thousands of test point pads or vias. After all points are set, the "Design Rule Checking" feature of Altium ensures that all test points adhere to the original set of Design Rules. Unfortunately, as of right now, Altium does not have a global manipulation of test points.
PCB traces and test points are one thing, but testing today's SoCs or even dense and complex ICs is another. Building a circuit with test points around the chip is not the best way of identifying errors in the overall system; a SoC is an elaborate system of its own. Analysis has to go deeper.
Circuits today can be intimidatingly large. Fear of applying DFT practices at this scale is a mere aversion to the work. Automated testing like that found in Cadence's Encounter products is a great start. Mixing it with good, old manual testing will give the best overall outcome.
Keep in mind, automated testing is not without its possible issues. DFT is a focus on testing at every point in the development stage. Collaboration between everyone in the chain of development is a good way to identify more areas that need attention for testing. Regardless of the results in testing options, manual or automatic, be thorough. Spend every dollar now in testing, or possibly lose every dollar of the profits.

Visually, Secret Missions of WWII looks great. The clouds and atmosphere are all done well and the planes all look accurate. Even more impressive, however, is the way that the ground looks from the air. Each of the varied stages looks positively dizzying from the plane, which is a testament to how well the grounds are crafted. The sound effects are well done too, giving accurate sounding portrayals of weapons fire and airplane engines. The voice acting is decent, though not particularly noteworthy.
Even after finishing the campaign, the game does offer multiplayer. There is the old standby, Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch as well as some more specialized modes. Aces High is a game like tag, where only by killing the "Ace" can anyone score. Kamikaze pits players against waves of kamikaze fighters attempting to attack a base, and Seek and Destroy charges everyone with killing all other participants at least once to score. The multiplayer modes are a fun addition and add a great amount of replayability to the gameplay.
Overall, Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII of WWII is a fun game to play and a definite improvement over the original. If you enjoy or are interested in flight based combat games that are simulation heavy, Secret Missions of WWII offers enough fun to make you forget the missteps of the original.

She Can See This Disaster From Her House
If Republicans lose the Alaska Senate race, they'll have Sarah Palin to thank.
Democrats might long remember 2014 as the year when Sarah Palin won a place in their hearts. Four years ago, an endorsement by the former governor and vice-presidential contender vaulted Joe Miller from obscurity to Republican primary winner in the U.S. Senate race in Alaska, defeating incumbent Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski. In the general election, Murkowski ran again as a write-in Republican, and won. Miller sank between the primary and the general election, helped along to his demise by eagerly reported news accounts of improprieties, including his security detail's handcuffing of a journalist.
Although Miller narrowly lost his bid for the Senate, he parlayed Palin's endorsement into national name recognition, what he calls a "top-ranked" Internet news site ("Restoring Liberty" at joemiller.us) and a small but intensely loyal local following—the kinds of people who are "looking for the Ted Cruzes, the Mike Lees, the Rand Pauls." Miller is running again this year in the Republican primary for the right to oppose incumbent Sen. Mark Begich—one of the most endangered Democrats of the 2014 midterms and a key takedown target for Republicans.
Story Continued Below
Yet by an unusual arrangement of events, Miller is actually poised to seal Begich's re-election, protect the Democrats' Senate majority and prevent the repeal of Obamacare. And it's all thanks to Sarah Palin.
By most logic, Begich ought to be in trouble. After all, he first became a senator in 2008 due to a stroke of fate. Ted Stevens, the Republican incumbent, had been indicted and convicted of graft, yet Begich still only won in a squeaker, by just 4,000 votes. In 2012, Mitt Romney took the deep-red state by 15 percentage points—and President Barack Obama has only become less popular since then.
The GOP primary, which will be held in August, is still very much in flux. Several polls show that the two chief Republican candidates, Dan Sullivan and Mead Treadwell, are ahead of Miller and are breathing down Begich's neck.
Treadwell, the current lieutenant governor, has an accomplished career in business and government and degrees from Yale and Harvard. Sullivan, along with stints as Alaska's attorney general and as a state national resources commissioner, previously served as U.S. assistant secretary of state and as an officer in the Marine Corps. His degrees are from Harvard and Georgetown.
Begich's main achievement, by contrast, apart from his present office, was serving as mayor of Anchorage. He has no educational credentials beyond his high-school diploma, thus earning the dubious distinction of being the only U.S. senator who didn't go to college.
But resumes don't win political contests. Begich might not have fancy degrees under his belt, but he learned electoral politics for years in the unforgiving hard-knocks school of local government. As a Democrat in deep-red Alaska, he has had to hone his political fighting skills to gain and hold office. His opponents are much less experienced. Treadwell is a veteran of only one campaign, which was successful, but was hardly as challenging as an average year in Begich's long Alaskan political career. Sullivan has never run for office before now.
The Begich campaign's messaging is timely, disciplined and clever. Take, for example, his attacks on Treadwell, who hews more closely to the policy positions of George W. Bush on national security than to the Republican Party's libertarian faction, which is particularly strong in Alaska. When Treadwell announced his candidacy in June 2013, Begich ran ads reminding Alaskans that he disliked the Patriot Act and opposed President Obama's surveillance state. He has also smartly distanced himself from the president on gun control, another hot-button issue in Alaska, and Obamacare, where his line has been "let's fix what is wrong, and keep what is right." When asked in January if he'd want Obama to hit the trail on his behalf, Begich said, "I don't need him campaigning for me, I need him to change some of his policies."
Two recent speeches at the University of Alaska further underscore why nobody should discount Begich's chances.
Treadwell, who spoke on Nov. 7, showed a strong command of policy. He knows his principles well and demonstrates a deep and broad mind. He is equally comfortable in the company of intellectuals, business leaders or officers of government, and is widely recognized as a good man. In another age, he would be seen as a genuine statesmen. But glad-handing and kissing babies are clearly not his strong suit. His speech—a thoughtful address on Alaska's potential and its struggle with federal government interference—didn't do much to rouse the crowd.

Sheltering Delhi's Freezing Homeless
By Fahad Shah and Anant Vijay Kala
On Sunday evening, a middle-aged man staying in a homeless shelter in central Delhi was rushed to hospital after he collapsed, apparently due to the biting cold that has gripped the Indian capital.
A caretaker at the shelter near Connaught Place said the man, who was about 43-years-old, had fainted a few times that day. An ambulance rushed him to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital for treatment.
This wasn't an isolated case. Of the roughly 17 million people who live in Delhi, a quarter of a million are homeless, according to some estimates. Many sleep on footpaths or in makeshift tents on roadsides. The Delhi government says only 9,000 get to spend the cold winter nights in shelters.
The thousands left without shelter are now contending with some of coldest nights Delhi has experienced in recent years, with temperatures dropping close to zero degrees Celsius. There simply isn't room to accommodate them. In nearby Uttar Pradesh state, more than 100 people have died of exposure.
There are 150 night shelters in Delhi, 84 temporary and 66 permanent. Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board oversees the shelters, at a cost of 70 million rupees ($1.3 million) a year. The shelters are maintained by around 50 local NGOs, which are paid 31,600 rupees ($580) a month per shelter by the DUSIB. The board disperses funds to the NGOs for temporary shelters through Mother NGO , a project run by the city's St. Stephen's Hospital. The funds for permanent shelters are dispersed by the board directly to the NGOs.
Mr. Prahlad, a caretaker at the shelter near Connaught Place, says it is packed at night, housing as many as 65-70 people, approaching double its capacity. The intense cold is forcing many homeless people to take refuge there. "If we get people looking for a place to sleep, we don't refuse. But now it has got severely overcrowded," he said.
The shelter only has 40 mattresses and 100 blankets, but as many as three or four blankets are needed to sufficiently protect one person from the chill. Mr. Prahlad said occupants are being forced to make do with one or two blankets.
The metal shelter has gaps in the walls letting in cold air. Residents complain that the four temporary toilets aren't working as the drains are clogged. Garbage has also been piling up as municipal staff hasn't visited for days. One occupant called Anil said complaints to municipal staff have gone unheeded. He says he has been at the shelter for the past four months since arriving from Punjab looking for work.
Shivani Chaudhary, who works with an NGO called Shahri Adhikar Manch: Begharon Ke Saath, says facilities are abject at many of the 150 night shelters. The blankets provided at the temporary shelters, she says, are worn out and rarely washed.
A permanent shelter in Chandni Chowk, maintained by the Children Welfare Society NGO, houses around 175 people every night even though it has space for only 150. Occupants are provided free food, according to the caretaker. The shelter, in the second storey of a government building, is divided into two sections, one hall for elderly men and two rooms for others. It doesn't have space for women or families.
A.K. Sharma, the director of night shelters for DUSIB, says homeless people can stay in temporary, prefab shelters for free, while the permanent shelters cost six rupees a night. "The average occupancy has been 9,000 persons a night in all 150 shelters," he says.
Temporary shelters, such as two near Meena Bazar in Old Delhi, are also overcrowded, unsurprisingly. There are 150 people sleeping at these shelters even though they only have the capacity for 100, caretakers say. The semi-furnished structures have drinking water and toilet facilities.
The men's shelter gets overcrowded at night with people sleeping under blankets on mattresses arranged in rows. A caretaker, Mohammad Sohrab, sitting at the door of the shelter behind an electric heater, says that generally rickshaw pullers, laborers, beggars and construction workers come here.
"In winters, as the weather gets rough, large numbers of people come to find shelter," he says.
The DUSIB says it hasn't received requests for more shelters, but if it does, it will consider them. "If the Delhi Development Authority provides us land we will start more permanent shelters," Mr. Sharma said.
There are some private facility providers too. One is situated near Meena Bazar and run by Mukhtar Ahmed, a tea-stall owner originally from Bihar. He has around 100 beds and rents them at 30 rupees a night.
Conditions are tough in Delhi's shelters, but people there are better off than the many others who sleep out on the streets.
Mohammad Haneef, a rickshaw puller in Old Delhi, earns about 300 rupees a day. He pays 50 rupees to the rickshaw owner every day, spends 100 rupees on food and saves the rest. But Mr. Haneef, who is originally from the Bihar, says he still can't afford the private services providers and government shelters have no space. He sleeps on a footpath.
Ashok Srivastava and his wife Sudhi Devi sleep outside the Hanuman Mandir temple complex. They survive by begging near temples and other popular sites like India Gate. Aside from a worn out blanket, they have very little to protect themselves from the cold.
"It has got extremely cold this year. We need blankets to cover us but who do we ask?" Mr. Srivastava says.

Michael Schumacher spent a lot of time testing the 430 Scuderia when it was being developed, carefully applying the method that made him unique on the racetrack for many years. All the ingredients were there: a light and powerful car, comfortable and ergonomic, with an incredible weight/power ratio; ground-effect aerodynamics, which makes the car more effective, at higher speeds; powerful quick-response braking guaranteed by callipers and carbo-ceramic discs, and in particular the manettino mounted on the steering wheel that allows the driver to adjust the car set-up according to the driver's requirements. During his racing career, the seventimes World Champion's work on the manettino and steering wheel-mounted controls, in close association with the engineers and electricians, was one of the reasons for his extraordinary success on the racing track. Schumacher's suggestions have also had a profound infl uence in the development of Ferrari Formula 1 steering wheels in recent years.Read more
This is why, when you saw him at the wheel of the 430 Scuderia on the old Nürburgring, you instantly knew what he was looking for in his continuous, methodical adjustments of the controls that coordinate gear change timing, traction, suspension compliance and stability.
This model has therefore profited from the incomparable sensitivity of this driver throughout its development. And now this experience is available for everyone.
Lightweight, simple and striking, with a distinctive engine and exhaust sound: every last detail of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia exudes uncompromising sportiness, born of its close links to the world of racing, a world reflected in its very name. Seven-times World Champion, Michael Schumacher, was also involved in the car's development – and now the most advanced single-seater ever built is available to Ferrari's most passionate Clients.
The style of the interior is typical of a racing car with the predominant aim of reducing weight and using specifi cally suited, technical materials. The central tunnel has been purposely designed and manufactured in carbon fi bre, as have the interior door panels.Read more
The floor is manufactured anti-slip aluminium footwells and has some unlined metallic parts to expose the actual bodywork; the seats are completely new and also designed for extra support in extreme driving conditions. The instrument display is fully functional and has its own specifi c graphic design. All the interior and upholstery are made of "3D" and Alcantara® technical cloth. The new "Super Racing" seat deserves special mention.
It is made entirely from carbonfi bre, is manually adjustable and is available in different sizes. The sides are lined in racing fabric and match the "3D" material which breathes easily and provides additional levels of grip.
The concept of the 430 Scuderia and its enhanced performance and dynamic capabilities meant that a number of internal and external style features have been re-evaluated. The objective was to produce a model which is a direct descendant from the F430 project while using style features to satisfy the requirements of aerodynamic effi ciency, inherent in a car conceived for maximum performance levels.Read more
Particularly extensive modifi cations have been made to the exterior with signifi cant efforts to enhance downforce. The 430 Scuderia has front vents with a larger design and a more distinctive style, with widemeshed metallic grilles. Work in the Wind Tunnel helped to re-defi ne the lower profi le of the bumpers and the chin spoiler to enhance the car's front-end downforce.
The lateral radiator vents, with increased dimensions, have a new shape. An important contribution comes from the vehicle's unifi ed appearance: a new shade of grey was used to give character to the grille and the central part of the front,the headlight units, wheel trims and racing stripes (optional) that define the length of the car's body. The overall effect is one of balanced colouring befi tting the vehicle's racing mission.
The side profi le immediately highlights the lower attitude of the 430 Scuderia (15 mm lower than the F430), the newly styled front sills with larger air intakes to the engine compartment and the new wheel trims with a light, functional design. New carbon-fi bre wing mirrors provide the fi nishing touch to the style features aimed at reducing weight. The rear of the car also has specifi c aerodynamic features: the rear spoiler with its prominent profi le and the rear diffuser, which has been completely re-designed to improve effi ciency, and to balance the downforce created by the new design at the front. Also new is the rear bumper which houses the high exhaust pipes, modelled on the version used in the Ferrari Challenge races with the successful F430 Challenge race car.
Careful research on reducing weight has led to extensive use of carbonfi bre. Certain elements have been manufactured using this material like the engine intake manifold, the separators and air fi lter boxes as well as parts of the car.
F1-SuperFast2 is the latest development in the F1 Gear used on all Ferrari models. Reducing the time needed to change gears, expressed and calculated as an interruption to acceleration (not merely as the time required to select a new gear) is based on the "parallelization" concept of the times necessary for the various operations:
- cutting torque and disengaging the clutch;
- disengaging, selecting and engaging the gear;
- engaging the clutch and returning torque.
These operations are usually performed sequentially. With the F1-SuperFast2, a fully integrated and totally innovative software management system for the engine and gear-shift system allows the gears to be disengaged/engaged at the same time as the clutch is opened and closed. The result is that the 430 Scuderia benefi ts from a further-reduced gear-change time which can be as low as 60 ms.
This fi gure, the shortest in the Ferrari range, guarantees maximum sports-car feel, but without penalising the comfort of the driver or passenger. The 430 Scuderia transmission maintains the rear, longitudinal 6-speed architecture (plus reverse), all equipped with multiconal synchronizers, which assure excellent performance when changing gears. The gears and bevel type fi nal drive have been modifi ed both in speed ratio and geometry in order to optimize the application of the torque delivered by the engine which guarantees faster acceleration.
The integrated E-Diff in the gearchange is undoubtedly the most signifi cant feature in making the 430 Scuderia drive like a racing car. This device has been used for many years in Formula 1, where it is also integrated into the vehicle's stability control systems. After the F430, the 430 Scuderia is the first on-the-road car with outstanding performances to have an electronically-controlled differential unit. The torque is intelligently distributed to the wheels via the hydraulic implementation of a stack of clutch discs and their relative reaction discs. This occurs in direct relation to the driving conditions (accelerator pedal, steering angle, change of direction speed, difference in wheel speed), by transferring the power across the axle according to driving conditions to maintain performance, directional stability, active safety and driving pleasure. Fully integrated with the car's other systems (Engine, F1 Gear Change, CST, ABS, electronic suspension system and F1- Trac), the E-Diff allows the set-up to be varied according to the driver's demands and road conditions and is regulated by the manettino on the steering wheel.Read more
Like the E-Diff, F1-Trac traction control system is directly derived from experience gained with F1 cars. The system also allows a less expert driver to take the vehicle "to its limits" in terms of cornering, safety and stability. Introduced for the fi rst time on road vehicles with the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, it is faster and more precise than a traditional control system and allows constant modulation of the engine torque to ensure that the desired trajectory is maintained. The system is capable of estimating the maximum levels of traction availabile by continually monitoring the relative speed of the wheels and through a self-adapting system function logic. By making a comparison with a model of the vehicle's dynamics, stored in the control system, F1-Trac optimizes the delivery of engine torque to ensure to maximum effectiveness of how the power is transmitted to the wheels.
This system guarantees:
- maximum propulsion when coming out of curves;
- stability and ease in driving even in extreme driving conditions; – consistency in performance;
- driving comfort.
The result of this E-Diff and F1-Trac combination, compared to a traditional traction and stability control system, is shown by a 40% increase in acceleration when exiting corners. The greater potential provided by the F1- Trac can be best exploited when driving in racetrack conditions with excellent road-holding (RACE), achieving:
- near – professional driving performances even from less expert drivers (40% increased acceleration, coming out of bends);
- intervention comfort (reductions of vibrations or oscillations).
The F1- Trac potential can also be exploited on high and average roadholding surfaces, achieving:
- increased performance compared to traditional control systems (acceleration coming out of bends- up 20%);
- greater comfort and intervention safety (15% reduction in system's vibrations).
In respect to the manettino dial already used on Ferrari cars, the one on the 430 Scuderia is termed a "Racing manettino"; so it is particularly suitable for fast driving on racetracks, offering greater opportunities for electronic control parameter settings. Compared to the F430, the ICE setting has been removed in favour of the
CT setting which only deactivates the traction control, while leaving the stability control engaged.
The manettino dial settings and the relative conditions of use are as follows:
Maximum safety in all conditions,particularly recommended when road surface is wet or slippery.
Guaranteed safety when roadholding is good, best setting for every-day on-the-road use.
maximum performance and stability in perfect road-holding conditions, particularly recommended on racetracks.
this setting turns off the vehicle's traction control system, to allow wheelspin, while maintaining the stability control to ensure a sufficient level of safety is maintained.
with this setting, the traction and stability controls are switched off to allow the driver maximum freedom and driving control on the racetrack. No electronic device acts on the vehicle's stability, except for the E-Diff.
According to the specifi c driving conditions and driver preferences the suspension damping control of the 430 Scuderia can be separated from the default logic of the manettino dial using a specific switch located in the tunnel.
This function provides a higher level of comfort over uneven road surfaces (e.g. Nürburgring) or a more relaxed style of driving when on the motorway.
The integration between aerodynamics and design has allowed significant improvements in aerodynamic efficiency compared to the F430 by increasing the overall downforce whilst maintaining the same drag coefficient. This development was mainly carried out in the Ferrari Wind Tunnel on a 1:3 scale modular models.
A extensive number of configurations were tested and the configuration which was finally chosen was optimised right down to the smallest detail during track tests.
The efficiency of the new rear diffuser has been increased by the revised profile of the rear lip spoiler on the engine compartment cover and by the air ducts that channel air from the rear wheel arch to the rear bumper, creating a washing effect of the overpressure in the wheel arches ("Base Bleed" patent, developed by Ferrari in the FXX project).
The new lower sills allow a more even pressure distribution underneath the car, thereby generating an increase downforce which is evenly distributed between the front and rear. In this configuration, the shape of 430 Scuderia has an increase in vertical downforce, from 75 kg at 150 km/h, to more than 300 kg at maximum speed.
The sound of the engine and exhaust is one of the distinctive features of all Ferraris and cars bearing the Prancing Horse and has always been a fundamental factor in creating the strong bond between the car and its driver and increasing driving pleasure.Read more
This is achieved by paying particular attention to the levels and quality of sound in order to guarantee a comfortable noise level in all situations, with the use of particularly advanced calculation instruments and virtual simulators which worked on the air intake, exhaust and sound-proofing functions. Specifi c devices, called resounders, have been introduced into the air intake system to modulate and emphasize the engine's voice, while the exhaust system is a direct descendant of the F430 Challenge and F430 with high exhaust pipes.
Just like the F430, the Scuderia uses by-pass valves with variable geometry. This system has been specifi cally improved in relation to the acoustic objectives set for the car. The sound of the engine is heard cleary inside the car, becoming particularly powerful and invigorating when you put your foot down, when the intake and exaust sounds become dominant.
The braking system of 430 Scuderia with larger carbon-ceramic brake discs has been specifi cally designed to reflect to the car's increased performance which required an overall increase in the braking performance compared to the F430.
The system includes:
- front disc brake measuring 15.6 x 1.4 in with one-block 6-pots aluminium callipers with a 30/34/38 diameter;
- rear disc brake measuring 13.7 x 1.3 in with 4-pots aluminium callipers with a 38/42 diameter.Read more
The front discs with a larger diameter (+ 0.7 in compared to the F430) increase the braking effi ciency and have been specifi cally designed to allow the correct heat dispersion while also providing an increased resistance to brake-fade. These components, together with the front 6-pots callipers, assure consistent and excellent performance on the racetrack.
The brake pedal feel has been optimised for all driving conditions and remains consistent even in extreme situations on the racetrack. Furthermore, the characteristics of the Carbon-Ceramic (CCM) material ensure that no vibration occurs when pushed to maximum performance unlike the traditional braking systems which often suffer from vibration under full load.
The adoption of the ESP 8.0 CPU has reduced processing times by about 15 per cent and has also optimised the calibration of the CST/ABS systems for the CCM brakes, thus ensuring maximum brake performance.

One of the main characteristics which unites all Ferrari customers is their desire for road cars which feature technology which has been developed by the company's success in Formula 1. In 1997, Ferrari were the first in the world to launch an F1-style automated manual gearbox on a production car with the 355; Ferrari were again the first in the world to use Carbon-Ceramic technology for braking systems, first on the Enzo in 2002, then, on the Challenge Stradale in 2003 and, today, on the entire production line.Read more
These are only two examples of how the technology developed by the company's racing cars is constantly being transferred to the GT cars.
Further technologies which have been developed by the company's racing experience are the greatly reduced gear change timing and the use of electronics in the traction control and differential. The exhaustive study of sophisticated aerodynamics which started in 1994 with the introduction of ground effects on the F355 also derives from the Formula 1. The 430 Scuderia is, once again, light-years ahead in its application of innovative ideas aimed at maximising performance and thrills when driving to bring it even closer to the world of single-seaters.

I have no idea what the phrase 'rate of induction' means
It means that light will always find the shortest Time Path through any given medium.
I also don't know what the concept 'time path' is,
What's really happening is that the electromagnetic fields induced by the oscillating charges within each individual atom/molecule in the medium are competing to entrain the light to move at a speed of c with respect to these charges. How this affects the velocity of light can be understood by breaking this oscillation down into vibration parallel to a ray of light and vibration transverse to it...

Providers In New Jersey Treating Medication Management
Josefina Sta Romana
Trusting a psychiatrist with your innermost thoughts and emotions after reading their online profile is quite a challenging task . Here is a summary of what I'm all about , to help you decide if I am the right behavioral health professional for you . I am a board certified psychiatrist with 18 years of clinical experience helping adults from all walks of life. I completed my psychiatry residency at Brown University in Providence, RI where I learned the art and science of psychiatry. I am a licensed physician in 12 states (OH, FL, CA, AZ PA, NY, NJ, IN, MN, WI, GA, RI) . I help people with medications , if necessary , and supportive psychotherapy. I believe the treatment plan should be tailor-made for each individual after a collaborative discussion between the doctor and the patient. My therapeutic style is eclectic, practical , non-judgmental and direct to the point . I want to focus on the " here and now" --on your present life and how you can manage it. In my opinion, dwelling on and rehashing the past is not helpful. Some of my colleagues may disagree with this. I want to focus on helping you learn the tools you can use to manage what troubles you . My ultimate goal is for you to be happy, independent and resilient and not to be overly dependent on the therapist. In my practice, I abide by ethical guidelines established by the American Telemedicine Association and American Psychiatric Association . I do not have any ties to the pharmaceutical industry nor do I receive any freebies from them ( not even pens) so my medication recommendations are free of bias. " Primum non nocere" ( " First Do No Harm") - a phrase I learned in medical school- is what drives my professional style. If I don't think medications are appropriate for you, that's what I'd tell you I will never prescribe any medication that can do more harm than good. Telepsychiatry has its limitations compared to traditional face-to-face appointments. Due to this issue, I do not offer crisis counseling nor emergency services. Your privacy as well as mine are extremely important to me. I only use HIPAA secure videoconferencing equipment and secure email messaging through the Vsee Clinic platform . I also use a HIPAA secure non-email -based fax service to ensure patient confidentiality in case I need to fax something for you . The computer I use for my telepsychiatry sessions is protected by a firewall and 2 internet security software to deter hackers. I scan my computer on a regular basis to check for viruses, malware and spyware. If you think I am the right behavioral health provider for you, please read the following before making an appointment. PATIENTS I TREAT: I only see patients 18 years old and older I will not see my friends and family members in my practice due to professional boundary issues. Due to its limitations, direct-to-consumer telepsychiatry is not for everyone. Severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder , developmental disorders with behavioral issues , cognitive disorders, are best treated in a traditional in-person setting. I can't see you in my telepsychiatry practice if you are experiencing any of the following: frequent suicidal thoughts with plan , violent thoughts , recent multiple suicide attempts, recent aggressive behaviors, severe and uncontrollable auditory and/or visual hallucinations , paranoid delusions. SCHEDULING: Evening and weekend appointments are available. Same-day appointments may be available. To schedule an appointment online , please go to https://app.luminello.com/josefinastaromanamd/form , complete the screening form and request an appointment. In your appointment request, list your preferred appointment days and times ( in your time zone) and I'll try to accommodate your request. You can also send me a message here on Breakthrough.com or call me with your appointment request. I need 1 hour appointments for initial psychiatric intake evaluation , 1 hour for psychotherapy follow up appointment with medication management ( if you're on psychiatric medications), 30 minute follow up appointments if you want to be seen for medication management only and you prefer to see a different therapist CANCELLATION POLICY: If you're unable to keep your appointment, please call at least 24 hours in advance to cancel and reschedule it so that other patients looking for open appointments can use that time slot. PAYMENT OPTIONS: Sorry , I do not accept any health insurance plans in my telepsychiatry practice , only those plans that cover MDLive services. If your insurance plan covers out-of-network providers, I can provide you with documentation you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. I accept the following credit cards : Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Diners Club. Credit card transactions are processed by stripe.com through my website https://uspsychiatrist.vsee.me/u/jstaromanamd I also accept ACH transfers, Zelle, Paypal, as well as cryptocurrency (bitcoin, ethereum , and litecoin) My website is e-commerce secure . MEDICAL TESTS: If not recently done by your other physicians, I need to check blood tests for your own safety . I want to make sure you do not have any medical problems that cause behavioral symptoms such as thyroid disease, blood disorders, vitamin deficiencies, etc . Some medications require regular blood tests to monitor medication levels and/or side effects . Safety first. You can have the required lab tests done care of your primary care provider or I can order them for you and you can have it done at any lab near you. For Georgia residents: GA state law mandates an annual face to face physical exam if you are under the care of a telemedicine provider. Please make sure you have a primary care provider who can do an annual physical for you and I will coordinate your care with him /her . This should satisfy the GA state requirement. PRESCRIPTION POLICY: All prescriptions are sent electronically. If you need refills, please contact me at least 24 hours before you actually run out of meds. Sorry, I DO NOT prescribe controlled substances like benzodiazepines ( such as Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin, Valium) some sleep meds ( like Ambien, Sonata, Lunesta) and stimulants ( like Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta ) . I firmly believe these controlled substances can't be safely prescribed in a direct-to-consumer telepsychiatry setting . Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about me and/or my practice. Thanks for reading my profile. I hope to see you soon. Take care!

What you need to know before you go
Liverpool revels in its reputation as one of England's friendliest and most photogenic cities. Its jaw-dropping, Gothic Revival-style cathedral is one of the world's largest churches, while its UNESCO-listed waterfront is a shimmering source of local pride, and home to an eclectic array of museums, cafes and restaurants.
Liverpool certainly knows how to party, with pulsing superclubs, cosy pubs and a warmly welcoming LGBT quarter all clamouring for your custom once the sun goes down. As you might expect, there's also a thriving live music scene, with plucky up-and-comers determined to follow in the footsteps of local legends like The Beatles.

Richard Kelley started out his career as a fully accredited F1 photographer in 1972 at the United States Grand Prix. He quickly adopted his characteristic 'fly on the wall' style of photography – getting as close as he could to the moments, without influencing the emotion or drama of the moment. He witnessed and recorded hidden moments that became pivotal incidents in Grand Prix history.
Richard's images have sat unpublished for more than 30 years and we're proud to release these stunning limited edition prints for sale.
This photo captures the Ferrari team - as described by Richard:
"The flanks of the Ferrari 312 T2 serve as a table for the Scuderia Ferrari mechanics' traditional pasta and Lambrusco dinner as they pause to eat during a long-night's preparation of the car for the 1977 United States Grand Prix. They traveled as one, spending more time together than with their families. This was their sacred time to bond and to share a tradition; breaking bread and launching into song over their racing car before the next day's battle."
The black & white photo is professionally printed and framed with a black frame and white mount and features a hand-written limited edition number.
The framed print measures 55cm x 75cm and is protected with museum-grade perspex 'artscreen' instead of glass - you won't be able to tell the difference when it's hanging on your wall.
Limited edition of 50 prints.

But Pallavi Ghayalod is looking to change that, one cook at a time. Ghayalod, grew up near Mumbai, India and moved to the United States shortly after she and her husband were married when she was 19. That was 17 years ago, and the couple now have two children and have lived all over the country, including in Cincinnati, Phoenix, Miami and New York.
In each place, Ghayalod wondered if she had found the true America.
"There were so many flavors and textures, so much exposure," she says. Then, a number of years ago, the couple moved to East Quogue (they first came out to explore the Hamptons after seeing it highlighted on episodes of "Sex and the City" and fell in love with the area). After settling here, Ghayalod was surprised to find great interest in the food of her homeland.
"My girlfriends said they love Indian food. We would go to go to Queens or Hicksville to get it. Then they said can you teach us?" recalls Ghayalod.
"I wasn't seriously looking at food, even as a hobby," recalls Ghayalod. "But then my kids' friends would say, 'Mrs. G.' do you have cars in India?' They weren't aware of what was going on there."
"So I started making platters of Indian food to make them listen to me. I would give them a taste of chicken tandoori and say you can ask me anything," she says. "These second and third graders would say, 'Do you still have elephants there?' And I would say, 'Yes, but my dad has a Mercedes.'"
"It started as a curiosity."
So Ghayalod took a food service management course to teach people how to cook. Though she's not yet interested in opening a restaurant on the East End, she does frequently teach courses to friends and other locals interested in the food of India, as well as chefs looking to add an Indian component to their dishes.
Tonight, Ghayalod offer will offer "Cooking an Indian Meal From A to Z" at Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton. It's her second presentation at the library. The first time around, Ghayalod wasn't sure anyone would come. But, she notes, 50 people registered in advance and 70 showed up at the library.
She acknowledges that while Indian cuisine can be an amalgam of complex flavors, the secret to making successful dishes for beginners is keeping things simple.
"One of the main things I want to make sure is that it's easy," she says. "Everything can be bought at Stop and Shop or King Kullen. When I choose the dishes, I want to make sure they're not too complex. If there's too much flavor, some people will get repelled by it."
"Just like celery, onions and carrot is the base of all French cooking, ginger, garlic and onions are the base of Indian, then you build up flavors from them," she explains. "Try by starting with cumin and one more flavor. That's the best part of Indian food. If you don't feel like a certain spice, take it out."
"When you try to make it, deconstruct it, pick out the flavors and focus on what you do like," advises Ghayalod. "For example, I can't stand cinnamon in chicken curry. I think that's what happened to people who are turned off by it. They had really bad Indian food where a restaurant cooked up something from yesterday and gave it to you today. The entire culture seen in a single plate."
Ghayalod also hopes to dispel the notion that Indian food is always very spicy. In fact, dishes are easily tamed down, particularly for children who don't yet have the palette for hot food.
"That's something you can control," she explains. "Yogurt is very soothing and used in many dishes. And there's always the protocol of naan [bread] and rice, a cream based dish, dal [lentils], that's like the traditional stuff and not spicy."
Indian food, she notes, is also well balanced nutritionally, with meals including just a small bit of rice, bread and a few small main vegetable or meat dishes. Unlike the way Americans tend to eat, meat is often a very minor part of the meal — a few cubes included in a gravy that really is the focus of a dish.
"The idea of this whole steak sitting in front of you is extreme," she says. "Although I love it, any extreme is not good for you."
Ghayalod explains that the philosophy (and economics) of food are different in India where no part of an animal goes to waste. Because of that, there is a lot of variety and texture in Indian cooking and different parts of the animal that are baked, boiled and stewed.
"Meat is handled differently because it's a hot and humid climate," says Ghayalod. "You can't store food in India like you can here. You have to finish the meat off right away or it will go bad. That's why there are so many dishes – the animal must be used."
Though modern refrigeration methods have changed all that, the tradition tends to remain. For adventurous cooks, Ghayalod notes that as the palette grows, so too can the list of spices and heat incorporated into Indian cuisine. And it's not just the exotic and interesting combination of spices that make the foods so intriguing. Ghayalod explains that the traditional herbs also have a medicinal component that dates back centuries in India.
"Indian food has a direct connection to Ayurvedic healing," she explains. "Turmeric is considered good for Alzheimer's, ginger helps digestion and healing, cinnamon is good for diabetes, and there's a traditional Indian drink — ginger and cumin — that cleanses your system."
Ghayalod is also intrigued by learning more about the science of spices which is not something that has been explored in India, but is a focus in the United States. In fact, the Herb Society of America, which has a chapter on Long Island, has approached Ghayalod about documenting the science of Indian spices.
Though at most Indian restaurants, it's the men who do the cooking, the real flavors of the cuisine, says Ghayalod, come from matriarchal lineage and recipes are passed down from mothers and grandmothers.
"As a woman, you assume your husband's family recipes and make what your mother- in-law makes," she says. "But as women we bring in our own flair. For example, my family loves my lentil soup."
"We still have a family gathering in India where 53 people come together at once for a Pooja, a traditional prayer," explains Ghayalod. "The day before the women get together and start doing the prep work — aunts and cousins all cook these recipes. It's been the same recipes for the past 50 or 60 years."
While traditional Indian cooking has been a natural part of Ghayalod's life since she was a child, she has expanded her knowledge by taking classes at CIA (Culinary Institute of America) in Hyde Park, N.Y. where she finds there is great enthusiasm for Indian cuisine.
"I'm looking at this excitement for things that are part of my culture," says Ghayalod who is generally the only Indian in the Indian cooking classes. She finds that people in the class sometimes turn to her for advice, but she politely declines. "I say, 'I want to learn what your doing.' They are always bringing so many new things to it. I have to tell them, continue doing it your way, I'm going watch."
And when it gets right down to it, what is Ghayalod favorite Indian dish?
"There's nothing like a good chicken curry and rice," she says. "It's my comfort food."

The booster pads (aka doublers or inserts) below are meant to be worn inside another absorbent undergarment to increase the absorbency and minimize changes. They do not have a waterproof backing to them which allows the wetness to flow through the booster pad and into the diaper underneath and prevents leaks from the leg openings.

This time, there were happy tears that Senate President Mike Haridopolos suppressed as the Florida Senate finalized legislation awarding a wrongly convicted man $1.35 million.
William Dillon, 52, was convicted of murder and served 27 years in prison before his release. The claims bill, SB 2, was a top priority of Haridopolos, who celebrated the victory Thursday with an emotional speech on the Senate floor.
"When there are people in prison who've been wronged, who should have never been there, we need to stand up as a Legislature and do what's right," Haridopolos, R-Merritt Island, said.
Dillon, of Satellite Beach, was in the gallery Thursday to witness the Senate's vote to concur with the House version of the legislation. (The pictures shows Haridopolos greeting Dillon shortly after.)
"He's amazing," Dillon said. "He really is."
Haridopolos indicated he would sign the legislation today and ask House Speaker Dean Cannon to do the same so that hopefully Dillon can watch Gov. Rick Scott sign the claims bill into law before he leaves Tallahassee.
The measure is the first claims bill this year to clear both chambers. Many others are still pending.

Newly minted Michelin-starred eateries include Labyrinth, a modern Singaporean restaurant that serves art on a plate, and Chef Kang's, a humble Cantonese joint tucked away in a shophouse. They're among the 38 eateries that have been honoured with Michelin stars this year, up from 29 in 2016.

[I am trying to print the output of lot.getHighestBid, which is just a number but for whatever reason, it prints the reference number @234lln. What is wrong with my code?

I took two pictures this morning while walking in the streets of Delhi.
We all know that Indians have more mobile phones than toilets. We also know that India needs more toilets than temples. We should also know that most public toilets in India stink, and women wait until they get a toilet even though public toilets are stinky, but men do not wait for anything, they urinate in public. Volunteers tried to stop them from peeing in the streets. They shamed men with their zippers down by drumming and blowing whistles, but it did not work. Men continued peeing and spiting everywhere. They love to pee on the wall. There were campaigns against peeing on the wall, there were posters like 'Please don't pee here, thank you', 'Please don't urinate here', 'You have to pay fine if you pee here' etc. But nothing worked. Men continued peeing on the wall. But when god's pictures were put, men stop peeing on the wall. God is the only thing that can prevent men from urinating in public. I do not know any better use of gods.

U.S. Border and Transportation Security employees facilitate legitimate travel and trade while working to prevent terrorism and other illegal activities.
Border patrol agents are stationed along the physical borders of the United States. Most jobs are in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas - the four states that border Mexico. The remaining border agents work across the northern boundary with Canada.
Career opportunities for new border patrol agents are projected to remain good in the years ahead. To become a border patrol agent, individuals must:
Border patrol agents are federal employees under the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In addition to border patrol responsibilities, CBP also provides customs and immigration inspection, import and export control, and animal and plant health inspection services. These services are provided at 317 official ports-of-entry in the United States plus 14 pre-clearance offices in Canada and the Caribbean as well as on the northern and southern U.S. borders.
Altogether, the CBP has more than 41,000 employees in occupations that include customs and border protection officers; security clerks, assistants, and administrators; and inspection, investigation and compliance officers as well as automotive and heavy mobile equipment mechanics; biologists and chemists; and attorneys and paralegal specialists.
Transportation security officers are on-site at all of the nation's major airports to screen airline passengers and luggage prior to boarding for dangerous objects and other terrorism threats. They may also help inspect air, rail, and other forms of transportation cargo for dangerous or illegal substances.
With over 400 major U.S. airports requiring transportation security officer screening services, job and career opportunities for such new officers are expected to remain very good during the years ahead.
Transportation security officers are federal employees under the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In addition to Transportation security screening responsibilities, TSA also administers the Federal Air Marshal Service.
TSA has over 10,000 employees. Most are directly engaged in providing transportation security screening and air marshal protective services. However, TSA also employs other managerial, financial, information technology, and administrative professionals.
Finally, the efforts of the CBP and TSA are supported by numerous state, regional and local authorities - such as the presence of state police at airports - that help provide additional security and resources to counter terrorist and illegal activities.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency has information on career and current employment opportunities, which is available at the following pages:
