President Vladimir Putin came to the city later Saturday to take part in the commemorations, including a visit to the famous hilltop memorial complex surmounted by a towering 87-meter (280-foot) statue of a sword-wielding woman representing the motherland.
The city 900 kilometers (560 miles) south of Moscow suffered six months of intensive fighting, beginning with massive air strikes, as Nazi forces tried to push deep into the Soviet Union and reach its Caucasus oil fields.
At least 1.2 million people are estimated to have died before the fighting ended on Feb. 2, 1943. The Red Army's defeat of the Nazis after house-to-house battling was a decisive turn in World War II.
One of the houses became a particularly resonant symbol of the battle. The four-story apartment building became known as the Pavlov House after the sergeant whose platoon inflicted heavy damage on Nazi troops and tanks while under heavy attack for two months, even as civilians continued to occupy it.
A woman born in the house a couple of months before the siege, Zinaida Andreeva, told the Interfax news agency Saturday that "for me, Feb. 2 is like a birthday. It's a special day, in which tears and happiness are side by side."
The city was renamed Volgograd in 1961, as part of the Khrushchev era's drive to erase the personality cult of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. But the name Stalingrad is indelibly connected with the battle that is one of Russia's most-lauded military achievements.
The connection is so strong that the city council this week passed a resolution under which it would use the name Stalingrad in official communiques on the day commemorating the battle's end, as well as five other days marking World War II events.
[to top of second column]
The legacy of Stalin remains a delicate issue nearly 60 years after his death. Although widely reviled for his decades of brutality and repression, many laud him as leading the people to victory against Nazi Germany amid immense suffering.
In a controversial move, Stalin's image adorns five buses that are to run in Volograd until Russia observes Victory Day on May 9, and similar buses were to run Saturday in St. Petersburg and Chita.
The leader of the liberal Yabloko party's faction in the St. Petersburg city council, Georgy Poltavchenko, denounced the Stalin buses.
"The victory in the Great Patriotic War" as Russians call WWII " including the victory in the battle on the Volga, was not achieved thanks to the
'military genius' of Stalin ... but thanks to the heroic resistance of our people," he was quoted by Interfax as saying.

compromise (with) (one's) principles
To forsake, ignore, or otherwise go against one's fundamental beliefs or virtues. I never thought he would compromise his principles just to get ahead in business like that. Jane felt really guilty about compromising with her principles when she didn't turn her friends into the police after she saw them stealing.

Dear John everywhere
I haven't watched much tv lately. But whenever I do turn on the tv I am bombarded with Dear John ads. They are trying to sell Channing Tatum as a heartthrob. Fine. We'll judge him on the merits of a heartthrob.
He is not my heartthrob. How does Channing Tatum compare to Ryan Gosling? Please. Obviously it's a personal quiver preference, and while quiver is basic and primal, it would be nice if the object of your quiver hadn't just figured out to stand upright. Go find your science textbook, look up homo neanderthalensis. Hi Channing Tatum. Did you just make fire?
Which is why Dear John isn't drawing me. I don't believe that Amanda Seyfried would fall for him. I don't buy that she'd be into poorly conjugated verbs.
As for Amanda, am not normally down with her red carpet choices but last night at the premiere, it was good. Suited her, flattered her, not bad. Didn't see Dominic Cooper, not sure if the situation has changed on that front but that relationship has never been about Amanda first. And she's still overly and aggressively managed by her handlers. Has been on many legs of this press tour. Such a turnoff.

A light shade of a colour, like blue, across the whole background of a form relieves the eye from the harshness of a stark white background. And if the answer spaces people have to fill in are white, the tinted background both cues them in to where they write, and allows them to visually sense how much they have to fill in.
Provide examples and guidance and notes at the point of need. Have you ever got half-way through a form and suddenly come to a question that asks you about something you do not understand or have no idea about where to find the answer? Its even more infuriating if the question says something like.

The Worst Corporate Tweets Honoring MLK Day
With each new holiday or anniversary comes another chance for a brand to embarrass itself.
SpaghettiOs did just that on the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, for instance, when it tweeted its cartoon mascot holding an American flag. Just because a brand could have its heart in the right place does not mean that a silly attempt at real-time marketing will not cause an angry backlash or mocking on a viral level.
So, of course, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day presented a perfect opportunity for cringe-worthy marketing messages.
Like this one from PETA, using a day of remembrance for the struggles and triumphs of African-Americans to plug its cause:
Today, we honor Martin Luther King Jr. & the plight of animals who are tortured, abused & neglected: http://t.co/khNLiAOPQ7 #NeverBeSilent
— PETA (@peta) January 20, 2014
It is notable that even though tweets like the one from PETA angered many people on Twitter, PETA and other brands did not have knee-jerk reactions to the response. Instead of deleting tweets and issuing an apology, brands like ZzzQuil chose to stick to their guns and explain to individual critics that they meant no offense:
Today is the day for dreaming. Happy MLK Day.
— ZzzQuil (@ZzzQuil) January 20, 2014
Companies like PopChips and Krazy Glue saw the perfect opportunity for a pun:
eternal poptimist #mlk pic.twitter.com/NIp8Llz0U5
— popchips (@popchips) January 20, 2014
Honored to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today. pic.twitter.com/p2LeNjwv0J
— Krazy Glue (@KrazyGlueExpert) January 20, 2014
Many were respectful, but just looked silly due to a weird brand association:
Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' - Martin Luther King, Jr.
— Chicken of the Sea (@COSMermaid) January 20, 2014
Big brands that normally love timely tweets avoided controversy by not tweeting at all, like Oreo and Burger King.
Taking the opposite approach, PornHub decided to fearlessly make some industry-appropriate jokes. The brand got equal attention from fans who found its tweets funny and critics who found them distasteful:
Happy MLK. In honor of his death, make sure to only use the Ebony category today.
— Pornhub Katie (@Pornhub) January 20, 2014
Apology: MLK would have wanted everyone to watch the Interracial category today. #IHaveADream
— Pornhub Katie (@Pornhub) January 20, 2014
Even though the porn tweets survived MLK Day, there was a notable Twitter fail in the traditional sense, and it came from the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command at the start of the long weekend. MARSOC quickly deleted the tweet and apologized for the "lone gunman" reference that brought to mind King's assassin:
And here's the apology:
From the Command in reference to our latest tweet: pic.twitter.com/9ln39HCWqA
— MARSOC (@MARSOCofficial) January 17, 2014
MLK Day proved that Twitter users can expect more questionable marketing tweets on the next holiday or day of remembrance. Though it also showed that more corporate social media teams are becoming aware of the dangers that come with real-time branding. Some are choosing to stand their ground, and others are choosing to just keep quiet.

Trial begins for officials accused in Obama, Clinton ballot petition fraud
The trial is underway for a former Democratic official and a Board of Elections worker who are accused of being part of a plot that has raised questions over whether President Obama's campaign -- when he was a candidate in 2008 -- submitted enough legitimate signatures to have legally qualified for the presidential primary ballot.
The two face charges of orchestrating an illegal scheme to fake the petitions that enabled then-candidates Obama, and Hillary Clinton, to qualify for the race in Indiana.
Former longtime St. Joseph County Democratic Party Chairman Butch Morgan Jr. faces multiple felony conspiracy counts to commit petition fraud, and former county Board of Elections worker Dustin Blythe is charged with nine felony forgery counts and one felony count of falsely making a petition of nomination. The proceedings began Monday in South Bend.
Morgan is accused of being the mastermind behind the plot, by allegedly ordering Democratic officials and workers to fake the names and signatures that Obama and Clinton needed to qualify for the presidential race. Blythe, then a Board of Elections employee and Democratic Party volunteer, has been accused of carrying out those orders by forging signatures on Obama's petitions.
Two former Board of Elections officials have already pleaded guilty to charges related to the scheme and could testify against Morgan and Blythe.
Former board worker Beverly Shelton, who allegedly was assigned the task of forging the petitions for Hillary Clinton, pleaded guilty in March to charges of forgery and falsely making a petition. The board's former Democratic head of voter registration, Pam Brunette, pleaded guilty in April to felony forgery, official misconduct, and falsifying a petition.
The alleged scheme was hatched in January of 2008, according to affidavits from investigators who cite former Board of Registration worker Lucas Burkett, who told them he was in on the plan at first, but then became uneasy and quit. He waited three years before telling authorities about it, but if revelations about any forgeries were raised during the election, the petitions could have been challenged during the contest. Any candidate who did not qualify with enough legitimate signatures at the time could have been bounced from the ballot.
The Indiana trial has raised questions about whether in 2008, candidate Obama actually submitted enough legitimate signatures to have legally qualified.
Under state law, presidential candidates need to qualify for the primary ballots with 500 signatures from each of the state's nine congressional districts. Indiana election officials say that in St. Joseph County, which is the 2nd Congressional District, the Obama campaign qualified with 534 signatures; Clinton's camp had 704.
Prosecutors say that in Obama's case, nine of the petition pages were apparently forged. Each petition contains up to 10 names, making a possible total of 90 names, which, if faked, could have brought the Obama total below the legal limit required to qualify. Prosecutors say 13 Clinton petitions were apparently forged, meaning up to 130 possibly fake signatures. Even if 130 signatures had been challenged, it would have still left Clinton with enough signatures to meet the 500-person threshold.
An Indiana State Police investigator said in court papers that the agency examined the suspect Obama petitions and "selected names at random from each of the petition pages and contacted those people directly. We found at least one person (and often multiple people) from each page who confirmed that they had not signed" petitions "or given consent for their name and/or signature to appear." The case was charged citing 20 forgeries -- not the total number of possible fake entries -- because that was considered a sufficient amount to prosecute.
Numerous voters told Fox News that they never signed the petitions.
"That's not my signature," Charity Rorie, a mother of four, told Fox News when showed the Obama petition with her name and signature. She said it "absolutely" was a fake.
Charity told Fox News that her husband's entry was also a forgery, and that they have not been contacted by investigators or any authorities looking into the scandal.
"It's scary, it's shocking. It definitely is illegal. A lot of people have already lost faith in politics and the whole realm of politics, so that just solidifies our worries and concerns."
Robert Hunter, Jr. said his name was faked, too.
"I did not sign for Barack Obama," he told us. As he examined the Obama petition in his hands, Hunter pointed out that "I always put 'Junior' after my name, every time ... there's no 'Junior' there."
Even a former Democratic Governor of Indiana, Joe Kernan, told Fox News that his name was forged.
The allegations were first uncovered by Indiana native and Yale University senior Ryan Nees, who wrote about the revelations for the political newsletter, Howey Politics Indiana.
"What's worrisome about this scheme is that it wasn't a single bad actor going rogue. Rather, four people were charged as co-conspirators, and two of the four have already pleaded guilty," Nees told Fox News.
Nees believes that had the petitions been challenged during the presidential election, "it's unlikely either candidate would have qualified for the ballot."
He said the fraud was clearly evident, "because page after page of signatures are all in the same handwriting." He noted that no one raised any red flags "because election workers in charge of verifying their validity were the same people faking the signatures."
Both Morgan and Blythe have pleaded not guilty, and when approached by Fox News in 2011, Blythe refused to talk about the case.
Morgan's attorney declined our request for an interview, and Blythe's attorney has not responded to our efforts for comment.
The petition process is vital to candidates' campaigns.
In the 2012 presidential race, Republican candidate Newt Gingrich was tripped up by that process in Virginia. He failed to qualify for the GOP primary ballot in that state, because authorities said hundreds of signatures on his campaign's petitions were faked. A Gingrich campaign worker has pleaded guilty, and another still faces charges.
Petition fraud also cost Michigan Republican Rep. Thaddeus McCotter his public office. McCotter, who also ran for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, has accused former campaign workers of intentionally faking his congressional primary race petition signatures. The result was that McCotter did not submit the legal number of signatures needed to qualify for the ballot, and that failure forced him to resign his congressional seat last July. While McCotter was not implicated in any wrongdoing, two former campaign aides pleaded no contest to criminal charges, and one pleaded guilty.

Aunt Geraldine "Jerri" Pitcher Jonas passed away in May. I wish to share her obituary and a number of photos I have of her.
Geraldine 'Jerri' Jonas, 85, returned to our Heavenly Father on 26 May 2016. She was born 1 October 1930 in Smithfield, Cache, Utah to Mary Geraldine Fulkerson and Ronald Nelson Pitcher.
She grew up in Smithfield and graduated from North Cache High School in Richmond, Cache, Utah, in 1948.
She married Ellis Seth Jonas on 18 August 1947. They were sealed in the Logan Utah LDS Temple on 24 April 1964.
She was very industrious and resourceful in all she did. She spent many hours working in her flower gardens, surrounding herself with the beauty they brought.
She took many horticulture and flower design classes at Utah State University prior to opening Jerri's Floral and Greenhouse in 1976. Her successful business lasted for over 24 years before she retired.
Jerri was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served as Relief Society president, Primary president, and as a counselor in the stake Young Women's presidency along with many other callings. She served a LDS full-time mission with her husband, Ellis Seth Jonas, in the Arkansas Little Rock Mission from 1993-94.
She was very active in community service for Smithfield and Cache County. She played a big part in designing and making floats for Smithfield Health Days. She was known and appreciated by all who knew for her willingness to serve.
She is our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife and friend. She was proceeded in death by her husband, Ellis Seth Jonas; her sons, Kent Ronald Jonas and Dan Ellis Jonas; parents, Mary Geraldine Fulkerson and Ronald Nelson Pitcher. She is survived by her children, Mary Lou Jonas (Jarel Hoyt), Julie Ann Jonas (Darnell Kowallis), and Ronald Nelson Jonas (Denise Chambers); and sisters, Faye Pitcher (Don Schiess) and Jenness Pitcher Pond. She has 11 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, 4 June 2016, at the LDS meetinghouse at 79 E. 200 South, in Smithfield.
A viewing will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on 3 June 2016, at Nelson Funeral Home, located at 85 S. Main St., in Smithfield. There will be a viewing for family and friends from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. prior to the services at the church. She will be laid to rest in the Smithfield City Cemetery.
I don't have any of the family reunion photos from the past 10 years to share. Maybe some of the rest of the family will share them or provide a copy to me so I can share them.
I really came to know Uncle Ellis and Aunt Geri (I know others spelled it Jerri, but I always used Geri and she signed my birthday cards that way too) while I was at Utah State. I stopped in after I moved there in 2003. As I got to know them quite a bit more, they invited me to dinner. Eventually I fairly regularly went to Smithfield to get away, study, and do laundry. It turned out to be a great opportunity to get away from campus, relax, and do homework.
I got to know Geri's Mom, helped clean her home, and even did work for Jenness at her home.
I gave Ellis some books that I had that I thought he might be interested in and he gave me some of Great Grandma Lillians books as well as Great Grandpa Joseph's books. I still have them all.
Eventually I graduated from college, married, and moved away. I always felt very welcome in their home and Geri always felt at ease to help me do things around the house. I don't know how many times I helped her weed some of her flower beds.
I wish I could have gone to the funeral but my own daughter, Aliza, was in the hospital. Farewell until we meet again.

Nature deficit disorder is a term used to identify the various negative symptoms of human alienation from the natural world. Like many other conditions, its most profound effects are manifested in children. The malady has been well studied, although not considered a formal medical diagnosis, and is generally accepted in describing the world's highly urbanized societies.
image credit: MorphocodeBy 2009, greater than 50% of humankind were living in cities. For the first time in history, most people were cut off from the intimate environmental associations that are fostered by growing food, hunting and fishing, and living closely with inevitable Nature. It is estimated that three out of every four people will be urban dwellers by 2050, with many of us living in megacities of over 10 million.

By the beginning of the last century the Indian Wars were finished. Both places had experienced their own terrible conflicts. Montana and South Florida were sparsely populated frontiers, similar to what other parts of the country had been like decades earlier; life felt a bit unsettled and raw. In South Florida, the construction of a large network of drainage canals would forever change the region. The original coontie harvesters, small farmers, shipwreck salvagers, Bahamian laborers and craftspeople, and the business dreamers would find nothing recognizable in today's urbanization, hydrological disruption, and profound environmental alteration. Even the beach sand has been pumped up from somewhere else. Successive waves of newcomers have brought their own expectations, based upon memories of the places that they come from and their expectations of what should be.

Even in their diminished condition, our imperiled natural remnants are deeply moving. They demonstrate that the world functions with or despite us. Beyond providing free essential environmental services and economic benefits, beyond being the great wheel upon which our very lives depend, they lift our spirits and nourish our souls.
Few places in the U.S. can surpass South Florida in biological richness. Unfortunately, there's scarcely a region in this country that is more environmentally threatened. Many residents lack interest in much beyond the human manipulated landscape; environmental awareness seems nearly nonexistent.
The old Florida joke about there being only two local seasons, hot and hotter, is an unwitting commentary on how the glorious subtleties of the natural year are often ignored. We all should try to get out to the Everglades or Big Cypress and appreciate the annual dry down after Summer's tropical rains. Show it to your children. At this time of year, even in town, one notices the abundance of migrant warblers in the shrubs and trees and the raptors in the sky. If the weather turns cold, the manatees will move inshore and up the canals. Who can miss creatures the size of small cars? Very soon, the fine leaves on the bald cypresses will turn a rich russet color and fall, as the trees prepare for our brief, subtropical Winter. Take heart, just a few weeks later, the soft fuzz of leaves will reappear, clothing rough branches with the first golden-green sign of Spring.

MongoDB and Java
The MongoDB project was started by 10gen about four years ago as part of a broader Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. Around 2009, 10gen decided to focus more on MongoDB as a flagship product, given their customers' love for the product and its growing popularity. Adoption has grown consistently since then, and continues to be high with over 120,000 downloads per month, despite having a lot of competition. In fact, by 2010, MongoDB had surpassed other competitive hierarchical databases in overall usage.
In short, MongoDB is a non-relational database, where you can store data in its natural, hierarchical, form with lots of flexibility in terms of schema and queries. Labeled "NoSQL" by some, this movement has become popular, but is considered a misnomer by many people. One person who agrees is Roger Bodamer, EVP of technology at 10gen, who prefers to focus on MongoDB's ease of programming, low latency behavior, and high performance on modest hardware.
JSON-based Modeling
At the heart of MongoDB's ease of use is its JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)-based data model. Not only is JSON extremely popular in the web space a key target market for 10gen it's a natural way to express data models and hierarchies. The power of this approach is two-fold:
- It's easy to get started with MongoDB. You can quickly mock up your data model without too much concern that it will grow as you flesh out your application and its overall requirements. To extend the model, you simply provide additional JSON documents and the database aggregates them automatically. This document-oriented approach to data modeling, and MongoDB's unique use of it with what it calls collections, allows it to fit right into today's popular agile software development approach.
- Iterative development is a natural fit with MongoDB, as changes to the model are easily expressed and instantly reapplied through changes and additions to the JSON document model
Latency, Performance, and Scalability
As mentioned, MongoDB is designed for low latency in terms of query response. Additionally, users are continually surprised at how well MongoDB performs, and how many transactions-per-second it can achieve on modest, low-cost, hardware. Scalability is achieved by simply adding low-cost server hardware horizontally. The software handles clustering across these servers almost automatically.
To do this, MongoDB is built on what 10Gen calls automatic sharding, which balances for load and data distribution across new machines. It works across thousands of nodes, with no single point of failure, and with automatic failover across all of them. For more information on sharding, check out this link on the MongoDB website.
Simplified Query Language
A big differentiator for MongoDB among its competitors is the power and simplicity of its query language. It's an interactive query language that's simple to learn and master. The database also includes a shell that's interactive, and allows you to write, execute, and optimize queries with results returned dynamically. If you've worked with Oracle's SQL*Plus, or MySQL's Query Tool, you'll be at home with MongoDB.
One of MongoDB's best capabilities is its support for dynamic (ad hoc) queries, which is similar to how relational databases work. This makes it easy when moving from an RDBMS to MongoDB. The query language is flexible in terms of missing fields, exactly matching fields, range queries, regular expressions, and the use of JavaScript functions in queries (somewhat analogous to a stored procedure).
Most queries in MongoDB don't use JavaScript on the server (a performance and scalability concern for some), but are instead performed through the provided API. Additionally, MongoDB does support MapReduce, which is a framework that supports arbitrary and complex queries that can use JavaScript as needed.
However, server-side JavaScript execution has seen a rise in popularity recently with the growth of HTML5. As a result, JavaScript engines are being continuously enhanced and tuned in terms of performance, where some even support JIT compilation. With this associated growth and investment in JavaScript execution on the server, and its associated performance gains, 10gen isn't too worried about it. This is good news for developers of HTML5 applications, or other Ajax-based applications, where most if not all of the code is written in JavaScript.
Let's look at an example of some queries in MongoDB, and then compare it with the Java API for the same queries. Below is a sample object in MongoDB, represented as a JSON object:
{ "first_name" : "John", "last_name" : "Smith", "address" : { "street" : "123 Main Street", "city" : "Anytown", "state" : "NY" } }
Assuming this record is added to your collection of people in the database, you can query for all records with the following:
db.people.find( { } )
Or, you can query for all records with last name "Smith" with the following simple query:
db.people.find( { 'last_name': 'Smith'} )
And finally, you can specifically search for John Smith with the following query:
db.people.find( { 'last_name': 'Smith'}, {'first_name': 'John' )
There is web-specific convenience support, such as the ability to page through records to show, say, ten records at a time, skipping the previous number that have already been displayed. To do this, you use the skip and limit query keywords, as in this query:
This query assumes you've already shown two pages of ten results (i.e., skip(10*prev_pages_shown). MongoDB automatically handles the cursor-based query result paging for you; no application specific record keeping is needed.
The Java API
Although MongoDB is written mainly in C++, it includes APIs and drivers for most popular languages, including: C#, Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, C/C++, Haskell, Lisp, Scala, and so on. There are multiple drivers for Java support, such as a "bare bones" driver, and an evolved driver with support for object introspection. Let's look at the Java API and how it's used to query the database with queries similar to the aforementioned native ones.
Using the sample people collection from our previous example, the following Java code returns (and prints) all records in that collection:
DBCollection coll = db.getCollection("people") DBCursor cur = coll.find(); while(cur.hasNext()) { System.out.println(cur.next()); }
To query for people records that match the last name of "Smith," use the following query:
DBCollection coll = db.getCollection("people") BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject(); query.put("last_name", "Smith"); DBCursor cur = coll.find(query); while(cur.hasNext()) { System.out.println(cur.next()); }
And finally, to specifically find John Smith, use the following query:
DBCollection coll = db.getCollection("people") BasicDBObject query = new BasicDBObject(); query.put("first_name", "John"); query.put("last_name", "Smith"); DBCursor cur = coll.find(query); while(cur.hasNext()) { System.out.println(cur.next()); }
The API is straightforward, consistent across languages, and flexible in terms of query parameters.
MongoDB Usage and 10Gen Partners
Parent company 10gen is proud to list its flagship MongoDB customers, such as Craigslist, Shutterfly, Foursquare, SourceForge, LexisNexis, the New York Times, and more. For a complete list of production deployments and customers, look here.
However, 10gen is particularly excited about its recent partnerships with RedHat and VMWare. RedHat has made MongoDB a key component of its PaaS offerings, as well as its application store. And, specifically, MongoDB has become the de facto database for VMWare's CloudFoundry offering.
With this and other new developments, MongoDB is quickly becoming the de facto database for software developers in general, across platforms. Further, 10gen is working with others, such as Microsoft for Windows Azure integration, and plan a long list of key announcements in the coming weeks.
From the developer community perspective, MongoDB is strong and growing. A complete list of MongoDB events is available online, and includes MongoDB San Francisco on May 24th, MongoDB New York on June 7th, MongoDB Washington DC on June 27th, and more. Check out the link above for full details.
Happy coding!

Dynamic Efficiency – Working Efficiently and with Process Reliability
Considerable potential lies in the efficient heavy machining—roughing at high cutting speed—but also in the machining of hard-to-cut materials like titanium alloys, nickel-based materials or stainless steel, which are standard materials in the aviation and aerospace industry. Heavy machining is primarily about removing as much material as possible in the shortest time. This is where many components of the machining process are pushed to their limits. So for this type of high-performance cutting, comprehensive process management is an indispensable prerequisite for quality and economy. The forces that result from the cutting process place an extreme load on the machine and tool. The goal must therefore be to optimize metal removal rates, maximize tool service life and minimize the machine load.
With the concept of Dynamic Efficiency, HEIDENHAIN offers innovative TNC functions that help the user to increase process reliability in heavy machining and roughing in order to improve efficiency.
Dynamic Efficiency comprises these three TNC functions:
- ACC (Active Chatter Control) – This option reduces chatter tendencies and permits greater infeeds
- AFC (Adaptive Feed Control) – This option controls the feed rate depending on the machining situation
- Trochoidal milling: Cycle for the roughing of slots and pockets in a way that eases the load on the tool and the machine
