Breaking News
Lest we forget, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, have been financing and training the ISIL terrorists on behalf of the United States. Israel is harboring the Islamic State (ISIL) in the Golan Heights, NATO in liaison with the Turkish high command has since March 2011 been involved in coordinating the recruitment of the jihadist fighters dispatched to Syria. Moreover, the ISIL brigades in both Syria and Iraq are integrated by Western special forces and military advisers.
UK MPs vote overwhelmingly for airstrikes on ISIS in Iraq ~ link ~ Now that the Scottish Referendum Vote is over, the political puppets in the three main British political parties can get back to serving their true masters the global banksters and Zionists!!! That this will likely lead to the destruction of their nation and most of its people in the Third World War is NOT on their corrupt little minds!!! Stirling
MPs have voted to back Britain joining US-led airstrikes on Islamic State in Iraq in a vote on Friday. Attacks could begin within days, as ministers admit that UK military intervention could last two or three years.
MPs voted overwhelmingly in favour of strikes against Islamic State (also known asISIS, or ISIL), with 524 voting for and 43 voting against.
The motion did not propose any UK involvement in airstrikes in Syria, where a US-Arab coalition began bombing IS militants on Tuesday. A year ago, British MPs rejected airstrikes on Syria to oppose the government of President Bashar Assad.

Denmark to send F-16 fighter jets for anti-ISIS airstrikes in Iraq ~ link ~ It is so sad to see the level of political whoredom in the West. This level of evil invites the horrors of a new global war upon us all. Stirling
Denmark is to dispatch seven F-16 fighter jets to Iraq to aid in the struggle against Islamic State militants, Danish PM Helle Thorning-Schmidt announced Friday.
The US filed a request with Denmark on Thursday to contribute to the international air campaign against Islamic State (formerly known as ISIS, or ISIL) in Iraq. Thorning-Schmidt said that the F-16s would be limited to flying in Iraq and would not be targeting any areas in neighboring Syria.
John Kerry explains what America is - and is not - doing to "defeat" the "odious" ISIS ~ link ~ You know, I remember John Kerry from the Vietnam War when he testified against the war as a returning vet. I was a anti-war activist active at local and national levels and knew a large number of the leaders of the anti-war movement. I did not know him personally, but when I watched him on television testifying before the US Senate, I got a really bad feeling about him. I was right about him, just as I was right about dear old Bibi 666 Netanyahu during the lead-in to the First Gulf War when he was an Assistant Information Minister for Israel, and I told my late wife that he was the antichrist that would inflame the Mideast and bring on the Third World War someday. I remember Kerry, from when he was running for President and he said that he was shocked to learn that he had Jewish blood ... what utter BS as his brother was a practicing Orthodox Jew at the time! The world is being led to its destruction by evil demonic lying jerks that are right in our faces with their lies and evil intent!!! What are you doing about it? Are you, at least praying to God and enlightening those who you know as to what is happening? Stirling

While most old people still cling to the corporate media worldview, the young are skewing ever-harder toward alternative perspectives. In Thursday's Scottish independence referendum, for example, the London Daily Mirror reported that 71% of 16-17 year olds voted "yes" while those over 65 voted "no" by a 73%-27% margin. Why does the vast majority of Scottish young people favor independence, while an equally crushing majority of old people opposes it? Short answer: Old people still believe BBC propaganda, while the young do not.

"It is a very bad situation," Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Ray Odierno said today, at Google's office in Washington, D.C., during his first Google hangout, a virtual town hall that lasted more than an hour.

C3 (bias capacitor) changed from 220uF to 2200uF.
Upper and lower diode different position. Upper diode before base stopper 68R, lower diode after base stopper 68R. |

?!?! The diodes look like two one-way bridges from the output to the +/- of the cap. . . |

So 1N4148 would be fine ?
(Sorry I'm not fluent enjough to understand the difference between a diode and a zener) I reckon Zener Is a Diode but there are diodes that are not zener. I was a bit suprise by the 1N4004 - seems oversized (maybe Babowana JH wanted to have a good time) Thanks anyway |

The one and only
a zener diode is just a diode with a low breakdown voltage.
In this case you could use some 5.6V zeners easily enough. There are diodes you wouldn't use, like a 100 amp rectifier. |

I just wanted to have normal diodes as on the drawing, safely avoiding my ignorance. I casually thought about 1N4004, which I use most time. Anyway, thanks to Nelson, you have full answer. . . |

Thanks to all for their contribution.
What could be the cause, now that the DC offset trimmed down by the R6 values is set to +1mv -1mv and the bias via R11 is set to 1.55A, after an 1.5 hours the amplifier start giving a hum, like a ground loop in the speaker. |

A40 amplifier - who could help ?
In the early eighties a firend built an amplifier which he viewed as state of the art at that time for its schematic. Unfortunately he passed away and recently the amplifier did the same. I ended up opening the box and searching the web to find where / how this amplifier (which I like the sound very much) could be brought back to function. (ok this is almost pathetic..since i know little to nothing about electronic) Searching the web I found the passdiy and this forum sites which are full of all information I needed to get the amp fixed (almost). I'd like to thanks Mr Pass as well as all others who by their questions and answers have teached me a lot and fix the amp. Beeing far far having a good understanding, one issue remained unsolved yet and even after several searches, I haven't found how to address it. Maybe some of you would have the answer, please be thanked again. Here it is : There is some hum in the speaker. I've removed the transformer away to no results. I've applied Eric (http://www.facstaff.bucknell.edu/esa...ovies/a40.html) recommendations as well as Mr Pass (http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showt...953#post969953) although there i haven't found 2200uf tantalum so far (car we use electrolitics instead ?) But to no avail. Here are the measurements (if that helps) Right channel +DC 31.20; -DC 31.20 DC offset 2.8mv Bias 1.56Amp per trail Voltage drop - D1 - D2 1,270V - R7 0.642V - R6 0.592V - Q7 - Q9 emitter 1.089V - R10 0.636V - start up thump 0.184V - light hum yes Left channel +DC 31.46; -DC 31.46 DC offset 0.1mv Bias 1.64Amp Voltage drop - D1 - D2 1,286V - R7 0.656V - R6 0.589V - Q7 - Q9 emitter 1.026V - R10 0.649V - start up thump 0.343V - light hum yes 1°) What can be the cause of the hum in the speaker ? 2°) I don't understand why the difference in the start up thump. The only difference I'm able to noticed with the schema on passdiy is the transformer. It is a secondary 1kVA at 24Volt DC with 8 wires 4 are connected to two rectifier of 50Amp 600V and the 4 other a fixed on the ground. I don't know if that makes a difference. Many thanks anyway. |

Symantec to integrate Enterprise Vault with the cloud
Symantec will link its Enterprise Vault archiving application to the Symantec Protection Network cloud by the end of this year.
A Symantec Corp. executive says the company plans to offer cloud-based archiving services around the end of this...

year or early in 2010.
Simon Jelley, senior director for Enterprise Vault product management, tells SearchStorage.com that the company's archiving software will be linked with the cloud through the Symantec Protection Network (SPN). SPN is a platform of SaaS-based services, which currently includes Symantec Online Backup. Symantec licenses Enterprise Vault to partners offering Software as a Service (SaaS) archiving services, but hasn't attached it to its own cloud.
"We certainly have some plans for working with [SPN], providing customers the capability to push data to the cloud from Enterprise Vault," says Jelley. "[We're] also looking at archiving options directly to the cloud itself."
Symantec will first attach Enterprise Vault to SPN for data management purposes, and will hold off on adding e-discovery capabilities until large data sets can be moved and secured more easily over the Internet. Cloud storage services haven't taken off for enterprise applications because Internet network bandwidth tends to be too small to efficiently move enterprise-sized data sets over the wire.
Brian Babineau, a senior analyst at Milford, Mass.-based Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), says using the cloud will help organizations manage their archives, although it brings e-discovery challenges.
"The biggest issue customers will face with their archives is the size," says Babineau. "If they can move some of it offsite, then they can alleviate the problem. The hardest part for the e-discovery scenario is determining what data belongs locally and what data belongs in the cloud."
A recent ESG survey of 25 corporate counsels with at least 5,000 employees in North America found that a preponderance of data requested for e-discovery was three years old or older. "So you really can't use age to determine what stays local and what goes to the cloud," says Babineau.
"What we want to look at is making sure that what's being passed to the cloud is the least-used or least-accessed data that needs to be kept for a longer amount of time," says Jelley, "but isn't necessarily going to be involved in a high amount of user retrieval or for discovery."
SaaS for e-discovery and compliance purposes has been slow to take off. A Forrester Research report released last year about on-premise vs. SaaS-based email archiving products concluded that the latter were "not ready for prime time."
Jelley says he agrees with that assessment. "My opinion, looking at the cloud-based solutions that offer some form of discovery today, is [that] they're pretty limited in terms of the capability they provide compared to the types of in-house solutions we provide; for example, with our Discovery Accelerator application that we offer on top of [Enterprise Vault]," he says.
Symantec plans to pull more content types into its archive soon. "The next big push is around voice message systems," says Jelley. "We do have a partner that's about to announce being able to bring in different voicemails to [Enterprise Vault]. The next thing is to build toward space-saving elements [like data deduplication], but [voicemails] become relevant to e-discovery, as well."
The partner, whom Jelley didn't name, would provide conversion from voice to text so Enterprise Vault could apply the same algorithms it generates for other content. Jelley anticipates this integration during the early part of this year, probably in the early March timeframe.
Listen to Q&A with Jelley, who's been working with the Enterprise Vault product since he was an employee at Digital Equipment Corp. in the late 1990s.

Jewish World Review Oct. 18, 2012 / 2 Mar-Cheshvan, 5773 The News in Zingers By Argus Hamilton
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
President Obama and Mitt Romney debated to a tie on Tuesday night. The president pleased Democrats with his aggressiveness and Mitt Romney pleased Republicans by making no mistakes. They say in Arkansas a tie is like kissing your sister, it's just that good.
The Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union Friday in Stockholm. Americans did walk away with one of the big awards. This year the Nobel Prize for Economics went to a California couple who sold their house five years ago.
Mitt Romney canceled his appearance on The View Thursday. He decided not to sit in the middle of five women gunning for him on national TV. It's the kind of leadership we've been looking for, a guy who recognizes an unwinnable quagmire when he sees one.
Alex Rodriguez was caught in the AL playoffs tossing a ball to a woman in the stands on which he had written a note asking for her phone number. He looked desperate. Neither A-Rod nor Lance Armstrong can get a date since the outbreak of meningitis was linked to steroid use.
Democrats planned a Million Big Bird March to support taxpayer funding for Sesame Street and Big Bird. The bird signifies cheer, kindness and brotherhood. About the only nice thing that Democrats won't say about Big Bird is how many poor people he could feed.
Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. was probed Tuesday for using campaign donations to decorate his house. He was just treated at the Mayo Clinic for bi-polar disorder and was reportedly seen drinking at a bar in Washington D.C. Rod Blagojevich deserves to have some time knocked off his sentence for not appointing him to Barack Obama's Senate seat.
Hillary Clinton took responsibility for the U.S. embassy in Libya being attacked. The president blamed it on a spontaneous mob riot over an anti-Muslim video nobody saw. In the Pentagon dining room, they've just hung a portrait of Riots Sparked by Anti-Muslim Video on the wall, right between Weapons of Mass Destruction and The Domino Theory.

Despicable means used to achieve laudable goals render the goals themselves despicable.

People are not lazy. They simply have important goals that is, goals that do not inspire them.

Having Plan B is good. But if your obsessed with Plan A, u'll never need backup. Become Obsessed with ur goals, ur focus will bring results.
Keshia Chante
There is no such thing as a self-made man. You will reach your goals only with the help of others.
George Shinn
Science now finds itself in paradoxical strife with society: admired but mistrusted; offering hope for the future but creating ambiguous choice; richly supported yet unable to fulfill all its promise; boasting remarkable advances but criticized for not serving more directly the goals of society.
J. Michael Bishop
It was practically un-American to not set goals and then do everything you could, everything, to reach them. Quitting-it was a dirty word...
Deb Caletti
If we continue to think and live as if we belong only to different cultures and different religions, with separate missions and goals, we will always be in self-defeating competition with each other. Once we realize we are all members of humanity, we will want to compete in the spirit of love.
Muhammad Ali
We never had planned to hijack a ship. We never thought of any war plans outside the Palestinian lands. We wished that the program had not failed and then the warriors could have achieved their goals.
Abu Abbas
The way forward is by building political support for republican and democratic objectives across Ireland and by winning support for these goals internationally.
Gerry Adams
Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us. They are essential to really keep us alive.

CEOs are seeking to generate more revenues from their emerging digital businesses, forcing CIOs to become more familiar with their company's customers. Digital agendas are devouring CIOs' attention and forcing them to partner with the CEO and the CMO.
The trend represents a sea change of sorts for the CIO, whose role evolved sharply from that of a custodian of back-office systems to a curator of customers. Three CIOs who manage technology for global businesses discussed what that evolution means in the context of their businesses at the Forbes CIO Summit in Half Moon Bay on Monday.
Left to right: Roger Gurnani, chief information and technology architect at Verizon; Mike McNamara, Target CIO; Stephanie von Friedeburg, CIO of World Bank.
As one of the founding officers of Verizon Wireless, Roger Gurnani has watched the telecommunications market evolve. But perhaps nothing is more challenging for Gurnani than his current role as chief information and technology architect, positions that combine the roles of CTO and CIO. He's managing wireless network and telecom network architectures, as well as the IT and digital technologies that orchestrate business processes. "We felt it was important to create the new role that bridges business technology and strategy," Gurnani says.
CIOs eye analytics, IoT to bolster the customer experience
Verizon's strategy is predicated on the fact that its customers are consuming an array of digital services, including watching video from smartphones and tablets, and connecting home appliances to the Internet. Gurnani is overseeing the construction of the company's IoT network, ThingSpace, which relies heavily on machine learning algorithms and data analytics to automate Verizon's networks, as well as an ecosystem of applications, sensors and mobile devices connected to it. "The entire value chain is becoming programmable … it's becoming software driven," Gurnani says. "Business models are disrupting and changing because it's no longer humans that have to make decisions. With deep learning and different algorithms, [everything] is getting so automated."
[ Related: Digital transformation designed for the customer ]
Verizon uses data coming out its automated systems to better serve its 125 million consumers and 200,000 corporate customers. For example, Verizon routs its 35,000 field service technicians using algorithms to analyze customer service needs and direct to people's homes the techs with the appropriate skills and the trucks with the right spare parts to remediate a problem. "Our technology focus is centered around the customers," Gurnani says. "We measure the success in terms of customer satisfaction and it all happens in close to real time."
Measuring customer satisfaction is also a major focus at retailers such as Target, where Mike McNamara became the permanent CIO eight months ago. McNamara is improving core operations, including augmenting Target's supply chain applications, in the wake of one of the most devastating data breaches in U.S. history. He called mobile technology perhaps the most disruptive force to Target, whose popular Cartwheel app allows customers to redeem discounts from their smartphones.
Mastering customer insights requires leaning in
But McNamara says he gained customer insights during his stint as CIO of U.K. grocer Tesco, where he spent time in every position in the retailer's stores. He worked as a cashier and call center representative, an experience he described as humbling. "You go from feeling like you're the master of the universe to feeling like an imbecile," McNamara says, of taking customer calls.
[ Related: Can marketing tech track the entire customer lifecycle? ]
Despite the wealth of data analytics piping customer insights into today's businesses, working the store floor is the only way to grasp how the business operates as well as how the decisions a CIO makes impact the lives of employees and customers. "What doesn't flow through the bits and bytes is customer emotion … how customers feel about the brand and their experiences," McNamara says. "To get in tune with that customer, you've got to get out there."
World Bank CIO Stephanie von Friedeburg has become an advisor to the broader business for the nonprofit organization, which offers financing and other programs to help governments alleviate poverty. With the support of President Jim Yong Kim, von Friedeburg reorganized IT to better serve customers in 186 countries.
She centralized IT by replacing widely dispersed on-premises hardware and software with social, mobile, analytics and cloud solutions, including public cloud services from Box, Microsoft and AWS, and expanded the bank's Internet connectivity. Such technologies have laid the foundation for extending technology outside the office to serve its government customers.
For example, World Bank lends money to governments to maintain roads. But figuring out where that maintenance ought to occur is challenging. So the bank is equipping cars with sensors to determine where road decay and congestion are greatest, which will tell them where the funding is getting spent. "We can disperse our money using sensor data and actually become more effective and inefficient," von Friedeburg says.

Herefordshire Probate Records
The following article is about probate records in the county of Cumberland. For general information about English probate records, click here.
Getting Started
Probate is the legal court process by which the estate of a deceased person is distributed to his or her heirs. The Church of England ecclesiastical courts had authority for this process until to 1858. Beginning in 1858, authority over probate matters was taken from ecclesiastical courts and put under the civil authority of the Principal Probate Registry. The Post-1857 Probate Records section below contains links to additional information about the records of this court.
To look for a probate record before 1858:
- Discover when and where your ancestor died. If you don't know, use the approximate date and place where they lived.
- Go to Court Jurisdictions section below.
- Click a letter or span of letters for your place name. This opens a jurisdictions table.
- Follow the instructions on the jurisdictions table page.
Herefordshire Probate Courts
Most of Herefordshire was under the pre-1858 probate jurisdiction of the Court of the Bishop of Hereford (Episcopal Consistory). The majority of probate searches will be in the records of this court and its superior courts. However, the following courts also had some pre-1858 jurisdiction within the county. Click on a court name to learn about records and indexes.
- Court of the Dean of Hereford Cathedral
- Court of the Archdeacon of Brecon
- Court of the Bishop of St. David's (Episcopal Consistory)
- Court of the Peculiar of Moreton Magna or Moreton on Lugg
- Court of the Peculiar of Upper Bullinghope or Upper Bullingham
- Court of the Peculiar of Little Hereford & Ashford Carbonell
In addition, the Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury had jurisdiction over the whole of England and specifically in the following cases.
- Wealthy individuals
- People who owned property in more than one county
- Military and naval personnel
- People who lived or owned property outside England
Appeals Courts
Any probate that was disputed and could not be settled by the county courts could be sent to these higher appeals courts:
The Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury also served as an appeals court.
Court Jurisdictions by Parish
Before 1858, every town and parish in Herefordshire was under the probate jurisdiction of a primary ecclesiastical court and one or more secondary ecclesiastical courts.
For a list of Herefordshire places and the pre-1858 courts that had probate jurisdiction over them, click on a letter link:
If you do not know the parish in which your ancestor died or held property, search the Court of the Bishop of Hereford (Episcopal Consistory) first.
Indexes to Probate Records
In addition to the probate indexes listed below, indexes are also found with the records of the courts. Click on the court links above.
Probate Indexes Online
Before looking for a will, you should search an index. [1]
- Abstracts of Herefordshire Probate Records Herefordshire Wills Collections. This page provides details of compilations of Herefordshire Probate Records (Wills), either partial abstracts or indexes, online and in printed collections. The following are listed in reverse order of their creation, or my discovery.[2]
- Probate Records for Ledbury are available at this website [3]
Estate Duty Records
Starting in 1796, a tax or death duty was payable on estates over a certain value. Estate duty abstracts may add considerable information not found elsewhere. Estate duty indexes may help locate a will. For more information, go to Estate Duty Records.
Probates After 1857
Beginning in 1858, the government took over the settlement of estates and all wills are now probated through the Principal Probate Registry system. For more information, go to Principal Probate Registry.

Trouble is, we are all slightly envious of the residents of that good island.

Trouble is.. Surely they can hardly sue for prejudice when they themselves should be sued for being sexist.. Shouldn't they be something like the Isle of Persons of all Denominations, Sexual Persuasions and Genders!!!

"Write with nouns and verbs, not with adjectives and adverbs. The adjectivehasn't been built that can pull a weak or inaccurate noun out of a tightplace."
William Strunk Jr. E.B. White
"I've always loved the flirtatious tango of consonants and vowels, the sturdy dependability of nouns and capricious whimsy of verbs, the strutting pageantry of the adjective and the flitting evanescence of the adverb, all kept safe and orderly by those reliable little policemen, punctuation marks. Wow! Think I got my ass kicked in high school?"

Bangaa moutain town. Home to the prison.
Sprohm (山岳都市スプロム, Sangaku Toshi Supuromu?, lit. Mountain Town Sphrom) is the bangaa town from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. While it is a town in the game, the battlefield in battles held there are very uneven and mountainous. The Clan Yellow Powerz, the first of four Clans fought in the Clan League, spawns here.
Locations Edit
The Long Ear Tavern Edit
The local tavern infamous for its rowdy crowd and prominent brawls. Great place for rumors to start.
Bangaa Emporium Edit
The local shop famed for its ornery owner. At the shop, discounts are given on weaponry wielded by bangaas. This includes knuckles, blades, staves, spears, swords, etc.
Prison Edit
Described as the tightest-run place in Ivalice, it is administered by guards appointed personally by Queen Remedi. The largest (and only) Prison in the game is located in Sprohm. During engagements, if a character is carded by a Judge, the prison can hand out pardons.
When seeking a pardon, the character is held in the prison for a length determined by how far the game has progressed. If the character is removed from battle by a Judge, they are held in the prison until they are bailed out or serve out their sentence. In either case, if a unit actually serves time, they are returned to your party after entering the prison, if they have served their time.
The music for this place is simply called "Prison", and sounds a lot like "Holy Angel's Theme".
Liberating Sprohm Edit
Sprohm is liberated by completing Mission #069: Free Sprohm!, which is unlocked after completing mission Mission #068: Fowl Thief and reading the Area Freed! rumor. Unlike other turfs, towns actually have an engagement when being liberated. After completion, Sprohm is liberated and will not come under attack.
Missions Edit
- Mission #057: Prison Break
Help me break out of prison, just for one day, please! All I have to do is deliver a birthday present to my wife! Julian, Troubled Inmate
- Mission #069: Free Sprohm!
One of the Borzoi Capos is in the mountain town of Sprohm! Keep an eye on him until we and the Sprohm Watch are ready! Cyril Town Watch
Encounters Edit
Sprohmknights Edit
Defectors from the town watch. They aim to bring every clan under their control.
- White Monk (Bangaa)
- Fighter (Human)
- Soldier (Human)
- Warrior (Bangaa)
- White Mage (Nu Mou)

I question whether the examples given of class H worlds all are actually considered class H. In particular, Ocampa, and Nimbus III, and Ceti Alpha V ... were these ever mentioned as being in this class?
- You're right, the only named planet ever identified as class H was Tau Cygna V. I guess someone assumed that the others would fit class H as well, because they are also dry and hot, but there is absolutely no proof for that. --Jörg 10:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
