Rick Ross, Wale Vow to Stay on Their Grind in Billboard Cover Story
Rick Ross is paving the way to become the biggest rap mogul in the music game with his Maybach Music Group imprint. Leading the charge is his MMG signee Wale who appears on the cover of Billboard magazine with the Bawse, himself. Together, the two discuss the future of MMG, which includes labelmates Meek Mill and Pill.
The magazine sees Rozay building his MMG label into a rap empire similar to his fellow artists like Lil Wayne (Young Money), Kanye West (G.O.O.D Music) and Jay-Z (Roc Nation). "I've most definitely been a fan of Hov and his whole movement," Ross tells the publication. "He gave a blueprint to many young entrepreneurs, as well as Wayne, with how active Wayne is with artists. There's a lot of different approaches, but at the end of the day, we've … Just got to be hands-on and walk our own path."
Since experiencing his health scare in October when he suffered two seizures in one day, the Miami rapper has recovered and is ready to get back on his hustle. "It could have been a lot worse," he says. "So I'm just thankful. I feel good — and I'm back on my grind already."
Meanwhile, Wale is off to a good start as MMG's flagship artist. His second album 'Ambition' debut at No. 1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Album chart with 164,000 copies sold. It's a prominent victory for the Washington, D.C. rapper who was once signed to Interscope Records but was dropped after his 2009 LP 'Attention Deficit' sold poorly. "It's not surprising," he boasts. "I knew I could do it."
Wale is appreciative of MMG's support and backing of his album 'Ambition.' The rapper feels the album represents his current mind state as he continues on his new journey under the auspices of his MMG leader Rick Ross. "I nailed it this time," Wale says. "I'll keep busting my a– until … You're going to have to respect me. I love hip-hop so much, and I'm really a humble dude. We're all cocky inside our records — because that's how rap is."
The Rick Ross/Wale-featured Billboard magazine is on newsstands now.

from Our Sunday Visitor, 2/12/2006
At first glance, Pope Benedict XVI's first encyclical is almost trite in its topic: Deus Caritas Est, "God is Love." Yet behind this deceptively simple catechism is a provocative examination of human and divine love, Christ's nature and the meaning of the Cross, the roles of Church and state and the distinctions between justice and charity.
Both topical and catechetical, this encyclical issues no overt condemnations beyond obvious criticisms of materialistic ideologies. Yet its critique of love challenges some core assumptions of our modern consumer culture.
Pope Benedict's critique is very much on target. In today's confused world, eros is too often reduced to a sexual impulse, a warm feeling for whomever or whatever one might desire. Agape becomes a matter of simply being nice to others, particularly as long as they are nice or at least grateful in return. These, however, are only narrower, shallower pieces of what eros and agape are supposed to be: Eros, the faithful, self-giving and reciprocal love between God and man and between man and woman, demands expression in agape, the love, compassion and service for one's neighbor. Each of these two loves is greatly diminished without the other.
Christians are thus called to actively care for others, to whatever extent their opportunities allow, because by loving Christ they see him in every other human being. Love calls and binds them to God and impels them to model Jesus, who is the personification of real love.
Love is complete when it is incarnational, the human manifestation of the divine. The most profound examples of self-giving love are the Father's giving of his son at the Incarnation and Jesus' sacrificial death for our sins at Calvary.
We may not be called to crucifixion or even martyrdom, but we are called to give of ourselves in love to God and neighbor. Our faith in God must animate our actions and give them meaning; Deus Caritas Est is, in fact, an apt meditation on the necessity and codependence of faith and works: Faith demands service to others, and that service is hollowed if it is not done with genuine love in the name of Christ.
That means not proselytization through our charitable efforts, but rather allowing our actions preach the Gospel rather than our words. This is evangelization in the style of Blessed Mother Teresa, St. Vincent de Paul, Dorothy Day and St. Francis of Assisi.
This grand encyclical calls us to examine our consciences on several levels:
Do modern pagans recognize Christians by our love for each other as easily as they did in the early Church? More specifically, is this how our neighbors, co-workers and friends view us, based on how we interact with others and live our lives?
Do we view charitable outreach as merely providing material goods to the needy, or as a "spiritual service" of love for neighbor?
In works of charity, do we recognize, in the pope's words, "when it is time to speak of God and when it is better to say nothing and to let love alone speak"?
Does our service lead us to greater humility, or do we find ourselves thinking we are somehow superior to those we serve?
Do we commit ourselves regularly to prayer, that "inexhaustible source" of our service to others?

I've got gratitude in abundance during the holidays, and whenever I think about Christmas 1994 I'm especially grateful--to be alive. Here's a journal excerpt:
As tradition dictated, we got together with all the family for our Christmas Eve sub-sandwich fest with all the chips and dip and fixings: Grandma, Grandpa, uncles, aunts, four cousins, Mom, Dad, me and my six siblings plus Andrew and Grace. Eighteen people, not an insignificant detail.
Christmas fell on Sunday this year which meant Christmas dinner would wait until after church but during the service I didn't feel well. Something with my insides, a horrible gurgling-cramping-aching-nauseated feeling that should never accompany the holiday spirit, and once home I lay down to see if the feeling would pass. By the afternoon it was time for dinner at Grandma's house so I peeled myself off the furniture to get in the car, though I didn't feel like eating.
On the road it hit hard and by the time I reached the house I had enough time to desperately dash to the bathroom before deciding that I'd had enough of Christmas. However, while I was busy something strange was going on at the table. Like a bad episode of Survivor Christmas the guests were dropping one by one. First me, then Luke, then Andrew and even those who were left were eating with decidedly less enthusiasm than usual.
Cutting it short for the day and limping back home, the eye of the storm soon hit: Carinne, Dan, Luke, Andrew, Grace, Dad, Melissa, all sick. I huddled in bed, shaking and freezing--you know the kind of sick when you've got twenty layers on and still can't warm up? Where you're begging for death?
There was someone in each of the three bathrooms which left several victims without a place to go, Andrew had tried to get into the bathroom but as it was full (Luke was busy dying) he could only lay on the floor outside the door and groan. My sweet Florence Nightingale-of-a-mother, still on her feet, went from room to room distributing bags to those unfortunate enough to be without a bathroom, then made return trips to collect the used containers and redistribute new ones.
When I woke the next morning I felt shaky but alive--the hope of life filling my soul--and one by one family members crept from bedrooms and bathrooms to see who had survived the holocaust. One, two, three . . . all present and accounted for, though a little worse for wear.
It was the Christmas of Death and has been forever enshrined in memory as the holiday that wasn't. Turns out Grandma and Grandpa, plus Jim and his family were all sick too. Seventeen total because the next day Mom fell ill--and thank goodness for her delayed reaction or we'd never have made it through. The only one out of 18 people who didn't come down with our Mysterious Illness was Melanie. Very suspicious. I've seen enough "Murder She Wrote" to know that would make her the prime suspect.
Was it something we ate? Watch out for that bacon dip, it's a killer. Are there holidays that have special significance in your life?

So is this because they need to raise enough money to pay the billions in taxes they've avoided thus far? Probably not.
Vodafone has left its Pay As You Go customers with a sour taste in their mouths after increasing the cost of calls by up to £1.50 a minute. From the middle of next month, Vodafone punters on the Simply price plan will be stung with a hike. Calls to any network, standard landline, or voicemail, will jump four pence to 25p per …
The prices that are going up are doing so because they can. The prices going down are doing so because they have to, thanks to the EU constantly putting pressure on mobile networks to lower their roaming fees.
But the EU's watchdogs have teeth as sharp as anyone else's, which is why the price drops are just 3p whilst the increases are up to £1.50.
Is there a network like that?
As an example of their contempt I was just thinking the other day that the 4G auction next year is all well and good but where I live, in Gloucestershire (not exactly London, I know, but no Cumbria either) the 3G revolution still hasn't happened! And that's using the operators own massaged coverage maps! Not a single one covers anywhere within ten miles of where I live with 3G.
WTF indeed.
I live in the Borders. In a village with only 300 houses.
I get 3G (and fast too) courtesy of Three.
O2 has a variable 2G signal that varies from crap to non-existent.
Vodafone has a variable 2G signal that varies from "oh that's it stay in that position - yup try making the call now" to "sod it - we will pay for one of those Voda Gateway jobbies"
the other 2 networks - don't exist at all.
We get a strong DAB, Freeview, Sky signal though - and 8mb broadband - so can;t complain too much.
Though..... mains gas would be good.
I'm on PAYG with O2 and if I top-up £10 or more each month they give me 300 free texts and "unlimited" data.
Since I don't go over either (doing about 200 texts and 400MB a month), I think I'm getting a pretty reasonable deal - even more so when I see 12 month SIM only contracts for almost double the price on other networks and they either include a measly amount of data or none at all.
Of course, you need to have an O2 signal in the first place - but everywhere I go in London seems to be okay.
I believe with Vodafone it is worth it.
They have easily the best (2G) coverage in the UK.
Lowest dropped call rate
Fastest 3G data of any other network
Commitment to improve their coverage in the few areas that fall outside their signal zone.
Afterall you have to pay for quality. And it seems that o2 is getting out of their January 1st price hikes by disguising it as the VAT increase. Vodafone is squaring their prices to o2's levels.
But who am I to talk? I'm with Three and they're cheap and they have brilliant 3G coverage where I live in rural Dorset so perhaps I just disproved my theory that you have to pay for quality. Vodafone is great though, for 2G and if you need absolute reliablity.
well almost, all my payg calls will go via another operator but I pay you £5.00 a month to use your friends service whereby I can call 4 numbers for free, so you will get £5.00 a month from me until in your grubby greediness, you decide to change this. Then it's goodbye for good, what I hope is that for your profiteering you are rewarded suitably by your customers leaving in droves, then it might be goodbye forever, I can't wait.

Key terms
Causes and symptoms
Learned associations
Social and environmental stressors
Existential anxiety
Symptoms of anxiety
- Repression. The person pushes anxious thoughts or ideas out of conscious awareness.
- Displacement. Anxiety from one source is attached to a different object or event. Phobias are an example of the mechanism of displacement in psychoanalytic theory.
- Rationalization. The person justifies the anxious feelings by saying that any normal person would feel anxious in their situation.
- Somatization. The anxiety emerges in the form of physical complaints and illnesses, such as recurrent headaches, stomach upsets, or muscle and joint pain.
- Delusion formation. The person converts anxious feelings into conspiracy theories or similar ideas without reality testing. Delusion formation can involve groups as well as individuals.
Alternative treatment
Anxiety may be rational, such as the anxiety about doing well in a new job, about one's own or someone else's illness, about passing an examination, or about moving to a new community. People also feel realistic anxiety about world dangers, such as the possibility of war, and about social and economic changes that may affect their livelihood or way of living. Most persons find healthy ways to deal with their normal quota of anxiety.
Factors that can precipitate an attack of anxiety include any pathophysiological event that interferes with satisfaction of the basic human physiological needs. Situational factors include actual or perceived threat to self-concept, loss of significant others, threat to biological integrity, change in environment, change in socioeconomic status, and transmission of another person's anxiety to the individual. Other etiologic factors are associated with a threat to completion of developmental tasks at various life stages, for example, a threat to an adolescent in the completion of developmental tasks associated with sexual development, peer relationships, and independence.
Interventions. Measures to assist the individuals suffering from anxiety are aimed at helping them recognize their anxiety and their usual means of coping with it, and providing alternate, more healthful coping mechanisms that give a sense of physiological and psychological comfort.
People with anxiety disorders experience both the subjective emotion and various physical manifestations resulting from muscular tension and autonomic nervous system activity. This can produce a variety of symptoms, including sweating, dizziness, shortness of breath, insomnia, loss of appetite, and palpitations. The source of the anxiety lies in unconscious fears, unresolved conflicts, forbidden impulses, or threatening memories. Symptoms are often triggered by an apparently harmless stimulus that the patient unconsciously links with a deeply buried, anxiety-producing experience. Chronic anxiety can lead to various somatic alterations. The onset of anxiety may be gradual or sudden. Some persons experience incapacitating acute anxiety (as in panic disorder) while others manifest their anxiety through avoidant behavior patterns (phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder). Anxiety disorders include: panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia, specific phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, acute stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and substance-induced anxiety disorder.

Patient discussion about anxiety
Q. Social Anxiety I have found myself wondering more and more about social anxiety. My partner seemed to develop social anxiety around the same time she was diagnosed bipolar. i am wondering how many of you also suffer from soical anxiety and if you feel it is a result of bipolar disorder (perhaps personal knowledge of the possible behaviours associated with the illness) or if it is a seperate and unrelated symptom?
social anxiety disorder is best defeated by groups like
the Toastmasters International or the dale carnegie course.
The nwork without drugs
Q. what about opiod use in anxiety and depression? vicodin, anxiety, depression
Q. what are anxiety symptoms for a teen? before i get to school my heart beats really fast when i talk to someone i somtimes get hot or start to sweat. i dont feel like myself i also don't talk to some people anymore because i'm scared its going to be akward..

Saudi Arabia Beheads Seven Nigerians
In one of the largest executions in the kingdom in two decades, Saudi Arabia beheaded seven Nigerians Saturday for taking part in a bank heist, according to the Associated Press Saturady.
The penal authorities amputated the right hands and left feet of three other Nigerians involved in the same armed robbery, the Interior Ministry said in a statement quoted by the agency.
Executions and amputations in Saudi Arabia are carried out with a sword in a public square. Saturday's executions took place in the Red Sea port city of Jiddah.
The Interior Ministry statement did not say where and when the robbery took place.
The Nigerians had stolen a car to rob the bank, where they threatened the employees with cleavers, the statement said. They flagged down another car for their getaway, attacking its driver with cleavers and wounding him in the hand.
The robbers found to be the masterminds of the crime were the ones condemned to death, the statement said.
Murder, armed robbery, drug smuggling and sexual crimes are punishable by death under Islamic laws, which also call for the amputation of hands and feet for theft. Human rights organizations have criticized the executions and amputations, saying the accused do not receive fair trials.
A Nigerian Embassy official in Riyadh told AP the punishments were harsh, but that they would not affect Nigeria's relations with Saudi Arabia. Speaking on customary condition of anonymity, he said the embassy had appealed for the men's lives to be spared, but its appeals were rejected.
The official said the Nigerians were in Saudi Arabia as visitors when they were arrested – Albawaba.com

Cuyahoga County Prosecutors now want to have the court psychiatrist examine accused serial killer Anthony Sowell to see if he is crazy.
In a motion just filed, prosecutors say they have been given a report from an expert working with the defense, claiming Sowell suffers from a series of mental illnesses. Among them, obsessive compulsiveness, post traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, substance abuse and more.
The state wants to do this in case the jury has to decide if Sowell lives or dies and his mental capacity comes up at that time.
The state rested in the Cleveland Strangler trial late Monday morning. Judge Ambrose dismissed the jury for the day, and will rule on motions in their absence.
This, after jurors resumed watching video of Anthony Sowell's interrogation interview with homicide detectives first thing Monday morning.
In the video, Sowell continues to tell detectives he had "dreams."
Detectives leave the room, leaving Sowell alone with his thoughts for about 10 minutes. He looks nervous and plays with his hands while occasionally glancing out the window.
Detectives return, and ask Sowell about his sexual encounters with woman. They want to know if he liked to "get rough" with them.
The conversation between Sowell and Cleveland homicide detectives grows very tense. Lots of yelling. Detectives tell Sowell that he isn't "confused" and accuse him of holding back information. They then order him to take his shoe laces off.
Detectives are angry, telling Sowell he won't "man up." Sowell retorts, and tells them they are just trying to confuse him and he can't remember the details they want.
Detectives tell Sowell the victims' families deserve to know where they are, but he isn't man enough to admit what he did.
Sowell then reads his Miranda Rights off a card the detective gave him. The detectives then place his personal belongings into a manila envelope.
Detectives describe women coming to Sowell's home, making him angry and then him choking them. Sowell says, "I choked someone."
Detectives tell Sowell they are about done and cuff him. He hangs his head as if reality is finally setting in.
In the final clip, which appears to have been recorded the day after the original interview, Sowell is dressed in a blue jail jumpsuit.
Sowell tells detectives that he has been housed in his cell in a "suicide" suit, and says it is hard to sleep in. He once again is being read his rights and signing forms, saying he understands.
The morning session wrapped up with one of the detectives on the stand talking about the months of surveillance tape he watched from a nearby business. He said he saw Sowell come and go, but other than the woman who fell from Sowell's second story window, there was nothing incriminating to be found.
Sowell faces the death penalty if convicted of murdering eleven women. The bodies of the victims were found in and around Sowell's Imperial Avenue home in late 2009.

July/August 2006
The Urge to Liberation — Editorial
The whole thrust of human aspiration today is upon attaining liberation; freedom is the demand and the watchword of the times.Yet, interestingly, the Tibetan said that the major barrier to the path of the soul seeking liberation lies within ourselves.
The Great Approaches (The Coming New Religion), Part III — Djwhal Khul
Let it be emphatically stated here that the major method with which we can concern ourselves, and the most potent instrument in the hands of the spiritual Hierarchy, is the spreading of good will and its fusion into a united and working potency.
Synthesis:The Leo Experience and Shakespeare's Lear — Michael Srigley
Generally believed to have been written in late 1605 or early 1606 and acted at Court before James I on December 26, 1606, Shakespeare's Lear can be read and acted as prophetic of our own age.There are now many Leos and a growing number of Cordelias who are coming under the influence of Aquarius.
The Force of Liberation, Part II — Christine Morgan
The role of meditation is central to the whole process of death and liberation as it builds a pathway between the lower concrete mind, the higher abstract mind and beyond.One day this will ensure continuity of consciousness between this world and the subtler planes that, at present, only reveal themselves to us when we relinquish the physical body at death.
Spiritual Development and Nervous Diseases, Part I — Dr. Roberto Assagioli
Nowadays disorders due to spiritual causes are rapidly becoming more frequent, as the number of persons who are groping, consciously or unconsciously, towards a higher life, is much greater than before.Moreover, owing to the greater development and complexity of the personality, and particularly to the more critical mind of modern man, spiritual development has become a more difficult and complex process.
The New Era:A Time of Action — Maria V. Lenos
Yet, also ask yourself what you can add to the entrusted work.In this way, by accepting the Master's shield, one will conquer all that obstructs the ascent.You proceed because you are aflame with service.Precious is the flame of the heart.Fear not, for what has been planned will endure.This is a time of action!
Light:The Agent of Revelation — William Meader
Light is known by what it reveals.When considered from the spiritual perspective, this is a truism of great importance.The revelatory power of light is central to nearly all world religions….Esotericism lends much support to this view, though widens its application.For light is not only the agent of God's countenance, but also the means by which the soul reveals its wisdom and purpose within the human heart and mind.

Killswitch Engage To Play Intimate Gig at New York's CBGB Festival
Since the release of their new album 'Disarm the Descent,' Killswitch Engage have been touring nonstop. New York City fans will get a special treat on Oct. 12 when the major metal act plays an intimate show at the tiny Santos Party House as part of the second annual CBGB Festival.
In a press release, Killswitch frontman Jesse Leach states, "I am excited to be a part of the CBGB fest. The music that came out of the early punk and hardcore scene changed my life and CBGBs was a big part of that scene."
Leach goes on to say, "Playing a smaller intimate venue like Santos Party House gives us a chance to change stuff up and give fans a different KsE show with a diversified setlist. Saturday will be a night to remember!"
With no barricades and no separation between bands and the crowd, Santos Party House is known for being an insane venue for metal maniacs.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 10AM ET. Fans will be able to purchase here, for the price of $25. Proceeds from the show will be donated to The FC Foundation, an organization whose goal is to fight cancer by raising awareness about early cancer detection through education. Find out more information about the FC Foundation here.
A limited number of CBGB Fest badge-holders will be admitted to the show, as well. Support for the gig includes New York City based band Eye Ra Haze.
Killswitch Engage are also set to play a much bigger NYC venue, Roseland Ballroom, on Oct. 25 on their tour with Lamb of God, Testament and Huntress. Go here to see a full list of dates.

Claudio Recchi Aboard Lorenzo Santini's 'Uka Uka Racing' Wins Circolo Velico, Audi Sailing Series Event No. 4
8 September 2008
The race committee's decision to start racing at 09.30 on the final day of the Santa Margherita Ligure edition of the Melges 32 2008 Audi Sailing Series paid off and the twelve teams were able to complete three exciting races in breezes from eight to twelve knots. The tense battle for overall supremacy, between Fausto Rubbini on Thule and Claudio Recchi on Uka Uka, was waged across all three races with the outcome only decided on the final leg of the last race.
Race one started in twelve knots of wind with a disproportionately large swell. For the whole of the race Uka Uka, Thule as well as Stefano and Massimo Leporati's Kismet and Luigi Melegari's Matrix, were locked in a fierce four way fight for the lead. Places changed in this group on every leg and it was impossible to predict the winner until near the finish line. In the end it was Kismet who did enough to take the win from Matrix in second. Behind them Uka Uka beat Thule into fourth place to tie the regatta on points at this stage.
The action in race two was no less compelling. With the breeze at around ten knots and the swell still in evidence crews had to work the boats hard upwind but on the downwind legs there were plenty of opportunities for surfing on the large waves. Carlo Alberini aboard Calvi Network led at the first windward mark from Kismet and Uka Uka. Uka Uka hit the right hand side of the run hard and jumped from third to first at the leeward gate. Calvi Network dropped back to third behind Kismet on the next beat but the experienced Farr 40 crew, competing at their first Melges 32 regatta, were not beaten yet. On the final leg, as Uka Uka and Kismet worked the left of the run, Calvi Network rocketed down the other side in clear air to take the race win ahead of Uka Uka and Kismet. Further down the fleet, joint regatta leader Thule recorded a disappointing ninth place.
In the final race of the regatta Thule kept their chance of an overall win alive with a comprehensive race win. Having been able to take full advantage of a left shift soon after the start, they led around every mark and by the finish had extended their winning margin to over one minute. Meanwhile Uka Uka had to stage an amazing race comeback having rounded the first windward mark in fifth. By the end of the first downwind leg they had moved up to third behind Stefano Di Properzio at the helm of Mataran. However it was not until the final leg that they managed to overhaul Mataran and secure the vital second place which would guarantee them the regatta win. Uka Uka tactician Gabriele Benussi commented afterwards, 'In the final race it was difficult because there were many shifts and gusts on the race course. Fortunately on the final leg we got wave and a gust together that took us past Stefano."
Uka Uka's win in Santa Margherita Ligure also gives them into a six point lead in the overall 2008 Audi Sailing Series ahead of Kismet and Matrix. The series concludes with the final event in Lerici on 3-5 October. This regatta promises to attract the largest entry of the series so far with entries from the UK and Germany potentially boosting the fleet to fifteen boats.

Understanding the capabilities of your monitor will help you interpret readings more accurately when investigating power quality problems.
Years ago, power quality concerns were primarily limited to the effects of voltage on computers and other microprocessor-controlled equipment. However, as electronics took over the business world, the equipment itself became its own worst enemy. In today's high-tech society, the majority of electronic equipment is not just susceptible to power quality problems; it frequently creates them. This reality continues to increase the need for better power monitoring.
What's your first step to troubleshooting power quality problems? First, you need a monitor that accurately measures voltage and current waveforms. Although most electrical professionals usually consider sample rate, most overlook the other design factors that affect a monitor's overall performance.
The figure (available in print version, page 16) demonstrates the fallacy of a common meter myth. It shows about 1.5 cycles of a voltage waveform. (Sample points shown are for reference only and represent a sample rate of 16 samples per cycle.) Although many people assume the sampling rate is a good indicator of the quality and accuracy of a meter, this is only partially true. We really know very little about a meter's accuracy if we only know its sampling rate. To accurately define a point on the waveform, you must establish an x and y value.
The sampling rate establishes the x value. That is, when we state the sampling rate we can determine the distance between samples on the x axis. However, when we know only the sample rate, (the x value), we do not know the y value.
The y value is the actual voltage measurement. This is the value that identifies the true applied voltage. Without knowing the y value, you really know nothing about the quality of the waveform you're measuring.
The circuitry of a digital meter enables the device to measure this value and report it to the processor. However, most meter users never ask "how" or "how well" the meter measures the y value. The y value is based on the quality and precision of the analog to digital (A/D) converter in the meter. The meter processes the value coming from the A/D converter that ultimately becomes the reported electrical value. Therefore, the accuracy and precision of a digital meter is a function of the sample rate, A/D converter, and quality of the calculations performed.
In modern electronic devices, sample rates vary. Some devices used for metering may sample at rates as low as four samples per cycle. On the other extreme, very accurate, high-quality meters may sample as fast as 256 samples per cycle.
The sample rate greatly affects the ability of a device to correctly identify variations in the wave shape. Low sample rates are not suitable for any measurement where you might require high accuracy or where there may be concerns about harmonics, low power factor, or any other type of power quality phenomenon.
The quality and performance level of the A/D converter also varies. Some meters use an 8-bit A/D converter. High-precision or high-accuracy meters may use up to 16-bit A/D converters. Although a 16-bit A/D converter is currently the best available technology, most modern power quality meters use only 12- or 13-bit A/D converters.
The number of bits determines the size of the divisions along the y axis. To determine the size of the division, you need to know the full-scale voltage range and the A/D converter bit rate.
A typical digital meter may have a full-scale voltage rating of 150V, which is based on the rms voltage. This results in a full-scale measurement range of approximately 424V. To get from rms voltage to the corresponding peak voltage, you multiply the rms voltage by the square root of 2 or 1.414. (150 x 1.414 = approximately 212V.) This is the peak value of the sine wave. To get the full peak to peak waveform you must multiply the single side peak times 2 because the sine wave goes above and below the zero point by the same amount: 212 x 2 = 424V. This is the peak to peak voltage for a 150V rms value.
The measurement problem is even more severe for current. Full-scale voltage is closely related to normal voltage. However, normal current is usually much less than the required full-scale current. A meter with a nominal 5A input must accommodate an actual full-scale input of at least 10A.
However, meters designed to record waveforms or fault currents must measure an rms full-scale reading of 50A or more; that's 10 times the nominal full scale. When the rms current is converted to peak-to-peak values, a 5A meter must accommodate a peak-to-peak reading of 140A or more.
As you can see, the rating on the A/D converter has a great impact on the meter's ability to correctly register the shape of the waveform. However, after you take a reading, you must process it.
Meters use a variety of processors to calculate the electrical quantities based on the readings. The processor should always be rated higher than the A/D converter. Some meters use 16-bit processors, however, high accuracy meters almost universally use 32-bit processors.
From this discussion, there's no doubt that sample rate, A/D converter rating, and microprocessor rating all affect the accuracy of a digital meter as well as its ability to provide accurate power quality measurements. For metering applications where you're concerned about power quality, harmonics measurement, voltagedisturbances, or fault currents, using a meter with a high sample rate and high-bit A/D converter is a wise choice.

Then Yoshida might be blamed for Yuji's fall that she might throw her life away out of guilt in order to summon Pheles.

Listen to Sterling she/he(I don't know your gender) Is a novel reader.
Also The kind of merger, that Sairei no Hebi, and Yjui have, and the type that Yuji, and Hecte have are different. Hecate was just taking his memories. Sairei no Hebi need to inhabit, and control Yuji's body(or at least that was what was intended, but Sairei no hebi let Yuji keep control of his body, and he let Yuji have his powers.)

Also for DX HBK there would be no real point in trapping Kazumi, and forcing Yuji to merg with Sairei no Hebi because after their merger Yuji is still in control of their body, the only difference is that he turns in to a Guze no Ou, he has all of Sairei no Hebi's powers, he has a extremely huge amount of PoE, and he's the most powerful guze no Ou on earth
Also in the novel Yuji wants to merge with Sairei no hebi, because he agree's with Sairei no hebi's plans, and ideals, and wants to bring them about because they benifit him, Shana, and the rest of the world. well that is if his plans work, if they fail then the earth goes poof.

I just thought that Yuji might have a weakness in not wanting others to die on the decisions he makes, especially on the depicted hostage scene involving Yoshida in the OP. But if it aint gonna happen, oh well.
Oh well, it was just my shot in the dark on speculating.
Anyways, I have a question: So far, there have been multiple Guze no Ou that look human but are those their actual forms or are they just taking whatever form they like?

19:zarovee and bifrons attacks and defeated, sabrac appears
20:fight with sabrac, the flame hazes are heavily wounded

The cut down from seven to one comma makes the paragraph faster and smoother to read. Not trying to pick on you or anything just trying to make your posts easier to read in future consideration.
Anyway, back on topic cnnydz is that your speculation or is that what the summaries tell us? Seems like the pace will be speeding up again.

cnnydz has read the novels though. But there is no 100% that the anime will completely follow the novel.
The summaries do not say that much.
In the episode thread, I translated what ep18's summary said. It mentioned training with Margery, but that's it.
But episode 19's summary does mention Yuuji fighting Zarovee, because Yuuji realized Zarovee's small existence and thought he could take Zarovee on by himself.
Nothing for 20 and 21.

As for how it's connected, and why I really have no clue. We'll have to ask Cnnydz'll have to explaint hat. Actually I'm glad you brought it up becuase i was wondering about it too.
EDIT: Serenade Beta, although it's probably his speculation it makes sense, Zarovee was defeated quickly, and easily by Yuji. Then Bifrons came right after, and was also defeated fairly quickly. Then right after that Sabrac showed up. I think Cnnydz's speculation holds some grounds, though Yuji might merge with Sairei no Hebi right at the end of Episode 21.

Stupid Man, Smart Phone: Season 1
Genres: Documentary
Country: USA
Release Year: 2016
Synopsis: Russell Kane is crossing into the deadly Arctic Circle, travelling as far north as he can go - desperate for a cheeky peek at the legendary and beautiful Northern Lights. His mission partners are YouTube's beguiling wife and wife team - Rose and Rosie. Completely bereft of any survival skills or knowledge of the local customs or language, they're wandering the frozen wilds with just their mobile phone in the hope that it will prevent them freezing to death. But can the phone help them reach remotest Norway in order to get the best seats to view the hauntingly beautiful aurora borealis (Northern Lights)? To triumph they'll need to squeeze every megabit out of their phones. They'll refer to online experts for assistance, and their social media followers for help. But for Russell, it will be hard to separate the good advice from the offensive - and somewhat ignorant - trolling! They'll summon the full power of the internet to video call a sexy gun-toting survivalist for fire-starting advice, and beg their followers to identify the edible berries from the deadly. Their biggest challenge comes when their sat nav takes them to what seems to be the home of a family of serial killers. Has their phone sent them down the wrong path, or is the freezing cold getting to them? Can the internet conquer dog-sledding, indigestion-inducing reindeer blood pancakes, and the world's smelliest food - or should it just stick to helping us put up shelves and leave it at that?

SAN FRANCISCO — ChannelAdvisor said on Tuesday that client sales on eBay's (EBAY) online marketplace grew faster than on Amazon's website during the crucial first five days of the holiday shopping season.
ChannelAdvisor reported clients sales on eBay.com grew 55.2 percent on Cyber Monday, compared to the same day last year. For the five-day period from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, which ChannelAdvisor calls the "Cyber Five," client sales on San Jose-based eBay rose 38.3 percent compared to the same days in 2011.
ChannelAdvisor said client sales on Amazon.com jumped 42.4 percent on Cyber Monday compared to a year earlier. Over the "Cyber Five," client sales on Amazon.com rose 37.7 percent, the firm said.

Jerry Manuel said today he hopes the Mets can get on a run and sneak back into contention. He really doesn't have much more than hope because the Mets are becoming more and more irrelevant for this season.
They started sputtering before the All-Star break, but were within serious striking distance when Carlos Beltran was activated at the break.
They've been 11-20 since to deepen their hole by seven games to 11 behind Atlanta.
I posted a few things to look forward to down the stretch, but another one is the fallout from the Francisco Rodriguez incident.
The Major League Baseball Players Association, not surprisingly, has already filed a grievance against the Mets on behalf of Rodriguez for placing him on the disqualified list and attempt to convert his contract to a non-guaranteed deal.
Remember, the union's concern isn't about right or wrong – as evidenced by its head-in-the-sand stance on steroids – but simply getting every last nickel for the players.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Coalition troops formally handed over control of Iraq's Babil province to the Iraqi government on Thursday.
Medics treat wounded Ahmed Abdala who was injured in the suicide bombing on Thursday in Baghdad.
Babil, in central Iraq, is the 12th of Iraq's 18 provinces to revert to local security control. It is home to the ancient city of Babylon.
U.S. forces nicknamed northern Babil and surrounding areas the 'Triangle of Death' due to the amount of combat the area experienced earlier in the Iraq war.
Two days before the handover, 15 people were killed in the province in a land dispute between two tribes outside Hilla, according to the Interior Ministry.
Still, the move Thursday came amid a big drop in violence across Iraq and calls from Iraqis for the United States to come up with a troop withdrawal timetable.
A joint statement from the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, and the commander of U.S. forces in the country, Gen. Raymond Odierno, hailed Thursday's handover as "a positive step on the path to Iraq's self-reliance."
"The achievement in Babil Province means that now fully two-thirds of Iraq's provinces have assumed security responsibility," the statement said. "Iraqi Security Forces in Babil have been operating independently for the past several months. Working with local government and military officials, they have demonstrated their readiness to assume responsibility for the provincial security of Babil. Today this responsibility is theirs."
The statement said U.S. forces will "assist as needed."
Last month, coalition troops handed over Anbar province to Iraqis.
The other provinces that have transitioned to Iraqi security control are Duhuk, Irbil and Sulaimaniya in the Kurdish region, and Karbala, Najaf, Qadisiya, Muthanna, Thiqar, Basra, and Maysan in the Shiite south. Baghdad, Diyala, Salaheddin, Nineveh, Kirkuk and Wasit remain under U.S. control. View a map of the provinces »
While bloodshed has decreased overall, violence hit central Baghdad on Thursday as a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into the Iraqi labor minister's convoy, killing 11 people, officials said.
Minister Mahmoud Mohammed al-Radhi was not in the convoy when it was attacked in a busy commercial area of the city at about 8 a.m., an Interior Ministry official said.
The attack wounded 22 people, including some of the minister's security guards and some civilians.
Al-Radhi, a Shiite, was approved as labor and social affairs minister by the Iraqi parliament in May 2006.
